This episode of What is Your Story?—Nigeria’s best storytelling podcast—is spoken entirely in Yoruba Language.
On today's episode, Idris shares the story of how he started his journey from Ogun State to Lagos State as a mechanic. His story as a mechanic begins when he had to drop out of primary school after his parents divorced. He shares various parts of his life's journey with us, like how he worked under a tyrant boss, met his best friends—Abdullahi and Akanni, and how he eventually lost one of them to suicide. Idris' story is one of determination and grit, and we hope that you enjoy listening to his story.
What Is Your Story? celebrates individuality through powerful personal narratives. Each episode gives our guests the space to reflect on the defining moments that shaped them—emotionally, socially, culturally, and professionally.
