CHICK CHAT LIVE EPISODE 8- IS HE STINGY OR NAH
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.

In the first segment, my guests (Irene Syrimis, Tseshe Doyle-Egunjobi, Kaylah Oniwo) and I discuss whether they are “tensioned” or threatened by a partners “Office Wife”. We discuss the boundaries around such relationships and whether or not how you dress helps you mark your territory with your significant other.

Two friends are in a dispute over a reactionary slap a child received after a misdemeanor.
