On 29th May 2023, Nigeria got itself a new president, and let’s just say he wasted no time before shaking things up. First move? Slash the fuel subsidy like he’s putting the whole country on a surprise diet—no warm-up, just “boom, no more discounts!” Since then, Nigerians have been faced with skyrocketing fuel prices, inflation that feels like a bad movie sequel, and then, a nationwide protest in 2024 where the people poured into the streets to say, “Oga, this isn’t working!” Join Evelyn and Lara on this episode as the share their reflections of President Bola-Ahmed Tinubu’s first year—the wins, the stumbles, and those eyebrow-raising, headline-making moments. From the nationwide protests to promises on paper, is he the leader Nigerians have been waiting for or just another guy with big ideas and an even bigger mess?
