Despite the fact that the interview offered a rare glimpse into Ebuka Obi-Uchendu’s personal life, netizens were more concerned about something else.

Majority of the commenters seemed irritated with Maria Chike’s method of interviewing guests, with emphasis on the view that she talks over her guests.

Only a handful of comments didn’t criticize Maria Chike’s ability to host an interview, because they were truly invested in what Ebuka’s wife had to say.

Here are some of the comments;

dey hard una. Chude is a pure journalist, never overlaps audio, never wants to take the shine because it is already his platform,
will ask constructive questions and allow you walk through the journey of the entire show. This right here is just not journalism”
