In this episode, we take a deep and honest look at Nigeria’s long-standing issues around tribalism, ethnic politics, and national unity. We explore the big question: Are Nigeria’s divisions truly rooted in tribalism, or are they the result of deliberate political, historical, and systemic actions?

Using the Nnamdi Kanu case as a major reference point, we examine how ethnicity, justice, and state power collide in modern Nigeria. We also discuss the recent killings of Christians and how religious violence continues to influence fear, bias, and the sense of belonging for different groups.

To provide context, we revisit the Nigerian Civil War — its causes, its long-term effects, and how its unresolved wounds still shape conversations about marginalization, identity, and distrust today.

This episode goes beyond opinions. It connects history, present-day insecurity, governance, and inter-ethnic relationships to paint a clearer picture of why Nigerians often feel divided — and what it means for the country’s future.

In this episode of Beyond the Norms, we dive into one of the most unspoken but relatable realities in Nigerian homes — the entitlement mentality of parents and the heavy expectations placed on their children.

From the “we trained you, now it’s your turn” mindset to the pressure on fresh graduates to start providing for the entire family, we unpack where these beliefs come from, why they persist, and how they shape the lives of young Nigerians today.

It’s honest, raw, and necessary — a conversation about love, obligation, guilt, and finding boundaries in family relationships.

🎧 Tune in as we ask: Do Nigerian parents raise kids for love or for repayment?

In this thought-provoking episode of Beyond the Norms, we dive deep into the growing influence of social media on the Nigerian youth experience — from the way young people think, dream, and define success, to how they view life, relationships, and identity in today’s hyper-digital age.

Together, we explore tough but timely questions:

• Has social media become the new measure of success for Nigerian youths?

• Are we losing ourselves to the pursuit of likes, clout, and validation?

• How can young Nigerians reclaim balance and use social media as a tool for growth, not pressure?
