Episode 13- The Day After the Chokepoint: Why Reopening Hormuz Is Harder Than Closing It
What happens after the Strait of Hormuz reopens? In Episode 13 of The Other Opinion Podcast, I look beyond the missiles and headlines to the harder question: why does reopening a chokepoint not immediately restore normality? Hormuz may be declared open politically, but shipping, insurance, energy...

Episode 12: Let’s Talk Lindsey Clancy and the Double Standards of Criminal Culpability
In this episode of The Other Opinion Podcast, I examine the Lindsay Clancy case and the uncomfortable question it raises about gendered criminal culpability. Can severe mental illness explain a crime without automatically excusing it? And do we instinctively humanize female offenders in ways we...

Episode 11- Democracy Was Imported Too: Must Africa Keep Voting Like Europe?
In Episode 11 of The Other Opinion Podcast, I question one of Africa’s most unquestioned political inheritances: Western liberal democracy. If Africa had systems of consensus, councils of elders, rotational authority, communal accountability, and checks on rulers long before colonialism, why must...

Ep 10- Children's Rights: Are Children's Rights as We Know Them Serving Africa, or Shaping It for Someone Else?
In Episode 10 of The Other Opinion Podcast, I ask a difficult question: are children’s rights, as we understand them today, truly serving Africa, or quietly reshaping African childhood through a Western idea of autonomy? This episode examines the tension between protection and authority, rights…

Ep 9 - Autonomy over Existence: If I Own the Right to Live, Why Not the Right to Die?
In Episode 9 of The Other Opinion Podcast, I step into one of the most uncomfortable moral questions of all: if I own the right to live, why not the right to die? This episode examines autonomy, suffering, dignity, and the limits of personal freedom, asking whether the self truly belongs to…

Ep 8- Deconstructing the Pro-Choice Defense on Abortion
In Episode 8 of The Other Opinion Podcast, I deconstruct the pro-choice argument on abortion and ask one central question: if choice is the moral foundation, whose choice really counts, and at what stage? I argue that a woman’s broadest realm of choice begins before conception, through decisions...

Ep 7- Questioning Religion
In this episode of The Other Opinion Podcast, I take on one of the most uncomfortable conversations a believer can have: questioning religion from within faith itself. I make it clear from the start that I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ, but I also argue that any faith that fears...

Ep 6 - Monogamy: The Thing Around Your Neck
In this episode of The Other Opinion Podcast, I examine the idea of monogamy not as a timeless moral truth, but as a marital model heavily shaped by European law, Christian missionary influence, and colonial cultural export. I question why polygamy, particularly in African societies where it once...

Ep 5- Why the World Needs Patriarchy
In this episode of The Other Opinion Podcast, I examine why the modern world keeps condemning patriarchy while still quietly depending on the structure, order, and burden-bearing it once provided. I argue that patriarchy, at its best, was not simply a system of male privilege, but a framework of...

Ep 4 - Not Everyone Should Enjoy Freedom of Expression
In this episode of The Other Opinion Podcast, I take on one of the most sacred ideas of the modern age: freedom of expression. But what if we have been too careless with it? What if not every voice deserves equal authority on every subject? I argue that serious conversations on law, medicine,...

Ep 3- What Nigeria Could Have Done to Stop the US-Israel-Iran War
In this episode, I examine the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, its origins, the weak legal justification behind it, America’s failure to fully achieve its military objectives, and the double standards of international law. More importantly, I ask a bigger question: could Africa, especially Nigeria, have...

Ep 2: Toxic Masculinity – Who Said That Was a Thing?
Episode 2 of The Other Opinion Podcast is now live, and it is called “Toxic Masculinity: Who Said That Was a Thing?” It is not a defense of male cruelty, immaturity, or violence—those things exist, and they deserve naming. But it is a long, hard look at how a legitimate critique of abusive…

Ep 1- I Finally Started
For months, it lived quietly in my head. A concept waiting for the perfect moment. The perfect setup. The perfect format. A video podcast, ideally. A well-designed studio. Clean visuals. Strong production. But as an old African proverb reminds us, “No matter how long the night, the day must…
