CHICK CHAT LIVE WITH CORNELIA O'DWYER Cornelia ODwyer

The Chick Chat Live season finale ends just as I imagined. Its an episode thats honest, contestable, funny, provoking and real all at the same time. My "single" co-hosts ('Dodo's Uvieghara, Nenesi Ibru, Initeme Adukeh) and I share our insights, experiences and vulnerabilities as women in Lagos . We speak about the rewards and (or) societal penalties we receive as "single" women. The episode addresses some of the emotional issues and societal consequences women are confronted with in the course of being "Single-By-Choice". We discuss fertility, why "single" women are "picky" and a whole lot more.

Its been a great journey with you all and it was a special birthday episode for me so I made sure to cut my cake and raised a toast! Whoop whoop!

Thank you for watching guys! I hope you have all enjoyed this season and SUBSCRIBED TO THE TRIBE. (We promise not to SPAM)

See you next SEASON and stay tuned to my channel for new and fresh content.

Today's episode is a 45 min special business edition where we talk MONEY. Featuring Bilikiss Adebiyi Abiola(Founder Wecyclers), Ese Aigbogun (Co-founder Greensprout NG) and Kemdi Uwaje-Begho (MD, Future Soft/Creative Director, AlwaysMe). On the first segment we talk about the challenges doing business in Nigeria and how to navigate some of them.

Our Chick Chat Hot Topic of the day is "My Money is My Money". Here, a woman inherits £100,000 cash, property in England and Nigeria from her deceased father. Her husband has assumed this money is for "We" and asked for either the money or property as collateral to invest in his 'New' business. Is she selfish if she says no? Could this come back to bite her if she says no? Should women be smarter about their money before giving it to "a man"

Judge the matter!

On the first segment of this episode, my guests (Eku Edewor, Gbemi Phillips, Vimbai Mutinhiri) and I discuss balancing 'YOUR WORK & YOUR PRIVATE LIFE'. We address setting physical, social and emotional boundaries in the 'WORK PLACE'. We address how far talent can take you in a crowded market place and how long being too circumspect about private affairs can work for you.

Our Chick Chat Hot Topic of the day is "Stooping to conquer". The story deals with a lady who has been asked by her mother-in-law to call her brother-in-law who is the same age as her, uncle. She soon finds that her husband doesn't think its a big deal and worries what else they may spring on her.

On the first segment of Chick Chat Live, my guests (Beverly Naya, Makashe Awogboro, Andrea Giaccaglia) and I discuss friendships and envy. A question was asked to a group of panellists at a conference:
"When you are "doing better" than your friends and you detect envy as the issue, how do you handle it? " A panelist responded "It is your responsibility to carry your friends along, it is your responsibility to make sure nothing in you causes envy to rise in another" Do you agree?

The hot topic of the day deals with a wife who's caught her husband cheating with her family friend. The circumstances surrounding the affair make it difficult for the wife to react. When you know about an affair and you are not ready to leave? Is it necessary to "address" it each time? People tend to imply that infidelity demands an immediate reaction but it isn't always the case. Please judge the matter!

On this episode of Chick Chat Live, I ask my guests some life and career questions about how living within and outside of Nigeria has helped to shape or influence their person. We delve into societal expectations on marriage and how you know for sure if the path you're on is the right one.

Our Chick Chat Hot Topic of the day is "Is he stingy or nah"? Here a lady is trying to decipher why her otherwise sweet and caring boyfriend of over a year plus has never bought her a gift.
Not a birthday, Valentine's or Christmas gift. Is this a stingy character trait and a sign that he won't be a 'generous husband' or do we place too much importance on "trivial exchanges"

On the first segment of the show, my co-hosts (Tade Alalade, Sinmi Hughes-Obiesan, Bukky Karibi-Whyte) and I discuss popularity vs. influence. Our PR and Advertising executives share some tips on how to handle your own PR.

Our Chick Chat Hot Topic of the day is "Marking your territory with a crazy ex-wife". The story deals with a woman who is battling whether to confront her boyfriend's crazy ex-wife or leaving him to handle the situation. After several attempts to reach her ex-husband, a lady takes things to the extreme when she spots his new girlfriends children in his car coming home from school. She double crosses the car and seizes the keys instructing the driver to tell his boss to call her. The confused driver was forced to take the young kids (6 & 8 year olds) home on an Okada (local motorbike). The girlfriend was on her way to confront her when she is interrupted by her bestie's words of "wisdom" to let the man handle it instead.
