As a Nigerian, You are Classist and Entitled. And Here’s Proof…

TWO MORE TO GO!!!

As we wind down the podcast in two weeks, this week, we had a very long conversation on classism and entitlement culture in Nigeria. But first, we start off (2:39) the show with ⁠Bebe Rexha and G-Eazy’s “Me, Myself, & I”, ⁠and then we quickly catch up on our week. Naomie reconnected with an old crush (6:09) this past week, and she couldn’t stop grinning the entire episode. Yes, that’s the story! LOL. This starts another round of back-and-forth between her and Danny, as always. On random question of the week, we pose the question, are all-girls boarding schools programmed to never centre men in their lives? This interesting perspective sparks a valuable conversation in the room.

On the main portion (2:21:02) of the show, we discuss the culture of classism and entitlement in Nigeria and how that has plagued us as a community. We narrate our (3:04:08) ordeals, navigating the status culture we have seen and experienced at different levels based on our background, assets, resources, access, and exposure. We examine (4:01:31) ourselves, question our biases, and reflect on moments we have been classist or felt entitled to special treatment from people in our lives, and assess why that is, and the intricacies of all sides.
