He has been called the most feared journalist in Nigeria – and the price he has had to pay for that has been to flee his country, to live as a fugitive in several African countries since 2020 and to have no Nigerian pastor because he says he will be arrested if he visits any Nigerian embassy abroad.
But to what end? He called Bola Tinubu a drug baron, but he is still the president, Nasco is still in business, Flutterwave is winning awards, and Issa Patami is a free man. Has it all been worth it?
He says yes, even as he has to moved to the United Kingdom to, as he tells me exclusively, start a new chapter in his life as a ‘tech bro’.
In this exclusive interview, his first physical sit down on national television, he tells me why he has paid the price he has paid, what life is exile has been like, how he has survived financially, his new book and why he says that era of journalism for him has ended.
