The host of #WithChude, Chude Jideonwo has released the third instalment of his annual list of some of the most interesting people in the culture. #TheJoy150 list profiles 150 Nigerians whose lives and work inspire and bring joy.
The list was announced in a special annual episode of the show along with co-hosts Chinasa Anukam (Host, Is this seat taken?), Kenzy Udosen (Comedian), and Lamide Akintobi (Producer, CNN).
“It always gives me such joy to do this list,” Jideonwo said. “Every year, I observe all the fantastic people making life and culture a joy in Nigeria. Then I want to be sure people celebrate what makes them truly special and the distinctive way they make reality sparkle. There are much more than 150, so these are just some of the many. This annual episode is to remind them, especially those not known to the mainstream public, that they are seen, they are heard, and they are a blessing. I hope this list excites everyone who sees it!”
