Segun Arinze never talks about his personal life and so I am grateful that he shared these truths with me.

He talks about navigating the very public divorce with his fellow actor wife, how he handled the public attention and the years he spent in tearful prayer to God asking for a new partner.

We talk about the depression that followed the massive success of the ‘Black Arrow’ character that made him a star - while the world celebrated him, the role caged him.

We talk about his silence after his daughter called him out on social media, and why he will not join issues with his family on social media

And we talk about those terrible years when he was blacklisted by Nollywood, and voice overs saved his life.

It’s Segun Arinze, in full colour

#WithChude is a special series of targeted multimedia (video, audio, text, event) conversations and investigations that leverage the voice, network and passion of its host, Chude Jideonwo and his interviews, to underline issues, raise consciousness and spark movements; especially in Africa and for Africans.

#WithChude has been revolutionary at the forefront of issues around sexual abuse, depression, HIV/AIDs, diversity, shame amongst others, and continues to break new ground – holding space, sharing grace, and calling in.

Focused on narratives that enable and strengthen the mind (mental health), heart (emotional health) and spirit (spiritual health), its themes center on empathy, compassion, mindfulness, wellness, happiness, love, joy and food for the soul.

Beyond inspiration, beyond motivation, this is about connection.
