This groundbreaking event will offer Nigerians a rare opportunity to witness his signature interview format—known for its honesty, vulnerability, and emotional depth—performed live and unfiltered.
Speaking ahead of the event, Chude says, “This is not just a show. It is a real and honestconversation about what it takes to survive and thrive in the spotlight.”
The live experience will feature exclusive one-on-one conversations with some of Nigeria’s mostrespected and admired public figures.

These individuals will open up about their journeys, struggles, personal evolution, and what it trulymeans to build impact while remaining authentic in the public eye.
