Podcasts about Nigeria

It's been a year since the last episode was released, and it feels right to drop this today, on the first anniversary of the October 20 massacre at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos, Nigeria. I appreciate your patience during this period. In These Moments coming back soon. If you want to share a story […]

One year ago frustration with police brutality in Nigeria boiled over into massive street demonstrations. Much of the anger was directed at the notorious Special Anti Robbery Squad - or SARS. And soon the slogan “End SARS” was being heard around the world. So, where does Nigeria stand now 12 months on? Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja on Twitter) - that's with 2 ‘j's Guests: Hamzat Lawal an anti corruption activist, photographer Enyene and author Ike Anya. #AfricaDaily

Blessing grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. She was determined to dream big and be successful in spite of the societal expectations that boys went to school and pursued careers and women prepared to stay at home. Blessing came to the USA for college and pursued chemical engineering. Once she entered the male dominated profession, she learned to stand up and advocate for herself and other working moms. Blessing continues that work through Mother Honestly- a community that brings together women and empowers them to stop comparing themselves to others and start defining their own success. 

Nigeria sprudelt über vor Lebensfreude, Kreativität und Fortschrittsglaube. Einerseits. Andererseits leiden das Land und seine Menschen an korrupten Strukturen, Terror und Umweltzerstörung. Von Seele, Geist und (Gemüts)-Zustand der nigerianischen Gesellschaft handeln auch die Lieder des Deutsch-Nigerianischen Musikers Adé Bantu. Mit seiner Band „Bantu“ hält er Nigeria den Spiegel vor – und bleibt trotz aller Widrigkeiten immer optimistisch. Ihren Optimismus findet Tobore Ovuorie nur langsam wieder. 2013 recherchierte die vielfach ausgezeichnete investigative Journalistin zum Thema Menschen- und Organhandel. Für die Recherchen infiltrierte sie als vermeintliche Prostituierte einen Menschenhändlerring. Ihre Geschichte sorgte für einen Aufschrei, nicht nur in Nigeria - aber die Autorin zahlte dafür auch einen hohen Preis. Über Ihre schockierenden und traumatischen Erlebnisse hat sie mit uns gesprochen.

Sans Papiers und Opfer von Menschenhandel. Am europäischen Tag gegen Menschenhandel diskutieren die Journalistin und Buchautorin Tanja Polli und der Stadtberner Chef der Fremdenpolizei, Alexander Ott, über den Umgang mit diesen «Unsichtbaren» in der Gesellschaft. Die Aussicht auf ein besseres Leben lockt sie nach Europa; dass sie in der Schweiz landen, ist manchmal nur Zufall: junge Männer und Frauen. Mit falschen Versprechungen aus ihrer ärmlichen Umgebung weggelockt, landen sie oft in einer harten Realität. In der Schweiz angekommen, werden ihnen die Identitätspapiere weggenommen; ohne legale Aufenthaltserlaubnis sind sie ihren Menschenhändlern auf Gedeih und Verderben ausgeliefert. Wie viele solche «moderne Arbeitssklaven» es in der Schweiz gibt, ist nicht bekannt; etwa 300 werden jedes Jahr als Opfer von Menschenhandel identifiziert; die Dunkelziffer ist höher. Sie prostituieren sich unter erbärmlichen Umständen, putzen, kochen oder schuften auf Baustellen zu Stundenlöhnen von 3.50 Franken oder gratis. Sie kommen aus Rumänien, Bulgarien, aus Nigeria und immer öfter auch aus China. «Sans Papiers» haben manchmal eine ähnliche Geschichte. 90% der Sans-Papier arbeiten schwarz, um ein Auskommen zu haben. Sogar 50% der bezahlten Hausarbeit in der Schweiz wird von Sans-Papiers erledigt. Am europäischen Tag gegen Menschenhandel lanciert die UNO-Organisation für Migration, die IOM, in der Schweiz Aktionswochen zum Thema Menschenhandel, dieses Jahr zum Thema Ausbeutung bei der Arbeit. Wie soll mit diesen Menschen umgegangen werden? Die Politik ist sich bei den Sans Papiers nicht einig, wie ein Blick auf verschiedene politische Vorstösse zeigt. Im Tagesgespräch diskutieren zwei, die direkten Kontakt haben mit den Betroffenen. Tanja Polli ist freie Journalistin und hat ein Buch geschrieben über die Lebensgeschichten von Sans Papiers. Alexander Ott ist der Leiter des Polizeiinspektorats und Chef der Fremdenpolizei der Stadt Bern, er hat jahrzehntelange praktische Erfahrung mit dem Thema. Und hat den Nationalen Aktionsplan gegen Menschenhandel mitgestaltet.

Une émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 15 octobre 2021.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, président de la commission des affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée Nationale.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Nicole Gnesotto, titulaire de la chaire « Union Européenne » au CNAM.Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova.LES DROITES DANS TOUS LEURS ÉTATSLe 9 octobre au Havre, ville dont il est redevenu maire en 2020, Edouard Philippe a lancé sa propre formation politique, baptisée « Horizons », destinée à accélérer la recomposition politique à droite. L'ancien Premier ministre a estimé que le premier défi était de « remettre de l'ordre dans nos comptes et de l'ordre dans nos rues » et que « le premier sujet à régler s'agissant des dépenses, c'est la question des retraites ». Une nouvelle offre politique qui entend « regarder devant », mais qui s'inscrit dans la logique d'une droite « Macron-compatible » pour élargir vers la droite la base électorale d'Emmanuel Macron. Horizons doit tenir son congrès fondateur d'ici à la fin de l'année.Après s'être opposé à toutes formes de primaire et avoir souvent laissé entendre qu'il ne participerait à aucune compétition interne, le 11 octobre, le président des Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand a finalement annoncé qu'il participerait au congrès du parti Les Républicains. Le 4 décembre, il se soumettra donc aux votes des adhérents d'un parti dont il avait claqué la porte en décembre 2017. Il s'opposera alors à Valérie Pécresse, Michel Barnier, Éric Ciotti, Philippe Juvin et Denis Payre. « La droite n'est pas morte hier », s'est ému Damien Abad, chef de file des députés LR et soutien de Bertrand, au lendemain de cette annonce. « Elle ne s'est pas fracturée et fissurée en deux à un moment où nous-mêmes nous devons faire face à deux menaces extérieures, avec Éric Zemmour d'un côté et Edouard Philippe de l'autre. » Une investiture permettrait à Xavier Bertrand, en plus de la force de frappe des 80 000 militants LR revendiqués, de ne plus se soucier de la collecte des 500 signatures et de bénéficier des 8 à 10 millions d'euros mis de côté par le parti pour faire campagne. Selon une récente enquête commandée par la structure du député Les Républicains, Julien Aubert, Oser la France, Xavier Bertrand récoltait 38 % de bonnes opinions au sein des militants Les Républicains, derrière Valérie Pécresse (52 %) et Michel Barnier (58 %). En revanche, chez les électeurs, il est régulièrement donné dans les sondages légèrement devant ses concurrents, et a été pour la première fois le 11 octobre placé par l'IFOP pour Sud Radio à 16 %, ex aequo avec Marine Le Pen, soit en position d'accéder au second tour, tandis qu'Éric Zemmour redescendait à 14%.Devant ou derrière Marine le Pen, Eric Zemmour est, selon, un sondage Odoxa la personnalité politique qui suscite le plus de « rejet » à 59 % contre 9 % de « soutien » et 10 % de « sympathie ». Pour Pascal Perrineau, le presque candidat « est plus le reflet d'une offre politique un peu usée qu'autre chose. Sa force, c'est sa capacité à incarner le dégagisme - or la présidentielle ne devient plus que ça - dans un contexte de profonde droitisation de l'opinion publique ». Au total, les intentions de vote additionnées de Marine Le Pen, Éric Zemmour et Nicolas Dupont-Aignan arrivent aux alentours de 30 %.***AFRIQUE-FRANCE QUOI DE NOUVEAU ?Le « nouveau sommet », Afrique-France s'est tenu le 8 octobre à Montpellier. Il a été le 28ème du genre, a rassemblé 3 000 participants, dont plus d'un millier de jeunes du continent africain (parmi eux près de 350 entrepreneurs) pour des rencontres et des tables rondes entre sociétés civiles africaine, française et de la diaspora, sur des sujets économiques, culturels et politiques. La nouveauté de ce sommet a reposé sur l'absence des présidents africains pour la première fois depuis 1973, date du premier du genre. Il s'agissait « d'écouter la parole de la jeunesse africaine » et de « sortir des formules et réseaux obsolètes », a indiqué l'Elysée. Parallèlement, Montpellier a été le théâtre d'un contre-sommet organisé, notamment, par les organisations militantes Attac et Survie.En session plénière, le Président Macron a dialogué avec des jeunes venus de douze pays africains, pas tous francophones (Afrique du Sud, Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Mali, Niger, République démocratique du Congo, Sénégal, Tunisie). Ce panel a été sélectionné à l'issue des dialogues menés pendant des mois à travers le continent par l'intellectuel camerounais Achille Mbembe, dialogues qui ont abouti à un rapport sur la refondation de la relation entre la France et l'Afrique. Les thèmes retenus étaient la santé, le climat, le colonialisme, l'égalité et la démocratie. L'occasion de tirer un premier bilan des initiatives lancées après l'énoncé d'une feuille de route établie par Emmanuel Macron lors de son discours, fondateur, prononcé en octobre 2017 à l'université de Ouagadougou, au Burkina Faso et d'évoquer les treize propositions du rapport. Achille Mbembe a préconisé également une reconnaissance claire de la colonisation comme crime contre l'humanité.Le chef de l'État a retenu plusieurs des propositions. Il a notamment annoncé la création d'un fonds d'innovation pour la démocratie. Doté de 30 millions d'euros sur trois ans, hébergé par l'Agence française de développement, ce fonds devra soutenir « les acteurs du changement » en Afrique sans que l'on sache encore comment. L'enjeu est d'orienter les investissements directement vers la société civile. Emmanuel Macron a aussi annoncé la création d'une « maison des mondes africains et des diasporas ». et la restitution au Bénin, fin octobre, des 26 œuvres du « Trésor de Béhanzin », provenant du pillage des palais d'Abomey en 1892 par l'armée coloniale.Antoine Glaser, coauteur du livre « Le Piège africain de Macron » remarque qu'« au moment où Emmanuel Macron met fin aux grands-messes entre l'Afrique et la France, la Chine et, tout récemment, la Russie en font. » En 2022, un « sommet Afrique-Europe » devrait se tenir « sous la présidence française de l'Union européenne », a annoncé l'Elysée. On n'en connait pas encore le format.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and an accepted fact?Answer: About six months. And these days, it sure is the truth!!In this 40th episode of Season 2 of TALK JAM, we have a PACKED Political Talk segment to open:It's true that things are moving fast, so today, instead of defining a specific word or phrase, we spent our Political Talk time discussing three major developments NO ONE is talking about--we feel lucky that we found them on the Internet at all!First, a bit about South Africa, which has just filed suit in the country's highest court AGAINST ITS OWN PRESIDENT AND PARLIAMENT... here's why:     https://www.trevorwinchell.com/AmericanPatriotsForum/viewtopic.phpf=110&sid=b371b375eef0870422491b8a5f3ddb54&t=5211&utm_content=13013042&utm_medium=Email&utm_name=Id&utm_source=Actionetics&utm_term=Email2.

Finally, we have interesting news from India--which reports that its largest province (230 million people) is now COVID-FREE. (They have virtually no new cases, and no deaths to report.) How did they do it--and for only $2.65 per household?? And why is NO ONE talking about it?https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/dr-campbell-reveals-reason-behind-indias-ivermectin-blackout/Kelly adds a bit about a prophetic word she thinks we all need to hear:https://rumble.com/vnbivf-barry-wunsch-djt-draw-your-sword.htmlIn our second jam, we turn to the lighter side--a reflection on some of the great sports stories of our lifetime, and how we personally reacted to them and what they meant to us--including the 1972 Olympics, the 1980 Miracle on Ice at Lake Placid, NY, the 2016 Cubs and the 2020 Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.

We speak to a teacher's union leader from eSwatini, where transport workers have joined student and civil society activists after two weeks of protests. Plus, a report from Tanzania on how farmers affected by climate change are using new techniques to adapt to their changing surroundings. And we meet the young hopefuls from Nigeria hoping to make it in the NFL, even though they're new to American football.

Dr. Leana Wen joined us this week to explore her personal history and its revelations, laid out in remarkably candid detail in her newly released memoir, Lifelines: A Doctor's Journey in the Fight for Public Health.  And to speak to the most pressing current challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Her childhood struggles, as a young immigrant Chinese girl living amid insecurity, taught powerful lessons about poverty, race, and health. Her tenure as Health Commissioner in Baltimore, operating in close partnership with the late Congressman Elijah Cummings, opened the way to confront opioid addiction, stigma, maternal and infant mortality, and the acute vulnerabilities of youth. In her new life in the print and cable mediascape, she follows the advice of former Senator Barbara Mikulski: “do what you are best at – and needed for.” The Biden administration needs to up its game with the public: “It's not enough just to get the science right.” It is about values, communication, and public trust. America's hardened polarization -- surrounding vaccines, masking, and distancing -- is too advanced to fix: it is best to focus on engaging individual by individual. Listen to learn more.  Dr. Leana Wen is an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University. She is a contributing columnist at the Washington Post and a CNN medical analyst. She's served as Baltimore's Health Commissioner.  

They are the first people in Ireland to be convicted of human trafficking for a prostitution ring and now Alicia Edosa and Edith Enoghaghase are finding out for themselves what it feels like to be trapped after receiving jail terms of over five years. But an extraordinary story lies behind the headlines of a Midlands sex ring and the madams who ran it, a story that stretches all the way back to slave markets in Nigeria and the practice of voodoo.

Daniel Kumapayi doesn't just want to create pathways toward his own artistic success - he's founded an organization called Àkójọpọ̀, which was built to support musicians in Nigeria who, despite lacking essential resources, are still committed to their own artistic successes. He chats with Garrett about the challenges of international arts philanthropy, the ways that people can support Àkójọpọ̀, and a little about his favorite (and not-so-favorite) Nigerian foods. Scott highlights the many sounds of music created by Indigenous artists, Garrett celebrates a fashion shift in orchestral performance spaces, and more. The guys close with a discussion on gun violence, the over-commodification of cannabis, and the problem of a continue reverence of Christopher Columbus.

Taking inspiration from President Kennedy's Moonshot which united people around a goal to put man on the moon and spurred the development of new technology in the 1960s, the Earthshot Prize is centred around five simple but ambitious goals for our planet. Chhavi Sachdev profiles more of the prize nominees from all around the world. This week Chhavi concentrates on the innovators working to reduce waste, provide clean water and develop clean energy solutions for communities without access to power. Japan is notoriously prone to natural disaster which makes it a perfect testing ground for disaster-management solutions. The Wota Box arose from the urgent need for clean water in locations hit by earthquakes or tsunamis. Using the latest techniques in artificial intelligence it controls a series of filters to remove pollutants and provide essential washing facilities where they're needed most. In Nigeria, Olugbenga Olubanjohas invented a portable battery which can be rented from a vending machine to power mobile phone chargers and laptops, bringing modern communication options to some of the poorest areas of Africa.

A jury orders Tesla to pay A former contractor $137 million because of rampant workplace racism. Full-time Tesla employees are suffering as well. They just can't sue.And Terrance convinces Stephanie to keep watching and Robb to start watching Squid Games on Netflix. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tom O'Keefe is a social impact entrepreneur, and the founder of Stride for Stride, Heart to Cart, and Bostontweet. Stride for Stride is a non-profit running organization that buys race bibs for immigrant, BIPOC, and low-income runners. Their goal is to make races more accessible and more diverse. Tom started Stride for Stride in 2018 after struggling to pay for race bibs and observing that most races lacked diversity - his assumption was that this was due, in part, to the high cost of entry. Since 2018, Stride for Stride has grown to over 60 avid runners from over a dozen countries. They compete in everything from marathons to 5Ks, and even a 50-mile Ultra. All but two of their runners are immigrants representing the following countries; Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, Nigeria, and the United States, as well as Puerto Rico. Discussed in this episode: --Boston globe article on Bostontweet --Story of how Tom met his wife --Rosie's Place --Sid Baptista of PIONEERS Run Crew on Social Sport --Black Men Run --Black Girls Run --Latinos Run --Dominican Runners, NYC --Heart to Cart --Impact Video Group --Donate here or text STRIDE to 44321 Quotes: --“Races are the only sport where you're running with the best of the best—the professionals, like Meb and Shalane. There is no other sport where you're competing with them; you can't play football with Tom Brady. The same thing goes for wage inequity. A CEO makes 258 times what the average employee makes, which is awful, but if those two guys run the same race, the employee could beat the CEO. How empowering is that?” --“When you finish a race, you're high-fiving everyone. That's all you care about—that you ran. You're just so happy for yourself and for everyone else. Nothing else matters at that point. You're not thinking about politics or how much money you made…It changed my life, and I think it can change so many others.” Follow Tom: Twitter, Instagram Follow Stride for Stride: Twitter, Instagram Follow Social Sport: Website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Newsletter --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/socialsport/support

Just how do we balance the growing demand for electricity worldwide with the need to reduce fossil fuel emissions to address climate change? In our second programme on the Earthshot prize Chhavi Sachdev looks at some of the solutions. From projects looking at providing green hydrogen to industry worldwide and remote communities, to village scale solar electricity networks in Bangladesh and a portable pay as you go powerpack in Nigeria. Also how to provide a livelihood for people who live in areas where conservation concerns mean they are no longer able to follow their traditional hunting practices . And we feature solutions for dealing with our wastes in their many forms from cleaning up polluted water to recycling human and agricultural organic waste – including an innovative city based system for collecting and redistributing food that would otherwise be destroyed. The Earthshot Prize is an initiative from the Royal Foundation designed to highlight and reward inspiring solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges. There are 5 categories with a million pound prize available in each. Protect and restore nature. Clean our air. Revive our oceans. Build a waste-free world. Fix our climate.

There are thought to be over 10,000 gas flares around the world that contribute to global warming by emitting tonnes of carbon dioxide and methane. Flared gas is a by-product of oil extraction and is frequently used as a method of eliminating unwanted gasses in countries such as Albania, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, Russia and Nigeria. Yet, year after year deadlines set to stop the practice are missed. The oil industry says better infrastructure is needed to stop flaring and some of the world's largest producers of oil have committed to ending flaring by 2030. What will it take for that to happen? Presenters Neal Razzell and Kate Lamble are joined by: Bjørn Otto Sverdrup, chair, Oil and Gas Climate Initiative Mark Davis, CEO of Capterio.

"Alonzo" Wind is a retired Senior Foreign Service Officer from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), having worked on and off with the Agency primarily overseas on diplomatic assignments from 1990 to 1992 and 1999 to 2019 in the Peru, Nicaragua, Angola, Nigeria, Iraq, Afghanistan and South Africa and the Southern Africa USAID Regional Missions. He provided oversight to U.S. government foreign aid development and humanitarian assistance, and supported U.S. Ambassadors as their senior development officer on multiple U.S. Embassy Country Teams.
