Today's Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112625.cfmToday's guest homilist, Fr. Richard Shuaibu of the Diocese of Sokoto, Nigeria, joined us at the National Shrine to share a living testimony of the Gospel we heard proclaimed—Christ's promise that “not a hair on your head will be destroyed” because eternal life is secure in Him. Introducing him, Fr. Chris reminded us that while persecution is rising across the world—especially in Nigeria—the victory of the Christian is not measured by earthly safety but by fidelity that leads to heaven.Fr. Richard's powerful witness brought this truth into sharp focus. He spoke of daily persecution: churches burned, priests martyred, families displaced, children abducted, communities attacked simply for bearing the name of Jesus. And yet—he stood before us with unshakable peace. Why? Because the enemy cannot conquer the heart that belongs to Christ.He reminded us that Christians do not fight with weapons of destruction, but with weapons of conversion: the Holy Rosary and the maternal protection of Our Lady. Even amid violence, miracles occur. Even in the jungle, faith endures. And even under threat of death, Fr. Richard proclaimed the truth: “There is no God but the Lord, and Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”Please pray for Fr. Richard, for the Church in Nigeria, and for all who suffer for the Gospel. And may his witness strengthen us to stand firm in Christ, who alone is our hope and our life.#marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #catholictiktok #frchrisalar #persecution #martyrs #nigeria #prayfornigeria #courage #faith #rosary #ourlady ★ Support this podcast ★

On Sunday, August 17, what was meant to be a routine trip to Goronyo Market in Sokoto State turned into a nightmare. A boat overloaded with more than 50 passengers — including traders, farmers, and even motorcycles — capsized midway, plunging families into grief. So far, authorities have confirmed at least 30 deaths, while many others remain unaccounted for, according to the Sokoto State Emergency Management Agency.Sadly, this is not the first time Nigerians are waking up to such heartbreaking news. From Kebbi to Niger, Kwara to Sokoto, boat mishaps have become all too common, leaving a trail of sorrow across riverine communities.In today's episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask: why do these tragedies keep happening? And more importantly, what must be done to put an end to them?

In a dramatic turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been summoning some of Nigeria's most prominent politicians for questioning over the past six months. But as the list of invitees grows, so do allegations of political bias. Critics claim that many of those being probed belong to opposition parties, fueling speculation that the EFCC is being wielded as a tool for political vendetta. In today's episode of Nigeria Daily, we'll take a closer look at the politicians who've been called in, and explore the burning question: are these investigations genuinely about holding public officials accountable, or are they just a manifestation of politics as usual?

Every drop of rain is supposed to bring relief — but for many Nigerians, it also brings sickness.Each year, as the skies open and the streets flood, a silent crisis creeps in: malaria cases rise, cholera spreads, typhoid knocks, and pneumonia quietly claims victims.The rainy season doesn't just drench our cities — it floods our hospitals with patients battling illnesses that could have been prevented.Why does this happen year after year?And more importantly, how can you protect yourself and your family from becoming part of the statistics?In today's episode of Nigeria Daily, we look at how rain-related diseases affect Nigerians — and what you can start doing now to stay healthy this season.

There is an uneasy calm in some parts of Sokoto State.As the rainy season intensifies, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a fresh warning predicting flash floods in 20 states across Nigeria.And the State, where the risk of severe flooding is expected to be especially high in the coming days, is top on the list is Sokoto.This warning has sparked growing concern among residents, especially in low-lying and densely populated areas. Which parts of Sokoto are most at risk? Are residents prepared? And what steps is the government taking to mitigate the damage?These are the issues we are going to examine in today's episode of Nigeria Daily.

Four Nigerian states—Kaduna, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Kebbi—face a potential total blackout as the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), Kaduna State Council, plans to shut down Kaduna Electric from March 1st, 2025. This raised concerns about its impact on businesses, and daily activities.In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we explore the reasons behind this move, its effects on ordinary Nigerians, and whether a resolution is possible before the shutdown begins.

On this episode, WHQR's Ben Schachtman sat down with Abdul Hafeedh Bin Abdullah, co-founder of Sokoto House and the Quality Life Blueprint, to talk about how he sees the issue of community safety through a public-safety lens, and where some other efforts — like Tru Colors and Port City United — may have fallen short.

2024 brought relentless insecurity, loss, and fear to many Northern Nigerian communities, with violence and displacement dominating regions like Kaduna, Borno, Sokoto, and Zamfara. Despite the hardships, stories of hope and resilience emerged as people adapted, rebuilt, and found strength in faith and community-led efforts. These challenges took a toll on mental health, livelihoods, and the economy, raising questions about their root causes and lessons for the future. On Nigeria Daily today, we'll explore these stories, hear firsthand accounts, and gain insights from experts on navigating a safer and more resilient 2025.

An industrial revolution in Southeast Africa? Following the abolition of the slave trade in 1817, the future of the economy of Imerina was in flux. Looking for a replacement for the system of slave trading, the Merina king Radama initiates a strategy of industrialization, one of the first intentional industrialization initiatives in history. Large iron forging complexes, agricultural processing facilities, leather tanning centers, and gunpowder manufacturing facilities were all part of Radama's plan to replace the slave trade economy with one of finished good manufacturing.Support the show

Prior to his coronation, the king of Imerina, Radama, promised to his father that he would expand the kingdom towards the coast. In 1817, he accomplished this goal, conquering the largest port on Madagascar's eastern coast, Toamasina.But this was only the beginning. With a new coastal possession, Imerina was launched into a global world of international politics. Starting in 1817, Radama initiated a crusade to "modernize" his kingdom, launching radical new reforms to its systems of education, economy, industry, and architecture. In a sense, the reforms of the Merina kingdom mark the first period of history in which an African country tries to "catch up" with Europe, a phenomenon still relevant throughout Africa to this day. Imerina's fate in this quest is an informative story to follow for anyone interested in the questions of why certain countries are rich, others are poor, and how this relationship may be changed.Practicing Connection: Working together to help families and communities thrive.Jessica Beckendorf and Bob Bertsch host this exploration of personal and collective...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Teaching While Queer PodcastTeaching While Queer Podcast is a space for LGBTQIA+ educators, administrators, and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

If his father is the most remembered king in Madagascar, Radama is probably the best-known Malagasy king in the rest of the world. Radama is famous not only for leading the first major push to unify his home island but also for his later efforts to modernize and industrialize the Merina Empire. But how did this fascinating man come to power in the first place? Today, we track Radama's ascent from heir to the throne to the most powerful king in the history of Madagascar.Support the show

In our last episode, Andrianampoinimerina reunited the warring kingdoms of Imerina after seven decades of intermittent civil war. While this alone is a significant achievement, Andrianampoinimerina also had to shoulder the considerable burden of trying to repair his economically and socially devastated kingdom. Through smart and efficient use of the Fanamapoana corvee labor system, Andrianampoinimerina directed the repair, construction, and maintenance of hundreds of canals and dams, which greatly revitalized the region's agricultural output. Combined with the end of the Sakalava raids, this resulted in a major population boom. Soil depletion and overpopulation, however, forced Merina people to expand their territory for further settlement, at the expense of neighboring people.Support the show

Andrianampoinimerina is the most famous monarch in Malagasy history, and for good reason.At a young age, Andrianampoinimerina, still then known by his birth name Rambosalamarazaka, quickly emerged as the favorite to inherit the kingdom of Ambohimanga. However, the kingdom was instead inherited by his uncle Andrianjafy. Throughout his rule, the king would enact several unpopular policies. His failed wars against the king of Antananarivo led to economic strife, as did growing tribute demands from Ambohimanga's Sakalava overlords. In order to cope with these growing demands, Andrianjafy made the unpopular decision to begin manufacturing criminal accusations against his own subjects to justify selling them into slavery. This unpopular decision justified a group of nobles in overthrowing Andrianjafy and placing Andrianampoinimerina into power.Support the show

After Andriamasinavalona's passing, his sons' feud will blossom into a 70-year long civil war. Communities will tear each other apart, slave raiding will reach new heights, and famine will re-emerge as a new threat.  Meanwhile, Merina rulers will engage in some experimental policies, like the minting of the region's first local coins, but mostly just kill each other.Support the show

The 18th century will be a painful time for the people of Imerina. The once proud kingdom will devolve into a deadly multilateral civil war, splitting into dozens of smaller kingdoms, each suffering from intermittent famine and domination by foreign enemies. How could the kingdom of Andriamasinavalona, rapidly rising to become a major player in Madagascar, fall so far. The inciting incident lays at the feet of the otherwise great king Andriamasinavalona.The mpanjaka Imerina had spread his kingdom several times beyond what his predecessors would have even considered possible. Could such a large kingdom survive in highland Madagascar? Andriamasinavalona believed that the answer was "no." Instead, he favored transforming the Merina kingdom into a confederation of four smaller states called Imerina Efa Toko, or "Imerina like the Legs of a Cooking Pot." The king's advisor Andriamampandry repeated warned him against the plan, cautioning that the newly empowered princes would immediately seek to make war with each other. But Andriamasinavalona persisted. Support the show

The class conflict of Imerina comes to a head, as the free peasants of central Madagascar overthrow the hated king Razakatsitakatrandria. In his place they elevate Andriamasinavalona, a king far more willing to listen and act on their concerns, ushering in a golden age of Merina history.Support the show

As Andrianjaka passes his stable but poor kingdom to his grandchildren, they undertake an enormous project to improve the agricultural output of Imerina. Their largest project, consisting of the miles of canals and terraces of Betsimitatra, would go on to transform the destiny of Imerina's history. This project, completed using the fanampoana system of conscript labor,  would forever transform the demographics of Imerina by kicking off a decades-long trend of rapid Merina population growth.Support the show

Despite being the younger of Ralambo's sons, Andrianjaka inherited the kingdom of Imerina due to his brother's board gaming addiction. He would make the most of this time, with some of the most important developments during his rule including: the foundation of Madagascar's most important city in Antananarivo, the canonization of religious practices surrounding the sampy, and the final expulsion of the remaining Vazimba from the kingdom.Support the show

In the early 17th century, a raiding party of Sakalava soldiers entered Imerina. King Ralambo, faced with an existential threat, was forced to rely only on a combination of his own wit and divine assistance from the idol Kelimalaza. According to the Tantara, Kelimalaza assisted Ralambo in all of his shocking victories over his larger and better-equipped enemy armies. Support the show

While Imerina is our primary focus this season, they were far from the pre-eminent power in 18th Century Madagascar. In today's show, let's learn about the first empire to truly dominate Madagascar, the equally fascinating and enigmatic kingdom known as Sakalava. Since our show is primarily told from the Merina perspective, they will be the primary "antagonists" of this season.  However, don't get it twisted: the Sakalava kingdom and its people were so much more than mere enemies of the Merina.Support the show

Of all seven of the king's children, Ralambo was the only son to survive into adulthood. Emerging into a world through a miraculous birth, Ralambo's rule would be miraculous in its own right. From transforming his country's views on marriage, completely rewriting its system of religious worship, and setting up the foundations of its future class system, Ralambo's rule could be argued to be the true beginning of the Merina Kingdom.Mindful ConsumingConversations that focus on supporting a deeper connection with our spending power.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
