In this heartfelt and surprisingly humorous episode of Tea With Tay, Folagade Banks, widely known as Mama Deola joins Tay on the couch to share the story behind the wigs, the laughter, and the identity he nearly ran from.
Before the viral skits, before the signature sass of Mama Deola, Folagade was managing models, unsure of his path but certain that the life he was living wasnât it. He opens up about the fear of not being taken seriously, the hesitation around pursuing comedy, and the moment he decided to stop waiting for permission and start showing up as himself.
But this episode goes far beyond the jokes. Itâs a conversation about purpose, the quiet kind that creeps up on you. About trusting the whispers of your intuition, about grief, reinvention, and the courage to chase a version of yourself that doesnât exist yet.
From model manager to skit maker, from unseen to unforgettable, this is Folagade Banksâ journey. Unfiltered, unexpected, and deeply moving.
If you've ever felt like your dreams make no sense on paper, or that your path looks nothing like anyone else's, this episode is your reminder that you're not lost, you're just becoming.

The silence... it's finally broken. After a long hiatus, Tea With Tay returns. But not alone. A voice from the wilderness joins us, a friend wielding both scripture and scathing wit, the one and only Toke Makinwa!
Is it a reckoning? A spiritual intervention? Or just a chaotic catch-up? We had a conversation that teeters on the edge of profound and profoundly ridiculous. Prepare for a resurrection of sorts, a clash of convictions, and maybe, just maybe, a few divine punchlines. The answers, or at least the questionable jokes, await.

A roller coaster ride of highs and lows, the last episode of the third season of Tea With Tay ends on a sublime note with PR & Comms whiz, Elizabeth Osho, founder and CEO of PR company, So.Me Solutions.
On Tay's couch, Elizabeth takes us down corridors of opulence as she shares her childhood experience, growing up as one of the grandkids of the first female medical doctor in West Africa, Elizabeth Abimbola Awoliyi. It's however not entirely a rosy experience as Elizabeth had to grow up shuffling between two worlds; her father's and her mother's amidst psychological warfare with her stepmother. We're also taken on a wild ride from Ikoyi, to Ikeja, England and back to Lagos as little Liz grows into Liz Omoja, the TV presenter and recruitment officer with the red convertible and endless inches of hair and dwindling wealth. She then becomes Liz, the stargirl and online editor of Genevieve Mag before setting up shop as founder of PR Company, So.Me Solutions.
Now a wife and mother to a toddler, Elizabeth shares how even in marriage and while running a thriving business backed by a man she loves, she'd encountered trials, battling infertility for over 5 years and constantly losing money to failed IVF cycles.
A true reflection of the capricious nature of life, this season finale is a story of overcoming traumas to be a better person and just as highlighted in Elizabeth's book, "Who Do You Think You Are?" teaches the ability to fall 7 times and get up 8. This episode is for anyone who's scared to take on their next challenge and is in doubt of their abilities or needs a source of inspiration. This episode is for me & you. Enjoy!

As the third season of Tea With Tay begins to wind down, Taymesan is joined by electrifying soul singer, Timi Dakolo who shares with Taymesan how his journey into music beganâ surprisingly, by accident. Raised by his late grandmother much like Tay, Timi shares extensively on his colourful childhood growing up in Port Harcourt. In Tea With Tay fashion, weâre intimated on Timi Dakoloâs music origin story and how he grew up as the choir boy whose voice was too different to be appreciated by members of the choir to become the winner of the first ever West African Idols music contest. That win was however his first step on a long journey to stardom as Timi had to conquer his lack of knowledge in the art of making music, by learning how to write music, an act through which he graced the airwaves with several evergreen songs.
On this episode, Timiâs humorous Port-Harcourt persona takes center stage and we meet the Timi Dakolo we never knew while being regaled with stories of life in Port Harcourt, how he defied the odds, his viewpoint on family as a family man himself as well as his latest album âThe Chorus Leaderâ. Make sure to enjoy this episode with a steaming mug of your fave Lipton tea!

If you're a fan of Madame Joyce and her banter-filled podcast, Cocktails & Takeaways, this episode of Tea With Tay should be savoured with the understanding that this is more than a podcasters' linkup but also the tea and takeaways episode, not only serving the tea but enough nuggets to serve as take home food for thoughts.
Marking the 20th episode of the third season of Tea With Tay, this episode features UK-born and bred podcaster and media personality Madame Joyce who shares a side of her that's never been seen before on Tay's couch as she discusses her childhood and childhood traumas as the kid who never quite fit in. She also relates that child to the adult she's grown to be, drawing parallels with how her adopted personality informed the Madame Joyce we know now. A strong reminder never to despise the days of little beginnings, Madame Joyce also shares how she became to be the media powerhouse she is now after listening to the still small voice in her debt-ridden room years back.
From analysing the dynamics of dating in the UK VS in Nigeria to childhood traumas and coming of age moments, battles with maintaining authenticity as media personalities and anxiety and overthinking, this episode is equal parts banter and the group therapy session you didn't know you needed. Enjoy!

On this episode of Tea With Tay, Taymesan is joined by the firebrand singer with the most distinguished and cherubic voice; Simi. Born Simisola Ogunleye, over the years since she broke out with "Tiff", her name has become a household one, with her songs earning her a spot as a highly-loved act. Interestingly, despite Simi's sweetheart disposition, she's one singer who never shies away from saying things as it is, no matter who it is. This episode dives into that simply Simi trait and her unshakeable sense of self-validation by going back to the very beginning; her childhood while touching on her foray into music, her relationship with her mother and how her love story with Adekunle Gold started.
This episode contains exclusives on the album and helpful insights on building confidence in situations where you're uncertain so it's not only for fans but for everyone trying to be a better version of themselves.

On this episode of Tea With Tay, Taymesan is joined by Chinonso Egemba, a medical doctor who uses storytelling to educate Nigerians on health issues and goes by the alias "Aproko Doctor".
On the longest episode of Tea With Tay so far, we witness Aproko Doctor's riveting storytelling skills as he walks us through his childhood in Surulere (which for the larger part saw him help at his mom's roadside pap and akara business after a sad turn of events) as well as his uni days and how he had to do his first year twice. We are also painted a picture of the moment he had the epiphany on the lack of medical education in the country and how that had inspired who he is today; Aproko Doctor. Now an accomplished public figure, Aproko Doctor also lets us know it's still not always rosy as he tells stories of his great times and downsides of fame, how he met his wife and their life together and his experience dealing with a life-threatening tumour in his head.
Tea With Tay always comes with a sprinkle of Jesus and this episode comes with copious sprinkles as Aproko Doctor tells us about turning to God in face of his health issues and eventually developing a personal relationship with him.
This episode is worth the time for various reasons, sit tight and enjoy!

If you're familiar with the Flavour-sung chorus that goes "Africa rapper number one oo, MI microphone audition oh", then you're familiar with the artistry of Jude Abaga, popularly known as MI Abaga and self-adulatingly as Mr Incredible. Arguably lauded as the best hip-hop export out of Africa, Taymesan takes a seat with the iconic rapper for a refreshing reverie on his childhood days in Jos, growing up as the first son to an evangelist and his very first time coming across what would become part and parcel of him; Hip-hop.
For MI, hard work and diligence are the surest paths to success no matter how humble the job is. He highlighted how this had been a narrative for him from his childhood to his days at an American college where he moonlighted as a music producer, dancer, coordinator of an acapella gospel group while doing odd maintenance jobs from grass cutting to mopping floors to get by. Ironically but also as expected, MI's grades did not see the better end of his diligence as he paid more attention to his passion; music. Eventually, due to the high cost of tuition, MI had to withdraw from the college-- his second botched attempt at getting a uni degree. This however did not deter him for too long as he recouped in Nigeria, working diligently at low-paying jobs before music came to his rescue.
On this episode, MI paints a picture of hard work meeting success as he recalls being the first musician from Jos to win a Headies award in a rap category, we're also told about his Chocolate City days, both as a rapper and an exec and how he was able to uplift rappers and musicians in his circle. Things take a softer rose-tinged turn at the marriage arc as MI narrates meeting Eniola Mafe, who's now been his wife for a year. A deeply passionate rapper, he not only shares the painstaking process behind his lyricism but also speaks on his legacy and creative agency, TASCK.
It is said that he who is faithful in little is faithful in much and through MI's story, this episode is proof of that. You should definitely listen. Enjoy!

On this episode of Tea With Tay, Taymesan is joined by Afrobeats star, Mayorkun who despite having several hits to his name has zero scandals. But before they go down limelight avenue, we take a look at Mayorkun's childhood with two artistic parents to meet Mayowa Adewale, the boy before the superstar.
Mayorkun also shares about his banking history and how despite the tedium of his bank job, he still held on to his love for music, writing verses as a comforter till fortune smiled on him following a cover he made to Davido's "Daddy Mi". From that moment on, he'd put out hits upon hits and become a music industry fave as a DMW flag bearer and even after departure from the label.
Coming on the heels of his latest body of work, an EP titled "Love For Free", Mayorkun also speaks on the inspiration for his project which includes heartbreak and recent realisations on the concept of love.
This episode is fun and gives insight into Mayorkun's life before fame and lifestyle as the Mayor Of Lagos.
