Narcos Nigeria: Drug Lords in the Legislature

We examine the alleged relationship between drugs lords and some Nigerian power players …….did we say alleged? Well just in case we didn’t, allegedly.

This week is a rerun of one of out most played episodes on The Dirty Lie Podcast; it has politics, drugs, and corruption.

Did a Nigerian lawmaker's (alleged) criminal empire inspire Netflix's first blockbuster, Orange is the New Black?  Were Nigerian lawmakers caught with their pants down on an official trip to the United States? And which Nigerian woman inspired the US Drug Enforcement Agency to work with multiple countries in a bid to bring down her heroin empire? 

 

This Weeks figures: Senator Buruji Kashamu, James F. Entwistle, Marion Barry.
