The Sisters of Charity of New York issued a gentle but firm rebuke to Cardinal Timothy Dolan after his public praise of Charlie Kirk as a “modern-day St. Paul.” In their statement, the Sisters reminded the Church that sainthood is measured not by divisive rhetoric but by service, compassion, and love of neighbour, citing the legacy of their foundress, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Their response raises important questions about faith, leadership, and the true meaning of discipleship in today’s Church.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

In this episode, I reflect on a post by Nigerian writer Ikenna Okeh, who said Nigeria has “low quality elites.” I explore what that means — how our wealthy too often chase status instead of building schools, libraries, or culture — and why true leadership should be about investing in the future, not just showing off wealth.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

In this episode, I take a hard look at the state of libraries in Nigeria. I reflect on the irony of a First Lady’s birthday donation campaign for a National Library building that has been under construction for years, and what that says about our national priorities. At stake is access to knowledge, education, and the future of literacy itself.

In this conversation, I discuss the ongoing conflict in Gaza and express my solidarity with the Palestinian people while recognizing the broader complexities of global oppression. I reflect on historical injustices, the recurring cycle of violence, and the urgent need for peace and solidarity among all people. I emphasize the importance of learning from history and the moral necessity of standing together against oppression wherever it occurs.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

In this conversation, I reflect on Nigeria’s urgent challenges, from worsening insecurity to the hypocrisy of its leadership. I critique the administration’s failure to meet the needs of ordinary Nigerians. I also call out the government for sounding polished and persuasive on international platforms while failing to deliver real progress at home — a dangerous gap between rhetoric abroad and reality on the ground. This episode was inspired by the post of Precious Okuk, brought to my attention by Mr. Dele Farotimi.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

In this episode of Boring Conversations, South African writer and activist Zukiswa Wanner joins us from the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian mission sailing toward Gaza. She and colleagues from over 40 countries — artists, scientists, humanitarians, ordinary people — are demanding a humanitarian corridor to deliver food and medicine where governments have failed.
We talk about the double standards of international law, South Africa’s case against Israel at the ICJ, the silence of the UN, and the falsehood that Gaza’s struggle began on October 7.
This is a conversation about Gaza, Africa, and the Global South, about dictators who always crumble, and about sumud — steadfastness in the face of oppression.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

In this episode, we draw unexpected lines between Ireland and Nigeria — from colonial legacies to the traumas passed down through language, famine, and fate. Sparked by reflections after attending a lecture by Dr. Gabor Maté on trauma, we unpack how modern media shapes our sense of global crises, from Gaza to Ukraine, and why love, humanity, and hope remain urgent in a fractured world.Stay connected and never miss an episode.
