How To Lose A Match in 99 Goals

Fireballs, lion heads, and voodoo, these were the special ingredients chosen to make the greatest loss in our sporting history… allegedly. Once upon a time, a football match between India and Nigeria ended in a 99 - 0 loss for the Nigerian Green Eagles. On this episode, host Deji Osikoya takes us through a play-by-play of the mythical match. Joined by third generation Indian-Nigerian Hamisha Daryani Ahuja, director and producer of acclaimed cross-cultural Netflix features, ‘Namaste Wahala’ and ‘Postcards’, the two dig into how colonialism, commerce, and cinema have shaped our national friendship.

Interview: Ayo Adio

In this episode of 4th Republic, we’re joined by Ayo Adio, who is currently running for Local Government Chairman of Eti Osa in Lagos. His campaign is unconventional, youth-led, and rooted in the belief that real change begins at the local level. Adio walks us through the motivations behind his candidacy, the barriers he’s navigating as a first-time contender without political godfathers, and what he’s learning about the way local governance actually works in Nigeria. This conversation is a crash course in political courage, civic engagement, and the complexities of running for office in a system that often discourages independent thought.

Roses are red, our passports are green, ‘Japa’ is migration to a country you’ve never been.

On this episode, host Abimisola of the Japa Diaries Podcast, surfs the waves and their ripple effects on our identities. On board with her are Nigerian-American, Mrs. Tayo Iyiola and Black British returnee Chef Wunmi Durosinmi-Etti. Follow the trio as they sail back and forth across the Atlantic, visiting former presidents, Nollywood icons, and the most elusive Nigerian of them all - the ‘I Just Got Backs’. Hosted on Acast.
