Peter Obi cannot change Nigeria

Nigeria got independence in 1960 — but did it actually get freedom? In this episode, Koke breaks down geopolitics in plain terms: how loans from the IMF and World Bank come with hidden strings attached, how the Nigerian Civil War was shaped by foreign interference, and why countries like Burkina Faso are only now starting to break free of decades-old colonial arrangements. He also shares a personal story from watching Gaddafi's death unfold on TV as a teenager in Kaduna — and what it taught him about how much of what we're told is actually propaganda. This episode isn't about despair, it's about awareness — three concrete things you can start doing today to make sure you're not being played by systems designed to keep you and your children in the dark.
