This episode was originally published in June 2026.When Carlos Barragán discovered his mother was the victim of romance fraud, he flew to Lagos to find the con man – and found the Yahoo Boys, young men whose job it is to rip off westerners. The name comes from the old email platform, first used by the Nigerian scammers decades ago.His mother, Silvia, had fallen in love online with flirtatious, sincere, handsome Brian; she bought rings, planned a future and was convinced that they would one day live together – when he was free to travel to Spain.Her sons though, suspected something sinister was afoot, especially when “Brian” started to make financial demands.Over the course of three years Carlos, a journalist, visited Nigeria multiple times to see the Yahoo Boys in action and to try to understand why this particularly cruel, exploitative form of online fraud has become such an earner for so many young men in Lagos. He also discovered a romance scam involving an Irish woman.His compelling book, The Yahoo Boys: Real Life with the Love Scammers of Lagos by Carlos Barragán is published this week.He talks about the experience on In the News.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Much Matter in a Penny Paper: Early Yoruba Print Culture in Lagos,1910-1930 (Ohio UP, 2026) is a survey of the history and development of Yoruba print culture in Lagos, Nigeria, from the 19th to the early 20th century. The book details the emergence of the Yoruba language press, its themes, and its distinction from the English-language press. The influence of both missionary and secular presses on religion and morality as well as the socio-economic and political lives of the Nigerian people are also emphasised. The book relates the impact of the development of other machines, including transportation technologies like trains, trucks, and bicycles on the dissemination of printed materials across the regions. In terms of methodology, the book combines history and ethnography approaches to tell the story of the Yoruba printing culture in Lagos between 1910-1930. Alluding to Robert Campbell's installation of the first printing press in 1862, which led to the publication of the Anglo-African newspaper, the book narrates how the focus shifted from English-only publications to include Yoruba language content in the early 20th century, with books about Yoruba towns and poetry becoming popular. While the title of the book is rooted in the Yoruba proverb, “Oro po ninu iwe kobo”, reflecting the richness and diversity of content in early Yoruba newspapers, the book is testament to Professor Karin Barber's motivation entrenched in her fascination with Yoruba language creativity including oral praise poetry, popular theater, and verbal arts, and her discovery of Yoruba oriki in colonial-era publications.   Mariam Olugbodi is a university teacher and a writer, she is the author of the monograph titled: “Stylistic Features in the 2011 and 2012 Final Matches Commentaries in the UEFA Champions League”, published by Grin Verlag. Mariam's greatest dream is seeing a world where knowledge is accessible to all. She does this through her volunteering roles on open knowledge platforms as a host and an editor.

Jane opens with a framing that runs through the entire conversation: for Africa, the subsea cable story is not primarily about geopolitics. It is about connecting citizens and translating that connectivity into economic participation. Less than 40% of Africans use the internet, and while infrastructure investments are significant, the benefits tend to concentrate in urban hubs like Nairobi, Lagos, and Cape Town, while rural populations, women, and landlocked countries remain underserved. The 2024 cable cut that affected ten African countries brought into sharp focus just how fragile the system is. Africa has only one dedicated cable repair vessel for the entire continent, and mobilizing it costs millions of dollars and takes days. Jane walks through what is now being put in place: clearer government notification protocols, mandated interconnection between telecom operators, and cross-border coordination frameworks, with West Africa emerging as a model that the rest of the continent has not yet replicated. On Chinese infrastructure, Jane is pragmatic. The framing of east versus west is, in her view, the wrong one for African policymakers who are already deeply invested in Chinese telecom towers, terrestrial fiber, and mobile devices across the continent. The more useful question is how to secure what already exists, ensuring cybersecurity safeguards are in place regardless of where the infrastructure comes from. On the ITU advisory body, whose final report was published in Geneva in July, the recommendations cover coordination, standards, and geographic diversity, but the document is non-binding. The real work, she says, now rests with national governments and regulators to take those recommendations forward.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 한국 비자 | The Nigerian Passport Tax — The Stress of Getting a Korean Visa: Episode 6 (2026)If you've been with me for a while, you know how much I love South Korea. I spent a full year there with my mum and my kids, and that memory is one I'll always cherish. But loving a place doesn't mean staying quiet about the parts of it that aren't lovely at all.In this episode, I sit down with a guest I'm calling Sis. Her real name stays anonymous, because she's not alone in this, and a lot of people going through the same process right now are still afraid that speaking up could cost them their own application. Sis recently applied for a visa to visit Korea, where she now has family. She'd already been through other embassies before this one, so by every reasonable expectation, she assumed the Korean embassy in Lagos would be just as straightforward.It was not.Nine or ten visits. To an embassy that, on any given day, sees a handful of people, nothing close to the queues at the UK, US, Canadian, or Australian embassies. A checklist that changed depending on who was behind the desk, and sometimes even when it was the same person behind the desk. Staff who denied ever giving her instructions they'd given her days before. A two-hour drop-off window that assumes nobody applying has a job to get to. And in the end, her passport didn't land in her hands until the day of her flight, even though she'd booked that flight two months out specifically to give the process room to breathe.I bring my own family into this one too. My mother went through her own version of this: flown back to Nigeria for a TB test the embassy insisted on, even after we offered to have it done and verified locally. Seven trips to the embassy. Her visa finally came through the day before she flew out. Comparing notes with Sis made one thing painfully clear to both of us: this isn't a bad day at one counter. It's a pattern.This episode isn't really about Korea, the country I love. It's about a process that doesn't match the country everyone's currently falling for from a distance, and about the gap between the people running that system and what's actually happening to applicants on the ground. We talk about what we'd each fix if we could, and what we wish someone had told us before we started.This was a hard one for me to sit with, and an even harder one to put out. But if it reaches even one person going through this right now, or one person who can actually do something about it, it's worth it. If you've had a similar experience, at this embassy or any other, I want to hear it. Drop your story in the comments. Let's stop letting this stay in the shadows.

In this episode, I sat down with Busayo Olupona, founder and creative director of Busayo, the Brooklyn- and Lagos-based fashion brand known for its bold prints and textiles created with artisans in Nigeria. Busayo shares how she went from corporate finance law to bringing handmade pieces home in suitcases, selling them at scrappy pop-ups, and eventually landing in major retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Shopbop, and Moda Operandi.But this conversation goes much deeper than fashion. Busayo opens up about returning to a 9-to-5 after years of entrepreneurship, the shame and fear she had to unlearn, and the two serious cardiac events that forced her to confront the cost of constant striving. We talk about what it takes to build a business without losing yourself, why preparation matters before opportunity arrives, and how faith, meditation, and surrender changed the way she leads.In This Episode, You Will LearnWhy learning a new industry while you still have a paycheck can protect both your savings and your confidenceHow to view returning to a job as reinvesting in your business, not failing at entrepreneurshipWhy Busayo had to separate her worth from her corporate title and other people's opinionsHow years of creating collections before buyers said yes prepared her for the Saks opportunityWhat two serious cardiac events taught her about sleep, stress, self-care, and sustainable ambitionHow wholesale relationships can drive recurring revenue, brand discovery, and direct-to-consumer salesWhy Busayo believes faith, meditation, and surrender are practical tools for entrepreneurshipHighlights Include03:04 - Moving from Nigeria to the United States at age 11 and learning to reject parts of herself to fit in16:44 - How annual trips to Nigeria planted the seed for the Busayo brand19:37 - The first pop-up that pushed her to stop hiding her designs24:05 - Leaving Cleary Gottlieb and unlearning the belief that she was not enough29:16 - Attending her first trade show and returning with only two orders31:36 - Meeting mentor Mercedes Gonzalez and learning how wholesale really works32:36 - Going back to a legal job after burning through her savings34:49 - Returning to the same office building and confronting the shame tied to her old title36:19 - The first cardiac emergency that showed her she was pushing too hard39:49 - Experiencing a second cardiac event and making sleep and self-care non-negotiable47:59 - Why she now sees building a business as a spiritual endeavor55:49 - How years of preparation helped her seize the opportunity that led to Saks1:00:08 - Navigating strong years, lean years, and the impact of the Saks bankruptcy1:06:17 - Why wholesale remains an important revenue and discovery channel1:14:48 - Identifying your fear pockets before leaving a steady paycheckLinks and Resources MentionedShop BusayoThe Fashion Designer Survival Guide by Mary GehlharRAISEfashionThe Untethered Soul by Michael A.

John Hope Bryant sits down with billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist Strive Masiyiwa and framing the conversation around the “African century.” Masiyiwa describes founding the Econet Group, defeating Zimbabwe’s state telecom monopoly through a Supreme Court constitutional ruling, relocating to South Africa to access capital, and expanding across Africa—especially Nigeria, where he assembled a local consortium to buy a $285 million mobile license and lived in Lagos to build the business. He explains shifting from mobile to fiber and satellite infrastructure, building 150,000 miles of network and connecting Africa east-to-west, then moving into data centers, mobile money, and global acquisitions. He outlines core operating values (innovation, people/product/process, diverse talent, faith lived through actions), discusses the Higher Life Foundation’s education and health work, and recounts leadership roles during Ebola and COVID responses.

Suite de la série qu'RFI consacre aux actrices oubliées de la décolonisation sur le continent africain. Dans l'ombre des grands leaders masculins, des femmes se sont organisées pour penser la décolonisation au féminin. Il y a 66 ans, en août 1960, à Ibadan, au Nigeria, 55 déléguées de huit pays se réunissaient pour un congrès intitulé « La femme africaine trace son avenir ». S'il ne reste que peu d'archives des 12 jours de débats qui l'animèrent, l'événement est resté comme un moment fondateur de la pensée féministe panafricaine. Avec notre correspondante à Lagos, Elles étaient ghanéennes, maliennes, sénégalaises ou guinéennes issues de tous les milieux socio-professionnels. Parmi elles, des femmes de ménage, des commerçantes, des politiques ou des sages-femmes qui se sont réunies dans le but de réfléchir communément à leur place dans leur pays nouvellement indépendant, mais aussi à leur place sur le continent.  L'historienne Sara Panata s'est penchée sur les rares traces qui subsistent de la conférence d'Ibadan et explique quelles étaient les problématiques évoquées alors par les femmes : « On parlait de questions qui n'étaient pas liées à la politique formelle avec des sujets sur la place des femmes dans la famille, les droits reproductifs, le rôle social des femmes dans les nations indépendantes. Les déléguées se demandaient aussi comment créer des ponts entre femmes d'Afrique de l'Ouest, comment continuer le dialogue, et comment se penser en tant qu'Africaine et sortir des spécificités nationales portées par la colonisation ». Les débats portaient sur la conciliation d'une vie moderne tout en préservant la société traditionnelle africaine et sur la façon dont la liberté de travailler ou d'entreprendre pouvait améliorer le statut de citoyenne. Les femmes africaines, « pierres angulaires » des nations indépendantes Au Nigeria, depuis les années 1940, ces luttes passent souvent par des associations féminines fondées sur des critères religieux ou économiques. C'est l'une d'entre elles, la Women's Improvement Society of Nigeria, qui fut à l'initiative de la conférence d'Ibadan. Sa présidente de l'époque, Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye, aujourd'hui âgée de 99 ans, se remémore ces combats : « Avant l'indépendance, nous n'étions pas traitées de manière égale, nous étions toujours reléguées au second plan, nous n'étions pas aux avant-postes... Notre préoccupation, c'était l'égalité salariale pour un travail égal. À cette époque, pour faire le même travail, j'étais payée le tiers de moins qu'un homme. Nous avons combattu cela et nous avons gagné ». Les femmes se considéraient alors prêtes à assumer de nouveaux rôles au-delà de leurs foyers, comme l'expliquait dans son discours au congrès une représentante de l'Union des femmes togolaises : « Maintenant que l'indépendance est acquise, les Africaines devraient faire face à de nouvelles tâches pour l'édification de la nation. Le rang de la femme est, dans leur société, la pierre angulaire. L'avancement se basera sur le progrès que fera la femme ». Toutefois l'unité féminine panafricaine née à Ibadan n'a pas survécu aux indépendances. Les logiques nationales ont vite pris le pas sur les discours unitaires. Même si des alliances féminines subsistent, fondées cette fois sur des affinités politiques.

Everyone's arguing about whether Tyla should've cancelled her Lagos show. Femi Makx aka Oluwafemi Makanjuola is asking a different question: what happens when this becomes the new normal?In one week, Tyla's Nigeria concert disappeared, Ayra Starr got denied entry into South Africa, and a Nigerian senator called for visa retaliation against South African artists. Three separate headlines. One pattern. In this solo breakdown, Femi traces where this is actually heading, and why the artists caught in the middle might be the first casualties of a crisis they didn't create.Amapiano is in every Nigerian playlist. Afrobeats runs through South African clubs. That relationship is now on the clock.

Send us Fan MailA private journal can turn into a global ministry if you stay faithful long enough. We sit with Pastor Jude Chinwoko, CEO and pastor, to unpack how years of Bible study notes, mentorship material, and retreat insights became powerful YouVersion devotionals that spread across 132 countries in weeks and later grew into dozens of reading plans. Along the way, he shares what he learned about writing devotionals that connect, keeping your message clear, and using the YouVersion Bible app as a real discipleship tool, not just another notification on your phone.We also get honest about formation and balance. Pastor Jude explains why Christian growth is systematic, why the mind needs renewing, and how servant leadership shaped him from campus fellowship days to serving under strong spiritual leadership in Lagos. If you've ever wondered how to balance ministry and marketplace success, marriage, parenting teenagers, and entrepreneurship without burning out, he points to a simple framework: grace plus capacity built over time, with integrity at the center.Then the conversation expands into nation-building and identity. We talk about Nigeria's power sector, why he believes the country can become a regional power hub, and how Future of Power Africa is reshaping the narrative around possibility and responsible leadership. Finally, we dive into his book “Forgiven,” a message of hope and identity in Christ for anyone stuck in shame, mistakes, or background.If this resonates, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
