Podcasts about Nigerians

Earlier this month, I recorded a conversation with my friend Patricia Agupusi, assistant professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and an expert on insurgencies, political violence, and state capture, among other topics. She has lived and worked extensively in Nigeria, where her fieldwork included interviewing Nigerians displaced by political, ethnic, and religious violence. When I asked […]

On Thursday, December 25, President Donald Trump announced that the United States Africa Command conducted strikes on Islamic State (IS, or ISIS) targets in the state of Sokoto in northwestern Nigeria. According to a military official, a U.S. Navy ship in the Gulf of Guinea fired over a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles, hitting insurgents in two IS camps. The strikes were conducted with the consent of the Nigerian government, and no civilian casualties have been reported.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

It's Tuesday, December 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 Trump bombed Nigerian ISIS camps It was a first in United States history. President Donald Trump authorized US military action against ISIS-linked camps in northwestern Nigeria for the purposes of defending Christians who have been the brunt of a genocide that's taken place over the last decade. At least two camps, run by the Muslim terrorists, were hit by 18 precision missiles last Thursday on Christmas Day, reports The Guardian. Nicaragua banned Bibles Nicaragua has banned Bibles at the border.  Tourists may not carry Bibles in any form into the country, according to new regulations. Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports that the list of forbidden items now includes Bibles, newspapers, magazines, books of any kind, drones and cameras. The Nicaraguan government has also shut down 1,300 religious organizations since April 2018. Repression has picked up since the 2021 election when Daniel Ortega was elected for a fourth consecutive term in office.  Leading opposition candidates were jailed before the sham election.   Nicaragua has the fourth worst economy in South America, just above Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti. Scottish pro-life grandmother arrested outside abortion mill A 75-year-old grandmother is the first to be arrested in Scotland for coming within 656 feet of an abortion mill. This comes after an anti-protesting law was passed last year.   The Times reported that Rose Docherty was holding a sign that simply stated: “Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want.” In John 3:20, Jesus said, “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” Puerto Rico recognizes pre-born baby as a person Puerto Rico will now recognize the human fetus as a natural person from conception. That's the substance of a new law which is intended to provide the unborn child with dignity, rights of inheritance, and legal recognition. Sadly, the country still allows abortion for reasons connected to the alleged “life and health of the mother.” Iran's skyrocketing inflation and war with U.S., Israel, & Europe External and internal pressures are increasing on nations worldwide. Iran has edged up into 53 percent year-on-year inflation. That's the fifth worst in the world.  The economy is exasperated by water and energy shortages. And the nation is dealing with rising numbers of protests and strikes. In a published interview late last week, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran was in a "full-scale" war with the U.S., Israel and Europe. Russia's unrelenting attacks on Ukraine And Russia continues its war on Ukraine. Russia Today reported an additional 32 settlements in the Donbas area came under Russia control in December. United States sold $11 billion of arms to Taiwan Following the U.S. sale of $11 billion of arms to Taiwan, the Chinese armed forces have initiated an aggressive military exercise in the South China Sea.  It's the largest scale blockade and attack simulation ever conducted to date. The communist nation is conducting live-fire exercises extremely close to the shores of Taiwan.  The official People's Liberation Army news site announced that the drills include “task forces of bombers, amphibious assault ships, and anti-ship missiles.” But keep in mind Isaiah 40:15. The prophet wrote, “The nations are as a drop in a bucket and are counted as the small dust on the scales; [The Lord]  lifts up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.” U.S. blocks Venezuela's oil exports Things are heating up in Venezuelan waters — as the U.S. military continues its blockade of the nation's oil exports.  Tankertruckers.com reports  about $1 billion of oil, or about 8-10 tankers, have been held up in the Caribbean by the current blockade.   The Venezuelan government relies on oil exports for about two-thirds of its financing. Venezuela is pushing 250 percent inflation, year-over-year. That qualifies as the absolutely worst conditions in the world. Private Texas schools applying for $10,000 government grants Now, in stateside news, private schools in Texas are signing up for state funding. At least 600 private schools have applied for grants under a new law, for the 2026-27 school year, according to Center Square.  The pilot program is offering $10,000 grants to 100,000 students in the Lone Star state. U.S. dollar less desirable Will the dollar retain supremacy in the world market? The U.S. dollar is less and less desirable by national banks around the world.  The percent of the world's foreign exchange reserve, held in U.S. assets, has dropped off from 72 percent to 57 percent since 1999.  Oklahoma college teacher fired for penalizing Biblical worldview The teacher at the University of Oklahoma who had given a Christian student a zero score on her paper for advocating a biblical view of gender has been fired.  The university issued a statement charging the teacher assistant, by the name of William Curth, with arbitrary grading. The student, Samantha Fulnecky, had appealed to the Bible in her essay, noting that, “God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty. He intentionally created women differently than men.” Dad rescued daughter from kidnapper on Christmas And finally, a Texas dad rescued his daughter from a kidnapper on Christmas Day, reported WDBJ7.com.   The 15-year-old was walking her dog, when she was abducted at knife point. Her father traced her location by the phone — and found his daughter in the suspect's truck, rescued her, and called the authorities. Praise God she was not physically harmed.  What a courageous father!

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a massive FBI investigation into Somali fraud networks in Minnesota, the Trump administration's accelerating deportation and surveillance strategy, the growing political fight over prices and the Senate filibuster, improving drought conditions in the western United States, and major global developments from Africa, Latin America, China, and Australia. FBI Expands Probe into Somali Fraud Networks: FBI Director Kash Patel surged agents and resources into Minnesota following evidence of roughly nine billion dollars in suspected fraud tied to Somali-run daycare centers, Medicaid programs, food banks, and autism services. Investigators are now examining whether state officials and Democratic politicians enabled the schemes by shutting down early warnings. Bryan explains how viral footage showed dozens of fake daycare centers with no children enrolled, yet receiving massive public funds. Political Fallout and Questions for Democrats: Reports indicate that some Somali donors involved in the fraud also contributed to Democratic campaigns across multiple states. Governor Tim Walz previously halted fraud investigations after activists claimed discrimination. Bryan raises questions about whether these networks were used to generate political donations and votes, calling the potential scale of abuse "almost unimaginable." Trump Escalates Immigration Enforcement: ICE expanded highway operations targeting illegal migrant truck drivers in multiple states, while also arresting migrants at court check-ins who then skipped hearings, making them automatically deportable. The administration is deploying advanced tools, including facial recognition, license plate readers, and data from the IRS and Social Security Administration, to locate illegal migrants. Trump also increased the voluntary self-deportation bonus to $3,000, with airfare included, if migrants leave by December 31. Surveillance Tools Target Extremists: The same tracking systems are now being used to identify Antifa members and left-wing agitators under investigation for violence. DOJ officials say the effort responds to intelligence showing left-wing terrorism is now more prevalent than right-wing violence in the United States. Prices and the Filibuster Fight: President Trump warned that inflation and pricing will decide the 2026 midterms. With another government shutdown looming in January, he urged Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to pass healthcare reform. A new GAO audit found widespread Obamacare fraud, including subsidies paid to deceased individuals and duplicate Social Security numbers. Western Drought Conditions Improve: California's drought has eased significantly, boosting agricultural water supplies. Lake Mead rose by three feet following recent storms, adding roughly seventy-two billion gallons of water, more than southern Nevada's projected annual usage. U.S. Strikes ISIS in Nigeria: The Pentagon launched missile strikes on ISIS training camps in northern Nigeria in coordination with the Nigerian government. Democrats criticized the strikes, while the White House rejected claims of racial motivation. Bryan warns that Islamist groups are attempting to establish a caliphate across central Africa. Trump Expands Influence in Latin America: The United States will reopen a strategic base in Manta, Ecuador, to counter narcotics trafficking and monitor Chinese influence. Conservative allies backed by Trump also won elections in Honduras, strengthening U.S. leverage across the region. China Signals Military Threats: Photos released by Chinese media show ballistic missiles concealed in cargo ship containers, a tactic that could be used to attack U.S. forces or ports during a conflict. Bryan says the images were deliberately leaked and amplified by Chinese bots as a warning to the West. Australia Downplays Islamist Attack: Australian officials claimed a recent ISIS-inspired attack on Jews was not religiously motivated, drawing sharp criticism. Bryan argues that refusing to acknowledge the crisis within Islam mirrors decades of Western denial and will lead to more violence. Listener Questions Close the Episode: Bryan answers questions on Ukraine's mineral deals, fuel supply risks tied to California refinery closures, and whether the American republic still exists. He argues the United States now functions more like a parliamentary democracy and explains why the filibuster debate reflects that deeper shift.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: FBI Somali fraud Minnesota, Kash Patel investigation, Tim Walz daycare Medicaid scandal, ICE deportation surveillance tools, self deportation bonus Trump, Antifa terrorism DOJ tracking, Obamacare fraud GAO audit, Lake Mead drought recovery, U.S. Nigeria ISIS airstrikes, Ecuador Manta base Trump, Honduras election Asfura, China cargo ship missiles, Australia ISIS attack denial, filibuster healthcare reform debate

When Ijeoma Uchegbu arrived back in the UK as a single mum of three young children she soon found herself living in a homeless shelter; now she is a pioneer in the field of nanoparticles in medicine.Ijeoma Uchegbu has dedicated her career to studying pharmaceutical nanoscience, seeking out ways to carry medicines to parts of the body that are notoriously hard to reach. But as a schoolgirl in the UK her aspirations were to work in a shop and earn enough to go dancing at weekends. It was when her Nigerian father took her back to his home country, aged 13, that she discovered a passion for science and a burning ambition. Ijeoma went to university at 16, married and started a family of her own but when her marriage failed, desperate to do a PhD she moved back to the UK. By now Ijeoma was a single mum-of-three. The family had one suitcase, no coats, and just £500 to start a new life. It was a battle to keep the family afloat, fed, and safe. But Ijeoma is a fighter; soon she had a job in a lab and a home and a few years later she found love again. Ijeoma co-founded a pharmaceutical company with her new husband. They are currently developing eyedrops to treat blindness and a nasal spray to target pain which she hopes will go some way to addressing the opioid crisis. She was given a damehood earlier this year and is a champion of race equality, and it turns out she also has a talent for stand-up comedy.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Andrea KennedyLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world.

//The Wire//2300Z December 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: USA CONDUCTS CRUISE MISSILE STRIKES IN NIGERIA. SOMALI FRAUD IN MINNESOTA EXPANDS IN SCOPE. RUSSIA STRIKES KIEV AFTER UKRAINE ASSASSINATES GENERAL IN MOSCOW. SERIAL DRIVE-BY SHOOTER ARRESTED IN AUSTIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Ukraine: Over the past few days Russia has responded to the Ukrainian targeting of a Russian General in Moscow, by conducting strikes of their own in Kiev. LTG Fanil Sarvarov was assassinated via an explosive device that was placed inside his vehicle outside his apartment in Moscow.Analyst Comment: Before his death, LTG Sarvarov was the leader of Russia's Operational Training Directorate for the General Staff. The strikes in Kiev are not exactly good news for the peace process, but neither is an assassination of a General in Moscow, so this tit-for-tat targeting is mostly a wash.Nigeria: The Pentagon conducted missile strikes in the Islamic State-held northwestern territories of the nation on Christmas Day. The strikes were carried out on known Islamic State training camps and facilities, which have been legendary for carrying out exploitation, kidnapping, and terrorist attacks around the nation. Local Nigerian officials stated that the US carried out strikes in the Sokoto district, targeting the sub-group referred to as Islamic State-Sahel Province (ISSP).Analyst Comment: The rampant insurgencies carried out by the Islamic State throughout the entire Sahel region are by no means a new conflict, and Nigeria specifically has been host to kidnapping/ransom-style attacks on populated villages for several decades. In short, various ethnic cleansing and genocide operations have become regular and routine throughout the region over the past few centuries, but more recently have come to a head as insurgents consolidate power around the continent. As a reminder, a major scandal emerged back in 2024, when the government of Nigeria adopted a very hostile tone towards the United States, forcing the abandonment (allegedly) of Air Base 101 and 201 (in Niamey and Agadez, respectively), which were bases used by the US to target the Islamic State militants that Nigeria is now having to deal with. In the past year that the US has had a reduced role throughout the region, it would seem that Nigeria would like some more American missiles.These recent strikes were significant, but conflicts in Africa do not often abide by the universally understood ways of warfare in the west. As such, whether or not these strikes actually did anything is anyone's guess; erasing a map grid square which previously held a significant training camp surely would have resulted in some level of setback for militants, however only time will tell if this effort will reduce the capabilities of insurgent groups in the region.Of note, the technical details of the strikes are contradictory between the various agencies involved. For instance, Nigerian officials state that the strikes were carried out by MQ-9 Reaper drones, however the Pentagon published a video of (likely Tomahawk) missiles being launched from an unnamed Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer. This doesn't necessarily mean much, as it's very doubtful that the US told Nigeria anything about the strike beyond very basic details. However, this does bring into question exactly what intelligence was used to conduct the strikes. USAFRICOM has had a counter-insurgency mission throughout the continent for decades, so it's not out of the question for the US to carry out strikes without Nigeria's help at all (which is probably for the best). After all, Islamic State training camps aren't exactly hard to find. However, the Nigerian government has serious incentive to feed the US bad intel which results in bad strikes. Throughout the third world, one of the biggest complications for targeting are local sources providing "tips" on "insurg

Unsafe Nigeria; Gumi Describes US Military Action In Sokoto A Terrorist Acthttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/unsafe-nigeria-gumi-describes-us-military-action-in-sokoto-a-terrorist-act/#Issues #Gumi #Omokri #Sokoto #Sowore #Tinubu #Trump #US ©December 26th, 2025 ®December 27, 2025 12:14 am One of the most talked about Islamic Preachers in Nigeria who have had photographs with people suspected to be terrorists; terrorizing villages and communities in the Northern part of Nigeria when he visited the suspected terrorists in their camps inside forests on the ground of having peace talk with the armed groups, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi has described as a terrorist act the United States, US military action ordered by President Donald Trump that attacked and killed yet to be ascertained total numbers of ISIS affiliated Lakurawa terrorists in Sokoto State on Christmas Day, this, the Islamic Cleric called on the people in the villages affected by the US missiles' strikes on Thursday night to post on social media platforms evidences of damages caused by the US military action,   according to Gumi, it is inline with the teaches of Islam for terrorists to be killed, but, the killing must be done by people with a clean and holy hands, and "not by another terrorist whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women, and men just recently", stressing that, the US involvement in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria will make the country becomes an enemy of its neighbours, a theatre of war, because the involvement will attract the real anti-US Forces into the West Africa country, and in a manner that looked like mockery, Sheikh Gumi said "dropping a few bombs here and there cannot tackle the menace of terror; they need serious military on the ground, which, if we are serious, we have enough men to do that", in contrary to Gumi's assertions, the Nigeria Government, through the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar said it was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday that gave the US the approval to carry out the strikes against the terrorists, but the government statement apparently did not go down well with Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and the founder of SaharaReporters news media, who insisted that "it is evident that the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu", and in a swift reaction to Omoyele Sowore, one of the recently nominated and confirmed Ambassador-Designate, Reno Omokri said "I am afraid I will have to disagree with Mr Omoyele Sowore, and others like him, who are misinforming the Nigerian public that the recent actions against terrorists are proof that Nigeria lacks sovereignty, Such views are indicative of a lack of awareness of international relations, It is also wrong for Mr Sowore to call our government and military weak". #OsazuwaAkonedoUnsafe Nigeria;

Nigeria's foreign minister has said US strikes against the Islamic State group were nothing to do with a particular religion, despite Donald Trump's assertions. He said that the attacks targeted militants killing Nigerians- irrespective of their faith.

It's Friday, December 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christmas for Christians Internationally Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day yesterday!  But in some countries celebrating Christmas is illegal and must be done in secret.  Persecution.org reported what Christians in certain countries risk by acknowledging the Christmas Holiday. In Brunei, in Asia, public displays of Christmas are banned. While Christians are allowed to recognize the holiday inside their homes or churches, they can't hold any public Christmas celebrations. The nation officially banned public Christmas displays in 2014, fearing that they could lead Muslims away from Islam. Muslims found violating the ban, by wearing Santa hats or in some fashion partaking in banned Christmas festivities, could face up to five years in prison. Additionally, Christians are prohibited from spreading the gospel to Muslims. In China, they allow approved groups to hold restricted Christmas celebrations, which vary by region. Individuals younger than 18 years old are forbidden to attend Christmas church celebrations, and authorities continue their campaign to force churches to inject communism into Christian worship. In Iran, Christmas gatherings are allowed in registered churches and approved districts. Small, unregistered house-churches, particularly those of Muslim converts to Christianity, are often raided by authorities.  In November 2025, two individuals who converted to Christianity from Islam began serving a two-year prison sentence for charges related to their participation in a Christian house church. In addition, all church services are forbidden to be conducted in Farsi, Iran's native language. Instead, foreign languages, such as Armenian or Assyrian, are typically used to curb the spread of Christianity to native-born Muslim-Iranians.  Read about other countries in the link on our transcript at www.theworldview.com Ephesians 6:18 says  "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" Christians Blocked from Attending Christmas Service in Indonesia Morning Star News reports that Muslims in the West Java Province, Indonesia formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service on December 14th.  Videos on social media show police officers and onlookers watching dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form a human chain, making anti-Christian comments.  Indonesian society in recent years has adopted a more conservative Islamic character, and churches involved in evangelistic outreach are at risk of being targeted by Islamic extremist groups, according to Open Doors. Nigerian Christian Receives Full Pardon from Death Sentence A Nigerian Christian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani radical in self-defense following an attack on his farm has been released from prison after receiving a full pardon according to the Christian Post. Christian rights advocates including US Rep. Riley M Moore of West Virginia are celebrating the release of Sunday Jackson, a student and farmer from the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who was sentenced to death in 2021 over a 2015 confrontation on his farm.  Here is Representative Riley M Moore calling attention to this issue to the US House. MOORE: “I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the death penalty! Where's the justice in that? All these Fulani militants are breaking the law. They are breaking Nigerian law. And so, Sunday Jackson disarms this person with a knife, protects his own life. He's going to prison, and now faces the death penalty, and Fulani militants, just roaming bands of them, with AK-47s, and that's no problem.” Moore went on to say ‘Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned…I have been advocating for Sunday's release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria.' Psalm 138:7 says, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Woman Dying of Cancer Receives Hundreds of Christmas Cards Good News Network tells of Clare Jones from Wales a mother of 3 who was told her cancer was no longer responding to treatment and given months to live made a simple request on Facebook she said, ‘After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas.  I am looking for ways to make it super special!  I'm a simple person who likes simple things.  I love Christmas Cards!  I would love to have lots of cards this year!...when you are doing your cards could you pop an extra one for me?' That post was shared 10,000 times and her mailbox has received hundreds of cards this holiday season.  Many of the cards contain show and movie tickets, vouchers for camping trips, free flights and other gifts.  Jones told the BBC ‘I have many people around me who care for me.  If love could cure cancer, I would be cured.'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida over the weekend. Zelenskyy told journalists that the two leaders will discuss security guarantees for Ukraine during Sunday's talks, and that the 20-point plan under discussion “is about 90% ready.”Trump announced a “powerful and deadly strike” targeting the ISIS terrorist group in northwest Nigeria on Thursday. Trump said the group had not heeded warnings, leading to the Christmas night strike. The Trump administration has also designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act, which opens the country up to sanctions. A Pentagon spokesperson told The Epoch Times that the Nigerian government approved the strikes.

The U.S. military launched a series of airstrikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Christmas Day. The strikes followed reports that the terrorist group has been killing Christians in the country. The U.S. says the operation was carried out at the request of the Nigerian government, which described the strikes as a “joint operation” targeting terrorists.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is set to meet with President Trump in Florida on Sunday. According to Kyiv, the latest peace deal is “90 percent ready,” even as fighting continues.A powerful storm system triggered catastrophic flooding across California during the Christmas holiday, killing at least three people. Entire neighborhoods were submerged, prompting water rescues, with more dangerous weather still ahead.

President Trump said that he delayed U.S. military strikes in Nigeria until Christmas Day to deliver a message to groups he alleges are targeting Christians. The Nigerian government praised the attacks and said it provided the U.S. with the necessary intelligence. Nick Schifrin discussed more with former Amb. J.

In today's episode, we dive into some of the biggest conversations surrounding college sports, professional leagues, and the business side of the game.We start with UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor's comments on players opting out of bowl games, and what his perspective says about how college football continues to evolve in the NIL and transfer-portal era.Next, we break down the developing legal battle involving Vanderbilt quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Diego Pavia, who is suing the NCAA over whether time spent at a junior college should count toward a player's eligibility. Could this case reshape eligibility rules across college athletics?From there, we shift to basketball and discuss Nigerian player James Nnaji, who has already been drafted to the NBA but may still have the option to play college basketball. Is that fair? And what does it reveal about the inconsistencies in amateurism rules?To close things out, we talk about the Kansas City Chiefs' decision to move their franchise from Missouri to Kansas, what led to the move, and what it means for fans, funding, and the future of professional sports cities.We discuss all of this and more—so remember, if you didn't hear it from the horse's mouth, stop listening to the ass who told you.SONG OF THE EPISODE: Shane Eagle- AlchemyFollow us on All Platforms: Bryce Olden:  https://www.instagram.com/brycedavidoldenBryce Davis: https://www.instagram.com/bruc3l3royBryce Olden: https://www.facebook.com/bryce.oldenBryce Olden: https://x.com/BryceSFHMShow

« La brouille entre les États-Unis et nous, c'est terminé », a déclaré lundi 22 décembre le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohammed Idris, qui a même annoncé un « partenariat renforcé ». Lors d'une conférence de presse, il s'est félicité également du niveau de coopération atteint entre son pays et la France. Le porte-parole du président Bola Tinubu faisait-il allusion aux événements du Bénin, le 7 décembre dernier ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré, président du Club des francophones du Nigeria, répond aux questions de RFI. RFI : Quand le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohamed Idriss, affirme que la brouille avec les États-Unis est résolue, est-ce que vous pensez qu'il a raison ou pas ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré : Il a certainement raison dans la mesure où le Nigeria a sollicité les États-Unis depuis 2014, après les enlèvements des filles de Chibok, au nord-est du Nigeria. Donc, on a toujours voulu avoir une coopération avec les États-Unis, avec les puissances étrangères qui pouvaient aider le Nigeria. Et aujourd'hui, les États-Unis sont certainement arrivés à cette conclusion que le gouvernement fédéral du Nigeria cherche à coopérer pour trouver une solution à ces problèmes de terrorisme et de banditisme au nord du Nigeria. Alors, en effet, une enquête de l'agence Reuters révèle que le conseiller à la sécurité nationale du Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu, a rencontré le 20 novembre dernier le secrétaire d'État américain à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, et que depuis un mois, un avion de surveillance américain décolle tous les jours du Ghana pour aller survoler le Nigeria. Quel type de renseignement peut aller chercher cet avion pour le compte à la fois des États-Unis et du Nigeria ?  Étant donné que les États-Unis ont des moyens de renseignement qui sont plus importants que ceux du Nigeria, avec notamment les satellites et les mouvements dans la région, le Nigeria, depuis longtemps, a demandé donc des renseignements pour voir les mouvements des groupes terroristes. Ça peut être Boko Haram, ça peut être d'autres organisations terroristes. Il y a des groupes qui étaient déjà formés. Il y a aussi des groupes qui viennent de l'extérieur du Nigeria. Voulez-vous dire que les Américains aident les Nigerians à contrôler leur frontière nord avec le Niger ? Entre autres, oui. Ça peut être à l'intérieur du Nigeria. Ça peut être aussi le contrôle des frontières avec le Niger. Vous savez que c'est une région très poreuse. C'est pour cela que je regrette d'ailleurs que tous les pays de la région ne coopèrent pas, parce que ceux qui sont en train d'être chassés désormais depuis quelques jours maintenant du Nigeria, ils vont retourner de nouveau vers le Niger. Donc, il faut absolument une coopération globale dans la région pour pouvoir arriver à résoudre ces problèmes de mouvements et d'organisations terroristes. Alors, l'autre pays avec lequel coopère le Nigeria en ce moment, c'est ce qu'a dit le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria ce lundi, c'est la France. Quel est le type de partenariat sécuritaire entre les deux pays ?  Vous savez, nous sommes entourés par les pays francophones, donc ce sont des pays sur lesquels la France avait un certain pouvoir pour la sécurité, je vais dire dans cette région-là. D'ailleurs, la coopération avec la France ne date pas de Bola Tinubu. La coopération avec la France date de très longtemps et aussi bien la coopération économique que la coopération sécuritaire. Donc, à partir du moment où on sait que la France a une certaine aura sécuritaire dans la région, nous avons besoin de la France pour nous donner quelques renseignements dans cette région-là.  Le 7 décembre dernier, lors d'une tentative de putsch au Bénin, les armées du Nigeria et de la France sont intervenues en soutien au président Patrice Talon. Peut-on parler d'une action coordonnée entre Abuja et Paris ?  Je ne sais pas si l'action était coordonnée. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que le Nigeria ne pouvait pas laisser le Bénin dans les mains d'un régime militaire, alors qu'il connaissait déjà, à sa frontière nord, le régime militaire du Niger. Donc, le Nigeria ne voulait pas être entouré par des régimes militaires et il était de toute façon obligé d'intervenir au Bénin pour éviter cette hécatombe démocratique que nous avons dans la région.  Il y a deux ans, après le putsch de juillet 2023 au Niger, il y a eu un vrai différend entre le Français Emmanuel Macron, qui poussait à une intervention militaire au Niger, et le Nigerian Bola Tinubu, qui finalement a fait échouer cette opération. Est-ce qu'il y a toujours ce malentendu aujourd'hui entre messieurs Macron et Tinubu ?  Il faut savoir que l'intervention du Nigeria n'a pas pu avoir lieu au Niger, parce que le nom de la France a été utilisé par les autres régimes militaires au Burkina Faso, au Mali, pour dire attention, c'est la France qui veut intervenir. S'il n'y avait pas eu la France, s'il n'y avait pas eu le nom de la France, le Nigeria serait certainement intervenu pour aller rétablir au pouvoir le président Bazoum qui avait été élu à cette époque-là.  Alors, pourquoi le Nigeria n'est-il pas intervenu au Niger en 2023 ? Et pourquoi est-il intervenu au Bénin en 2025 ?  C'est qu'au Bénin, c'est différent. Au Bénin, c'est que le Nigeria était en danger parce que nous avons des relations économiques très poussées avec le Bénin. Beaucoup de Nigérians ont investi au Bénin et, si on prend le Bénin, on prend forcément le Togo avec. Et le Nigeria ne voulait pas que cette Cédéao soit aussi vite désintégrée, ce qui aurait mis le Nigeria aussi en danger. En termes de démocratie, il faut savoir que, depuis 1999, le Nigeria connaît un régime démocratique. J'ai l'habitude de dire que la démocratie n'est pas un produit fini. C'est un produit à améliorer constamment. Et le Nigeria améliore sa démocratie en termes d'avancées politiques et économiques.

It's Tuesday December 23rd, A.D. 2025.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Kevin Swanson and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin (contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christian Nigerian Youth Fight off Armed Fulani for Over an Hour Young men defending women and children to the death! That's the story from Nigeria today. While a wedding party was taking place in the town of Bundu-Kahugu, a small group off young men, volunteer guards fought off armed Fulani for over an hour. The boys never retreated, as they held off the heavily armed attackers with nothing but machetes and handmade pipe guns. Four of the Christian youth were killed, and another six critically wounded. . The terrorists were unable to kidnap a single soul, or burn down any of the homes in the village. One observer told Truth Nigeria: “[The Fulani] attacked from four sides at the same time, at 11:45 pm Friday night.” And he said. “Our town has about 2000 homes, a small police post, a bank, two primary School and a High School. . .It is a Christian town, and we are expanding all the times because of high birthrates.” “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” (John 15:13) Praise God for the courage of a few young men.  Would you pray for Nigerian Christians this Christmas season.

David came in second, behind Avatar at the weekend box office, with $22 million gross receipts. Angel Studios is best known for their production of the films, “Sound of Freedom” and “His Only Son.” Earlier this year, Angel Studios produced “King of kings” — an animated film on the Life of Christ — pulling down $80 million total receipts. Hallmark Features Sexual Perversion Hallmark Channel enters its sixth year of producing Christmas films featuring couples engaged in relationships characterized by sexual perversion. While Hallmark is running after the homosexual market, the pro-homosexual lobby has issued some disappointment over the drop-off of mainstream media support for their perversions. The 2025 GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index shows Hollywood studios decreasing LGBTQ characterization by 24%, 27%, and 29% respectively in the years 2023, 2024, and 2025. 1 John 2:17 reminds us that “the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Bolsonaro's Son to Run for President in Brazil Brazil's former conservative president has officially started serving his 27-year sentence for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results. Now, Jair Bolsonaro's son has announced he's running for president in 2026. Flavio Bolsonaro says he's conservative on taxes and spending, but more moderate on others. . . He told Reuters, that he's still good with COVID-19 vaccines. 43% of Churchgoers are Pro-Life A recent Family Research Center survey indicates some bad news for American Christians. Only 43% of churchgoers describe themselves now as pro-life, down from 63% two years ago. The survey looked at regular churchgoers — only 44% of the American population. Only 41% of churches bring up the topic of abortion multiple times a year. The Human Coalition, the Family Research Council, and other Christian leaders have issued a public letter to pastors in America pointing out that the life issue is a gospel issue. The letter, signed by Tony Perkins and Dr. Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary exhorts pastors to 1. Preach the Gospel of Life with clarity and compassion. 2. Proclaim the truth that every unborn child is sacred. 3. Offer the hope of Christ to post-abortive men and women in your pews. And, 4. Equip. . .congregations to be defenders of the vulnerable. 30,000 Attend Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix brought in 30,000 Charlie Kirk fans over the weekend. . . The event featured the Who's Who in America conservativism — Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump Jr., and Vice President J.D. Vance. Rifts between the speakers surfaced — on issues related to America First nationalism and policy related to Israel. Younger Republicans are far more hesitant to support Israel than older Republicans, according to a recent You-Gov Survey. Taking one metric for instance, only 10% of twenty-something Republicans favor giving military support to Israel — compared to 49% of Republicans over 65 years of age.  InsiderAdvantage has released presidential approval numbers — Trump stands at 50%. . . The gender gap remains — 34% of American men disapprove of Trump's performance, against 47% of women registering disapproval. Gold Charges Upwards and Condo Prices Rise Gold is still charging upwards — now $4,438 per ounce, and silver upwards of $68 and change. Condo prices, seen as the canary warning in the mines for real estate — are sinking fast right now. Florida condos have dropped 15-30% from 2022 highs. Texas condo prices are down 15-20%, and Colorado Condos prices are down 10-15%. Add 11% for inflation and we're looking at a 20-40% contraction on the 2022 bubble.

Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria's funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—is back. This week, TMT & Koj dig into a truth every Millennial in the diaspora eventually learns: no matter how far you travel, you can't outrun the Naij inside of you.The Millennial Reality Check: The boys open with the “Millennial Dream” and the corporate bias that still favors the married-with-kids crowd. From ballot boxes to boardrooms, they land on a thesis: the world isn't as progressive as it pretends—everywhere has a conservative spine, just like Naij.Wedding Warfare & “The Bottle Guy”: What does it take to survive a 700-person Nigerian wedding as a sober person? TMT breaks down his promotion to “The Bottle Guy”—part event planner, part logistics wizard, part miracle worker—and the pressure of delivering a brother-of-the-bride toast to a sea of aunties and expectations.Why Shelter Is… Sexy: Domestic life gets spicy as Koj chronicles furniture hunts and couch lust. They argue for lived-in homes over sterile showrooms—ditch the museum vibes, keep the joy, make your house feel like yours.The Anti-Hustle Manifesto: A liberating reminder for the burnt-out millennial: not everything needs a side hustle. Take the jiu-jitsu class, throw clay at a pottery studio, pick up a guitar just to be bad at it. Adults are allowed to learn for the sake of being human.Culture, weddings, furniture thirst, and soft rebellion—proof that Nigeria isn't just a place; it's a pattern you'll keep recognizing everywhere. Press play.

Nigeria's tax reforms were designed to strengthen revenue collection and streamline administration, but the controversy surrounding their passage has raised serious questions about process, trust and accountability.With lawmakers rejecting the gazetted versions of the tax laws and pressure mounting on the Federal Government to halt implementation, uncertainty now hangs over businesses, investors and taxpayers.On Nigeria Daily, we examine the disputed tax laws, the political and economic implications of enforcing them despite resistance, and what this standoff could mean for governance and ordinary Nigerians.

Global Cybercrime Crackdowns and Rising Threats This episode of 'Cybersecurity Today' hosted by David Shipley covers significant cybersecurity news. Nigerian police arrested three suspects linked to a Microsoft 365 phishing platform known as Raccoon O365. U.S. prosecutors charged 54 individuals in an ATM malware scheme tied to a Venezuelan criminal organization. Two incident responders pleaded guilty to conducting ransomware attacks while employed to help victims of such attacks. Denmark officially blamed Russia for a cyber attack on a water utility, exacerbating geopolitical tensions. Each segment highlights the intricate and international nature of modern cybercrime and the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity. 00:00 Introduction and Sponsor Message 00:20 Nigerian Police Arrest Phishing Suspects 03:28 US ATM Malware Scheme Uncovered 05:46 Insider Ransomware Attackers Plead Guilty 08:21 Denmark Blames Russia for Cyber Attack 11:08 Conclusion and Holiday Wishes 12:20 Sponsor Message and Closing

Sister Mary T Barron, Superior General of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Apostles, which manages St Mary's Catholic Primary and Secondary schools in Papiri, Nigeria on the release of children abducted from the school last month.

This week, we break down Albo's defensive masterclass on Sunrise where he pulls off the classic "I'm not the finance minister" dodge, name-drops Sussan Ley, and attempts the slowest political pivot in history — all while journalists actually hold his feet to the fire about ministerial spending. Beauty Pageant Politics: The Million Dollar Distraction While the Murdoch media machine goes into overdrive about Annika Wells' travel expenses, we expose the cherry-picked outrage for what it really is: beauty pageant politics designed to distract you from the real scams. Sure, politicians waste a million bucks on flights — but while you're focused on that, Labor's taking $600,000 from gambling companies and refusing to ban gambling ads that cost Aussies $31 billion a year. We do the bad maths: if banning gambling ads reduced losses by just 3%, that's a billion dollars back in punters' pockets — or a thousand times more than all the ministerial travel rorts combined. Transurban's Toll Scam: The Junk Fee Heist Nobody's Talking About Konrad gets absolutely fleeced by Transurban's toll fee scam — $40 in tolls, $50 in junk fees — and breaks down every single predatory charge this legal monopoly hits you with: $10 admin fees, $0.75 "video matching" fees, $15 non-return tag fees, and a dozen other made-up charges that would make a Nigerian prince blush. Plus, we float the idea of a digital toll protest: what if 100,000 punters just stopped paying until Transurban pays their fair share of tax? It's a toll hostage situation — you want your money? Start acting like a legitimate business. Also: Konrad rates his own political redirect performance, we answer Spotify comments about whether One Nation is taking over the Libs, and we're officially on a government-mandated break until February (probably).

A woman walks away from toxic-tort law in Oakland, loads four Nigerian dwarf goats into a Honda Element, and drives 3,000 miles with her partner to a scruffy little farm in Thurman, NY. Two decades later, that leap of faith has become Nettle Meadow: a sanctuary for hundreds of animals and the home of Kunik, one of the most celebrated cheeses in America. In this episode, we sit down with Sheila Flanagan, CEO and co-founder of Nettle Meadow, to trace the journey from collapsing barns and ice storms to national cheese awards and the warm glow of the Hitching Post Tavern in Lake Luzerne. Sheila shares how she and her partner, Lorraine, learned cheesemaking by trial, error, and sheer stubbornness—and why the terroir of the Southern Adirondacks is baked into every wheel they produce.You'll hear about the goats who rode cross-country, the historic butter cellar that turned into an aging cave, the community that carried them through lean winters, and the tough choices they're facing now as they look for the right partner to help Nettle Meadow's next chapter unfold. If you've ever daydreamed about ditching a soul-crushing job for something wilder and more meaningful, this one's for you.What you'll hear in this episodeHow a burned-out toxic-tort lawyer in Oakland fell in love with a tiny goat farm listing and convinced her partner to move to Thurman, NY.The origin story of Kunik—why Sheila calls it “a buttery brie with a goat kick at the end,” and how Nigerian dwarf goats tricked them into thinking they were instant cheese geniuses.Growing from 36 goats to close to a thousand animals: hybrid “all-American” goats, Jersey cows, sheep, and a whole lot of retired and differently abled residents living their best lives.Why Adirondack terroir matters: goats munching nettles and raspberry leaf, loamy soil, and a 19th-century butter cellar that shaped the flavor of their cheeses.The brutal first winters—ice storms, deep snow, generators, and the moment Sheila almost put the farm back up for sale.How and why Nettle Meadow took on the historic Hitching Post Tavern near Lake George, and turned a dude-ranch roadhouse into an Adirondack cheese tavern and production hub.Tips for pairing Nettle Meadow cheeses with mac and cheese, salads, flatbreads, and more—plus how the menu gently converts “goat cheese skeptics.”Where to find Nettle Meadow cheeses across the country, from NYC specialty shops to regional grocers and national chains.Sheila's honest look at growth, finances, and why they're now seeking an investor to help sustain the mission—and possibly relocate the sanctuary closer to Lake Luzerne.Her advice for anyone dreaming of a big life change: what she'd do differently, and why she still says “go for it.”Resources:Learn more at www.nettlemeadow.comNettle Meadow Farm & Artisan CheeseHitching Post TavernToad Hill Maple FarmFriends Lake InnOscar's SmokehouseMartins LumberProduced by NOVA
