 Are you still watching Waze? Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual holiday observed on March 31 to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of transgender people as well as to raise awareness of the discrimination and violence faced by transgender community worldwide. Transgender Day of Visibility is an important opportunity to celebrate the diversity of gender identities and expression and to promote understanding and acceptance of the transgender community. You see no wonder I've been seeing a lot of posts on trans on my feed you know on Instagram where you just go and explore you just be seeing trans, trans, trans apparently it's this day that is causing it so I saw someone that said I don't want to identify any more as trans as whatever he wants to be identified as invisible so he becomes transparent like there's just so many things that is happening around the community yesterday I was watching I think I shared that video I was watching a video of how I think a man that raped a woman or something I can't remember now what the story was but he raps out there now are they saying they want to put him in a female prison or a male prison you know because now he has now switched to becoming a woman right so where would they put him somebody that was a woman he was a man that raped a woman and now changed himself to become a woman now I'm confused this transgender matter well people identifying as all sorts I think the other day I saw a man who said he was 69 identifying as 49 or something like that look it's a very slippery slope you accept one you accept all and in today's world of inclusion it seems like everybody's everybody's trying to find the politically correct term to accept everybody like I said it really is a slippery slope first and foremost you have people who have real emotional and emotional and psychological issues who obviously don't feel like they fit into the skin or the body that they're in you hear all sorts of stories so at this point you know you want to just say look it's black and white you're born a boy you're born a girl you're a girl but you know you hear some of the stories and clearly there's a problem now whether the answer is to go and change your gender that's between each person and their god but I think that it is when we start to get into the space of inclusion where you can choose to do you you can choose to make the change to you um but when it starts to have a direct impact on what others are then having to consume or to deal with um around it that's when it becomes difficult for people so I think we're in that adjustment phase where this is crazy would you did you see the video I shared about the the school the woman that brought a textbook that was found in a school library that talked that spoke to pedophilia it spoke to what's it called oral sex it's those kind of books right those kind of books are different problems that's not unique to that that's not necessarily a transgender problem I mean the fact but it's also linked to the is linked to the queer community now right and they are all inside that so so these books right I've seen different videos and different types of these books where you know your body and you know all of these things it I mean yes it refers to some gay some you know gender-based issues but it's not based on that do you see what I mean it talks about heterosexual relationships as well that one is a different problem that is just the inappropriateness of what is being um what is being made available to children at what age so that's a different conversation around protecting children and them being kids but when we talk around this transgender problem you know everybody's looking for representation if you look in the media today you watch movie there's hardly a tv show or a movie that you watch now that doesn't you know like really have um one of the representative of the queer community yeah presence right um and for me it's that thing that says you know arts and imitation of life so the fact is there's a proliferation of this um in the world and media simply represents so if you if you think about it I exist as a person in the way that I exist I want to see when I put on my tv I want to see somebody like me on tv that is the nature of entertainment and media and all it's supposed to represent the populace and we can't ignore you know that there has been an explosion in the world of the lgbtq community um and that is where that is coming from where people are essentially trying to give representation so I'm a child at home I have two dads when I put on the tell you I don't want to see just mom like it'll confuse me how I have two dads and everybody else on tv has a mom and a dad and start asking questions so these are the things driving it but I think that we're still in very very uncomfortable places where a lot of places and you know have accepted it and that it's becoming part of the culture where not the world is not quite there yet because obviously some places are more accepting than some um you know if when you talk about Africa a lot of African countries still have laws against um you know the whole lgbtq um you know trans and all of that so there is there is a it's a slow change for the changes happening whether you accept whether we accept it or not or not right absolutely all right so let me quickly run through what did we find in the news um my story is actually interesting because again when people are fasting they would be whether you know should they have sex should they know have sex you know so when I saw this I said okay this was quite interesting and imam at the federal university of a culture beokutam mosque you know had explained that muslim couple can have sexual intercourse during the month of ramadan but only after they have broken their fast and the clerical spoke with some of the correspondents of um punch said that he explained that he was only illegal for married couples to have sex um so he says it allows legally married couple to have intercourse between mowgrib and solatu that is after breaking the fast and after the pre dawn meal during ramadan because again I know that some christians you know these pastors have even spoken about this issue some christians have argued that when you're fasting you should be very holy you should be this you should be that and you know I mean body will be wood you know so I just want to tell anybody out there please don't starve your partner either male or female because you're having sex when you are broken your fast please do the do marry your what's in the news that's very weird but okay how is he weird go ahead um debi do is back on the scene he has released his new album which is timeless and in his interview on friday with bitter fem he said that he still feels them around him speaking about his lost um his loved ones there's a song dedicated on the album which is called legends can never die which is also one of the oldest songs on the lab album and his dedicated to everyone out there who has lost one or two close people he said like over time even everybody knows that I lost my mother at 10 losing my best friend and my bodyguard in one to two years and then losing a child and all that together I don't think the song I don't think the song is really being sad I just feel like since I have lost all of them I don't want to really feel like they have left me spiritually I still I still have them around me a kind of a kind of they were all legends so that's why I say that a legend can never die yeah I think his new album is making a lot of waves ute what did you find so mine is in the world of sustainability so my headline says Nigerians buy one million air conditioners annually and this is by the UN so the United Nations essentially is talking about the heavy reliance and how Nigeria has become one of the top markets for the sale of air conditioners as well as refrigerators and of course I mean we also see what the heat is like and how you know we're largely dependent on these devices however the concern here is with the energy efficiency ratio of course our viewers may know that you know of course first and foremost air conditioners consume a lot of electricity and the fluorocarbons that are used in the refrigerants in our refrigerators also deplete the also deplete the ozone layer so what the UN is essentially trying to say is that look there are standards that have been set globally and as in Nigeria we need to make sure that we're not dumping ground for devices that don't meet the energy the minimum energy efficiency standards of course if you go to buy these devices sometimes you see those ratings ABC color coded ratings around the energy efficiency of the device so it was really just a clarion call at an event um where they were calling on the federal government um around the federal government in response to that was calling on the Nigerians custom service the standard organization of Nigeria to ensure that they are in they are alive to their responsibilities to ensure that there isn't an influx of substandard substandard cooling devices or appliances um that would pose a danger to Nigeria of course if you compare Nigeria to the rest of the or to other parts of the world obviously climate change is a big issue and changes are being made globally around the efficiency of cars we see the proliferation now of electric cars we see bands of sorry yeah all this English is plenty let me tell you let me even if you have look at my old house I have how many air conditioners maybe like 10 only one they come on you understand because when the Nepal bill the power bill will slap you you will you will regulate yourself no but you see the thing about it is that that's always what you know of course in Nigeria our focus is on where it hits us and that really is in our pockets right um which is where I was getting to what I was saying that in other parts of the world where the climate is also a big drive for us you are not switching on your ac if you could afford it people who um can afford it you go to some people's houses their lights are all on their ac's are all on right so the fact is it does have beyond your pocket it has far far reaching consequences for the climate for the ozone layer so the fact is whilst the world is turning around to go into a net zero um on greenhouse gases Nigeria is not I don't even think we're there yet you know like you said this hunger when hunger is between you climate and the rest is not really your problem so the fact is we need to make sure that organizations who are responsible are ensuring that the best type of um equipment is coming into Nigeria because with the global warming Nigeria is only getting hotter well well in fairness to most of the recent brands right the newer brands that are coming into Nigeria I know that most of them you see all those signs you know the whatever free whatever whatever free thing you see it on the on the body of the product telling you that these are safer um what do you call safer equipment or appliances to use well it's a good thing to know you and thank you and Uti thank you for highlighting it we'll take a break now so when we come back from the break we want to discuss um the Chrisland issue stay with us and um link it up to how we can start the business of safety in schools stay with us we'll be right back
