Podcast: President’s ‘Jiggybola’ Promise, Boko Haram’s Prosperity, Unijos Student Kidnapped, Imam’s Death Bounty

In this episode we discuss four pressing issues in Nigeria today. We begin with the president’s viral statement at a state house meeting, promising eyeglasses—‘Jiggybola’—so Nigerians can clearly see his administration’s achievements. Next, we examine a documentary revealing how so-called repentant Boko Haram members in Maiduguri are enjoying surprisingly high living standards. Then we cover the kidnapping of a UNIJOS student. His abductors demand a ₦30 million ransom and insist he renounce his faith to be released alive. Finally, we expose reports of an imam offering ₦2 million to anyone who will behead a pastor for alleged blasphemy. We explore what these developments mean for our security, justice, and religious tolerance.
