In this unforgettable episode of That’s My Time, I sit down with my personal hero and early inspiration, SLK — Olu Salako Blessing — the first Nigerian comedian to land a solo Netflix special, “Teetotaler.” SLK is not just a stand-up comedian — he’s a writer, actor, satirist, and a voice for a new generation of Nigerian storytellers who are unapologetically blazing their own trail.
But behind the glory is a story of pain, passion, and persistence.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:
🔹 Comedy as Calling – Why SLK believes stand-up comedy is as spiritual and purpose-driven as preaching.
🔹 The Theatre in His Blood – Growing up in a family with deep roots in stage performance and how early exposure to humour shaped his path.
🔹 Secondary School Days – The notebooks full of jokes, writing “making people laugh” as a hobby, and the first spark of comedy.
🔹 Covenant University Era – Meeting future comedy legends like EmmaOhMaGod, DeeOne, and Ebiye. How Mojibade show was the spark, and why SLK was the reason I chose Covenant.
🔹 Academic Collapse – Losing focus after joining a drama group, chasing gigs while grades crashed, and writing jokes on an exam answer sheet.
🔹 Painful Moments – A lecturer slapping a friend for choosing SLK as a mentor. Another one asking, “Why are you wasting your parents’ money?”
🔹 Family Struggles – Begging his mother for transport to Lagos gigs, while his father believed he was throwing his life away.
🔹 Divine Encouragement – The words from a Bishop that kept him going, even when everything looked like failure.
🔹 The Industry Talk – What happened to Nigerian stand-up comedy? Why did it fade, and what does the future look like?
🔹 Legacy Work – Creating Teetotaler, Nigeria’s first Netflix comedy special, and the message behind the name.
🔹 Contentment & Clarity – Why being grounded is more important than being famous.
🔹 Top 5 Nigerian Comedians of All Time – And why.
This isn’t just a funny conversation. It’s a brutally honest, soul-searching journey through failure, faith, pressure, purpose, and what it takes to break barriers in the Nigerian creative space.
Whether you’re a student torn between passion and expectations, a parent trying to understand your child’s dream, or a young creative just trying to figure it out — this episode will hit you hard and stay with you longer.

🎙️ Welcome to Season 2 of That’s My Time — the podcast where unfiltered truth meets real-life faith. Hosted by Nigerian media producer and storyteller Tolu Afilaka, this space offers bold, vulnerable conversations for healing, clarity, and spiritual connection. It’s a sacred space for believers, seekers, and skeptics exploring what it means to walk with God in an age of distraction and confusion.
In this powerful premiere, Tolu is joined by Joshua Tanimowo, Faithful Ifedolapo, and Iffy for a soul-stirring, heart-opening conversation that goes beyond church clichés and dives into real spiritual identity.
🌍 From Lagos to the world, this episode invites you into deep waters:
🕊️ What happens when you speak in tongues at 11 but only encounter Jesus later?
💭 Is there a difference between “giving your life to Christ” and receiving His life?
🙇🏽♀️ How do you handle God’s silence, or when He feels unfair?
🧠 Can young believers reconcile African traditions, superstition & biblical truth?
📖 How do we rightly divide the Word in a digital age of noise & shallow theology?
You’ll hear:
Personal encounters with Jesus that broke religion and birthed real relationshipWhy many Gen Z Christians feel spiritually exhausted without true discipleshipHow church hurt, false teachings, and confusion around tithing impact faithThe emotional toll of disappointment — and how God still shows upFaithful’s raw testimony of desperation, silence, and God’s mercyA deep dive into misunderstood Bible characters like Rahab & DavidWhy the Holy Spirit is more than tongues — it’s daily intimacyWhether God is “partial” and how grace works alongside chasteningThe call for sound doctrine in a world of preachers and hot takesWhy purpose often emerges through pain — not prosperityThis isn’t just another episode — it’s a prophetic conversation for a generation craving more than religion. Whether you're deep in church, deconstructing, or just curious — this episode will meet you where you are.
🌟 Come for the stories. Stay for the truth. Leave with a renewed perspective on God.
