    Age To Age: Mrs Tolu Amon [Re-Upload]

    The dreaded pandemic had altered plans for a long time but I'm glad to be back with a few episodes. I was lucky to be able to sit and have a conversation with Mrs Amon thanks to her daughter reaching out. We talked about our parents and getting older which naturally brought us to legacies and posterity. I jumped at the opportunity to sit with Mrs Amon and we quickly eased into what became a very free-flowing conversation about life, work, independence, faith and children. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and Mrs Amon took so naturally to it in-spite of the lights and video camera (yes we filmed this one too and it will be out on Youtube one day) Thank you for sticking around and hope you enjoy this life story.  If you have any questions or comments about any topics in this episode please email: age2agepodcast@gmail.com More from the podcast: ⁠Instagram⁠ // ⁠Youtube⁠ // ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Listen to more episodes⁠

    Age To Age: Mr Valentine Uchenna Ezike [Re-Upload]

    I met Mr Valentine Ezike on a rainy Sunday evening in his lovely home and before long we were sat down to have this brilliant conversation. If you know anything about Nigeria you might know that there are quite a number of languages, cultures, tribes, faiths, sects and so on. It's no surprise that although I lived in Nigeria, I wasn't at all aware of the experience of someone of Igbo heritage. We speak about his experience not just growing up but also living through the Nigerian Civil war and life afterwards. As if one Civil war wasn't enough he also lived in Germany during the end of the civil war that saw the fall of the Berlin wall. In Mr Ezike's house I not only see pictures from his youth in Nigeria, I also see pictures of his early adult life in Europe before marriage and fatherhood. There was a lot to condense into this episode and the countless stories were a lot of fun to listen to. I apologise now for the many "wow"'s and odd sounds you might hear from me. I was genuinely fascinated.  Enjoy this recollection of the life of Mr Valentine Ezike.  For feedback on any of the topics mentioned in this episode or if you'd like to add to the conversation in a meaningful way, please email: age2agepodcast@gmail.com More from the podcast: Instagram // Youtube // Facebook Listen to more episodes

    Age To Age: Mr Gbenga Taiwo [Re-Upload]

    One thing that's clear to me at this point is that even though my guests in each episode so far have lived through a similar era with similar patterns, the story is quite different from person to person and I never know what to expect.  Although Mr Taiwo wasn't a stranger to me, there was still so much I didn't know about his life experiences. Some of which was quite fantastic and revelatory to me. I wish ALL of our conversation that day was recorded but that would have made for a much much longer episode. In this episode, we talk about life through the lens of a professional barrister, a father and devoted husband.  If you have any questions or comments about any topics in this episode please email: age2agepodcast@gmail.com More from the podcast: ⁠Instagram⁠ // ⁠Youtube⁠ // ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Listen to more episodes⁠

    Age To Age: Otunba Odunuga [Re-Upload]

    I sat with Mr Odunuga just minutes after walking through his door and we made ourselves some tea and got chatting almost immediately. It was really natural like we'd known each other for a lot longer. His insight and interesting life was a pleasure to listen to.  If you have any questions or comments about any topics in this episode please email: age2agepodcast@gmail.com More from the podcast: ⁠Instagram⁠ // ⁠Youtube⁠ // ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Listen to more episodes⁠ Music in this episode: Joromi  Gentleman Ja Funmi - King Sunny Ade

    Age 2 Age: Mr Femi Idowu [Re-Upload]

    I really got lucky to be able to sit and have this conversation. Not only did we talk about many insightful things, we also agree that his generation and my generation ought to have more of these kinds of conversations. It was an absolute delight to talk about various topics with someone who is really quite close to my family.

    The REACTION Episode featuring Lawrence Gbadamosi

    This episode is entirely different from the norm on the podcast and that's because in this episode my guest is a friend of mine whose support was integral to the decision to launch the podcast. We decided (on short notice) to go over some recurring, but also random, topics from previous episodes. The goal was to put ourselves in the seat of the casual listener. To react to some of the themes as though we were the intended audience. Turned out to be a great conversation. Hope you enjoy this break from the norm.

    Age 2 Age - Mrs Tokunbo Osunbayo

    My guest has a really interesting story that starts from as early as when she was 6 weeks old. Growing up with a foster family before eventually living with her parents. She’s a financial educator today but like everyone else has had to overcome personal insecurities. Throughout our conversation she comes across with such optimism that even through losses and situations that could easily negatively overwhelm a person, she’s able to see it from a positive standpoint. It’s almost a superpower. I had a lot to learn in this conversation and I think you will too. My guest is Tokunbo Osunbayo.
