Summary

What happens when the people with the biggest platforms stay quiet during crisis? David Olayimika sits with Spike and Mirabel in this episode, to break down the ongoing debate about celebrity and religious responsibility in Nigeria’s insecurity crisis, and whether speaking up is an obligation or personal choice. Do celebrities and pastors have a responsibility to speak during national crises, or is society placing unfair expectations on them? Finally, we question how attention has become more valuable than intelligence, and why entertainment culture may be killing us as a society.
