About this listen
This episode begins with a simple check-in life updates, personal shifts, and honest reflections before moving into the conversations dominating social media.
We touch on the recent discussions around Nigeria’s electoral process and the tension shaping public opinion online. From there, we address the highly emotional discourse surrounding rape allegations, consent, and the cultural tendency to rush to loud conclusions.
We speak about accountability, parenting both the boy child and the girl child, and the danger of rape apologism. We question whether every opinion needs to be aired immediately especially when nuance and sensitivity are required.
The episode then transitions into a broader conversation about ego and autocratic masculinity, the kind that polices softness, discourages emotional expression, and equates warmth with weakness.
We close with a dilemma about a man expressing simple affection in friendship and being met with suspicion, using it as a lens to examine how cultural rigidity limits healthy connection.
Layered. Emotional. Contextual.
A conversation about restraint, responsibility, and redefining strength.
Very Things Left Unsaid.
