Hot Seat: The Politics of Explaining Economic Reform

Описание: 🎙️ Drinks & Mics – Season 2, Episode 22

This week… we stepped slightly outside our comfort zone.
Odikwa risky? Probably
Necessary? Absolutely.

We pushed beyond our usual production lane and committed as a team not to duck the hard questions. No soft landings. No polite detours. If the conversation needed to get uncomfortable, we let it.

No guts. No glory.

Our guest was *Otega “The Tiger” Ogra, SSA to President Tinubu on Digital Communication*. And true to form, he came ready. Calm. Prepared. Unflinching.

This is one of those episodes you settle into on a Friday evening as Lagos gears up for the Marathon, and others prepare for Valentine’s Day and let it play properly.

🎯 This Week’s Focus
Hot seat - the Politics of Explaining Economics Reform

🔥 Our Spartans This Week

• Otega “The Tiger” Ogra — Taking stray bullets comes with the office. The shield? Always within reach.
• Arnold Dublin Green — The female followership is rising. The suits are swankier. Correlation? We’re still investigating.
• *Tunji Andrews*— Have you noticed he only wears white these days? Only rich men attempt that level of confidence. Stainless behaviour.
• Ugodre — Fully evolved into chief devil’s advocate. He questions the obvious, pushes the angle, and refuses easy answers. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

🙏 Big shout-out to our partners
The colourful Dictador Gamechanger bottles and 21-Year Glenfiddich kept the conversation flowing and the throats properly lubricated. To UAC Foods for making sure hydration and balance were handled with clean spring water.
And yes… we’re about to sign another corporate sponsor.

Spartans — it’s time.
