The Value Café With Esther Opone

First off, how are you holding up? Sending hugs your way. 

In this episode, I had a semi-rant cum "e go better" conversation with my friends, Solomon Adewole, Oyo State Most Influential Personality (Civic Space), and Damilola Olaseni of The Chills Plug, we explored the current Nigeria situation, facing challenges and keeping hope alive, all over a bowl of ice cream (because we gotta have those feel good indulgences, winks).

Sit back, plug in and have fun listening, and of course, grinning at intervals.
