My first real experience with Nigeria was in 2005. I was 14 years old. 60 of my friends passed away in the Sosoliso plane crash. The biggest lesson I learnt at 14 was that the Nigerian State does not care. No one was fined. No one was arrested. No one was blamed. 60 children died. - Iyinoluwa Aboyeji In this episode (2 of 2), we discuss uncomfortable facts with Iyinoluwa Aboyeji who shares 3 things Nigeria needs to work on to make a better system.  This discussion is a continuation from my discussion with Fakhrriyyah Hashim There's an education process, that whether we like it or not, has taken place.

The independence was led by Nigerians in their 20's. Now Generation Z is asking for a change with the ongoing protest. In this episode (1 of 2), we speak with Fakhrriyyah Hashim who shares her views on the ongoing #ENDSARS protest in Nigeria, the Nigeria she met and the one she hopes it becomes According to Fakhrriyyah Hashim, young people know if they campaign and vote for BBNaija, their votes would be reflected in the BBNaija results. This is something Nigerian youths haven't seen throughout their entire lives in the Nigerian government.  The power social media has given to our generation, combined with festering anger, and people who have decided not to talk about it but come together and say what can we do, that's the Nigeria we are witnessing. - Fakhrriyyah Hashim About Fakhrriyyah Hashim Fakhrriyyah Hashim is a social and community development advocate in Nigeria.

There are questions that need to be answered to rescue a failing state. What are these questions? Who needs to answer them?  I am excited to share the first edition of this series, graced by two impeccable children of the soil; Affiong Williams, entrepreneur and CEO of Reel Fruits and  Abiola Kazeem  CEO of Elevate Sports. Our discussion highlights their experiences of being Nigerians born in the 1980s from different classes. This conversation centres on the Nigeria we met; one where citizens were concerned about everything, where that system worked for all classes and security was a trade of trust between two entities. We delve into Nigeria we've grown into; where people do things with only themselves in mind, where the decay of the system is apparent and glaring with the middle-class evaporating.
