In this episode of the Offside Museums podcast, we delve into the socio-economic and political landscapes of Kenya and Nigeria, focusing on the recent upheavals caused by harsh economic conditions and controversial tax legislation in Kenya. The discussion highlights the shared challenges both countries face due to the demands of international lending agencies such as the IMF and the impact of multinational companies departing from Nigeria. We explore the potential implications of adopting genetically modified crops in Africa and discuss the manipulation of ethnic divisions by Nigeria's ruling class. The conversation also reflects on the historical complexities and the role of ethnic divisions in Nigeria's political instability. By drawing parallels and contrasts between the situations in Kenya and Nigeria, we underscore the vibrancy of political resistance and the urgent need for positive change led by the youth in both nations.
