Before this segment ends, a Kemi also complains about the inherent pedophilia in Nigeria, especially during the NYSC year as a Corps Member. The conversation also moves into #MeToo and the entertainment industry in Nigeria.

“To live a life in Nigeria is to be constantly annoyed”

A few days ago, a lot of Nigerians lost their lives at No. 14, Massey Street, Ita-faaji, off Apatira Street. Before then, Professor Pius Adesanmi lost his life on the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed. It’s been a few dark days for Nigeria and the gang commiserates with the losses.

According to the gang, the problem with issues like this also comes down to the selfishness in the Nigerian government that only does things for rewards and gains. The discussion also gleans the problems of a terrible process culture and the problems with a lack of education and the insensitivity, and a lack of empathy for one another behind it all, even from seemingly sensible person.
