“I Feel Like an Imposter” - Hauwa Opens Up About Her Success & Creativity

Guys, guess what I have with me in the studio? And I have to report her.

How I kept me waiting for an hour.

That's not true.

What? That's not true.

What? Okay, that's not true.

What? Yeah, it's not true.

So let's shed the blame.

Production takes half of the blame.

Because they told me that I had you at 12 o'clock.

And I'm so fascinated by this girl.

She probably doesn't believe this.

But the first question I wanted to ask you is what's the color of your problem? A lot.

I've been imagining it in my brain that actually I want to sit down with this girl and just ask her, what is the color of your problem? I

have a lot of issues.

We will get there.

And then they said 12 o'clock.

So this is me waking up very early.

I woke up to play tennis.

I finished playing tennis.

You see what I mean? I go home, got ready, spent some time with my daughter and out the door saying, I'm actually going to interview Howard today.

And then I got here and it was like an anti-climax.

I've been sat here like a jilted lover, literally waiting.

No, it's not my fault.

It's not my fault.

If I had money, I would not be late.

I promise you.

Because I feel like, you know where I'm living is far.

I'm not living in the middle.

I'm not living where

influencers are living.

Okay, but what is the color of your problem really?

A lot, a lot.

I mean, Nigeria is a lot.

You people are not seeing this country.

You people are seeing this country.

I think everybody can share in that sentiment.

Yes.

How do you get so genius to the point that you turn all of this actual worries and real life scenarios into content?

Because I feel like if we don't laugh, we're all mad.

Right? I feel like, you know, there are some problems you have.

You just start laughing.

Because like, if you don't laugh, and a lot of people, people always say, oh, Nigerians are not serious.

We make everything a joke.

But it's a survival tactic.

We're trying to survive out here.

And so for me, things will just happen and I'll be like, I have to laugh about it.

And you guys have to laugh about it.

And if we're laughing about it and, you know, it's turning into something bigger, then let's talk about it.

Let's...

Well done with turning it into something bigger.
