We know, Teachers’ Day was October 5th. But this conversation? Timeless.
In this Teachers’ Day Special, I speak with two incredible educators shaping minds across borders. We talk about teaching abroad, the cultural nuances of education, and why being an educator is both rewarding and relentless.
It’s a heartfelt, unfiltered look at the people who make learning possible, no matter where in the world they teach.
Because teachers deserve their flowers every day, not just once a year.

Season 3 starts here.
I'm peeling back the layers: survivor's guilt, the weight of living abroad, and what to expect from The Nigerian Abroad Podcast this season.

In this episode, we explore a common yet frustrating experience for Nigerians abroad—the constant need to prove that we speak English fluently. Despite English being Nigeria’s official language, many of us still face surprise, skepticism, and even backhanded compliments like, “Wow, you’re so articulate!” We discuss accent discrimination, the awkward encounters at immigration, and the pressure to sound “more Western” in professional settings.
Why do people assume all Africans speak “African”? Why is fluency in English still tied to race or geography? Through personal stories and laughter, we unpack these biases and what they reveal about global perceptions of Africa.
Have you ever been told, “You speak so well,” as if it were unexpected? Share your experiences in the comments! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow us for more conversations on the Nigerian experience abroad.
New year, same us... or is it? In this episode, we reflect on the past year; the highs, the lows, and the lessons. We talk about what has changed, what hasn't, and what's next in our lives. Tune in for some honest conversations, a little bit of laughter, and maybe even some unexpected resolutions!
In this episode, Ijay and Dami share food and drinks with their friends as they talk about Christmas and what it means to them as Nigerians. Sit back and enjoy.
