In this fiery and reflective episode of Truth and Tensions, we unpack the popular Nigerian proverb, “The patient dog eats the fattest bone,” and ask—does it really? Or is the patient dog just being starved while everyone else feasts?

We dive deep into how this ideology has shaped the lives of women, especially under the weight of patriarchy. From being told to “wait your turn” to watching others thrive while playing by different rules, we explore how patience, silence, and endurance have been weaponized against women in relationships, careers, and societal expectations.

Expect hot takes, laughter, truth bombs, and as always—some tensions.

Tune in for a ride!
