Curiosity Made Me Ask: When History Repeated Itself in 4 Bold Voices
<p>Flashback to a few weeks ago when I wrote my last TwoCents Insight on <em>Curiosity Made Me Ask</em>—I called it Nigeria’s very own version of <em>Between Two Ferns</em>. Turns out, I might have spoken too soon.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because 6 night ago (as of when this insight was published), <strong>Isbae_u</strong> did it again. The man just made <em>history</em>—and this time, I don’t say that lightly. What I watched deserves the kind of LinkedIn-style announcement people use when they get a promotion: “I’m thrilled to share that I just witnessed greatness.” 😹</p><p><br/></p><p>But let’s not rush. This latest episode? Easily the <strong>GOAT</strong> of <em>Curiosity Made Me Ask.</em> And for two solid reasons. Let’s take it piece by piece, shall we?</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_10.jpeg"/></p><h3>1. Four Actresses. One Mad Host. No Seatbelt Required.</h3><p><br/></p><p>First off, who in their right mind invites <strong>four actresses</strong>—not influencers, not random guests—<em>actresses</em>—to one show? That move alone was bold. These women have played every kind of character imaginable: angel, witch, village gossip, even spiritual wife. There’s nothing you can say that will shock them.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yet, BaeU called them all together for one explosive episode. That’s not bravery—that’s chaos with confidence.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_11.jpeg"/></p><h3>2. Kikie Took the Wheel (and Maybe the Mic)</h3><p><br/></p><p>Let’s be honest—this episode didn’t feel like the usual BaeU production. It was shot in <em>Kikie’s studio,</em> and rumor has it, she even organized the lineup. The whole setup had her fingerprints all over it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Still, credit where it’s due—BaeU remained the mastermind of the madness. The man decided to try something new, and <em>boom</em><em>!</em> jackpot.</p><p><br/></p><p>By the time I caught the video around 11 p.m., it already had <strong>145,000 views</strong>—in under five hours. I don’t think any episode has climbed that fast before.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_12.jpeg"/></p><h3>3. Yoruba People, Please Translate</h3><p><br/></p><p>If you understand Yoruba, you probably laughed until your ribs begged for mercy. If you don’t? My condolences. You’ll need subtitles, a Yoruba auntie, and possibly Google Translate to survive the inside jokes.</p><p><br/></p><p>This episode was layered—comedy, culture, and coded gbas gbos all in one.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/what-did-you-just-say.jpeg"/></p><h3>4. The Nickname Festival</h3><p><br/></p><p>Now to the real star of the show: BaeU’s nicknames. My guy went full freestyle:</p><p><br/></p><p></p><ul><li><strong>Bisola</strong> – “BBN”</li><li><strong>Kikie</strong> – “Tall for Nothing”</li><li><strong>Bolaji</strong> – “YouTube / Kisser”</li><li><strong>Wunmi</strong> – “African Magic” (and yes, that one <em>pained</em> her 😹)</li></ul><p></p><p><br/></p><p>That last nickname? Legendary. Wunmi’s reaction was the moment BaeU—who usually never laughs—finally broke character. Her annoyance was so real it cracked him. That alone was worth the watch.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Bisola-Aiyeola1.jpg"/></p><h3>5. A Dash of Tension</h3><p><br/></p><p>There was one tiny moment that caught my attention. When BaeU said to Bisola, “<em>I’ve always seen you as high, but from today eh…</em>” before Kikie quickly interrupted. Everyone laughed it off, but sharp-eyed viewers caught the flicker of tension. It added a little spice to the laughter.</p><p><br/></p><p>And by the way, Bisola’s sharp mouth deserves an award. The way she blended Yoruba and English like a fencing duel—effortless. Only Bolaji escaped the full force, maybe because of that <em>little crush energy </em>we all sensed. 😏</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_14.jpeg"/></p><h3>6. Plot Twist: The Man Is Married</h3><p><br/></p><p>Now to reason number two why this episode deserves the GOAT crown:</p><p>We found out <strong>BaeU is marrie</strong><strong>d</strong>.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yes. Married.</p><p>No teaser. No build-up. Just boom—revelation. I had to pause and replay. That single moment shocked viewers more than any punchline in the episode.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Ginger-official-poster-2025-Nollywire.jpg"/></p><h3>7. Ginger and the Promo That Worked</h3><p><br/></p><p>Somewhere between the jokes and chaos, they talked about the new movie <em>Ginger</em>—and somehow, BaeU turned that conversation into perfect promo. Everyone watching now wants to see it. Mission accomplished, Chief Content Officer.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><h3>Final Thoughts</h3><p><br/></p><p>So yes, shout-out to BaeU once again. History has smiled on him twice. This episode was not just funny—it was cultural, chaotic, and downright brilliant.</p><p><br/></p><p>And if you missed it? Please, go catch up. Preferably with a Yoruba friend on standby for live translation. 😹</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_13.jpeg"/></p><p>As always, thank you for <strong><em>reading</em></strong> and <strong><em>engaging</em></strong> with my Insights on TwoCents. ✍🏿</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>TwoCents Takeaway:</strong></p><p>I'd really like to hear/read your TwoCents Takeaway. Kindly drop them in the comment section and let's discuss. Cheers!</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>

Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.

Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
