    6. Reflecting on Nigerian Independence Day 2022

    This podcast was recorded one day after Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day. (Several of our relatives were alive to see the first one.) We spent the episode reflecting on the different definitions of the word “independence,” the ways we celebrated Nigerian Independence Day growing up, and how much space we personally feel comfortable taking up in discussions about Nigerian independence. Books mentioned by Chinyere in this episode: “Glory” by NoViolet Bulawayo and “If An Egyptian Cannot Speak English” by Noor Naga. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/592441/glory-by-noviolet-bulawayo/ https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/if-egyptian-cannot-speak-english Artists Nneka mentioned during the episode: SOLU, Owo, Tobes44, Luh BlessedChild, and Asake.
