So Nigerian

In this episode of So Nigerian, we sit down with Melody MIA, radio host, hype woman, and one of the most electric voices in Nigeria’s live entertainment scene, for an honest and inspiring conversation about carving out space as a woman in a male-dominated industry. From commanding crowds on stage to holding her own behind the mic, Melody opens up about the journey that shaped her confidence, her voice, and her brand.We talk about how she found her calling in hosting and hyping, the realities people don’t see behind the energy, and the misconceptions that often follow women in entertainment. Melody shares moments where being a woman worked in her favour, times when it didn’t, and how she learned to set boundaries, earn respect, and stay unapologetically herself in spaces that don’t always make room for women.This episode is a candid exploration of confidence, resilience, and self-belief, packed with real-life stories, industry insights, and lessons for anyone trying to find their footing, especially women navigating industries where they’re often the minority. Whether you’re in entertainment, media, or just figuring out how to own your voice, this conversation will resonate deeply.FOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.ihttps://www.instagram.com/themelodynotmia

On today’s episode, we’re diving into one of those relationship topics everybody has experienced but nobody likes to admit - jealousy and insecurity. Why do we get jealous? When is it normal, and when is it a red flag? Is it “cute” or is it a sign that something deeper is off? We break down the thin line between love, fear, and control, and why insecurity shows up even in the healthiest relationships.We talk triggers, trust issues, social media wahala, emotional maturity, and all the little things that make jealousy spiral into something bigger. And of course, we also get into how to communicate better so your relationship doesn’t turn into a battleground.If you’ve ever caught yourself overthinking, snooping, or fighting imaginary battles in your head, this one is for you. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe learn a thing or two about keeping your peace (and your relationship).Google forms: https://forms.gle/LKG8XM4v2yrax5dj9FOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.i
