 నిరాసwnరకిమైయా కిఝినిగా వట్మవటాడిравля మోభత్UCK కోటిస్పి కరిౕలరిత్ worldwide!.. కుఎరి వరడికోగిమితెనాండబలన్ కహాయహస్� aboutsomething ఎమముట్సాన Wow  Alym audas exist to provide checks and balances in the way public officials behave, operate, and how government agencies are managed. Okay, this one, I don't know if this law exist in Nigeria, it's on paper but I don't know. Then let's come to, well, office of the citizen, you know, as an employee works for an employer. So also elected officials work for those who hire them and pay their salaries, citizens. This one definitely doesn't happen in Nigeria. Let's come to how can citizens hold government accountable, understand the roles and responsibilities of each arm of government and how they serve you. That's one. Number two, stay up to date with current events by following reputable news organizations. Number three, support and engage with journalists, activists, legal experts and civil society organizations to monitor government actions and advocate for policy changes. Number four, if you see something, say something, expose corruption, misconduct, embezzlement and nepotism in government wherever you witness it. Number seven, participate in public hearings, Twitter's Macy's community forums and town hall meetings to voice your concerns, propose solutions and demand accountability from elected officials. I mean, all these things, I mean, this is what we are expected to do but I'm not very sure that we are even, we have the, we are able to do any of this. This is very, this is a lot of power to, you know, the citizens and it's interesting that as we progress in this politicity, you know, we begin to understand our own strength and what is expected of us. And I think that if we can do just a fraction of this, honestly, I think it will be a step in the right direction. But again, I mean, this is Nigeria, things are not just, you know, it's not all black and white. I think we can get better the more we educate because now, if you look at it based on what we have said, the most important office is the office of the citizen. True, true, true. But how do you want to report embezzlement when you are the recipient of embezzlement? Don't shake that table, Diora, please. Okay, so following how citizens can hold the government accountable, first things first, know who represents you. Know who represents you, this is very important. You know, we tend to always blame everything on the president, the president, the president, the governor, the governor. Meanwhile, we don't even know who our local representatives are. We don't even know the chairman of our local government. It's very important that you know who represents you. And thankfully, thankful for office of the citizen, there's a chat bot where you can just simply send hello via WhatsApp to 017006381. Hello via WhatsApp to 017006381. So this helps you to know who your governor is, who the senators are, the House of Representative members, your state House of Assembly members, your local government chairman and even the councilors. And most importantly, be an active citizen. So don't just sit back and say also what's the government doing, what's the government doing. You have a role to play like we have said. Just the way employers employ people and the employees are astrable to the employers. That's the same way the government elected officials are astrable to you. You hold a very important office and you have the right to know how your resources are being managed on their behalf. And then you also need to be the change that you want to see. And that starts with being an active citizen. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. So on that note, we're going to be discussing something interesting that we found in the news, the EU report that came out. And that's what we're going to be discussing today. And here's what we found as today's quote in just one month in office. Nigerians are satisfied with the decisive leadership of President Tinnable and the manner he is redirecting the country to the path of fiscal sustainability and social economic reforms. We urge the EU and other foreign interests to be objective in all their assessments of the internal affairs of our country and allow Nigeria to breathe. And it came from the presidency. That's the quote. All right. So standard bearers of the people, democratic parties, right? In the 2023 general elections, Attiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart, Pitalbi, have attacked the presidency for rejecting the European Union final report on the February 25th presidential election. The EU observer mission in a briefing last week pointed to the polls owning to the enduring systemic weaknesses. Now, the presidency, however, rejected these claims. So today we will be discussing the federal government's rejection of the European Union's election final report. And we're asking what's your take on it. But first, let's quickly go on a break. When we come back from that break, we'll see what we found in the news. You are still watching with now international plastic bag three day is celebrated every year on July 3rd. And we have created awareness of the adverse effect of the use of a single plastic bag on the environment. And this day is celebrated to remind communities, organizations and people worldwide to avoid the use of plastic bags in their daily use. Plastic bags take hundreds of years to decompose and endanger wildlife and also increase pollution. So as much as we can, let's avoid the use of plastic bags. Now, a lot of companies are moving to paper bags. Therefore, people that even have those plastic bags, they use the reusable ones so that you just keep on using those ones. I mean, here, they see the answer. I mean, if you go to more developed countries, I mean, like my sister has a permanent carton in her trunk. It was a documentary I watched one time of, I think it was in India, the ocean. Oh my goodness, there were some fishes they saw that had died when they caught them open. You see the stack of plastic inside the stomach of the fish. I said, wow, it's a lot. If you go to these beaches that we have around here at some point, especially during the rainy season, when the ocean has come to the shore like that, you see how dirty it is. And that's because of the way we trust. First of all, we have a very terrible trust system in this country. But then, I believe that. I like those paper bags. I go to restaurants and I order, take out and give me. They are really cute. So I don't know why everybody cannot even start to adopt using those paper bags. Those nylon bags, they are ugly. They are a bit ugly. They are a bit ugly. I mean, they just start selling them so that it would dissuade people from. Right. I mean, if you go out of the country, actually when you go shopping, you have to buy the paper and the nylon bags. So without selling you, they dissuade you from using it. When you know that you have to buy it just to pack your stuff. So like what said, I mean, just having reusable bags and then, you know, finding alternative ways to do that. And again, of course, there has to be a lot of sensitization. I'm not very sure that people know how disastrous it is and how much harm it can cause in the environment. I mean, look at our drainages and all that. You see that plastic, cellophane plates, you know, all these nylon bags and people just trash it on the road. They eat bones. They trash it on the road. Yesterday. Let me help. Yesterday we went to Ojodubega now. So when we were coming back into Lagos because of the traffic, we had to detour through that river valley road. So we now came out that Ojodubega. We are still in Lagos. I say you are in Lagos. We are very much in Lagos. If you see the heap of rubles that like plastic, sachet water, all the peg bottles, like they have dug everything out. If you see the heap on the road, I literally could not believe that. This thing, Ojodubega, that everybody cleaned up. Do you understand? Now the median, right, some of the median that they had put to, so that the people to encourage them to use it, they have removed, no, no, no. This country. Why a special breed? Honestly. Why a special breed? Let's take a walk in the news. Let me come to you, Joela. Okay. So my headline news is, four-year-old dead, four-infected as diphtheria enters Nigeria from New Jane. The Federal Capital Territory Administration has confirmed the outbreak of diphtheria, a deadly disease, now claimed the life of a four-year-old boy out of five reported cases. The Director for FCT Public Health Department, Sandeek Abdul-Raman, who made the declaration Monday and have just said information available to the departments, indicated that the disease was imported from neighboring Niger state, no, sorry, Niger state, you know. He disposed this two weeks ago and alerted the public on the possible outbreak of the disease in Daidai with eight suspected cases reported. This has gone on to, I mean, it's gone on to be tested, the samples for testing at the National Reference Laboratory in Gaduwa, as well as the Nigerian Center for Disease Control. For the purpose of, okay, so before I come to, for the purpose of us who don't know about this disease, it is advised that, I mean, residents should visit the over 400 vaccine outlets across the territory to get vaccinated against the disease. Okay, so I mean, when I saw this, I, for one, have never heard of this word before, so apparently the bacteria is caught by common in contact with droplets from respiratory tract of an infected person, particularly spread by coughing or sneezing. If they, now this, it can also be spread through wounds or lesions from an infected person and there is not much that causes this disease outside of when we, when we have on hygienic practices, we live in very dirty environment and all that, you know, it's a bacteria and the truth is for some people, it resides in their truth, for some people it's on their skin but it is very deadly. However, it can be treated with a vaccine, a vaccine that allows you to deal with this disease as well as tetanus. So it is important that we keep our environment clean, we keep ourselves clean as well, just I don't know if this is as a result of the rainy season or like they said, it is something that would be predominant in the northern area of Nigeria but I mean, this is Nigeria where there is a lot of cross-migration so you just never can tell when it can spread to other parts of the country but we are hopeful that the government stays on top of this thing and they are able to curtail this disease. It is well known. It is well known. It is well known. Alright, so let me come to you. So NYC blames banks for delayed coppers allowance. I know a few coppers and I've been seeing them ranting on Twitter and on their social media. That should be our joy. I'm sure you love it. Okay, so the director for press and public relations relations for NYC, Eddie Megwa in his statements released yesterday in reaction to agitations over the delay has assured the court members that he's interfacing with the banks to fastrack payments. He said the management of NYC is aware of the worries and agitations and that undoubtedly they have completed all arrangements for the payments of the court members allowance since June 27 and remittances were made the same day to the various banks currently and he also enjoyed the court members to remain calm, low-abiding and useful in their respective places of national service as the scheme continues to treat issues relating to their welfare with utmost priority. But my question is so, are you telling me that all the banks decided to have a problem at the same time? Is that what you're saying, Eddie? Anyway, I'm not a copper but I just pray that they get their money soon because I'm sure most of these people are dependent on this scheme that they are getting and transportation is this. So there are some schemes I wanted to scrap in this one. No. 1 My story that I'm about to tell if they can really play this video for like maybe 30 seconds or something just to get a clip of the students then I'll come back to my story. It's a jam for them to place these results and this is what they gave me this is the results here so this is my aggregate 360 so this is exactly how so they now say that I forged my results is what I don't know and I'm traumatized that they accused me of forging my own results because I am not capable of this forging results this is the evidence okay they say that I forged my results they scanned this QR code and it showed another name a Yoruba name so this story I'll tell you that there are some things they need to scrap in this my lifetime jam is one of them first of all I don't believe jam as an exam is a true test of knowledge because the way I can literally do pumping pumping pumping and I will come out with a score there's no how I would score zero if I do that guess what number two jam has made they have come out to say that this girl I think that's her name that she allegedly inflated her result from 249 to 362 in this exams just completed exams parading herself as the top scorer the body also said that one atom gerald in cardinal states also scored 80 for an exam that he never sat he never sat on the he didn't even sit down to write the exam but he scored 380 so in a statement by the spokesperson Dr Fabian Benjamin he said that he found cases of mesoma particularly pathetic as she had allegedly of course would I say got in the sympathy of us respecting members of the public including business man that's Chief Innocent Chukuman who offered 3 million years scholarship while the state's owner was being planned to celebrate her he said the attention of the joint administration board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating setting candidates for being high scorers in the UTME exam the board is constrained to set the record straight and wishes to state or equivoke that many of these results which many of these candidates are parading are fake in many instances some of these candidates had actually obtained far lower scores than they are claiming and had used some of the funny software packages to manipulate their results to receive unsuspecting members of the public so I want to speak to the spokesperson at Jam right? the spokesperson of Jam, Dr. Febian Ben Jam how is it possible that an examination such as Jam can so except you're telling us that your server is compromised but the information you have and a case once are with me the only reason I kept quiet is because you know let's just keep quiet but the truth is right a lot of children saw their results scoring in the 90-something percentile in English sorry in Math, in Chemistry, in Physics only to be scoring 60-something in English it didn't make any sense to all of us as parents right? but so my father just decided let's just shove it aside so if you as a body you were being sincere in lot of these people there was somebody that claimed that he got a very high score right? I was wondering my son's score was higher than him and he was saying that he was the top scorer so a lot of people a lot of people have been parodying a lot of results but you as a body what was the appropriate thing to do were you not supposed to be the one to come out from day one immediately the results came out were you not supposed to publish those scores these are the top 20 scorer there the top 100 scorer now you are saying that and that's why the girl brought out that video saying that these things she went to the score because in turn all you need to do is to send a short code they will send you the result so how did she manipulate the result from 249 to 362 it's not possible and what she did alleged in this video she was saying that if you scan that code she brought out some of the names do you understand so now it tells us that there is something fundamentally wrong with that examination body so Jam tomorrow I will face you people because I want to discuss the matter I am sure that many people would call in to say that the problems that they are experiencing and I think that if you are not competent enough to handle that examination they should scrap it I have never been a fan of Jam I would rather we do wayek and let the universities conduct their entrance examination do you understand because I don't understand why we do multiple exams there is post UTME there is this, there is that Jam I think it is I feel like it is very very compromised it is not the one that they are coming out to say that people are bringing fake results they need to tell us how this guy is able to print that result from their website, from their portal and they are claiming that the result is fake on that note we will continue to use people Jam tomorrow let's take a break stay with us
