TUWOG: Uti Nwachukwu

‘You almost forget who you are, especially when you are an empath because you start to want to live in certain ways to make certain people happy forgetting to make yourself happy. It’s never too late to start learning these lessons’ Uti Nwachukwu.

You’ve seen him in Nollywood movies, he’s spent 133 days in the Big Brother House, you follow him on social media and you think you know all there is to know about him already. Or do you?

We focus on relationships on this episode both romantic and platonic. How to be in it for the right reasons with the right person, learning from heartbreak and the brilliant things that happen when you understand yourself.
