Oluyinka Ayanda is an expert in the sexuality and relationship field. She’s a recognized researcher with scientific knowledge in sexual health, behaviour, and relationships. Yinka TNT as she’s fondly called is the host and executive producer of a relationship show online. In this brief chat, Yinka shares her experiences regarding the ‘taboo’ subject that everybody seems to avoid and be uncomfortable talking about, raw sex. She also speaks about her choice of close friends, her new music, ‘Adun’, and movie project, ‘Iyi Wura’. Excerpts…
Tell us about ‘Adun’, your new single track song.
Adun, which means sweet, is a song that beautifully eulogizes and celebrates the uniqueness of women, highlighting their stunning beauty and glamour.
Your music and movie projects involve themes of sex and romance, why is it like that?
Sex is a fundamental aspect of human experience. Its presence shapes the world in profound ways. I believe it’s essential to continue educating people about sex, as it plays a significant role in our lives.
How do you rate the impact of your content on your followers?
I’d like my followers to provide their rating. I’m sure the outcome will have an impact because it helps people with challenges like disconnection from their partners, shame, lack of sexual know-how and self-confidence, including boosting their desire to enjoy magnificent sex.
What is the inspiration behind your intention of using such explicit languages like ‘oko’ and ‘obo’?
I have a strong resentment for hypocrisy. Primarily, the inspiration arose from my passion towards helping people love themselves and create the lives they truly want, nurture meaningful, loving relationships, and have great sex!
What are the challenges you face regularly, particularly in relation to your chosen raw style?
Criticisms is it. But, you know, criticisms from hypocrites tend to be destructive rather than helpful. However, I have no apologies following my passion and pursuing an unusual path as both an explorer and educator, opening up candid conversations about sex.
You don’t seem to maintain close friends despite your celebrity status; is this due to past experiences, hurts or societal anxiety, or just to keep your mental wellbeing?
Not everyone likes a circle of close friends to be happy and fulfilled. I don’t really believe in the concept of close friends; I have acquaintances instead. My children are my true companions.
What are your favourite movie and music genres?
I don’t sit to watch a movie except in the cinema. I write a lot, and to be honest with you, I listen to music a lot.
How does your explicit topics impact your love life?
Only my man has the answer to this (laughs).
Give us briefly the synopsis of your movie, ‘Iyi Wura’ and how well it’s doing.
The film explores the delicate balance between ambition and intimacy, revealing how the pursuit of success can blur the lines between love and loss. It also sheds light on the devastating consequences of unchecked insecurities, as a husband’s demons threaten to destroy his marriage.
Are your music and movie projects for Nigerian markets alone?
Their lessons are universally practical, in particular, my relationship show, which deals boldly on very unusual lifestyles that appear uncomfortable for many people due to its taboo nature.
