#75 - Suffering, But Not Smiling Anymore

Release Date: 03/17/2024

Description: We dive into the heart of Nigeria's economic woes. Hosts Okey Ndibe and Emeka Onyeagwa as they dissect the critical state of affairs in "Suffering, But Not Smiling Anymore." This episode uncovers the grim reality of living through Nigeria's economic crisis, from skyrocketing prices and the Naira's devaluation to the challenges facing the middle class and the unreliability of power supply. The discussion also ventures into the realm of cryptocurrency, examining the government's stance, the impact of regulatory fines on Binance, and the broader implications for Nigeria's economy and the value of the Naira. With insight into the scarcity of foreign currency, rising living costs, and the psychological impact on Nigerian society's aspirations for luxury and prestige, this episode is a critical examination of the need for effective leadership and a call to action for sustainable economic reform.
