ISWIS SE02EP25 - The "What Next" Episode
Last week Tuesday, the unimaginable happened. While peaceful protesters sat on the ground at Lekki toll gate, waving Nigerian flags and singing the national anthem, military men opened fire on them, killing and hurting a number of people. What followed were 2 days of widespread mayhem in Lagos with looting and attacks on private and public businesses in the city. It was a terrifying and unbelievably sad time. Since then there has been a lot of misinformation and confusion, and many many many questions. We don’t have all the answers, and actually have more questions, but we dey for you. We discuss our heartbreak over what happened at the Lekki toll gate, present more questions and what we think happens next. Stay strong everyone! We move still.

ISWIS SE02EP24 - The “Big Baj Energy” Episode ft Tolani Baj!
Hello guys! New week new episode as usual. Before we talk about this episode it’s important that we mentioned that the protest to #EndSARS is still going on all around Nigeria and we want to encourage and implore people to stay peaceful while protesting. We must put an end to police brutality in Nigeria.
This weeks episode features the amazing Tolani Baj; a contest of the just concluded big brother Naija lockdown season. We talk about her childhood, being Nigerian American, her time in the Big Brother house and her future plans. Tolani is a complete vibe and we hope you enjoy the podcast!
ISWIS - The #ENDSARS and Nigerian police brutality episode ft Falz
Over the last few days, there have been a series of protests, against the extrajudicial brutality of the Nigerian police, particularly the “Special Anti Robbery Squad”, a brutal and blood thirsty unit who have used their state sanctioned powers to kidnap, abuse, sexually assault, rob and harass Nigerians for many years with no consequences. No more
In this special episode we speak to Falz, a rapper (and lawyer) who has a passion for social justice issues.
It was a pretty emotional episode but as usual we let these jokes fly. You will notice that FK is not as prominent in the episode and that’s because while we were recording she was lobbying for the release of wrongly arrested protestors, raising and sending money and medical supplies to protesters across the country , a true queen .
Please make sure you play a part in supporting. From social media amplification, to donating, to physically protesting. This is a once in a generation opportunity to do the right thing. Do the right thing
ISWIS SE02EP23 - The “Financial Fraud” Episode
New week, new episode!
We’re sure every single person listening has gotten at least one fraudulent email or has had attempted fraudulent activity happen with their emails or bank accounts. Today, we have partnered with monisense to talk all about financial fraud. Every year, just over 5.2 TRILLION dollars are lost to fraud globally. Many individual lives and businesses are ruined and take many years, if ever, to recuperate. This episode hopes to help all our listeners “jazz up” and know what pitfalls to avoid in order to avoid as much as possible, being a victim.
We have two guests; Idong who had her business accounts wiped out by fraudsters, and Jasper, a “former” fraudster. As Idong tells us her study, Jasper explains what’s happening on the fraudsters end, and answers a number of other questions around his choice of occupation. It is a pretty informative episode.

This week, we talk to the phenomenal Ade Balogun about two of our favourite things; work and family! Ade has had an interesting career; from architecture to e-commerce to simultaneously owning a hair salon and working on renewable energy for low income households. After discussing her career journey, we delve into her family life, discussing her blissful childhood and early adulthood as a sort of, kind of only child to a decade long rift with her father and their reconciliation. We also get into what it’s like dealing with the public health system while caring for a sick parent, and honouring a parents religious beliefs and performing traditional rites in their honour. It’s a really interesting discussion.
