Authorities in Northeast Nigeria have blamed Boko Haram, among other things, for the geometric rise in the number of children who are at risk of losing their lives to Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM).The malnutrition crisis, which has doubled in scale since 2024, threatens the lives of more than 600,000 children in the next six months alone. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we will try to find out what is driving the crisis, and how authorities are responding.

In this heartwarming episode, we explore the power of children's literature in bridging cultural understanding through conversations with two incredible Asian American authors, Ha Dinh and Yobe Qiu. Ha Dinh takes us on a personal journey with her touching picture book, "The Jade Bracelet," which delves into the complex emotions of a young immigrant navigating cultural identity. Drawing from her own experiences of coming to America at seven years old, Ha shares how a simple jade bracelet from her mother became a powerful symbol of heritage and belonging. Her story resonates with anyone who has ever felt caught between two worlds, offering children a nuanced look at cultural pride and self-acceptance. Meanwhile, Yobe Qiu brings excitement with her groundbreaking book "Asian Adventures A to Z," a comprehensive exploration of Asian cultures that goes far beyond the typical representations. By featuring countries like Cambodia, Mongolia, and Laos, Yobe aims to showcase the incredible diversity within the Asian community and challenge narrow stereotypes. Both authors highlight the critical importance of representation in children's literature. They discuss how books can be powerful tools for understanding, empathy, and connection. Their passionate conversation touches on themes of immigration, cultural pride, and the beautiful complexity of identity in America. The episode is particularly timely, coinciding with Asian American Heritage Month, and offers listeners a chance to learn, grow, and celebrate the rich tapestry of experiences that make up the American story. Whether you're a parent looking to expand your child's worldview, an educator seeking diverse resources, or simply someone who loves powerful storytelling, this episode of Reading with Your Kids offers something special for everyone.

Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has appealed to the Central Bank of Nigeria to extend the January 31 deadline for the phasing out of the old notes. Buni however urged the apex bank to give a special concession and alternatives to Yobe residents for the change of the naira notes. He explained that only four out of the 17 local government areas in the state have banks, making it difficult for people in the remaining 13 local government areas to access banking services. He says CBN should also ensure commercial banks open branches in the local government council headquarters now that there is improved peace and security across the state.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4090160/advertisement

The World Bank has stated that the destruction caused by the Boko Haram sect caused economic activities in the north-eastern part of the country to decline by 50 per cent. The Bank noted that Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states which are in the Lake Chad region saw economic activities decline from 10 to 14 per cent between 2009 and 2013, adding that the region has recorded a 50 per cent decline in activities from 2018. Lead Economist, World Bank and co-author of the report, Mr Marco Hernandez says Boko Haram is not just on those places where insurgency happens, it also affects neighbouring parts for where the actual attack happens as well. The bank called for enhanced trade, improved infrastructure to move people goods and services, improved governance and management of natural resources.

Lead Economist, World Bank and co-author of the report, Mr Marco Hernandez says Boko Haram is not just on those places where insurgency happens, it also affects neighbouring parts for where the actual attack happens as well. The bank called for enhanced trade, improved infrastructure to move people goods and services, improved governance and management of natural resources.

A report by Economic Confidential on annual states viability index 2020 has shown that Lagos, Nigeria's Financial Capital, with a sub-national gross domestic product in excess of $50.83 billion, is the most solvent and viable state in Nigeria year-to-date. For the fifth year running, the littoral state with aquatic resources has led in the Nigerian states' annual viability index. According to the ASVI computation, Lagos, which is by far an industrial behemoth, can pull along successfully without the monthly disbursements from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee. But this is not the case with eight other states: Adamawa, Benue, Jigawa, Katsina, Niger, Taraba, and Yobe, described as economically insolvent and unviable, and cannot survive without the federal monthly envelope, due to their very low IGR accretion compared to their FAAC receipts.

THÉMATIQUE NIGÉRIA Avec Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, directeur de recherche à l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). Spécialiste des problématiques de sécurité, de migration et d'aide humanitaire, il a vécu de nombreuses années au Nigéria et Nicolas Baverez, Béatrice Giblin et Lionel Zinsou. Le Nigéria est un géant anglophone entouré d'États ouest-africains francophones. Il comptait, en 2019, plus de 220 millions d'habitants pour un PIB de près de 450 milliards de dollars selon la Banque mondiale. Il représenteainsi la population la plus importante et la première économie en Afrique tandis que sa capitale, Lagos, est la première ville du continent. Sa population est estimée à 14 millions d'habitants. S'il est la première puissance économique d'Afrique, le Nigéria est aussi le pays qui compte le plus grand nombre de personnes indigentes au monde : 83 millions de personnes vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté, selon le Bureau National des Statistiques. Si les revenus issus du pétrole, dont le Nigéria est le premier exportateur en Afrique, constituent une grande part des recettes budgétaires du pays, le secteur représente peu en termes d'emplois et rend la croissance économique dépendante des cours mondiaux. Pendant la pandémie, ceux-ci se sont effondrés et ont fait reculer le PIB nigérian de 1,8%, faisant entrer le pays dans sa deuxième récession depuis 2016. ​Aujourd'hui, les acteurs économiques et les autorités s'accordent sur la nécessité de diversifier l'économie, notamment au profit des secteurs agricoles et manufacturiers. Ces dernières années, des mesures protectionnistes ont été prises, bannissant notamment les importations de riz pour soutenir la production locale. Selon le Bureau National des Statistiques, un actif sur trois est aujourd'hui sans emploi. En mars dernier, l'inflation a atteint 18%, et 23% pour les produits alimentaires, augmentation qu'explique en partie l'insécurité des régions agricoles : des millions de civils désertent leurs terres pour fuir la menace djihadiste dans le Nord-Est, et les conflits entre agriculteurs et éleveurs font des ravages dans les régions du centre.​ Depuis 2009 et son insurrection armée contre quatre États du Nord (Bauchi, Borno, Yobe et Kano), le groupe jihadiste Boko Haram, continue de sévir au Nigéria, prenant pour cible les militaires et les civils. Depuis 2015, ce groupe s'est installé le long des frontières du Nord Est, autour du lac Tchad.​En avril 2014, l'enlèvement de plus de 270 jeunes filles à Chibok avait suscité un vaste mouvement de solidarité internationale sous le slogan « Bring Back our girls ». Les kidnappings n'ont pas cessé pour autant : en décembre 2020, 344 jeunes garçons de l'école de la ville de Kankara, en février 2021, 317 jeunes filles à Jangebe dans l'État de Zamfara. Ces attentats sont parfois directement revendiqués par Boko Haram, mais peuvent être l'œuvre de groupes criminels désireux d'obtenir rançon.​Au pouvoir depuis 2015 et réélu en 2019, le Président MuhammaduBuhari avait promis de mater l'insurrection et de sécuriser l'État du Nord, mais son gouvernement peine à faire face à l'insécurité tandis que son armée est régulièrement accusée de commettre des exactions contre les populations.​Enfin, le pays est profondément divisé entre le Nord musulman et le Sud chrétien, et les rapports entre la Constitution fédérale et la charia, appliquée dans le nord du pays, pose question.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's voice technology is held back by its inability to understand the deep meaning and emotion of human interactions. On this episode of Spatial Perspectives, Host Dan Cui talked with Ken Sutton, CEO, and Co-Founder, Yobe, Inc, which uses an intelligent approach to a more human voice experience. Yobe elevates voice technology to capture the nuances of everyday communication and unlock the potential of voice for modern brands."Our Solution allows us to, very similar to human hearing, to pull out the perceptual value of what's happening in a human voice," Sutton said.This means lowering the signal-to-noise ratio for many solutions, so from an auditory standpoint, you can hear something. A byproduct of their way of doing things also enhances some of the perceptual data, such as biometrics, location of the voice, or the talker. Their solution is similar to a human, according to Sutton, where a listener would know if a speaker is male or female, child or adult, the intent of the speech such as joking or serious."These are some of the metadata that's captured and locked in the voice signal that we've spent all our career really focusing on," Sutton said. "And using AI and different algorithms to extract that data for whatever purpose you want to use it for, whether it be device command and control or something as simple as you want to hear somebody better on a phone call."Listen to hear more and watch an example of how Yobe's technology works.

After the Chibok schoolgirls abduction in 2014, the Federal Government launched the safer school's initiative to better protect students in school. Despite this laudable achievement, several students have been kidnapped from schools ever since. Many have wondered why the problem persist and why would students be the prime targets. This heightened doubts about the feasibility of the initiative coupled with several allegations that have been made about the management of funds earmarked for the initiative. The safer school initiative had Borno, Adamawa and Yobe as pilot states because of their peculiar security challenges and experiences. Years after, other states such as Kaduna, Niger and Zamfara have had their fair share of insecurity leading to the kidnap of students from schools while Plateau State have also had record of security breach within school community with various sad stories. On this edition of the programme, we shall be gleaning on basic learnings from the safe school initiative that private and community schools can adapt to ensure that schools are kept in the face of increasing insecurity across the country. The initiative has the following practical steps to keep students safe in school; A. School-based interventions B. Community interventions to protect schools; and C. Special measures for at-risk populations. This comes with various effects on education across volatile communities. Consequently, available statistics indicate, nearly 6.3 million or 60% of the 10.5 million Nigerian out of school children live in northern Nigeria where kidnap of students from schools has been more prevalent over the years. There are also huge geographical disparities between the percentage of out of school children in the Northeast, which is 30 times greater than the percentage in the Southeast and 60% of these are girls from Northern Nigeria. In view of all these, what is the impact on education in Northern Nigeria? what is the effect on the turnout of students across volatile areas? What are the likely school based interventions that can be applied to ensure students are kept safe while in school? What are some likely community interventions that can help protect school children? What are the uncertainties of school proprietors and parents / Guardians in this challenging times? What is the way forward? What lessons can be learnt and adapted by school in Jos and environs from these experiences? All these and many more will form the basis of our discussion on today's edition of Building Bridges.

On today's Big Hard Facts: Seven years after Chibok abductions 110 girls taken in Dapchi, Yobe state. 279 girls kidnapped in Jangebe, Zamfara state, in February 2021; all freed, to name a few. Co-Founder, Bring Back Our Girls, Aisha Oyebode, is on Hard Facts with @aghoghooboh

Nigeria on Wednesday recorded 110 new cases of coronavirus but no new deaths for the sixth consecutive day, according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control statistics.The last time the health agency recorded a death was on April 1 when the toll increased by one to 2,058.Wednesday's new cases were reported from 11 states, including Lagos (24), Yobe (24), FCT (16), Bayelsa (10), Rivers (10), Kaduna (10),Nasarawa (5), Akwa Ibom (4), Bauchi (3), Edo (3), and Plateau(1).To date, the country has recorded 163,440 cases of the virus out of which 153,788 have recovered.On Tuesday, the Federal Government took delivery of 100,000 more doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from the Indian government as vaccination efforts continue across the country.Nigeria already launched the vaccination of its citizens with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine it received almost four million doses of through the COVAX facility, a UN backed arrangement.

Yobe Qiu is an author, entrepreneur, and educator. Growing up in NYC, she benefited from the diversity of her community and learned about different cultures. This motivated her to become an educator so she can work closely with students of all backgrounds. After earning her Masters in Education, Yobe founded several private preschool and after-school programs that focus on teaching love, inclusion, and the beauty of diversity. Through working in the classrooms and closely with our teachers, Yobe noticed the lack of multi-cultural resources available for children of color as well as her rich Asian traditions. That is when Yobe decided to create multi-cultural children stories that feature the diversity in the communities she works in.  Today, Yobe has successfully advised dozens of education companies to continue growing education systems that serve all students in America as well as new authors to join her in creating many more stories that feature diverse families. Yobe shares how putting hard work and dedication into her first business venture helped her succeed as an entrepreneur and also boost her confidence along the way.

Since 2009, violent attacks by the militant group Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (commonly known as Boko Haram) has not only disrupted socio-economic and political activities in North East Nigeria but has led to forced displacement, the death and abduction of thousands of people and destruction of livelihoods. This caused a large scale humanitarian crisis in the North East region of Nigeria. Out of the 13 million people living in the states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, 7 million are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. Among them, close to 2 million are internally displaced while close to 1 million are living in areas that are hard to reach by the humanitarian agencies because of insecurity. What the communities in North East Nigeria are demanding is eradication of Boko Haram and an effective response to the humanitarian crisis. After President Muhammadu Buhari assumed power in May 2015, the Nigerian military response recorded some success against the insurgents. For example, most of the territory in North East Nigeria previously under the control of Boko Haram was recaptured by the Nigeria military. Also, the government has succeeded in negotiating the release of some of the kidnapped Dapchi and Chibok girls. This led the government to declare that it had ‘technically won the war’ against the insurgents because Boko Haram could no longer mount ‘conventional attacks’ against government establishment, security forces or civilian population. However, recent activities in the North East indicate that Boko Haram is still active and is proof that the military approach alone cannot tackle the Boko Haram insurgency. While hard-power tactics may have immediate success, it cannot establish strategic long term and sustainable solutions. To achieve sustainable peace, I strongly believe that government and relevant stakeholders should adopt a broad national response that will build effective partnership between the government, the security forces and communities in North East Nigeria. Currently, there is a disconnect and lack of trust between people in North East and the government. Also, current approach by the government fails to recognise the role of relevant stakeholders in the society such as community leaders who play a prominent role in building peace without occupying any formal position. Also, factors that led to the emergence of Boko Haram in the first place need to be addressed. Indeed, President Muhammadu Buhari is under intense pressure to act decisively in order to end the insurgency. Some call for the sacking of the current heads of the security forces. I believe, government should rethink its current military strategies of fighting the insurgency and develop a concerted effort that will address the root causes of the problem.

The World Bank has approved $346m for two projects aimed at strengthening resilience and livelihoods in the Lake Chad region. A statement from the World Bank on Wednesday explained that the projects, to be financed through the International Development Association, would be shared by Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. The Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project for North Eastern Nigeria, Additional Financing will help the Federal Government to improve access to basic services and livelihood opportunities for crisis-affected communities in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. The project will also enhance coordination among the states and other Lake Chad countries. The project, according to the World Bank, expands the ongoing $200m MCRP project and puts an emphasis on support for agricultural livelihoods and investments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of petrol was above N130 per litre in 17 states in April, despite the reduction in the price of petrol to N125 per litre. The pump price of petrol, which is still being regulated by the government, was reduced to N125 per litre from N145 per litre on March 18, 2020 following the sharp drop in global crude oil prices. However, the NBS in its latest PMS report said the average price paid by consumers for a litre of petrol stood at N130.84 in April, down from N145.40 in March. The average price of the product was as high as N140.57 per litre in Jigawa, Borno, and Taraba. Other states where petrol was sold above N130 per litre were Bauchi, Sokoto, Yobe, Kaduna, Katsina, Gombe, Kano and Kogi. The NBS said states with the lowest average price of petrol were Abuja, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Kwara, Oyo, Bayelsa and Enugu. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

Today’s guest on the show is Hamid Nawab, co-founder and Chief Scientist at Yobe Inc. Based in Boston, Yobe are bringing AI into the world of signal processing to introduce intelligent behavior much earlier in the process with “Signal Processing That Thinks.” While processing signals acquired in “noisy scenarios,” this type of advancement in technology enables platforms to accurately separate voices of interest from the background and near-field noise, in essence harnessing the “DNA” of individual voices. This allows Yobe’s technology to improve the overall sound quality and speech command accuracy for far-field applications and speaker identification platforms, which dramatically reduces error rates associated with noisy environments. In this episode, Hamid will tell you about: Yobe’s work with signal processing for speech recognition His research into the problem he was looking to solve The inspiration to set up Yobe Challenges of working with voice recognition technology How Yobe helps make your smart devices smarter Where AI and Machine Learning is heading in the near future

A Hetek mostani számának és podcastunknak is a középpontjában a napjainkban zajló keresztényüldözések kérdései tárgyaljuk. A Hetek Magazinban Gavra Gábor, a Hetek lapszerkesztője beszélget dr. Nagy Teodóra újságíróval. Andrew Brunson a törökországi Izmir presbiteriánus gyülekezetének lelkésze volt 23 éven keresztül. Aasiya Noreen írástudatlan, katolikus, ötgyermekes édesanyaként élt a pakisztáni Pandzsáb tartomány Ittan Wali nevű falujában, ahol muszlim tulajdonosok földjein dolgozott napszámosként. Leah Sharibu az északkelet-nigériai Yobe állam Dapchi nevű városában cseperedett tizenévessé egy elkötelezett evangéliumi keresztény családban. Ők hárman fizikailag és élethelyzetük alapján elképesztő távolságra élnek egymástól. Brunsont a török hatóságok épp a napokban engedték szabadon – hogy miért és hogyan, arról lapunk 2. oldalán olvashatnak részletesen –, ám Aasiya Noreen és Leah Sharibu ma is fogoly. Pedig mindkettejüknek egy szavába került volna, hogy fogvatartóik – a pakisztáni iszlamista rezsim, illetve az Iszlám Államnak felesküdött Boko Haram terrorszervezet – diadalmasan elengedjék őket. Egészen pontosan annyit kellett volna tenniük, hogy Jézus Krisztust megtagadva áttérjenek az iszlámra.A ma már nagymama Aasiya és a tizenéves Leah azonban annak ellenére megtagadták ezt, hogy mindketten közvetlen életveszélyben vannak – sőt Leah esetében csak remélhetjük, hogy egyáltalán életben van. Ez a két bátor hívő, ez a két erős, rettenthetetlen nő példakép minden kereszténynek. Jó lenne, ha példájukból a náluk összehasonlíthatatlanul könynyebb helyzetben is kompromisszumokat kereső, elveiket feladó nyugati keresztények is tanulnának. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Töltsd le beszélgetéseinket mp3-ban a Soundcloudon vagy iTuneson!

Yobe and Sharaza journey to Sanctuary, the island of truth, and discover what it means to be truly honest.

Recently, President Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigerian president, passed the “Not-too-young-to-run Act” into Law, thereby reducing the age qualification for certain elective offices created by the Nigerian constitution. The age qualification for president was reduced from 40 to 35 years. This effort was spearheaded by the wonderful folks at the Not Too Young to Run (NTYTR) Movement.Thanks to the one degree of separation between us, I was able to bring one of those wonderful folks (Mr. Mark Amaza) behind the NTYTR movement on the show. In this episode, Mark and I talked a lot about this campaign and he was gracious enough to answer all the questions I presented before him. As a late bloomer to all things politics, I must say that I learned a lot from this episode and I hope this will be the same for you too.Outro-ish Song: This is Nigeria by Falz; the original song was by Donald Glover aka Childish GambinoFun fact about Mark:He is a certified Bibliophile and one of his many love languages is Amazon Gift cards *hint hint*He has an idyllic memory to recall countries and their capitals.He speaks the Bura language which is spoken mainly in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states in Nigeria. The Bura language is a Chadic language and has been reported to contrast a voiceless palatal lateral fricative, [] (ʎ̥˔), which is quite rare for languages.
