    The Kingdoms Europe Forgot | S3 EP1

    Before Europe built castles, Africa built empires. In this episode, I take about the forgotten kingdoms of Mali, Benin, Great Zimbabwe, and Nubia — civilizations of gold, trade, art, and science that flourished long before colonization. From the bronzes of Benin to the manuscripts of Timbuktu, from stone cities to shattered statues, this is a story of memory, erasure, and the truth beneath the dust. The Kingdoms Europe Forgot reminds us that history didn’t start with conquest, it started with creation. Sources & Key Facts Mali Empire Founded by Sundiata Keita in the 13th century. Centered around Timbuktu and Sankore University, a hub of global scholarship. Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca (1324) caused a global gold price drop. Sources: UNESCO, National Geographic, Britannica Kingdom of Benin Flourished from the 11th to 19th centuries in modern Nigeria. Known for its Benin Bronzes, sophisticated metalwork, and complex governance. 1897 Punitive Expedition looted thousands of bronzes now held in Western museums. Sources: Smithsonian Magazine, The British Museum, The Art Newspaper Great Zimbabwe From the Shona phrase “dzimba dza mabwe” — “houses of stone.” Major trade center (11th–15th century) connected to Persia, India, and China. European colonizers denied African authorship for centuries. Sources: UNESCO World Heritage Centre, BBC World Histories Nubia / Kingdom of Kush Located in modern-day Sudan; ruled Egypt as the 25th Dynasty (“Black Pharaohs”). Built more pyramids than Egypt and mastered early iron smelting. Rediscovered by Sudanese archaeologists reclaiming African history. Sources: Smithsonian NMAA, National Geographic History Erasure & Reclamation Colonial scholars redefined African empires as “tribes” or “myths.” Oral histories and modern African archaeology are restoring lost narratives.

    The Price of Our Phones | Special Episode

    The world runs on Congolese minerals: cobalt, coltan, copper, yet the people who dig them out of the earth are living through one of the most devastating and underreported crises on the planet. In this episode, I explore why the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been buried under global silence. From the legacy of colonisation to the modern tech industry’s demand for resources, I trace how a land rich in minerals became a centre of violence, exploitation, and suffering. Millions displaced. Children working in dangerous mines. Entire communities caught between armed groups, corporations, and a world that depends on their labor but rarely speaks their names. As an African, I feel a responsibility to talk about this — because silence protects the systems that harm the most vulnerable.This episode is my attempt to break that silence.

    Reach For The Gold, Drown In The Oil | S2 EP7

    Oil built our world and now it’s burning it. In this episode, I trace how a single resource shaped empires, rewrote borders, and still fuels the wars and illusions of modern civilization. From the first oil well to the towers of Dubai, from the deserts that turned to gold to the climate that’s collapsing beneath it this is the story of The Empire of Oil. The fire we chose to feed.

    The Fire We Built | S2 EP6

    From the first coal mines of Britain to the burning forests of the Amazon, this episode traces how the Industrial Revolution ignited a global addiction — to comfort, to growth, to fire itself. I unpack how empires of industry became empires of carbon, how the Paris Agreement became a promise on paper, and why climate change isn’t a tragedy of nature but a design of civilization. A story of smoke, survival, and the price of progress.

    Comfort Is Killing Us | S2 EP5

    Modern comfort promised us freedom, but it’s quietly destroying our bodies, our environment, and our independence. In this episode, I explore “civilization sickness” : how inactivity, processed food, chemical agriculture, and corporate control have reshaped human health. It’s not just what we eat. It’s what we’ve become.

    Data Is The New Oil | S2 EP4

    Data is the new empire, and we are its subjects. In this episode, I explore how power has shifted from nations to algorithms, how free platforms turn users into products, and how governments and corporations are fighting to control what we see, think, and believe. The battlefield isn’t land anymore, it’s your mind.Instagram: @thelambsaucepod
