천주교 신부 되기| The One with Father James Anyaegbu – On Being a Catholic Priest: Episode 41 (2021)

When asked what they want to be when they grow up, most children say they want to be a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer, among other things. However, it is rare to come across someone who wishes to become a priest. Well, I had the opportunity to meet someone who had been fascinated with the idea of becoming a priest since the age of six.

Father James Anyaegbu is a Catholic Diocese of Aba and a Nigerian priest currently serving in pastoral ministry in Scotland, United Kingdom. He entered the seminary at the age of 11 to be trained as a priest.

With his passion for young people, he founded an online platform to share his faith and charity work. And, even though he was born when there was no internet, he figured out social media and has used it as a tool to reach many by teaching them about the Catholic faith and reassuring them about the love and faith in Christ since the pandemic.

It was a pleasure to sit with this TikTok-savvy priest as he reflected on his childhood and how far he has progressed in his priesthood journey. Fr. James is incredibly passionate about his work as a priest and bridging ecumenism. He also shared some insightful advice for those traveling home for the holidays and some sound advice for parents.

새로운 사업주| The One with Olabimpe Shode - On Running a Business from the Diaspora & Other Stories: Episode 40 (2021)

With the discovery of the Omicron variant, another Omega variant, the variability of information, the vaccination palaver, and the travel ban, 2021 has been a ride, like a journey from the big year 2020. My teenage friend, Bimpe, who is not new to the podcast, was with me to discuss 2021 so far.

We discussed the inconsistency of information on the COVID, the controversies that have circulated, and she shared safety tips for those traveling during this holiday season. Mask up, whether you've been vaccinated or not!

In the midst of 2021, she launched her business in Nigeria, and we discussed how to start and run a business in Nigeria. She had an entrepreneurial spirit even before moving to the United States, which she has now developed. Bimpe founded Beams Kiddies to serve children aged 0 to 12 and their caregivers, selling lifestyle products and gently used items.

Running a business in Nigeria and entrusting it to others is risky, but my resilient friend did it anyway and shared her challenges, wins, and everything in between. It was a lighthearted and enjoyable episode in which we shared relatable stories about almost everything. Listen to everything we shared here.

암호화폐에 관한 모든 것| The One with Ojogbane Okolo – On Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and “Those Who Love Them": Episode 39 (2021)

Though born in the UK, Ojogbane grew up in the northern part of Nigeria in a large family amidst uncles and aunties. He would eventually move to the UK to begin life for himself. Despite some initial hiccups reintegrating, he's managed to stay resilient and optimistic.

Ojogbane, who's now a crypto and NFT trader, talked about his journey toward entrepreneurship after leaving his 9-5 job featuring Lloyds Bank and Deloitte, in no particular order nor magnitude. He also shared the impact of boarding school on life as he now knows it, how he was taught to be resilient and understand early enough how life works.

We also explored him moving back to the UK, then vs. now, in which he clearly stated how important it is to find the right people before moving to a new country. We also tried to demystify the cryptic nature of cryptocurrencies, NFT trading, the mystery around the virtual trading world. Also, on how to get started and some basic terminologies to know. Finally, we explored criticisms and delved into why some countries like China have issues with crypto, NFT, and the like.

Ojogbane helped us unpack cryptocurrency's essence though I still have more questions than answers. Nevertheless, this was an excellent episode. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself.

Find Ojogbane and his adventures via @iamthechoko on IG and the bird page.

냉어의 모험| The One with Mo! and Her Friends – On Their First Cruise Experience: Episode 38 (2021)

When you are looking forward to a boat cruise, you will experience both excitement and apprehension. And, until you've done it, it can appear to be a risky endeavor. But you only get one life, and if you don't go on adventures, you'll never know what it's like.

A group of six, my friends, and I decided to just go for it and enjoy the cruise. So we cruised through the Southern portion of North America, that was Mexico. It was the first time for the majority of us. We discussed our excitement about going on a boat cruise in this episode with Ayooluwa Cole, Taiwo Adedipe aka Tdawg, Bisi Rihanot Jolasun, and myself what it was like in the days leading up to the big day, what we liked best about the cruise, and what we didn't. One of us also mentioned how she enjoyed the ride despite her allergies.

I'm grateful for this vacation because it allowed me to take a break from work while also spending time with people I enjoy spending time with and trying new things. We've decided to go back on another cruise adventure!

So if you want to go on a cruise someday, whether for fun, with friends, as an adventure, or for your honeymoon, this episode will show you some of the things you should know.

One of our recommendations is to not go on a cruise by yourself, so share this episode with someone you'll be traveling with.

I sea you,

모 /Mo!/

눈부신 용기| The One with Dagmar Jamieson – On Living with Stargardt Macular Dystrophy: Episode 37 (2021)

Happy Thanksgiving, fam!

From moving countries and learning new languages (German and then English) to adjusting to gradually losing her eyesight from the age of 13, Dagmar has grown to become tenacious and inspiring.

Dagmar Jamieson, my cousin's mentor and a life coach to many, became legally blind as a teenager. She was diagnosed with Stargardt macular dystrophy at an early age. She is happily married with a son and a certified life coach, business owner, and community leader.

In this episode, Dagmar shared her journey from Czechoslovakia to Austria and then Canada, adjusting to a new environment and learning new languages. Then there was the gradual loss of her sight and her determination not to let any limitations hold her back. You'll learn about some myths about blindness, as well as how strong and determined an 8-year-old can be amidst life-changing circumstances.

Dagmar's life is inspiring. She has demonstrated great rigor and an unbeatable outlook on life. We are grateful for her, especially in this thanksgiving and her impact on those around her. You should definitely listen to this episode because Dagmar's story will make you thankful.

은혜와 책임| The One with Linda Jena – On Cancel Culture from a Biblical Perspective: Episode 36 (2021)

While there's a good chance you reading this may not yet have been canceled, there's a high probability that you know someone, perhaps, a celebrity, who has been through that wringer.

What then is cancel culture and why has it become a cultural force in recent years? That said, we can all agree that public accountability is also necessary for most instances. So how do we then strike the balance between "canceling" people vs holding them accountable? And who gets to be the jury, judge, and executioner? Also, how do we cancel people with clear convictions? Does cancel culture even give the space for true reflection and repentance in the canceled ones?

As you can imagine, there are no quick answers to these complex questions. This was why I brought Ms. Linda Jena back on the show. Apart from being such a dear friend and sister, she's also one of the wisest people I know. And one who usually has all the answers.

So, in this episode, we explored cancel culture together, especially what the Bible has to say about it.

Forgiveness, as we know, is a uniquely Christian virtue. Others may forgive, but only Christians have such a solid basis for forgiveness. As C.S. Lewis says, ‘To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.'

And for the non-Christians, it's your opportunity to hear how to hold your Christian friends accountable, should they also fall short.

먼 곳의 스승| The One with Dr. Olufunmilola Abraham - On Faraway Mentors: Episode 35 (2021)

Have you ever had someone whose playbook you borrowed and has significantly impacted your life? Perhaps, is there someone you deeply admire from afar? How do you think it would feel to be able to finally sit down with such a person letting them know the many ways they have shaped your life?

This is Dr. Abraham for me, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to finally talk with her on this show.

Dr. Olufunmilola Abraham is an Associate Professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She directs the CRoME (Collaborative Research on Medication Use and Family Health) lab, which is trying to develop and disseminate novel methods to improve medication safety for vulnerable and underserved populations. To improve medication adherence, they employ a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach.

In this episode with Dr. Oluwafunmilola, we shared the collective experience as former Chevron employees pursuing grad school in the US and life as assistant professors. She also shared much about her research work and how mentorships have been a big part of her process.

Dr. Olufunmilola and I are similar in a few ways, such as the fact that we both enjoyed teaching and had no strong desire to practice pharmacy anymore.

I hope this episode inspires you to be great and teaches you how to live a balanced life at work and home. If you have any questions about this episode, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at talktomo@mosibyl.com.

나이지리아 비자| The One with Mo! – On Acquiring a Nigerian Visa in the USA: Episode 34 (2021)

Did you know that Nigeria made the list of the countries with the hardest countries to get a visa?

Dealing with Nigerian authorities, no matter where you are in the world is always an experience. I've had my fair share of this, and I do not hold back on sharing my experiences and lessons learned.

I'm back with more visa stories, but this time with beneficial tips for obtaining a Nigerian visa from the diaspora, particularly the United States. If you are a Nigerian in the diaspora with an expired Nigerian passport and want to visit home, or if you are married to a Nigerian and want to visit Nigeria with your spouse, or if you are going to visit Nigeria with your Nigerian friend(s), you will need this information. Or perhaps you don't fit in any of these criteria but would like to find ways to support your Nigerian friends!

I have also written a blog with step-by-step instructions for obtaining a Nigerian visa; I hope you find them helpful. Finally, listen to the podcast for its meat and provide feedback as you use the provided resources.

Stay Hopeful,

Mo!

국제 시민 되기| The One with Doni Aldine – On Global Cultural Identity: Episode 33 (2021)

Identity is a word that is commonly used and thrown around. Cultural identity is a component of a person's identity, including self-perception, nationality, ethnicity, and religion.

In this episode, Doni Aldine, my guest is a globally mobile Afro-Latina and first-generation North American sensation who identifies with seven different cultures. Doni is passionate about creating community for cross-cultural populations. She is also the Founder of Culturs magazine, which reaches more than 1.2 million through email, mobile, digital, and print editions.

In this episode, she shared her upbringing and its influence on her passions. In addition, she explains how she has been able to embrace her global cultural identity and the impact it has had on relationships. Doni also provided practical tips on engaging with diverse cultures, especially in the era of cancel culture and political correctness. She discussed vulnerability and empathy, as well as their roles in cultural curiosity.

There is much more to share; listen to get every detail here.

My husband and I have been in the United States for about ten years. The stories that led up to us finally getting our green cards are incredible and hard to believe. But these things do happen to people, and we don't hear about them enough.

We decided to share these stories in this episode to encourage anyone going through similar experiences, and for those who have been through it, I hope you can relate and realize you are not alone.

Tdawg and I shared our immigration stories in this episode to highlight what it takes and what it means to travel outside of Nigeria to other countries, particularly the United States.

This conversation is our real story; listen here for all of it.

Being on the receiving end of questions feels strange but in a good way. I turned 35 recently and decided to have a reflective moment with my friend, Linda.

Linda is back! Linda Jena, my dear friend, and sister, came back from the Proust questionnaire interview with even more deeply reflective questions. Linda is one of the show's most committed supporters. She is from Zimbabwe and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at Texas A&M University in Commerce, TX.

This episode was soul-searching and self-reflective for me. In this episode, we talked about living life, joy, pride, faith, the importance of finding your tribe, and most importantly, learning lessons and moving forward amidst grief and disappointments.

Brace yourself for bolder stories, and please let us know how we can better serve you and what topics you'd like for us to explore.

아프리카인과 한류| The One with Chulu Chansa – On Africans and Korean Entertainment: Episode 30 (2021)

Africa is a beautiful continent with rich and diverse cultures. We are bursting with stories, but our global impact has had a minimal reach. Chulu and I reflected on our childhood memories as Africans, the evolution of media, and our shared love for Kdramas. Way before The Squid Game garnered the cross-national status it has gained, Chulu and I have more than two decades' combined worth of experience indulging in Korean entertainment. The Squid Game is one example of Korean entertainment's broad reach and acceptability, and we are excited about this.

Chulu Chansa, this week's guest, is a Zambian podcaster, a writer of modern African culture & lifestyle blog, the host of the Africana Woman podcast, a transformational speaker, and mentor. She joined me on this episode to explore the different aspects of the entertainment industry and mostly Korean entertainment.

In this episode, we talked about our favorite shows and what we love about Korean dramas, what African countries can learn from Korea, and the potential of boosting tourism and cultural explorations in Africa via a boon in the entertainment sectors.

Though the views we expressed in this episode are subjective and can change, this episode is generally entertaining, insightful, and nostalgic. It's also a testament that when someone from the southern part of African meets another from the West, it's always a fun time!

PS: Are you a Kdrama lover as well? Have you ever considered learning the Korean language?

The Proust Questionnaire, popularized by the novelist Marcel Proust, is a self-exploration questionnaire designed to help people uncover their outlook on life and personality and offer clarity on how they think and what they truly value most in life. Using some questions from the Proust questionnaire, my friend Linda and I explored ourselves.

Linda Jena, who hails from Zimbabwe, is currently getting her Ph.D. in Commerce, Texas. She is not new to the show, and as she cracks me up all the time, I could not think of any other person to do this with.

In this special episode, Linda and I shared some private truths about our personalities. All told, this was a brave expedition of self, bounded within the safety of a friend and sister.

I am curious to know this about you: "If money was no object, what (else) would you be doing in life?"

Brain drain is characterized by the emigration of highly skilled professionals to other countries. Right now, there is a high rate of doctors being recruited by other countries. Last month alone, the Saudi Arabia health ministry organized a recruitment test in Abuja, where over 500 Nigerian doctors showed up for the interview!

Dr. Roli Iwere, a Nigerian-born-Ghana-trained medical doctor, was a high school friend, and it was great catching up with her after a long while. She shared some of her experiences growing up in Nigeria, schooling in Ghana, and now working as an attending in the US.

In this episode, Roli shared her thoughts about the Nigerian healthcare system, her experience as a medical doctor in the COVID era, and more stories about her connection to Ghana. In addition, you will get to know whose side she picked in the Nigerian-Ghanian Jollof war. If there is anything to take home from this episode is that it is okay to start all over again, with a spoonful of Jollof in tow - the Naija kind.

Listen for more on her exciting stories and share some of yours too if you are an ex-pat or you just love to travel.

진다바드 아프가니스탄| The One with Arzo Yusuf – Zindabad Afghanistan: Episode 27 (2021)

This episode is one intense and emotional conversation about Afghanistan, the veil of oppression, and the US influences. This is about a connection to a home country; it is about untold stories and education.

Arzo Yusuf, my Afghan-American guest, is the Executive Director of Angel's Nest helping foster youth with resources. She is also a social impact entrepreneur of an indie beauty brand, a portion of proceeds is donated to helping foster youth and sex trafficking survivors. She is also a political asylum refugee born in Afghanistan and displaced after the Soviet invasion. In this episode, she shared her story and that of her family. Being born in Afghanistan around the war, her family fled to safety in America, where they eventually settled.

Her connection with Afghanistan, her firsthand knowledge about what is going on in Afghanistan, and her involvement in helping the people in her community are why I chose to have this conversation with her. The media has sold us their story, which isn't always the whole story. This episode is raw, real, informative, and educational all at the same time.

We want you to be a part of this conversation. Share any contribution you have on any social media platform by using the hashtag - #Afghantalk and we will find you.

PS: Thanks to dad, Mr. O.O Ogunsanya for providing some questions to enrich this episode.

Peace,

한부모 가정| The One with Doc. Peace Uche (Again) – On Thriving with a Single Parent: Episode 26 (2021)

The quality of parents' relationships makes a difference to children in many ways. Unfortunately, some people's behavioral patterns have been influenced by the parent's split or constant conflict. However, my guest in this episode has chosen to focus on the positive and consciously set the negative aside.

Doc Peace Uche was on the show earlier this year, and now she's back to share a more personal and vulnerable story about her growing up. She is a doctor of pharmacy, transformational rhythmic speaker, empowerment guru, and radio show personality.

In this episode, Dr. Peace shares with us how growing up in a single-parent household has shaped her life and shared how she hopes to do things differently. This episode will encourage you and inspire you to lead a forgiving and positive life. We also talked about parents' roles in being more active participants in their children's lives above and beyond marital conflicts.

Doc Peace commented that the episode felt therapeutic; we hope it encourages you as well.

Best,

모 /Mo!/

관계 편향| The One With B - On Relationship Biases and Parental Influences: Episode 25 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:

After saying no consistently for a year, and the parents disapproving of the marriage based on ethnic differences for a while, B eventually got married to her heartthrob. B is a Nigerian in Canada who has been happily married for seven years. She has been very supportive of this podcast and this time, we had her share her journey before getting married to her husband; from finally giving him a yes after initially being turned off by his advances to getting her mum’s consent. She believes her relationship is not a template, but her story is an inspiring one you will learn a lot from.

In this episode, B talks about growing in love, especially when one’s spouse does not come in the initial package as expected. She also shares how she was able to get past her mum’s bias about her husband’s tribe.

Here is an interesting episode you will enjoy. Listen in and let us know what you think!

PS: (Ladies, especially), do not waste anyone's time as much as you don't want anyone wasting yours.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 한국의 기독교 종교| The One With Dr. Ayomide Adebayo - On A Deep Exploration of Korean Cults: Episode 24 (2021)

Just like Korean entertainment, Korean cults are beginning to have a global reach. So much so that I almost got recruited into one, unknowingly! However, these organizations bear semblance with Christianity, thus making it difficult to decipher their ulterior motives at first glance. Hence the name fringe churches To discuss this alarming issue is one of my mentors and fellow geek, Ayomide Adebayo, aka Doc Ayomide.

Doc Ayomide is a writer and psychiatrist who’s spent over a decade thinking, writing, and speaking about what it means to be human through the lenses of behavioral psychology, culture, and faith. He has been featured on various Nigerian radio and TV stations, international media, including HuffPost, and invited to speak at a TEDx.

In this episode, Doc Ayomide and I talked about why cults exist, their characteristics, the profile of likely victims, and why Koreans especially are susceptible to these organizations. He also differentiated between Christianity and cults, and from his professional experience, advised on how best to support cult victims and preventive measures for non-members.

I shared my experience of being almost recruited into one of these Korean cults; listen to get the full details.

눈부신 용기| The One With Sola Adewumi - On Winning Against All Odds: Episode 23 (2021)

If resilience and strength were a person, it would be my dear cousin, Sola Adewumi, a woman who is chasing her dreams against all odds.

Sola is a mum of two who is currently studying for her nursing degree in Canada. In this episode, she opened up about battling with failure, the several low moments she has experienced, and the invaluable lessons they have taught her. She also talked about her relocation to Canada and the behind-the-scenes information on transitioning to nursing from digital marketing in a foreign land!

In this episode, we explore our childhood traumas and their impact on adulthood, being cousins, how Sola’s rare, genetic eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa (an eye disease that causes progressive vision loss) – greatly affected her education, and making a career switch from digital marketing to nursing. Sola took the IELTS examination nine times before getting her desired score! Listen to find out what she did differently on her final attempt. Perhaps you are struggling with failure, this is an episode to encourage you to keep going on.

PS: Because of the nature of our relationship, this episode with my cousin contains some dark humor and outright ridiculousness that might be uncomfortable to some listeners. But it’s all in good jest – and just what you do as cousins!

PPS: Using this episode to generate awareness for retinitis pigmentosa. As of the time of this recording, there’s yet to be a cure for this debilitating disease. If you will like to read more about it and lend some support, click here: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/retinitis-pigmentosa/

He founded an alternative credit rating agency Credimarks in Ghana, to help extend credit into traditionally underserved markets.
