This is a podcast on trending and topical issues around the world. Your hosts Falowo Ebunoluwa Emmanuel (Emma) and Balogun Semeton Joshua (Josh), shares their own perspective on these issues every fortnight.
Welcome to our crib. We come in peace.
From television studios and newspaper columns to X spaces, podcasts, and YouTube channels, Nigeria has no shortage of people regarded as public intellectuals. They shape political debates, influence public opinion, and often position themselves as the nation's moral and intellectual compass.
In this episode, we explore what it really means to be an intellectual. We examine the difference between knowledge and wisdom, expertise and confidence, scholarship and influence.
From podcast gurus and YouTube philosophers to viral commentators and X-thread experts, we ask a difficult question: Has social media democratized intellectual discourse, or has it created a culture where visibility is mistaken for intelligence?
Join us as we unpack the rise of the social media intellectual, why many of them are overrated, and what genuine intellectual engagement looks like in an age of endless content and shrinking attention span

The Cost of Being Young in Nigeria
What does it really cost to be young in Nigeria today?
In this episode, we unpack the realities that many young Nigerians are navigating every day.
From the financial pressures of surviving in a challenging economy to the constant race for career growth and stability, we explore what it means to build a future in uncertain times.
We also discuss the rising cost of modern relationships, the emotional and mental toll of trying to "keep up", and why more young people are questioning whether they can create the life they want at home.
Of course, no conversation about the Nigerian youth experience would be complete without addressing the ever-present Japa debate: is leaving the country the solution, or just another difficult trade-off?
This is an honest conversation about ambition, survival, identity, and the hidden costs of chasing a better life.

What Northern Nigeria is Really Like - Josh's Foray Upnorth
What really happens when a Southerner spends time travelling across Northern Nigeria?
In this episode, Josh shares stories, observations and unexpected lessons from his recent journey across several northern states.
We unpack some of the biggest misconceptions Southerners often have about the North, the places and people that surprised him the most, and how the reality on the ground compares to the picture often painted by the media.
From unforgettable encounters with strangers and surprising acts of hospitality to fascinating food discoveries and local delicacies, Josh reflects on the moments that challenged his assumptions and broadened his perspective.
We also explore differences in lifestyle, religion, community life and culture, along with the most beautiful places he visited during the trip.
The conversation goes beyond travel, touching on what the North does particularly well, what other parts of the country can learn from it, and the valuable lessons that come from stepping outside your comfort zone and experiencing Nigeria firsthand.
Whether you've travelled up North before or only know it through headlines and stereotypes, this episode offers a thoughtful, honest and eye-opening look at a region many Nigerians think they know, but often don't.
