The UN Just Voted to Change the World Map — Here's Why
For centuries, the world has been looking at Africa through a map that doesn't show its true size.
Why does Africa appear smaller than it really is? Why can Greenland look almost as large as Africa on some world maps when the reality is dramatically different? And is the map we've grown up with actually misleading us?
In this episode, we investigate the 450-year history behind the world's most familiar map, explore the Mercator projection and the mathematics of map distortion, and reveal just how large Africa really is.
We also examine the recent controversy that brought this issue back into the spotlight, separate fact from viral claims, and explore the alternative maps that offer a very different picture of the world.
Africa isn't small. But why did so many of us grow up seeing it that way?

How Aliko Dangote Became the Richest Man in AFRICA
He turned a loan from his uncle into the largest industrial fortune Africa has ever seen. From trading sugar in the streets of Kano to building a $20 billion refinery that changed the course of an entire nation's economy, Aliko Dangote's journey is one of ambition, risk, and unshakable conviction. In this episode, we trace the story of the man who bet everything on a simple idea: that Africa shouldn't just export raw materials — it should manufacture them. Cement, sugar, fertilizer, fuel — and one audacious dream that nearly broke him. Discover how a soft-spoken trader became Africa's richest man and built an empire that reshaped a continent.
