 Alright, thanks for staying with us. Now, if you are African American National Black, HIV AIDS Awareness Day is for you. And this day offers the latest updates on fight against the infection and the disease. The MBHA a day occurs every Friday and February at 7th with inspirational stories of survivors, suggestions on how to make healthier, more positive lifestyle choices and details on the latest innovation in education and treatment. And this day speaks to the resilient spirit of of strength, faith and hope in the black community. So this is actually specifically for people in the black community living with HIV or AIDS. You know how it's so interesting that I just see people still just go around doing all sorts of things unprotected and I'm wondering it's like it's like you will don't forget see HIV no get cure. I mean there was another I think I saw recently was it last week I failed was it called another failed drug cure for HIV. I read it somewhere I can't remember where I saw it but they've been people have been trying and trying and trying to see if they can get you know a permanent cure for AIDS. So I mean the best you can do I would say for raising awareness remember the rules you know because that time we were always very careful and conscious but now we still see people sharing clippers, still see people practicing on healthy safe I mean on healthy sex life where you're just sleeping around with everybody they still see people you know ladies the salon going to you know using sharp objects and all of that. So it's a very scary thing but hey what help us. People still do blood work. And so people even do drugs and they share the range. Terrible. Terrible practice. Alright so who are we starting with? Mary let me start with you. Minister of Works and Housing Babatini Fashella has said that he himself does not have cash and I'm just wondering because I came on air as well to say that we're going to a cashless society but it seems like even the government is not ready for this cashless society. So I mean clearly there's something wrong and we need help. This time it's an opportunity for everybody to say they don't have cash. We know that's a lie because something happened to me today when I was trying to put my tire. I only had my last 1000. I'll be saving that money. I had to give it to the boy. Thankfully he had it 200 Naira new notes. He said he had new notes and old notes but the change he gave me was 200 Naira new notes, 500 Naira old notes and the 100 Naira. So I said you don't have 500 Naira new notes. He said madam it's 1000 Naira new notes. Like what you just gave me is what I have. So I said if you give me one five I'll give you 1000. I said eh. I don't want to talk to you especially. I had to leave my money because he didn't have any. He only had 500 Naira and I had only 1000 Naira. It's very painful. So what you can do? You just book it. No no you book. It's true now. What I had planned was if you didn't have change I'll just tell him that you book now. We'll come back. Four more visits and my money so it's like a pain in advance. I will not leave my money with you now. Okay you see we're getting innovative right. Wow. No you have to. If not you will probably lose all your cash. Yes you will. Go out and buy something and you don't have because the 500 Naira new notes and the 200 Naira new notes are quite scarce. So mostly what you will see will be the 1000 and then you give someone 1000 and maybe what you're buying is like maybe 800. There's 200. Guy tells you I don't have change. That thing is always annoying. I'm like. That's what I do transfer. I would normally leave that but now that there's no cash I won't mind. I will not normally leave anything. Give me back my change please because if I gave you money short of your 200 Naira will you accept it? No they won't. So it's a very horrible experience that we practice in this country. Jennifer your story. Canadian male visits and commends Nigerian producing a Gege bread in Canada. Very inspirational. We should clap for that guy. I saw that video. Very very beautiful. So a Nigerian man Olawale Oladapo who resides in Canada has become very popular for setting up a bakery that produces delicious a Gege bread. So he moved to Canada in 2016 and started the bakery in 2018. Now because of the impact that he has made in his community the mayor decided to pay him a visit and we're seeing how different TikTokers or TikTok influencers are posting videos about his bread and commenting him and telling him that he's doing an amazing job. So they're basically influencing for him as well and telling people that it is important that he eats a Gege bread. That's good. What makes a Gege bread? Is there something special? I think there's a special way that the mixture happens. It's not your typical posh, it's all the milk and all. There's a mixture for a Gege texture and I think he got it right. So that mixture is not too much because that's why it's actually affordable. It's not too much. If they start to put all the milk and all those your flavors and whatever it becomes expensive. A Gege bread has a special mix and once you get it I'm very proud of the guy because it's going round. I mean the mayor was very proud. I mean if they had shown the video with the audio he said a lot of things and the plan is and what the Nigerian actually said they said that particular state in Canada they were also very very receptive and they really really helped you know his business. They were they were open to an entrepreneur coming in to grow and that's where you see government comes in in everything. So it's not just to say he is of doing business for people and mouths. You know this guy actually went there and now he's delivering bread to almost the whole of Canada. So the the mayor was even saying that they look forward to him exporting even out of Canada. Do you understand? This is a country that is ready for you to grow in their country. And with the mayor doing that and paying him a visit and then making the video it's like making him more popular which of course will increase sales, increase revenue, no big expansion. Who would not be happy to live in such a community or a country? Absolutely absolutely and this is what when we say government is ready for the people. This is what we mean. Ready to support the people? Absolutely. So my story is a bit, the heading says that pays 80,000 dollars to become genderless dragon. So this story is a story about a 61 year old father who no longer talks to his son because he became the first genderless dragon and he uses pronouns like day and dem. So the former he used to be a banker. He covered his body in tattoos and piercings in a bid to become the world's first genderless dragon and is speaking out about the dramatic body transformation. And for me this is a quite a transformation indeed because I can imagine why you would want to go down in the World Guinness Book of Records for the first genderless dragon. What is the motive behind it? And this is, you're doing it at 61. He has lived his life. Yes. Why not then when he did 12 years ago? And before he became a banker. So I guess at this point he has maybe planning on retire or has retired and was just wondering what else he can do to either be famous or to have his name down somewhere for something that no one else could. What crisis do we call this? Is this midlife? No, he has passed his midlife. After life. It's quite fun and I can understand why well if my dad was to do that at this age I would also just I don't know what kind of reaction I would have why he would. My father has he has mental stability. This is coming from what I think that at some point in time you think that there's a mental problem here or what is it the attention you would almost want to find out that is that is it the attention is it that we don't come home enough you just want to you you want you want attention from somewhere else you know social media and for me I feel like this is one of the effects of social media. Social media is is creating and you know cultivating a kind of lifestyle that sometimes because he's a youtuber so he's trying to get more views so everybody would do anything it now begs to question how far people would go just to be popular or to be seen as you know that's very disgusting it's it's quite an artistic transformation they use the word metamorphosis. I tried to picture myself in in there like what part of their growing up would have you see the stories that they read like that would just you just think that you know what I think I can become a dragon one day. Then just be gentle as in at least me I aspire to you know own things be lifestyle but I don't understand you know how. I guess people just want to make names for themselves in different ways there has been he, her, and I say they, them, hey. But he's actually for me I think the the truth is for me these things when I see I just see somebody that is very unstable on the inside right that's that's what I call it because I don't know how to define what what I just saw right this is no issue of special special is different this one you have serious volcano erupting inside on your inside yes and you don't even know who you are because I don't get it. I mean the people that you know you want to claim fame they don't even do tattoos on their body not to talk of was it not Kim Kardashian that said putting a tattoo on her body is like putting a bumper sticker on a Bethlehem you know to be honest because she understands that you know whatever it is she has you know come and you would all over your body change yourself to a creature I think he's just going through this there's something wrong on the inside very very clearly wrong I don't know what else to explain okay so there was supposed to be a meeting between president Muhammad Buhari with the state governors you know under the apc that was cancelled the presidency source had said that this meeting was a call because of the nationwide crisis trailing the the central bank of Nigeria's new note policy right so all the governors that were elected under the old progressive congress you know had appealed to him to give I mean to that appeal for a meeting or something so he then appealed to Nigeria's to give them seven days so that they could resolve the crisis for that meeting now that was supposed to come they were supposed to come together and bring like solutions or whatever like put her together to find a way forward was cancelled so on that you didn't see why it was any particular reason tell me why you it's just after the seven within the seven days that the president asked Nigerians to be patient while he has these discussions with him so but he had a brief meeting behind closed those with the chairman of Nigerian governors forum that's him I mean the town wall of Sokoto and the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum that's Abu Bakr Bogud of Kevin and the central bank of Nigeria got me me fairly and the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that's Abdul Rashid Bauer so hopefully let's see what that closed-door meeting would bring out on that note let's go on the break when we come back from the break we want to discuss our bankers stay with us over right back
