 Now that the fuel soft city has been removed federal government grants six firms through the license to import petroleum products Also federal government implements the 7.5% VAT on the diesel will be discussing all of these on the program this morning also will have Of the press that will be looking at what the headlines are on our national dailies Very good morning to you, and thanks for joining us on the breakfast My name is Nyam Ghul Aghaji and on behalf of the entire crew I say it's a delight to have you join us this morning today. We'll be concentrating or we'll be reflecting on Collective good over personal benefit. How much of these do we even think about in Nigeria? How much do we talk about collective good? How much do we talk about community nowadays? Is it only the selfish? Thoughts that we have now think about yourself love yourself Nobody talks about loving your neighbor anymore And so it has become a part of our culture right now that we talk about ourselves only Are we a nation of people willing to sacrifice personal comfort for the greater good? How patriotic are we? That's why that's what we'll be reflecting on in the course of the show this morning So wherever you are whoever you are as you watch us this morning Ask yourself what like an American president once said think of what you can do for America Rather than what America can do for you So how many of us really think about what we can do for Nigeria to make Nigeria great rather than what Nigeria can Do for us the other day we saw the news how someone was vandalizing Rail tracks. He didn't care if the federal government spent money to do that He didn't care if a rail or a train will derail when it gets to that point where he's removing those Things from the rail track. He didn't care if anybody died because of his action He just wanted to make money and that's the end of it So even if stealing is stealing sometimes when you steal It's some people who will say there's some stealing that has a human face. This one is wickedness Stupidity if I if I may and so many other things ruled into one How can you vandalize what the government has put in place for you and tomorrow you go about telling people that the government Is not doing much. Well, wherever you are. We hope that you are open about and you are at your work and because We already know that any time past six o'clock traffic builds up as I was coming this morning Once I got to Ogudu from from beggar axes the traffic began to build up Only got knows where it has reached now and how slow the traffic might be when you're coming to the island and This same story will be replicated in so many other places So if you live in Lagos and you have to work in the morning, you need to always move very very early in the morning Okay, so we have some few stories that people are talking about Not necessarily Having to wait till when we have the of the press But there's some top trending issues that are being dealt with or are being discussed Over social media and so many other places or so many other platforms the Lagos state government clamps down on alcohol sale at motor parks Okay, so so many people are just asking the question. How long will this Stand because this law or these Talk about Clamping down on the sale of alcohol at motor parks. It's not new. It's been there and Since they said it we have not seen any Implementation or any drive or any any Clamping down as it were on the people who sell these things now the questions that question I don't know if the government has asked itself is Why do these people even drink at the motor parks? What is the reason behind who are the people who drink? Why do they drink and who are the people who drink at the motor parks because I? As a person I won't go to the motor park and take alcohol take what about it do What they take there and the government is talking about it But now this the third question is When you ask the first question, why do they drink second question who drinks it in the first place? And the third question is that are you? By clamping down does it mean that people who work at the motor parks will not drink anymore? It's just like saying okay since this is a motor park do not drink in the mood at the motor park I just drink at home So you find a situation where drivers might get drunk at home before they get to the motor parks on all that So I don't know some people say people drink so much at the motor park because a lot of them sleep there And even a lot of them sleep there in the cold and all that and that's the only way that they used to warm them So that's the excuse they give then What can you do about people who sleep at the motor park? Can you make conditions so good that people will not need to sleep at the motor parks anymore? Or can you make the condition so stringent that people cannot sleep at the motor parks anymore? Well, these are questions you need to answer, but will it work? Only Okada so far has worked and it works seasonally whenever it's time for election at least the time for campaign Okada's were moving, you know, almost freely, but right now the clamping down has has returned to how it used to be Okay, so it's good. So maybe they will take it gradually But who is going to enforce this law? Is it going to be Kai they kick against in discipline that we have? Or is it going to be the motor park tells themselves that are going to do this or they are their leadership or who is going to do this? Some people that is their business. So where are you moving them to are you moving them close to motor parks? Because if they don't sell at the motor parks, then I just go close to the motor parks But they are not really at the motor parks and the people who so who patronize them will continue to patronize them So in the fact if the state government can do this They should not only clamp down, but they should also look at reasons why people drink in the first place and who the type of people who drink are and see if they can clear the motor parks of These people if you can clear the motor parks of these people probably they wouldn't be drinking anymore because a passenger Just passing through doesn't go there to think about drinking is the people who work there And what is what are the crop of people that work at the motor parks? Look at them if the reason the drink is something that you can address then you go ahead and address it Well, one step at a time if the government can do this good for all of us So that we don't find people who drink too much at the motor parks Okay Tinibu appoints Hakim Odumosu as chairman of EFCC if this news is true Tinibu appoints Hakim Odumosu as chairman of EFCC we heard over the weekend how Everybody was talking about the fact that service chiefs have been have been removed all of them except Very few or even just one of them the DSS Head was not removed. What everybody else was removed and replaced. So now Hakim Odumosu that used to be in Lagos here as the The head of the the cops here in Lagos has been appointed as the chairman of EFCC We do hope that axing all of these people out of office will bring the needed Change that we want in Nigeria that we need in Nigeria because it's not enough to remove one person and put another person if all they will do will be the same thing as the The people who have been removed were doing we do hope that Body language action everything that the present administration is doing will help people sit up and do their duties very well So now we have a new EFCC Chairman we have a new IGP we have a new Chief of Defense staff everybody is new apart from the DSS boss So we do hope they will sit up that is our prayer because nothing else matters If they will not sit up to do the work for which they have been appointed to do Nigerians are Really tired of doing the same thing all the time. I like to say all the time If you want a different a different result You may want to change the approach towards tackling any problem at all Because if you keep doing the same thing all the time you will still keep getting the same results So let's hope that Hakim Odmosu will bring that needed Breath of fresh air to EFCC and make sure Anybody that needs to be propped will be propped and anybody who needs to be prosecuted will be prosecuted Anybody who needs to be jailed will be jailed that will not only be his his duty But the judiciary will have to sit up as well and collaborate with all these people that have been changed So that work will go on Nigerians will know that they're having value for their money They're having value for whatever they're putting back into the society because today. We're looking at Collective good over personal benefit and we're also Looking at whether our nation is patriotic enough the people are willing to sacrifice personal comfort for the greater good So if people are willing to sacrifice personal comfort for greater good Will the greater good come in the first place? for instance if someone comes to me a politician comes to me and says I'm going to give you five million Naira so that you keep your mouth shut and the road that is supposed to be constructed to your community Will not be Constructed I say no you have to Construct this road and then I miss the five million and then the government still does not construct the road I have lost the five million I have lost the road the community suffers for it And everybody is still suffering so If people sacrifice what will the government do to make sure that their sacrifice means something to the government as well Because if you say you want to lead It means that you have accepted Discomfort you have accepted to be in public glare you have accepted public scrutiny You have accepted a lot of things you move out of your comfort zone because you are a servant That's what the leaders really are leaders are Servants leaders are servants in case you didn't hear that So if you're vying for a political post if you're vying for even a Position in your place of work that you will lead the rest It means that you are ready to serve everybody else and for the people who are being served It means that you will be appreciative of the service that you are getting so that you do your beat to make sure that Person do not lose sight of what he's supposed to do At the end of the day we find out that so many things that happen to us in Nigeria is because of ourselves We are the ones who who cross our hands and call their bones of this world and say ah You're too much because the person is buying us a drink the question is giving us some money to go and marry a second Wife the person is giving us something to start a business on our own We're forgetting collective good for getting the schools that some people need to go to if they cannot send their children to private schools Where so we are forgetting the roads that they need to be that need to be constructed so that the average farmer that we may not have this Opportunity to get to a politician that will give him or her That money that he needs to do what he needs to do can pass and go to the market and sell their goods We're forgetting electricity that should go to every community So that at least they can check their phones at least they can power their generators Sorry, not generator at least they can they can do the the things that they need to do small businesses in the village that need Electricity maybe selling of pure water as we call it in Nigeria. Maybe selling of Fish that needs to be refrigerated Maybe selling of some other things that need electricity. We forget all of that and say we need our personal comfort That is where we get wrong in Nigeria. Sometimes when we say politicians think about personal interests Oh, yeah, personal interest and that personal interest is usually At the cost of what the nation should gain whatever will bring money to you Whatever will put food on your table. You get it no matter what it is Well, let us know today that the end does not justify the means the end Never justifies the means the means has to be as good as the end You cannot say I will have to kill all my children so that I become rich So you tell yourself that because you eventually got rich The means you got you took to becoming rich is justified by the fact that you actually became rich That's what saying the end justifies the means Means Literally, so the end just does not justify the means if the end and the means are not the same You go and okay, let me know use that analogy anyway today. We're talking about Petroticism and we do hope that you are a patriotic Nigerian or if you're not you begin to cultivate the Habit of being patriotic in yourself in your children if you're a teacher in your students if you are CEO in one company or the other or Any way any capacity you find yourself be patriotic and teach others to be patriotic Because that is only when we can make our nation grow if you're patriotic You will ask the right questions if you're patriotic You will do the things that you need to do as a person But for now, let's look at what the weather is because when I was coming I'll use myself as an example of to a greater length of the road that I was coming to this place It was dry, but I got to like third mainland bridge and it was raining heavily So let's see what the weather says about today so that you can plan your itinerary well
