//The Wire//2300Z May 18, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CRIME AND SHOOTING SPREES RUN RAMPANT IN UNITED STATES. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK REPORTED IN ITALY. WAR IN MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES AS STRIKES REPORTED AT EMIRATI NUCLEAR FACILITY. U.S. STRIKES ISIS LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA. FUEL CRISIS RESULTS IN SHARP INCREASE IN SHIPPING PRICES WORLDWIDE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: The situation remains as before, with most of the focus remaining on the restriction of travel through the Strait of Hormuz. As of this morning, all diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran have failed to open the Strait, and traffic remains stagnant through the waterway. A handful of tankers have transited out of the Strait via the Iranian route, but Project Freedom has not resulted in any western-aligned merchants transiting the Strait since the initial skirmishes on it's first day.Around the region, limited targeting efforts continue to take place. Yesterday, the UAE reported drone strikes at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Al Dhafra. Three drones were detected and two were shot down, but one drone successfully stuck the compound. None of the reactors at the facility were breached, and no release of radiological material was reported.Nigeria: Hostilities have increased sharply over the past few days, with the United States conducting several airstrikes targeting ISIS facilities. President Trump himself announced the completion of a raid targeting Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, a senior commander within the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) insurgent group.Analyst Comment: Prior to a few days ago, the United States was only supporting Nigeria with intelligence and surveillance assets, and not openly engaging in the war themselves, at least as far as the public is concerned. The weekend raid on an ISIS stronghold is a major escalation of US involvement in the war, even though the mission may have initially been to capture al-Minuki.A good bit of reading between the lines is needed (along with a bit of speculation) to interpret what happened, as this announcement is different than other targeting efforts throughout the continent. The wording of all official reports implies that this was a ground operation to capture the leadership who had congregated together inside a compound. At some point, this ground operation transitioned to airstrikes taking out the target, with the High-Value Targets (HVTs) being killed during the strike. Speculating a bit, it's possible that when the ground force experienced significant resistance and everyone scattered from the meeting site on motorcycles, the US bombed the building and got al-Minuki by happenstance. This is a tale as old as time in the targeting world (especially in Africa), and aligns with the previous strikes within Sokoto, which targeted senior ISIS leadership in the same area back in December.Italy: Over the weekend a vehicle ramming attack was reported in Modena, as a terrorist rammed his vehicle into a crowd of people on Via Emilia Centro, a historic street in the center of town. A total of 10x people were wounded during the attack, with 4x victims remaining hospitalized in critical condition. The assailant has been identified as Salim El Koudri, and local authorities have not commented on motive.-HomeFront-Texas: Over the weekend a shooting spree was reported in Austin, as three suspects conducted approximately 12x small arms attacks around the city. The incident began Saturday with the theft of firearms from a local store, and also the theft of a vehicle from an apartment complex in north Austin. From there, the suspects conducted a joyride around the city, shooting at random citizens. One of the first targets was Fire Station 26 on Wentworth Drive, along with Fire Station 32 near Rollingwood. Throughout the city, over 20x different shooting calls were reported, with over 12x different shooting victims resulting from the shooting spree.At some point during the series of attacks from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning, police made the connection that all of these attacks were related and involved the same suspects. A BOLO notice was put out by Austin PD, which was picked up by Manor Police Department, with one patrol officer visually observing the vehicle as the BOLO was put out on the radio. This immediately turned into a pursuit, with the suspects eventually crashing in a muddy field on state road 973, near a residential area in Manor. After the pursuit ended, the occupants of the vehicle scattered, and a large shelter-in-place order was issued while the manhunt was conducted to find the suspects. Two of the suspected shooters were captured immediately, a 17 year old and a 15 year old, both of which have long criminal records. A third suspect remained at large until nightfall, when he was discovered and arrested.California: This afternoon, an active shooter incident was reported at the Islamic Center of San Diego.Analyst Comment: No word yet on casualties or any other details yet as this is a developing situation. However, a media helicopter captured a video of a very clearly deceased individual located at the front entrance to the facility, so at least one person (possibly the shooter) was killed during the attack.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Around the world, fuel prices remain a growing concern. Over the past few days, sharp increases in the price of freight has been observed as the cost of diesel makes it more expensive to move cargo within the homeland. At the national level, the LMI Transportation index indicates that freight costs are the highest in recent memory, with the latest numbers for April being released and confirming what we already know...moving cargo is now extremely expensive.At the more operational level, this sharp increase in shipping costs can be seen with the price of moving a standard Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) shipping container. Before the war began, this container (on average) cost $980 to ship from China, to the Middle East (via the Red Sea route, not through the Strait of Hormuz). Right now, this same container costs about $4,131 to ship along the same route. During the COVID era, the maximum price observed was about $3,900 so as it stands, the oil shock has already impacted shipping costs more than COVID did. These costs are being observed right now within the United States both in terms of goods rising in price, but also availability.Throughout the Middle East, lots of talk continues and there isn't really any indicator for when this crisis might end. This afternoon, President Trump stated that the large-scale bombing of Iran was scheduled to continue tomorrow, but he has decided to hold off on the resumption of the war while a negotiated settlement is allegedly imminent. At the moment, it's not clear as to if this is just diplomatic posturing, or a genuine diplomatic effort. This exact situation was also alleged during the halt to Project Freedom, which stopped after one day due to a settlement that never came. In this case, this could be a negotiating tactic, but overall the war is certainly not over, and the effects of the war (i.e. the global petroleum crisis) remain largely unmitigated.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

For many farmers in Sokoto State, harvest season should bring relief after months of hard work and investment, but a fresh fire outbreak has turned hope into heartbreak.The incident destroyed 2,275 bags of onions worth about ₦56.8 million, adding to similar losses recorded in 2025 and leaving families without income for school fees, food, and debt repayment. Today on Nigeria Daily, we examine the human cost of the fire, why these incidents keep happening, and what it means for the community.

Bienvenue dans Grand reportage, le supplément du samedi pour retrouver deux reportages diffusés cette semaine. Direction le Nigeria, le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique, 220 millions d'habitants, régulièrement sur le devant de l'actualité en raison des violences qui opposent différentes communautés... En 2è partie, la boxe thaï qui trouve des adeptes dans plus d'un pays. Dans son berceau thaïlandais, c'est toute une histoire, toute une culture et les femmes montent maintenant sur le ring. Nigeria : quand l'insécurité devient une affaire américaine Nigeria, dans le nord-ouest, dans la nuit du 25 décembre 2025. Des missiles américains, tirés depuis le golfe de Guinée, frappent par surprise les régions de Sokoto et de Kwara. Les cibles sont mal définies. Des députés américains – relayés par Donald Trump - dénoncent depuis des mois de prétendus « massacres », voire un « génocide » des chrétiens du Nigeria. Sur le terrain, la situation est pourtant beaucoup plus complexe – alors que musulmans et chrétiens subissent au quotidien la violence des groupes armés. Liza Fabbian, envoyée spéciale de RFI, s'est rendue dans l'État de Kaduna, touché comme tant d'autres, par ces troubles endémiques... Un Grand reportage de Liza Fabbian qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Boxe thaï : les femmes à la conquête du ring  « Femmes, ne touchez pas le ring s'il vous plaît »… cette inscription a longtemps figuré devant les cordes du ring d'un des plus grands stades de Bangkok. La boxe thaï, art ancestral thaïlandais, sport de combat, existe depuis des siècles au Royaume de Siam. Elle a très longtemps été réservée aux hommes. Mais, depuis quelques années, les femmes sont de plus en plus nombreuses à se faire une place dans cet art martial qui est aussi une industrie lucrative. Parfois même, de jeunes enfants sont embrigadés. Ce qui soulève bien des interrogations alors que Nations unies et associations alertent sur le danger de cette pratique… Un Grand reportage de Juliette Chaignon qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

We start this episode discussing the latest international and local developments in the last few months. We begin with the massive display of wealth in the midst of growing inequality in the South East by Igbo bigwigs during the festive period. We use this as an entry point to discuss poverty and wealth gaps in Nigeria.We also reflect on what has been taking place in Nigeria namely the airstrike in Sokoto before briefly reacting to Venezuela and the US's strong hand in international geopolitics. We delve extensively into the actions of ADC, LP, APC and Peter Obi. Is any of it worth paying attention to? Or is it all pointless in the context of ideological similarities and the chances of genuine political change. Are they all the same? We do a breakdown of LP situation, the split in SE political elites over Peter Obi and the possible meaning of symbolism of Peter Obi's latest political moves.We then turn our attention to US intervention in Nigeria and Venezuela. Have we entered a new phase of US belligerence? Is this an increase or is it just more available to view? how much are the imperial vulgarities down to Trump as a person versus textbook US foreign policy? Listen and let us know your thoughts.

Sixty years after his assassination, the name of Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, still commands deep respect across Nigeria.From education and governance to unity and institution-building, his generation of leaders laid foundations that continue to shape the country.On Nigeria Daily, we examine why these forefathers remain unforgettable, hear from those who knew them personally, and ask what today's leaders can learn from their legacy.

Right on Radio host Jeff closes out 2025 with a short, fast-paced episode that weaves news clips, commentary, and bold predictions for 2026. After thanking subscribers, Jeff plays a string of clips and uses them to paint a broader picture of geopolitical, financial and cultural shifts he expects in the year ahead. The episode features excerpts and reporting from several on-air sources: Matt Gaetz interviewing journalist Laura Logan about U.S. strikes on ISIS-aligned forces in Nigeria (with particular focus on the strategic and historic significance of Sokoto), a Turning Point USA segment highlighting influencer drama around Cabot Phillips and Charlie Kirk's network, and remarks from treasury/IRS leadership (Scott Bessent/Besant) about the large-scale Somali fraud probe in Minnesota and money flows out of the regulated banking system. Representative Omar, AG Ellison, and a referenced CIA whistleblower interview (Kevin Siff) are also discussed. Jeff contrasts tactical news items with wider analysis, including discussion of competing narratives about Somali money transfers, geopolitical moves such as Israel's recognition of Somaliland, and a surprising archival clip of Prince Charles (1996) reflecting on Islam's historic role in Europe — all presented as pieces of a larger puzzle shaping his predictions. Key themes he raises include: growing exposure of influencers and media figures, internal splits among conservative personalities (Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk and TPUSA dynamics), accountability in government and NGOs, alleged large-scale fraud investigations, and the cultural-religious tensions affecting church unity (NAR, Calvary Chapel and related debates). Jeff lays out his main predictions for 2026: intensified public exposure and legal/accountability actions against prominent figures and institutions; a “soft sell” rollout and greater adoption of an alternative/centralized payment system as a precursor to wider financial change; continuing geopolitical realignments (including speculation about a Trump–Putin rapprochement); the likelihood of purposeful, managed chaos to control news cycles; and the risk of major conflict later in the presidential term. On domestic economics he sketches mixed prospects: policies and tax changes that could materially benefit many middle-class Americans in 2026 (lower drug prices, tax adjustments, tariff/dividend checks), while Commonwealth countries and other nations may face deeper economic pain. He also addresses personal notes — his modest Rumble earnings, the cost of independent broadcasting, and why he continues the show — and urges listeners toward prayer, unity in the body of Christ, and stewardship going into the new year. The episode closes with invitations: participate in corporate prayer gatherings, watch for upcoming projects Jeff teases for 2026, and join a light-hearted New Year's Eve rock-and-roll dance party stream. Overall listeners should expect a blend of curated clips, cultural and spiritual commentary, geopolitical and economic forecasting, and calls to community and prayer.

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.

Just after Christmas, the United States targeted ISIS-linked militants in northwest Nigeria. Coordinated with Abuja, the airstrikes signal a major shift in Nigeria's approach to foreign military involvement. AfricaLink host Chinaza Samuel speaks with DW's Ben Adam Shemang and analyst Zuwaqhu Bonat to unpack what happened, and how this event sets the tone for Nigeria's fight against terror.

L'armée américaine a procédé à des frappes contre des ​combattants ‍du ​groupe État islamique au Nigeria en réponse, selon Donald Trump, d'assassinats de chrétiens dans la région.

//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

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;

Cette nuit, Donald Trump a annoncé des frappes américaines contre des terroristes au Nigéria. Des frappes meurtrières, et plus précisément contre le groupe État islamique dans le nord-ouest du pays, dans l'État de Sokoto. Le gouvernement nigérian a approuvé les frappes et collaboré avec les États-Unis pour les mener à bien. De son côté, le président américain « a promis de nouvelles attaques », relate le journal nigérian, The Guardian qui ne mentionne pas directement le message de Donald Trump publié sur son réseau social où le président s'exprime « à la Trump : Que Dieu bénisse nos militaires et joyeux Noël à tous, y compris aux terroristes morts, dont le nombre ne cessera de croître si leurs massacres de chrétiens se poursuivent. »  « Ces assauts marquent la première intervention militaire américaine dans le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique sous Donald Trump », explique Le Monde. Cette attaque survient alors que le mois dernier Donald Trump a ordonné au ministère de la Défense de se préparer « à une intervention militaire au Nigeria ». Le New York Times revient sur ces menaces qui ont été mises à exécution. Le 1ᵉʳ novembre, le président a annoncé que si le gouvernement nigérian continuait à « permettre le meurtre de chrétiens, les États-Unis cesseraient immédiatement toute aide au Nigeria et pourraient très bien intervenir dans ce pays déshonoré, armes à la main ». « La menace d'intervention militaire proférée par Trump constituait une escalade considérable », commente le journal américain. Tension entre les deux pays Dans les jours qui ont suivi les menaces, plusieurs alliés politiques avaient formulé des accusations similaires comme le sénateur Ted Cruz, au Texas, qui a accusé le Nigeria de « faciliter le massacre » de chrétiens. Des accusations, qui ont déjà été dénoncées par le Nigeria et qui avaient tendu les relations entre les deux pays. Dans un message adressé hier au Washington Post, Daniel Bwala, conseiller du président nigérian, a à nouveau expliqué que son gouvernement « considérait l'accent répété sur les meurtres de chrétiens comme inutile, car premièrement les terroristes ne ciblent aucune religion en particulier et, deuxièmement, la rhétorique en ce sens ne fera qu'alimenter le désir des terroristes de créer une crise encore plus large. » Le quotidien suisse Le Temps rappelle que le Nigeria est divisé de manière à peu près égale entre le sud à majorité chrétienne et le nord à majorité musulmane. « Il est le théâtre de nombreux conflits qui tuent aussi bien des chrétiens que des musulmans, souvent sans distinction. » Interrogée par le Washington Post, une ancienne conseillère du département d'État a qualifié les frappes américaines de « réaction excessive et inefficace ». Selon elle, « il existe très peu de preuves que les frappes aériennes ciblées réduisent l'activité des groupes armés ». La première année de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche a été marquée « par de nombreuses interventions militaires à l'étranger, avec des frappes au Yémen, en Iran, en Syrie et ailleurs, et par un important renforcement militaire dans les Caraïbes visant le Venezuela », rappelle le quotidien britannique The Guardian. À lire aussiLes États-Unis ont mené des frappes au Nigeria contre le groupe État islamique, dit Donald Trump Le Venezuela libère au moins 99 prisonniers politiques Caracas a libéré jeudi au moins 99 prisonniers politiques, dans un contexte de tensions croissantes avec les États-Unis. Les prisonniers libérés étaient incarcérés depuis les élections présidentielles de 2024, précise le journal espagnol El Pais. « C'est la plus importante libération de prisonniers politiques ordonnée par le régime de Nicolás Maduro depuis plusieurs mois. La dernière mesure de clémence accordée à des militants de l'opposition remonte au 13 août ». La plupart des personnes avaient été arrêtées pour avoir participé aux manifestations en août 2024, suite aux élections présidentielles « où Maduro s'est proclamé vainqueur, et où l'opposition et les organisations internationales ont dénoncé des fraudes, déclarant Edmundo González vainqueur ». Ce dernier vit désormais en exil en Espagne, et la principale figure de l'opposition vénézuélienne, María Corina Machado, a récemment reçu le prix Nobel de la paix 2025 à Oslo, en Norvège. Dans le journal vénézuélien El Nacional, les noms d'une trentaine de citoyens libérés ont été publiés. « Le Comité pour la liberté des prisonniers politiques a souligné que "chaque nom libéré de ces centres de détention injustes représente « une victoire pour la vérité et l'espoir" ». Le gouvernement Maduro, quant à lui, assure que le pays est « exempt de prisonniers politiques » et que ceux qui sont qualifiés de tels sont emprisonnés pour avoir commis des « crimes odieux ».

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.

Usman's peaceful life in Gidan Sama was shattered in seconds when an airstrike reduced his home to ashes, leaving 10, including his children, dead and many injured.Was this a tragic mistake, or were these communities wrongly targeted as insurgents?Join us on Nigeria Daily as we uncover Usman's harrowing story, hear from officials, and explore how such a tragedy can be prevented.

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
