What I Know EP 10: Respect in Nigeria: Tradition vs Individuality Across Generations WITH KORTY

What does respect really mean to us as Nigerians—and has that meaning shifted over time?In this episode, I sit down with  @kortyeo  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCTFFhYhkLkxjhcCdwUKmQ5g] for a candid, necessary conversation on the Nigerian interpretation of respect - how we were taught to give it, how we expect to receive it, and how a new generation is questioning it.We talk about the tension between culture and individuality, the weight of “respect your elders,” and whether respect should be automatic or earned. I share my perspective from lived experience, while Korty brings the voice of a younger generation navigating these expectations in real time.This is not a conversation about right or wrong - it’s about understanding. Because if we don’t examine what we’ve inherited, we can’t decide what we want to keep.Watch, reflect, and tell me - what does respect mean to you now?#ShaffyBelloWhatIKnow #Respect #NigerianCulture #GenerationalConversations

What I Know EP6: Women in Nollywood | Biodun Stephen, Linda Ejiofor - Suleiman

We’re diving into a world I know intimately - Nollywood. But this isn’t a conversation about scripts or scenes; it’s about the women in front of the camera and behind it. I am joined by two phenomenal forces: the visionary director Biodun Stephen, whose stories truly touch the soul, and the graceful yet gritty Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, a woman who has become a quietly powerful pillar of our screen space.In this episode, we’re stripping away the glamour to speak on the raw, unspoken realities of being a woman in this industry. We’re talking about those early days of feeling underestimated, the heavy silence surrounding pay disparity, and the "labels" we’re given when we finally decide to set boundaries.From navigating the pressures of social media and "follower-count" casting to the sacred balance of family and personal peace, we explore what it truly costs to carry these stories. This is a conversation about legacy, limitations, and the fierce beauty of the woman behind the role.Join us as we share what we’ve learned, what we’ve survived, and ultimately, what we know.#WhatIKnow #nollywood #womeninfilm #ShaffyBello #BiodunStephen #LindaEjiofor
