For this episode I interview Olu Adedokun, a PSW in Long Term Care at The Village of Riverside Glen. He shares his story of moving here from Nigeria, and the culture shock - of the weather, of course, but other things we may not think of, like the closeness of our houses, not surrounded by walls between the properties. Olu grew up on a university campus in Nigeria, his father a professor of atmospheric physics, and his mom with her Masters in Montessori children's education, who worked as a principal. There were some similarities between where he grew up and our neighbourhoods here, but his move into Lagos was very different, houses surrounded by walls, generating their own power to protect themselves in a city with higher demand than resources. He had a successful career in Sales and Marketing but it wasn't always a safe place to be, and Canada meant moving to safety and where he would be surrounded by siblings and extended family. The shift from “Sales” to working as a PSW in Long Term Care in Guelph sounds dramatic, but as you'll hear from Olu, there are parallels in care, figuring out how to negotiate to care for residents, to understand what they care about and what makes them happy. He really seems to have a gift for connecting, and I super appreciate him taking the time to share his story (and thank you Bryce, the my manager at Riverside Glen, for covering Olu's lunch shift so he could speak with me!)This interview was originally recorded on Feb 10th, 2026 This is a public episode.

Akinola Davies Jr. premiered his debut feature film My Father's Shadow last year at Cannes, making it the first Nigerian film to be a part of the festival's Official Selection. Since then, the moving father-son drama has gone on to earn rave reviews and even the possibility of a BAFTA win for Davies. But the overwhelming success is rooted in a personal story from 1993-era Nigeria, one penned by his own brother. Talking to Borrowing Tape, Davies breaks down his tender and intimate debut, capturing the city of Lagos on 16mm film, and representing Nigerian cinema on a global stage. Interviewer: Shaurya Thapa

Did Bob Marley's message of unity, liberation, and justice survive the next generation? In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, we explore the growing debate surrounding legacy, alignment, and responsibility. As public conversations intensify around Ziggy Marley's political positioning, many fans are asking deeper questions: Is legacy inherited — or protected? Does evolution equal betrayal? And what happens when the messenger is gone… but the message remains? Using Bob Marley's classic song “When the Well Runs Dry” as a symbolic lens, we examine the idea of moral continuity. The well represents source, conviction, and foundation. And when that source appears to shift, people take notice. This is not an attack. This is not outrage. This is examination. We break down: • The meaning behind “When the Well Runs Dry” • The weight of generational legacy • Public perception vs personal evolution • Unity, politics, and the burden of symbolism • What it truly means to guard a message If Bob Marley stood for liberation and global solidarity, how should that legacy be interpreted today?

Reggae didn't arrive in the Philippines as a trend. It arrived quietly. And it stayed. In this Reggae Hour documentary episode, we trace the full journey of Filipino reggae — from its early discovery in the late 1960s, to the pioneers of the 70s and 80s, to the rise of Brownman Revival, and into the modern generation shaping its future. This isn't commentary. It's documentation.

À Lagos, la clinique privée Euracare a déclaré, il y a quelques semaines, avoir lancé une enquête interne « approfondie » pour identifier les causes du décès de l'un des enfants de l'écrivaine Chimamanda Adichie. Dans un communiqué, l'établissement hospitalier privé réfute toujours les allégations de négligence médicale. Le gouverneur de l'État de Lagos a demandé à l'agence gouvernementale chargée de l'inspection des établissements de santé d'ouvrir une enquête administrative sur les circonstances du décès. Reportage lors d'une inspection d'un hôpital privé à Lagos avec des agents de l'HEMAFAA (Lagos State Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency). De notre correspondant de retour de Lagos, Abiola Idowu observe en retrait. Son équipe d'inspecteurs scrute chaque salle et équipement de cet hôpital privé d'Ikeja. L'HEMAFAA (Lagos State Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency) accrédite les établissements de santé de Lagos. Directrice exécutive de cette agence, Abiola Idowu diligente toutes les enquêtes liées à des erreurs médicales. « Peu importe qui vous êtes, d'où vous venez. Nous avons le devoir d'enquêter et d'aller au fond des choses. La loi nous donne le pouvoir d'agir sur tout établissement. En cas d'infraction, nous sanctionnons l'établissement. Nous ne nous arrêtons pas là. Nous renvoyons également l'affaire devant les ordres des médecins ou des infirmiers. » Dans ce type d'enquête, « parfois, tout n'est pas noir ou blanc » L'agence HEMAFAA travaille donc sur la mort brutale du fils de Chimamanda Adichie. Ce type d'enquête est familier pour le Dr Veronica Iwayemi. Cette haute fonctionnaire chapeaute notamment les 320 centres primaires de santé de la mégapole. À plusieurs reprises, Veronica Iwayemi a été confrontée à des tragédies impliquant des enfants de moins de cinq ans. « Parfois, tout n'est pas noir ou blanc, et vous ne voulez pas dire aux parents : "vous avez commis une erreur". Mais il existe un moyen de le faire sans culpabiliser les parents. S'il s'agit de notre personnel, par exemple, cette personne a été formée et d'une manière ou d'une autre, il y a quand même eu ces erreurs. Bien sûr, cette personne devra se présenter devant la commission d'enquête. » À lire aussiNigeria: le décès d'un enfant de l'autrice Chimamanda Adichie expose la crise du monde de la santé[1/2]   Au Nigeria, le ratio médecin-patient est 13 fois au-dessus de la norme de l'OMS   À chaque erreur médicale au Nigeria, des experts pointent du doigt les failles systémiques. Le ratio médecin-patient est de 1 pour 8 000, alors que l'OMS recommande 1 pour 600. De nombreux professionnels nigérians de la santé sont attirés par de meilleures conditions de travail à l'étranger. Le Dr Adenuga préside le syndicat des médecins internes de Lagos. « Les médecins nigérians partent désormais au Rwanda, en Namibie ou en Afrique du Sud pour travailler, car ces pays offrent des salaires plus élevés. Pour un travail identique, au Nigeria, on vous paiera 300 dollars. En Namibie ou au Rwanda, vous gagnerez 2 000 dollars. Alors pourquoi vouloir rester ici ? » En attendant les résultats de l'enquête de l'agence HEMAFAA, Chimamanda Adichie et sa famille vivent le deuil du petit Nkanu Nnamdi, loin des regards.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 고향의 환상| Romanticizing Home: Two Months in Nigeria and What It Taught Me About Belonging — The One with Doc Ayomide | Episode 39 (2025)In a moment where diaspora conversations often swing between "I miss home" and "I'm never going back," what happens when you actually spend two months living—not visiting—in the place you left behind?This episode brings Doc Ayomide back to us on The More Siby podcast for an unfiltered conversation about my recent two-month stay in Nigeria. What started as a trip home became a masterclass in adaptation, comparison, and the uncomfortable work of holding two realities at once. We explore why we romanticize past lives from a distance, the classism we have been trained not to notice, and how obtaining a simple passport became a months-long ordeal that cost nearly a million naira and still has not been fully resolved.We also talk domestic staff, Lagos airport chaos, the five-year-old who is picking up "ọ" faster than expected, and why something about Nigeria's resilience makes American "breaking news" feel a little dramatic. Three weeks, we decided, is probably the sweet spot. Two months will teach you things you did not ask to learn. This episode will not give you closure. But if you have ever been caught between loving a place and being exhausted by it, between the version of home that lives in your chest and the one that charges you 250k for a letter, you will find company here.PS: Shout out to Nigerian teachers who reminded us what patient, collectivist education actually looks like. And to the government officers charging 250k for letters, we see you, and we are tired. Available now on all major podcast platforms.

À Lagos, la clinique Euracare a déclaré il y a quelques semaines avoir lancé une enquête interne « approfondie » pour identifier les causes du décès brutal d'un des enfants de l'écrivaine Chimamanda Adichie. Ce drame, partagé par de nombreuses familles nigérianes, met en lumière la crise systémique traversée par le monde de la santé au Nigeria. De notre correspondant de retour de Lagos, Dans un communiqué, l'établissement hospitalier privé réfute toujours les allégations de négligence médicale. Pourtant, ses équipes médicales devront répondre aux questions de la commission mise sur pied par l'État de Lagos. Efe Ose a survécu à une erreur médicale en 2008. À l'époque, cette quadragénaire est à son 7ᵉ mois de grossesse. Son médecin lui prescrit alors un médicament pourtant interdit aux femmes enceintes. 17 ans plus tard, pour Efe, la disparition brutale du fils de la romancière Chimamanda Adichie est impardonnable. « J'ai pleuré, je n'ai pas pu lire l'article en entier, témoigne-t-elle. Non, aucune mère, aucun parent ne devrait avoir à enterrer son enfant. Oh, non. Au lieu de gérer la situation, ils l'ont mal gérée. La perte d'une vie qui ne pourra jamais être retrouvée, c'est tellement douloureux. » Selon la famille de Chimamanda Adichie, Nkanu Nnamdi devait subir une ponction lombaire et une IRM. Le 6 janvier 2026, l'enfant de 21 mois ne s'est jamais réveillé, laissant derrière lui son frère jumeau. Dans un centre de santé primaire de Lagos, le Dr Esther Dabiri s'adresse à une douzaine de mamans. Toutes sont accompagnées de leur nourrisson devant être vacciné. « En tant que mère, je me range du côté de Chimamanda. Je sais ce que c'est neuf mois de stress. Mais cet hôpital a fait de son mieux, opine la médecin. Je suis sûre qu'elle leur faisait confiance, c'est pourquoi elle y a emmené son enfant. Je suis sûre qu'ils ont fait de leur mieux. Les professionnels ont essayé. Des erreurs humaines se sont produites. » À lire aussiNigeria: l'autrice Chimamanda Adichie accuse un hôpital de négligence après la mort de son fils « Que pouvons-nous apprendre de cette tragédie ? » Les avocats de l'écrivaine star ont adressé une mise en demeure à la clinique incriminée. Ils réclament notamment l'accès aux images de vidéosurveillance. PDG d'un hôpital privé à Ikeja, Dr John Bankole comprend la vague d'émotion déclenchée par ce drame, même s'il regrette certaines réactions sur les réseaux sociaux. « La grande majorité des gens ne connaissent même pas tous les détails. Les soins de santé sont un domaine très complexe, affirme-t-il. Mais nous, les professionnels, que pouvons-nous apprendre de cette tragédie ? Comment pouvons-nous améliorer notre système et comment gérer les informations ? » Et comme des dizaines de milliers de professionnels de santé, John Bankole s'active au quotidien pour réduire la mortalité infantile. Selon l'OMS, au Nigeria en 2022, sur 1 000 naissances, 108 enfants n'atteignaient pas l'âge de 5 ans.

Au Nigeria, l'État de Lagos a ordonné en décembre la destruction d'une bonne partie du bidonville de Makoko, une communauté de pêcheurs historique, bâtie sur pilotis en bord de lagune. Les autorités avancent des raisons de sécurité pour éloigner les habitations de lignes à haute tension. Elles ont aussi annoncé cette semaine avoir conclu un accord de développement urbain avec certains chefs de Makoko. Mais les habitants, qui ont tout perdu, ont du mal à croire que ces projets leur bénéficieront.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Lagos, Certaines familles de pêcheurs sont établies depuis des générations dans la communauté de Makoko. Parmi ces habitants, il y en a qui sont originaires de Badagry ou ont des liens avec le Bénin voisin. C'est le cas de Marcel Adigban. Avec sa compagne, ils font partie des expulsés du bidonville. « Nos parents étaient ici depuis plus de cent ans et un jour, on vient et on nous dit qu'on doit quitter les lieux !, alerte-t-il. C'était vraiment très difficile, parce qu'on n'avait pas planifié d'aller à un autre endroit. Ils ont tout cassé, notre maison... Il n'y a plus rien quoi ! » Marcel et sa jeune compagne disent que leur nouveau-né, âgé de quelques jours, est décédé, suite à l'inhalation de gaz lacrymogènes lancés par les forces de sécurité pour disperser les habitants avant le passage des bulldozers. « Quand ils ont voulu prendre notre place, ils auraient pu nous laisser un autre endroit, mais ils ne l'ont pas fait, poursuit Marcel Adigban. Je ne sais pas quelles intentions ils ont... » Selon lui, les choses auraient pu se dérouler autrement : « Quand on veut déloger quelqu'un, il faut d'abord le prévenir, lui dire qu'il ne va pas rester là, que tel jour on va venir et qu'on va lui trouver un autre endroit, mais ils n'ont rien fait ! Nous sommes partis chercher un autre terrain, mais où est l'argent pour payer ? », finit-il par s'interroger.

Des travaux de remblai ont commencé en même temps que les opérations de démolition. « Moi, je pense que le gouvernement essaie de prendre notre terre pour la donner aux riches de Lagos ou construire des hôtels, estime Roderick Tosin Ayinde, qui dirige une école à Makoko. C'est exactement ce qu'ils ont fait dans certaines communautés, comme Tarkwa Bay. Parce que les îles de Lagos sont très peuplées, donc ils ont besoin de plus de terrains pour construire. » Le gouvernement de l'État de Lagos évoque un investissement de 10 millions de dollars, dont une grande partie pourrait être financée par les Nations unies. Pendant ce temps, la situation humanitaire sur place nécessiterait des mesures d'urgence, selon Betty Abah, qui dirige l'ONG CEE-Hope. « Les autorités ont bien fait comprendre qu'elles ne voulaient pas discuter avec les avocats ou les ONG, pour avoir les mains libres et exploiter l'ignorance de quelques chefs communautaires, analyse la directrice d'ONG. Que font-ils pour reloger les gens ? Où sont les compensations financières ? Pourquoi un projet de développement urbain doit-il coûter des vies humaines ?! », s'indigne-t-elle. Pour l'heure, les autorités ont promis de stopper les démolitions et les expulsions, mais exhortent la population à ne rien reconstruire sur les ruines de Makoko.

Au Nigeria, l'Assemblée législative de l'État de Lagos a ordonné l'arrêt immédiat des démolitions dans le bidonville sur pilotis de Makoko, mardi 10 février, après avoir trouvé un accord avec les communautés affectées par ces déguerpissements. Le gouvernement prévoit des investissements pour réhabiliter ce quartier historique, construit au bord de la lagune. Ces deux derniers mois, des centaines, voire des milliers d'habitants ont perdu leur toit dans de brutales opérations de démolition. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Lagos, Les habitations de bois sont tombées comme des tas d'allumettes sous les coups des bulldozers. Un tiers au moins de Makoko a été détruit, selon ses habitants. Des dizaines de personnes vivent toujours au milieu des ruines, sous le soleil ou la pluie battante. Les machines se sont arrêtées juste avant l'école dirigée par Roderick Tosin Ayinde. « Il y a un an environ, on a appris que, pour des raisons de sécurité, le gouvernement voulait détruire les maisons qui se situent sous les lignes à haute tension qui traversent la lagune, relate-t-il. Nous nous sommes mis d'accord sur un périmètre de 30 mètres au-delà des lignes électriques, mais après avoir commencé, ils ont dit qu'ils devaient aller plus loin. » Les autorités négocient alors avec les représentants communautaires pour agrandir la zone de destruction à 100 mètres des lignes électriques. « Nous étions en colère, mais il n'y avait rien à faire. Comment se battre contre le gouvernement ?, s'interroge ce directeur d'école. Donc, nous avons mesuré nous-mêmes le périmètre de cent mètres, nous l'avons délimité avec des drapeaux nigérians, mais ils ont dépassé cette limite ! C'est là qu'ils ont commencé à tirer des gaz lacrymogènes, nous avons été forcés de nous enfuir ». À lire aussiNigeria: la démolition du bidonville de Makoko provoque le déplacement de milliers de personnes à Lagos « Il n'y a plus de toit, plus d'abris, nulle part où aller » De nombreux habitants ont dû fuir sans rien emporter. Des églises, des écoles ont été détruites pendant ces opérations de déguerpissement, qui ont créé une véritable crise humanitaire en plein cœur de Lagos. « J'ai reçu un appel alors que j'étais au marché, ma maison est au-delà des cent mètres, mais elle a été détruite, déplore Rachida, elle aussi surprise par ces destructions. À l'intérieur, il y avait des cartons avec du poisson, du bois pour le fumer, mais tout a été détruit... Il n'y a plus de toit, plus d'abris, nulle part où aller. Ce qui me fait le plus de peine, c'est que mes enfants ne peuvent même plus aller à l'école. » Le gouvernement a démenti tout décès lors de ces expulsions. Pourtant, Édith, une autre vendeuse de poisson, raconte une tout autre histoire. « Je revenais de l'hôpital avec mon bébé, juste après avoir accouché, en janvier. En arrivant à Makoko, j'ai été prise dans les tirs de gaz lacrymogènes, j'ai eu si peur que j'ai couru, j'ai sauté dans l'eau avec mon bébé. Après cela, il respirait mal et il est mort peu après. Aujourd'hui, je dors dans un bateau avec mes deux autres enfants. » Le gouvernement de l'État de Lagos prévoit désormais d'investir environ 10 millions de dollars dans la rénovation de Makoko avec l'appui des Nations unies. En attendant une évaluation de la situation, les habitants sont sommés de ne pas tenter de reconstruire leurs habitations sur pilotis.  À écouter dans Grand reportageNigeria : quand l'insécurité devient une affaire américaine

This episode from the Pacific War Channel podcast, hosted by Craig with co-host Gaurav and guest Simone, dives into the European theater of the Seven Years War (1758-1760), focusing on Frederick the Great's struggles against overwhelming Austrian, Russian, and French coalitions. It covers key battles and strategies, starting with the disastrous Prussian siege of Olmütz, thwarted by Austrian ambushes at Domstad, leading to heavy supply losses. The narrative shifts to the Hanoverian front, where Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick's allied forces repel French advances at Crefeld. The brutal Battle of Zorndorf sees Prussians clash with Russians in a bloody stalemate, highlighting Russian ferocity. Frederick suffers a major setback at Hochkirch due to Austrian surprise attacks under Field Marshal Daun, losing commanders like Keith. The episode escalates with Kunersdorf, a Pyrrhic Prussian victory against Russo-Austrian forces, costing Frederick dearly in men and morale. It also touches on failed French invasion plans against Britain, naval defeats at Lagos and Quiberon Bay, and smaller clashes like Liegnitz and Torgau, where Prussian resilience shines despite attrition. The discussion emphasizes Frederick's tactical genius amid resource strain, coalition disunity, and the war's grinding toll, with vivid maps and bios of figures like Daun and Seydlitz enhancing the storytelling. Overall, it portrays a war of attrition testing Prussia's limits.   Check out the Video format at: https://youtu.be/5Quhfgs90OY

Your heart reveals more about your performance capacity than you think. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Leah Lagos, clinical psychologist and performance expert, to explore the science of heart rate variability and how a simple breathing practice can transform cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. From working with elite athletes on the PGA Tour to coaching world leaders and executives, Dr. Lagos breaks down how resonant frequency breathing changes baseline heart rhythms, prevents cognitive fatigue, and allows high performers to make critical decisions without fear.

Last year, a movie called My Father's Shadow made history when it became the first Nigerian film to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Set over the course of a single day in Lagos in 1993 (a day that happens to be one of the most catastrophic in Nigerian history), the film follows two young boys who join their father on a trip to the city so he can collect his paycheck. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on director Akinola Davies Jr.'s own family experiences. During the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, Akinola sat down with Tom Power to talk about memory, Nigeria's lesser known history, and the stuff you learn about your parents after they're gone.

During Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE, Rodi Basso, Founder & CEO of the E1 Series, shares the inside story behind the world's first all-electric powerboat racing championship and explains how E1 is shaping the future of sustainable water mobility.Born during the COVID pandemic and developed in collaboration with Alejandro Agag (Formula E, Extreme E), E1 was conceived not just as a racing series, but as a global technology laboratory for electric propulsion on water. Backed by Basso's extensive experience at Formula One, McLaren, and Magneti Marelli, the championship secured a landmark 25-year exclusivity agreement with the UIM, officially launching the World Electric Powerboat Championship in Monaco.At the heart of E1 is the revolutionary RaceBird — a purpose-built electric raceboat that uses hydrofoils to lift the hull above the water, dramatically reducing drag. Despite water being nearly 800 times denser than air, the RaceBird achieves exceptional efficiency, with the battery accounting for less than 20% of total weight and top speeds approaching 52 knots.

In Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, authorities have demolished Makoko - the country's biggest informal waterfront settlement. The Lagos state government says some structures built beneath high-tension power lines pose a serious safety risk. But the scale of demolitions has left thousands of residents displaced and families say they were given little warning and no clear relocation plan. And in Sierra Leone, President Julius Maada Bio has announced January 18th as Remembrance Day for victims of the civil war. Between 1991 and 2002 the west African country's military alongside UN peacekeeping troops fought against rebel groups, resulting in the killing of thousands of people and displacement of more than half of Sierra Leone's population at the time.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine, Keikantse Shumba, Chiamaka Dike and Ayuba Iliya Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

What if the future of clean energy isn't decided in Washington, Brussels, or Beijing, but in Lagos, Nairobi, and Addis Ababa? Are we underestimating how fast the Global South is leapfrogging fossil fuels? And what happens when clean energy becomes the cheapest, fastest path to development, not a climate sacrifice?In this episode of Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich is joined for a third time by Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and UN Special Representative for Sustainable Energy for All and Co-Chair of UN Energy. Together, they explore how Africa and the wider Global South are quietly reshaping the global energy transition, from rapid growth in solar, storage, mini-grids, and EVs to bold policy moves that many developed economies haven't dared to make.They dive into why energy access is about dignity, health, and gender equality; why finance, not technology, is the real bottleneck; and how local capital, data, and innovation could determine whether “Most of World” powers its future with clean energy or fossil fuels.Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

No structure. No guarantees. Just work, faith, and hope somebody sees you.Chukwuebuka shares how basketball was his first love, how football wasn't even on his radar, and how a single opportunity changed everything. We break down the transition to the NFL, the discipline it took to gain over 100 pounds, what it's like being on a roster but not playing, why humility matters more than talent at the highest level, and what it's like to play with superstars like Patrick Mahomes.Make sure to follow us.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Ebisan about trust — and why it begins not with others, but with learning to trust ourselves. Ebisan reflects on how she approaches relationships with openness, but also with hesitation — not as fear, but as discernment. She talks about trusting the signals we feel in our bodies, and how gut instinct often tells us when something feels right, or when something feels off, long before we can explain it. The conversation explores how trust is built in layers, through consistency, accountability, and paying attention to behaviour over time. Ebisan shares how trust looks different across cultures, generations, and contexts — and why what feels trustworthy in one situation may not translate directly into another. Ebisan and Julia also speak candidly about disappointment — what happens when trust is broken, why we often feel more disappointed in ourselves than in others, and how ignoring early signals can leave us feeling foolish rather than angry. This episode is a reminder that trusting others starts with self-trust — listening carefully, questioning our instincts when needed, and learning to hold openness and hesitation in balance as we navigate relationships. About the Guest: Ebisan Akisanya, Chairman, WIMBIZ Board of Trustees, is a seasoned development professional with nearly 30 years of experience driving social impact across corporate and nonprofit sectors. Her passion for inclusive growth is reflected in her active service on several not-for-profit boards, where she contributes to initiatives that address systemic social inequities and uplift vulnerable populations. She currently serves as coordinator, Corporate Responsibility and National Programs at Chevron Nigeria, where she leads initiatives that drive sustainable impact. Ebisan holds a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology and a Master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos. Beyond her corporate role, Ebisan is also an active member of the African Philanthropy Forum (APF), a dynamic network of social investors committed to advancing development across the continent.

Maybe they banned your account or froze your funds. Remote workers and freelancers from emerging markets often have to jump through hoops to get paid, incurring additional costs along the way.Meanwhile, more people than ever are working online, and more of these workers are coming from the developing world. Yet the global payments system is often failing the very people who rely on it the most. Are stablecoins the solution?This episode of Money Trails is presented by Stellar Development Foundation.Watch the full episode on YouTube.00:00 - The global payments system is broken01:34 - Freelancing and remote work payment issues03:38 - Why does this happen?
