“I don’t have a Nigerian passport cause if I walk into any embassy I’ll be arrested” -David Hundeyin

- He has been called the most feared journalist in Nigeria - and the price he has had to pay for that has been to flee his country, to live as a fugitive in several African countries since 2020 and to have no Nigerian pastor because he says he will be arrested if he visits any Nigerian embassy abroad.
But to what end? He called Bola Tinubu a drug baron, but he is still the president, Nasco is still in business, Flutterwave is winning awards, and Issa Patami is a free man. Has it all been worth it?
He says yes, even as he has to moved to the United Kingdom to, as he tells me exclusively, start a new chapter in his life as a ‘tech bro’.
In this exclusive interview, his first physical sit down on national television, he tells me why he has paid the price he has paid, what life is exile has been like, how he has survived financially, his new book and why he says that era of journalism for him has ended.

Someday David Hundeyin and people who genuinely mean well for this country will be able to come home and live in peace
No be by mouth
@@doyin40No be by mouth but by the grace of God, and since you did not believe in it or agree with it you'll not witness it thus says the Lord
if they are still interested.
After criticising ipob and mnk, he's now facing similar problem, goat.
@@doyin40This kind of thought is the reason you now lead by looters. They will return!
This is one of the "TRUE" heroes of Nigeria.
Do you actually know the meaning of "heroes" ?
Tell me what exactly he did to qualify him as one?
This guy is obviously intelligent. Like he said, Nigeria is not ready for truth.
I agree, but the fact that somebody is intelligent doesn't make their statements all true. He could be lying, you know.
@BoluwatifeOlajide do your own research on him. Please tell me why would someone be excelled from his own country. He was married with a child, he probably has not seen that child since he left Nigeria due to his own safety and the safety of his family. He cannot safe in one city for too long. To stop anyone tracking his location 🙄 You still think he is lying 🤥
@patsyowoh9023 I wanted to take you seriously, then I saw how you spelt "exiled" and it's peace from here. Tori, where do I start explaining from?
Thank you David Hundeyin for all the sacrifices you've been rendering to the people of Nigeria.
I love that he always has a smirk/smile on his face. Solid guy.
I know right 😂😂😂
David Hundeyin has itched his name in the history of Nigeria as a man of truth.
You're a monument, a hero 👏🏽
*etched. Abeg, no vex, I just couldn't let it slide.
@@illitrait thank you
ITK
@@kenojokojiHe said “no vex”
@@Aimtubr And I no vex, I just hale am
@@kenojokoji What is “ITK”? Am I interpreting that wrong? 😂😂
David is a rare gem. 💎
This man here, and Peter Obi are two of the reasons I still have any believe in Nigeria
David, you are a hero. Thanks for the fight for good government in your country.
Congratulations David on ur new book launch
He David hundeyin does not sound nigerian very objective analytical rational and truthful these qualities are rare in Nigeria
Thank you david Hundeyin for all you do, just keep exposing them.
Our prayers are with you David
This young man is another famous hero of the Nigerian people if not the most. May I here also register my unflinching appreciation to you David.
Respect, David! I admire your guts. 🫡
This is the very educated version of VeryDarkMan
Highly underrated comment 😂
Shots fired....ahn ahn
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
David, you were created for this. Live well my dearest Brother. May God keep you.
Thank you David for all you do
I love the fluidity of his words. Very intelligent and bold man. May your days be long
Buy his book people!
I really admire this guy, David Hundeyin. How can one get a copy of his book?
This dude is brilliant! Thank God I am following him
I love David button 👍
100% worth it. This is the singular greatest issue we have in Nigeria…..thinking freedom is about stolen wealth. So, Was Mandela’s 27 year jail term worth? May not have been worth it to his immediate family at the time but look the millions of South African that now boasts of true freedom.
Wise man...love u bro
God be with you David.
Thank you David 🎉🎉🎉
David Hundeyin the great
David is quote inspirational.
You are my mentor
Thank you for telling the Nigerian story to us as well
Thanks to this young man, history will definitely remember you for good in Nigeria, for every achievement there's always a price to pay, in this case you're paying the price of truth, Jesus pay the ultimate price to obtained a name that is above all name.
Your sacrifice will not be in vain. The wind of change is blowing over Nigeria and it will sweep away those who opposed the truth that are in power, and all charges against you will be erase and you will be home at any time you wish. May God bless you and Nigeria.🙏
A resounding Amen ❤❤❤
I've always had great respect for David Hundeyin. He remains one of the greatest investigative journalists. We continue to hope in all hopelessness for justice to prevail in Nigeria.
Chude, I love your channel but to ask if "being exiled worth it?" is a bizarre question. People are after this man's LIFE! Not his wealth, not his home, his LIFE something that is not replaceable. Why? Because he is exposing many evils that are happening globally with specific reference to Nigeria. There are several Nigerians who are not in Mr Hundeyin's predicament that are fleeing Nigeria in their droves, let alone him who has threats to his life. I wish him the best.
It’s not bizarre. It simply means is being on exile worth the struggle he has chose to be.
I don’t think Chude asked if being exiled is worth it, I understand he asked if what David is fighting for is worth it and that’s a very fair and reasonable question
You don't really get it, do you ?
@@Speedyvampir2 like @Raetalkss said. There many citizens who have indirectly exiled themselves from the country in search for a better life because of how hopeless the situation of the country is.
You just gained a new subscriber for interviewing Mr David
Lovely interview
I must get this book😁
National Hero when Nigeria 🇳🇬 is reborn under a God fearing leadership.
So intelligent
Reading some of the comments its no wonder we are where we are as a country .
Who doesn't know this man received threats to his life ?
There is a reason why we don't have enough investigative journalists in this country . We see the work of Fisayo Soyombo on smuggling , has anything been done . David may have flaws but he is definitely good at his job .
For those asking of his sexual orientation . I can only assume your asking because your interested in him .
All i can say is we deserve the leaders we have in this country called Nigeria . As long as tribe and religion remain the main stay of what determines ho can take our country forward we will forever be a caricature of a state with so much unfulfilled potential .
The truth can't be hidden away for soooooo long 😮
The answers to questions must be valid,reliable and clear
Nigerians have suffered for so long such that when they see anything that seems to point to hope and give hope for a better tomorrow they will cling on to it . I pray that God will use people like this to help change our nation m and our perspectives to unrighteousness
This guy is a rare breed.
this brother ohhh.. i will never forget him .. david i just remember before elections he did so long documentary or history abt the drug dealer and all implications of islamic parties in Nigeria gvt.. keep up bro.. normally this kind of investigation journalism should be approach and help us disvover criminals and flames blazing our countries.. sad Africa 😢🎉 keep it Dav❤
Book Title
The Jungle: A Personal Journey with the Enfant Terrible of Nigerian Journalism
This one is Breaking Point, not The Jungle
What's the title of the book and where can we order it.
Thanks for all that you are doing
Wow !
Thank you David… Soon you will be back home
Solid guy
If Nigeria youths are following what Davd is doing by now, we will have a different country, but they're busy chasing the irrelevant stuff on social media. God bless and protect you, David 🙏
Where to find his book?
Long live David.....
How can we get the book?
David needs to be protected at all cost
Hmmm !
It is well o
Please where can I get this book
How do i get this book in question.
Never see a more courageous man.
Genius man
What's the title of the book
How do I buy the book please
Oh boy !
Very intelligent guy
David God will continue to protect you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you've done alot for this country
David H., it might not look good today but some day you will surely reap the genuine reward of your works today. Just be PATIENT...
Truly, nothing ever happens in Nigeria. That's why known criminals keep ruling us.
This guy called David Hundeyin doesn't belong to an insane country named Nigeria. This is the second time am listening to the story of his uncle who threatened him @ a family party in Badagry & trust me, the story match up . Line for line , word for word. No add up & no substraction & what that means is that he is practically telling the truth because liars are never consistent with their stories. They will sure mix it up.
Sharrrrrrp guy. Very possible for him to lead the country in the future. Mark my words.
David you are a great man you will certainly walk the streets of Nigeria some day some time, it will be like the story of king Herod in the bible who was chasing to kill baby Jesus at the end king Herod gave way for baby Jesus to return home, you will come back home they who chases you will give way and we shall see them no more soon.
David Hundeyin is a man who means well for Nigeria, but Nigeria is not ready for the truth. But one day very soon, that truth can no longer be suppressed..
What is the nmae of the book please
The Jungle: A Personal Journey with the Enfant Terrible of Nigerian Journalism
I think the criminal gangs leading Nigeria today are fully aware that David Hundeyin has gone very far ahead of them and their smartness.
Little wonder they are now trying to label him gay. Whether gay or not, David Hundeyin remains a star that shines out darkness, not only in Nigeria, but across the globe.
Keep rising, David. We got your back here in the United States.
From your dire hard buddy, the blind justice chukwu.
Please name of the book please…..
Breaking Point
People got to start standing up against corruption no matter where it’s at if they ever want a change for the better future for your children
God bless you ABUNDANTLY...My sentiments exactly.
Most honest people living in Nigeria know that they have all been COMPROMISED....My prayers are with all who have chosen to live in exile/Diaspora inoder to SPEAK OUT and remain ALIVE..May God continue to protect them all. And for those who are calling you a Fake, we hope "Nigeria" does not happen to them sooner than they think.
One huge question I'm even trying to find answers to is that, sometimes, the so called "ordinary Nigerians" that some of these big names are fighting for, are Nigerians even worth fighting for???
DH is the most investigative and most intelligent journalist of this time in Nigeria with vast knowledge and highly resourceful with facts cum information
Please the title of his book
I think it's called Breaking point
😊😊
But why would they stop David from noving freely in Nigeria? Thats sad. Anyway I think his life is more on the line than his Citizenship sef.
😍😍
…although I am still trying to understand how the title of ”Dr” came to appear before Onyeka Nwelue's name. Oh! Sorry, he is an honorary doctor- maybe.
He is intelligent and smart and brave and bold!
Sunny Ade: "won lomo de 'o mela. Olohun mela kata kata. Lai mo pe ela kata oh, oba iya ni" 🎤🎸🎵🎧🎼. There is a level someone will get to in life and realize that life itself isn't fair. What is after 6 is more than 7. Time will tell. Time will tell.....🤔
It is so sad that a man has to flee his own country for baring his mind. Someday, those who truly love and care for Nigeria will be vindicated & feel safe enough to dwell in the land.
when Peter becomes president, you'll be free my brother.
Appreciate your work but....OMG we have fibre cuts all the time ooo. Fibre in Nigeria are not in well defined routes like we have abroad that's exactly why the problem is so rampant. For example some random chap building a house trying to create access to a main road for trucks to his site can accidentally cause a fibre cut. This was just sheer confidence abeg! Operator's lease fibre from themselves also, so a cut to one will usually affect many operators at the same time. I worked in the industry for 20yrs! Highly improbable that it was deliberate sabotage!
And criminals walk freely...
My brother David, never regret doing what you did. Because of you, Nigerians now know that their illegitimate president was a drug lord. Don’t worry, one day, Tinubu will leave office. I pray he’s defeated in the next election. And when that happens, the president, hopefully PO will ensure that you return to your country safely. May God continue to protect you. Amen.
Please what does BHM mean?
BLACK HOUSE MEDIA... GOOGLE
David is indeed a man of honor. I like him
Read both books and Egbon David is way more than who he thinks he is.
David summed up Nigeria using the Kiki Mordi case
About the internet outage on October 20, 2020, weren't people streaming live from the massacre? DJ Switch and others were streaming live na, abi?
Book name please
The Jungle: A Personal Journey with the Enfant Terrible of Nigerian Journalism
@@ndubuisiijeh4471 thanks
This interviewer is "oloriburuku number one" by asking David if what he's doing is worth it or not?
I stay in the UK. How do I assess this book?
It's on Amazon
I feel his reason for 'leaving,' isn't solid. Sounds watery to me. Sorry.
We all allow rascality and innocent is been hunted, no one is spared, but at last there must be a new Nigeria moving forward.
one day, nigeria will get sense... maybe in 100 yrs
