WahaalaTalks

Social Media platforms are often used to bring people together and create a more connected society. However we have all witnessed within its revolution a change of mentality and behaviour where the negative effect is more palpable than the positive it was created to display. Throughout this podcast we have raised some of the issues this generation faces in today’s social media era.

Today’s episode gives an introspection of our Fulani community and what makes us so unique. The focus was mainly to highlight issues that we are facing but we also examined the evolution within the culture and how to adapt this to our shared values.

“let’s all move back to Africa”.

This epic episode is more of a laid back session. It highlights each person’s individual journey from childhood to adulthood while reminiscing on unspoken stories. We also tried to depict different aspects of our upbringings. But the interesting factor that transpired was the passion and love we all have for the mother land.

Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson and Simon Cowell all have one thing in common and that is a multitude of zero’s on the end of their bank account. However whilst there are plenty of successful people without any university qualification, there is without a doubt a correlation that could be drawn between a degree and being successful. In that regard, on this episode we have tried to bridge the gap with a plenitude of contradicting opinions.

Today’s topic don’t need any introduction. Please listen and share and let’s raise awareness on this practice that’s still prevalent in our society.

would you rather be rich or happy?

Truth be told there is a palpable hypocrisy around this generation’s definition of happiness and Often this has been attached to more money related aspects Therefore blurring the lines of the true meaning of happiness. This episode reinforces those stereotypes whilst remaining true to the hypocrisy we are all living on a daily basis.

Are you chasing your goals or your parents goals?

Even with 1000 legs, it is vain to chase two birds at the same time. We are often conflicted between following our Hearts and trying to please our parents. Today’s episode is a dichotomy of what could be considered as a double life lived by many.

Mental Health

There is truth to your pain and today’s episode is a reflection of a very deep and unspoken issue in our community. This issue is often attached to weakness and passive depression. The reality is many people are afraid to express their true feelings and mental wellbeing are often not discussed within the community. Therefore throughout this episode we have tried to breakdown some of the barriers around this topic and hope to bring more conversation around mental health.
