Nigeria Revisited with Lape Banjo

We're back with an early Christmas present - a bonus episode with Lape Banjo! Lape is a British Nigerian broadcast journalist who has worked across both UK and African networks and is currently a reporter with Sky News. She has a passion for African culture and politics and has previously worked at political organisations, including The Economic Community of West African States, and UNICEF. In this episode we revisit Nigeria in its present day, discussing the impact of diasporans returning to the country, Nigeria's strong cultural impact, the emergence of a middle class, corruption and accountability and the impact of social media on grassroots campaigns such as #EndSars.
