Her voice is like a soothing balm over an open wound. Her words are as refreshing as a tall glass of water to a parched tongue. She is Titilope Sonuga – trained engineer and natural poet.
With her role in Season II of NdaniTV‘s series Gidi Up, Titilope came into the spotlight and we’ve been intrigued by her amazing talent. She released her first album of poems ‘Mother Tongue’ on iTunes in 2013.
We found her TedX Edmonton talk and we’re not surprised at the passion behind her words.
Check on it!
Oh my Titilope! You are indeed gifted. Yes I agree with you ‘even nowhere is a place’. Reminds me of a saying I came across years ago from the inaugural speech of a Unilag Professor- even nothing is something. Brilliant work Titi. This is inspiring
Beautiful….God help me find my calling
Thanks Titilope. This feels so good to hear. I’m dealing with a heartbreak that feels like it’s the end of the world, it does feel like being nowhere.
Thank you and may you continue to reach the lives of many with your gift.
Awww Love her. Love the poetry. Very well done.
Titilope going places. I am so proud of you and Kemi. Well done!!

You do not need eyes for what the heart can see. Beautiful Expressions. I love Soundminds, I love Titilope, she is deep.
I knew this girl was talented right from Gidi up. And her voice is soothing……I looooove you girl. God bless you for this darling!
listening to her voice, smiling at the realisation of her words and reconciling with all the unspoken hurt in my heart………….
you my dear, is truly blessed.
Eki! I fell in love with her since I saw the episode of Gidi Up in which she gave a speech at the launch of her gallery or whatever it was. Lol, even though I knew she was acting out her script but that speech was very intelligent and watching her here, she has not disappointed me in real life. She’s beautiful in a not-in-your-face way, it’s refreshing.
