| Sports › World Cup In America by Therising(op): 6:50pm On Jun 15 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b3Srt3KYGA?si=k3uM_pjhUzmlu4fq The World Cup Is Coming Back to America — And I Think This Moment Matters The FIFA World Cup will return to the United States in 2026 for the first time since 1994, but I believe this tournament is about more than football. At a time when the world is dealing with wars, economic uncertainty, and increasing divisions, the World Cup offers a rare opportunity for people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds to come together. As members of the diaspora, many of us understand what it means to carry multiple identities and to be proud of both our roots and where we now call home. I’m especially excited that Africa will send a record number of teams to the tournament. From Nigeria and Ghana to Senegal, Morocco, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast, African football continues to grow and make its mark on the world stage. For one month, the world will come to America. Perhaps it will remind us that our differences don’t have to divide us—they can strengthen us. Which country will you be supporting in 2026? ⚽🌍🇳🇬🇺🇸 |

This episode of Diaspora Dad features a first-generation American father of Urhobo (Delta State) origin sharing real-life experiences on raising children between Nigerian culture and American society. The conversation touches on balancing healthcare careers with family life, passing down respect and values to children raised abroad, early lessons on homeownership, and the realities many diaspora families face when parents grow old and property matters arise back home.

| Politics › Why The US Spoke On Nigerian Crisis by Therising(op): 5:11pm On Nov 24, 2025 |
Nigeria is facing a crisis the world barely talks about — mass violence, extremist attacks, and years of government inaction. For the first time, the U.S. publicly warned Nigeria to protect its Christian population after years of kidnappings, church attacks, and community killings. This isn’t about taking sides. It’s about truth, justice, and the value of human life. Christians and Muslims are BOTH victims — and the diaspora must stay informed, united, and vocal. Full breakdown now on Diaspora Dad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqzFuUAW21I?si=cuhZ9eP2XGqPd6lr |

| Politics › Diaspora Dilemma… Sowore, Kanu, Ekpa, Etc by Therising(op): 7:06pm On Sep 21, 2025 |
The YouTube video “Should the Diaspora Return to Change Their Original Home? | Kanu, Ekpa & Sowore” features a thought-provoking discussion among panelists (including Kanu, Ekpa, and Sowore) who explore whether people in the diaspora should go back to their ancestral/original homelands to effect change. They weigh the pros and cons of returning: the pull of cultural identity and the opportunity to contribute to development vs. challenges like unfamiliar political landscapes, corruption, infrastructure issues, and social reintegration. The conversation also touches on generational differences, responsibility to one’s roots, and how meaningful change can happen either from abroad or from within the country of origin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYaKMXuqwas?si=_usfmceA4Ghzp29m |
