On the subject of putting your money where your mouth is, this week, we consider societies where paying for services is commonplace, and why that’s not as common in ours. This episode is the third in our series on payment for intellectual property: books, music, software, and movies. Guest: Pastor Fwangmun Oscar Danladi Guest Host: Dalipa Gwary

Do you pay for the movies you watch, or the books you read, or the music you listen to?

Do you pay for the software you use: things like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, EasyWorship, etc.? Should you pay for them, knowing it's the right thing to do, or has Nigerian culture made us all feel like giving money to big corporations for their services is throwing it away? This is the start of a four-episode series that will run throughout the month of July on piracy and...

What happens when you find yourself with a group of people with values contrary to yours? Do you join them, or do you have other options? YouthVibes this week tackles the human need to fit in, and the Christian command to stand out. Guests: Damilola Ige and Tobi Umar Host: Joy Wazoh

Who bears the burden when a child turns out wayward? Is bad behaviour ingrained in children, or do they pick up bad habits from their environment? Are parents to be blamed when their kids stray from the path they'd hoped/planned for them to take, or is each individual 100% responsible for the way they turn out? Effectively, we ask this week on YouthVibes: nature or nurture, which wins? Join Jo...

Who should foot the bill in a relationship? The guy, the girl? Neither ;) or both? How do we come to those conclusions? What happens when you're dating, and how is it different from when you're courting and when you're actually married? We took a lot of swipes at different groups of people on this week's show. Check it out. Guests: Mrs Dorcas Ishaya and Mr Promise Salawu Guest Host...

This week, we close with what is probably the most foundational to all the spheres of influence. Wars have been fought over it, and entire nations have been transformed on the basis of it. The sphere of Religion predates most of the structures we have today as other spheres of influence - at least in a formal way. This episode considers the subject of organised religion, and the concept of the are...

Confront most young people these days on an aspect of their behaviour and you'll be accused of passing judgment. If we're expected to not judge people when they do the wrong thing, then where does correction play a part? And when we attempt to correct people, what are our motives? What does judgment even mean? This week on YouthVibes, Godfrey Ali has a conversation with Ms Jane Unyo and Mr...

Fashion has evolved, it has become a life style for people even bringing large income to their households. As Christian should we care about the fashion industry; how to dress, what to wear, the color combination? or we just wear clothes however as we go by. By the way we are all going to leave it all behind!!!! Check out the latest episode of YouthVibes. Guests: Mr Jamil Umar and Ms Setitun Salaw...

For many churches, it is taboo to leave your hair uncovered, as a lady, and even worse to cover it as a man. In other congregations, the rules aren't quite as strict. As hair coverings are explicitly covered in Scripture, we go through the subject on this week's episode. Guests: Mrs Sellick Salawu and Ms Persisa Atang. Hosts: Mrs Sarah Onuh and Mr Joshua Agbatse

Justice Okoronkwo, giving an exposition on the subject of Eschatology. More importantly, how it applies to our lives as believers. This is a two-part episode.

Is gambling wrong? For many people, the answer depends on the situation you're in. If you're down to your very last kobo and there's a sure game to bet on with nice odds, do you bet on the game or take your chances at life - in this economy. This week on YouthVibes, the conversation turns to the long view on gambling. What are ways to bank against the risk factors for gambling habits,...

It's hard enough to live as a Christian, but we're called to go the extra mile and work so that the will of God be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Jesus' commission to us is to make disciples of all nations. What does that mean for our work? Our colleagues? How do we live out our faith in a secular world, and what does it mean to view every waking moment as a mission assignment? Gue...
