The African Giant BurnaBoy graced #TheRantsShow and brought his amazing energy with him.This episode was first published in 2017. 

This episode was first published on November 11th, 2016. This is a freestyle story created by me that touches on love and some of its elements.Have you ever been nervous about expressing yourself?Saying "I Love You" is a big deal and having it expressed back is a bigger deal. So what could go wrong?Hit play and enjoy it!Let me know what you think! Thanks!

This episode was first published on December 9th, 2016.  Love and LogicThe Rants return alongside #WordsOfWednesday on adewus4real.com"The Wordsmith as always on the microphone, what’s happening?!”Should a relationship be a gamble?One that you’re not sure if you may win.Should it just be down to feelings and not rationalized planning?I think personality traits contribute significantly towards people’s approach to getting into a relationship.Is it smart to roll a dice on your happiness because you think a person is “dope”?Coming out of crappy relationships or situations, people sit down and try to control the factors to avoid future hurt.But won’t that hurt you more in the long run? There is no way to predict if a relationship will work or not, I guess most people just really want to be super sure and limit the hurt.Does your age matter when you’re approaching relationships?Like can you gamble and just fall in love at 21 but at 26, you need more structure?The Wordsmith is extremely curious! So talk to me and I’ll talk back!

The world has been chaotic, to say the least and just all-round stressful, we came together on this episode to encourage us all to - BREATHE. This episode was recorded with a live virtual audience on October 26th, 2020. 

On the night of 20 October 2020, at about 6:50 p.m, members of the Nigerian Armed Forces opened fire on peaceful End SARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos State, Nigeria. Amnesty International stated that at least 12 protesters were killed in what the organization described as "extrajudicial executions". This episode was recorded approximately 18hours before these horrific killings. We never could have predicted the loss but we can promise to never forget or relent till justice is served. This episode was recorded with a live virtual audience on October 19th, 2020. 

End SARS is a decentralized social movement and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses.[2][3] The protests which takes its name from the slogan started in 2017 as a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #ENDSARS to demand the disbanding of the unit by the Nigerian government. This episode was recorded with a live virtual audience on October 12th, 2020.
