The scam has resumed at long last... In our first official episode (though still very much a working experiment), we briefly consider the so called 'Fulani herdsmen' crisis from a class perspective, before reflecting on the meaning of the 'Nigerian Scam' and its relevance to the history of the Nigerian left... Are yahoo boys fighting for reparations? Isn't the nation state, more fundamentally, a scam? What's left of the Nigerian Labour movement? etc, etc.

Intro and outro song is Recognize ft OGenius & LJ by our very own Slasher O.A.G.

In our second test recording, we spoke with Dami (@dvmilola) about his participation in Alausa #EndSARS, the role of capital and ideology in the protest, and about the possibility of increased and organised political engagement between the Left and the so called 'hoodlums'.

We attempted a first episode on the historical significance of the revolt, the absence of a general strike  (unlike in #Occupy2012), the revolutionary duties of artists and celebrities, the pitfalls of leaderless organising, and on what the Nigerian Left can learn from #EndSARS.

(forgive the poor audio quality - we are yet to acquire professional production!)
