Chude Jideonwo Discusses Writing His Will at 30

Chude Jideonwo, a media entrepreneur, revealed in an October 2026 interview on Beyond with Ezinne that he wrote his will at the age of 30 or 31, around 2015 or 2016. This decision stemmed from his reflections on death, family responsibilities, and the legacy he wishes to leave.

The experience prompted him to confront his fears about mortality and consider his obligations to his mother and an NGO he supports. Jideonwo articulated that he realized he did not want to have children, despite being an only child, which led him to reflect on family expectations and personal choices.

His decision to prepare a will at a relatively young age indicated his intention to make deliberate plans regarding his assets and the beneficiaries he envisioned. The interview did not clarify whether his views on having children have changed since that realization.
