In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explores what Jagun Jagun (a 2023 Netflix film) reveals about power, honor, fear, and Yoruba memory. Why do some leaders inspire loyalty while others only command obedience? What is the difference between being feared and being respected? And how do Yoruba proverbs help us understand the kind of power that protects, nurtures, and endures? Through the lens of this landmark Yoruba-language epic, Bidemi reflects on leadership, pride, cultural identity, and the wisdom preserved in storytelling.
