History is not merely academic; it's our shared story, vital for the youth who will shape tomorrow. It offers lessons from past triumphs and errors, urging us to embrace unity over division. Inspirational leaders like Gandhi, Mandela, and King Jr. exemplify this, advocating peace despite our differences. Ultimately, history's true value lies in learning from it to foster a future of harmony and understanding, not in lingering over past grievances. In this era of unprecedented connectivity, history's lessons are more accessible and relevant than ever for us all. Biringkpa Obinna Emeka.

WHAT HAS IRELAND GOT TO DO WITH NIGERIA? Trauma, Colonialism, and the World on Our Screens | Ep. 92

In this episode, we draw unexpected lines between Ireland and Nigeria — from colonial legacies to the traumas passed down through language, famine, and fate. Sparked by reflections after attending a lecture by Dr. Gabor Maté on trauma, we unpack how modern media shapes our sense of global crises, from Gaza to Ukraine, and why love, humanity, and hope remain urgent in a fractured world.Stay connected and never miss an episode.
