We talk about how the northern morality police (Hisbah) turns a blind eye to "sins" of the rich but harass the poor when they commit the same "sins". Then we move on to whether or not religious rules and doctrines should evolve as the world does....which then leads us to discover that "thou shall not fornicate" is not part of the 10 Commandments. Does that give you a pass even though the Bible says your body is His temple?2021-08-1040 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 92 - The Hushpuppi & Abba Kyari EntanglementNigerian Police Officer, DCP Abba Kyari became extremely famous recently for all the wrong reasons.

Where is the sense in that?2021-07-0838 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 83 - Dangers of the "culture of respect" in NigeriaBasically in Nigeria, it is a big deal to call out an elder for going out of line.

In a different matter, since the Baba Ijesha child defilement scandal broke, the men of the Yoruba movie industry have been silent except when called out or defending the human rights of Baba Ijesha (the alleged rapist). This is how rape culture is maintained, when calls for justice for the rapist seem louder than calls for justice for the victim. 2021-05-1139 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 66 - Ride or Die (Yandy & Mendeecees)We had to conclude the Baba Ijesha story in this episode as Efe made a statement in the last episode that most women will not date or take advantage of a man or boy younger than 18. We had to correct that, as many boys are also sexually abused at a young age.
In other news, Love and Hip Hop stars, Yandy and Mendeecees were trending recently.

Information from his past had surfaced, where he came across as being sympathetic towards terrorism. Many Nigerians feel he should resign because he holds a position that is sensitive to national security and Nigeria is facing a never ending battle with the terrorist group called Boko Haram. Others say all these extremist sentiments are in his past and he is a changed man now. Cancel him or let him stay on as minister?

2021-04-2039 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 60 - Inappropriate OutfitsIn Nigeria, many people see it as their duty to be the dress code police. They go as far as enforcing their standards on strangers. While this is wrong, is it wrong to call someone out when you feel they are insulting your religion with their outfit?
Last week, Nigerian businesswoman, Toyin Lawani, posted photos of herself in an unconventional, very revealing and sexy nun outfit. A lot of Christians were upset with her and took offense claiming that she could never do that with a Muslim attire. On the same light, a picture of a...2021-04-1535 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 59 - DMX, Senseless Kids & Giving Rides to the Opposite SexSo much to talk about from DMX's death to the dangers of giving frequent rides to the opposite sex when you are married or in a relationship. 2021-04-1339 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 58 - Easter HolidayDo Nigerian churches do the most with their events calendar? They seem to be against families spending quality time with each other during holidays, the long Easter weekend being one of them.
In other church news, some pastors have been strongly advising their congregation against taking the Covid-19 vaccine. The pastor that has been on this table is Pastor Chris of Christ Embassy. Unfortunately the information he was passing on a live broadcast didn't seat well in the UK and he has been fined £125k pounds for spreading mis-information.

In this video, he addressed the world seated with his wife and proceeded to answer questions (also with his wife's moral support) on his Instagram live. On the days following this controversial video and Instagram live session, his wife released two videos on her own Instagram account, reacting to the comments she received and Derrick himself released another video reacting to his own video.

We saw this recently when a restaurant owner, Denike Balogun of Cafe de Flore had an issue with a customer, Masidat Kassim. The customer, a business owner herself, dedicated her Instagram page to dragging the restaurant owner until she was refunded for the service she paid for which she didn't receive.

Your spouse or your mother/family?2021-03-1635 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 50 - Micro-penisThis week's questions are from real life stories that were posted on DANG's (Diary of a Nigerian Girl) Instagram page. The first story was a lady narrating how she cheated on her husband. What we noticed in the comment section is the fact that she was judged pretty leniently in comparison to when a story is posted with the man cheating. That brought about the question; as 21st century women, are we more lenient on women when they cheat vs. when men cheat?
The second story was of another lady who found out her husband had a...2021-03-1140 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 49 - Should a man voice his opinion on how long his wife should breastfeed their child for?Social media was on fire last week when a young couple let us in on their argument about how long their child should be breast fed for.

According to the pastor, he needed the funds to fulfil his covenant with God.
Is it okay to scam a fellow human being just to fulfil a covenant you made with God? Do we create covenants with God that he isn't a part of? Will God really ask you to borrow money to fulfil a covenant to him?2021-03-0439 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 47 - Should fans get tattoos of their fav celebrities?Should fans get tattoos of their fav celebrities? This has been a trend in Nigeria where fans get tattoos of their fav celebrities and in return, the celebrities recognize the fans or even go as far as giving them monetary gifts. Recently, Ka3na from Big Brother Nigeria was in the news this week when a fan tattooed her name and rather than respond in a welcoming manner, she bashed the fan...unleashing social media outrage.

Is it in a man's nature to cheat or it is simply a lack of self discipline and a bad behaviour that has been made normal by our society? 2021-02-1839 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 43 - Lekki Toll Gate ProtestsHappy Valentine's Day/Weekend/Week from the lovely ladies of BBP!
On this episode, we discuss the recent protests following the re-opening of the Lekki Toll Gate for commercial activity. As with the October 2020 protests, which led to the pause in commercial activities at the Lekki Toll Gate, the Nigerian government's handling of these recent protests seem to be tone deaf to the needs of the people the government aims to serve. 2021-02-1640 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 42 - KayanmataIs Kayanmata juju (a charm) or just herbs, perfumes and spices that aid sexual pleasure? If it is juju, why is it now comfortably marketed on social media?
The most popular reasons for using Kayanmata revolves around men; keeping a man, snatching a man, pleasing a man, getting financial favour from a man e.t.c.

If you find yourself in that situation, would you understand the difficulties associated with publicizing non-heterosexual sexuality and stick with him or would you feel betrayed and leave?

Social media went up in flames because she apparently was driving a 2008 Camry (the car she had the accident in) and social media feels like Wizkid should have gotten her a better car since he is so rich.
So that begs the question - should a baby daddy spend money on his kid alone or should the baby mama be financially catered for as well?2021-01-1239 minThe Black Bra PodcastBBP | EP 32 - Cheating wife causes husband's heartbreak and deathA few weeks ago, Nigerian bank, FCMB, got dragged on twitter for allowing an extramarital affair happen between two employees which lead to the death of the female employee's husband. The employee's husband's friend, who narrated the story, blamed the wife (FCMB employee) for breaking his friends heart, causing his heart attack and death. Should FCMB, the wife who stepped out or the second employee (an MD in the bank) involved, be blamed?
We also touch on the controversies behind 25th December as the chosen date for Jesus's birthday.
