Man plans, Nepa laughs
On this episode of Life is a Skit, Samuel and Ibitein sit down for an honest conversation about the things we've quietly normalized as young Nigerians. Some of it is funny. Some of it hits a little too close.
They talk about the ”infrastructure tax” and how a whole month without electricity somehow became just… another month. How a trip to Rwanda, a friend's ATM card failing abroad, and a video about passport privilege can suddenly reveal that what feels normal here isn't normal everywhere. They also get into how institutions, from NEPA to school bureaucracy, often pass their dysfunction down as ”that's just how it is.
By the end, you might find yourself asking the same question we did: is this normal?
Join the conversation on Instagram & YouTube and let us know: What's something that seems normal but isn't?
HOST: Sam Toye
WITH: Ibitein Iyalla
