    Why Moving Goods Across Africa Is Still So Hard

    Why is it sometimes easier to get something shipped from China to Nigeria than from Nigeria to another African country? In this episode, Mitchel and Opeyemi sit down with Ayodeji Akinwande, Head of Brand Management at Heirs Insurance Group, and Michael Akinsete, CMO at Ecotutu, to unpack why moving goods across Africa remains so difficult. We talk about logistics in Nigeria, the realities of moving goods by road, air and sea, the startups trying to fix the problem, and why building an "Amazon of Africa" is much harder than simply building the platform. We also get into the bigger picture: government policy, AfCFTA, currency, inflation and what a truly connected African market could mean for businesses and consumers. Why is Africa still so hard to move around—and what would it take to change that?

    The New Education Landscape

    Education is undergoing a profound transformation. Technology has made knowledge more accessible than ever, yet learning outcomes, attention spans, and the effectiveness of traditional education systems remain under scrutiny. And now, AI is reshaping how we learn, think, and acquire knowledge. Leke, Opeyemi, and Mitchel unpack these challenges through a distinctly Nigerian tech lens, exploring what is changing, what is broken, and what the future of education could look like.

    Job Hunting - More Than Just Food on The Table

    Jobs, workplace impact and mental health cleverly addressed from first person POVs by the objection hosts, as Mitch re-enforces the Igbo-money stereotype to the surprise of Leke and Ope. This episode dives deeply into our work-life culture and the nuances involved in Job Hunting in one of the most competitive markets in the world, Lagos; addressing workplace toxicity and the impact of technology on the entire corporate culture.

    Rebelling as a Rite of Passage to Adulthood

    What is better than one Objection Podcast Episode? Two! (This episode is twice as long 😪) In this episode, we stretch the boundaries of time as we touch a topic very personal to us (not the Nigerian Government) but the first government we all experienced growing up... Parents. We hear a bit more of Mitchel's views than we'd normally as everyone shares some personal experiences and stories on the subject matter of the necessity of rebelling against one's parents.
