What in the Nigerian dream is this?
Going from childhood ambitions of being lawyers, fashion designers, and robotics engineers, to growing up and just wanting stable light and a little peace of mind, this episode explores the skit that is chasing dreams as a young person in Nigeria.
We talk about the dreams we had, the shift that came with “reality,” and how many young Nigerians today are just trying to survive. Because when the system is broken, what does it mean to still have ambition? Is there even such a thing as the Nigerian Dream, or are we all winging it at this point?
This is The Skit Called Nigeria — a special from Life is a Skit.
