The 1on1 podcast anchored by Uchechukwu Ajuzieogu is an all in-depth, hard-hitting interviews series podcast with social and pod-worthy personalities. The One On One podcast is where discussion is centered on the issues surrounding various controversial social issues affecting everyone globally.
Most times it's not about commitment but reality of post-marriage. Is it just lack of money or is it a case of no virtuous women out there? For some, it's lack of money and stability, for the greater many, there is a huge issue. Because men are realising that there is no benefit for them in a marriage. A man is basically gambling half of everything he owns on the fact that his woman will never leave him. Especially if he is already getting everything he needs from a woman without the marriage.
Most girls just want to use marriage and "escape" poverty and suffering. Times are getting hard, men have families to take care of, their mothers and siblings need them. Getting married to a girl from a poor home, will increase your responsibility x10. That's because girls are not helping matter at all. Imaging all bills on boyfriend how would marriage be. I remember my last girlfriend told me to sell two plot of land that was given to me by my mum just because she need money to travel to Dubai which I refuse & that's the end? Mathe says.
Most men truly want to settle down despite their social class but find it difficult cos of their failed past relationships; Their love were taken for granted so many have lost the ability to develop any emotional connection, while some don't have the maturity to settle down yet.
And with Lack of trust for the opposite gender becoming a norm, the modern day woman is at a grid luck as her biology ticks down.

Nigeria Miserable Treatment of Pensioners
The Nigerian government introduced the pensions reform in 2004, yet the reforms are a joke to those who it's meant for. In Nigeria, the non-contributory pension scheme faces a lot of administrative challenges since its introduction in 1979. The major challenges are: embezzlement of pension funds, and delay in the payment of retirement benefits to retirees and on time. Will the Nigerian worker on retirement receive adequate benefits such as to achieve the goals of the pension reforms?

First Born Roles and Responsibilities: A Cause for Good?
Everybody knows that firstborns are natural leaders, middle children are rebels and the baby of the family is spoiled yet confident. At least, that’s what received wisdom tells us. But is any of it true? And where did this idea come from in the first place?
In the 1930s the Austrian psychotherapist Alfred Adler was the first to study birth order and its effect on personality. He believed that “every difficulty of development is caused by rivalry and lack of cooperation in the family”.
According to Adler, an only child never has to compete for their parents’ attention and is never “replaced” by other siblings. Similarly, the oldest child receives most of the parents’ attention and is likely to feel responsible towards their younger siblings, which is reflected in their perfectionism, hard-working attitude and conscientiousness. In this episode of the One On One Podcast with host Uchechukwu Ajuzieogu, we take a dive into the world of the first born, the role, responsibility, pros and cons of being in this societal narrative construct.

Nigerians Take on SARS🚫
End SARS is a decentralised social movement, and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses.
Over the last two weeks, protests (https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2020/oct/13/end-sars-police-brutality-protests-nigeria-abuja-lagos-video-explainer) organized around #EndSARS—the mass action calling for a complete ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) (https://guardian.ng/news/endsars-protests-buhari-promises-to-improve-governance/) of the Nigerian police force—has rocked cities across Nigeria. Set up in the mid-1990s to combat incidences of armed robbery, SARS has over the years metamorphosed into a force associated with harassment of innocent citizens, extortion at gunpoint (https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2020/10/22/sars-a-brief-history-of-a-rogue-unit), and extrajudicial killings (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/11/nigeria-to-disband-sars-police-unit-accused-of-killings-and-brutality) of suspects.
In this solo episode of the OneOnOne Podcast, I go deep on trending and pressing issues about the SARS unit of the Nigerian Police Force and why the Nigerian Government keeps shut. We look at those we've lost to the fight.

From the Eyes of the Community Builder
Nigeria, the seventh largest country in the world by population and the largest in Africa, has become a booming tech hub (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/04/africa/marketplace-africa-facebook-nunu-ntshingila-spc-intl/index.html). It has seen rapid open source growth over the past three years, according to data from GitHub. Last year, Nigeria had a 65.9% increase in contributors — the highest percentage growth of any country — according to GitHub's most recent State of the Octoverse (https://octoverse.github.com/) report. Between 2018 and 2019, it also topped GitHub's ranking of the countries with the greatest surge in open source projects, with 59% growth.
Nigeria's surge in open source development is part of a larger boost to its tech ecosystem, spurred by increasing investment — both from venture capitalists and big tech companies like Facebook — and a spate of successful startups, like Flutterwave (https://www.businessinsider.com/african-fintech-flutterwave-gets-35-million-partners-with-worldpay-2020-1) and Paystack. (https://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valley-payments-firm-stripe-buys-nigerian-startup-paystack-2020-10) This boom has driven the enthusiasm of a young citizenry that sees technology as a viable career path, with open source development in particular becoming an attractive gateway into the field. With a strong community focus, open source in Nigeria has helped snowball the tech industry's growth overall.
In this episode, Uchechukwu Ajuzieogu talks to Yusuf Kamaldeen on the scope of community building and advocacy in the Nigerian tech communities and more.

A poet is a person who creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be a writer of poetry, or may perform their art to an audience.
English essayist and poet Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834) named Edmund Spenser the "poet's poet" for his unique innovations in poetry. While scholars often begin English literature with Chaucer, Edmund Spenser advanced English poetry in a way that influenced and inspired later poets of various national identities.
In this episode Uchechukwu Ajuzieogu interacts with a modern day poet -Sizah Amah on the holistic venue of Poetry and the effect of it's course.
