In 2018, Nigerian lawyer and politician Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan publicly announced her intentions to run for a seat in the Nigerian Senate, representing the people of Kogi Central. What began as a journey to advocate for laws favoring industrialization in the country led to years of political intimidation, gender bias, and violence for her.
This episode explores Natasha's turbulent journey to becoming Kogi State's first woman senator. It also sheds light on how Nigeria's constitution grants women the right to run for office, but in reality, the experience is painful and difficult.
