From Benue to Kogi to Edo, Nigeria has recently witnessed disturbing attacks on security officers.In Edo State, eight NSCDC personnel were ambushed and killed.In Kogi, gunmen opened fire on police checkpoints, leaving officers and a passerby dead.And in Benue, a joint patrol team was ambushed, with casualties recorded.These incidents reveal a troubling trend: security operatives, meant to protect, are now being deliberately targeted.Why is this happening and what does the law say about it?This is what we are going to explore in today's episode of Nigeria Daily.
In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits with former Kogi State Deputy Governor Edward Onoja, who opens up on his political journey, his rift with ex-Governor Yahaya Bello, and his role in national politics.Onoja recalls Bello urging him to contest the 2023 primaries only to withdraw support at the last minute, a move he calls “shocking” but says he has forgiven. He defends the Bello administration's record in Kogi, from civil service reforms to new hospitals and institutions, while stressing that he takes “credit and blame” for its legacy.In national politics, Onoja dismisses claims of northern resentment toward Tinubu, calling himself a “foot soldier” for the president's reelection and pledging to build unity even with opposition figures. But he waves off coalition parties like the ADC as unserious, insisting his loyalty rests with the APC.Guest:Chief Edward Onoja(Former Deputy Governor, Kogi State / Governing Member, South East Development Commission)

The mysterious power of gold to shape human civilization extends far deeper than most realize. In this captivating conversation with Alan Ereira, author of "Gold: How It Shaped History," we uncover gold's extraordinary journey through time and its profound impact on humanity.Herrera reveals how his work with the Kogi people of Colombia sparked his fascination with gold. This indigenous culture, which managed to resist Spanish colonization by retreating to their mountain sanctuary, maintains a sacred relationship with gold as the "fundamental source of fertility in the world." Their warnings about excessive gold extraction mirror concerns voiced by ancient Roman writer Pliny, suggesting a cross-cultural understanding that modern society has forgotten.The archaeological evidence tells a remarkable story. Six thousand seven hundred years ago at Varna on the Black Sea shores, the first known deliberate use of gold created what we immediately recognize as royal regalia - a crown, scepter, and chest disc. This same pattern appeared independently across civilizations separated by vast distances and time, suggesting something deeply ingrained in human psychology connects gold with power and divinity.Perhaps most fascinating is gold's cosmic origin. The tremendous forces required to create gold atoms likely came from neutron star collisions - catastrophic events visible across the universe. This means all Earth's gold arrived after our planet formed, deposited from space in a cosmic jackpot that continues to influence our destiny.From ancient Babylon to modern central banks, gold's monetary role has shaped economies and empires. When Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem for its temple gold, he unwittingly caused inflation that disrupted ancient economies. Similarly, when Spanish conquistadors brought American gold to Europe, it transformed the social order. Yet through all these fluctuations, gold maintains its purchasing power in ways fiat currencies cannot match.As we navigate today's financial uncertainties and potential shifts away from dollar hegemony, gold's enduring significance offers perspective on what truly constitutes value in our world. Whether viewed as sacred substance or economic anchor, gold continues its millennia-long relationship with humanity, connecting us to our past while potentially securing our future.

The recent killings in Uromi have sparked widespread condemnation from both Nigerians and the government, raising concerns about Northern hunters operating in the South. Many are questioning why these hunters travel such long distances—whether for unique animals, economic survival, or other reasons. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we explore the implications of their activities, their legality, and the potential security risks they pose.

This TIMELESS has actually never been shared on the podcast before. Our guest is Woman Stands Shining also known as Pat McCabe - one of the Diné Nation, and was adopted into the Lakota Spiritual Way of Life. Pat lives in rural New Mexico, but travels internationally to speak, pray, and share her journey with others. Descended from elders taken into residential boarding schools intended to strip her people of their culture, she is continually in the process of remembering and listening for the way Home, back to the true nature of being Human Being. This little piece explores the sacred role of women in indigenous traditions and their deep connection to Mother Earth. With wisdom from the Lakota, Kogi, and other cultures, Pat describes how women are the backbone of families and communities. She shares with us the power of moon time, the importance of reintroducing Grandmother's Lodges and the need to restore balance between the masculine and feminine. This is a call for women to reclaim their spiritual authority—not through dominance, but by aligning with the natural laws and rythms of life. In this TIMELESS we go beyond the billionaire's boys club and explore How True Respect for Women Dismantles Toxic Power. We hope it moves you deeply.

Roy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he went from having a gambling addiction to being an award-winning chef, what Asian immigrants had to do to navigate the American system, and how important food is to Korean culture. Roy and Dax talk about what happened to restaurants during the pandemic, how most people in America are a product of fast food advertising, and what reforms he would like to see in the food industry. Roy explains what his experience was like teaching English in Korea, that he has never been a collector of material things, and that he believes there isn't enough Asian representation in American media.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textRichard Chambers, founder of Starseeds Changing the World (www.starseedschangingtheworld.com, Richard_d_chambers on Insta), co-founder of the Kualama Foundation, quantum life coach and creator of the Crystal Academy, shares deep wisdom regarding the critical nature of the planet's bio-diversity. Richard gained this crucial information from the sacred tribes of the mountains of Colombia and their sacred leaders, the Mamos. Richard and his wife Rosalie (aka the Rainbow Goddess, @THE RAINBOW GODDESS) previously on THE SOULFAM PODCAST, • Video ) were invited to spend time with the Kogi's in Colombia, a sacred tribe whose culture and mission is to safeguard the heart of the Earth. The tribe (one of four whose mission is to safeguard the heart of the Earth) has gone undisturbed for thousands of years. In this energetically-charged conversation about the critical imbalance of planet Earth's resources, Richard emphasizes the importance of humanity's responsibility to give back to the Earth, to preserve its resources and to recognize the power of nature in our every day lives. Richard and Rosalie make semi-regular trips to Colombia with small highly-curated groups to experience and understand the sacredness of the tribes' culture and our collective mission to take care of Earth. In this conversation, Richard shares how the Earth's biodiversity is a well-ordered universe in which each resource must stay in balance in order to maintain a thriving, healthy environment for all....plant, human and earthly life. The Kogi Tribe, who escaped the Conquistadors by climbing higher and higher into the mountains, have long protected the heart of the Earth located in the mountains of Colombia. They now plea with humanity to take up the cause, to become The Fifth Tribe (four tribes currently protect Earth's heart) and protect the planet's resources.Richard carries the Mamos' message of the importance both the biological balance of the Earth, humanity, biodiversity, the oceans, animals and our spiritual balance with nature. In this interview, Richard shares how we have lost our connectedness with spirit, connectedness with the sacred and connectedness with ourselves. In his gentle, deeply-researched ways, Richard shares the importance of returning to the sacred for ourselves, our communities and for the planet. Not to eliminate the advances of our culture, but to be in balance with all for the wealth, health and well-being of all. Richard can be contacted for speaking events, group and individual coaching and as a resource for further understanding of the sacred tribes' intention and hope for Earth's inhabitants at www.starseedschangingtheworld.com. Richard has also founded the Kualama Foundation to help support the Kogi's and Mamos in their work. Mamos Elders currently speak and hold ceremony at specific locations around the world to invite humanity to take up their sacred responsibility to protect the Earth. This revelatory interview closes with sacred prayer. We invite you to pray or to honor Richard's words as a form of meditation if you are so inclined.

Kogi: die Weisheit der älteren Brüder – mit Lucas Buchholz Weit oben an den nördlichen und nordwestlichen Abhängen der Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Kolumbien lebt ein Volk, das uns mit großer Sorge aus der Ferne beobachtet. Mit so großer Sorge, dass es sich vor gar nicht langer Zeit entschieden hat, mit uns in Kontakt zu treten, um seine Botschaft zu den Bewohnern der westlichen Welt zu tragen. Die Kogi. Ein Naturvolk, von dem wir viel lernen können, wenn wir ihm wirklich zuhören. Die Bergkette, die das zuhause der Kogi ist, betrachten sie als heilig, genau wie den Rest des Planeten. Umso erstaunlicher finden sie uns jüngeren Brüder – denn so nennen uns die Kogi - unseren Lebenswandel und unseren Umgang mit der Welt, in der wir leben. Der Mann, der offiziell den Auftrag bekam, die Lehre der Kogi zu verbreiten ist Lucas Buchholz. Er studierte Wirtschaft, Politik und im Master Friedens- und Konfliktforschung, arbeitete in internationalen Organisationen in Mosambik, Jordanien und Pakistan. Auf Einladung eines Kogi- Ältesten verbrachte er mehrere Monate bei diesem indigenen Volk in Kolumbien. Sie baten ihn, das Buch „Kogi – Wie ein Naturvolk unsere moderne Welt inspiriert“ für sie zu schreiben. Heute ist er als Zukunftsforscher, Berater, Speaker, Autor und Filmemacher tätig und arbeitet zu Transformation und Umdenken in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Er hält Vorträge, gibt Seminare und berät Unternehmen, die zukunftsfähig werden möchten.

Il existe des sociétés où la violence est identifiée, canalisée, où les jeunes sont élevés en harmonie avec la nature et d'où la pauvreté est absente. Des sociétés hautement démocratiques, solidaires, en quête permanente d'équilibre et de paix. C'est le cas de la société des Indiens Kogis, derniers héritiers des grandes civilisations précolombiennes du continent sud-américain. Repliés dans les hautes vallées de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombie), ils tentent de préserver leur mémoire et leur équilibre face aux agressions de la modernité (guérilla, narcotrafiquants, pilleurs de tombes...). Sauvé de la mort par les Indiens Kogis, Éric Julien les connait bien et travaille depuis des années à les aider à récupérer une partie de leurs terres et à faire connaitre leur culture.Eric Julien est aussi une sorte d'ambassadeur de la culture Kogi en France où il a fait venir récemment certains membres de la tribu pour leur demander de “diagnostiquer” la santé d'un territoire et échanger avec des scientifiques.Dans cet épisode nous parlons de la culture Kogi, de leur vision du monde, de leur rapport d'étonnement au contact de notre civilisation et de nos territoires, de leurs pouvoirs qui nous échappent. Les Kogis nous invitent à changer de regard sur nos propres perceptions du monde et nos certitudes et à questionner nos modes de vie.Interview enregistrée le 16 janvier 2024Cet épisode est soutenu par Cyberghost VPN.

Eric and chef extraordinaire/pal Roy Choi talk about setting kitchens on fire accidentally and walking in on people having sex in a restaurant after hours. Never a dull moment when you are a professional chef. Eric talks about lying his way through a restaurant gig and immediately being fired after 3 days. Roy shares his tales of cooking stoned, his time of cooking in Japan, an infamous bombing moment with an Iron Chef, getting ripped by The New York Times, and asking the age old question: how does a tire mascot dictate "good food?" And last but not least, how witnessing people peeing into the tomato sauce will make you think twice about ordering pizza. BUY MY NEW BOOK Dumb Ideas TODAY!

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A diocese in Nigeria has announced that Brother Godwin Eze, a monk who was kidnapped on October 17 alongside two others from the Benedictine monastery in Eruku, was murdered. Eze was kidnapped alongside Brother Anthony Eze and Brother Peter Olarewaju. Abductors shot Eze and threw his body in a river. Ekesioba said that the monastery was organizing a search to retrieve the body of Godwin Eze from the river. The Diocese of Ilorin serves Kwara state, which is bordered to the east by Kogi state, to the north by Niger state, and to the south by Ekiti, Osun, and Oyo states. Some of these Nigerian states, including Kogi and Niger, continue to witness attacks reportedly perpetrated by armed Fulani herdsmen and other bandits. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255791/monk-shot-body-thrown-in-river-following-kidnapping-at-nigerian-monastery The Supreme Court of Georgia on Tuesday upheld the state's “heartbeat” law that bans abortion at six weeks and recognizes the personhood of unborn babies. The 6-1 decision allows the “Living Infants Fairness and Equality” (LIFE) Act law to remain in effect while other challenges to the measure are further considered by the court. This means that abortion in Georgia is banned after an unborn baby's heartbeat is detectable, except in some cases of rape, incest, and situations of serious pregnancy complications. Besides banning abortion at six weeks, the LIFE Act also establishes that unborn babies are human persons in the eyes of the law, allows mothers to receive child support from the beginning of pregnancy, and allows parents to claim unborn babies as dependents on state income taxes. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255796/georgia-supreme-court-upholds-heartbeat-law-banning-abortion-recognizes-personhood-for-unborn Today the Church honors Saints Crispin and Crispinian, brothers who together evangelized Gaul in the middle of the third century. They preached in the streets by day and made shoes by night. Their charity, piety, and contempt of material things impressed the locals and many were converted to Christianity. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-crispin-and-st-crispinian-32

"Weed taught me how to be American," chef Roy Choi says of his favorite leafy green. Weed also inspired his most iconic creation–the Kogi taco–easily one of the stoniest culinary sensations of all time. A life-long, loud-and-proud cannabis enthusiast, Roy Choi had to pretty much invent the modern gourmet food truck just to get his Kogi tacos out to the people. Fifteen years later, he's now among the most respected and influential chefs in the world From his early adventures as a member of the 'United Stoners of America,' to his brand new line of edibles with Tsumo Snacks, we talk about cannabis, food, culture, and how to keep pot weird. NOTE: We discuss two scientific studies in the episode, one about how weed actually makes your taste buds more acute, and one about hyper-priming.

The more I move toward living sustainably, the more I learn about cultures that haven't become as polluting, depleting, addicted, and imperialist as ours. I grew up thinking they were stuck in the Stone Age, but they aren't.Conversations with Alan help me learn about the Kogi, with whom he's lived in the mountains of Colombia and made two documentaries with the BBC. The relevant differences is that compared to us, they live sustainably, free, and in abundance.Alan shares more in our third conversation about what he's learned from them, including how they see us, which is sobering.

In Nigeria, an unspecified number of people have been killed and hundreds of houses burnt down in the Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi state. The attack on Sunday has heightened security concerns in the state which has witnessed similar incidents in the past. In Kenya, protests which have been ongoing in the country have been called off. They were due to continue today, but Opposition leader Raila Odinga called them off after being approached by President William Ruto. Sierra Leone general elections are just over two months away and the political barometre is heating up. In the latest flare up, the motorcade of the presidential hopeful for the main opposition APC had a bruising encounter with the police on a main highway leading to Freetown. A Kenyan startup - Kubik - has been awarded Startup of the Year in a global competition which spans 120 countries. They remove plastic from the environment and use that to create building materials for housing.
I was very curious to learn more about the Kogi and Alan's interactions with them.Alan is deeply involved with their joint project to learn to restore nature as they have shown they can. "Restoring nature" doesn't do justice for what they are doing. They are also sharing different ways of seeing and interacting with the world, which, as I understand from Alan, is not how they see the world.Alan starts with a couple descriptions of how the Kogis view things differently than Europeans, including in ways we wouldn't have suspected were different. How does a medieval castle look to someone who has never seen a stone building? If they see something a typical European sees daily, how much else are we misunderstanding? What are we missing?Their process for planting includes steps before planting of contemplation. What are they doing? What are we missing? Can we learn from them? Can we learn from them before we wreck them and ourselves?What else about nature are we missing? How common are their views to other cultures that our polluting culture hasn't wrecked yet?The Tairona Heritage Trust, where you can learn about and donate to help the Kogi help usAlan's first documentary on the Kogi (1990): From the Heart of the World - The Elder Brother's WarningHis second (2012): Aluna - An Ecological Warning by the Kogi PeopleAlan's home page Hosted on Acast.

Roy Choi (Broken Bread, The Chef Show, Kogi) is a chef, author, and television personality. Roy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he went from having a gambling addiction to being an award-winning chef, what Asian immigrants had to do to navigate the American system, and how important food is to Korean culture. Roy and Dax talk about what happened to restaurants during the pandemic, how most people in America are a product of fast food advertising, and what reforms he would like to see in the food industry. Roy explains what his experience was like teaching English in Korea, that he has never been a collector of material things, and that he believes there isn't enough Asian representation in American media.
