In this episode, we dive into the recent significant developments in Nigeria, including the successful general strike, the national anthem controversy, and the degradation of the civil service. We dissect the history and effectiveness of trade union leadership in Nigeria and the palpable impact of social misery exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies. The discussion also delves into the role of external influences in the 2012 protests and the current climate of dissatisfaction and hardship. The hosts critically examine former President Obasanjo's tenure, highlighting both his reforms and failures, particularly in addressing corruption and problems in the power sector. The episode further explores the removal of oil subsidies, the widespread suffering of Nigerians, and the divisive effects of tribalism and identity politics. Concluding with a reflection on the state of the civil service, the hosts ponder the prospects for meaningful change in Nigeria.
