Femi, you’re a star, you remain a star in our eyes!!!! Many of us came to the US worked humbling jobs for short years as we found our feet here and today we live a much more comfortable life. I know a cousin who was squatting with his wife and kids in another cousins guest room for 2years today he owns multimillion dollar clinics and properties just 13 years later in the same Texas. Your story will be better than that by His Grace

you NEED a GODLY Wife, so many women have divorced their husbands in the US , put them on child support, take their house and more than half of their money ...Nigerian Women in US can be BAD!!! or Good ooo

Nigerians that has family that’s still struggling abroad really needs to watch this, No matter how much you share your experience they just don’t get it.

I barely listen to lengthy interviews, but this got me stuck to my phone till the very end. Learnt many lessons here, firstly, put God in everything and anything you do. A good wife is a treasure! Kudos Teju

Femi Brainard is so humble. I love the way he speaks. I learn something whenever I tune in. This show is so authentic. Uncle Teju, you just won yourself an extra subscriber 🧡

The level of vulnerability maintained by every guest on this show tells a lot about how the authenticity of this show! Very seasoned host and guests! Great job Teju.

You are absolutely correct. One of the best authentic shows I have ever watched. The realness of the guests is profound.

I terribly miss seeing Femi Brainard on screen but guess what... you will always be a 🌟 sir!

Teju Baby Face is a great person himself, an all rounder in everything. Apart from being respectful, he can dance very well and does outstanding presentations. A surely smart man! Femi Brainard, you are also a good looking celebrity with great contributions to our community. You can always still perform anytime and anywhere, your gift is inborn. Thank God for your migration to the USA at the right time, for your children! May God bless all the people that He raised to assist your family at the time of your needs.

Humm🤔Well done bro Femi💪🏾 See awa omo alade running away from our country to seek safe haven in another country just because of what those useless naija politicians have subjected us to🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️it shall NEVER be well with Naija politicians🖕🏽Great job Teju👍🏾

Happy to see Femi Brainard on your show❤❤❤. Thanks, Teju for bringing him

Teju this episode kept me awake till midnight. Thanks for the show. Rgds to Femi and Uche. Nigeria will be good again.

That was the best interview that is highlighting realistic truths about America. Love from Philadephia Pennsylvania.

Egbon Teju has been so inspiring with his educative and enlightening interviews , I am privilege to watch this here in Nigeria. Our decision has been made . Yankee I am coming by God’s grace.

Thank you so much Teju for this interview, thank you.

Teju baby face,you are still my best,tnx for bringing Femi Brainard,i miss you both on screen,this is unscripted,I understand and feel you perfectly,ologbon lo le ye,hmmm coded yet down to earth,God bless you my guy,heaven is the limit,more grace,I hope ti see you in screen again someday soon

Right from the first day i saw him on TV, i always know that he is a humble and an intelligent being. His interview confirmed this. Respect to you Mr Femi and Mr Teju.

Nice work Teju, go for it! Brainard, thanks for keeping it real.... please keep trusting in the LORD, alone! Diaspora na different ball game sha. Hope Femi is aware that his face hasn't changed much but for the fuller eki and complexion ...you both have babyface 😊 Truly, Femi likes public transport....I remember commuting with 2 Femis - Brainard and Black from Yaba to Campus inside shuttle bus. More grace, fellow great Akokites!

Good Lord! I totally forgot this man Femi. Wow! Thank you Tẹjú for not letting this one lost forever in my history! How many more are missing that we are yet to discover?!

Nice to see Femj Brainard after such a long time such a good actor.

Finally I get to hear from people of like minds! God bless you for keeping it so real. I must go back and read the story of the children of Israel. I have always said it, don't think when you get there, things will just fall in place straight up, it's a process! Thanks for this time

I enjoyed every bit of this interview, i could easily relate because i and my family Jakpaed, it takes the grace of God to find your feet. Keep fighting folks, there's light at the end of a tunnel

I enjoyed every moment of that interview. Even if you don't live in abroad, as long as you travelled overseas, you'll understand what he said. I've travelled several times and I do understand. Thanks Teju for doing this and for Femi for being this vulnerable. Gid bless.

I remember this particular show he talked about, I was still in primary school. Such nostalgic moments 😊

Thank you for speaking the Truth, Mr Femi Brainard. You are still a Star, hardworking and realistic.

Superb interview as always by Teju Babyface with Femi Brainard, accomplished actor and communicator. Liked Femi's relaxed style as he kept it 100% real, not allowing any (Yoruba) "omo ni'bi ni'ran" nonsense to hold him back from getting on with the job at hand. Kudos! There are various stages in life ...and different strokes for different folks.

What a similar situation I'm currently going through here in Germany😢😢😢 In everything I'm still thanking God

Who are they? The problem is Blacks always feel there's something there always, they refuse to think in depth are they're in West, they lack innovations and inventions sadly they failed to see they're existing in an unorganised society the with no structure. This is why I see that Thomas Jefferson, David Hume, Abraham Lincoln are right about Blacks, son of Noah!🎉

Hnmmmmm, our politicians are succeeding in driving nobles and king's from the land, we must start looking for a way out otherwise, our children will never know their roots and will join several diasporas who will always miss home. I know femi back in the days. This is why I tell people do not let's vote again cos no body can save Nigeria

Naija may not be as rosy as we desire but I still believe a star actor like Femi had better opportunities here than abroad. For the children's sake, he could have relocated the family and then return later to continue his acting profession. For a top actor, there is the opportunity for brand ambassadorship for significant additional income. And who says he couldn't have risen to producing his own movies? A man's life requires constant appraisal and reappraisal to ensure one is taking the right steps. Perhaps there is more to his situation than he has revealed. I wish him the very best sha.

Thanks Femi, for being so down to earth, honest and humble. God bless you. Thanks Teju for your great show.

Wow! Quite insightful and instructive. Where things work you will be proud of whatever you do to earn a living.

Teju baby face would have been a good host for the family feud show in Nigeria. But she is good too❤️

Wooow i watched from the beginning to the end without standing up from my seat. He's so real, he knows what he wants and what is the best for himself and his family. Amazing

Good to see femi on here. Teju remember at HOF d guy his wife called to meet u d corridor?

It seems that during the interview, you were more inclined towards sharing anecdotes and stories of others rather than delving into your own experiences. This approach, while possibly engaging, can sometimes detract from the opportunity for us, as listeners, to learn from your personal journey. It appears that, as you hinted at the beginning, there might be a reluctance on your part to open up and share your own narrative, much like when you relocated to America without informing anyone. Teju attempted to steer the conversation towards your own experiences, yet you continued to recount stories about others, whether they were from your family, friends, or acquaintances. Consequently, I didn't have the chance to gain a deeper understanding of the authentic Femi Brainard. Sharing personal experiences can be daunting, but it's often through these narratives that we truly connect and learn from one another. Embracing vulnerability and openness in storytelling can enhance the richness of any conversation and allow others to relate to you on a more profound level. So, in future interactions, I encourage you to consider sharing more of your own experiences to foster a deeper connection with your audience.

So much exegesis and epistle written over the choice of a guest's medium of communication, or relating personal experiences. With due respect, you need to understand that it takes a lot to be vulnerable, and in dealing with personal issues in public domain, wisdom is most profitable to direct. At least he tried to be open to the best of his abilities, and that for me is just okay. We must not all be explicit with our own narratives, after all, no one can tell your story better than you. I want to humbly enjoin everyone to learn to accept people, as well as their unique stories just how they choose to present them. In all, it is well.

I see it as 👉 You lived one of the numerous roles in many movies in Nollywood Irony of Life

This life is really the more you look, the less you see. We looked at and admired these stars from far as they owned our screens. I have forgotten the title of the TV series on AIT (around 2000-2002) wherein he was part of a crime-fighting force. I could say the same for Wale Sango Adebayo when he did the Super Story series around 2004/2005 alongside Elvis Chuks and Kehinde Bankole. Little did we know that they were really fighting for survival and trying to make ends meet. Happy for those who made it out and are reaping the fruits of their efforts.

Wow😲 Fẹmi Brainard!!! ❤❤❤

Interesting interview. The Truth is "Life Is" it is neither good nor bad it is only that puny human mind that thinks that way.

That's true Uche of Top radio got married to Femi Brainard

He is a real star. These are the things some celebrities hide to fake their lives.

An emotional interview

Nothing wrong with this. The Uber guy who picked me to Heathrow works with Tesla

Life is journey, Humbleness is a key ❤

Very captivating interview

Till date, I still tell people that responding to greetings is a stress for me. so regardless of if you greet me or not, I am NOT bordered. Femi you are right no one owes other greetings.

Very emotional conversation

We are who we think we are...

IF you have family abroad you need to watch this ❤

Moluwe buses can be reinvented to curb transportation deficit in the country. It will be upgraded with high-quality materials that will be cheaper to maintain. It should be 100% made in Nigeria.

Even Nigerians know no Star too

Oju Eni ma la, a ri ........

This episode is worth a million dollars

wow, this is hillarious

Worthy discussion, but too many tangents, thus it throws a listener off.

I believe femi would have been really successful and more fulfilled assuming he remained in Nigeria, he would have done better than he is today. Its painful, People has really lost hope on Nigeria and they don't even mind loosing every good thing about their life in Nigeria which includes their purpose, dreams and what God called them to be in the name of greener pasture. We prefer to lose every good thing about us in a place God has originally created us to be and prefer to slave for the white in a foreign land cos i believe their are limits a black can get to. A well lived life isn't defined by materialism or wealth but its defined by the extent at which you've fulfilled the reason why you were in existence.

looool... Levi's are good genes

Acting is your gift. Many have fallen for the temptation of "greener pasture". I doubt if the pasture is really greener over there.

There are many other ways of doing a pose rather than at the back or front of the person , Teju hope you understand. Also Femi has added a lot oh. He looked better not too big but he still looks great though.

This was suppose to be one of the very best episodes considering the Guest you interviewed (FB) and also his story which unfortunately is that of most immigrants. However, being an immigrant myself living in Canada, i will submit that its one of your worst episodes so far. Just like a comedian on a comedy show, Your punchlines are what you use in capturing your audience and keep them yearning for more.. Your Guest starts a story line on a high and by the time we the audience are caught up and looking forward to where and how the story ended, he picks up another story along the way. Another thing i noticed was that, even with the microphone in front of him, he appears to be whispering all through the interview, i had to increase the volume tab on my laptop to 80% to hear him well. I have watched some of your episodes like three or four times because of how the Guest delivered on each issue he/she spoke about e.g. Mark Angel and Joseph Benjamin to mention a few. Simply put that this FB interview was just a thank you role call to all those that helped him settled quickly in the US period! I love his acting by the way.

Thank you Teju for the good work that you do. I struggled but just couldn’t resist the urge to comment on this episode of your interviews. Good to see bros again after a very long time and a lot has been learnt from this interview, as with all other interviews that you grant. However, bros needs to work on how he answers questions. I particularly do not like that he disclosed the current locations of his colleagues. People might prefer to do so themselves whenever they wish; and I feel like you should have cut out that part unless of course permission has been granted by those concerned. Overall, bros deflected a lot even when you tried on so many occasions to bring him back.
