We ask whether they have been set up to fail at the institutional level, or if it’s due to political corruption (pay to play). Could it be that it’s not their fault? Because the nature of Nigerian Politics, which seems to always have a tinge of violence and intimidation (and now hacking), is INEC simply a victim? In the second half of the podcast we desperately attempt to find a positive spin by discussing what integrity would look like, we come up with innovative ideas since real electronic voting seems to be off the table. Despite the circumstances, this episode is a lot of laughs, I mean what else is the option at this point. ** Music ** Theme Song by 1705muzik Blood, Sweat & Tears - Dreamville, Bas & Black Sheriff ft.

On this episode, we'll be exploring the relationship between the Executive, Legislative and Gubernatorial branches of Government, and to unpack this I have a few good friends joining the show - Ayo , Mira and Tola . We attempt to answer.. How exactly does the National Assembly function? What exactly do they campaign about? And what powers does the House and Senate have over the other branches? Especially when it comes to keeping the themselves in check. ** Music ** Theme Song by 1705muzik Owa - Falz ft.

This leadership and activism led her to fight against unjust taxes and other tools of the colonial government and it is through this she received national acclaim and became one of the National leaders representing Nigeria in our fight for indpendence.
