Renowned Nigerian talk show host, Chude Jideonwo, is set to take his widely acclaimed interview series, #WithChude, from the screen to the stage for the first time ever. The live talk concert, #WithChudeLive, is scheduled to take place on April 27 in Lagos, Nigeria, promising an unforgettable evening of truth-telling, soul-baring, and unfiltered stories.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, Jideonwo announced an impressive lineup of cultural and public figures who will be featured in this landmark event. The evening will spotlight intimate conversations with personalities such as award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, screen queen Funke Akindele, firebrand preacher Pastor Jerry Eze, and comedian Bovi, among others.

“For more than five years, #WithChude has been a space where truth, vulnerability, and personal growth are not only welcomed but celebrated,” Jideonwo said. “Now, we are taking that deeply human experience beyond the camera—to a live audience—for the first time.”

The talk concert aims to peel back the curtain on the lives of Africa’s most admired icons, revealing the personal struggles, triumphs, and defining moments that shaped them. Attendees can expect raw, candid conversations that go beyond the headlines to capture the soul of each guest.

“This is not just an event,” Jideonwo emphasized. “It’s a cultural moment. A night where perspectives will shift, where stories will heal, and where truth will connect us all.”

The live experience is expected to draw thousands of attendees—fans, truth-seekers, and lovers of meaningful dialogue—for what promises to be an inspiring and transformative night.
