Le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud sont deux puissances africaines, deux moteurs de la zone de libre-échange continentale. Mais aujourd'hui leurs relations sont au plus bas. Abuja accuse Pretoria de xénophobie et de mauvais traitements envers ses ressortissants. À Lagos et à Enugu, des rapatriés témoignent au micro de nos correspondants.

The principal accusations against Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Moshood Jimoh, who leads the Zone 2 Command in Lagos, revolve around corruption, evidence manipulation, and violations of human rights.The main charges were presented in late July and early August 2026 by social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, commonly referred to as VeryDarkMan (VDM).VDM claimed that AIG Jimoh interfered with the investigations into two notable homicides in the Ajiran/Eti-Osa region of Lagos—the 2023 killing of Sheriff Salami and the 2024 murder of Prince Ademola Akinloye.The activist accused AIG Jimoh of colluding with a businessman to falsely accuse and frame another individual, Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi, for these murders. VDM contended that initial confessions from suspects did not mention Akanbi, but later statements that connected him to the crimes were allegedly obtained through severe coercion and torture by officers under Jimoh's authority.Further intensifying the scrutiny, civil society organizations such as the #EndBadGovernance Movement (Lagos Chapter) issued public statements calling for Jimoh's suspension. They argue that the Ajiran case is merely a fragment of a larger, persistent pattern of human rights abuses, police brutality, and misuse of power throughout his career.The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has initiated administrative measures to address these allegations, although they stress that no guilt has been determined in a court of law.The NPF confirmed that the Assistant Inspector-General overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) has officially summoned AIG Moshood Jimoh for questioning as part of an internal administrative inquiry.The FCID has also formally invited VDM to come to Abuja to validate his claims and present his documentary evidence. Initially, VDM resisted the invitation, insisting on an independent investigative panel rather than a conventional police review, citing concerns over potential bias.The police have reiterated that the actual murder case is currently before a court and remains sub judice. They have cautioned against any interference with the ongoing legal proceedings. Jimoh was born on August 10, 1971, in Ilorin. He joined the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as a cadet officer on May 1, 2000. Throughout his career, which spans over twenty years, he has progressed through various key operational and administrative roles.

Air Canada has officially commenced the regulatory process to establish its inaugural direct, scheduled flights to Lagos, Nigeria, with a target launch window set for 2027. This strategic initiative follows the landmark signing of an expanded Bilateral Air Transport Agreement (BASA) between the Government of Canada and the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Abuja on August 6, 2026.The newly negotiated framework enhances a restrictive 2014 agreement that previously confined cooperation solely to codeshare services via intermediate third-country hubs.Air Canada is diligently collaborating with aviation authorities in both nations to obtain standard foreign operator permits, safety certifications, and slot allocations prior to the formal publication of commercial schedules. Specific flight frequencies, precise departure hubs (such as Toronto Pearson or Montréal-Trudeau), ticketing timelines, and aircraft types (typically long-haul widebodies like the Boeing 777 or 787 Dreamliner) will be disclosed in due course once the necessary clearances navigate through the regulatory process.The route aims to meet a high-volume demand corridor fueled by the rapid growth of the Nigerian diaspora in Canada, which includes over 25,000 Nigerian students holding valid Canadian study permits.Currently, passengers traveling from Nigeria to Canada by air must utilize international airlines that involve a layover in Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.

Send us Fan MailA packed movie theater can tell you more about culture than a hundred hot takes. We went out with our kids and their friends to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day at Silverbird Cinemas in Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja, and walked straight into a sold-out crowd that felt like a carnival. Costumes, big reactions, constant side commentary, and that electric group energy made one thing obvious: youth culture is not “coming someday” it's happening right now, in public, and it spreads through shared stories people can't stop talking about afterward.We reflect on why Spider-Man stays so sticky across generations, from comic book memories to the modern Marvel Universe's worldbuilding and plot craft. We also pay attention to the small signals that shape conversations later, like what people wear, how they act in groups, and even the tech details fans notice and debate. Watching the room react scene by scene becomes its own kind of lesson in storytelling, identity, and belonging.The biggest takeaway lands on parenting and guardianship. Being protective matters, but showing up matters too. We talk about going with your kids to their events, knowing their friends, staying close enough to guide, and stepping back enough to let them breathe. If you want better talks, safer outings, and a stronger family bond during summer break, start by sharing real spaces and real time. Subscribe, share this with a parent or guardian, and leave a review so more families can find the conversation.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

The United States Department of State will officially cease routine processing of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas at its embassy in Abuja, along with 24 other African diplomatic missions, starting August 1, 2026.This operational consolidation will shift routine visa applications to 20 centralized regional processing hubs to improve national security vetting, optimize government resources, and create uniform vetting standards as established during the Trump administration.Embassies and consulates that will lose their routine visa processing capabilities include: Abuja (Nigeria) Antananarivo (Madagascar) Asmara (Eritrea) Bamako (Mali) Banjul (The Gambia) Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo) Bujumbura (Burundi) Conakry (Guinea) Cotonou (Benin) Durban (South Africa) Freetown (Sierra Leone) Gaborone (Botswana) Harare (Zimbabwe) Juba (South Sudan) Libreville (Gabon) Lilongwe (Malawi) Lusaka (Zambia) Maputo (Mozambique) Maseru (Lesotho) Mbabane (Eswatini) N'Djamena (Chad) Niamey (Niger) Nouakchott (Mauritania) Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) Windhoek (Namibia)However, applicants residing in countries with affected missions will need to travel to one of the 20 designated regional hubs for interviews and visa issuance. Notable processing hubs include: Region Designated Active Processing Hubs West Africa Lagos (Nigeria), Accra (Ghana), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Dakar (Senegal), Lome (Togo), Monrovia (Liberia), Praia (Cape Verde) East & Central Africa Nairobi (Kenya), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Kampala (Uganda), Kigali (Rwanda), Kinshasa (DRC), Yaoundé (Cameroon), Djibouti Southern Africa Johannesburg (South Africa), Cape Town (South Africa), Luanda (Angola) Other Hubs Dar-Es-Salaam (Tanzania), Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), Port Louis (Mauritius).It is important to note that no diplomatic posts are being closed. Affected missions will continue to provide American Citizen Services (ACS) and carry out local diplomatic functions.Additionally, visas that have already been issued will remain fully valid and will not be impacted by this consolidation.Beginning on August 1, 2026, individuals applying from non-hub countries will be required to pay their Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fees and schedule appointments directly via the portal of their assigned regional hub.Responses to the U.S. decision to cease routine visa processing at 25 diplomatic posts throughout Africa, effective August 1, 2026, include criticism regarding the rise in travel expenses , apprehensions about exacerbating existing backlogs, and justifications of the policy as a necessary security measure.Experts in international mobility and various critics contend that this consolidation serves as a covert strategy to impede legal immigration, further intensifying the already lengthy multi-year wait times for interviews.Business and trade organizations emphasize that this transition introduces considerable transactional barriers and additional costs for cross-border talent and corporate mobility.

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja has mandated the definitive forfeiture of 48 properties, which include Rayhaan University. Located in Birnin Kebbi, associated with former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to the Federal Government.The decision comes in response to a civil forfeiture petition submitted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The anti-corruption agency demonstrated that the assets were reasonably believed to be the proceeds of illegal activities.Justice Abdulmalik rejected multiple applications and claims of ownership presented by Malami, his relatives, and affiliated companies. The judge highlighted that the matter before the court was not about the ownership of the properties, but rather the legitimacy of the funds utilized to acquire them.The court's ruling was made under Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act. It concluded that the respondents did not provide evidence that the assets were obtained through lawful means of income.The EFCC had previously obtained an interim forfeiture order in January 2026 for 57 properties valued at ₦212.8 billion. In the final ruling, the court annulled the interim order for some of the assets, confirming the permanent forfeiture of 48 properties.Abubakar Malami, who held the position of Nigeria's Chief Law Officer from 2015 to 2023 during the Muhammadu Buhari administration, is also facing distinct criminal charges. These charges include a trial for ₦8.7 billion in money laundering and abuse of office involving his wife, Bashir Asabe, and his son, Abdulaziz Malami.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with software engineer and entrepreneur Arowolo Muritadhor for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from agriculture and manufacturing in Nigeria to the evolving role of crypto in the country's economy. They touch on how hyperinflation, particularly the naira's dramatic drop in 2023, pushed Nigerians toward stablecoins as a practical savings tool, and how informal kiosk networks have stepped in where traditional banking infrastructure falls short. The conversation also covers the tension between government regulation and the permissionless nature of blockchain technology, comparisons between the decline of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic dominance, the role of mobile payments in Africa, language learning, and whether AI agents have any real utility in crypto infrastructure yet. You can connect with Arowolo on LinkedIn and X at @armolas_06.Timestamps00:00 - Host welcomes Arowolo Muritadhor, introducing topics of software engineering and animal food production in Nigeria.05:00 - Discussion shifts to manufacturing, components assembly, and China's dominance in low-cost production globally.10:00 - Conversation explores crypto adoption in Nigeria as a network state phenomenon, separating informed users from mainstream population.15:00 - Mobile payments and kiosk ATM replacements emerge as critical financial infrastructure bridging unbanked Nigerians.20:00 - Roman Empire parallels drawn to modern crypto taxation, government control, and inevitable death-and-taxes reality.25:00 - Bitcoin and Ethereum permissionless nature debated against government wallet-level censorship vulnerabilities.30:00 - AI agents examined as crypto infrastructure tools, revealing mostly trading bots rather than foundational builders.35:00 - Nigeria's 2023 naira collapse compared to Argentina's hyperinflation, driving citizens toward stablecoin dollar savings.40:00 - US Treasury history unpacked through FDR gold confiscation and Nixon ending convertibility, paralleling empire decline.45:00 - Crypto reframed as anti-bank rather than purely anti-government, enabling freedom through immutable accountability.50:00 - Transparent blockchain ledgers discussed as potential government accountability tools across democracy, republic, and oligarchy structures.Key Insights1. Nigeria has a significant divide between its northern and southern regions in terms of economic activity. The north, centered around Abuja, is more agricultural with substantial cattle production, while Lagos in the south functions as a dense urban and commercial hub. This geographic and economic split shapes how different financial tools and technologies are adopted across the country.2. China's dominance in low-cost manufacturing has made it nearly impossible for countries like Nigeria, the United States, or Argentina to compete on price alone. The more realistic path for developing economies is to import components and focus on local assembly and creativity, which is where meaningful economic participation becomes possible.3. Crypto adoption in Nigeria accelerated dramatically around 2023 when the naira experienced a sharp devaluation against the US dollar. Before that point, saving in dollars was difficult for many Nigerians, especially those without formal bank accounts, making stablecoins like USDT an attractive and practical alternative for preserving wealth.4. Informal kiosk operators in Nigeria have organically become a substitute for ATMs, giving communities access to basic financial services where traditional banking infrastructure does not reach. This grassroots financial layer is now a key entry point for integrating crypto and stablecoin payments into everyday commerce.5. Governments are increasingly trying to regulate crypto at the wallet and centralized exchange level, using tax compliance as a primary mechanism. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain largely permissionless, the practical chokepoints for most users remain centralized platforms where identity and transactions can be monitored.6. The historical parallel between the fall of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic and geopolitical power offers a useful frame for understanding why crypto matters. Just as Rome debased its currency and struggled to sustain imperial costs, the US faces mounting debt and a financialized economy that may accelerate dollar instability and push more people toward alternative stores of value.7. One genuinely constructive use case for blockchain beyond speculation is immutable accountability, particularly for public institutions and prediction markets. A transparent ledger that governments or officials voluntarily adopt could create verifiable records of decisions and promises, reducing corruption and increasing trust in ways that traditional governance structures have struggled to achieve.

Ce sommet Afrique-France qui se tient à Nairobi « est une occasion de renforcer la coopération franco-africaine », titre le journal kenyan Daily Nation, qui rappelle que « c'est la première fois que ce sommet, créé en 1973, se tient dans un pays anglophone. » L'économie sera au cœur de cet événement, avec des objectifs de partenariats dans différents domaines, tels que les technologies numériques, le financement climatique ou encore le développement des infrastructures.  D'après le Daily Nation, c'est une aubaine pour Nairobi sur le plan international : « le Kenya explorera des pistes d'accord pour consolider ses relations commerciales avec la France, dans une démarche qui semble clairement viser à attirer davantage d'investissements directs étrangers », analyse le journal, qui se réjouit par ailleurs de « la confiance accordée à Nairobi sur la scène diplomatique internationale ». Du point de vue de Paris, « le sommet devrait aussi contribuer à dissiper l'idée selon laquelle l'ancienne puissance coloniale, accusée d'exploiter les nations africaines francophones, chercherait aujourd'hui à conquérir de nouveaux territoires à son seul profit », conclut le Daily Nation. À lire aussiAfrica Forward à Nairobi, un sommet coorganisé par Kenya et France à l'accent très économique L'opposition à ce sommet est bien présente The Standard, autre média kenyan, évoque des manifestations et notamment un contre-sommet parallèle, organisé à Nairobi par les organisations de la société civile, qui qualifient Africa Forward de « tentative de la France de réinstaurer une influence néocoloniale ». « Le sommet France-Afrique n'est ni un geste de bonne volonté, ni une plateforme de partenariat égalitaire. Il s'agit d'une offensive de recolonisation impérialiste rebaptisée », dénonce l'organisateur du contre-sommet, cité dans les lignes du journal.  Les nouvelles ambitions de Paris à Nairobi intriguent aussi le Djely, à Conakry, qui s'interroge : « L'Afrique anglophone suffira-t-elle au bonheur de la France ? » « Ces changements sont en partie dictés par les déboires que la France a connus ces dernières années en Afrique. Ce sont surtout les crises essuyées par Paris au Sahel ainsi que dans des pays comme le Sénégal ou le Tchad qui ont accéléré cette dynamique débouchant sur l'organisation d'Africa Forward », estime le média guinéen.  « Il est difficile de ne pas voir, dans cette nouvelle politique africaine de la France, une volonté de s'extirper de l'inextricable débat mémoriel hérité du passé colonial avec les pays francophones », poursuit le Djely. « La France pourra-t-elle réellement compenser la perte de son ancien pré carré ? Rien n'est moins sûr, selon le journal, car s'il est vrai que les relations entre Paris et des capitales comme Abuja ou Pretoria se sont renforcées ces dernières années, la France accuse néanmoins un retard considérable face à ses concurrents, notamment chinois et indiens. » « Dans quelques années, il sera possible d'évaluer cette évolution qui n'en est encore qu'à ses débuts, rappelle le Djely. Mais, pour l'heure, on y voit moins un changement qu'un déménagement. » Maurice Freund, le fou volant du Sahel, s'est éteint C'est le titre d'un article d'Afrik.com, qui rend hommage au fondateur de l'agence de voyage Point-Afrique, décédé le 9 mai dernier, à l'âge de 83 ans. « Surnommé le "fou volant" du Sahara, pionnier du voyage solidaire, il aura passé sa vie à désenclaver les marges sahéliennes, raconte le média, qui confie perdre aussi un soutien fidèle de ses premières années. » « Depuis les débuts du site, Maurice Freund nous avait soutenus. Il répondait présent lorsqu'il fallait comprendre le Sahel autrement que depuis Paris. Il parlait franchement, corrigeait, contredisait, obligeait à vérifier. Sa connaissance du terrain, parfois rugueuse, nous a aidés à mieux regarder cette région que tant de commentateurs découvrent seulement lorsqu'elle brûle », poursuit Afrik.com, racontant ensuite que l'homme « pouvait être abrupt, autoritaire, parfois impossible à suivre. Mais ceux qui l'ont accompagné ne l'ont jamais regretté. Il avait chez lui une fidélité obstinée aux hommes du désert, conclut le site, et les distinctions lui importaient moins que la reconnaissance des équipes locales. » À lire aussiMaurice Freund - Episode 2: «Momo l'Africain»

Six civils devant la Haute Cour d'Abuja, 36 officiers supérieurs devant la cour martiale du Nigeria, tous poursuivis pour avoir fomenté le putsch manqué de fin d'année dernière. Cette tentative de coup d'État contre le président Bola Tinubu en octobre 2025 avait d'abord été démentie par Abuja et l'armée nigériane, avant que les autorités ne finissent pas l'admettre en ce début d'année. Le procès des accusés civils a commencé en début de semaine (lundi), celui des militaires s'ouvre ce vendredi 8 mai devant une cour martiale spécialement créée pour l'occasion.  Qui sont véritablement ces hommes ? Que s'est-il vraiment passé en octobre 2025 ? Et pourquoi la présidence a tout fait pour cacher cette tentative de putsch ? Jibrin Ibrahim, chercheur principal au Centre pour la démocratie et le développement d'Abuja, est l'invité de Sidy Yansané.   RFI : Revenons un peu en arrière, tout d'abord, au moment de la tentative de putsch d'octobre dernier. L'armée nigériane avait démenti l'existence même de cette tentative, avant de la reconnaître trois mois plus tard. Pourquoi, selon vous ? Jibrin Ibrahim : Pour un régime au pouvoir, parler d'une possibilité de coup d'État est quelque chose d'inquiétant. Le régime au départ ne voulait pas parler de cette tentative, mais par la suite il s'est senti piégé : s'il ne parle pas, qu'allait-il faire des suspects ? Je pense que c'était un peu ça la problématique. Pour l'instant, le bilan sécuritaire du président Bola Tinubu est, on peut dire, assez mauvais. L'attaque de Jos, des explosions coordonnées à Maiduguri, l'armée américaine qui s'autorise à bombarder le territoire nigérian... Cacher cette tentative de putsch, c'est cacher peut-être aussi un malaise au sein de l'appareil sécuritaire au Nigeria ? Absolument ! Dans l'histoire récente du Nigeria, l'état de la sécurité n'a jamais été aussi grave. Les attaques par les terroristes, par les bandits ou les groupes qui revendiquent une lutte politique sont à peu près partout dans le pays, et tout le monde s'interroge : où est l'État et où sont les forces de sécurité ? C'est une situation très inquiétante pour les Nigérians et tout le monde se demande si l'État est vraiment capable de protéger ses citoyens. À lire aussiNigeria: une quarantaine d'éleveurs peuls tués par des miliciens nigérians et béninois Une cour martiale a été mise en place spécialement pour juger les 36 officiers accusés. Dans un pays fortement militarisé, qui a connu plusieurs coups d'État il y  25 ans, pourquoi est-ce seulement maintenant qu'une telle cour est créée ? On ne sait pas vraiment puisque le gouvernement s'est efforcé de dissimuler ce putsch avorté. Jusqu'à présent, beaucoup s'interrogent sur la véracité des informations données par Abuja. On espère qu'avec cette cour martiale et le procès des civils qui vient de commencer, on pourra en apprendre un peu plus sur ce qui s'est passé. Mais pour moi, le gouvernement est inquiet, cette histoire est quelque chose qui est difficile à gérer pour lui. Pour une raison toute simple : le coup d'État est de nouveau tendance en Afrique de l'Ouest, beaucoup de pays en ont souffert récemment. L'idée du putsch grandit au Nigeria et c'est ça le problème de fond : si on en parle, est-ce qu'on l'encourage ? Si on n'en parle pas, quels sont les risques ? Les suspects poursuivis peuvent-ils reprendre leurs tentatives ? C'est une situation très difficile pour le gouvernement et ça se voit. Il y a beaucoup d'hésitations, de doutes et de difficultés pour être clair et net sur la situation. D'ailleurs, peu après la tentative de putsch, Bola Tinubu a complètement modifié son état-major dans l'armée. Est-ce que selon vous, il s'agissait d'une simple réorganisation, parce qu'il y a quand même 36 personnes poursuivies ? Ou alors vraiment d'une réforme en profondeur, sachant qu'on est à moins d'un an de la présidentielle ? Je pense que le président veut s'assurer le maximum de sécurité personnelle, il choisira qui va rester avec lui quoiqu'il arrive. Mais a-t-il tenu compte de la lutte contre les groupes armés, contre les bandits et contre les terroristes ? Tinubu pense avant tout à sa sécurité. La preuve est que la lutte contre le terrorisme et les bandits ne progresse pas. Ces bandits et ces terroristes font ce qu'ils veulent, ils attaquent l'armée, ils tuent même des officiers supérieurs de l'armée. Donc tous ces changements à la tête des armées n'ont pas abouti à une amélioration de la sécurité au Nigeria. Et dans ce cadre-là, il semble que l'objectif principal est la sécurité du chef de l'État lui-même.

It's Friday, April 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Government Convicts Nearly 400 on Terrorism Charges  A federal high court in Abuja, Nigeria, has convicted 386 people on terrorism charges in one of the largest mass convictions in recent times. Those convicted were linked to Islamic State West Africa Province or to Boko Haram, a deadly terrorist group founded in northern Nigeria, reports International Christian Concern. The convictions come as the Nigerian government faces significant pressure from the United States to curb terrorism within its borders and to more effectively protect vulnerable Christian communities caught up in the violence perpetrated by these Islamist terrorist groups. Reports indicate that the Muslim terrorists convicted received sentences ranging from five years to life in prison. Authorities originally charged 508 individuals. Two were acquitted, eight were discharged, and 112 cases were adjourned. Former Virginia Lt. Gov shot and killed wife & self in murder-suicide A Virginia police chief delivered disturbing news at a press conference yesterday about a murder-suicide, reports NewsNation. DAVIS: “Former Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife inside of their home and then shot and killed himself.” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said the husband and wife were found dead at their home in Annandale, Virginia, on Thursday.  Former Lt. Gov. Fairfax was recently served some paperwork associated with an upcoming divorce court proceeding which led to the incident. While they were separated they were still living in the same home. Davis said the couple's two teenage children were at the home when Fairfax shot his wife, Cerina, “several times” before running to a different part of the house and turning the gun on himself. The shooting took place shortly after midnight, and police said one son called 911. Both Fairfax and his wife were pronounced dead at the scene. The police chief added, “Tragic for the children to lose both parents. Extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred.” ABC's Joy Behar: Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah On April 14th, Joy Behar, the self-professed agnostic on ABC's talk show The View, asserted that Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah, reports The Christian Post. BEHAR: “Jesus Himself did not run around saying, ‘I'm the Messiah. I'm the Messiah.'” SARA HAINES: "That's exactly what Jesus said!" BEHAR: "No he did not. Jesus was more modest than that. Jesus was not narcissistic like this guy [Trump]." HAINES: "When you are the Messiah, it's not narcissism to say it!" BEHAR: “Yes it is.” In John 4:25-26, Jesus had a conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. “The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah' (called Christ) ‘is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.' Then Jesus declared, ‘I, the one speaking to you—I am He.'” In John 16:15-17, Jesus asked His disciples, “‘But what about you? Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you… for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in Heaven.'” And in Mark 14:61-62, the high priest questioned Jesus and asked Him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” Jesus replied, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One.” More U.S. young men attend church More young men in America report that they attend church, or other houses of worship, at least monthly, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday, reports The Washington Post. Forty percent of men, ages 18 to 29, attend religious services monthly or more often. That's a seven percentage point increase from 2023, and the highest percentage who have reported doing so since 2013. Pockets of young Americans, especially men, are joining faith communities and driving increased attendance at church and religious gatherings. Although women have historically been more religious than men, male and female attendance at houses of worship, for people under 30, is now statistically tied. Martin Luther refused to recant on April 18, 1521 And finally, 505 years ago, on April 18th, 1521, Martin Luther was called before Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms to recant his teaching which rejected the authority of the Catholic Church and underscored the authority of Scripture. Luther uttered these immortal words that day that launched the Protestant Reformation, depicted here in the 2003 movie entitled “Luther.” Listen. LUTHER: “Unless I am convinced by Scripture and by plain reason, and not by popes and councils, who have so often contradicted themselves, my conscience is captive to the Word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot, and I will not, recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me!” Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” You can watch the movie “Luther” for free through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's Monday, March 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian archbishop to Trump:  “Give us weapons” to “eradicate” Islamic terrorists Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, Nigeria called on the Trump administration to provide intelligence and weapons to the Nigerian government to help combat the brutal persecution of the country's Christians at the hands of Islamic terrorists, reports LifeSiteNews.com. During a March 20th press briefing hosted by Aid to the Church in Need as, Archbishop Kaigama praised Trump for being the first world leader to “clearly and unequivocally” declare that Nigerian Christians are being persecuted, reports EWTN. The archbishop emphasized, however, that Trump's remarks and his administration's December bombing in Nigeria have only emboldened Islamist terror groups, such as Boko Haram, to carry out more attacks on Christians. He called on the 47th president to share intelligence with and provide weapons to the Nigerian government to help them put an end to the persecution for good. Kaigama said, “I was glad when I heard Donald Trump say, ‘We are going to go to Nigeria; we are going to put an end to Boko Haram. At Christmas, we received a gift — a bomb that fell on Nigerian soil — and, truth be told, I could not say whether it did any good. “That incident, coupled with Donald Trump's words, has greatly inflamed the passions of the Islamists in that territory. The number of attacks, the number of kidnappings carried out by Boko Haram and other groups, has been rising ever since.” Islamic persecution of Christians in Nigeria tied to sharia law Persecution of Christians in Nigeria began to spike after 1999, when 12 northern states adopted Sharia law. The rise of the terrorist group Boko Haram in 2009 marked a dramatic escalation in the attacks. Famously, the group kidnapped hundreds of schoolgirls in 2014; 87 of them are still listed as “missing.” From 2009 to 2022, over 50,000 Christians were killed in the country. A 2024 report found that more than 8,000 Nigerian Christians were killed and thousands more were abducted in 2023 alone, making it the bloodiest year on record for Islamic attacks against Christians in the country. Sportscaster Stephen Smith calls out hypocritical Democrats Stephen A. Smith, the ESPN sportscaster, speaks the truth when he ventures into the political world. This time, he chastised Democrats for hypocritically complaining about President Donald Trump's willingness to do something about the growing Iranian threat. Listen. SMITH: “You got a lot of nerve to be in the face of the American people saying for numerous administration, ‘Iran is a problem. They have to be dealt with.'  And then this man deals with them, and then all of a sudden, you complaining about him now. It doesn't really make sense. It's a lack of consistency.” BILL CLINTON: “I am formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with Iran.” GEORGE W. BUSH: “Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsored terror from threatening America or our friends and allies.  Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.” BARACK OBAMA: “I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” JOE BIDEN: “Well, I can say to you, Iran will never get a nuclear weapon on my watch, as they say.” DONALD TRUMP:  “As President of the United States, I would never allow the world's number one state sponsor of terror to obtain a nuclear weapon. I said that for a long time, and I didn't.” 3,500 U.S. Troops arrive in Middle East as Iran war strikes intensify More than 3,500 U.S. troops, including the U.S.S. Tripoli with about 2,500 Marines, arrived in the Middle East, officials announced Saturday, as strikes in the Iran war intensified, reports CBS News. It's the most updated of the amphibious warships, known as a "big deck," which allows more room for F-35 Stealth Fighter Jets, Ospreys and other aircraft. The ship had previously been based in Japan when the order to deploy to the Middle East came almost two weeks ago. Corey Lewandowski out at Department of Homeland Security Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee who served as a top adviser to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, no longer has a role with the DHS, reports NewsNation.com. Last week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee called for an investigation, saying that almost immediately after entering the agency, Lewandowski “exercised outsized influence over DHS far beyond what a special government employee is authorized to do.” Lewandowski was the campaign manager for President Trump in 2016. Plus, according to the September 2021 report of conservative media outlet American Greatness, he had an extramarital affair with the married South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, for whom he had long been a political advisor. Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth reforms Chaplain Corps War Secretary Pete Hegseth says his latest reforms will allow the Chaplain Corps to fulfill its mission of being the spiritual backbone of America's military, reports The Western Journal. HEGSETH: “In previous administrations, our Chaplain Corps was infected by political correctness and secular humanism. The core functions of the Chaplain Corps were changed and watered down until they were viewed by many as nothing more than therapists. Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care. “The crucible of combat tests more than the body. It tests conviction, character and spirit. The military's Chaplain Corps serves as spiritual and moral backbone of our nation's armed forces. Chaplains help forge spiritual readiness across the force, and that matters because in combat, in crisis, and in loss, a war fighter needs more than a coping mechanism. “They need truth, ‘big T' truth. They need conviction. They need a shepherd. Spiritual health is equally important to a service member's physical and emotional health.” According to a War Department news release, the number of faith codes used in the service has been winnowed down to 31. In 2017, the Pentagon issued a list of 221 groups that qualified as a religious group. Oddly enough, the list included witches and atheists, according to Stars and Stripes. Hegseth said, “It was impractical and unusable, and many codes were never used at all.” He noted that 82% of service members, who identify as being religious, used six of the codes. The War Secretary added that the chaplains will display their religious insignia on their uniforms instead of their ranks. He said, “A chaplain is first and foremost a chaplain, and an officer second. This change is a visual representation of that fact.” Christian stewardess gave her life for passengers on sinking ship And finally, on March 30th, 1899, the steamship Stella, carrying 147 passengers and 43 crew. struck some rocks in a fog while sailing to Guernsey, the second largest island in the Channel Islands in the English Channel. Mary Rogers, a cheerful, kind, and hard-working stewardess, supervised the escape of a large number of women and relinquished her own life vest to the last of them and gave up her place in the lifeboat. Four lifeboats were successfully launched and one capsized. Raising her hands to Heaven, Mary Rogers yelled, “Lord, have me!” as the ship sank beneath her within eight minutes. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Or, in this case, absolute strangers.
