Ebuka Obi-Uchendu sat down with Aproko Doctor to discuss issues surrounding smoking, gambling, drugs, pornography, and the constant search for validation. During the conversation, Ebuka revealed that he started smoking in JSS3 and continued for 13 years.

“But I started smoking in JSS3, and I smoked for 13 years. By university, I was doing about two packs a day,” he shared.

Aproko Doctor explained that many addictions are connected to people trying to avoid pain while chasing pleasure. The discussion also touched on betting addiction, with many people constantly hoping to make quick money after hearing success stories from others.

Banky W also opened up about his past struggle with pornography addiction, while the episode explored how some people use pornography as a replacement while battling promiscuity and emotional issues.

One of the most shocking moments came when Aproko Doctor spoke about rehab and drug abuse in Nigeria, saying he had “never seen as many drugs” as he saw inside rehabilitation spaces.

The conversation also highlighted concerns about how drug abuse and betting continue to grow despite their effects on young people, with many viewers describing the episode as honest, emotional, and eye-opening.

Since the episode dropped, social media users have praised #MENtalityWithEbuka for creating a safe space for real and difficult conversations that many people usually avoid.
