According to Jideonwo, it is more than just a chat show; it is a place where humor, vulnerability, knowledge, and healing intersect.

He stated that the performance had created an environment in which individuals of all ages, particularly young Nigerians, could sit in rooms full of possibilities and leave feeling seen, heard, and genuinely moved.

Akindele shared her experience, saying the performance was all about humanity.

She added that the live show was for the audience to listen to celebrities on how they share their stories, pains and joys.

“There was a video on social media in which some women mocked me that I don’t have a husband.

“My God. I see all the insults on social media. I see all the posts that show how I left one husband for another one.

“I cried, cried, and cried. I just told myself, You need to speak to someone about this. You can’t continue like this.

“I told myself that I needed to speak; I reached out, and I started speaking. After then, I felt better. Things I couldn’t tell people out there. I spoke to my therapist, and I was better.

“So, I want to advise you out there. It’s very important for you to speak up. You need it. You can’t take everything. I’m a very strong person now. I have that strength to face any challenges in life.

“After the whole blackmailing, I got tougher. I started putting the story about my life into writing, even though I almost lost it mentally, but I used the mockery to produce a film,” she said.

Akindele, who shared her experience about reaching one billion views in one of her films at the box office, revealed that a director had previously informed her that she would not be able to do so.

Akindele stated that one of her top aims was to empower the next generation of filmmakers and produce multiple movie stars in the Nollywood business.

Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, also known as Kiekie, a media personality and social media/fashion influencer, said it was an honor to appear on the show.

“l feel delighted whenever I have to speak to express myself before a live audience.

“I am here for great conversation on topics around career, work and industry.

Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, a rapper, songwriter, and actor, said, “The #EndSARS period was one of the craziest and toughest times in my life, but I did not have any regrets participating in the protest.

“In my life, I was taught never to regret my actions; the #EndSARS protest was a moment that was monumental, so more than anything, I appreciated how I participated in the struggle.”

Other well-known individuals who told their stories include comedian Bovi Ugboma, rapper, and respected faith leader Pastor Jerry Eze.

Others include Veekee James, Moses Bliss, Taaooma, and Hauwa Lawal, who discussed how they maintain their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being despite juggling popularity, online scrutiny, and the constant push to be relevant.
