On this episode of JOI Podcast, the crew sat down to unpack a wide range of hot-button topics with their usual unfiltered energy.

We kicked things off with a deep dive into the “Africans claiming Africa” ideology, exploring what it really means for identity, culture, and unity in the diaspora. From there, we broke down the impact of the new Texas law, debating how it affects everyday people and where the state is heading politically.

The conversation then shifted to the music scene as we examined Asake’s attempt to blend into the American music culture—weighing the pros and cons of crossing over, and whether it strengthens or dilutes his authentic sound.

We didn’t stop there. Accountability was on the table as we challenged the idea of Nigerians taking responsibility, both at home and abroad, and how that shapes progress. Finally, we wrapped things up with a discussion on President Tinubu’s vacation—the timing, the optics, and the bigger implications for leadership in Nigeria.

It’s bold, thought-provoking, and classic JOI—tune in and join the conversation!
