Listen "The Wahala of Courtesy - It's Not Common, It's Cultural"
Episode Synopsis
Is courtesy really common—or is it cultural? This week’s Wednesday Wahala dives into the everyday rules of respect that can turn into big debates. From whether you should answer the door when someone knocks, to the “shoes off” policy in your home, to how greetings shape relationships—Abby and Uchenna unpack how culture defines courtesy.We share personal stories, global traditions, and the hilarious (and sometimes tense) ways these expectations play out in Nigerian households, American living rooms, and multicultural marriages. Whether it’s being side-eyed for not greeting every elder at a party, or being labeled “unwelcoming” for asking guests to remove their shoes, this episode asks: Who really gets to decide what’s respectful?Plus, in this week’s Praise Report, we celebrate Damola Adamolekun—the Nigerian-American executive blazing trails as the youngest CEO of Red Lobster Investor Holdings. And in What We’re Digging, we spotlight Nigeria’s brand-new eVisa system—a surprisingly smooth update that just might change how you travel back home.✨ Tune in for laughter, real talk, and some cultural “aha” moments that will have you rethinking the little things we all call manners.
