• How to Steal a Nigerian Election
    Mar 11 2023

    On this episode , following Nigeria's 2023 Presidential and National Assembly Elections Osayi, Ayo, Mira and Tola explore the reasons for our trust issues with INEC by brainstorming the best way to steal an election (with the consent of INEC of-course).

    We ask whether they have been set up to fail at the institutional level, or if it’s due to political corruption (pay to play). Could it be that it’s not their fault? Because the nature of Nigerian Politics, which seems to always have a tinge of violence and intimidation (and now hacking), is INEC simply a victim?

    In the second half of the podcast we desperately attempt to find a positive spin by discussing what integrity would look like, we come up with innovative ideas since real electronic voting seems to be off the table.

    Despite the circumstances, this episode is a lot of laughs, I mean what else is the option at this point.

  • Election Day Special: Voting at Every Level
    Feb 25 2023

    It's Election Day, and if you can, go and vote!!!

    On this episode, we'll be exploring the relationship between the Executive, Legislative and Gubernatorial branches of Government, and to unpack this I have a few good friends joining the show - Ayo, Mira and Tola.

    We attempt to answer.. How exactly does the National Assembly function? What exactly do they campaign about? And what powers does the House and Senate have over the other branches? Especially when it comes to keeping the themselves in check.

  • The Lioness of Lisabi w/ Eyilola A.
    Apr 4 2022

    🚨🎙️

    On this episode, Eyilola Ajibola of unosabi9ja.com joins the podcast to talk about his piece on Funmilayo Ransom Kuti. 

    We start with her background and her connection to Brazil, then we get into how that positioned her for a good education and led her to not only become a teacher but also to start a literary club for women in her hometown of Abeokuta. This leadership and activism led her to fight against unjust taxes and other tools of the colonial government and it is through this she received national acclaim and became one of the National leaders representing Nigeria in our fight for indpendence. Listen for more on the Legendary FRK!

    The show will be off for a little bit. See you soon!
