You find a graph a graphic representation of the transaction that went down and there's also a weekly security review that's so much we can take this morning on the front pages of our dailies has been made available by a paper vendor open up on Kataria. Thank you once again for being with us we appreciate your time. All right let's sort of with the attack on if annual bars convoy I mean the videos are really scary very saddening the pictures that we see there's several reports that you have six persons that have died oddlies and what have you what do you make of this really? Well it is quite sad and quite disheartening I mean the loss of real life should be painful to any human being with conscience. But this is what we've been talking about that the insecurity in this country has assumed a locality dimension. We don't have no seeds of the past we don't know what really happened. This is a geogum sour I mean after years I was by about from the side of how that is a politician is also a businessman so we don't know if it's a result of the deal that has gone sour but don't know that I don't make a thousand important implications why am I saying political implications? I mean the elections are over he went to court and he lost the court but now he's with YPP and is there anybody in YPP that we want to assassinate him? So unless somebody is saying they're scared of this political clout that he was going to win at the general elections well if you consider that you can also not completely rule that with your politics. But right now this will be in the haze to jump into the conclusion because with politics it could be business it could be what what for other it could just be an attack and it's convoy because the perceiving the same as one of those that are instrumental to the pathetic state to find ourselves in this country and what I mean by that is you have the ESN you have the IPOP and you have the main children who should be ESN and these members of this ESN I think they have the animosity for the so-called elites you know so it could be a portmanteau if one cannot so we have to go to wait for the police investigation we hope it's going to be done expeditiously we hope for the police investigation now that police blood are being killed it will spoil, got them on to ensure proper evidence which I'm going to run and expeditiously too after which I think everybody will be free and it will be proper for anybody to start making analysis for now let us wait for the investigation but it is sad sad because lives are lost sad because it underscores the insecurity in this country you can imagine it you having to convoy and probably what must have saved them was because it was in the bulletproof vehicle obviously a treated vehicle so that is probably what would have saved them or something so you can imagine now that it has happened to somebody that highly placed in the society let's see what the federal government will do about in fact all this will make themselves a stimulant in fact all because we have a government that is even sick and tired of the many in office they're talking about the government the man has said it over and over that he cannot permit it to play for interjeet but ordinarily I think you shouldn't have to wait for that if you're you're you don't have that zeal anymore to be the country either because of their business failure or because of the overwhelming issues all this has been done on the to exit to kind of line nobody's going to plug in fact this is very smart I mean it's going to be very like just a wipe off his his mouth is out in the net to get in office so but he doesn't breathe that but that even goes around in the scornings that he should not do because people want him to think of that let him talk of effecting it because they know that they're benefited so it's sad it's a sad development it's enough and we're going to wait for the outcome of the investigation well let's move on to the leadership newspaper this morning it talks about the federal government and ask you heading to court over the asus strike the federal government and sarab heading to court over asus strike that's what it is so you have said and in collaboration with five students from you know various universities who have actually joined forces with sarab including the federal government and they headed to court what do you think of this situation I mean do you think that we should be in court settling all of this no no no the sarab sarab and the five students went to court in support of asus but they didn't get in support of asus but the federal government immediately demanded asus and to honor the negotiations which they have been in which so there are two dimensions why the raw one was the federal government going to court praying the court to compare asus to go back to work all I see is the height of insensitivity there is no compunction on the parts of the federal government what the federal government wants to do is co-house asus without necessary limiting the demand even you have a government that speaks from both sides a warm breath you say you cannot reach the demands of asus you cannot even honor the agreement reached with asus not those demands because they move from demands to agreement what the problem now is the implementation of the agreement that is behind the problem is and you said the federal government doesn't have the money it's so true meanwhile you have the money one three valuations centers workers they want to go astray immediately you reach accommodation with them and you pay because that affects you directly now this doesn't affect you directly because probably how about your chiefs above okay that aside you say you also you've met at least 80 percent of the demands in one breath and another person you don't have the money I mean if you've met 80 percent of the demand you've particularly met all and the asus members will not be that insensitive but because apart from the matter that they are workers it's a passion I don't think any of us in that place happy sitting at home yes a lot of them are being slated slated today for not being in not being sensitive to the plight of the student but I am one of those that will still urge asus even it is going to take four years I've said this on this program and on sister issues even it is going to take four years to achieve your aim go ahead because the moment you call up this try there's been calling us tribes the moment you call up this tribe I tell you and your demands are not met there is that propensity for you to bring back on that strike because the demands are not met and the situations will get worse the situation in this country in every aspect of our life is being exacerbated on daily basis the country where we borrow money to service loan to service debt we borrow now to service debt not because we don't have but because of the characteristic leadership we have in this country so I urge asus not to all those that are saying no call up the strike in the interest of the students we all have kids call up the strike in the interest of the students is misguided emotionalism and I don't think as you should call for that any betters are judges issue once and for all if it means this strike is going to have me the well it's up there so be it and let the incoming government realize the onerous tax on mischievous concerning the education system enough is enough the right industry look even when you're listening to lecturers speak even when you're listening to PhD holders talk who are lecturers in university talk you will win go to court and listen to some lawyers speak you will cry you can imagine a son telling you my lord it is washer you will win so you can imagine the kind of graduates we are turning out on they have to be we initially we said have this this time around they are no longer have dates they are not even part of it they are not baked at all and what are we talking about and you said because they are getting teaching for their rights you're not going to pay them because you sit in the comfort of your office recipient salary you have many comforts that you reduce the number of cars in your comfort what are you doing with all those security money you're supposed to be a servant of the people so who's supposed to kill you go to them down the street that's how the premise that works oh yes you can have security drivers and everything but look at it without filing everything my dear i will call on us to continue with this truck let us address these issues once and for all and this time around they should not go call of the strike based on promises no a certain percentage of the agreement reached must be implemented must be implemented because at the end of the day we are worse off for it you will have doctor okay look at the medical tourism we are talking about is it not a shame how many leaders live their country to Nigeria for medical tourism how many leaders even live their country to other countries how many for medical tourism now after the uh that of education of course you all you all know this is started right from the end of decades ago but there was a gradual decline in the quality of it go to the schools and see what is happening you hear a year three students speaking in this today you with you're not an English student but you with you're not a graduate of them but you with the medical services are so up why because even the lecturers are hungry what do they do is it a sex for max or cash for max that's the truth this son is dying it's an admission in the hospital and his dollar and the student who has no brain comes to say so just watch my business let me go now watch my business and I can sign but there's nothing in my salary but they'll give me that cash and then you when we rush it's done because that's the purpose of his time he's gonna be busy and that one will graduate will also go for his master's go for his doctorate degree will come back to lecture and how did you be if you can't be good what you just have so you see how the situation is the first time if you have okay why are you why are you gonna justify being away from his right to now if you call up the strike and the aim was not achieved how are you going to justify because the aim has nothing to do with how do you justify you're being away from work from several to now how do you justify open up on kitaria exactly if you go back with then you should also not be paid that's the truth then you don't even know you should not be paid so the issue of going to court is completely unnecessary just co-acting nasty I want you to go to the on table you want to achieve what you want to do achieve something to the back there excuse me I'm having terrible cough yes right well I'd like you to help us understand I mean we're talking about our own country Nigeria and we're talking about the educational sector and we understand for those who've actually left the shores of this country and for those who have their children outside the shores of this country for education and we see the infrastructure and the system why is it so difficult for us to make it you know homely for us to make it comfortable what exactly is the issue I mean do we have to go to courts do we have to be dragged do we have to what I've described to us an illicit intercourse between arrogance and power you have first and foremost you have the president that does not appreciate that that's the truth about that's one reason why I don't think you see you can imagine whenever it has to do with the military they approve military they approve look at the soldier and when I say the great the soldier there are soldiers who are well educated that push trying to balance this that ourselves if you it is a shame that you have you say school staff attempt to be a president of the federal public of Nigeria of course that that is on that review it's a shame how do you appreciate education how but where are they going to it was way if you had a school certificate and that's six you see if you saw is that a six foot dog you have so much respect for a standard but not today anymore I'm talking about the date of our parents not today anymore so because about this we have a leader that has got the boxers as stable you have a leader that does not appreciate what education is all about it doesn't have a lot of before him yet there are strikes okay yes how many leaders let us tell you the fact apart from here as well and the good of them how many leaders in the fact they are telling you I'm not talking about their dickie ways I'm not talking about their dickie okay I cannot even compare because then there are those strikes and not then you had to read your hand because you are performing extremely well it was healthy
