Nigeria’s award winning television producer and talk show host Funmi Iyanda returns to the silver screen with her highly anticipated television show Talk With Funmi. This groundbreaking television  program will premiere exclusively on DSTV’s Africa Magic on Sunday February 7^th, 2010 at 7pm.

Talk With Funmi is an exciting new television show that captures people and conversations around Nigeria. It is a thought provoking, illuminating and entertaining journey into the life of Nigerians from all over the country.

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey around Nigeria with Funmi Iyanda as she journeys from state to state talking with Nigerians from all spheres of life. Talk With Funmi captures discussions that range from the hard hitting stories of our time to the every day challenges of Nigerian life with some light-hearted banter and fun along the way.

The show talks to people everywhere, from ordinary citizens going about their business to celebrities in unusual but natural settings. Join Funmi as she spends the day with Charlie Boy and Lagos Okada riders and goes hunting in the forests of Ondo. Watch her dance galala in Ajegunle and play football with Governor Fashola and the All Stars. Experience the people and places of Nigeria in a way you’ve never seen them before.

Speaking about her inspiration for the show, Funmi Iyanda said “I wanted to create a platform where authentic Nigerian stories told by Nigerians could be heard. Nobody can tell our stories the way we can. We need to be ourselves, and tell our stories with honesty, creative artistry, intelligence and humour.”

And for her, Nigeria’s move towards its fiftieth independence anniversary is the perfect opportunity to capture vibrant Nigerian stories and engage the people in transformative  conversations—conversations that could ignite meaningful change.

Talk With Funmi has also been shot and produced to international broadcast standards on high definition video, from a production team led by UK based award-winning director Chris Dada. The result is groundbreaking and innovative television that is an artistic blend of documentary, reality television and talk show.

Join Talk With Funmi each week on DSTV’s Africa Magic on Sunday at 7pm and embark on a  journey that promises to be fresh, eye opening and fun.

Talk With Funmi is an Ignite Media production.
