    A Conversation with the one and only Nollywood legend - EMEKA IKE

    It was such a pleasure to have the one and only Emeka Ike on our Podcast - he was amazing and shared his next project. I must apologise for his non-visibility/appearance for part of video. We had so much technical issues on the day, hence it has taken this long to upload episode 4. I intend to have a face-to-face/in-the-studio interview with him in the nearest future to make amends! So watch this space. For those of you who might know Emeka Ike (I highly doubt this!), he is a Nigerian actor and was a special guest in Monrovia on the occasion of the commissioning of the new pavilion of Center for Democratic Change CDC. On screen, Emeka Ike graced our screens with his outstanding performance and left viewers always wanting more. He was the epitome of romance and made viewers around the Africa, might I also add around the world, believe in love. Although, he is no longer particularly proud of these early roles, but we are glad that he allowed us to witness his charisma and talent as an outstanding actor. He has appeared in numerous movies, for example A Million Tears 2 (2006), I Swear (2004) and A Million Tears (2006), and The Snake Girl (2006) just to name a few. Along with his peers, they made Nollywood what it is today and took our stories beyond the shores of Africa and to world. In our conversation, he shared is humble beginning and the challenges in the industry. Most importantly, you will learn about his next film project - he wants to tell the story of some of Nigerian soldiers that are still defending the nation with their lives, despite the high stakes involved. WE AT DEE:UNLEASHED PODCAST CELEBRATE THE LEGEND THAT IS EMAKE IKE!!

    A Conversation with Reverend Father Dr Anthony Azuwike, a Lecturer at Veritas University Abuja, Nigeria

    Father Azuwike is a Nigerian American, a barrister and a priest currently a full-time lecturer at Veritas University, Nigeria, Abuja. The University is a Catholic institution and obviously, he is at the Faculty of Law. I had the pleasure of first meeting him at the Nigerian Law School, Abuja in 2017 when both completed the academic programme. We were called to the Nigerian Bar in 2018. In this episode, you will learn how his dream of establishing the Faculty of Law at the University came to fruition. He was able to achieve this with the support of the Catholic Church and influential individuals, some of whom are the current Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty, Professor Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge. He shared that his dual identity as a Catholic priest and a legal academic has positioned him to influence both the spiritual/ethical dimension and academic/legal education at Veritas — consistent with the University’s identity as a Catholic institution rooted in faith and reason. Most compelling and quite admirable is the fact that Father Azuwike is a Nigerian American returnee who is unapologetically Nigerian. He is a very patriotic Nigerian and determined to use the wealth of experiences he acquired in American to make a difference in Nigeria. So please watch and stream my conversation with my friend, Father Azuwike, about the outstanding work he is doing in Nigeria, despite the challenges - he has not allowed the challenges to deter him.

You will learn that aside from having played football professionally, he is also a book-worm, albeit he does not like to acknowledge this and is most humble about this truth. You will learn about his plan for Nollywood, and the Hollywood actor he would like to work with. Most amazingly, he came up with the name of my podcast just about 5 minutes before the start of our conversation - a name I absolutely love. What a talent! I plan to upload that brief life-changing moment separately.
