The Afro-zillennial Experience Podcast


Join us every week as we delve into the realm of unexpressed thoughts, emotions, and messages. These aspects often go unspoken due to various reasons, such as fear, uncertainty, or the desire to maintain harmony. However, these unspoken thoughts possess significant meaning and impact on relationships and understanding between individuals. We emphasize the importance of cultivating a safe and open environment where people can comfortably express themselves and address these unspoken matters.


Throughout our discussions, we'll engage with your favourite celebrities and intriguing guests who have exceptional stories to share.

  • SE02EP09 – The “Everything Aren't Cruise” Episode
    Feb 27 2026

    This episode is a reminder that not everything is for vibes. Not everything is content. Not everything is cruise.


    We unpack conversations around false accusations and the ongoing DNA discourse trending online and the real consequences that follow when truth is treated casually. Reputation, trust, family, and identity are not punchlines.


    From there, we move into something deeper: the culture of performance. The ease of hiding behind curated personalities. The danger of being entertaining but not accountable. The difference between looking good and being good.


    We question how quickly narratives spread, how slowly responsibility shows up, and how often people weaponize emotion without thinking about impact.

    This episode isn’t loud, it’s reflective.

    It’s about integrity.

    About maturity.

    About understanding that some actions echo long after the moment passes.


    Because truly, everything no be cruise.

    Serious. Honest. Necessary.

  • SE02EP08 – The “Calm Down, Alpha” Episode
    Feb 20 2026

    This episode begins with a simple check-in life updates, personal shifts, and honest reflections before moving into the conversations dominating social media.

    We touch on the recent discussions around Nigeria’s electoral process and the tension shaping public opinion online. From there, we address the highly emotional discourse surrounding rape allegations, consent, and the cultural tendency to rush to loud conclusions.

    We speak about accountability, parenting both the boy child and the girl child, and the danger of rape apologism. We question whether every opinion needs to be aired immediately especially when nuance and sensitivity are required.


    The episode then transitions into a broader conversation about ego and autocratic masculinity, the kind that polices softness, discourages emotional expression, and equates warmth with weakness.

    We close with a dilemma about a man expressing simple affection in friendship and being met with suspicion, using it as a lens to examine how cultural rigidity limits healthy connection.


    Layered. Emotional. Contextual.

    A conversation about restraint, responsibility, and redefining strength.

  • SE02EP07 – The “Loyalty vs Rent” Episode
    Feb 13 2026

    This episode revolves around one dilemma: discovering your best friend’s partner cheating and being offered money to stay silent.


    From that single moment, the conversation expands into questions about loyalty, accountability, and the cost of doing the “right” thing in complicated situations.

    We discuss conflict in relationships, why people are quicker to walk away instead of working through issues, and the difference between endurance and self-respect. Kola also reflects on personal life changes and how growth can shift dynamics across friendships and relationships.


    The episode closes with a broader conversation about generational narratives particularly the idea that newer generations are less resilient or less capable and whether redefining boundaries is weakness or evolution.


    A focused, layered conversation on responsibility, loyalty, and modern relationships.
