    The skit-maker and stand-up comedian, MC Remote, is my guest today.He tells me how growing up, his parents did not support his dreams. When he wanted to try comedy, they said no. When he tried drawing, they said no. Even when he turned to boxing, they said no again. Every talent he introduced to his family, they dismissed. But he kept fighting, he kept going.He says he was not great in school either, and sometimes it felt like he was just trying and failing. And then he lost his mom, and that moment changed everything. He says he had to leave the house, to find his own path, to survive.When I ask about his marriage, he tells me it is because he had no mother, and his wife stepped into that space for him. She has always been there, supportive and strong. He says she is the only one who can truly handle him.And this is MC Remote, telling his story as it is.Watch all new and old full episodes here: watch.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.com Donate to the work here: partner.withchude.com Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Hosted on Acast.

    There are stories you wish were fiction.Stories you hope were only rumours. But this one is real. The story of Reverend Emeka Ezeugo, known by his followers as Reverend King.In 2006, his case shook Nigeria. But over time, silence has covered it. His church still stands, his followers still defend him, and his name is barely spoken.Yet what happened cannot be forgotten. Women made to serve him naked. Followers beaten until they could not move. And then, in the most horrifying act, doused with fuel and set on fire.This is not fiction. This is not satire. This happened in Nigeria. And it must be remembered.This is the story of Reverend King.Watch all new and old full episodes here: www.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.com Donate to the work here: partner.withchude.com Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Hosted on Acast.
