Hi,

welcome to Nancy Talks. I'm Nancy Okereke.

I'm unable to publish an actual episode of my podcast because I've been really busy lately.

But I hope to publish in a couple of days.

Thank you so much for listening to my podcast. Until next time. Bye.

#EndSars

On Tuesday October 6, 2020, Nigerian youths went out to the streets to protest against police brutality, calling on the government to end the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) notorious for harassing and killing young people. Today, October 11, the Nigeria Police Force announced the dissolution of SARS. But is this really a win for us? #ReformPolice #EndPoliceBrutality. Follow me on Twitter: @NancyDeguapa

It's been 60 years since Nigeria became independent of colonial rule. But how free are we, really?

Most times, when we are lucky to escape some unfortunate incident, we express gratitude - to God, or whatever. But are we grateful for the right thing?

Hi, thank you for listening to my podcast. I'm Nancy Okereke.

In this episode, I talk about the impact of religion on people's beliefs and actions. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue. Has religion shaped your views on life in any way?

Hi, thank you for listening to my podcast. I'm Nancy Okereke.

In this episode, I talk about changes in African culture and why we still hold on to certain practices. I also talk about how we can move forward by embracing positive changes to our culture.

Hi, thank you for listening to my podcast. I'm Nancy Okereke.

In this episode, I talk about the patriarchy and how women can take up positions of authority in their homes and in the society at large. I round up my talk on gender issues in the meantime, and I hope to talk more about gender in future episodes.

A lot of cultures, like the Igbo culture, for example, do not recognise women as equal to men. More often than not, women are not even considered as humans deserving of recognition. It's why children bear their father's names; why sons are, sometimes the only ones who receive inheritance; why men always have to be above women. But I want women to challenge these practices. Thank you for listening to my podcast.
