55. Economic Crisis, Status Consciousness, and the Nigerian Middle Class
Q: How do we measure upward mobility in Nigeria, particularly against the current economic backdrop?

The layoffs reflect the serious challenges facing workers as they demand fair treatment while navigating a capitalist framework that prioritizes profits over people.

35. From Military misadventures to Tinubu tragedy: Neoliberal reforms and the Nigerian Left ft. Baba Aye
