This episode brings it all together.

We talk about why women and girls are so often failed at the very beginning , from the shocking reality that laws are still needed to stop grown men from marrying 9-year-old girls, to the systems that limit safety, opportunity, and choice. When girlhood isn’t protected, it shapes everything that comes after.

With Ayomide Solanke, we unpack how early injustice connects to why so many women are forced to leave home to thrive, why global platforms become survival and strategy, and why women who make it internationally are still pressured to “give back” in impossible ways.

Pull Up sis

This one matters

Nigerian women are making it to the world stage Grammys, global boards, international rooms we were never meant to enter. And yet somehow, the first question is always.

“Okay but… what have you done for Nigeria?”

In this episode of That’s What She Said Nigeria, we’re getting into the real tea. Why do women often have to leave the country to thrive? Is it survival, ambition, or simply a lack of opportunity at home? And once a Nigerian woman makes it globally does she suddenly owe everyone grassroots impact too?

We’re talking global stars, big leadership rooms, and the unspoken pressure Nigerian women carry to represent, give back, fix systems, and still stay humble.

Pull up, sis.

You’re going to feel very seen

We’re not waiting for the system to finally decide we deserve a seat.
We’re building our own table.

In this episode, Onyeka Nwobu keeps it real, the system wasn’t designed for us, so why are we acting like we’re supposed to fit in?

We talk about:

• Why “waiting your turn” is the biggest lie you’ve been told

• Why you don’t need permission to be powerful

• How to stop chasing validation and start creating your own lane

• What it really means to build a system that works for you

This one is for the women who are done asking, and ready to take.
Press play and get ready to feel a little uncomfortable (in the best way).
