THE THINGS THAT DIVIDE US | Ep. 43

On this Episode, I reflect on the growing divisions in Nigeria—tribal, religious, and historical—that threaten our unity. With tribalism on the rise, politicians exploit our differences for power, deepening the cracks in our national identity. Here, I challenge these divisions and ask: Can we, as Nigerians, rise above ethnicity to forge a collective future?
