Episode 3: Toonna Obi-Okoye – Nigeria

This episode, I speak with Toonna Obi-Okoye, a Nigerian living in Edmonton. He works in IT but what he really wanted to talk to me about were his passions for film and music. During our interview, Toonna describes his childhood in Nigeria and teaches us a bit about the three main tribes of the nation. We chat about hip-hop and the musical influence of Nigerian afro-beat, Bollywood, and the difficulties that creatives stumble upon in Nigeria. We also touch a bit upon the 419 internet scam and the effects of oil & gas in Nigeria.
