Love love love this podcast. I live in the States and listening to this podcast keeps me updated on my “sweet”home country NIGERIA
Keep it up guys! Listening to this pod keeps me in touch with naija. I love the vibes and humor. AOT2 needs to be mindful of the things he says sometimes tho. Love from Texas!
Show reminds me why I love Nigeria and why I left Nigeria. Keep on going last last.

I also find the statement that Nigerians just “see another black person” interesting…with all the tribalism that goes on really? How ironic.
