Nigeria has entered a new tax era — and many people are confused, worried, or misinformed.

In this first episode of Season 2, We discuss what tax is, why governments tax citizens, how Nigeria’s old tax system worked, and what the new tax laws really mean for young Nigerians, employees, business owners, and the general public.

We also address common misconceptions, the public uproar surrounding the reform, and how tax policy affects trust, governance, and politics in Nigeria. This episode isn’t about defending or attacking the government — it’s about understanding the system that affects us all.

In this episode, we take a deep and honest look at Nigeria’s long-standing issues around tribalism, ethnic politics, and national unity. We explore the big question: Are Nigeria’s divisions truly rooted in tribalism, or are they the result of deliberate political, historical, and systemic actions?

Using the Nnamdi Kanu case as a major reference point, we examine how ethnicity, justice, and state power collide in modern Nigeria. We also discuss the recent killings of Christians and how religious violence continues to influence fear, bias, and the sense of belonging for different groups.

To provide context, we revisit the Nigerian Civil War — its causes, its long-term effects, and how its unresolved wounds still shape conversations about marginalization, identity, and distrust today.

This episode goes beyond opinions. It connects history, present-day insecurity, governance, and inter-ethnic relationships to paint a clearer picture of why Nigerians often feel divided — and what it means for the country’s future.

In this episode of Beyond the Norms, we dive into one of the most unspoken but relatable realities in Nigerian homes — the entitlement mentality of parents and the heavy expectations placed on their children.

From the “we trained you, now it’s your turn” mindset to the pressure on fresh graduates to start providing for the entire family, we unpack where these beliefs come from, why they persist, and how they shape the lives of young Nigerians today.

It’s honest, raw, and necessary — a conversation about love, obligation, guilt, and finding boundaries in family relationships.
