From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.

In 1967, Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka tried to stop the country's Biafra war, in which Nigeria's Igbo people responded to violence by seceding from the rest of the country. They proclaimed a new Republic of Biafra.When the fighting began, Soyinka was building a reputation as a poet and playwright abroad. However, in a last-ditch attempt to avert civil war, he set off on a secret mission behind the front line to meet the Biafran leader, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. When he left Biafra, he was imprisoned by the federal government without trial for more than two years.Soyinka drew on his prison experience in his writing over the following years, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 - the first African to win the award. He looks back on those events with Ben Henderson. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

While this spat between Lago and Washington appears to be about Boko Haram and their religious conflict, to only see this viewpoint is to accept the word of a liar, even a presidential one, at his word.In this episode Ademola talks about many of the issues that plague Nigerian politics and he is very clear on why he thinks the problems in Nigeria go much deeper than Boko Haram and are more problematic for Nigerians than for Trump.Thank you Ademola for you time and your insight.PeaceCover art is a screenshot taken from the project entitled: The Emerging Alkebulan.

Designer Liz Ogbu grew up in Oakland as the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, but it wasn't until her first trip to Nigeria at 16 that she grasped the profound role place, family, and cultural context play in shaping who we are—and what we create. Drawn to the creative possibilities of architecture, she studied both architecture and engineering before traveling across Africa on a Watson Fellowship, an experience that sharpened her understanding of who her work is ultimately for: the people most impacted by design.Today, Liz is catalyzing what design can do—in transforming informal marketplaces, helping communities heal after being fractured by freeways, and weaving practices of grief, accountability, and repair into the built environment. Her work transcends traditional architecture, centering the excavation of harm and the pursuit of more empathetic, community-rooted design at a moment when it's needed more than ever.

From romantic delusion to 40-year reality: Why intelligent people don't stay married long - and the brutal truth about evolution, control, and the six different women you'll marry in one monogamous relationship. In this unfiltered episode of Konnected Minds, Dr. Charles Apoki - married 40 years to one woman - dismantles the fairy tale keeping young African couples trapped in divorce cycles they never saw coming. This isn't relationship advice from Instagram therapists - it's a systematic breakdown from a Nigerian marriage veteran who reveals why 55% of divorces are initiated by women, why you must be strategically stupid to stay married, and why the submissive woman you married will evolve into six different personalities that will test every ounce of wisdom you possess. The episode exposes a devastating truth most men discover too late: you approached her for curves, color, and the "Nigerianized Yash" - but buttocks and breasts have expiration dates while brains wear with inspiration. You married her when your mental capacity, education, finances, and experience were higher than hers. But as time progresses, she sinks roots into the ground, becomes financially independent, and the biblical "your desire shall be for your husband" reveals its true translation: your desire shall be to control your husband. That's why God said "and he shall rule over you" - because authority was always part of the equation, not just romantic desire. Dr. Apoki reveals why he had to leave all the businesses they started together for his wife - because every day brought three things that could cause divorce if he remained logical instead of strategically stupid. Critical revelations include: • Why logical, intelligent people don't remain married long - you must be stupid for the duration to survive • The evolution principle: your wife will become six different women over the course of marriage • How "your desire shall be for your husband" actually means your desire shall be to control your husband • Why men go for curves and color instead of character, capacity, competence, and chemistry - the oxytocin blindness • The expiration date reality: buttocks and breasts expire, but brains wear with inspiration • Why women who cry after doing something wrong require YOU to apologize to them for crying • How financial independence changes the power dynamic - her income increases, control desires increase • The gap that kills marriages: differences in values, tests, aspirations, and how business should be run • Why at 14+ years, gray hair and gravity lines make her hate herself even when you haven't changed • The compliment crisis: she used to see herself reflected in car windows because the first thing she received at creation was praise • Why aging men dress better, drive better cars, and get "looking take away" compliments while wives get nothing • The workplace/gym danger: when other men give her attention and compliments you're too busy to provide • Why women fall into sexual escapades not from love but from the subconscious need for validation • The reputation principle: men with public platforms have more to lose than wives who aren't doing podcasts The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys romantic idealism: you brought her assets AND liabilities. When she offends you, when she does something wrong, you don't wait for her to apologize - because women might never apologize. You apologize for her crying about her own offense. This isn't weakness - it's the strategic stupidity required to preserve what you built together while she's tracking kilometers in the house, managing children, becoming six different versions of herself, and battling the internal war of aging while you're flying to executive lounges and receiving celebrity treatment. For the African man seeking to build a lasting marriage instead of becoming another divorce statistic, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: marry for character, capacity, competence, and chemistry - not just curves and color. Understand that she will evolve, that control desires will emerge, that financial independence changes dynamics, and that the compliments she needs don't stop just because you're busy building empire. The question isn't whether you'll face these realities - the question is whether you'll be intelligent enough to become strategically stupid, or logical enough to end up divorced like everyone else who thought love alone was sufficient to survive 40 years of evolution, friction, and the six different women hiding inside the one you married.

Cancer, the silent killer, continues to cast a long shadow over Nigeria, claiming thousands of lives every year. Despite the growing noise about awareness and prevention, many Nigerians are still diagnosed late, when treatment becomes a daunting challenge. As we mark Cancer Awareness Month, experts are sounding the alarm: knowledge is power, early detection is key, and access to care is a lifeline. But what does this mean for Nigerians? How can we bridge the gap in cancer care? Today, on Nigeria Daily, we're tackling these tough questions and more. Join us as we explore the state of cancer awareness, treatment, and care in Nigeria. It's a conversation that could save lives."

In 2015, West African countries fought against the jihadist militant group Boko Haram which controlled large areas of northeastern Nigeria.

Explore why Nigerian artistes such as Davido, Rema, Falz, and IllBliss are using social media to highlight insecurity across the country. This episode breaks down kidnappings, ransom trends, and the critical role of celebrity voices in shaping national awareness.We examine why artistes are speaking out about insecurity and how their online reactions reflect the growing crisis in Nigeria. While not a deep dive, the discussion provides an accurate, surface-level understanding of verified incidents including kidnappings, bandit attacks, and rising ransom demands. Analysts now describe these trends as the economy of insecurity.The episode shows how artistes leverage their social platforms to raise awareness. They are not profiting from these crises but amplifying updates, responding to attacks, and drawing attention to the kidnap-for-ransom epidemic. Documented posts and public statements from Davido, Rema, Falz, IllBliss, and others illustrate this pattern.Listeners gain insight into how repeated attacks across multiple states, increasing ransom payments, and widespread fear have created a criminal ecosystem that functions like an economy. The conversation also explains why artistes feel compelled to speak publicly and how their online responses influence national awareness.For a deeper, data-driven analysis, read the full Substack article Nigeria's Kidnap for Ransom Industry: The Economy of Insecurity here:

Send us a textRHOP-When Cookie Crumbles, Drama SpillsRHOP S10 E8 – Pride and Pettiness | Podcast SummaryThe episode picks up right in the chaos: Kiarna tells Monique that Stacey has been dating Chris Samuels. Monique brushes it off—two years divorced, no hard feelings—as long as the co-parenting stays solid.Then Ashley questions Stacey's cannabis line having a Nigerian name, and when Stacy mispronounces it, Wendy and Tia call her out. Giselle, of course, finds this hilarious.The group heads to the GNA Pride float, where Wendy shades the branding and Giselle pretends she knew what GNA even was.After the parade, Giselle is surprisingly warm to Monique, saying she liked her energy. Monique opens up about why her marriage ended: feeling unloved, overshadowed, and ultimately having a breaking-point moment that made her walk away for good.Meanwhile, Angel and Bobby go house-hunting, but the bright green kitchen cabinets are a no. Angel vents that she didn't appreciate being called “catfish,” and thinks Wendy piled on Giselle's shade.At lunch, Giselle celebrates 10 million downloads for Reasonably Shady and an NAACP nomination.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri Rosenberg, owners of New York Bagel Deli and Bakery - aka NYBD and Bakery. The husband-and-wife team also own Bea's Bakery in the Valley, as well as star in "It's a Sweet World" on JLTV and have a cookbook by the same name.     NYBD and Bakery combines Lenny's Jewish, baking and restaurant roots with Adaeze's Nigerian culture and design (interior, exterior, presentation) expertise.   "It's a really classic bakery that's based with Jewish products, but also is multicultural," Lenny explains. "We wanted to merge cultures; that's what we're all about."    He adds, "We realized, going through all the bakery products that I've made over the years, they're all multicultural: rainbow cookies are Italian, Danish are from the Danish … almost every single recipe is from another culture."   These foods all have a story behind them, along with cultural significance. For instance, the kola nut in their red velvet cupcakes are from Adaeze's Nigerian background, and it is as significant in their rituals as breaking bread (challah) is in the Jewish culture.   Whether you are embracing different cultures or getting ready to bake, it's important to be open-minded, curious and always willing to learn.    "Our brand is It's a Sweet World," Adaeze says. "Always think positive … live, laugh and eat."    Lenny and Adaeze Rosenberg share the NYBD and Bakery backstory, as well as some of their favorite multi-cultural treats and tips for baking success. They also share their recipe for Italian rainbow cookies, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Learn more at ItsASweetWorld.com and JLTV.com, get It's A Sweet World at your favorite book store and follow @Its_a_sweetworld and @nybdbakery on social media.   For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Pastor Marcus Rogers opens up like never before. At 12 years old, he stood on a bridge ready to end his life — until he heard God speak the words: “Don't do it, son.” That moment marked him forever.God spared him multiple times — through war, street violence, heartbreak, betrayal, and spiritual warfare. This is the raw testimony behind the boldness millions see online. Marcus shares how God broke him into a million pieces, rebuilt his purpose, and called him into ministry with fire, clarity, and compassion.“I had to break you into a million pieces to feed you to a million people.”We also dive into major conversations in Christianity today: Maverick City, Diddy, Charlie Kirk, Philip Anthony Mitchell, the American church, spiritual deception, Nigerian persecution, Trump, college indoctrination, and holiness.If you've ever wondered what Marcus really thinks, what he's seen behind the scenes, or why he speaks the way he does — press play.Bold.

303 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were kidnapped by gunmen from St. Mary's School, a Catholic institution in a very remote part of the north west of Nigeria, over the weekend.The school is managed by the Sisters of Our Lady of Apostles, and Seán is joined by their Congressional Leader, Donegal native Sister Mary Barron, to discuss…

The Roman Catholic Church in Nigeria says 265 people are still missing after a mass kidnapping from a school in Niger state on Friday. Among those unaccounted for are dozens of nursery and primary school children and 12 members of staff. The Nigerian president, Bola Tinubu, ordered the recruitment of an extra thirty thousand police officers in the latest attempt by the federal authorities to bring an end to the chronic insecurity in the north of the country. Also: American-led hopes of a breakthrough in the Ukraine peace talks have been tempered by European leaders who have stressed that Russia must come to the table.

Mike Vuolo and Bob Garfield of Lexicon Valley join to talk 23 skidoo, Massapequa, and why life, in fact, is a flat bagel. They trace the 6/7 meme from Skrilla's drill track "Doot Doot" through LaMelo Ball highlights and a middle-schooler named Maverick, and explain how a throwaway number became the meme stock of language. The conversation winds through rival "word of the year" contenders, then lands on the legal and French graveyard roots of "gist" and its Nigerian evolution into a verb meaning "to gossip." Plus, a Spiel on Trump's death-penalty bluster, Democratic senators telling troops "don't give up the ship," and why wild-man escalation keeps letting Trump win the exchange.

It's Monday, November 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists abducted 300 Catholic students and staff Muslim terrorists abducted 315 Catholic students and staff from St. Mary's School in the northern region of Nigeria on Friday, reports International Christian Concern.  Those kidnapped include 303 students and 12 teachers. It's one of the worst kidnappings in the nation's history, which has tragically become a flashpoint for persecution against Catholics and Protestants. No doubt many of them are echoing the prayer of Psalm 141:1-2 where David wrote, “I call to You, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like incense.” Back in 2014, Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, seized 276 Chibok schoolgirls. In addition, the Islamic State West Africa Province and Fulani Muslim herdsmen have also wreaked havoc on the West African country. The Trump administration, which designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, has recently pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Catholics and Protestants. During the past 20 years, Nigerian Muslims have killed 50,000 Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands more. Shawn Wright, the new president of International Christian Concern, issued an urgent call to action. To the government of Nigeria, he called officials to: Deploy specialized rescue forces immediately and recover the abducted Christians without delay. Strengthen protection for Christian institutions. Address underlying persecution. And to the United States government, Shawn Wright called officials to: Immediately enact tougher economic sanctions against Nigeria. leverage assistance to Nigeria based on results. Support civil society and Christian groups in Nigeria. Use diplomatic influence there. Wright said, “When children are hauled from their dormitories, when …  teachers are terrorized, when entire communities live in the shadow of fear — silence is complicity.” Former Brazilian President arrested ahead of vigil to prevent escape Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, hours before a vigil was to be held outside his residence, reports One America News. On Saturday, the former president's period of house arrest ended after having been confined since August for violating a ban on the use of social media. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, posted a video on Friday calling for a vigil in front of his father's condominium where Javier was under house arrest. Flavio said, “I invite you to fight with us.” Brazil's Supreme Court ruled that the planned vigil could “cause serious harm to public order,” and potentially prevent Bolsonaro from being arrested or enable his “escape.” Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that Bolsonaro violated his ankle monitor early Saturday morning. President Donald Trump, a long-term ally of Bolsonaro, denounced the charges against the former Brazilian leader as politically motivated, calling it a “witch hunt.” He imposed a 50% tariff on United States imports of Brazilian goods in response, which Trump began to roll back this month following a meeting with current President Luiz da Silva. Canadian pork producer objects to unlabeled lab-grown meat One of Canada's largest organic pork producers says the public deserves clear labelling, and a real choice before cloned meat hits supermarket shelves, reports Rebel News. Normally, experimental items like this fall under Canada's novel foods category, requiring a thorough pre-market safety assessment. This framework mandates that developers provide detailed data on production, contaminants, allergens, toxins, and nutrition. Health Canada reviews typically take about 410 days. However, Health Canada quietly released a statement on November 13th concluding, based on "all available information" and "scientific opinion," that foods from lab-grown clones of healthy cattle and swine are as safe as those from traditionally bred animals. This lab-grown meat has rightly been dubbed “franken-beef” like Frankenstein, the grotesque humanoid character, created in the imagination of Mary Shelley in 1818, who was put together using different body parts from fresh graves and vaults of skeletal remains. Health Canada has innocuously labeled the lab-grown meat as “cellular agriculture.” Proverbs 12:22 says, “The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Tamara Ugolini of Rebel News offered this warning to Canadians. UGOLINI: “Health Canada has decided there's no meaningful difference between lab-grown, cloned meat and real life grown meat. So, no labels, no warnings, and, once again, no transparency from the agency allegedly dedicated to regulatory openness and transparency.” Vincent Breton, a legitimate live pork producer, said, “Consumers should have the right to decide for themselves whether they are going to buy genetically modified foods.” Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after clash with Trump Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Make America Great Again firebrand who rose to prominence as a combative supporter of President Donald Trump, announced late Friday she is resigning from Congress after a public feud with him, reports Politico.com. Greene, who was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district, made the surprise announcement in an 11-minute video address. She cited her willingness to oppose the Democratic agenda which was costly on a personal level. GREENE: “I have fought against Democrats' damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly, unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women. With that has brought years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a single day.” She also noted the handful of differences she had with President Trump. GREENE: “I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, like my stance against H-1B replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life-50-year-mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the president. “Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interests because our job title is literally Representative.'” Congresswoman Greene highlighted her disagreement with President Trump over the Epstein files. GREENE: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.” She did not want to go through a bruising Republican primary in the spring. GREENE: “I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, and, in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.” That's what led to her surprise resignation announcement. GREENE: “I'll be resigning from office, with my last day being January, 5, 2026.” Stray mutt gets award for comforting families after school shooting And finally, a stray mutt that turned into a service dog, soothing kids after a school shooting, has just been crowned the 2025 Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Society, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Sgt. Bo, the mixed breed from Nashville, Tennessee, may have started as a stray, but after being rescued off the streets of Florida in 2022, and trained for 12 weeks by prisoners in Brevard County, the four-year-old mutt became a certified therapy dog with the Nashville Police Department. Just three months into his service with Officer Faye Okert, tragedy struck when a transgender killed three students and three teachers at the city's Covenant School. Sgt. Bo was called to help comfort children and families at the reunification site—climbing onto buses, letting shaken students rest against him, and staying until the last family left. Since then, he has continued visiting schools across the community, helping kids open up, easing anxiety, and reminding everyone that healing can come from the most unexpected places.
