Sugar Daddy vs. Foreign Aid
In this episode, we invite you to listen closely as we sit down with a young Sierra Leonean changemaker, Foday Bangura, to explore the complex realities of foreign aid dependency in Africa.
While the title “Sugar Daddy vs. Foreign Aid” is provocative, the conversation is deeply thoughtful. Together, we unpack the double standards around financial dependency: why society easily accepts personal financial relationships, yet harshly criticizes nations that receive aid. Through this lens, we examine what it means to be on the receiving end of help, the systems that reinforce dependency, and the hidden power dynamics at play, both in personal lives and between nations.
Tune in for an honest, challenging perspective on foreign aid, independence, and the future of African self-determination.
