Ebuka Obi-Uchendu is the new host of TV talkshow, Rubbing Minds

Just in time for the New Year, the producers of Rubbin’ Minds, the influential TV talk-show for young Nigerians have announced major upgrades.

The first change to the show is the announcement of a new host: the lawyer on-air personality and event compere, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.  Obi-Uchendu, who holds two Masters degrees in Intellectual Property as well as Communications Law both from the American University, Washington DC takes over the presenter’s show on the first show of the year – Sunday, 6 January, 2013.

Obi-Uchendu will be joining the show along with a new set, and new segments on the show – broken into news analysis, discussion and culture interview.


“Obi-Uchendu has been an influential voice for young people across issues – from pop culture to politics – over the past few years,” Williams explained. “As an issues columnist on Thisday Newspapers, anchoring the country’s first youth-centred Presidential Debate, writing for the YNaija FrontPage and for Leadership, amongs others. He mirrors the ‘Rubbin’ Minds prime position as the conversation driver for young people nationally, and he will be an effective face and voice for that imperative.”

“I am very excited to be joining the A-team at Rubbin' Minds,” Obi-Uchendu said. “This is the show to be on to know what young people are talking and thinking about at any time. If it’s real and if it’s topical and it concerns young people, we will be discussing it, and I look forward to that ongoing conversation.”

Rubbin’ Minds is a production of Y! TV. More information is available on www.ynaija.com, and on Twitter @YNaijaTV. The official website for the TV show will be unveiled at www.ynaija.com/tv on 11 January, 2013.

Go on a prayer and fasting session,esp now dat its new year,gud timing,join ur church fasting and tell God everyting,its an evil spirit!
U should engage in activities that will take ur time and distract u.
Avoid pornography and guide ur tots.

Michelle said...

Seriously, Ebuka is good at what he does coupled with the fact that he's got good looks.
Its not for nothing that they named him among the 10 Most Kissable Celebrities in Nigeria. Check it out here

Please see a good pastor, such is a sin and you need spiritual consel to overcome.on a more serious note is something you can not do on your own- so seek holy spirit through a man of God. I wish u all de best.

I have said this before! And I will say it again. I think I said it in 2010 my aunty Linda + Uncle Ebuka = Perfection. But I think she's richer than him now, this might affect the equilibrium I had envisioned. *sigh* if only they had started from when she was still struggling. Well why am I here chopping panadol for linlin when I haven't found mine? *logs off*

Linda is he single?

What you need is to take notE of those things that arouse those feelings in you(even naija homevids n musicvids can be classified as soft porn)also check if there are certain situations u put yourself in that makes it inevitable. If you are employed get busy with work(but not to the point of exhaustionion oh, the ide is just to occupy yourself...an idle mind...). Meditate on The Word so your mind doesnt get polluted. Remember you dont just start suddenly, it is usually triggered by a thought, a pic, video or whatever. Treat urself like a diabetic avoiding sugar. I pray u get ova it

most of these celebrities, TV presenters and showbiz guys are bisexuals.

They call it down-low.

They might have gfs, wives and kids but still meet guys in the closet, the earlier u LIBers accept them as they are, the beta for you.

You can only get the real gist when you have a close pal that works with these so called showbiz guys.
