TODAY IN GLOBAL HEALTH | Society, Power and the Culture of Oppression
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
On this episode of Today in Global Health, Oluwakayode and Dr. Ikechukwu Ngwaba examine how the average Nigerian navigates society within systems often shaped by power imbalance and authority.
The conversation explores the culture of oppression — from everyday interactions to institutional structures — and how power, when unchecked, can influence behavior, access, and outcomes in health and beyond. They unpack how societal conditioning, hierarchy, and governance intersect to affect both service delivery and lived experience.
Reflective and incisive, this episode goes beyond health to interrogate the social dynamics that shape well-being, dignity, and equity in Nigeria.
