    How Broke is GenZ?

    How broke is Gen Z in Nigeria? And why does it feel like many are struggling? In this episode of Beyond The Base, we sit down with Samuel Aladegbaye, a certified financial and investment analyst who studies money for a living, to break down the realities of finance, work, and survival for young people in Nigeria’s economy. Samuel has been featured on CNBC Africa, Arise News, and has spoken at the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorations. In this conversation, he helps us make sense of money beyond the noise — from inflation and policy changes to why Gen Z is working multiple jobs just to stay afloat. We talk about how Samuel’s journey into finance started during the COVID era, how a famous investor turning $20 million into $2 billion sparked his obsession with markets, and how cold-messaging his way into the industry landed him his first job in finance. Beyond personal stories, this episode dives into Nigeria’s economic future, including bank recapitalisation, government policy shifts, and what sectors may offer real opportunities in the years ahead. Samuel also shares practical insights for young people trying to build wealth, invest wisely, and think long-term in a country where the cost of living keeps rising. If you’ve ever felt confused about money, anxious about the future, or pressured to “figure it all out” too early — this episode is for you.

    Just because it’s legal… does that make it right? ft Nimi Edimeh

    What happens when the law allows something… but morality questions it? In this episode of Beyond The Base, we sit down with Nimi Edimeh — a corporate commercial lawyer and event host popularly known as “the social lawyer” — to unpack the tension between law, power, and justice in Nigeria. We talk about: What corporate commercial lawyers actually do Why the legal profession is deeply conservative Whether lawyers are allowed to have side hustles The real meaning of justice in law (and the Latin principles behind it) Presidential pardons in Nigeria — legal power vs moral responsibility Why Nigerian leaders often act only when issues become PR crises This episode is honest, reflective, and necessary, especially in a time when legality and morality are no longer synonymous. Plus, we end on a lighter note with the Snack Challenge with Munchit 🍿 🎧 Listen, reflect, and tell us what you think.

  7. Why did we start a podcast?

    2025. 10. 24.

    Why did we start a podcast?

    Do you know what this podcast is really about? If you've been listening to us for a while now, then you probably get the gist. But just in case you don't, we're here to break it down. We started the Beyond the Base podcast to challenge the harmful Gen Z stereotypes that are so prevalent today. Sadly, older generations see us as lazy, rude or unconventional But in the real sense, we’re a generation that is ambitious, informed, and unapologetically hardworking. Our podcast is here to break stereotypes, share success stories, and provide insights that inspire young people to dream bigger, act smarter, and lead confidently.

  8. Are Nepo babies more ambitious than everyone else?

    2025. 10. 11.

    Are Nepo babies more ambitious than everyone else?

    Have you ever wondered what life feels like for people born with the unnatural advantage of being limitless, those who grow up surrounded by abundance and privilege, free to take risks others can’t afford? People who don’t believe in financial ceilings because they’ve never had to live under one. This is the life of a Nepo Baby. In this episode of Beyond the Base, Precious, Ibidapo, and Baseman unpacked the realities of Nepo Babies versus Lapo Babies — exploring how privilege shapes ambition and how motivation differs when you’re driven by legacy rather than survival. It’s a candid, thought-provoking conversation about class, opportunity, and the silent pressures behind success. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
