Today's Headlines: The Senate unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but Trump still hasn't signed it — and with new “active investigations” conveniently launched by AG Pam Bondi, there's a built-in excuse to redact whatever he wants. And again: Trump could release the files anytime, so the delay is… telling. Trump's politically motivated case against James Comey is unraveling after it came out the grand jury never saw the actual final indictment. On Ukraine, Trump is floating a plan that would hand Russia more eastern territory in exchange for a U.S. “security guarantee” for Ukraine — which seems like a great way to encourage more Russian aggression. At the U.S.–Saudi investment forum, Trump publicly trashed his own Fed chair and threatened his Treasury Secretary over interest rates. Totally stable behavior. And finally, Nicki Minaj is now functioning as Trump's unofficial diplomat, giving a U.N. speech about alleged anti-Christian extremism in Nigeria — a claim contradicted by actual data and Nigeria's own government, but politically useful for the administration, so here we are.

Send us a textNew music lit the fuse this week, and we had thoughts. We dig into Summer Walker's latest drop with honest, replay-tested reactions—from that Brent Faiyaz opener and a standout Lotto verse to Anderson .Paak's gut-punch on 1-800 Heartbreak. Then we pivot to Wale's Everything Is A Lot and give it the respect it earns: an intro that bleeds real life, themes that sit with loss and pressure, and the reminder that consistency matters even when the internet forgets.We keep the spotlight on artists who are building in real time with a genuine plug for J Amari's Off The Bleachers, produced with AYO Chris. Expect specific track love, where to find it fast, and why exceeding expectations is worth celebrating. Then the room gets candid about Kevin Gates' comments on dating younger women—unpacking preference vs. power, how language reveals intent, and why “training” a partner isn't the flex some men think it is.Nostalgia hits hard as we map the B2K and Bow Wow tour like event architects: who should open, who should cool the crowd down, where to drop Nuck If You Buck without starting a mid-show mosh, and which act should close. It's a fun, strategic walk through the 2000s catalog that holds its own today. The tone sharpens again as we talk Nicki Minaj speaking at the UN about religious persecution in Nigeria, why credibility and context matter, and how politics collide with fandom. We ask hard questions about platforms, consistency, and whether “canceling” without nuance helps anyone.FOLLOW. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE.

À Washington, le Congrès américain doit examiner ce jeudi la requête de Donald Trump, qui veut intégrer le Nigeria à la liste des pays « particulièrement préoccupants » en matière de liberté religieuse. Ce vote tombera 48 heures après l'attaque meurtrière d'une église de l'Ouest du pays pendant une messe retransmise en direct. Les chrétiens sont-ils vraiment persécutés au Nigeria ? Quelles seraient les conséquences d'un vote pro-Trump au Congrès ? Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos est directeur de recherches à l'IRD, l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement. Il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, est-ce que les chrétiens sont persécutés au Nigeria ?   Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos : Il peut y avoir certaines zones où il y a des discriminations contre les minorités. Donc en l'occurrence confessionnelles, ça peut être des mouvements évangéliques ou même des catholiques, notamment dans le Nord à dominante musulmane. Mais il faut voir qu'à l'inverse, les musulmans peuvent aussi être victimes de ces discriminations dans des régions à dominante chrétienne, plutôt dans le sud-est par exemple. Alors il y avait une attaque qui avait frappé les esprits. C'était le jour de Noël de l'année 2012. C'était dans la région d'Abuja, à Matala Zuba précisément. Un commando armé avait attaqué une église en pleine messe de Noël. Le prêtre et cinq fidèles avaient été tués. Oui, il y a quelquefois des églises qui sont prises pour cible, notamment par des groupes jihadistes comme la mouvance Boko Haram dans le nord-est, qui là, en l'occurrence, avait frappé plus dans la région centrale autour de la capitale fédérale. Il faut savoir que dans les nombreuses violences qui agitent le Nigeria, il y a également des mosquées qui sont prises pour cible et qui vont être brûlées, qui vont être attaquées, pas forcément d'ailleurs par des chrétiens. Souvent, les groupes jihadistes s'en prennent d'abord aux musulmans, et l'essentiel des victimes, par exemple de Boko Haram, ce sont des musulmans, rappelons-le, parce que c'est mathématique. Ils agissent dans une région qui est surtout peuplée de musulmans. Leurs victimes sont essentiellement civiles et parmi leurs victimes, il y a aussi effectivement des chrétiens qui peuvent être ciblés comme chrétiens. Alors tout de même, c'était le 16 novembre dernier à Rome, le pape Léon XIV s'est adressé à la foule place Saint-Pierre, en dénonçant les persécutions des chrétiens à travers le monde, notamment « au Bangladesh, au Nigeria, au Mozambique et au Soudan ». Oui, alors il y a un index qui sort sur les persécutions des chrétiens dans le monde et qui donc fait état d'homicides en arguant que ces personnes sont tuées non pas pour être dépouillées, volées de leur voiture ou de leur portefeuille, mais bien à cause de leur dénomination chrétienne. En réalité, il y a des chrétiens qui sont ciblés au Nigeria dans le cadre de conflits fonciers, notamment dans la ceinture centrale du Nigeria, qui voient des éleveurs musulmans s'opposer à des cultivateurs chrétiens. Et là, effectivement, les églises peuvent être des marqueurs identitaires. Donc, on va brûler un village, on va aussi s'en prendre à une église. Ça peut être aussi des lieux de refuge. Et donc effectivement, là, on voit aussi des ciblages autour de lieux de culte qui visent explicitement les chrétiens. Mais derrière, les dessous de ces conflits ne sont pas fondamentalement d'ordre confessionnel. Ce n'est pas sur la manière de prier ou de croire. Ce sont d'abord des conflits fonciers, des conflits politiques, sur le partage du pouvoir, sur la compétition pour les ressources. Et puis, ne l'oublions pas, au Nigeria, plus de 200 millions d'habitants, il y a une pression démographique qui s'accroît. Et donc, dans certains cas, on voit que ces conflits fonciers opposent des chrétiens aux musulmans. Que pensez-vous de Donald Trump qui accuse le président Bola Tinubu de tolérer les meurtres de chrétiens par des terroristes islamistes ? Oui, alors le point important, c'est qu'il n'accuse pas le gouvernement de commettre le génocide lui-même mais de laisser faire. Donc effectivement, il y a un gros problème au niveau de l'appareil coercitif du Nigeria avec une police qui, disons, ne performe pas, qui n'est pas professionnelle, qui tue énormément aussi beaucoup de civils. La même chose pour l'armée. Il se trouve qu'en plus il y a une configuration en ce moment politique au Nigeria qui fait que le président est musulman et le vice-président est également musulman. Or, d'habitude, il y a une règle non-écrite, ce n'est pas une règle constitutionnelle, mais qui veut que si le président est musulman, son vice-président sera chrétien et inversement. Donc là, on a une configuration un peu particulière qui va donner du grain à moudre aussi sur tous ces lobbys évangéliques qui s'en prennent aux musulmans, à l'élite musulmane du nord qui est accusée de laisser faire les « terroristes peuls », puisque les éleveurs peuls sont tous rangés dans la catégorie des terroristes, ce qui tend à donner une dimension très ethnique à ces conflits, quoi qu'il en soit de leur aspect confessionnel. Aujourd'hui, cette croisade en faveur des chrétiens du Nigeria est renforcée par une superstar du rap américain, Nicki Minaj. Est-ce que cela ne pèse pas dans l'opinion publique américaine et dans le vote à venir du Congrès américain ce jeudi ? Alors, le fait qu'il y ait des stars du rap qui s'engagent effectivement dans cette campagne va évidemment jouer en faveur des lobbys évangéliques du Nigeria qui pressent le Congrès de mettre en place des sanctions économiques. Alors eux demandent des sanctions économiques, ils ne demandent pas une intervention militaire. Et de toute façon, même les leaders chrétiens du Nigeria se sont opposés à l'éventualité d'une intervention militaire américaine qui, dans tous les cas, est complètement improbable. C'est le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. On ne voit pas très bien comment l'armée américaine pourrait intervenir dans un terrain plus que compliqué, puisque là, vous allez poster des soldats américains autour de chaque église de l'Etat du Plateau, dans le centre du pays. Ça n'a absolument aucun sens. À lire aussiLes propos de Trump sur le Nigeria sont «irresponsables et criminels», dit le prix Nobel Wole Soyinka

Die for Capital!The overview of this two part series is structured thusly: We will start off with the oil Sector. Why it matters in terms on the control of global markets, pricing and as such how that attempt to weaken adversaries such as Russia, Iran and China. But also it is necessary for the American ruling class as it wants cheap access to oil, in order to keep productions costs low etc.Then we will talk about Venezuela in terms of its proximity to the Panama Canal which generates a lot of paranoia in the USA with regard to the BRI potential, China's access to key trade locations that threaten US influence in the region but also the global economy. Then the military angle, which is linked to the Cuban missile crises paranoia, as Venezuela and Russia have also signed a strategic anti-hegemon partnership which was ratified by Russia last month. What does it mean? Then we will move onto rare earth, which is very important and multi-layered. Rare-earths are becoming one of the most valuable resources due to high-tech, and the race for AI. How the US is completely de industrialized and How that links to Sudan as well as even the past war on Yemen and Congo. We will discuss this new engagement with Nigeria. And finally in conclusion, why civil war and chaos favors capital, and why so little is done to end the ethnic cleansing in Sudan or Forstall a war with Venezuela or come up with a workable peace plan (for it could never be a liberation plan) in Gaza.

There's only one thing on John Obi Mikel's mind in this episode of Taking the Mikel: Nigeria's failure to reach the World Cup Finals. Again. The former Super Eagles captain calls for every member of the NFF to stand down in the wake of their defeat to DR Congo, opens the door to joining a new-look board IF certain criteria is met and asks the question: why hasn't any African nation used ‘voodoo practices' to actually win the World Cup? Eric Chelle's long-term future as coach also comes under the microscope while Obi Mikel makes no secret of the fact over who he'll be supporting next summer now. A must-listen for all Nigerian football fans struggling to come to terms with their side's World Cup demise and eager to see a regime chance at the top of the Nigerian Football Federation.

Send us a textReady to name the fear behind a big career leap? We start with the uncomfortable truth: stepping into leadership is hard when you've rarely seen anyone who looks like you survive and thrive there. That honesty opens a wide-angle look at credibility, negotiation, and why “director” should be a strategic choice, not a trap. You'll hear practical pay tactics, a clear-eyed read on gender politics, and a call to claim the audacity usually reserved for the loudest voices in the room while anchoring everything in real delivery.We pivot into brand strategy with a surgical breakdown of Fenty Beauty, LVMH, and the “core asset test.” What happens when a revolutionary launch becomes industry standard and the parent company cares most about Sephora and Dior? The answer matters to every founder: positioning must live beyond a single hook, and product lines should pass the test of whether they strengthen your core. Still, Rihanna's two-billion-dollar empire stands as a masterclass in ownership, reminding us that downside cycles don't erase value when you build for longevity.Authenticity in entrepreneurship gets a frank treatment access, capital, and networks change the starting line. We separate story from spin so creators can plan with clarity. Then we look outward: a UN spotlight on persecution in Nigeria, the Sahel's power realignment, and why humanitarian language can mask resource strategy. Closer to home, we press on London's EV congestion charge and how shifting justifications erode policy trust. Finally, we talk about the UK's curriculum overhaul AI literacy, oracy, and media scepticism to prepare young people for a world where synthesis beats rote learning. And yes, we celebrate the launch of Sister Scribble, a premium stationery brand designed to bring back tactile creativity and intention.If this conversation pushes you to ask better questions about your next move career, company, or community hit follow, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 18, 2025. 0:30 We break down a major federal court decision with sweeping implications for the Constitution and the balance of power between states and Washington. A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s challenge to New York’s law blocking federal immigration agents from making arrests inside state courthouses—raising an urgent question: Can a state legally obstruct the enforcement of federal law? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Mohammed Bin Salman arrived in Washington D.C. today for a state visit at the White House.The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to the US to finalize several trade deals with the Trump administration.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at a growing internal revolt inside the Democratic Party—one that could spell the end of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Schumer is being pushed out by a party base that has moved far to the left of him. With Senator Cory Booker publicly framing Schumer’s generation of Democrats as the past, we break down what that political language really signals: an impending transfer of power. 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the sudden and dramatic shift in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public persona—why she’s showing up on left-wing media, apologizing on CNN, clashing with fellow MAGA Republicans, and now openly feuding with President Trump himself. From her failed push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson to her sharp turn toward “unity” messaging, the mamas sort through the contradictions and speculate about the ambition, pressure, and possible political maneuvering behind it all. They also explore why so many once-rising conservative stars—from Dan Crenshaw to MTG—seem to lose their footing in Washington, and whether a shaky ideological foundation makes politicians vulnerable to shifting with the political winds. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Northwestern University’s newest “well-being initiative”: a free vending machine stocked with everything from Narcan and fentanyl test strips to condoms and Plan B. By placing life-saving tools, basic necessities, and abortion-inducing medication side-by-side—accessible at the push of a button—the university is sending a troubling moral message: that all choices carry the same weight and all consequences can be conveniently erased. 26:30 We tackle an unexpected moment of honesty from longtime media insider Fareed Zakaria. Despite his résumé across some of the nation’s most left-leaning outlets, Zakaria used his CNN platform to spotlight a politically inconvenient truth: America’s affordability crisis is overwhelmingly concentrated in places governed by Democrats. We Dig Deep into into why policies in deep-blue states like New York and California consistently deliver higher costs and poorer outcomes, even as voters continue re-electing the same leaders. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about the misnamed Affordable Care Act that has made healthcare less affordable by adding layers of bureaucracy. Costs could be lowered through greater price transparency from hospitals and clinics, and by eliminating “concierge” health insurance that covers routine, guaranteed services like checkups. Instead, insurance should function like car or home insurance—covering unexpected, high-cost events, not routine maintenance. 35:30 Plus, Nicki Minaj publicly supported President Trump’s comments about global Christian persecution, and that's a Bright Spot. Though known for explicit music and public feuds, Minaj identifies as a Christian, and Christianity is about grace, not perfection. After Minaj reposted Trump’s message, UN Ambassador Mike Walz invited her to speak at the United Nations, where she thanked Trump for drawing attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. 40:00 After years of positioning herself as one of Trump's strongest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Trump a "traitor." She's leaning into fringe conspiracy theories like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson with their theories about Charlie Kirk. At some point, we just have to say, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with a day in 1883 that changed the way we keep time.

Today's Morning Espresso dives into a massive World Cup qualifying day: Spain looking untouchable, Scotland and Denmark walking the Hampden tightrope, Wales chasing another Cardiff night, and a Concacaf finale full of chaos, revenge narratives, and Curacao on the brink of history. We'll also hit Germany and the Netherlands cruising, Nigeria's painful miss, and why Japan's confidence is sky-high heading toward 2026.On top of that, we unpack the latest World Cup off-the-field headlines (U.S. visa plans, DoorDash's FIFA deal, Conmebol's qualifier shake-up), set up USMNT–Uruguay and the looming Portugal friendly in Atlanta, dig into Denver Summit FC's stadium standoff, and run through MLS and global news in The Refill. The game never stops — and neither do we, on the SDH Network. The Morning Espresso is brought to you as always by Oglethorpe University.

Cruel laws, cruel outcomes. Kevin and Bill discuss nations and states that have become "self-conscious in their cruelty," then urges presidents, parliaments, and pastors alike to act within their God-given lanes: the magistrate to restrain murder; the church to preach Christ crucified, pray, and love enemies—calling all to turn while there's time.

In Nigeria, the word chop is used for food and feasting, and to say "come chop" is an invitation into sharing and community. This is precisely how Ozoz Sokoh's debut cookbook, Chop Chop: Cooking the Food of Nigeria begins. It is warm, inviting, and open to all those who are interested in learning about Nigerian cuisine, and the role of home cooks in creating the most beloved classic Nigerian dishes.  Ozoz herself is a food explorer, educator, and traveler by plate. She is a professor of Food and Tourism Studies at Centennial College, and makes her home with her three teenage children in Mississauga, part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation in Ontario, Canada. Her work documents and celebrates Nigerian and West African cuisine, and she is particularly fascinated by all the ways we're similar. Be it through dishes, drinks, material culture or more, Ozoz explores these across geographies, cultures, and histories, in spite of our apparent differences.  In today's conversation, we explore a wide range of the history and future of Nigerian cuisine, including the stories of how ingredients came to be in Nigerian dishes, the homegrown love of protein (and why it's not the relationship to protein you'd expect in a Western lens), and how Ozoz approaches exploring the histories of recipes and cuisine across Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Angel is talking to Bobby about recreating their Colorado vibes with a Potomac fixer-upper.Tia FaceTimes her mom Yetunde—cocktail in hand—who hints that a “surprise” is coming for her. Sienna (16) immediately wants to know where her surprise is.Ashley heads to Baltimore to visit Monique, who's officially back in Potomac Nation. The two have nine years of on-and-off friendship, and Ashley fills her in on the Stacey situation—specifically that Stacey has allegedly been going on dates with Monique's ex-husband, Chris Samuels. Monique wants to avoid drama but agrees to join Ashley's Pride float—Gizelle included.Over at Wendy's house, she and Eddie are renovating everything. Wendy gets emotional explaining that her father, still in Nigeria, didn't acknowledge her birthday—yet happily blasted a birthday message for someone else days later. Her stepfather filled that father role until his death, and she misses that connection deeply.Elsewhere, Stacey is launching her cannabis line,  Shayo, inspired by her Nigerian roots. Despite the chatter, she says she's not copying Happy Eddie's brand. Wendy agrees the industry is big enough for everyone.Angel meets up with her sister Ingrid and admits she felt humiliated by Gizelle calling her out for being too filtered on the blogs. Ingrid gently reminds her Gizelle has filtered many a photo too.Tia checks in with her twins—especially Lexi, whose birthday party got so wild the police were called because someone was leaking the address. But Lexi had it under control.Gizelle is dealing with her own family stress: her late father's will was reportedly changed in the hospital when he was incapable of doing so.Greg shows off his new house as the group gears up for Pride.

TMT opens with a Sunday sermon on tenderness before the boys autopsy the week's millennial exodus—timelines scrubbed, handles vanished, and a decade of tweets dug up like generational curses. “Chaos is a ladder,” they joke, then climb right into it: cancel culture vs. shamelessness, victimhood logic, and why the internet keeps scoring real life in W's and L's like it's monkey post.They pivot to the fan–artist contract after the Burna Boy clip—customers might pay for tickets, but empathy is priceless—then get properly paranoid about platforms: encrypt the DMs and encrypt the search bar. Political mess leaks in as the boys dig into Epstein, Trump, and BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. Music ties the bow: a fresh look at SARZ's album (executive brilliance vs. production flex), Odunsi's cinematic rollout, the Wale Afrobeats viral moment, and flowers for emerging artists—Deji Osikoya and Ayoade Bamgboye. It's love amid chaos, Lagos humor with global stakes, and a reminder that outside the outrage machine, there's grass, real life, and rice at home.Press play now—touch grass later.

In Nigeria, genotype goes beyond medicine, it shapes relationships, marriage choices, and family planning.While focus often rests on sickle cell patients with the SS genotype, questions remain about whether AA people are truly healthier than AS or SS. Today on Nigeria Daily, we explore these beliefs through the voices of Nigerians and the insights of a medical doctor.

Yet again, Jeffrey Epstein is in the news, as President Trump changed his mind and called for the release of all the files. Will Congress vote to finally release everything so we can put this story behind us? Glenn predicts that no one of high seniority in the government will be exposed if the Epstein files are released. Glenn speaks on rapper Nicki Minaj traveling to the United Nations to speak out against the slaughtering of Christians in Nigeria. CNN senior political contributor Scott Jennings joins to discuss his latest book, "A Revolution of Common Sense," which breaks down President Trump's return to Washington. The time of the progressive era is over, Glenn warns, and the time of the socialist era is arriving. Democrats used to love tariffs until Trump began implementing them. What happened? Glenn discusses his interview with the Cracker Barrel CEO over the botched rebrand attempt that nearly took the company down.

You really wanna be able to showcase legacy. You really want to be able to showcase how has it impacted that woman who would have never had access to capital if we didn't show up.""Female founders actually generate more revenue than their male counterpart. For every dollar invested in a startup, a female founder returns 2.5 times more revenue than her male counterpart.""If you're an investor that's allocating capital, you can no longer afford to ignore or avoid the African continent, because this is really where the growth in the next 30 to 50 years is gonna come from."About Adesuwa: Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes is the founder and Managing Partner of Arura Capital, a pioneering private equity fund investing in female-founded, female-led, and female-focused businesses across Africa.

Nigeria won't be at the World Cup

In this homily on November 16th, 2025, Fr Mathias preaches on Jesus' warning to his disciples about persecution they will endure. Christian persecution is not something of the past, but is very much happening today, especially in Nigeria. Father exhorts us to persevere in our faith no matter how people around us treat us so that we can secure our lives in heaven. He closes his homily with a prayer asking God for the gift of courage and perseverance.

Le Nigeria est de nouveau dans le viseur de l'administration Trump. Le président américain a récemment menacé le pays d'une intervention militaire pour protéger les chrétiens du Nigeria, qui seraient victimes, selon lui, de violences ciblées sous l'œil indifférent des autorités. Le Nigeria a été réintégré à la liste américaine des « pays particulièrement préoccupants en matière de liberté religieuse », dont il était sorti en 2021. Avant cela, Washington avait déjà annoncé un durcissement considérable des conditions d'obtention de visas « non immigrants » pour les citoyens nigérians désireux de se rendre aux États-Unis. Fin octobre, l'écrivain Wole Soyinka a également révélé que son visa américain avait été annulé. RFI a rencontré, à Paris, le premier prix Nobel africain de littérature, en 1986, qui a toujours été une voix critique de la politique de Donald Trump. RFI : Pensez-vous retourner un jour aux États-Unis ?   Wole Soyinka : J'en doute vraiment. C'est peu probable   Récemment, vous avez annoncé que votre visa américain avait été révoqué. Pour quelles raisons exactement ?   C'est un problème ancien qui remonte déjà à la première élection de Donald Trump. J'enseignais aux États-Unis et j'ai vu l'émergence de cette rhétorique politique à la fois raciste, exclusioniste, mais aussi égocentrique. Et en général extrêmement méprisant vis-à-vis des immigrés et même des étrangers. Rappelez-vous, quand il est arrivé au pouvoir, il a désigné un certain nombre de pays comme « des pays de merde », pardonnez l'expression. Je l'ai compris dès la campagne et j'ai promis que si cet homme arrivait au pouvoir, je déchirerais ma carte verte. C'est exactement ce que j'ai fait. Pourtant, après cela, vous avez quand même obtenu un autre visa pour les États-Unis ?  Oui, parce que, peu après avoir déchiré ma carte verte, j'ai reçu un courrier de l'administration fiscale américaine, pour m'annoncer que j'allais avoir un contrôle fiscal. Donc, je suis allé à l'ambassade au Nigeria, je leur ai expliqué que j'avais détruit mon permis de résidence aux États-Unis, mais que je ne voulais pas être considéré comme un fraudeur ou un fugitif. J'ai demandé un nouveau visa pour répondre à cette missive.  C'est ce visa qui vient d'être annulé ?  Oui, c'est correct. Cette fois, je n'ai même pas pris la parole. J'ai été directement ciblé, comme d'autres gens. J'ai reçu une lettre générique du consulat, une lettre qu'ils ont aussi adressée à d'autres Nigérians – et j'en suis sûr, aux citoyens d'autres pays – pour me demander de me présenter à un entretien. Parce que, je cite, « il y a eu des changements depuis l'émission de votre visa ». Ils me demandaient de me présenter au consulat, avec mon passeport. Je suis trop occupé pour cela et je savais très bien qu'ils avaient déjà pris leur décision, donc je n'y suis pas allé. Depuis que Donald Trump est revenu au pouvoir aux États-Unis, les immigrés sont ramassés dans la rue, au restaurant, et même dans les écoles. Je n'ai pas vraiment envie d'être associé à ce que cette société est devenue sous Donald Trump. Plus récemment, Donald Trump a fait de nouvelles déclarations concernant le Nigeria. Selon lui, les Chrétiens seraient les victimes d'une violence ciblée dans le pays. Qu'en pensez-vous ?   D'abord, c'est arrogant, mais c'est aussi profondément irresponsable. Je ne connais aucun pays à travers le monde qui ne connait pas de frictions. Bien sûr, il n'est pas question de nier l'existence d'extrémistes religieux au Nigeria et plus spécifiquement d'islamistes intégristes. Je le dis ouvertement. D'ailleurs, j'ai même écrit une pièce sur le meurtre d'une jeune étudiante, accusée de blasphème, qui a été lynchée et déshumanisée. On sait qu'il y a un problème. Mais c'est un acte extrêmement hostile lorsqu'une personne venue de l'extérieur exacerbe et exagère ce problème.   Il y a des tensions, il y a des violences, notamment entre les fermiers et les éleveurs. Des centaines de personnes ont été tuées dans ce conflit. Parfois, la religion est en cause, mais souvent, c'est plutôt une question économique. Bien sûr, les enlèvements d'enfants contre rançon sont des actes criminels. Mais choisir un aspect du problème, et affirmer que c'est la religion qui est au centre de toutes ces violences, ce n'est pas seulement mauvais, c'est aussi criminel. Rappelez-vous les mots qu'il a utilisés pour menacer le Nigeria d'une intervention militaire. Il a dit que les américains attaqueraient « armes à la main » et que ce serait « rapide, vicieux et doux ». Est-ce vraiment le genre de déclarations que l'on attend d'un leader ? Un chef d'État n'a pas le droit d'être simpliste. Et surtout n'a absolument pas le droit de creuser encore les divisions qui existent déjà. Il n'y a pas de société sans tensions, même aux États-Unis.   Pour finir, au mois d'octobre, le théâtre national de Lagos a rouvert ses portes sous le nom de Centre Wole Soyinka pour la culture et les arts créatifs. Appréciez-vous cette attention pour votre 90e anniversaire ?   Oui, c'est évidemment un honneur. Mais celui-ci devait-il m'être attribué ? C'est une autre question. Notamment lorsque vous avez passé, comme moi, toute votre vie à traverser toutes sortes de dictatures, où les dirigeants donnent leur nom à tout et n'importe quoi, y compris à des toilettes publiques.  Je suis indifférent à ce genre de chose. J'ai vécu ma vie, j'ai fait mon travail, je suis satisfait. À lire aussiDonald Trump en croisade pour protéger les chrétiens africains?

The horrific slaughter of Christians in Nigeria has caught the attention of President Donald Trump and the United States government. Trump has tapped Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., to provide a report about the situation unfolding in Nigeria, where estimates place the number of slaughtered Christians well over 50,000 since 2009, with more than 7,000 of these deaths having occurred in 2025 alone.  In Congress, Moore was one of the first voices drawing attention to the intensifying atrocities committed against Christians in Nigeria, and he joins ⁠“The Signal Sitdown”⁠ this week to discuss. “Nigeria is the most dangerous countries on the face of the planet to be a Christian,” Moore told ⁠The Daily Signal.⁠ “This has been happening for a very long time, and it's getting worse and worse and worse every year.” Keep Up With The Daily Signal   Sign up for our email newsletters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠     Subscribe to our other shows:    The Tony Kinnett Cast: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939⁠ The Signal Sitdown: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376⁠   Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741⁠   Victor Davis Hanson: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327⁠     Follow The Daily Signal:    X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1⁠    Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.
