Did anyone noticed one thing about Daddy Showkey? He remember every details of events of the past even it happened over 40 years ago. He remembers day,dates,location and even dialogues that took place many many years ago. So the F9 parallel was just situational he is super smart.

As an Ajegunle boy growing up in the 80s everything this man said is confirmed, even when we enter university, we were not comfortable to tell people where we are from because of the Ajegunle stigma. But we rise to the occasion

You’re absolutely correct💯 Everything he said is correct💯 Only a true Ajegunle brought up would know all of this.

I was born and raised in Ajegunle and lived very close to where Daddy Showkey stayed. I saw Daddy Showkey every day from my childhood until today. Baba always comes to Ego Bar on Mission Street, off Orodu Lane. Everything Daddy Showkey has said is confirmed. I have been working on writing a story about our beloved AJ City, which will be introduced to Daddy Showkey himself and everyone involved when the job is done. Best wishes.

The Ajegunle stigma. I experienced this first hand. When i used to go to The British Council, those of us from Ajegunle were given a separate place to sit. As a kid, I'm glad, to have always met Daddy Showkey many times on my way to choir practice and also watch him perform for us then. Man loves kids a lot. We used to shout "show key, show key" excitedly and follow him whenever we see him.🤣🤣 and baba no dey pursue us. He was always relating with us very well.

[@uanoruo]

This is one of the most outstanding, if not the BEST "The Honest Bunch," episodes. I'm a silent but ardent social listener who crawls through social media but does not make comments. The content of this episode has made me break that code - for the very first time. Firstly, I wish to commend the team for the quality of guests on your podcasts, the research that goes into every episode, and the quality of conversations. I'm even more awed by the personality of Daddy Showkey - his life journey, his perspectives. philosophy and his lingo!!! His Street Credibility is so down-to-earth, authentic, and fresh. The current and potential value and impact of his journey and this episode is in a zillion-fold as it is time-less. Great work, guys and gals!!!❤🎉

[@yoursjeffery]

Daddy showkey narrated those criminal acts instances with the clear conscience that he wasn't in the know that those instances were indeed a "crime". More reasons why kids who grow up to become hardened criminal continuously lives in denial without a heart of repentance. He wants us to understand that a minor indulging in crime shouldn't be tagged criminals. They are most times a testimony of bad parenting or products of lack in all ramifications. Those kids indulge in those criminal acts since they only want to survive. Funnily, they are still criminals but we all need not ostracize them, but rather let them know the ills of not putting a halt to those little unconscious criminal act while helping them nurture their innate potentials with show of love, care and kind guidance. This is the reason why Daddy showkey can never forget the impact of that Police officer he mentioned.

[@johnwik6025]

50years plus and looking like someone in his thirties kept me fascinating every time I set my eyes on daddy Showkey.

[@gospelmartins773]

I'm telling you! No grey! He looks younger than his age.

Kongis! Kongis used to be the survival of youths in Lagos as far back as 90s, especially in Ajegunle. Tolu School Complex has up to 18 secondary schools and about 3 primary schools. What a memory. I leant so much from this episode and it reminds me so much of my childhood in Ajegunle. Daddy Showkey, thank you baba.

Years ago, I met Daddy Showkey at Niger Delta Kitchen in Abuja. It was a memorable day for me. He told us a story about his attempt to stowaway to Europe but somehow missed the ship. Those that left have never been seen or heard about since they left. That was another way he escaped death or disappearance.
