On this episode of Mizter Rad Show, Eche Emole joins Mizter Rad to discuss the birth of a new African nation called Afropolitan. The conversation revolves around the idea of building a network state and creating a community of like-minded individuals who buy into the vision.

Eche Emole emphasizes the need for Africa to create its own solutions and think globally, drawing inspiration from historical examples like the Israeli state. They discuss the challenges faced by African nations, such as currency devaluation and poor government management, and propose using technology to bypass traditional financial institutions and empower those who are currently locked out of opportunities.
