“What a year! A big thanks to those who joined the conversation in 2024 and to the giants who've been with us from the previous year, you guys are the real deal. We promise to continue to be ourselves, speaking to our truth and we hope you can appreciate us for it. See you in 2025!”

“It’s been truly a pleasure to witness the impact Loose Talk has had on all of us. This journey has been nothing short of amazing, watching so many giants in our community grow and thrive in various aspects of life. Thank you for being with us in 2024. In 2025, the show goes on. Happy New Year!”

Steve.

“To all our incredible listeners, thank you for rocking with Loose Talk in 2024! Your time and support kept us inspired. Here’s to more laughter, insight, and great convos in the new year. Cheers to 2025!”

Believe it or not, we are over one year into Tinubu's administration. The guys and I assess the President's administration and wonder if we can expect a miracle in the next three years, with all things considered.

On X, the issue of the Nigerian passport and its bad rep overseas was also a topic of conversation. Who's to blame, the government or the people?

In the music department, we spoke about Tyla's interview at the Breakfast Club that went viral over the debate of race and ethnicity.

Have a great week!

Hey my people,

Another Monday, another episode. As you've noticed, we have started discussing sports on the pod. This started an natural as all our other conversations have. If you feel like we are stressing a bit too much on it, please write us and tell us what you'd like to hear more from us. (Same goes for the political talk).

Anyways, we've got something coming this July and we can't wait to announce.

Stay locked in!

- Osagie.

Yes, yes, yes, I know. We are a day late, but this episode is a banger raised to the power of 2.

We kicked off this episode with the recent demolitions in Lagos and analyzed who's to blame.

Of course, we touched on Eniola Badmu's recent appointment and the recent activities of the Nigeria Customs Services.

During the pod, Steve, Osagie and I also looked at the cyber security levy and the maths problem it caused online.

We concluded the Drake and Kendrick beef saga and read some interesting fan mails.

Have a great week!

Hey, fam.

The crew is back with another episode. This time, we got into a little debate about hip-hop. The ongoing rap beefs have caused that, and that's why we love hip-hop anyway.

I hope y'all enjoy this episode.

On this episode, we get to host our second guest! It’s none other than the biggest food critic in Nigeria, Ope Famakin.

We talk about his early days and his journey into media, how he ditched writing for short video formats, and how he reacts to critiquing his video content. Listen up!

The fear of Naira spraying is the beginning of wisdom. To be forewarned is to have sense.

In today’s episode, the guys and I speak about EFCC’s crusade for people to respect the Naira. We highlight Bobrisky’s and Cubana Chief Preist cases.

We also discussed the attitude of Nigerians towards death using the passing of the Nollywood actor Junior Pope as a reference.

Of course, we added onus spice in this episode.

Enjoy

Hello family, The Fu'ad came through on this episode. Fu'ad is building something important called Archivi.ng, a project that involves documenting and digitising Nigerian newspapers from 1960 to 2010.

We are excited about this project and brought Fu'ad to talk about it, his journey in the media and a lot more.

Such an insightful one. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Hey guys. What a crazy week we had in Nigeria. The FG went after Binance like it had the antidote to all of Nigeria’s problems.

Also, 4173 BDC operators were barred by the CBN.

In this episode we talked about the Mavin UMG deal and what it means for Nigerian music. 

Enjoy

Hey guys!

Seems like there’s drama every week?

If we aren’t battling the Naira, we’re arguing about Afrobeat’s past. If we aren’t queuing for rice, we’re commercialising someone’s pain.

We went on a music bender on this episode because, honestly, we’re tired of discussing Nigeria.

Listen through and share your thoughts!

Hey Giants

Energy level might be low but we still came through. I hope you all enjoy this episode of rants about Nigeria and our thoughts on Eedris Abdul Kareem and Burna Boy spat.

Energy level will be high at the next episode.

Hello! Apologies for dropping a day late. We wanted to talk about the AFCON final so that’s why we held back.

You will love this episode. The guys and I entered a wormhole of Ghanaian music. We didn’t forget to talk about the Super Eagles, the Grammys, the Super Bowl. We also debated if Nigerians should have the right to bear arms.

Enjoy.

Hello guys...yeah today is a throwback episode. We know you wanted to hear about the GRAMMYs and more, but men propose, and schedules dispose.

While we are working on a new episode, here is a throwback episode featuring none other than singer Niyola. If you never listened to this episode when it initially dropped, this is for you. And if you caught it the first time, listening to it again would be even better.

See you Giants next week.

Hey guys,

We had so much fun with the music segment on this episode that we lost track of time (see what I did there? Track? Okay, I’ll let myself out)

Anyways, it was another wholesome conversation and I enjoyed reading this week’s fanmails.

Go have yourself another amazing week and I hope our conversations can carry y’all through it.

Bless!

Fam

We had quite a lot to talk about this week. Music, Nigerian hip hop legends, AFCON and a little bit of Nigeria. 

We also drew some marketing and sales lessons we learnt from street doctors. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording. 

Talk to you soon 

Hello Giants. The guys and I on this episode came to the conclusion that Nigeria is a failed state.

It is a harsh truth but it is something we have to come to terms with. Anyway, besides the level of security and kidnappings in the country we also spoke about some interesting as well.

Dig in and have a great week.

New year, new shenanigans!

We’re picking up where we left off in 2023 with the hustle, our internal battles with how we want to live our lives and of course, the never-ending social media drama.

Hope you started your 2024 on a high note and if you haven’t, that’s also fine - you’ll get into the groove of things.

We’re tweaking the content direction of the pod a bit; after reviewing the survey we carried out, we’ll be implementing some of the feedback and hopefully, you’ll like it better.

Yes, the Patreon plan is coming too - so please be excited for us.You’re Podfully,-

Hello fam; We have started the new year with a fresh episode. On this one, we reflected on 2023, the year we finally came back with the pod.

We looked into the new year to see what it would look like for us.

We are excited to be on this journey with y'all.

Welcome to 2024

If you couldn't make it to Holy Ghost Camp or Shiloh or The Experience, don't worry we have got you covered. I promise you that the first 30 minutes of this episode is the best bible study you have heard. Three hot men of God preaching from the Tabernacle with fire not felt since the days of the prophets of old.

We broke down the 10 Commandments and dug deep into the scandal that rocked the Kingdom of Israel. With our discerning spirit, Osagie, Steve and I dissected the David and Bathsheba affair.

Ladies and gentlemen, service is about to begin. You can open your Bibles to.....

P.S. We also read some cool fanmails and shout out to Dr Alban.
