 All right, welcome back. It is the Breakfast and Loss TV Africa. Just before we move on to off the press, just a bit of a retraction. Actually, the ASU strike, it was actually the military men who allegedly disrupt protest and students in Undostra. Let me just give you a complete background of the story. Now, some military men yesterday disrupted the protest and backed up home by joint students of public investors in Undostra over the prolonged strike of the academic staff union of universities, ASU. Now, the angry students started the protest on Monday and barricaded the Acura Elisha Expressway in Acura, the state capital preventing vehicle and movements and course traffic logjam for several hours. So, the right information, it was actually the army and the military who shot at the students and not at the police. So, we move on to off the press. Merci. Well, on off the press, we have Tunde Kuala Wale, who joins the conversation this morning. And Tunde, it's good to have you join us this morning on the breakfast. Thanks for having me. All right. We start off with the Nigerian Tribune. On the Nigerian Tribune, we'll pay attention to the top captions or top story if you like to put. 10 days to presidential primaries, saddened PDP leaders, way fresh option. I like what's going to happen. I mean, it's going to be a lot of drama. That's what I anticipate before we get to the election date. So, a lot will happen. 10 days to presidential primaries, saddened PDP leaders, way fresh options. What could that be? I'm sure you want to find out. You also have presidency to NEF, you wallow in delusional arrogance over Nigerian's existence. That is so much. And Deborah suspects cannot be tried for mere breach of public peace. That's what the NBA is quoted to say. Anyway, from that, you have nine bodies recovered at scene of canoe explosion and gunmen list 10 unimbral local government areas for attack. This is not a threat to national security. This is not a challenge to the chief, chief commander of the Federal Republic. Am I correct? I mean, trying to put me on, because I'm trying to say that whoever is controlling the security architecture, they should be an ambassador. Exactly. Gunmen list 10 unimbral local governments for attack. So much audacity. Convention confusion persists over delegated election as APC inaugurates panel. I am not running to be president. AFDB president Adeshina and 223 US vows to impose visa restriction are promoters of violence. Okay, we've had a lot of that. Stop IPAP from using your platform to incite violence. Federal government tells Facebook. Really? Okay. These are the headlines on the Nigerian Tribune. All right, we'll move away from that to the daily independent. On the lead story, private insurance accounts that risk as NPF mall's insurance outfit. Two riders there, stakeholders say it's unnecessary. It won't be run as a business. May not obey NICOM regulations. One insurance is complex. Most stories on the front page of the daily independent. Gunmen list nine unnumbered council areas for attack. Wow. I won't retire from politics until I'm president. Tinibu, NEMI recovers nine bodies from carnal explosion site. Nigeria requires $11 trillion to close infrastructure gap that's according to experts. NDLEA arrests drug baroness, sales mansion, drug bank or box and worry. Convention PDP and confusion over venue adjust dates of primaries. Governor or Tom, lobbyist Jonathan to attend convention. While Nigerian needs urgent all round resetting by fire me, presidency criticizes now from elders over the visive statement. Deborah NBA condemns killing postponed soquelter conference. FG to Facebook, stop iPop from using your platform to incite violence. Those are all of the stories on the front page of the daily independent. Well, we need to move away from the daily independent newspaper this morning and check out all the papers available to us by the newspaper vendor. You also have the nation. Yeah, the nation underpunch. All right, so on the nation presidential governorship primaries, APC begins process. That's what you find as boldly written. Federal government puts Facebook on the watch over iPops. Wow. But OK, I will leave that to you, fly. Support for separatism are acceptable. And again, you have a motocoon success max restructuring imperative, says Bauchi governor. Away from that, you have delegate selection tomorrow. Governorship candidate shadow poll on Friday. So just chase away protesting students in Akura. And you also have EFCC relocates, arrested accountant general. Why? Maybe to another prison. Maybe to another prison. Maybe to another prison. Why? Maybe his life is on the thread. We don't know how these things work. Nine die. Many injured in canoe gas explosion. Deborah and B.A. shaved Sokoto conference. These are the headlines this morning you find on the nation. And just before we move away, a motocoon success makes restructuring imperative, says Bauchi governor. All right, the last paper we're reviewing this morning is The Punch. The lead story for this morning camp, that's the Christian Association of Niger Plateau. Benway churches adamant insist on Sunday protests. With some writers there, ignore governor's warnings against demonstration. Seek justice for Deborah. No street protests say Plateau, but no government ever fire one's troublemakers. NBA's Lambs-Tamberwall wants a murder charge for suspects. Police advice can. Jet A1 Airlines marketer's 418 NL supply deal crushes. Product sells for 612 NL per liter. Just above the mast head abductees' families vow to stop Abuja-Kadena train resumption. Poli-lacterious plan indefinitely strike from June are Sunox, Wajuba. EFCC arrest X-speaker, Etay, over 240 million NDDC contract. Federal government fails to allocate over 1,300 megawatts lockout looms. Niger's first quarter trade deficit rose by 175% heat, $764 million. That's according to the CBN. Nine killed in Kano, police residents disagree on explosion. NCAA warns pilots, airlines over hazardous weather. Alva dismembers female customer. Police recover body parts. Choose female deputies. I, Shabu Harita's, presidential aspirant. Those are the bulk of the stories under Pan-Chinese paper this morning. Tunde Kola, well, it's good to have you join us this morning on the breakfast. Sorry, Tunde Kola, well, it is legal practitioner. We'd like to share your thoughts on the headlines. I mean, there are a lot of headlines, but I start off with the Nigerian Tribune. Looking at the Nigerian Tribune, 10 days to presidential parameters, certain PDP leaders, way fresh options. What do you make of all of this? What about a few days ago, one of the members of the Board of Trustee of the PDP had raised an alarm that a PDP holding convention, very close to that of the APC, and they're in the same area, at the same town or city. Abuja is not ideal for the party. That was achieved by the church. And he has advised the PDP to move its convention to Lagos, where he said the environment was more conducive, hotel accommodation, not its challenge, and transportation. Easy to access. It is not impossible that it is this alarm that was raised by Tibode George that has now inflamed the condition that he says to now exist in the PDP with regards to the convention that he intends to hold. My take on that is that when you are holding a very rich convention, like that of the PDP or that of the APC and all that, you need to take into consideration the challenges of logistics so as to have an effective convention. It is not too late for the PDP to correct or find solutions to some of the problems that they might be having with regards to this convention and then take appropriate action so that the party can have a very successful convention. Because a lot of Nigerians are looking forward to the PDP and what it is going to do from 2023 election. Without an option to the APC, the country could not stop, America could not be set to move forward politically or to be able to choose where certain candidates and certain persons are filled by the other leading parties and those parties or maybe those candidates haven't made the expectations of Nigeria. It is in our general interest as a people that the PDP is able to get it back together and be able to stand as a credible opportunity for the APC. Alright, let's stay with the Nigerian tribute. Deborah Samuel's death is still making headlines in different angles by the day. But let's take it away the Nigerian Caribbean captions that the NBA is saying that suspects can't be tried for mere breach of public peace. I'm trying to understand all of that. There's an issue of alleged murder here and there are also talks of breach of public peace. I mean, what gives here really, Mr. Kolawale? Well, I have been reading most of the things that have been published on the bullet and the notes that we are getting from Sokoto Street, especially from the government of Sokoto Street, is very, very disconcerting. Before the NBA also took the position. So, what's known is convention. I mean, yeah, what's known is a conference, a tune, coming from the NBA, wasn't reactionary at all. The truth of the matter is that it does appear that the government of Sokoto State is not ready to prosecute those who have been alleged to have killed this young lady. For God's sake, the kind that has been committed with the killing of that lady is murder. And then the decision of her dead body, that is after they've killed the lady, they put gasoline on her and burned her body. We are not supposed to do that in a decent society. But like it has happened in the past, this issue seems to be repeating itself. Go and check your issue, whether it's that of a kaluka, or that of a one lady who was killed, and sometimes a long ago, a teacher in Bouchie who tried to stop some students from kind of cheating in the public exam. And then she was run immediately as head and chief of the black family and set ablaze by our students. None of those black family cases were being killed when prosecutors did the campaign. Too many times, the government to set the people free. The thing for this reason, that the M.D. has lifted the words of wisdom not to be seen, but be kind of uncertain with the government, like that of Zekotok state, that is not ready to do the necessary concerning the death of the innocent child that has been committed. It is just to do the bullet case. They will draw the postponement of the convention to send a proper statement to the Kosoho Koto state government and also to the communities, the religious fundamentalists who have been demonstrating and insisting that those who have been alleged to have committed this crime should be set free. Ironically, you will recollect that there is three boy, young boy who was alleged to have hosted Blasphemous, I think, on his horse hop undo, and then he was completely arrested by the Ishmael. That is the Islamic police in Kano and taking to Sharia court there has been convicted for Blasphemous. I think this case is not before the court of appeal and not that. Government that are eager to arrest people who are set to have committed Blasphemous and then prosecute them will also be the one because those who commit this kind of crime, this egregious kind of killing will have been alleged to commit Blasphemous and then go to court and file a wish you want to complain against those persons. For God's sake, killing of the women, the setting of their body is totally different from that of the subject of public use. The Kosoho state government has been led to do the election with regards to the killing of the women. Secondly, you and I will know that in the northern part of the country they are operating three systems of law. They have the Sharia, they have the Penal Code and then in some parts you have the common law and then criminal code that is applied with regards to crime that are committed on the site. And then in southern Nigeria will use the criminal code and the common law. For God's sake, Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state in which the systems of the different system of law that are doing with the bigger part of the country are not to have a living at all. What about... Jida Johnson, let's move away from that. Nana, look at the daily independent. On the daily independence you have a part of the story that talks about the federal government to Facebook saying, stop iPop from using your platform to incite violence. Do you think that this is rational? Do you also expect this from the federal government? Should the federal government be engaging with Facebook or should the federal government be engaging with these persons who are displeased and who have also put out their consensus regards while they're asking for a federal republic or self-governance? While I do agree that some people are views the social media and their views of the social media is a tragedy. A tragedy in the sense that I consider the social media as a democratizing media. It is a media that has put information, platforms, opportunities in the hands of the ordinary person all over the world. The social media is there for a platform to cherish for people that use it. But inside of that, I'm not too sure that the threat that the federal government is always issuing or dishing to some of the social media like Twitter, like Facebook and what have you. I'm not too sure that it's a purpose to take. When you look at Facebook, for example, it has given us the opportunity to complain, to report, to make an evil block attack possible. Those messages we don't want to see on our platform. Why don't the federal government explore those opportunities for of reporting those who are using the social media whether it's the high platforms or other groups in the city? How does that mission change to them? If after you have reported a report or Facebook that they are using the platform and then the Facebook people, they seem to take whatever necessary in order to have taken any condition threat as the federal government is doing now. So this is like putting the card before the hall. The need for should be done. Take the right steps first and then when you don't get the right results, then you can begin to take some other measures. Furthermore, I want to appeal to all those who are using the social media that we need to be careful not to complain to the hands or those who want to put one form of research or the other. All we want to start is for telling the opportunity that the social media is giving us by posting things that are not really enough to show and posting things that can endanger public peace. Posting things that he says not that the accessibility of them is good but also they are conscious. But when we allow people, when we allow the government to begin to regulate the social media, the opportunity to democratize an opportunity that the media is giving us will be lost. I do not recover the deal for a very, very long time to come. All right, Boris the color. Well, let's take a look at the punch, this paper. I just want you to comment on this particular story. Still on Deborah, you know, Khan, the lead story, Khan, Plato, Benway, churches, Adam and insist on Sunday protest there. Either as much as Plato's state and the governor of Ambronus state, even Elrify have won residence not to embark on street protest. Khan and Plato, and Plato and Benway are insisting they'll protest on Sunday. What are your thoughts? Well, I am in support of the protest. I've only said this once in a thousand and back, that in all decent societies, in all democratic societies, the right to protest God is guaranteed. And here in Nigeria too, the Council of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1919 has amended, and to lead guarantees, the freedom to protest without hindrance in any part of the country. When people are embarking on protest, what they've got made at the state level, whether at the local government level, whether at the federal level, are supposed to do is to provide security for those who are protesting and make sure that the protest is not a charge by Woodlum or is treated by Woodlum. And if you don't allow people to protest, the signal you are sending out is that when you beat a child, the child is not supposed to cry. Whereas in all decent societies, if you don't go to courts to sentiment your grievances, if you don't go to the community level, maybe the other parlours, the churches, they must have water to solve problems, to solve this with our water. One of the other steps, and one of the most, one of the even stronger steps that are even going to court is to go onto the street and let the people, the people in government, who have not done what to expect them to do to know where the truth is sent to you. We must encourage the culture of protest, peaceful protests are not so guaranteed and protests are not a charge by Woodlum when they put them back on them. In the case of ANPT, first of all, the General of Police, the Court of Appeals and Police Act, look, the right of protest is a fundamental human rights. I cannot be taken away from any Nigeria, in any part of the country, no matter what the circumstances are. All right, the Daily Independent, Barisa Kolaoli, let's move to that paper. Just away from the banner headline, there is a story also making headlines there. Dunman lists nine and a number of council areas for attack. This time around, they're actually one in the head of time. Areas either will be attacked in that particular state. What does all of that tell you? Well, what is going on in the thousands today, and it tells me a lot. One is not happy with what is going on in there. Whether there's a government, whether there's a hip-hop, or any of the other splinter goods. The truth of the matter is that the properties that have been destroyed may look like nearly ordinary and government properties, or public properties. But when you look critically about those, I mean with regard to those infrastructures, you will find out that those infrastructures are designed to serve the general public. And when infrastructures are designed to serve the general public, and you are destroying them, what you are doing is creating hardship for your people. So if you say you are struggling for the independence of your people, for them to have life more abandoned, for them not to serve any deprivation, whether political, economical, social, cultural, and knowledge, then you don't start destroying the infrastructure upon which a society is built. You don't start weakening yourself. You don't start weakening the people store goods you have put on your head. I mean, you say you are fighting off. Because the infrastructure in the south is like a self, it's like somebody costing his own nose in order to spite, to spite it. And that doesn't augure where and it will not even, in the long run, promote the cost for which either I form, master, or any of these other self-determination groups are fighting off. So I appeal to whoever may be behind, if you social public, if I'm social in the south, so please think deeply about the consequences of those actions and not to stop it from it. Like I said, on one of these platforms, I wish to learn from the example of Matt Magandy, I wish to learn from the example of Matt Eluda King, that it is possible to achieve independence. It is possible to achieve that determination. It is possible to set our people free by using the victim of non-violence to achieve our goals. But Tunde Kola Walei, if you also, I mean, talking about not using violence and following the patterns of all the persons who have actually fought for self-determination and self-governance, the AIPOP leader, I mean, as has been believed, Kanu, Namdi Kanu, has also said that those who are perpetrating this evil are masquerading. I'm fascinating AIPOP and I'm carrying out all of this violence and all. What do you have to say about this? Because it's been made to believe that AIPOP is responsible for the violence that's been experienced in the south, eastern part of Nigeria, but you have a disclaimer that has been put out prior to this time. Well, it's an unfortunate and a very tragic. As you think, it was the way AIPOP became its campaign, especially when it started having the eastern Nigeria security network, and cases were being attacked, and some other places for public cases being put down. The signal and the messages I was getting from AIPOP at that time, gave people the impression that AIPOP was the only one who said, activities are not allowed. For the truth of the matter, since AIPOP came into existence, some other groups have also emerged in the south, and far before AIPOP, we had masks on. And some other groups all over the city, all of them via tourist security, independent for the people of south, eastern Nigeria. Well, you should also know that certain persons also engage in this criminal activity, not just in the south, but also in the south way, and also in the north, in another part of the country. Of course, we will render as violent that the so-called pandit and speaking of Northern Nigeria is there. You also know at the time, certain tribes were set to be engaging in kidnapping and tapping wrestling, also in the south ways of Nigeria in India. Violent decades of violence. And a society that wants to develop, that wants to know people, that wants to go, that wants to stop the problem of unemployment, shouldn't engage whatsoever in the distortion of public disruptions. Because public disruptions is the foundation of a really striking place. And I will also appeal to the federal government to look into the case of metanamecano and resolve it politically. The metanamecano's case is not the case of the result of any court. It's a political case which the court has no business meddling with. If we are able to unravel, if we are able to solve, if we are able to address the problem of metanamecano, and some of the fundamental issues that are being raised by IPOC, and some of these other assets with a major goal all over Nigeria, I am sure the country will be on the path to make it to a case. All right, thank you. Thank you very much. And don't be shocked at the thinking. Thank you so much for your thoughts, Tunde Kola, our legal practitioner. Thanks for joining us on Off the Press this morning. Thank you all very much. All right, so that's the size of this particular segment. We will take a break, but not before telling you what happened on this day in history. We'll come back in a first conversation for the day. We'll join us again.
