“Obi-Uchendu has been an influential voice for young people across issues – from pop culture to politics – over the past few years,” Williams explained. “As an issues columnist on Thisday Newspapers, anchoring the country’s first youth-centred Presidential Debate, writing for the YNaija FrontPage and for Leadership, amongst others. He mirrors the ‘Rubbin’ Minds prime position as the conversation driver for young people nationally, and he will be an effective face and voice for that imperative.”

Obi-Uchendu will be joining the show along with a new set, and new segments on the show – broken into news analysis, discussion and culture interview.

If it’s real and if it’s topical and it concerns young people, we will be discussing it, and I look forward to that ongoing conversation.”
