 Kaduna State Gap and Plans are not a competently tasked for teachers. These have to announce that the smear zone of more than 200 teachers will present in fake certificates. A group of women protest at the home of the deputy governor of Lagos State. They are saying they lost children at the Lecky Toe Plaza on October 20, 2020. Just the papers are in and we'll be reviewing the stories on the front pages. We're glad to have you join us on the final day of the breakfast for this week. I am Justin Akadone. And I am Massey Boko. It's good to have you join us this beautiful Friday morning. Yes, and as usual, we always start with top trending words that Nigerians are talking about. And this morning we'll start off with the Minister of Information and Culture, Lime Mohammed is in the news again. And this time around the federal government is planning on regulating some streaming platforms, specifically that Netflix was mentioned. Massey, I enjoy watching my movies and I can't just enjoy my movies in peace without the much of regulation. I pay for this services. I should be as much as possible enjoy what I'm paying for. I understand the federal government wants to have some sort of control concerning what Nigerians see or what Nigerians listen to or what Nigerians say. But then again, whatever happened to my freedom, I'm trying to come down. It's a fright. So some people would actually say that Niger is actually trying to copy the model that China actually used. But we also need to understand that China operates a close economy. And there's a reason for all of that. And that's because they want to ensure that there's growth and development for them amongst all the stuff. So it's a socialist or communist economy. Now, the point is, I really do not understand where we're driving at and what's really, really going on with the federal government. Now, before you begin to say, okay, yes, you want to regulate XYZ, you want to do this, you want to do that, one is expected to say that the government should have provided the basic necessity. And I'm thinking that the issue of governance and the priority, the essence of being in government has been neglected over the years. And we constantly just pay attention to things that are not very relevant to us. I mean, how does that contribute to growth and development? How does that translate into the standard of living of a people? How does that solve all of the insecurity issues? I just feel like we're just not paying attention to the things that we need to pay attention to. We're just paying attention to things that we don't need to pay attention to. And it just shows a disconnect between the government and the people. So I'm just taking it back with all of the issues that we have in Nigeria, all of the concerns and all of the things that were being plagued with. How come we're concerned about having to regulate Netflix? It is alarming because even the excuse or the reason the federal government gave, although the Minister of Information was represented by someone, that the excuse he gave was that it's just all in a bid to reduce some chaos. Because other streaming platforms became popular last year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdown. And people just had to resort to some other forms of entertainment. The movie, nobody was going to the theater, nobody was going out for leisure and for recreation. So people had to fall back on Netflix and he said that it became so popular and so many people were actually on those platforms and he felt the reason need to regulate it. We've had so much of regulation. No, the point is there's no need to regulate. First of all, the government, the Nigerian government needs to understand that there's no need to regulate Netflix. Netflix is not our problem and can never be a problem in the next 10 years, in the next 20, forever and ever, Netflix. No, you have the issue of people saying that we're marginalized. We're not being carried along. You have the people, you have concerns, you know, of people in the Niger Delta region saying that we have been contributing. Our region has actually served, you know, the country as, you know, the activities as ongoing. You find that the issue of oil exploration and the fact that the region is underdeveloped. You want to talk about the South is the iPop. Those who are saying, oh, we want, you know, a different country. We don't want to become part of the entity. I mean, there are different groups. If you want to look at that, these are some of the issues we should be paying attention to. You look at the Kaduna, Abuja highway, look at the highways that are not very safe anymore for travel and all of that. These are the things we should be looking at. Netflix can never be a problem. It is not Nigerian's problem. It can never be Nigerian's problem. It is a total, you know, embarrassment that the Nigerian government, I say it the way it is. I just wake up and just on the, so what are we regulating Netflix for? Really? Let's look at it. We have issue of insecurity. We have issue of bandits. We have issue of Boko Haram and terrorists. And yet we're saying let's regulate. No, that's not it. That's entirely not it. The issue just shows the disconnect and I'm hoping that we're getting ready for 2023 because you see the Nigerian people, I'm serious. We constantly just talk and talk and complain. But when it gets to the point where we need to begin to show action and show the working, we were nowhere to be found. And until the people understand that power resides with us. Until we understand that we are the only ones that can change this country and that the change that we are looking for, it's not anywhere but it's with us. Until then, we're never going to get it. But like I would say, and I would still say that Netflix is not Niger's problem. It is not a problem. We are gripling with, you know, food inflation and Nigerians are actually paying through the noses to get, you know, food stuff and the price of cooking gas in the markets and nothing to, you know, to battle with. So I don't think we need to worry ourselves concerning Netflix or other streaming platforms. Lasso is in the news this time around that you remember how celebrities, you know, say they will not be joining the Lagos State, you know, healing the land and of course, and peacewalk. But then the Lasso student are in agreement with the Lagos State government as they are in solidarity. We'll take a video of that and we'll come back and talk some more. Stay with us. All right, welcome back. You just watched the Lagos State governor there, Babajdeh Songolu and across sessions. Several Lasso students are all in solidarity. They want to show their support or they have, you know, mentioned that they will support the government or the governor in his peacewalk and he intends to heal the land as it were. Remember, just in the wake of the release of the white paper, the panel that sat on the ends as, you know, killings and leaky shootings and all, you know, the governor did invite some celebrities, Mr. Macaroni falls and, you know, popular lawyer and activist that deliver to me and they have, you know, quickly in a swift reaction, declined, you know, his invitation that they would not, you know, match, you know, or walk with him until they, you know, see justice is done and served to people who actually deserve it. So mercy, the Lasso students are saying that they will join the governor in his, you know, in a move to heal Lagos. First of all, we need to understand that, you know, Lasso, that's the Lagos University. This is a government-owned, it's a state government university. And please just, you know, just think about that. Logically, do the mathematics and do the calculation so anything can happen. But I see that the state governor is putting so much effort. You could see that he is struggling, he's, he's doing too much at the same time, you know, to just, you know, put a particular image and that doesn't really make sense. I could see the struggle from that video. You could see so much energy. Why are you exact in all of that energy? And for what purpose exactly? It just, it shows that this is a disconnect. So there's a disconnect in the sense that you're not even listening, you're not even paying attention to what the people are saying. Let's look at, you know, some of the persons that he openly invited. These are persons that have been very vocal about the protest and were involved about the protest and they have been very consistent. And I say that these men are the heroes. These men are the real deal. And then, like you also want to agree with me that you have these state actors who are leaving non-state actors who are, you know, behaving the way the state actors should behave. But of course, you can never be a judge in your own case. There would always be sentiment. But at the end of the day, these persons that you've called out, you need to also, when I say there's a disconnect, you're not listening. People just look and don't pay attention. So you could just be here and you're not paying attention. And that's exactly what's going on with governance in Nigeria. And we can see that in the case of legal state governor. Why have the people said they don't want to show up for the work? And you're saying you will never walk alone. And then you look for an institution of government again, where government has control. And of course, however, how is that said again? The system and institution where government has control, what do you then expect? You would expect that the student will say, we will, you know, we will say as you do, we will work with you. We will never walk alone. That's exactly what's playing out. So we cannot be carried away by all of that. Now, if government, I mean, this part of thought, if government is being attention to what's being said, then they will listen to, you know, some of the statement that the lights of vows, macaroni, and others have actually said, why, what are they saying? Why are they not coming up for the work? They're saying that there's no way you were going to have peace. Why are you asking for us to have peace? How can there be peace when there's no justice? Now, we've also seen the fact that those some women have actually come out, you know, to cry and say, hey, we lost kids, we lost children. The word is we lost children at the toll gate. And we cannot, you know, act like nothing happened. No, let's take a stroll. Let's, let's, let's walk around the city because that's all we could have just sit on them, just the photo arms and pretend as if nothing of such has happened. Indeed, there are some mothers who allegedly lost their, you know, children in the end as a prodelechi shooting on October 2020. 20, you know, came out to protest and they are making some demand to let's see that video and come back and talk more about it. Oh, you just watched that clip. There are women who allegedly even lost their loved ones last year, last year, and they are just speaking out their heart, praying out their hearts to the state government insisting that there will be no peace walk if the government does not, you know, meet with them and them ensure that justice is served. They said they want to see accountability, which is one of their demands. And they said them, they want the government, the government specifically, you know, to, you know, follow through with the, not tribunal as they mentioned, you know, the panel's, you know, recommendations in the white paper that was presented. Mercy. Indeed, I don't see any reason why we should be talking about peace, peace walk when this one who actually are really feeling all the brunt, you know, are just, you know, they've not even been able to find any sort of closure. They are saying that no one should actually think of a walk here, you know, when they are just languishing and the government is just acting as though nothing really happened. You know, I guess, you know, we had the other time, you know, most of the opinion that the state government should have some sort of a tripartite meeting among them, that Tony General of the state and of course civil society. So all of these issues can actually be talked about, you know, the issues that have been mentioned by the white paper should be discussed and followed through, not just to swipe it under the carpet and just, you know, bring some alternative move over a peace walk. That's only going to happen if those who should, those who are involved in all of this or those who are managing all of this agree. So how do you, can two work together? No, they can't. Now the government is not even believing in the fact that anything really happened. So how is it possible to not have that conversation? It's simple. You look at the reports and some of the things that have been, you know, requested or demanded for, it's not rocket science. I have not seen that anyone can think. Because if you want to say, let's go by the law of Moses, you know, thought for a life for life, life for life, nobody's asking a life for life. People are saying that some people should, you know, resign, should be held accountable so people should answer questions and XYZ. But that's not going to happen or that's not even happening. I don't, I don't, I don't know if that's going to happen. Okay. Well, I really doubt looking at the body language of, you know, the government and those involved, how is that really going to happen? So first of all, it's not possible if the government is not agreeing. That's on the first hand. Now on the second hand, I know that after now I can predict that, you know, the government is going to respond to these women who have actually come that come out, you know, to protest. And this is what's going to be the response. The response would be that, oh, they have been hired by some anti-government elements that want to, you know, destabilize the country and destabilize the states. Dispersions have been hired. But if you pay attention to that video, you need to feel, you would feel the emotion, you will feel the pain, you will feel everything that's going on. Now, the beautiful thing about it is as the day actually, you know, goes by with the fact that we have the white pepper, the spin release. I remember when we had one of our guests on this platform, we're talking about the fact that the truth would never die. So now we're just saying that because there were questions as regards, oh, how come we've not had those who lost their loved ones come out to talk about it? And here we have, we have this women. And so this is just the beginning. This is going to be more, but it just shows you that there's a total disconnection with the ruled and the rulers. Those who are ruling and those, you're not listening. You're not even paying attention to what's going on. And this is really, really bad. It is actually a human right concern. It is actually a human right, you know, issue. And this is the point where we will need, as much as we say, yes, we need to, we're sovereign nation, Nigeria should be able and has a capacity to culture. But this is where human right, you know, the international community will need to have to step in. Of course, we're talking about global peace and prosperity of the entire nation or the world as it were. At this point in time, we're also hoping that the international community will step on because this is totally sad. And every time we get to talk about it, emotions well enough. And I feel like tearing. Yes. Well, it is really, really a very sad, unfortunate term, incident right now. The voice of the people will actually be, you know, what should be paramount at all times. Now, these people are the mandate justices. They just feel that they need to get some sort of closure so they can actually indeed, you know, move on with their lives. It is something really, really, really sad. All right, we'll take a quick break. That's as much as we can take on top trending. In a moment, we'll come back and review the top, you know, headlines on the various pages of the newspapers this morning. We'll have an analyst that, you know, do justice to that in a moment when we return. It's still the breakfast on Klaus TV Africa.
