Episode 18: I’m a Non-Practicing Nigerian!

Description

Nigeria is 65 and we pulled up in our OG studio, dressed in full Naija attire, to talk about what independence really feels like. Independence Day is not simple pride. It is pride mixed with chaos, laughter with pain, joy with struggle. Being Nigerian is never one thing. It is everything at once.We sang the national anthem, not with pride but with questions. How does a country drowning in corruption, flooding in Lagos, and still profiling its own youth think that changing the anthem is progress? That is Nigeria. The land where “Nigeria happened to me” is a phrase everyone understands.We told our own stories of police profiling. We dragged the diaspora for sometimes celebrating harder than the people back home. We dreamed about a Nigeria vs Canada World Cup match in Toronto that may never come. We dropped hot takes about politicians’ children, revolutions, and what it means to love being Nigerian more than loving Nigeria itself. Uzor said it is the hope that kills. KP said he has no choice but to be hopeful.Because even with the madness, nobody carries swag like a Nigerian. Nobody is cooler. Nobody makes the world pay attention the way Nigerians do. That is why this Independence Day conversation matters.This is Episode 18, “I’m a Non-Practicing Nigerian.” A Nigerian Independence podcast special filled with pride, pain, humor, and survival.
