What if over a billion Africans could trade, travel, and live under a single currency? No exchange rates, no dollar dependency — just one African economy united under one symbol. In this episode, we dive deep into the history of Pan-Africanism, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and the bold vision of a single currency.

We explore the promises — easier trade, stronger bargaining power, and a united identity — but also the harsh realities: massive economic inequalities, weak infrastructure, and constant political resistance. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: even when economics align, greed and self-interest among leaders often derail real progress.

Why do African leaders struggle to give up control for the greater good? What lessons can be learned from Europe’s Euro experiment? And is the dream of “One Africa, One Currency” achievable, or forever hostage to leadership failures?

Join us as we unravel the hope, the challenges, and the politics behind Africa’s most ambitious economic dream.
