The Olodo Uprising🤪

There is a name for something you have been watching happen for years. The Olodo Uprising — a slow cultural shift away from intellectualism and toward the celebration of stupidity — has been building in Nigeria's music, comedy, governance, and everyday life. In this episode, Koke traces how it started, why it has thrived, and why the people who can see it most clearly are also the ones making it harder to reverse. The answer, it turns out, is not anger. It is empathy — and a deliberate choice about what you make cool.
