 The People's Democratic Party releases timetable for national convention and activities leading up to the big event. An APC's leadership recognizes group campaigning for Vice President Yemi Ushimbajo to run for president in 2023. And this video now widely shared among Nigerians sparks outrage, which should rule modernization or tradition. Welcome to the breakfast on Clause TV Africa for another Monday morning here. I am Osaugi Ogbama. I was expected Monday morning to start up bright and early and of course it would come with some good news. But of course we live in Nigeria so not very many of these times come with great news and that's because of one of the things that we're starting with this morning on off the press or rather on top trending stories. We're starting basically in the Quara state where there has been criticism for video that went viral. There's a couple of angles that I'm going to share with regards to the story. A place called Madrasa. I hope I pronounce it right. It's an Islamic school that teaches the preachings of Prophet Muhammad. And of course this video basically showed exactly what has been going on for a really, really long time in Nigeria. But nobody really spoke about it. I'm sure we can quickly play that clip for you so you can understand what I'm talking about. Yes and this is an example of some of the things that happened that went viral. These persons of course being flogged because they somehow flouted the rules of the Islamic school. They were accused of taking alcohol at a birthday party. They say that they didn't take any alcohol. But of course you know I'm not sure if they did or didn't. What's viral about it is the brutal flogging of these three persons that eventually went viral. The Quara state government has stated that a probe has begun into this incident and the leader of that particular Islamic school has been suspended. I'm not sure if the government can't actually suspend him. But that's what the news is saying for now. And so the different angles to some of all of this is how I've personally always said that religion has really just been a tool of control for mostly the poor and aside it being a tool of control. But it really only affects poor people negatively. I read a story yesterday of a person who said that he had a colleague who had sex with a cousin of his, the daughter of his father's brother. And so when they found out they took the two of them to a part of the village and of course you know the way to of course prevent the wrath of the gods on both families when something like that happened. So when incest happens is to tie both of them in the bush for three days. But you know fortunately for them one of them's father was very very wealthy and so somehow some way they made the gods understand that they don't need to tie them in the bush for three days. They can instead buy two or three cows and put them in the bush for three days. Pay some money here and there and you know those things would eventually be sorted. The gods would understand that these cows would replace the persons who committed the war crimes against their traditions and whatnot. But that's a situation where of course one person is very very wealthy and can bribe the traditions of bribe his way or our way out of whatever religious expectations that there are. And that's why I said you know religion really yes has been a tool of control but sometimes it really only affects the poor people the most. Is it necessary and at this point do we also need to now be able to separate you know some of these tradition and religious practices you know separate them from what the constitution says and what you know our laws as people say and which of them really should supersede each other. Can a person like that really sue for any reason whatsoever. Fiscal abuse you know harm you know bodily harm or whatever it is that the law says where really does the law stand when you know religion has gone beyond you know the lines that it should cross. Those are some of the very very important questions that a lot of people need to start asking and also the power of social media because if this didn't get on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram a lot of people wouldn't even know that this happened there wouldn't be any investigation today and you know these people would have gone home you know to treat their wounds and move on with their lives. But of course there's an investigation by the Kora state government simply because this videos went viral and of course got a lot of people talking about it and so these are some of the things you know that you know need to really really be spoken about. But one final thing that I will say is how Nigerians are so used to abuse that you would still see these same persons continue to attend these schools and continue to be brutalized in this way you know because they believe it's a tradition and of course they should get punished for whatever crimes that they commit and it is you know it is what it is. Nigerians are used to abuse on many many many levels that they have zero idea what their rights are what you know rights they should be always able to to you know fight for. And that's you know some of the things that I will mention abuse from government abuse from the church abuse from the Islamic schools abuse you know from you know in their relationships abuse from successive Nigerian governments and that's why you see it you're going to see some of all these things coming up in the next one year where some of the persons that have abused Nigeria and abused the Nigerian state you know in very corrupt ways have given Nigeria nothing or no level of growth whatsoever. Some of those persons you still see Nigerians campaigning for those same people and ready for another four years of abuse and suffering and whatever it is because Nigerians are used to abuse and the same way you would still see persons supporting you know what happened in that school and say oh well you know it's part of the tradition so it's part of the laws of the school you know and that's you know the punishment when you break or flout some of these rules. It is mind-boggling and I will never be able to wrap my head around how badly bitten the mindset of many not certain many many Nigerians are that there's levels of abuse that they tolerate and they see as normal and you hear it from even the learned you hear it from people who have doctorate degrees people who have master's degrees people who you believe or you would expect should know better they have been abused on that level that they don't even see anything wrong with abuse. We'll follow up on that story and of course if anything new you know comes up from it will definitely be sharing with you here on the breakfast. Also on the top trend in this one we'll move to the southeast now where the IPOB in a statement has announced a ban on what they term Fulani cattle. It was a statement that was released over the weekend by the IPOB's head of directorate of state Masi Chika a dosium. He disclosed this in a statement that you know within the next six months there's going to be a ban on what they term Fulani cattle and the only kind of cattle that would be read in the southeast would be the Igbo cattle. I can't remember the Igbo term for it I don't want to say the wrong thing but it's a term that they call it Igbo cattle. That statement of course also went viral over the weekend with a lot of people you know some agreeing and saying yes you know because according to the statement the Fulani cattle has brought in some of these marauders and people who have you know led to the death and killings and rape of people of the southeast and so in order to stop those persons from coming to the southeast you know they would ban you know also you know the sale of all in quote once again Fulani cattle. I'm not sure how much you know of the Igbo cattle or you know the yeah the Igbo cattle actually exists in the southeast I'm not sure what species of cattle that really is or if you know like some people have said you know the meat is sweeter you know the cows are bigger some of all of that I can't completely verify some of those claims or if it would be you know within you know possibilities that you know in the next six months they will be able to replace the vast majority of cattle in all the cattle markets in the southeast because there's many many of them in the southeast in Igbo in Abai in Anambra many places in the southeast have their own cattle markets that are mostly run by you know people from the north but some other thing is aside those people from the north who run those cattle markets and of course who come and trade their cattle there's also businesses that are you know emanated that of course benefit people of the southeast and so this you know may not just be for the you know cattle herders from the north who would get to suffer some of all these you know new laws or new bands here and there I mean of course they will affect people of the southeast whose businesses have been centered around selling of meat and cattle and whatnot also if there is you know someone from the north who decides okay well since you guys are banning full-handy cattle in the north we're going to ban you know certain items that Igbo's trade in the north then it's it's obviously going to be chaotic across the country and that also may not you know be something that anybody is looking forward to two more things that I would quickly mention is the person Mazi Chikai who has put out this statement who is the directorate of state as it is called for the IPOB I can you know very likely tell you that he you know doesn't also leave in the southeast neither does he leave in Nigeria and the reason I'm pointing that out is because if you remember the southeast governor's not long ago put out some statements and said that most of the people who are giving these laws and these orders and making these statements to control IPOB members in the southeast and let you know have led them to you know commit you know crimes and chaos in the southeast most of the people who give out these orders don't even leave in Nigeria they don't get to suffer the effects of some of these things that they say it's a Monday morning in a group very likely will be shut down today businesses wouldn't open many other parts of the southeast would also be shut down simply because of the same IPOB order that they have in quotes denied and said that they you know have called off but of course it doesn't seem very likely that it you know a lot of people you know believe in those statements and so the Mondays will still be shut off or be closed down the persons who gave these orders for Mondays to be you know sit at home don't leave in Nigeria don't suffer any of the consequences of some of all these things and that includes Chika Edoziyem the person who has now stated that in six months there will be no sale of full any cattle in the southeast final point concerning this issue is the fact that I continue to ask and I've continued to point out the failure and the lack of actual government and respect for government in the southeast for many reasons one of them of course would be because the IPOB has been the creator narrative and so to the people that your governors your political leadership both in national assembly local government level state level house of assembly have all failed they're not there to represent you they're simply there to enrich themselves they've sold that narrative well enough and there's a large number of people who actually believe in it but because well there's many reasons to believe that many opportunities that the political leadership in the southeast should have been able to speak of for the people and failed to do so many times when people have also looked out for you know simple amenities that don't even exist in the southeast and so that you know narrative is easy to sell from the IPOB to the people and you can then say that even those people who aren't necessarily IPOB members or don't even believe in the idea of Biafra would also agree that yes some of their points are valid and so in the lack you know in the space where there's a complete lack of respect for political leadership because of what they've done to themselves I'm talking of political leaders now and the way that they've positioned themselves in the last you know couple of decades when the IPOB then steps into that place and says this is going to be our new law a lot of people would simply comply because they don't expect that the political leadership or the traditional leadership or on as a Nibo anybody will be able to do better or speak on their behalf or you know take the mantle of leadership and actually you know do different and so very very many people do not believe or trust in the political leadership in the southeast and that's why these orders will continue to come they can decide you know anytime any market day that there's no longer going to be sale of onions no longer going to be sale of tomatoes in fact they can decide that you know people should stop eating certain type of soups or certain type of stews um any order that they feel like they can even decide that there'll be no marriage anymore in the southeast and people would say yeah well yes this is what the IPOB has said and we will agree with it even those who do not agree would not want to be caught you know in the violence that you know might be the effects of you know disagreeing or going against the IPOB's orders there needs and there urgently needs to be some level of dialogue with the IPOB and the government and of course I'm talking of the southeast government and the Nigerian government to ensure that some of these madness ends the reason there is there needs to be dialogue because we can no longer and Nigeria can no longer in fact Nigeria should have never really you know pushed aside the idea of the IPOB and what they are fighting for um and acted like they don't matter because obviously they actually do matter um and some of the things that they are saying really creates a huge effect across the southeast and so let's see what the next six months brings if yes you know people would actually stay away from you know binding up from buying you know in code for any cattle if of course some of those markets will be attacked I hope not if the government of the southeast will be able to protect those markets because of the economic value that they also bring to the southeast if the government of the southeast will be able to step in you know and ensure that you know nothing like that actually happens and they protect people from the north who come to do business in the southeast mostly a business of cattle a final top trend in story of course is you know a good one for me uh simply because I expected that this would happen and that is the victory of Tyson fury against Deontay Wada over the weekend um as expected but of course they went you know all 11 rounds it was almost you know a 12 round you know fight they got to the 11th round and Tyson fury eventually came out winner beating Deontay Wada like he stole phone at computer village beating him you know black and blue left and right up and down it was um really interesting and beautiful for me to watch and I'm sure a lot of people across Nigeria who are fans of boxing truly enjoyed this fight it started very very early on Sunday morning and you know was over by the time people woke up to go to church a very very interesting game of game of boxing um that of course produced for the third time Tyson fury as a winner of that trilogy fight um of course and now I've seen a lot of people and a lot of Nigerians advice and Anthony Joshua you know that if he knows what's good for him he should completely stay away from Tyson fury who can continue to bring you know the likes of Samuel Peters and Andy Ruiz and whoever else you know to fight with Joshua but you know nothing nothing to put him in the same ring with Deontay Wada or uh Tyson fury and that's the best advice no matter who was advising Anthony Joshua you know his coach his blah blah blah the pastor at his church anybody who's advising him to completely tell him to stay away from a ring uh that has Tyson fury or Deontay Wada in it and of course I'd also give kudos to Deontay Wada for going all 11 rounds his legs were weak for you know majority of you know that fight he of course you know got burnt out um and eventually lost the fight um and one other thing of course I would mention is one thing that I love about Tyson fury is the energy um that he brings uh the perseverance and of course the things that he says also if you listen to the post match commentary where they both went everywhere he was interviewed he spoke about you know the fact that no matter how many times you you know you get knocked down because it was knocked down twice in the fourth round the matter many times you get knocked down what's most important is that your mind and your body and yourself know that you should always be able to stand up and keep fighting for whatever it is that it is that that you're fighting for remember to always stand up and continue fighting until you get what you want and of course he also finished the game by singing a song in the ring if you remember last year after the fight he did a song by Madonna American Pie this time I'm not sure who did the song you know but the song was titled walking in Vegas he also performed that song right after the fight beautiful from Tyson fury those are our top trending stories this uh Monday morning one all come once again to the breakfast we'll take a short break when we come back off the press comes up next what major stories have made the headlines across the nation this morning we'll be sharing with you
