I am thrilled to have Damilola Odufuwa and Ire Aderinokun Co-Founders of the Nigerian Feminist Coalition as my guests today.

If you are following the developments in Africa, then you have heard of the #EndSARS movement. A protest movement against police brutality in Nigeria. When the central bank banned the Nigerian Feminist Coalition from using the traditional financial infrastructure to collect donations, they started using Bitcoin to fund their activities. Let’s hear from Dami and Ire how they did that and how the current situation looks like.

Topics:

How they found Bitcoin
Main characteristics of Nigeria
Economical situation
Financial inclusion
Women’s rights and their financial situation
Human rights, gay rights
How they used bitcoin for their donations
Bitcoin use-cases in Nigeria
The Future of Bitcoin in Africa
