In this conversation, I talked with a jolly Standup Comedian and a Social Commentator from Nigeria; Collins AKA ‘MECOYO’. I’m a big fan of comedy. It’s entertaining and an avenue to set important public and social issues straight in a subtle, funny manner while educating the audience.

Collins is excellent at hitting these marks of entertainment and education. We discussed several important issues facing Nigeria in particular and Africa in general; governance, leadership, education, etc. and I had a lot of laughs.
