 Now, following outrage generated by Sylvester O'Rourke's death, management of Doreen College commiserated family has led us to the government's sales school. We will be taking a close look at the terrorism financing as Islamic State in West Africa province moves 18 billion-dollar annual revenue through Nigeria's financial system. And as always, we will look at the day list this morning with an analyst to review them. We're glad to have you join us on the breakfast and plus TV Africa. I am Justin Acadone. And I am Mesibopo. It's a beautiful morning and it's good to have you join us. And as always, we will be starting with what's trending on various social media spaces and of course globally and Nigeria is in the news again as well as all their countries. And specifically, let us start with Nigeria being placed by the UK on the red alert list Nigeria among some other countries. You know, since the discovery of the Omicron variant, you know, several countries have placed a travel ban. The US, the UK and some Southeast Asian countries have placed, first of all, it was for South African nations, but now some of them have indeed extended that travel advisory. And right now the UK has placed Nigeria, you know, among the red list countries, specifically even if you have been vaccinated, you know, you cannot be allowed entry into the UK. Well, that is also, you know, code for several reactions because I've seen how a lot of Nigerians and, you know, Africans have reacted to all of this because it feels like it's, you know, a struggle and a fight against Africans. And it's really, really horrible. So that's this comparison that's ongoing. And the question is the fact that, first of all, this virus was dictated from South Africa and we cannot actually say where it originated from. So it's beginning to look like it has to do with some kind of, you know, racial discrimination. It's actually Africa. And because it was dictated in Botswana, that's in South Africa, it kind of feels like there's somebody language, you know, from the Western world, and it's really, really worrisome. And you see, I feel like the entire continent of Africa, we need to really wake up. First, the dependency, you know, rate is so much we're over dependence on the Western world for almost everything. It's really not good, right? So I think that this high time, because if you want to also look at the vaccine up until this moment, we haven't been able as the continent come together to say, yes, we have looked, you know, we've looked inwards and we're able to solve our problems, you know, by ourselves. Quite unfortunate. The Nigerian government has also faulted, you know, that particular report, faulted. It's saying that those who are coming from the United Kingdom, even from the tests and the reports, find it to a lot of people who are coming from the United Kingdom and the ones who, you know, are carriers of this virus. Is the virus into the country? But how come we had to wait up until this moment to speak? Why didn't we speak all the while? So it's really, really unfortunate. But I feel like it's time, you know, that the entire continent, Africa, you know, put the arcs together and ensure that, you know, we get it right completely. Yes, indeed. That's something that we should be worried about and what we should, you know, be trying to avoid. You know, so we don't just look like a push of us for other countries. Also trending, you know, over the weekend, it's been like for a while now, mercy since the death of, you know, service to Romania, there has been so much, you know, outcry, outrage on the social media platforms, you know, there have been reactions, counter-reactions, some people have been calling out different people. But then interestingly, the Lagos State government has sealed the school in as much as the management of, you know, the school has come out, you know, with some sort of statement via Instagram. You know, before now, they actually closed their page, you know, they didn't allow COVID. But now they have issued a statement and are commiserating with the family. From the very first day we sat at this conversation, there was really something very fishy. Let's not forget that you have these institutions and these institutions are supposed to protect the children or protect kids. It's really saddening. I mean, I have not really felt good every other time I get to see, you know, all of the pictures and the videos and comments and reaction. This particular story, it's really traumatizing, very, very sad. But, you know, like I said, from the beginning of everything that has happened, you just totally see negligence on the part of the school. The fact that no one pays attention. I mean, even the fact that the school who settled with the responsibility, you know, to protect this kid or children, not just, you know, the particular kid now, but this children would rather want to conceal the truth. There's a lot that's going on. It's a good thing that, yes, you know, the government has stepped in because from inception, before you have a school that has been, I mean, you don't just wake up and because you have money, you have, you know, you just go ahead and open a school, okay? There are procedures. And then the procedures will include that you will get a license and therefore it means that government is involved. And government cannot be taken out of the equation. But in all of this, this is not the first time we've heard about issue of bullying, molestation, what-have-you harassment, and even that has led to the death of children in different schools. We haven't really seen a proactive action. We haven't seen, you know, an action by government to ensure that all of this actually ends. But it's a good one. Commendable also is the fact that Nigerians are speaking up. I really must applaud, you know, this generation. It's not like, let's hold their hands. It's not my business. It's not my business. Nigerians are speaking up. Everyone is speaking up. And that's how it should be. And I must say, I'm proud to be part of this generation of this life. Yes, indeed, indeed, because most times when things like this happen before, you know, all the social media outcry and social media frenzy, you know, most times this case is actually swept under the carpet and it is really, really something, you know, good to note that Nigerians are indeed speaking out and we know that for certain that this case will not be one of them that was just swept under the carpet. And indeed, hopefully, you know, this family, the late Sylvester Urbanis family would be able to find some sort of closure and maybe justice, you know, if you may. You know, indeed, that's one of the top trending stories. Also, again, if you remember Mercy, you know, in the wake of the sexual allegation scandal at the New Yorker Governor Cuomo, you know, the brother, you know, backed him or gave him some sort of advice. And, you know, just over the weekend, Chris Cuomo, one of the most popular, you know, uncle on CNN's news platform, you know, was sacked by the network. Well, the truth is, we talk about being accomplice. I mean, abating and supporting. And, you know, it's like saying, you do not support this thing. There could be some action that would make you an accomplice. Somewhat, yes. Somewhat an accomplice. And that's why, for instance, I mean, this profession is a very sensitive one. Everyone is suspected that you should live by... Sexual harassment is a serious issue. Let's not even forget that we remember that, you know, Andrew Cuomo and the governor of New York had resigned in August. And the fact that they had to find some, you know, support. Some people are saying blood is thicker than water. The fact that you have support, you know, from family and all of that. But, you know, a lot of persons have actually commended CNN for all that's... All that CNN has actually done. And, you know, it's really commendable. All right, it's still the breakfast and plus TV Africa. Those are, you know, the top trending stories. We'll take a break and we'll be back with more. Do join us again.
