God Will Provide? How Religion Is Failing Nigerian Politics with Prince Mbanefo

We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions.What does it really mean to lead Nigeria into the future?In this candid and fiery conversation, I sit down with my childhood friend, Prince (or Ifeanyi “Ify”, as I’ve always known him), to unpack the complex realities of Nigerian politics, religion, and identity.We explore the deep fault lines that shape leadership in Africa’s most populous nation:Why do religion and ethnicity still dominate political choices?Why has Nigeria recycled the same leaders for decades, despite little track record of progress?And how do we rise above apathy, demand accountability, and redefine governance for our time?From the myth of “God will provide” to the harsh truth of 20 million children out of school, we reflect on the costs of misplaced priorities and the urgent need for civic education, strong institutions, and visionary leadership.This episode is not just about Nigeria — it’s about the future of Africa, the perils of political distraction, and the power of citizens who know what to demand. Tune in to Overnight Wisdom with Prince: a raw conversation on faith, power, and the fight for Nigeria’s tomorrow.Support the show-----------------------------------On Overnight Wisdom, new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.Streaming & Social LinksVisit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSzApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rssConnect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/
