Beyond his accolades and giant strides, there was a time Teju babyface almost gave up on his entertainment career. His acclaimed talk-show, Teju babyface show was the idea that transformed his career.

According to him: “As long as you have no ‘alternatives’, a way will open for you just because it must. When all your eggs are in one basket ,you are likely to handle that basket with utmost care. Many times, I would have given up on The Teju babyface Show, but in my mind’s eye, I had no other viable alternative.
I remember telling people that “If the idea for this show does not work, na the end of my entertainment career be dat o.”
Truly, at the time we decided to do that show , it was my last toss of the dice . If it didn’t work, I could literally see no other alternatives for myself in the entertainment industry.I put everything I had into it. It just had to work.”
