A GENTLE REBUKE TO CARDINAL DOLAN BY SISTERS OF CHARITY OF NEW YORK | Boring Conversations | Ep. 98

The Sisters of Charity of New York issued a gentle but firm rebuke to Cardinal Timothy Dolan after his public praise of Charlie Kirk as a “modern-day St. Paul.” In their statement, the Sisters reminded the Church that sainthood is measured not by divisive rhetoric but by service, compassion, and love of neighbour, citing the legacy of their foundress, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Their response raises important questions about faith, leadership, and the true meaning of discipleship in today’s Church.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

Nigeria Has Low Quality Elites | Boring Conversations | Ep. 97

In this episode, I reflect on a post by Nigerian writer Ikenna Okeh, who said Nigeria has “low quality elites.” I explore what that means — how our wealthy too often chase status instead of building schools, libraries, or culture — and why true leadership should be about investing in the future, not just showing off wealth.Stay connected and never miss an episode.

Education and Access to Books in Nigeria | Boring Conversations | Ep. 96

In this episode, I take a hard look at the state of libraries in Nigeria. I reflect on the irony of a First Lady’s birthday donation campaign for a National Library building that has been under construction for years, and what that says about our national priorities. At stake is access to knowledge, education, and the future of literacy itself. Stay connected and never miss an episode.
