The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잘 세워진 남자| The One with Dr. Timi Adepoju On Becoming a Well-Built Man: Faith, Balance, and the Architecture of Leadership| Episode 33 (2025)To close out our Prostate Cancer & Men's Wellness Awareness Series, we sit with Dr. Timi Adepoju, a physician, leadership coach, entrepreneur, and living proof that adversity can be a launchpad.From growing up in Ibadan during Nigeria's era of scarcity to building thriving clinics and leadership programs in the U.S., his story is a masterclass in grit, grace, and growth. He reflects on how childhood lessons, faith, and a “make the most of what you have” mindset shaped the man he is today and why he refused to abandon his dream of becoming a physician, even when others urged him to take an easier road.But this conversation isn't just about achievement. It's a full reset on men's wellness and balance; a candid look at why men around the world are dying younger, how the “provider” mindset fuels silent exhaustion, and why rest, nutrition, yearly checkups, and breathing space are not indulgences, but survival tools.Dr. Adepoju shares his own transformation from 100-hour workweeks to building rhythms of rest, intentional vacations, and sustainable balance. For leaders and multitaskers, his thoughts on clarity, structure, and letting go will resonate deeply: how to create systems, trust your team, set weekly anchors, and accept that the world will keep spinning even when you take a day off.We also explore how he built Empower Children's Clinic in Mississippi by turning barriers into blueprints — seeing poverty, health disparities, and limited pediatric access as opportunities to serve. “Light comes out of darkness,” he says, and his clinics, now in multiple locations, prove it.In the end, we return to what greatness truly means. Vulnerability. Accountability. The courage to grow and evolve year after year. If you're a physician with a vision, a man redefining strength, or anyone learning to balance ambition with well-being, this episode will both ground and inspire you.Tune in to hear the full conversation; available now on all podcast streaming platforms.

Join Koj, TMT & Mayowa on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria's funniest podcast and Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 234, “Meek & Horny.” It's a high-energy catch-up that zigzags from Lagos banter to Toronto life, politics, and pure nonsense—nimble like Simone Biles.The boys open with a chaotic drink check (green tea, Heineken 0.0, Lasena Water, and tales of expired zero-alcohol beer), plus a medicinal detour into Aboniki and why “stiff” needs context. From there, Koj's moving diaries turn into a love letter to rent-controlled Toronto apartments, outrageous building amenities, and plotting bike rides on waterfront paths.We get an Ibadan classic: the gardener caught doing thirst traps in the boss's pool—a WhatsApp-era parable told in Yoruba (“wé”) about boundaries, class, and comedy. Then it's culture and current affairs: royal family headlines, U.S. threats toward Nigeria, and why media framing around Boko Haram is messy—plus a reminder to value reporting over outrage cycles.Internet culture shows up too: OnlyFans as a business, a Pornhub developer on LinkedIn, and a stray alté pregnancy rumor that somehow invaded dreamland. The episode closes on fatherhood, friendship, apartment hunting, and the eternal tension between being—well, meek & horny.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 새로운 나 | The One With Mr. Roland Odeleye, Esq. – Redefining Survival: On Prostate Cancer, Purpose, and the Power of Openness |Episode 30 (2025)At five or six years old, Mr. Roland Odeleye walked miles through the chaos of Nigeria's 1966 military coup, guided by an inner compass that brought him home safely. That moment became a defining spark in his journey, from Bodija's fruit-filled streets to a life of purpose, advocacy, and resilience in the face of prostate cancer.In this deeply moving episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, I sit down with Mr. Roland Odeleye, a Nigerian-born patent attorney, nonprofit leader, and prostate cancer advocate, whose story redefines what it means to live with purpose after illness.From his joyful childhood in Bodija, Ibadan, surrounded by fruit trees and family warmth, to decades of service providing free prostate screenings in Nigeria, Mr. Odeleye's life reflects resilience rooted in community, faith, and knowledge. But when the advocate became the patient, his mission took on a new meaning.Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017, he chose active surveillance (regular checkups) instead of immediate surgery, leaning on his family and faith through the journey. Years later, when surgery became necessary, he faced the realities of recovery: physical limitations, emotional healing, and redefined manhood.In this candid conversation, he opens up about:Growing up in Ibadan and the lessons of love, diversity, and resourcefulness.Building a foundation that offered free prostate and cataract screenings across Oyo State.His prostate cancer journey, from diagnosis to surgery, and what “healing” really means.Honest reflections on manhood, quality of life, and faith after prostate surgery.Why he rejects the label “survivor” and calls himself “a man who lived through cancer and carries its legacy.”His ongoing mission to track and support men from his foundation's past medical outreaches.Mr. Odeleye's story is not one of mere survival, but a call to redefine strength through vulnerability, to talk openly about men's health, and to find purpose even in pain.Whether you're on a health journey, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration, listen in to be inspired by a story that blends courage, humor, faith, and service, and reminds us all that healing is not a destination, but a daily act of purpose. Because, as the Yoruba saying goes, ”T'aba Mọ Ọna A kò baje”: if we know the way, we won't get lost.

The Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo are not just monarchs — they are living symbols of Yoruba culture, power, and identity. For centuries, their thrones have stood as pillars of history: one representing the spiritual cradle of the Yoruba people, the other commanding political strength and influence far beyond Yorubaland.But recent reports of a clash between these two revered stools have unsettled many. It's more than a palace quarrel — it raises questions about tradition, authority, and the delicate balance of unity among the Yoruba.So, what really happened?What does this mean for the two kingdoms, the South-West, and even Nigeria at large?This is what we set to find out in today's episode of Nigeria Daily.

These are not just stories.They are testaments. From people who have lived through it. And survived.One lost her innocence to someone in the same house.One tried to run but was pulled back by her braids.One got pregnant and was taken to Ibadan for an abortion at five months.One was told to stay quiet because “things like this happen.”One was asked by a nurse what she was wearing.One lost childhood friends because people believed she seduced her stepfather.They shared what it cost them.One said she would never sleep over at a poor man's house again.One said she lost everything — her health, her education, her relationships and almost took her life.This week on WithChude, we hold space for their truth.Watch all new and old full episodes here: watch.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.com Donate to the work here: partner.withchude.com Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Hosted on Acast.

In Nigeria, there was a factory. A factory of body parts, that once discovered in 2014, gave this entire area the name the Ibadan Forest of Horrors.

The farmer-herder conflict in Nigeria is a long-running and deadly struggle over land and resources, primarily between nomadic herders—mostly from the Fulani ethnic group—and settled farming communities. Driven by factors such as desertification, population growth, and shrinking grazing land, herders increasingly move south in search of pasture, leading to violent clashes with farmers over farmland and water access. The conflict has intensified in recent years, contributing to insecurity and displacement, particularly in Nigeria's Middle Belt region. It was there, in the middle of the night on June 13th, that an unknown group attacked the village of Yelewata. An estimated 200 people were killed, mostly farmers and their families, in what is considered the single deadliest massacre of its kind. The attack sparked a massive public outcry over the government's apparent inability to prevent such violence. Joining me to discuss what is driving this conflict—and why Nigerians are increasingly losing confidence in the government's ability to provide security in the Middle Belt region—is Isaac Albert, a professor of African History, Peace, and Conflict Studies at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. We begin by discussing the recent attack on Yelewata before taking a broader look at what his research suggests is fueling this conflict—and what may be done to prevent massacres like this in the future.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 사랑, 순종, 그리고 상실| Fatherhood, Feminism, and Faith: A Candid Conversation — The One with Dr. Ikechukwu Okoro | Episode 20 (2025)What happens when your “common-sense advocate” friend—often (lovingly) accused of being a chauvinist—joins the podcast to talk gender roles? You get a rich, rowdy, and unexpectedly tender Father's Day conversation.In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Ikechukwu Okoro (Or Aikay as I call him): physician, artist, and one of the oldest friendships I've kept since our NYSC days in Ibadan. Together, we explore the complex layers of ambition, masculinity, submission, grief, and family legacy.We dive into what happens when men marry ambitious women and later feel threatened by that ambition. Is ambition unbiblical? Can submission and purpose exist in the same household? We unpack these tensions with scripture, personal stories, and the Proverbs 31 woman as a backdrop. (Yes, there's a twist at the end.)Aikay challenges my views while sharing his own, particularly on why ambition should never come at the cost of family. He also opens up about the loss of his father and what it means to grieve without tears. His story is both a celebration of a legacy and a powerful reminder that there's no one way to mourn.This episode is a tribute to the fathers we've had, the ones we've lost, and the ones we hope to become. It's about choosing honest dialogue over easy answers. Whether you're navigating marriage, grief, identity, or calling, this one's for you.

One of the biggest stressors for parents is helping their child get to sleep and stay asleep. Bedtime can be a real battle for parents at times and today's guest is here to help alleviate that by looking for root causes and also how you parents can help relieve your sleep issues as well. When the whole family sleeps well, things go better.   In this episode, she'll talk about sleep apnea - yes, even for kids - which includes snoring, and mouthbreathing, and how sleep is not a "passive process" like we might think, involving hormones, the immune system and even memories that are processed while we sleep.  Our sleep is affected by nutrition such as iron deficiencies and our sleep hygiene like how dark, cool and noise-free the room is for sleeping.  And one that parents are certainly guilty of - screentime before bed. Dr. Brown says we need to stop that at least 60 minutes before bed and that includes TV and tablets too.  Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a board-certified pediatrician with extensive experience working with children who suffer from a range of sleep issues, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and behavioral sleep disorders. Her holistic and compassionate approach to care sets her apart as a trusted expert in her field. Dr. Afolabi-Brown earned her medical degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, one of Africa's premier institutions for medical education. She completed her pediatrics residency at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is renowned globally for its cutting-edge pediatric care and training programs. Subsequently, she pursued a fellowship in sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she gained specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children. I know you're going to get a ton of great value out of this episode so please enjoy the show. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Afolabi-Brown is an advocate for sleep health education. She actively raises awareness about the importance of sleep through various platforms, including community outreach, public speaking engagements, and digital media. Her mission is to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to create healthy sleep habits for their children. Dr. Afolabi-Brown is also active in several medical associations, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Her contributions to these organizations include advancing research, developing best practices, and sharing insights on sleep interventions. She has also collaborated on scholarly publications and presented at national and international conferences, demonstrating her commitment to the growth and development of her field.

This episode of Visual Intonation dives into the quiet power and creative pulse behind emerging Nigerian filmmaker Unwana Uteh. With works like Heartbreaks & Ocean Waves and Las Flores de la Vida, Uteh crafts stories that ripple with intimacy and cultural resonance. His films, though understated in scope, speak volumes about emotion, identity, and the layered beauty of everyday life. From the bustling heart of Surulere to the vibrant halls of UNILAG, Uteh's journey is as textured as his storytelling. With roots in institutions like Yaba Tech Secondary and Command Secondary School in Ibadan, his formative years wove together discipline and vision. That grounding becomes clear in how he collaborates: always attentive, always tuned to the emotional frequency of a scene. In this conversation, we explore his creative process: how he builds narratives, the role collaboration plays in his work, and how Lagos, with all its chaos and color, breathes into his stories. We touch on the challenges of being an emerging voice in Nollywood and the delicate balance between artistic integrity and audience reach. Join us for a lyrical, layered dialogue with Unwana Uteh: where visuals meet voice, and where every frame tells more than just a story. This is not just about film; it's about how art pulses through the streets of Lagos, finding its way into the hands of a filmmaker who's just getting started. Unwana Uteh's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/unwanautehUnwana Uteh's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uteh_unwana/?hl=enUnwana Uteh's Twitter: https://x.com/unwanautehUnwana Uteh's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12725375/Unwana Uteh's LinkedIn: https://ng.linkedin.com/in/unwana-uteh-20808b1a6Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Satan has no legal right over God's people.However, it is our job to continually trample on him as a believer. Apostle Iren said before we can trample on Satan, we must first see him, Satan, as fallen.He further emphasized that just because we are born again, does not mean we are free from the devil and his strategies. We must actively exercise our authority against him and his cohorts (1 Peter 5:8, Luke 10:19).Two types of authority

Know Your Enemy (KYE)He emphasized that in spiritual warfare, understanding the enemy's limitations and tendencies is important (2 Corinthians 2:11).Apostle Iren reminded us that we already know who the devil is—a liar, a murderer, and a thief (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9, 1 Samuel 17:34-35).Using the story of David and Goliath, he illustrated a key principle: spiritual warfare is won by spiritual tactics.The reason King Saul allowed a boy (David) to face a giant (Goliath) was because of his resume and not by faith (1 Samuel 16:18; Judges 20:15-16).David vs. Goliath was a fair fight because David knew his enemy. Goliath was big but slow, and David used his sling strategically to win from a distance.What We Should Know About Satan and His Angels:

Get ready for another chaotic and hilarious episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest and #1 comedy podcast, hosted by Mayowa, Tmt, and Koj. In Episode 221: "Opeyemi Famakin vs David Hundeyin and Joey Akan vs The Alté-Right," the guys dive into everything from Yoruba culture to Twitter beefs and Lagos drama. The episode starts with Tmt confessing he wore the same outfit to a wedding on Saturday and a funeral on Sunday. This sparks a deep dive into Yoruba traditional attire, with the guys debating why the classic styles outshine modern interpretations. Mayowa takes us on a journey through the All Saints Church Yaba vs St. Jude's beef, before things heat up with a breakdown of the much-discussed feud between David Hundeyin and Opeyemi Famakin. Tmt recounts his run-ins with the FRSC and the Police, sharing the chaos and humor in his recent encounters. Meanwhile, the guest offers insight into the Nigerian comedy scene and what it's like dating as a comedian in Lagos—leading to a roasting session about Tmt's love life as he dramatically declares, “I'm serious now!” The guys also explore the idea of rebranding Submarine and A Roach as Nigeria's Joe Rogan podcast, which somehow ends with the roasting of Peter Obi and a hilarious reading of a Dele Momodu diss from Twitter. They shift gears to discuss dating Ibadan women, the Trevor Noah joke theft allegations and the eternal debate of marriages vs. being single—with Tmt hilariously coining the term “the punishment for being single is how expensive life is.” The conversation gets spicy with Joey Akan vs the Alté community, as Tmt unveils his concept of the Alté-Right and rallies his imaginary army. The guys unpack why Nigerians root for winners, how the Alté scene scaled despite critics, and whether people are too quick to dismiss the gray areas in debates. From Tech Cabal's coverage of bad news to casting for “Children of Blood and Bone”, Nollywood, custom pillows as Nigerian heritage, and the Mainland vs Island divide, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of roasting. The guys wrap it all up with a discussion about the fire at Bogobiri, their experiences watching comedy there, and an imaginary world where Dr. Umar becomes the President of the United States. It's unfiltered, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious—everything you expect from Submarine and A Roach! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

As a child growing up in Ibadan, Nigeria, Dara Treseder was often reminded to keep her feet on the ground. But her mother urged her to dream big and pursue her ambitions—especially if they brought her fulfillment. That encouragement propelled Dara across the world, where she attended both Harvard and Stanford, charting a path defined by her desire to make a positive impact.Dara's journey into marketing began after what she jokingly calls a “failed career in finance," including stints at Apple and Goldman Sachs. In 2020, she became the SVP and Head of Global Marketing and Communications at Peloton, cementing her place as one of the most influential marketing leaders of her generation. Today she is the CMO at Autodesk. In this inspiring conversation from 2021, Dara reflects on leadership, collaboration, and the power of building teams that drive meaningful change: “The best way to drive change is not to try to go alone. It's to do it with others.”

What kills more people than HIV or malaria? What threatens anybody on the planet – and not just people, but animals, too?It's antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the formal name for drug-resistant superbugs. These include bacteria that defy the effects of antibiotics, viruses that thrive in the face of antiviral drugs, and fungi that are immune to antifungal treatments.Each year, an estimated 7.7 million deaths are caused by bacterial infections, and nearly 5 million of these deaths are associated with drug-resistant bacteria. These infections include newborn babies, the elderly, and cancer patients, but also people who were young, fit, and healthy before they got infected.AMR is a major topic of discussion this year (2024) for the World Health Organization and it will take top billing at the United Nations General Assembly. To set the tone for all the discussion, the Lancet has published a series of four papers reviewing the problem and laying out some of the solutions. For the series, the One Health Trust's Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan brought together experts from around the world to address the issue. Dr. Iruka Okeke of the Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria helped write the first of these papers. Dr. Okeke, a bacterial geneticist, points out that antimicrobial-resistant infections can happen anywhere – in hospital patients, in people leading their everyday lives, in farm animals, and in nature among wildlife.It's important to use antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs properly, but also to make sure that people who need them can get the right antibiotics at the right time. It's especially important to keep an eye out for these drug-resistant superbugs, she said. Surveillance helps doctors know whether patients coming in can be treated with everyday antibiotics, or if they need special, usually more expensive, drugs.Skipping surveillance, she says in this episode of One World, One Health, is like playing tennis without keeping score. “If you play tennis and you are not keeping score, you are just practicing.”Listen as Dr. Okeke explains why we all need to do a better job watching out for these killer germs.Read more about the One Health Trust's work on antimicrobial resistance here.

First up, they tackle the age-old debate: is spraying $1 bills at a Nigerian wedding razz? Tmt dives into the legalities surrounding this cultural practice, while they ponder the origins of money spraying in the black diaspora, from African parties to American strip clubs. Prepare for laughs as Mayowa confesses his desire to spray dollars at his wedding, only to be met with resistance from his wife and brother who deemed it too razz for their taste. Meanwhile, Tmt's sister's attempt to play matchmaker leads to hilarity and awkwardness. The conversation takes a reflective turn as they discuss the economic realities of modern relationships, including the decline of side families due to financial constraints. Koj shares his high school dream of being a kept man and marrying up in life, sparking laughter and lively debate. Get ready for some candid discussions about sex and stamina, with Koj hilariously admitting the only way he's going multiple rounds is if Dana White is paying him. They also share their thoughts on the AMVCA's and dive into movie reviews, including "Breathe of Life" and "Water & Garri," with Koj revealing his newfound love for Ibadan. As the episode winds down, Mayowa delivers a side-splitting joke at Tmt's expense, leaving everyone in stitches.

Set in Colonial Northern Nigeria, this book confronts a paradox: the state insisted on its separation from religion even as it governed its multireligious population through what remained of the precolonial caliphate. Entangled Domains: Empire, Law and Religion in Northern Nigeria (Cambridge UP, 2023) grapples with this history to offer a provocative account of secularism as a contested yet contingent mode of governing religion and religious difference. Drawing on detailed archival research, Rabiat Akande vividly illustrates constitutional struggles triggered by the colonial state's governance of religion and interrogates the legacy of that governance agenda in the postcolonial state. This book is a novel commentary on the dynamic interplay between law, faith, identity, and power in the context of the modern state's emergence from colonial processes. Dr. Akande is currently an Assistant Professor in the Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Canada and chairs the international legal history project at the African Institute of International Law in Arusha. Previously, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies as an Academy Scholar from 2019-2021. She received her Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) degree from Harvard Law School in 2019 with her dissertation, “Navigating Entanglements: Contestations over Religion-State Relations in British Northern Nigeria, c. 1890-1978” receiving the Law and Society in the Muslim World Prize. At Harvard University, Dr. Akande held the Clark Byse fellowship at the Law School and was a Dissertation Fellow and Graduate Student Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. She also served on the editorial board of the Harvard International Law Journal. Prior to her graduate work, Dr. Akande obtained her Bachelor of Laws from the University of Ibadan, graduating with First Class Honors and at the top of her class. She later studied at the Nigerian Law School, from which she also graduated with First Class Honors. Dr. Katz is currently a postdoc in Grants Operations Management and Creative Engagement at UNC Chapel Hill.
