Tate Modern continues to explore the histories of Modern art beyond the European and North American canons that were once its focus. This week it opened the exhibition Nigerian Modernism, and The Art Newspaper's digital editor, Alexander Morrison, speaks to the show's co-curator, Osei Bonsu, and to one of the 50 artists in the exhibition, Jimoh Buraimoh. Before the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June of this year, the art scene in the Iranian capital, Tehran, was thriving. Sarvy Geranpayeh, one of our correspondents for the Middle East, travelled to Tehran for The Art Newspaper and tells Ben Luke how the art world has responded in the aftermath of the conflict. And this episode's Work of the Week is Cakes (1963) by Wayne Thiebaud, a painting in the National Gallery of Art in Washington that has travelled to the Courtauld Gallery in London for Wayne Thiebaud: American Still Life, the first UK museum exhibition of his art.

It's Tuesday, October 7, 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 Kevin Swanson Nigerian military opened fire on Christians Christian persecution at the hands of Muslim terrorists in Nigeria was tough enough. Now, Truth Nigeria reports that the Nigerian military has opened fire on Christians in the Benue State — this time killing three young men. Ten others sustained life-threatening gunshot wounds and are receiving medical treatment in Jato-Aka. The local chief said, “We no longer need the military in our land. … They have joined Fulani to kill us and take over our land. They have turned their guns against us. … The betrayal is unbearable. Enough is enough. President Tinubu and Governor Alia should hear this message and take immediate action.” Newsweek urges State Dept to declare Nigeria “Country of Particular Concern” Newsweek.com has joined the voices of comedian Bill Maher and others, pointing to the egregious level of Christian killings in Nigeria. The Nigerian government has “categorically” denied that terrorists are waging a systematic genocide against Christians in the country. Newsweek noted that the Trump State Department has thus far failed at making Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern.” Europe's swirling politics France just lost its third prime minister in about a year. Sébastien Lecornu was the latest, and he just resigned yesterday after only 27 days in office. This marks the most instability for the French government in 70 years. France's nationalist, anti-immigration party increased from obtaining 4% of parliamentarian seats in 2008 to 37% in 2024. Germany lost its government earlier this year. Germany's anti-immigration party is supported by 24% of the country, up from virtually nothing ten years ago. And Portugal faces instability, still run by a minority government, having completed its third election in three years in May. Portugal's nationalist party increased from half percent in 2019 to 23% in the 2025 elections. Also, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and Italy have experienced wide swings in governance — shifting to a nationalist position over the last 5-10 years. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that it is God who “changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” Cuba sends 5,000 troops to aid Ukraine despite grinding poverty Reuters reports that Cuba is supporting the Ukrainian War now with up to 5,000 troops. The communist country's economy is lagging badly — suffering a four-year decline in its Gross Domestic Product, with another decline forecasted for this year, reports InDepthNews.com. Inflation is running at 28%. The nation has suffered at least five energy blackouts this year so far. And 89% of the populace suffers from “extreme poverty” according to a recent survey. Seven out of ten Cubans have stopped eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to lack of money or food shortages. Only 15% have been able to eat three meals a day without interruption. That compares with the next poorest countries in Central America. Just 16% of Guatemalans and 27% of folks in Honduras have to deal with these levels of extreme poverty. Supremes consider Trump's tariffs, Hawaii's gun restrictions, & trans sports As the US Supreme Court reconvenes, the docket holds a slew of cases. They include the legitimacy of the Trump Tariffs, the president's removal of high level administrative bureaucrats, Colorado's ban on counselors helping minors out of homosexual sin, Hawaii's gun restrictions, and bans issued by red states on boys pretending to be girls playing in girls' sports in public schools. Trump's FDA approve a new Abortion Kill Pill The Trump Administration's Food and Drug Administration approved another abortion kill pill to accommodate the killing of children in their mother's wombs. Last week, the FDA approved Evita Solutions' generic abortion drug for the US market. This is hardly in line with the administration's pledge to “review all the evidence—including real-world outcomes—on the safety of the drug” issued just last month. Ostensibly, the big concern is the health of the mother. The FDA reports 36 deaths attributed to the abortion kill pill thus far, but 7.5 million murdered babies. 63% of the annual abortions committed in the country today are attributed to the abortion kill pill. Isaiah 29:15-16 speaks to this. The prophet wrote, “Woe to you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? Mt. Everest hiker died, 200 others stranded in shock blizzard And finally, one hiker has died and 200 others are still stranded in a shock blizzard on Mount Everest over the weekend. The blizzard took about 1,000 hikers by surprise. Thus far this year, five people have died on Everest. Last year's total was eight, and 18 others died on the treacherous slopes in 2023. About 800 people attempt to summit the tallest mountain in the world each year. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, October 7th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world. Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.” Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks. Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.” Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S. Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?” Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.” China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles. UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security. Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power. Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets. Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain

According to the World Bank, more than 80 million people in Nigeria still lack access to electricity, making it the country with the largest energy access deficit in the world. But even among those connected to the grid, many struggle daily to keep the power going. Blackouts are frequent, infrastructure is fragile, and generators have become a lifeline for homes and businesses alike. Journalist and presenter Samuel Okocha hears from Nigerians about how unreliable electricity affects their lives. He speaks to economists, politicians, and renewable energy experts to understand the roots of the crisis, and how decentralisation and power theft are complicating efforts to fix it. In Abuja, Samuel visits his local dry cleaner and barber to see how they are coping with constant outages. Samuel also finds resilience. Across Nigeria, people are turning to solar energy and small-scale solutions, building their own systems to meet their needs.

On this episode of JOI Podcast, the boys return with another round of unapologetic and unfiltered conversation.We kicked things off with a bold discussion on the declining state of Afrobeats, questioning whether the genre is losing its originality and where it's heading in the global music landscape. From there, we shifted into social commentary with a heated breakdown on equality in marriage—what it means today, how culture shapes expectations, and whether balance is truly possible in relationships.The debate didn't stop there. We dove into the controversial idea that Nigerian men are Africa's biggest export, unpacking the reputation, the stereotypes, and why Nigerian men continue to dominate conversations across the continent. And of course, we couldn't ignore the trending complaints from Nigerian women, who argue that women from other African countries are “taking their men.”It's fiery, it's funny, and it's full of perspective—classic JOI energy at its finest. Tap in and enjoy!

Send us a textThe search for heroes and authentic leadership resonates deeply within societies facing critical challenges. When a nation feels lost, individuals who embody courage, simplicity, and unwavering belief in possibility become powerful symbols of what could be.Drawing from spiritual wisdom, we explore how governance rests "upon shoulders" - a profound metaphor suggesting leadership is both a spiritual and physical burden. This concept frames our discussion of Nigeria's current state and the figure of Peter Obi, whose straightforward approach and authentic commitment to national renewal has captured the imagination of many Nigerians, particularly the younger generation.What makes Obi significant isn't perfection, but rather his embodiment of standards that create a new reference point for leadership. His simple dress, direct communication, and willingness to engage in everyday situations (like mediating a roadside dispute between drivers) demonstrate leadership qualities that transcend political positioning. The podcast challenges listeners to consider: if more citizens embodied these qualities, could the nation transform?National renewal never happens from a comfortable distance. Using the metaphor of Christ entering death's domain to defeat it, we examine how transforming a nation requires "close proximity fights" with difficult realities. Those fighting for truth must prepare to be scarred in the process, yet these battles - when fought with integrity - create pathways toward collective redemption.The most powerful moment comes in a direct challenge: "I dare you, as a Nigerian, behave like Peter Obi and see if Nigeria will not change." This shifts responsibility from waiting for saviors to becoming part of the solution. True transformation happens when citizens embody the values they seek in their leaders, creating ripple effects that eventually reshape the nation's character and direction.Join our community by subscribing to our channels and following us on social media @AmacriIsoboye.

It's Tuesday, September 30th, 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 Kevin Swanson India's new anti-conversion law leads to 9 harassment cases against Christians India's Northwestern state of Rajasthan issued their Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill in the state assembly on September 9th. And now, International Christian Concern reports at least nine documented incidents of harassment and assault on Christians over the last three weeks. Atheist Bill Maher objects to Nigerian genocide against Christians Bill Maher, the well-known comedian and secular humanist commentator, took to his HBO show last Friday to complain about the lack of coverage about Christian persecution in Nigeria. MAHER: “If you don't know what's going on in Nigeria, you are in a bubble. And again, I'm not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They've killed over 100,000 since 2009 they've burned 18,000 churches. These are Islamists, Boko Haram. “This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?” (applause) GUEST: “No one will talk about it. So, thank you.” MAHER: “Absolutely!” Chinese Communists sentence Christian attorney 4 years in prison And, in China, the Communists sentenced a Christian attorney and defender of human rights to four years in prison for the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” and “seriously damaging her country's image.” Zhang Zhan has already served four years for the crime of reporting from Wuhan on the COVID-19 pandemic back in February of 2020. Mormon president allowed sexually perverse to remain in good standing The President of the Mormon faith, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, went to meet his Maker, over the weekend. Russell Nelson was 101 years old. Under his watch, the Mormons changed their policies on homosexuality, allowing those living in sexually-perverted relationships and faux-marriages to remain members in good standing. The group also allowed for the Melchizedek blessing to be placed upon children adopted by homosexuals living together. Dr. Nelson is also credited with ridding them of the “Mormon” moniker, while building the internet URL: “churchofjesuschrist.org". Membership in Mormonism expanded from 4.5 million to 17.5 million members since Dr. Nelson joined the top-tier leadership in 1984. That's a 3-fold increase in 40 years. That's about the same growth rate as the Jehovah Witnesses, with the JW's about half the size of the Mormons. In the words of Jesus: “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.” (Matthew 7:19) Ken Ham and Al Mohler honor Voddie Baucham's legacy Ken Ham, from Answers in Genesis, took to social media to say, he was “greatly saddened to hear the news that pastor and theologian Voddie Baucham had gone to be with the Lord.” Ken called Voddie “a powerful voice for truth. a pioneer in challenging men to stand for Christ in leading their families. … No other voice had the impact his did to encourage the current generation to home educate their children—that they would know Christ and make him known. “Voddie called men to lead in family worship daily in their homes. He was a pioneer in bringing young people back into the churches to sit together as a family and witness their dads worship the Lord.” Al Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, also offered a tribute to Voddie Baucham on The Briefing. Listen. MOHLER: “Voddie Baucham died having done what the Lord called him to do. We're thankful for the power of his ministry and the clarity of his convictions. And it is a reminder to us that we must work, as Jesus said to His disciples, while it is day. Night is coming when no man can work. We'll pray for Voddie Baucham's widow and the entire family.” Plus, Masters Seminary shared a memorial on Facebook stating that “Voddie was a courageous shepherd, a bold defender of the true Gospel, and a beloved friend.” Lord: “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” And, just to remind us all, that this was the year that Phil Robertson, Pastor John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk died. Let us remember Moses's words in Psalm 90:12 -- “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Artificial Intelligence the one bright spot in the economy In economic news today, the second quarter Gross Domestic Product in the United States registered a 3.8% improvement. But that improvement, thus far this year, is attributed to Artificial Intelligence investment and tariffs. All other parts of the economy were down including personal consumption, business investment, housing, government and inventories. While the NASDAQ Index is up 5.7% for the month of September, investors are moving to gold and silver as a safe haven now. Gold is up 10%, silver is up 15%, and Bitcoin is up 2%. Majority of top movies are R-rated Six out of the top seven movies this weekend are R-rated movies — mostly in the horror genre. And five out of six of last weekend's top box office favorites were also R-rated movies. R-rated movies netted four times the G-rated movie totals in 2007. This year, that ratio has increased to 100 times the G-rated movie totals. Neanderthals were fully human And finally, evolutionists are surprised to have found relations between the Neanderthals and the Chinese ancient human group called the Denisovans. A recent report cites interbreeding, according to the genome sequence. Although at one time considered a link in human evolution, now scientists realize that the Neanderthals were fully human. For example, according to the Institute for Creation Research, they “made tools to make other complex tools, buried their dead, had controlled use of fire, practiced religious ceremonies, used complex syntax in their spoken grammar, and played musical instruments.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Join us as we ask the tough questions: Can tenants afford to pay up, or is it time for change?"
Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Sep 29, 2025 There is a profound heritage in the faith that many believers remain unaware of, and this ignorance creates a fundamental exposure problem in contemporary Christianity. The Nigerian church, for instance, once carried tremendous spiritual power through pioneers like P.A. Elton, who in the 1960s-80s laid out detailed blueprints, protocols, and structures for the nation's spiritual destiny. His vision included specific feast days, prayer watches, and kingdom-focused ministry that stood in stark contrast to the prosperity gospel that later infiltrated and weakened the church's foundation. When genuine seekers touch the burden of God for their nation today, they often find themselves unknowingly fulfilling the same prophetic patterns these spiritual fathers established, because they're touching the same heart of God. Understanding spiritual ancestry is crucial on two levels. First, recognize that generational curses are real—someone who experiments with substances may unknowingly activate an inherited addiction that a great-uncle struggled with, or touching immorality may awaken dormant generational bondage. Just because sin hasn't manifested yet doesn't mean the seed isn't present, waiting for the right conditions. But second, and more importantly, there is also godly spiritual ancestry. When certain spiritually-charged resources encounter someone with "ancestry" in that spiritual bloodline—books like "Good Morning Holy Spirit," "Adventures with God" by John G. Lake, materials from the God's Generals era—something awakens. Deep calls to deep. A hunger ignites that had been dormant. The harsh reality is that many of today's spiritual giants who cried out for revival—like Leonard Ravenhill or P.A. Elton—never saw their visions fully realized in their lifetimes. Their disciples became the ones God used for movements like Brownsville and other revivals. This should humble current believers while also revealing how desperately the investment is needed. The issue isn't a lack of hunger in most Christians; it's a lack of sophistication, protocol, and exposure to what true worship and sacrifice look like. Many believers are spiritually illiterate, primitive in their approach to God—not because they don't care, but because they've never been exposed to the heritage, the standards, the depth that previous generations walked in. The core truth that must grip every believer is this: genuine love for souls comes only from genuine love for Jesus. The greatest need isn't better evangelism techniques or more passionate preaching about Him—it's being possessed by Him. The gospel without the unction of His presence falls to the ground powerless. Christianity isn't waiting for a new definition but for a new demonstration. Before anyone can hear the command to "go," they must first hear and continually respond to the invitation to "come"—to come to Jesus, to spend time with Him, to be head over heels in love not with the idea of Jesus, but with the living, vibrant experience of Him daily. Ministry done without this foundation becomes humanitarian work at best, and the protection against burnout and distraction is simple dependency on Him renewed each day. The watchmen's conference that was recently held carries months of encounters in its sessions. The old-timers who showed up—disciples of these spiritual fathers—carry keys that this generation desperately needs. Study the God's Generals. Listen to the materials on revival history. Let the standard they held challenge the compromised metrics of modern ministry. And understand that your lack of hunger may simply mean you haven't yet collided with your spiritual ancestry—those specific resources and revelations that will awaken what God has already placed in your bloodline in Christ.

More than 330 Nigerian websites were seized in one sweep by Microsoft and US authorities in recent days, run by a shadowy network of cybercriminals linked exploiting the digital space to scam, steal, and sabotage. Is Nigeria doing enough to combat this cybercrime menace that is tied to its citizens — or are we stuck in a cycle where global crackdowns expose the weaknesses we refuse to fix at home?

Buckle up, Undressed-anistas, because this episode is a full runway of drama, laughs, fashion tea, and mystical revelations! Pol' and Patrik are back inside their Beverly Hills boutique with the fabulous Gogo Lomo-David (Righteous Gemstones, Shameless), and things get spicy fast. We kick off with Hot Topics — and no one is safe. From the shocking story of Lil Nas X allegedly arrested in Hollywood to the headline-grabbing relationship twists of JoJo Siwa, our hosts dive headfirst into fame's darker side. Gogo opens up about resisting Hollywood's vices, sharing how his Nigerian father and grounded upbringing keep him focused. The trio get candid about the dangers of “yes-men” in showbiz, the heartbreak of watching Anna Nicole Smithspiral after tragedy, and why goals and community are the ultimate antidote to self-destruction. But it doesn't stop there — the infamous Menendez Brothers parole denial sparks a raw debate on justice, forgiveness, and responsibility. From true crime to pop culture, the conversation swerves to Taylor Swift's jaw-dropping 12th album, “Life of a Showgirl”. Gogo calls it: another era-defining set of hits from the global superstar who built an empire on heartbreak and reinvention. Then comes Runway Rundown, where fashion meets fire. Pol' and Patrik pull up red carpet looks for Gogo to critique — and he doesn't hold back. From Luke Combs' ill-fitting Tweedledee vibes to Sydney Sweeney's dreamy ivory bustier dress (with a questionable headband), Danny McBride's off-shade suit, and Walton Goggins' risk-taking silk chemise moment, every celebrity look gets dissected. And when Chrissy Teigen struts in a daring mesh bustier gown with feathered mermaid skirt, it's Catwoman chic meets couture controversy. Even Gogo's own velvet tuxedo Emmy look and his playful pink jacket ensemble are up for critique — bow ties, microfiber jackets, and all. Next, it's game time with “Holy or Humbug” — a laugh-out-loud quiz where Gogo must guess whether outrageous televangelist scandals happened in real life or on Righteous Gemstones. Did Baby Billy abandon his kid at a gas station? Did a Texas church offer drive-through confessions during COVID? Did Joel Osteen really lock church doors during a hurricane? Holy or Humbug? You'll be screaming along as Gogo battles tricky wordplay and reveals behind-the-scenes tea. Finally, we land in the mystical with Pol's signature Armenian coffee reading — and it's pure destiny. In Gogo's cup, Pol' sees a butterfly, symbolizing transformation and fleeting beauty, and delivers a powerful message: a major relationship shift is on the horizon. This isn't casual—it's commitment-or-nothing, a love story written in the grounds. Vulnerability, healing, and fate collide as Gogo reflects on love, fear, and opening his heart again. By the end, he admits he feels “beautifully naked — emotionally, mentally, and physically.” From fashion critiques sharper than tweezers, to celebrity confessions, to mystical readings that could change the course of love, this episode has it ALL. Whether you're here for Taylor Swift, Anna Nicole Smith, Lil Nas X, Sydney Sweeney, Chrissy Teigen, or just Gogo's infectious energy, you'll walk away laughing, gasping, and maybe even believing in coffee-ground destiny.
Lionel presents challenging hypotheticals designed to teach listeners "how to think". Lionel dives headfirst into sensitive questions about preference, race, and freedom of expression: Would you prefer white Australians or Nigerians move into your state, and does your answer make you a racist? Explore the definitions of "racist," "xenophobe," and "far right" terms like "groper".Lionel debates whether holding "reprehensible" ideas or hating groups based on ethnicity or class is acceptable under the First Amendment, provided no action is taken. Discussion also covers racial preferences in personal life, from dating and marriage to judging adoption scenarios (gay vs. straight, black vs. white families). Lionel asserts that everyone is a person of preferences, not necessarily because they are racist, but because they are human. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whether you have been scammed before and are trying to heighten your defenses or you are planning for how to respond to a future scam, this episode will be a great resource.
Adulthood has long been overlooked as a phase in human development. This is, in part, due to its implicit assumption of steadiness. Its shifting hues tend to be less dramatic than those of adolescence and elderhood, its moods less pronounced. Much of the time, we do the work of our lives, showing up for our common refrain while quietly learning to cultivate fulfillment on our own terms; our creative pursuits and revelatory practices often relegated to the margins of our daily lives.We are exceptionally connected, balancing our digital and analog lives. We are so busy. There is so much to do. Who has time? Adults say these things in exasperation, grasping for affirmation or companionship in the midst of their grievances. But it's true—to be in the human world today is to drink from a firehose of information. Plus, what depths are safe to plumb outside the sanctuary of a therapist's office or a park bench with a trusted friend? The stakes of vulnerability are high. So high, in fact, that Brené Brown describes judgment as “the currency of the midlife realm.” By midlife, we are expected to have brought to fruition the aspirations of our earlier selves—to have reached a plateau of practicality and resolve. Cruising altitude, as they say.Of course, we who inhabit or have inhabited the realm of adulthood know better. Inside the cornucopia of being human, spiraling inward from its bright surface, exist multitudes. Much like the tonal expressions of early autumn, the richer pigments of our psyche—previously concealed behind summer's green façade—gradually reveal their layers to those who pay attention: ripening, sweetening, scenting the air with integration and maturation.~Today, I am writing from the belly of a meditation retreat at Vallecitos, among the ancient, indiscreet ponderosas of Northern New Mexico. Belly is a phrase I favor mid-retreat because it refers to the tender middle, the bellows, the digestive center. For five days, however brief an expanse of unclaimed hours, I have sat with myself in a wooden casita outfitted with a kerosene heater, a writing desk, and a chipmunk who makes neighborly visits to the stoop.There is a shimmer to this mountain valley nestled deep in the Carson National Forest—a million-acre, many-voiced wilderness. Everything breathes here. Cold morning dew washes the meadows; afternoon shadows sweep the valley. Here, the pines thicken into themselves, aspens become jittery and luminous as they dry in the breeze, and just beneath my feet, lichen and mycelium weave their storied logic.Ramón y Cajal, a Spanish neuroscientist who pioneered studies of the central nervous system at the turn of the 20th century, referred to neurons as “butterflies of the soul”—tender, erratic, natural, and necessary.Most days, I am like most adults. I move through a slurry of data and directives, my nervous system siphoning thoughts, words, plans, and presences. Most days, my neurons do not feel like butterflies. But the land's knack is to shed and replenish, to dwell and allow and transform. A stone stays in place while the river glides over its surface, gradually polishing its form. I recall a beloved teacher once describing enlightenment simply as no more raw edges.There is a choreography to these days of sitting, walking, sweeping, sleeping; the routine is a slow, scaffolded unraveling. Contingent parts within me make themselves more visible to the naked eye: the part seeking a reprieve from boredom—hello, gorgeous organic berries at breakfast!—and the part that feels alive with fright on an unlit walk at night. The part that is slavish to comfort and sensitive to nonverbal exchanges in the lunch queue. The chronic clock-watcher who would count the hours until I see my family again…But also, there is a solitude I am befriending in my adult years—a creative and patient companion self. My nervous system grows almost amphibious here: reflective, tremulous, equilibrating like the surface of the alpine ponds of this valley. I imagine myself like the ancient city of Venice, which, during its pandemic-mandated reprieve from the normal throngs of tourists, welcomed dolphins back to its capillaried canals.I move through the forest, only to discover the strange phenomenon of the forest moving through me. The trees pass sideways; sunlight pitches down in mosaics, glancing off the backs of leaves. I rest on the round body of a pine, and the sound of critters, once a polite backdrop, sidles forward: bluebird, fox, nondescript scuttle from the bushes. The entire canopy hums—at me, through me—a polyphony the writer Amy Leach might call everybodyism, an ensemble of selfhoods.It is, if anything, a kind of organization I find myself settling into: organism, order—these words sharing root and logic. The fractal arrangements of life in the forest transmit glimpses of my body's own sophisticated animal intelligence. Each muscle adjusts moment by moment to the terrain, dynamic and improvisational. The mind may imagine it stands apart—thank you, Descartes, for teaching us to narrate ourselves from above—but the world refuses such neat separations. Artificial intelligence, with its disembodied schemes, cannot meet moss or kneel to converse with mushrooms as we can.In her evening talk, Erin Treat, guiding teacher at Vallecitos, serendipitously shares the opening line from The Famished Road, a 1991 novel by Nigerian author Ben Okri that won the Booker Prize: “In the beginning, there was a river. The river became a road, and the road branched out to the whole world. And because the road was once a river, it was always hungry.” I think of this teaching as I move between stone and stream, insights replenishing from nowhere I can name. Dusk gathers, cliff shadows lengthen, and a presence stirs the forest, calling wandering creatures home.Together, we are making sense of being human in an era of radical change.

We all know there are things in life you probably shouldn't trust, like gas station sushi or an email from a Nigerian prince. But the same principle applies in retirement planning. Sometimes what looks safe, easy, or even “guaranteed” isn't so trustworthy when you peel back the layers. In this episode, Nathan highlights the financial versions of gas station sushi, the too-good-to-be-true ideas that can leave your retirement in ruins. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Earlier this year, a new movie called “My Father's Shadow” made history when it became the first Nigerian film to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Set over the course of a single day in Lagos in 1993 (a day that happens to be one of the most catastrophic in Nigerian history), the film follows two young boys who join their father on a trip to the city so he can collect his paycheck. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on director Akinola Davies Jr.'s own family experiences. During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Akinola sat down with Tom Power to talk about memory, Nigeria's lesser known history, and the stuff you learn about your parents after they're gone.
33-year-old Goodnews is a food delivery rider by day and an aspiring writer by night. He works 12 hours a day weaving through Lagos traffic to deliver as many orders as he can to customers. Although he is an engineering graduate, Goodnews is part of the 85% of working Nigerians unable to find formal employment. By joining the country's growing gig economy, Goodnews now earns three times more than he has at any other job, but he says the work isn't all roses… ________Support the work of Radio Workshop by donating today.Sign up for Radio Workshop's newsletter on Substack, and connect with us on Instagram and LinkedIn.Show notes Sources: Rest of World - Running a food delivery service in Nigeria is hardBusinessDay Ng - Half of Nigerians earn less than 50,000 naira a monthBusiness and Human Rights Resource Centre NPR - Lagos, Nigeria's MegacityFairwork Nigeria RatingsAcknowledgements:Luminate.Thanks to Ngozi Chukwu of Tech Cabal and Bukola Adebayo of Context News for the reporting help.Special thanks to Rob Byers, and to Hindenburg for supporting our projects across Africa with audio editing software.
Suya Joint owner Cecelia Lizotte has served up Nigerian dishes at her Roxbury restaurant for 10 years. But early this summer her brother and operational manager, Paul Dama was detained by ICE. Typically, he helps run the restaurant, but his absence has upended Lizotte's business. It's an example of how Trump's immigration actions can take a toll on restaurants.
Tunde Balogun, the CEO of LVRN (Love Renaissance), sits down to share his story. He's the person behind some of your favorite artists like Summer Walker and 6LACK. Tunde talks about growing up in a very Nigerian household in Atlanta and what it was like being raised by a village. He shares his first hustles, from selling candy to throwing parties in his mom's basement. We get into how LVRN was created by a group of friends who just wanted to build something special together. He also discusses big ideas like "Global Blackness" and why it's so important to find your community. This is a real conversation about starting from the bottom and what it takes to win.
In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with transformational coach and Healed Hero founder, Adaku Mbagwu, to unpack the hidden burdens and emotional scars carried by eldest daughters. From growing up as the responsible child in a family of seven to reaching a breaking point of burnout and depression, Adaku shares her journey of survival, awakening, and leadership. This episode isn't about fixing what isn't broken—it's about healing what's been ignored. A must-listen for high-achieving women who are done living in over-functioning survival mode. About the Guest:Adaku Mbagwu is a Nigerian-born, Tulum-based transformational coach and founder of the Healed Hero Movement, a global community for firstborn daughters ready to break free from emotional labor and perfectionism. From living in her car after a suicide attempt to building a 7-figure business, Adaku now helps high-functioning women access emotional clarity and rewire subconscious patterns that keep them stuck in over-performance. Her mission: to help eldest daughters lead from wholeness, not from wounds. Key Takeaways: Over-functioning is often mistaken for strength but is deeply rooted in trauma and subconscious conditioning. High-achieving women may not realize they are stuck in survival mode—guilt, exhaustion, and over-responsibility are key red flags. Healing begins with naming emotions and learning to ask for support—vulnerability is not weakness, it's a gateway to receiving. Meditation, therapy, and inner child work helped Adaku transform pain into purpose and rewrite her identity from control to clarity. Leadership born from peace is more sustainable than leadership born from sacrifice.

We discuss what to do if you're a dark-hearted cheat, how to get over the idea of “the one that got away”, father-son dynamics in Nigerian society and how tumultuous parental relationships can be, which led us to their highly anticipated film, written to portray the father-son connection set against a 1993 military-ruled Nigeria.

The University library in Tartu, in Estonia, is a large brutalist complex, surrounded by concrete water fountains and futuristic steel sculptures. But inside this unassuming building lies a hidden treasure: rare books worth thousands. In April 2022, some of these books were stolen, including historic editions by Alexander Pushkin. According to Europol, the European law enforcement agency, this theft was part of a criminal operation that targeted national libraries in 12 countries, including the Baltic states, Poland, Finland, Germany and France. It's been described as Europe's largest book heist since War World Two. Who was behind it? My colleague Nina Nazarova from BBC Russian has been investigating this story. Plus, 7-year-old Nigerian online musical sensation Emmanuel plays keyboards and drums, and has been captivating audiences online, as BBC Pidgin's Adesola Ikulajolu reports. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. This is an EcoAudio certified production. (Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich.)
Gogo Lomo-David joins us for a wild, soulful, and hilarious ride. You've seen Gogo in the Starbucks commercial (even though he doesn't drink coffee!), California Lottery, Apartments.com, and The Righteous Gemstones — now get to know the man behind the roles. Even as the face of Starbucks, Gogo admits he doesn't drink coffee — he's naturally wired thanks to his mom's pregnancy cravings for cola and strawberry yogurt. But for Pol and Patrik? He drinks Armenian coffee… and calls it “extra Black.” Gogo spills the tea on his career glow-up: a new commercial with Jennifer Coolidge, acting in Shameless, and two seasons on The Righteous Gemstones with Danny McBride, Walton Goggins, and John Goodman. He praises the cast's improv brilliance and the joy of being on such a dynamic set. Before the gigs, Gogo was an Uber driver. He met wild riders (including someone who discovered Lady Gaga) and endured bad ones (a drunk passenger dropping slurs). These stories reveal Gogo's grit — he drove Uber by day, auditioned by night, and built connections along the way. Gogo shares his African-American story: born in Pennsylvania, raised in North Carolina, and Nigerian by heritage. He teaches Pol and Patrik phrases in Pidgin English, mixing humor with heartfelt reflection. The heart of the episode comes when Pol performs a coffee reading. He sees deep love — a woman Gogo knows well, someone he's never dated but deeply connected to. Gogo opens up: they met in 2016, stayed close, but he backed away when feelings grew. The next day, her boyfriend broke up with her. Now? They're heading to a wedding in Italy — together.

Biden Pardons & Autopen Controversy The discussion centers on claims that President Joe Biden improperly delegated or failed to personally authorize thousands of pardons and commutations at the end of his presidency. Cruz argues that under the Constitution, only the President can personally make pardon decisions, and if staffers used an autopen without Biden’s direct involvement, those pardons are “null and void.” The conversation highlights concerns about Biden’s alleged disengagement, potential misuse of authority by White House staff, and the legal battles that could arise if the Department of Justice revisits these pardons. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz introduces legislation addressing severe religious persecution in Nigeria, where extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa have killed tens of thousands of Christians, attacked churches, and kidnapped priests. The proposed bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, would classify Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” impose sanctions on complicit Nigerian officials, and reinforce designations against jihadist groups. Cruz frames this as part of his long-standing advocacy for global religious freedom and draws parallels to past cases, such as Sudan’s imprisonment of Miriam Ibrahim for her Christian faith.
