After what felt like a long pause from the music scene, the self-proclaimed Mayor of Lagos returned to remind everyone that his tenure is far from over. On this episode of the Cha Cha Album Review Series, I break down Mayorkun’s third studio album, Still The Mayor — and trust me, Mayorkun still sabi this music thing.Released on June 13, Still The Mayor is a 12-track project with a 31-minute runtime, making it a smooth and easy listen from start to finish. The album features an impressive lineup of artists including Fireboy DML, Davido, Rotimi, King Promise, Olivetheboy, Dremo, The Flowolf, and Michii. Production credits span some heavy hitters such as Speroach Beatz, Agbada Prince, Igor Mabano, and others who helped shape the album’s sound.There’s no doubt that Mayorkun is a certified hitmaker, and this project reinforces that claim. After many people had written him off, Still The Mayor feels like a statement album — one that says, “I’m still here, and my spot can’t be taken.”Tune in to hear the full breakdown, favorite moments, and why this album proves that the Mayor’s reign isn’t over yet

« Pour arrêter un putsch, il faut que la Cédéao et les États voisins du pays touché interviennent immédiatement, sans laisser le temps aux putschistes de réussir leur coup », dit en substance l'universitaire nigérian Jibrin Ibrahim, cinq jours après les frappes aériennes du Nigeria contre les putschistes du Bénin. Le professeur Jibrin Ibrahim est chercheur principal au Center for Democracy and Development, le Centre pour la démocratie et le développement, à Abuja au Nigeria. Deux jours avant le prochain sommet de la Cédéao à Abuja, il présente la nouvelle stratégie de Lagos, au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Jibrin Ibrahim, l'intervention militaire du Nigeria au Bénin, est-ce que c'est le signe d'un retour de votre pays sur la scène ouest-africaine ? Jibrin Ibrahim : Oui, peut-être, comme dans les années 1980-1990, quand le Nigeria était très actif, comme policier de la démocratie et de la stabilité politique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Est-ce que l'ère du précédent président nigérian Muhammadu Buhari est terminée avec le président Bola Tinubu qui est en poste depuis 2023 ? Absolument. Le président Tinubu est plus actif que Buhari. Buhari ne voulait pas faire quoi que ce soit. Il était au palais présidentiel et il ne faisait pas grand-chose. Pourquoi le Nigeria est-il intervenu le 7 décembre 2025 contre les putschistes béninois et pas en juillet 2023, contre les putschistes du Niger ? Je pense qu'à Niamey, en 2023, le Nigeria a essayé d'intervenir après les faits et que c'était vraiment difficile, car le nouveau régime était déjà installé. Cette fois-ci, l'idée c'était d'intervenir avant que le coup d'État ne réussisse. Et je pense que c'est une question de méthode. Donc, la leçon de ces derniers jours, c'est que si le Nigeria et la Cédéao veulent empêcher des putschs, il faut intervenir immédiatement ? Exactement. C'est le seul moyen de réussir ce genre d'intervention. Est ce qu'il y a, derrière l'intervention de dimanche dernier, la volonté de mettre un coup d'arrêt à l'épidémie des coups d'État en Afrique de l'Ouest ? Oui, effectivement, il faut savoir qu'il y a un problème de base. Chaque régime actuellement en Afrique de l'Ouest a peur d'un coup d'État. Donc, c'est pour se protéger soi-même. Quand on regarde l'Afrique de l'Ouest actuelle, le Nigeria, le Togo, la Côte d'Ivoire et d'autres pays ont peur d'un coup d'État dans leur propre pays. Donc, protéger d'autres pays contre le coup d'État, c'est se protéger soi-même. Et pour arrêter ce risque, il faut intervenir chaque fois qu'il y a une tentative dans la région. Moi, je pense qu'il est important en Afrique de l'Ouest maintenant de développer une stratégie de ceux qui veulent maintenir la démocratie, qu'ils travaillent ensemble contre les forces de déstabilisation politique et l'arrivée des militaires au pouvoir. Lors du putsch en Guinée-Bissau le mois dernier, le Nigeria n'est pas intervenu militairement, mais il a décidé d'accorder tout de même l'asile politique à l'opposant Fernando Dias, qui est donc réfugié dans l'enceinte de votre ambassade à Bissau. Est-ce que c'est un message aux putschistes  Ça fait longtemps que le Nigeria fait comme ça. Félix Malloum, l'ancien président du Tchad, a été accueilli au Nigéria en 1979, je pense. Donc, il y a cette tradition au Nigeria d'essayer d'intervenir dans les conflits africains. Et quand il y a une crise qui touche le chef de l'État, le Nigeria est toujours prêt à offrir l'exil. Il y a un autre opposant qui proclame sa victoire à une présidentielle de cette fin d'année, c'est le Camerounais Issa Tchiroma Bakary. Depuis le 7 novembre, il s'est réfugié en Gambie. Mais pour aller de Garoua à Banjul, il a dû passer nécessairement par votre pays, non ? Il semble bien qu'il est passé par le Nigeria puisqu'il a traversé la frontière. Il est allé jusqu'à Yola et, à partir de Yola, on lui a donné un avion pour l'amener. C'est ce que les gens disent. Alors pourquoi le Nigeria ne lui a pas accordé l'asile politique ? Et pourquoi Issa Tchiroma a-t-il dû s'éloigner jusqu'en Gambie ? Le Cameroun est un voisin du Nigeria et il y a des questions sur la table. Il y a la guerre contre Boko Haram. Les deux pays sont obligés de travailler ensemble. Donc, avoir Tchiroma Bakary ici au Nigeria, cela peut poser des problèmes diplomatiques et politiques, il faut éviter cela et s'éloigner est peut-être la meilleure stratégie.

A viral video of Malian model Zahra Haidara burning her wigs has reignited Nigeria's long-running conversation about natural versus artificial hair. Eddy Micah Jr. speaks with DW's Olisa Chukwuma in Lagos, loctician Chukwu Ngozi Blessing and wig stylist Taade Peters to explore why this debate matters — from billion-dollar wig sales to regional pageants banning extensions to promote natural beauty.

What time is it? Christmas time, so it's our vacation! Just kidding, we might have one or two more fun releases for you guys before the end of the year. It's just us in the studio this week, and we talk about our December plans (we can't wait to leave Lagos, of course)… It's also an intense & thought-provoking episode in which we discuss the erosion of real community, friendship, and communal life. We also discuss how impossible it is to solve our societal (and national) issues because of government irresponsibility, rather than individual apathy. We wrap up the episode with some truly interesting (derogatory) dilemmas: thinking your partner is razz & uncultured, and having a friend who secretly hates you. By the way, we also wanted to let guys know we'll be going to see J Hus at Music City Central, and you should get your tickets right hurrr! https://url-shortener.me/2MDOThe Big Bounce Bash (December 21st) tickets are still up for sale at https://tix.africa/bounce-bash-25 Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast on X!

Wine Talks has been watching this woman. She is making waves in a part of the wine world that one might not consider in daily converstaion: Nigeria.  How does one become a Bordeaux specialist in Nigeria? Where does that inspiration come from?  I have to tell you, having Rita Rosa on Wine Talks was like catching a warm breeze off the Mediterranean—unexpected, lively, and full of stories you want to tuck away for a rainy day with a glass of red. I started our conversation, as I often do, thinking I'd heard most things about the global wine world, but Rita took me right to the heart of Nigeria, weaving its vibrancy into the fabric of Bordeaux's storied cellars. Let's be honest: when you hear "African wine market," most folks in the business still think it's in its infancy, maybe a curiosity for big European houses sniffing after emerging markets. But Rita set me straight right from the jump—Nigerians have been drinking wine for quite a while, thank you very much. She explained that Lagos, with its 30 million people and a nightlife that rivals New York, is a place where wine shops mingle with the energy of a city that never sleeps. What struck me most was Rita's insistence that wine, at its core, is about what makes your heart beat and your mouth feel alive—forget the technical jargon for a moment, and just savor the connection it brings between people. I've always found wine to be the great equalizer at the table, but Rita has this beautiful ritual, telling her guests—ministers, commissioners, presidents—to leave their titles at the door and just be human, united by the "elixir which brings all of us joy." And talk about insight—she moved from banking into wine through a happy twist of fate, marrying into a family that started an actual wine store in Nigeria. She didn't just open the doors; she redefined what a wine shop was in Lagos by bringing Bordeaux's best right to West Africa. Rita didn't mince words about what it felt like to be a black woman in the predominantly male, white-dominated world of wine—walking into tasting rooms in Bordeaux and feeling the eyes on her, questioning her authority and knowledge. And yet, her sense of pride in being Nigerian, in holding space for herself and others like her, was palpable. That same energy she poured into her business, her studies, and later into programs like Bordeaux Mentor Week, aiming to open doors for young hopefuls from emerging wine countries. One of my favorite moments was when she shared her disdain for wine pairing rules. Rita throws caution (and orthodoxy) to the wind—she's out there pairing Bordeaux with Nigerian meats and letting guests explore, taste, and challenge all the old conventions. As someone who's never shied from having strong opinions about pairing, I found her approach utterly refreshing. It reminded me of my own tendency to resist being put in a box, especially by tradition-bound French winemakers. Throughout our conversation, Rita kept tying things back to connection, humanity, and the healing power of wine—how her own store in Lagos became not just a business, but a sanctuary during grief. I resonated with that, having seen the same in my own shop over the years. In a world where the market is consolidating, distributors are cautious, and cell phones threaten genuine interaction, Rita's approach stands as a glowing reminder that the heart of wine is, and always should be, its power to bring people together. So here's to Rita—her infectious energy, her resilience, and her vision for a new, more inclusive wine world. I count myself lucky to have had a front-row seat to her story, and if you ever get a chance to pair Amarone with plantains or taste Bordeaux alongside cassava ravioli, take it. That's the kind of experience that makes Wine Talks more than just a podcast—it's a journey.   Or watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CVimDZmf_4g   #WineIndustry #AfricanWine #WomenInWine #WineCulture  

A spectacular graphic novel about the life and times of the legendary Fela Kuti—the Pan-African frontman, multi-instrumentalist, sociopolitical powerhouse, and father of Afrobeat. In Fela: Music Is the Weapon (Amistad, 2025), artist Jibola Fagbamiye and writer Conor McCreery team up to tell the remarkable origin story of one of Nigeria's most famous sons, the King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, who rose to superstardom with his band Africa 70 in the 1970s, during a charged political period for his nation. A once-in-a-lifetime musical talent who innovated the musical genre Afrobeat, Fela was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian military regime. Fela focuses on a pivotal moment in his life, when he and his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the renowned Nigerian suffrage activist, were ruthlessly attacked in their own home by soldiers who suffered no repercussions for their violence. It also explores Fela's complex relationship with women, including his mother and Sandra Izsadore, the American singer and activist who revitalize and inspired him. Over the course of his life, Fela married 27 women, fathered numerous children, and founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, where he and his band lived, declaring themselves independent from military rule. As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk. Chronicling Fela's perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time. Jibola Fagbamiye is a visual artist based in Toronto. His work draws inspiration from his two great loves: African history and North American pop culture.

C'est un véritable casse-tête. Avec une population jeune qui devrait doubler d'ici 2050, l'ensemble des pays d'Afrique subsaharienne est confronté à un problème complexe : comment accompagner le développement de leurs villes qui connaissent les rythmes de croissance les plus rapides du monde ? Lagos et Kinshasa, par exemple, devraient abriter chacune plus de 20 millions d'habitants d'ici 2030 ! (Rediffusion du 28/06/2024). La question du transport est particulièrement complexe. 80% des citadins africains ne possèdent pas de véhicule. Ils dépendent donc de l'offre. Quelle est la meilleure stratégie à adopter pour non seulement fluidifier le trafic, mais aussi pour limiter la pollution ? Antananarivo, la capitale malgache a inauguré cette semaine son téléphérique urbain. Un mode de transport efficace pour désenclaver des quartiers isolés mais qui implique aussi de nombreuses contraintes...

Forty years ago, Shenzhen, China, was little more than a cluster of villages, home to a few hundred thousand people. Today, it holds roughly 20 million residents and ranks among the world's fastest-growing megacities. Yet, unlike other urban centers that have ballooned at similar speeds — Mumbai or Lagos, for example — Shenzhen has largely sidestepped the air pollution, overcrowding and failing infrastructure that often accompany rapid expansion. In the second of a five-part series, The World's Jeremy Siegel explores how the city has been able to avoid the problems typically associated with megacities. The post Lessons from the world's most thriving megacity appeared first on The World from PRX.

As we head into the holiday season, we're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes you might have missed—this one is from 2023.The story takes us to Lagos, where we meet audio producer Mo Isu. Mo suffers from severe anxiety—so severe that he knows it's time to get professional help. But will his stern, old-school father approve? Mo decides to face his fears and have a tough conversation. Since this episode was released, Mo has received an official diagnosis for generalised anxiety disorder. He says the episode became a point of connection, bringing his dad into his life in a new way. And when Mo shared his diagnosis, his dad had a surprising response: it all sounded relatable.
