It's Friday, June 6th, A.D. 2025. 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 Muslims killed 9 Christians On June 1st and 2nd, Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed at least nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, reports Morning Star News. The attacks took place in Bokkos County in predominantly Christian communities. Emmanuel Auta, a local resident, said, “Christians [are] being butchered.” Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said, “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.” And, in a text to Christian Daily International, Yakubu Kefas wrote, “The attackers, who we believe are Fulani terrorists, are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties, and destruction of property.” Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in Plateau State, Nigeria. Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries On June 4, President Donald Trump issued a full suspension on new visas for foreign nationals from a dozen countries applying for entry to the United States and a partial suspension on nationals from another seven, reports TheEpochTimes.com. The proclamation is set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 9. A full suspension will go into effect for nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. A partial suspension will affect nationals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. This executive action comes after the Secretary of State and assistant to the president on Homeland Security filed a report on April 9 identifying countries with such deficient vetting and screening information that a full or partial suspension of entry for their nationals was warranted. ‘60 Minutes' anchor Scott Pelley ripped for "angry, unhinged" speech criticizing Trump Outraged critics blasted longtime CBS “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-baced tirade against President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina, reports the New York Post. The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University's graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.” Listen. PELLEY: “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes.” Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, called Pelley out for such a ridiculous statement. JENNINGS: “On the free speech issue, I don't know what America Scott Pelley is living in. We have more speech now than ever. There is no problem with free speech in America. What we do have a problem with are people who don't speak truthfully, who are interested more in narratives than truth, and who are using what used to be journalism for activism. We do have a problem with that.” Jennings asserted that 60 Minutes on CBS is a platform that is more interested in a leftist narrative than the truth. JENNINGS: “If you've watched 60 Minutes for five minutes over the last several years, you would know it's not fair. This is one of the shows, this is one of the outlets that conservatives would point to most often to say: ‘This is the state of American journalism. It's only here to try to hurt Republicans, hurt conservatives, hurt Donald Trump.'” Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that he is restoring an historic painting of Jesus Christ to its place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after it had been taken down by Biden-era officials, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Known as “Christ on the water,” the painting depicts Jesus walking on the water in stormy seas toward merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed. DUFFY: “We are moving Jesus out of the basement. To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you. Now, we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put it down in the basement. “I worked with the Academy, and because this is such a historic painting, I'm announcing that through that work with the Academy, this painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence. It'll be a moment to celebrate.” It was painted by Lieutenant Hunter Wood in 1944 as a tribute to all merchant seamen who had been torpedoed during World War II. Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie In the new docudrama called The American Miracle, historian Paul Kengor, one of 14 historians, captures how pivotal the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution was for the world. KENGOR: “America in 1776: This is a watershed event in history. If you were to pick something over the last 450 years, four and a half centuries or so, that truly transformed humanity and the full scope of history, it was 1776.” The American Miracle movie will hit 1,000 screens across America on three days only – Monday, June 9th, Tuesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, June 11th. The actor who plays Benjamin Franklin – Barry Stevens -- is spot on in terms of appearance and disposition alike. FRANKLIN: “We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” Kevin Sorbo, who portrays the younger Thomas Jefferson, is an enthusiastic advocate that Americans know their own history. SORBO: “I think there's not enough history being taught in America anymore. I think people forget about what our Founding Fathers did for this country. Documentaries like this, I think, can help heal a nation, as corny as that sounds. I really do think it's important to learn history.” And Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple, who screened The American Miracle before its June 9th national release, was amazed to witness God's divine intervention in America. HARPER: “I went to history class. I did not learn that God was in the middle of everything that was going on with the birth of our nation, the Constitution, and it just showed the handiwork of God and how God was establishing the United States of America.” Acts 17:26 says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” Go to https://americanmiraclemovie.com/, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, and type in your zipcode to purchase tickets at a movie theater near you to see it on June 9, 10 or 11.

Harry Mitsidis is a renowned global traveler and the founder of NomadMania, a unique online platform and community for dedicated explorers. Born in 1972 in London to a Greek father and a South African mother, Mitsidis grew up in Athens, Greece, with an early exposure to multiculturalism that sparked his lifelong passion for travel. He studied sociology in Greece and at the University of Oxford, later earning an MBA in the Netherlands, and worked as a lecturer in sociology and business across four countries. However, his love for exploration eventually overtook his academic career, leading him to pursue travel full-time.By age 36, Mitsidis had achieved a remarkable feat: visiting all 193 United Nations-recognized countries, with Equatorial Guinea as his final stop in March 2008. But for him, ticking off countries wasn't enough. Seeking a deeper way to explore and understand the world, he founded NomadMania (initially launched as "The Best Travelled" in 2012 before rebranding in 2017). The platform redefines systematic travel by dividing the world into 1,301 distinct regions—far beyond just countries—based on factors like territory, population, diversity, economy, and tourist appeal. Mitsidis himself has visited over 1,200 of these regions, making him the top-ranked traveler on NomadMania's leaderboard.
The African cities of Bata and Al-Hoceima were created during the Spanish colonial rule of Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. Spain's African Colonial Legacies: Morocco and Equatorial Guinea Compared (Brill, 2022) constructs their local history to analyse how Spanish colonialism worked, what its legacies were and the imprints it left on their national histories. The work explains the revision of collective memories of the past in the present as a form of decolonisation that seeks to build different foundations for the future in a transnational and glocal framework. The result is an exciting puzzle of individual and collective memories in which Africans contest their colonial cultural heritage and shape their identities at a global level.

Yahya Jammeh, Gambia's former leader, ruled the tiny West African country with an iron fist for 22 years after seizing power in a 1994 military coup. His regime was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings. Despite being voted out in 2016 and soon exiled to Equatorial Guinea after refusing to accept the election results, his legacy continues to haunt Gambia as victims and their families wait for elusive justice and reparations. This audio documentary, "Portrait of Jammeh," sheds light on the long-lasting scars left by his dictatorship. The documentary takes listeners to Kanilai, Jammeh's hometown, where, despite his brutal legacy, many people still revere him. Survivors and families of victims recount chilling experiences, including mass executions carried out by Jammeh's notorious death squad, the Junglers.

In this episode, we're joined by Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a Malaysian economist and thought leader who served as the Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development at the United Nations (UN) and Assistant Director-General at the FAO. We explore how countries in the Global South can chart their own paths to prosperity. What makes a country truly developed? Is it just GDP per capita or something deeper? Professor Jomo challenges conventional economic dogma—unpacking flawed narratives around FDI, inflation, aid, and industrial policy. With sharp historical insight and grounded realism, he examines why only a few countries have truly made the leap from developing to developed, and what it takes for the rest to follow. We dive deep into: • Why South Korea's path to development is so unique—and rarely replicated • The dangers of relying too heavily on foreign direct investment (FDI) • How resource-rich countries like Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea remain poor • The role of good governance—myth vs. reality • Industrial policy and protectionism in the modern age • The myth of the 2% inflation target and the origins of TFP calculations • Why we need whistleblowers in economics to fight mythology Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. GDP Isn't Everything: Professor Jomo argues that true development is about human capabilities—not just high income. Many mineral-rich countries show that high GDP doesn't guarantee a capable, prosperous society. 2. FDI Is Not a Magic Bullet: Countries like South Korea succeeded by limiting FDI and building domestic capacity. In contrast, over-reliance on foreign capital can lead to wealth extraction without long-term benefits. 3. Governance Indicators Are Circular: Metrics of good governance often reinforce existing biases, labeling developing countries as inherently poor-governed based on narrow criteria. 4. Aid Isn't Always Altruistic: While aid can help, it often serves political purposes and fails to address structural problems. Misguided advice—like telling Tanzania not to tax gold mining—has impoverished nations further. 5. The Power of Industrial Policy: From the U.S. post-Civil War to modern-day China, industrial policy has always driven real growth. The current revival of protectionism may reshape global trade dynamics. 6. The Myth of the 2% Inflation Target: Professor Jomo dismantles the origin story of the widely accepted 2% inflation target, tracing it back to a political slogan in New Zealand rather than any real economic justification. 7. Emerging Markets Must Think Contextually: There's no one-size-fits-all model for development. Local conditions, capabilities, and smart policymaking matter more than mimicking the West. 8. Technology's Role Is Complex: AI and machine learning have vast potential, but without equitable distribution, they may worsen inequality. True progress lies in how benefits are shared.

Lindsay and Madison take you back in history to get the low down on crimes of old. There are a lot of crimes and disasters that I have not heard of, so it is always a lot of fun to learn about death from a distance. Listener Shoutout: And the listener shoutout is to Conakry Guinea. Originally located on the island of Tombo, the city built up onto the peninsula next to the island. In 1885, there were only 500 people living in the city. The name of the country was for a while Conakry Guinea, so that it wasn't confused with Guinea-Bissou and Equatorial Guinea.

On Daybreak Africa: Ghana's Supreme Court has ruled that the parliamentary speaker's declaration of four seats as vacant was unconstitutional. The move effectively restored the ruling party's majority in the legislature ahead of the Dec. 7 election. Plus, Russia has reportedly deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea.

A US-based human rights activist from Equatorial Guinea says the alleged Russian military presence in the country could undermine the US presence geopolitically and businesswise. Reuters News Agency quoted sources Tuesday as saying that Russia has deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea in recent weeks to protect the presidency. This comes as Western influence in West and Central Africa is declining, and Russia's presence is increasing. Equatorial Guinea's 82-year-old leader Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo is the world's longest serving leader. Tutu Alicante, director of EG Justice, or Equatorial Guinea Justice, a North Carolina-based human rights organization that focuses exclusively on the country, tells VOA's James Butty, that there is some credibility to the reports

Join Tmt, Mayowa, and Koj for another episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast, where real talk meets humor! In Episode 212: "Solar Inverters Are The New I-Pass-My-Neighbor," the guys dive into the latest trends and issues impacting life in Nigeria and beyond. Kicking off with a discussion on solar-powered inverters, the trio talks about how worsening power shortages and rising costs are driving Nigerians to seek alternatives—and how the humble inverter is becoming the new essential. They also dig into the concept of "Backing An Individual's Beef" vs. giving someone the benefit of the doubt and how sometimes it's better to talk friends off the ledge rather than dive headfirst into their conflicts. This leads to a broader conversation on the risks of vouching for people—and the fallout when unreliable folks don't hold up their end. Switching gears, the guys address the rise of redpill content, exploring why they think it's gaining traction as some men resist acknowledging shifting societal roles. The episode wraps up with a dive into recent global politics: Donald Trump's election victory in the U.S., Kemi Badenoch's political rise in the U.K., and a surprising scandal from Equatorial Guinea. Expect laughs, insights, and plenty of unfiltered commentary in this Submarine and A Roach episode! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Spain's former African colonies-Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara-share similar histories. Both are under the thumbs of heavy-handed, postcolonial regimes, and are known by human rights organizations as being among the worst places in the world with regard to oppression and lack of civil liberties. Yet the resistance movement in one is dominated by women, the other by men. In Silenced Resistance: Women, Dictatorships, and Genderwashing in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea (U Wisconsin Press, 2029), Joanna Allan demonstrates why we should foreground gender as key for understanding both authoritarian power projection and resistance. She brings an ethnographic component to a subject that has often been looked at through the lens of literary studies to examine how concerns for equality and women's rights can be co-opted for authoritarian projects. She reveals how Moroccan and Equatoguinean regimes, in partnership with Western states and corporations, conjure a mirage of promoting equality while simultaneously undermining women's rights in a bid to cash in on oil, minerals, and other natural resources. This genderwashing, along with historical local, indigenous, and colonially imposed gender norms mixed with Western misconceptions about African and Arab gender roles, plays an integral role in determining the shape and composition of public resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Joining The Wild Life today is Dylan Beckham! She spent two years as a zookeeper caring for all sorts of exotics, including reptiles, invertebrates, fish, emus, wallabies, genets and Eurasian harvest mice. As a herpetology enthusiast, she was surprised to find it was the mice that stole her heart. This led to the development of her independent research project investigating their nesting behaviors in captivity, before ultimately leaving the zoo to pursue her passion for wildlife research. She managed to fit in an adventure to Canada, where she interned at a wildlife rehab facility, wrestled raccoons, and fell madly in love with a three-legged beaver! Now she's wading through nearly a hundred hours of harvest mouse data, while preparing to return to university for a top-up Bachelor's degree in September, where she'll be doing a research project on human-elephant conflict in Equatorial Guinea. Whether you're fascinated by the world of zookeeping, curious about the nuances of data collection, or passionate about conservation, this episode is for you.
