Tinubu's Governance in the Hot Seat! - S4E02
<p>On 29th May 2023, Nigeria got itself a new president, and let’s just say he wasted no time before shaking things up. First move? Slash the fuel subsidy like he’s putting the whole country on a surprise diet—no warm-up, just “boom, no more discounts!” Since then, Nigerians have been faced with skyrocketing fuel prices, inflation that feels like a bad movie sequel, and then, a nationwide protest in 2024 where the people poured into the streets to say, “Oga, this isn’t working!” Join Evelyn and Lara on this episode as the share their reflections of President Bola-Ahmed Tinubu’s first year—the wins, the stumbles, and those eyebrow-raising, headline-making moments. From the nationwide protests to promises on paper, is he the leader Nigerians have been waiting for or just another guy with big ideas and an even bigger mess? </p> <p>As always, please support our ministry by sharing, leaving a review/comment and follow @onceuponanaija on all social media platforms.

The Aftermath: Road to 2023 - S3E07
<p>The much anticipated presidential election in Nigeria on 25th Feb was competitive, controversial and climactic. In this episode, Evelyn and Lara shared their observations of the day, expectations for Peter Obi and Nigerian youths as they prepare for another 8 years of APC government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.</p> <p>This is our final episode for this season. We have thoroughly enjoyed being on this road to the 2023 presidential election with our listeners and we look forward to returning with another engaging season in July. Until then, feel free to listen to all our past episodes, share and engage with us on all our social media platforms.</p> <p>By the way, you may notice that our description of the BVAS was not totally coherent in this episode so before you flog us, here is our correction.</p> <p>"The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), is a device introduced by INEC in 2021 aimed at stopping election fraud.</p> <p>The BVAS is essentially a small rectangular box with a screen that is more technologically advanced than the Smart Card Readers used in the past.</p> <p>The key benefit of the BVAS is that it has the capacity to perform dual identification of voters on election day through their fingerprints and facial recognition. This should stop people without valid PVCs from voting, as well as those who are ineligible to vote attempting to do so.</p> <p>Another aspect of the BVAS is that it uploads (supposedly) vote results directly to the Inec results portal for all to see, which in theory means results cannot be tampered with".<br> <br> Be sure to check us out on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZdXw2efhPF9OuLaljfYvQ?si=BVUiMahjQyebf1wH_sC5Pg&dl_branch=1"><u>Spotify</u></a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaCPanj379QKWLoAj6zKRfg"><u>YouTube</u></a>, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/once-upon-a-naija/id1596361503"><u>Apple</u></a> podcasts and <a href="https://anchor.fm/onceuponanaija"><u>wherever you get your podcast</u></a>.</p> <p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/onceuponanaija/"><u>Instagram</u></a> @onceuponanaija.</p> <p>Would you like to collaborate with us or just send some encouragement?
