EP 045: From Flood Deaths to Grammy Prizes: Are Africans Victims of Incompetence?

Send us Fan Mail

From Morocco’s flooded streets to the "gilded cage" of the Grammys in Hollywood, we tear down the curtains of African victimhood. We tackle Climate Scapegoating, asking why Mozambique schools collapse while Bangladesh saves thousands, and why we allow our leaders to blame the sky for infrastructure failures and corrupt contracting.

Switching gears to the arts, we debate whether Afrobeats titans like Burna Boy and Wizkid are wasting their breath chasing Western validation when they should be building an "African Grammys" at home. We wrap with a look at the fatal cost of cultural taboos and the "smooth trunk" death trap. Are we victims of the weather, or just bad executives of our own future?
