Angie's Two Kobos

This episode is about gaining perspective. The truth is that we are all in this pandemic together, trying to take it one day at a time and it is taking a toll on each of us in diverse ways, no matter how strong or emotionally stable we think we are. So, as you listen, I want you to take a moment to truly answer this question: how am I doing? Don't forget to share it with others because we all need this bit of perspective!

I don't like labels. This is why I have decided not to identify as a feminist and yes, a lot has been said about the subject but I assure you that I have something new to say... Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @angieinspired to share your views.

The year 2020 is viewed as the 'golden year', isn't? About 4-5 years ago, we looked upon this year with so much expectation but that is not focus of this episode. Rather, in this episode, I talk about how the millennial is encouraged to as visible as possible through social media so as to achieve their goals. What does this kind of pressure mean for the millennial who is not into social media? Listen and you will hear my two kobos!

There are lots of sayings that have become commonplace. Chief among them is the saying that 'Men are scum'. Listen to this episode to learn how I relate that saying to the notion that boys will always be boys. It will blow your mind, trust me and men, I think you will thank me for this!

Stereotypes are part of everyday life and while some may say that they are inevitable, we have to be honest about the fact that they are extremely annoying. They box people in and make one assume the worst of others. If you have had an experience with a stereotype, you will totally relate to this episode. Listen to the witty way I address this topic and guess what! I start the episode with some storytelling!

Rather than condemn rape, we create a culture that allows rape thrive in Nigeria. We should be focused on the fact that someone's rights have been abused instead of trying to find ways of discrediting the victim. Listen to this episode to hear my two cents on rape culture and the ways that we are promoting it, even in the 'simplest' questions we ask. You have to listen to this!

Depression and suicide rates are on the rise. Funny enough, most people assume that this is because those who get depressed or commit suicide are just trying to join the bandwagon but depression is not like tryingto get the latest iPhone or watched the latest Marvel movie... It is much more than that! Listen to hear more of my thoughts on this pandemic.

It's time to get really serious and address the lack of focus in this country, especially concerning very important matters that some people may deem irrelevant- the violation of women's rights by the police. Listen as I weigh in on what has been weighing on my mind.

When you are waiting in turn for something, what do you do? Simply while away time or stay busy to make the most of the wait? Guess what I have been doing with my time- Interning! And there are lessons worth sharing. Listen to find out what they are and you will probably decide to intern too.

This entry focuses on a SOCIAL topic.

It is an in-depth look at arbitrary levies in Nigeria and it's effects on small business owners as well as quality of life.

I talk about how important it is to empower young people in this episode and guess what! I also reveal who my boyfriend is. If you have been hoping to know a little more about me then you should listen to this!

We could be very lackadaisical about really important matters and in this episode, I point out something very important that we ignore but that just might determine our economic fate... PS: You may need a pen and paper for the math (LOL) but it is also a fun episode, I promise.

Listen to my two kobos on why you should become a volunteer... There is a secret reason I share on this episode!

I speak on a lighthearted topic but definitely something every Nigerian should take seriously. It is a New Year but your year will not be complete without this!
