I think those are the stories we can take a look at with the newspaper today. Thanks again, Mr. Kolowale for Stephen here with us. Yeah, thanks for having me. Okay, so all the papers we've seen so many headlines, but about two or three papers talk about the reaction to the grazing roots for cows that President Mohammed Buhari ordered last week. States are saying it to set the country on fire. Others are saying there are no grazing roots in the estates and dead the federal government to show them where they are. So where do you come in with the story? Yeah, honestly speaking, I will try and marry three of those stories together. They weren't coming from Kuala Lumpur, saying that the democracy is standardized for if not what is impacted today or if not what Nigerian expect. Then I will relate that with the President's speech during this democracy. That's almost a very fundamental pronouncement that he made especially with regard to the grazing roots. He also talked about the security in that speech. They don't mention as a dwarf when I watched the President's speech on television and also read the details in the paper and I've read it more than three times and no other. Only in those adult speech, I was from Nigeria. My ass bled. I felt sorry for the entire 200 million Nigerian people. Because the speech in my humble opinion is actually deletion that it is not a mirror of reality. It's like the President is not in consciousness was what is on Ghana in contemporary Nigeria. Say for example, the grazing roots. Most of the grazing, the gazettes, most of the law on the grazing roots were made by the corona master when they were here. And most of those gazettes actually applied to the northern parts of the country, not to southern Nigeria. And under the time that those laws or those ethics were missed, the population of Nigeria wasn't 200 million. Gazettes are not as close to weight as they're close to there. The population of us mean, it's close to know what it is to be. And besides that, in a land in Nigeria, it's too misguided in the government on that I use decrease. But the President went and said he wants to revive the grazing roots. This on the level was made in the 50s and the 40s by colonial masters and all that. I'm saying, I don't think so. All the land that you find in Nigeria today because of optimization and what are you, have been taken over by optimization. Say for example, from the Paterson Lagos, all the lands on the Paterson Lagos have all been bought. So for the President to be saying that it's possible that he's going to revive the grazing roots and all that, and reclaim those lands from those who have imposed on them, will not make. That is practically impossible. And he doesn't even start the interest of the Pula Niasme. Why do I say so? Most of the kidnaps, as I said, most of the Pula Niasme who have been arrested and all that, their basic complain is that look, you didn't send us to school. The country that we also drive all over the country doesn't belong to us. It is some big man that's fighting our own those cattle. We are many employees of this people. So, the President should be thinking of the sedentary agriculture of ranking in which the Pula people who are serving in the particular place, water, and fodder to feed the animals. So we'll be provided, and then they'll be able to go to school. So that they can end with more than a budget. But the President is not looking at it that way. He's thinking of also revising the grazing roots that were created in the 40s and the 50s when Nigeria's population and desert encroachment and water here has not been like this or has not been as big as this. I know of one of the grazing resorts in Nevada, for example, at the time it was even the federal government that compared it to an aero truck. And when the federal government built a big air force in Nevada, they relocated, and I'm located at the aero truck. I was like, they share the land among the rest. Is that what they're going to reclaim? Or I'm just gonna call it. The second one is that the President is saying that the government is secure their respective states. Is that possible? When the government cannot give another to the Commissioner of Police to do certain things without clearance from the Secretary General of Police? And the Secretary General of Police himself would have to clear from the President and the Commander-in-Chief. And you will recollect, when the attack on goodness is first started, another, the President told Nigeria that he gave the Secretary General of Police another to go to pay me and restore, and restore normalcy in there. The Secretary General of Police, they didn't go to pay me a speech. And nothing left of it was left by Sanjay. Nobody gave up an explanation. Why the Secretary General of Police declined all the views to pay the order of Mr. President? All right, Mr. Kolaoli. If we have left the government in this kind of dilemma, how do you expect them to solve the security challenges in their respective states? All right, can you hold on? And we also know that you can hold on, Mr. Kolaoli. You need to give up your lot of money. Yeah, can you hold on? Yeah. Because of the time that we have left, I want us to also move into other things. This morning, there's kidnapping in Zaria once again. And of course, there's a story on rising food prices. It's on the Tribune this morning. It says food prices soar, push more Nigerians into poverty. Quickly share your views on that one. The President, of course, had stated on his Democracy Day speech that they had lifted 10 million Nigerians out of poverty. But if you look at what the situation is on ground and how much food prices have increased, a lot of Nigerians can't afford the basic food items anymore. Well, one should not be surprised that the criminal state has become the author of kidnapping and insecurity. And I would think, in my own good opinion, that the governor of that station is irresponsible. Go and check the statistics. Since he became governor, the number of people that he has returned, the number of houses that he has left here, he has destroyed, pulled them. And also the salaries of people that are not being paid. When you take a part of their job, when you destroy people's homes and all that, of course, there are children, if you have nothing to eat, and I need to take to banditry. And apart from the issue of banditry, it will tell you as a long term or the other, pay some money to some, this is not ready to pay again. And it says inflammatory things. Take the care of the legal state people. Just when the president came around India, we saw the number of vehicles, we saw shoppers, we saw scooters, we saw AK-47s as the legal state people, securities transform. And both are not going to use to equate the legal police and other security people. We also know that the paychecks are now empty, so this policeman will be able to do the necessary things. They are also insured again. As well as the governor of the Cabinet said later, kind of effort to quiet the insecurity in there. He is capable. With regards to the prices of food items, he shouldn't be surprised there. Just yesterday, a lady friend of mine called me and said, look, he sent somebody to the market to buy pepper. And when the party came back with the $31,000 pepper, when the party came back with the $1,000 pepper and other, you and the OCE was shocked that the amount of pepper that the person brought is equivalent to what they used to buy for $50 in the past. And this is basically because most of the farmers can no longer go to their farm because of insecurity. You remember all those farmers who were slaughtered in cold blood, in porno seeds, and what is furniture they did, they said, look, they didn't take care of them from government before they went to their farm. So when you are nigh and go to our offices to do our work, we need to inform the nearby police, give you, that we want to go to work. It should provide security cover. Is that the way things are done? Furthermore, too many things ought to have been done. All these insurgents started eight days or 10 years ago. One of it, one of the very fundamental, is a war industry. All over the world, any country where there is war, a war industry is just a spring up. But because of corruption, money that we could invest in agriculture in the society and other, we are using to import the K-47, we are using to import bombs, grenades and landmines. When Bukwaram are producing all those insurgents, I am also feeling that the Mose Muto turn into some of these other families around the country and be reconfigured to be producing most of the hands and ammunition that we are using to fight this war. The only thing we should really import today to fight the war against Bukwaram is airplanes and attack helicopters, and the country is bleeding. Put them away when the country's resources is dwindling. When money that we expect is dwindling is dwindling. What most countries used to do, where the leaders are put on their tanking cart in Athens. They would direct their energies into agriculture. Because once you are able to provide food for the people and order, the problem is if it is then solved. Then you cannot begin to address other things. When last, go and see all the agricultural the first institutions. In the past, a percentage of local government in commissivity deported to find cattle, and fed cows, seedlings, and all that, that are given to farmers are very, very cheaply. They hire those cattle to clean their land. You just buy petrol, diesel, to power those cattle. And the local government will send in the land. Mr. Kolawale, apologies. I wanted us to quickly talk about the story. Over the weekend, it was all we could talk about the democracy day celebrations, the June 12th protests. And we know that the protests have been set to continue today in some parts of the country. And Femmi Falano here has been talking about the arrest of protesters, saying it's illegal, and that the police need to apologize to protesters. What do you think about this situation? Oh, absolutely. Femmi Falano is saying the obvious. And remember the case of people here, which platform, for the moment, was run for the presidency, and sector general police. There was a time in which they were arrested and a warrior went to court to challenge the arrest of the police from preventing them from carrying out protests and deposition. And the Court of Appeals, we don't rule that voters and politicians such as we saw this last week, is an in and in agreement with the Fundamental Human Rights, provided for by the United Nations Charter, Africa Charter on People and Human Rights, the Nigerian Constitution. It was Charter on People and Human Rights. But President Buwariyan-Kwaf also uses Charter to their own advantage to demonstrate against President Gulochongata when he was in power. So why is he now on lawful for Nigerians to demonstrate when all the laws are cited clearly that people should be allowed to demonstrate and know at least when they feel a guilt about anything? You know, a decent society, a rational society, a society that doesn't want anarchy, and know that would achieve such, by only putting in the rule of law, free press and also protest and demonstrations. When the street is thinking, you let the government and the people in power know. But here we say protest and agitation are on lawful. So in a way, we are encouraging people to carry weapons, to carry guns, to begin to challenge government programs that is antithetical to their existence. So I agree with Charter Falana and we lawyer, we have already formed a team for all the people that have been detained as soon as they go to the zooms on Tuesday, who will be in proper challenge to be able to show the rest of the position of these people. And we also go to the petitioning the United Nations and the International Criminal Court about the criminal activities of the people in government. So after when they are out of this government, any time they stop at the court, they can be arrested and brought to court. And they kind of send their term to the format chief of air staff, army staff and one of you, in which immediately they retire, they give them a diplomatic passport so that they can be used to arrest them, the staff of the country, who will process and will present after happening. Okay. Okay, Mr. Tunde Calawale, I think here's where we draw the curtains on off the press. Thank you very much for your time and thoughts every time and off the press. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. Okay, so we'll take a break here and we'll return to tell you what happened today. You have a lovely day. Oh yes, bye. We'll return to tell you what happened today in history and we'll talk your business and the economy.
