Ex-Beauty queen, and mother of two, Nike Oshinowo who we
told you will be starting a late night talk show soon, has opened up to City
People about the show and what you should expect from it. Nike also hinted that
it was the show and motherhood that has made her quiet for a while now. Quite
an interesting interview, love every bit of her response. Enjoy!
You have been off the social scene for a while. How has life
been?
been?
Life has been very busy. I have been incubating a show and
it has come to fruition. I don’t know how you’re supposed to do that and still
be a social butterfly. If you guys think I have been quiet, that is why, I’ve
been working hard and the hard work is times two, coupled with motherhood. Continue below…

How does it feel being a mum?
It’s an amazing blessing, you watch them every day and see
what God has done in your life it’s quite amazing.

What exactly do you intend to achieve with your new show,
Late Night with Nike Oshinowo?
Late Night with Nike Oshinowo?
I want to be able to reach out to you, Funmi. I want that
once you’ve finished your work and get home, you shower, you eat, watch the
show and then the next morning, email me saying “Thank you Nike, for a wonderful
show yesterday, you helped me unwind and fall asleep in a pleasurable manner”.
Then I would have succeeded. Do you know how many of you there are in Nigeria?
Because if I have to think, you’re probably what, 30 years old? So, really you
are 60% of our population. You’re a female, 30% of our population is you. If
30% of 120 million people watch my show and are happy so what else am I looking
for? It means then that I have the biggest hit show in the world. So really
what do I want from this show, I want you to love it, watch it and tell me
about it. That’s what I want. If you’re not watching for the content, for my
hair or make or even the celebrities, you need to watch it for the outfits, the
wardrobe is amazing.

Who will you feature first?
(Laughs) You should have put me in a room one on one without
my General Manager and I might be able to tell. But if I do, she won’t pay my
salary. But let me tell you that every single show will have the same format,
so if it’s going to be a politician we’re interviewing, it will have music, it
will have comedy, it will have art-in the same show, every week. So it’s that
same equation and we just change the people. What you need to do right now is
what’s happening right now that’s most relevant? That’s Number 1. Question
number 2, who are the most relevant people? Question number 3, are they
interesting enough to come on the show? If I were you, I literally will be able
to fill in those names immediately.
