Radio Naija Podcast

This morning a quick introductory interview was scheduled on Radio Naija with Tim Areago, a Dutch parliament candidate of Nigerian and Dutch origin.
He shared his views on some of the topical issues driving this year's election, as well as what he intends to advocate for his migrant relatives.
Tim is vying for the Volt party (#14) and he is number 25 on his party's list.
We wish Tim well!

In this show we will be exploring a question that affects us all, whether we live here in the Netherlands, in Africa or everywhere else across the globe: why do the people who grow our cocoa, coffee, and tea still remain poor — while the final products sell for billions in Europe?
Our guests in the show will be representing the Equal Trade Alliance, an international movement calling for a new way of doing business — one where African farmers and producers don’t just supply raw materials, but share ownership and revenue across the entire value chain.

For the upcoming Dutch parliamentaryelections, we invited candidates of three political parties  to rub minds together on the core election issues; they were the ChristenUnie, DENK, and Ellect parties.
In intention was to give the candidates an opportunity to clarify their party’s stance on various topics, but also for them to do a brief, last-minute pitch to potential voters.
Enjoy the interaction and please share!

On this special programme, we are focusing our attention to the heart of Africa — the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 
For nearly three decades, the DRC has been caught in a cycle of war that has claimed millions of lives, displaced entire communities, and shaken the region. This is not a distant story — it’s a crisis with global implications, touching our economies, our security, and our shared humanity.
In this programme we will be examining the beginnings and the progression of this unfortunate war at the heart of Africa.
 
Our guests are Gaetan Mbwete and Ewing Salumu; both have Congolese origins, live in the Netherlands and actively involved and concerned about DRC affairs.

I found out about the Lemba Jews purely by chance one time while browsing the internet. I was so intrigued by the discovery that I proceeded to read a little but more about them.
Today, however, we will be speaking with a Lemba Jew in person, to learn more about their history, identity and faith. The Lemba people are an African community with a unique and often overlooked
Jewish heritage.
The aim of this talk is to also shed light on their cultural practices, oral traditions, and their connection with their own communities and relation to their broader Jewish and African identities.
Our guest today is Rev. Dr. Thothoma Msizi Dube-Sadiki is a prominent figure within the Lemba Jewish community,
serving in leadership roles and contributing significantly to their cultural and religious life. In addition to his leadership, he is a psychotherapist and system (family) therapist, bringing a comprehensive approach to his work within the community.
Recently, Bishop Dr. MMS Dube was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanitarian Leadership, recognizing his dedication to humanitarian efforts.

In this broadcast we hosted a recently retired GGD (municipal) health officer, who has had a long, diverse and (we think) quite a colourful career with the public health domain. 
We would have him shed some light on his long career journey within the Dutch civil service.
It is hoped that this show would not only give him the chance to look at his career from the "rear view" mirror, but would also give the chance for other to learn from his vast wealth of experience.
This guest is Juan Walter who has worked actively within the migrant community of Amsterdam Southeast.
Enjoy the show!

Parenting over the years have gone through many forms and changes. The way children are raisedtoday is a far cry from the type of upbringing their own parents went through.
What are the reasons for the changing methods and standards in parenting, and how effective are thetechniques used today, with our children?
In fact, there are different “parental” figures and influencers in our children’s lives, besides parents.These include family members such as grandparents, friends, neighbours, schoolteachers and more, and they all play significant roles in how our children are raised.
In this episode, we will be touching on these questions and more.
Our guests:
1. Cécile Winkelman (Project leader, Preventie Ouder Kind Teams (OKT), Amsterdam, 2. Rev. Dr. Msizi Dube, 3. Mr. Emmanuel Nii Tackie
