Hello Listeners! It’s S2 Episode 16! 

Thank you & Weclome Back!

Today we meet Suni Ali of the Songhai Empire a mighty military man whose story could only be told by our Guest Narrator Njora!

Njora is a good friend of AfriWetu and it is always always such a joy to have him wax lyrical on the pod. Here he does true justice to the great Sunni Ali who set the foundation of what was one of the largest and powerful Empires in the world. One that spanned eight modern day nations, so not a small feat. 

Tune in and remember to follow Njora on his social media handles - Twitter and IG @elsaphan_njora.
