My weekend was busy I was trying to just do some repair works in the house so had artisans and trying to also clear out stuff i think for me i'm on the nasa made fun of me and send me a meme sometime last week about people who have a lot of stuff so i was trying to actually leave me alone i'm already on the minimalist kick where i'm trying to clear out my house and give away so much baby stuff and kid stuff and also i think i spent time this weekend trying to sort a lot of those things and so i mean tell people to watch my whatsapp stories i'm going to start putting up things for giving away as much as i'm coming back we don't give out a long time we go you know the good thing about me is first of all i bought really expensive things with my first son so um of course the younger brother used it then you know when my sister said they're having good enough they were boys so it was just like oh yeah passed it down she has even passed it down too i don't know if actually shipped it down to either bini or buja to some family because they are that quality where you buy quality things yeah i i get you is hard to let it go yeah i'm not really be sure that you can give so all the baby stuff because i did the same thing as well but you know you when you're having a first child you don't actually think about this you know i keep telling people i think i i bought one of the most expensive breast pumps and i don't think i use that thing twice or three times like it was the my normally annoying so i just i literally gave it away but i over time you know some things you just want to be sure that the people you are giving it to will take care of it so i have overtime but even still i think naturally if you're a bulk buyer like me um you just find that eventually you will have like two of things or three of things and you've gone past that point where you know you know these things again um and even for certain things i think it's i'm i've found it hard to apply that if you haven't used it in six months then but so i'm trying to do that now oh no i don't know really i hate plotters like literally if i have something that i've been looking at it last year two years i've not used it i would pack it out and one give you a benevolence yeah so i'm so i'm having this again the good thing with my own church is that if you give it to benevolence you are very sure it will be for you so i put all those things in fact when my boys came back home this holiday they actually cleared out their closets you know because almost everything they've all outgrown them and you know again with them we buy very because of the difficult to get their things so usually their things come in really expensive so they just packed everything to church and they donated it to benevolence so i think it's good for you to just declutter and again i always believe in that principle when you let go more suppose just hoarding all right so one of the responsibilities of lawmakers is to pass the country and state annual budget regrettably transparency and accountability concerns have continuously plagued this particular arm of government so tonight in conjunction with enough is enough we'll be focusing on holding the legislature accountable this how much they give this later again please now tell me why you laughing how much they give them don't call me yeah all right our circumstances of national and them says oh god of creation direct our noble cause guide our leaders right help our youth the truth to know so one of the responsibility that i've mentioned is this transparency so um june 2020 2023 that's for decades people of no sorry let me give you just let's let's quickly run down that's a long story it says join community development advocacy or civil society organizations focusing on specific issues you can pressure elected representatives and senators to address pressing concerns by mobilizing grassroots support and by encouraging others to hold your representatives accountable actively so suppose you believe that a law or legislative decision is unconstitutional in that case you can engage your community or advocacy group to challenge its validity so how do we get to these communities i think that would be the question let me come to you diola okay so also talking about the national assembly i think it's important that people know that there are 360 members and that's the number of members very per state depending on population and land mass we have the most in karno and legas which with 24 representatives each and then the least is nasa rawa and bayosa with five representatives each and then the fct has two members also the number of members very per state sorry fct currently has no seats um okay i think this is a bit of a mistake but let me um take that again the most states with the members would be karno and legas with 40 members each and then the least with um taraba yubes and fire play two nasa rawa quara eboi edo enogo gumbi aba bayosa and cross river with 24 members each at the local government council you have well counselors don't pass laws but they regulate the affairs of the local government and the functions of legislature let me just quickly read that senators members of the house of representatives and state houses of assembly members have five primary functions pass the state or nations annual budget make laws to promote peace order and good governance overseas projects appropriated for implementation by the executive arm represent the constituent and consent to high level appointments which is just the the yeah which only the senators can do so how do we hold our legislators account table i think that's which is part now abhi because i'm confused yeah i think that was what i read yeah that was what we were so um yeah so how to hold your um legislators accountable so it says join a local community development groups to pressure your representatives to address issues that affect you um follow the activities of your representatives for example the implementation of constituency projects um also you can recall a corrupt representative or vote them out during the next elections so in doing all of this first and foremost you need to know who represents you you can find the details of your representatives and communicate with them regularly um via the office of the citizen chatbot which is your new um assistant on civic engagement there you can find the details of your governors senators house of rep members state house of assembly members local government chairman and counselors to get started uh send a hello via whatsapp to 017006381 so send hello via whatsapp to 017006381 um it talks about a bit more and holding your legislators accountable it says writes to request an explanation about a bill under consideration or request audience for dialogue and in conclusion it says holding your representatives in the legislature accountable will safeguard our democracy by combating corruption and promoting effective governance so some interesting angles there perhaps a bit more information needed on how people can actually find and join these local community groups and you know a bit more information about how to follow the activities of course the media the news information like that is out there for you to follow their activities okay so today we want to discuss our ministerial list we've been holding off on that um especially the female representation and here's what we found as today's quote women have always had had to be creative about making limited resources work to sustain themselves and their families they understand what it means to make the hard decisions and to get to just get on with it that is why it is imperative for women not just to be the ones dusting off the tables but crafting its leg for our world to stand on this is from sandra sea lay now while some african countries are making giant strides in women's political representation others like nigeria have achieved very little progress so last week president bola amer to nambu represented or rather presented his ministerial list to the senate with 25 percent women representation 10 percent points short of his promise action planned to allow at least 35 percent participation of women in government positions as contained in his manifesto renewed hope 2023 so today we'll be discussing women representation um in the ministerial list and the impact on governance with more more fully at what's her name phijabi she'll be joining us much later but first let's quickly run off when we come back from that break we'll see what we found in the news all right national avocado day is celebrated on the last day of july at the peak of the avocado season in california now but luckily avocados can usually be found in supermarkets all year round for people who want to eat them in all the seasons national avocado day was founded in 2017 and has been observed annually and it's gaining a lot of popularity ever since who is a fan of avocado here absolutely i've been seeing so many videos on instagram on avocado salad avocado ice cream avocado these i was wondering what was going on in fact the video what this morning was a woman actually showing you how to quickly check if an avocado is bad so once you pick it up you know that small whatever the top if you if you peel it off if it is dry or if it is hollow it's bad but if it is still fresh you can see the the fresh avocado it means that avocado is good i say don't be smutting avocados i think it's a super fruit actually it's it's a food it's a whole meal on its own and it's just you know that these days my sister if you touch one thing so i'm a big fan of so i bought a bunch of plantain yesterday for 60 000 you know i didn't even have the energy to because i mean i have a child that loves plantain and you know we had talked about the ripening so we had run out so i'd been holding off not wanting to buy on the roadside because i you know i wanted to buy the bunch i can normally do when i touched it and they said it's madame 6000 and i was like you know your brain just really like okay i mean i just said okay because my brain couldn't even comprehend but anyway we're talking about avocado i love avocado it's it's a funny thing that i hated as a child so growing up i would watch my mom eat a hot steaming bowl of white rice with avocado and a little salt and i thought it was the most awful so i can't even tell you when i switched from hating avocado to loving avocado but literally now i can't put avocado in a bowl with spoon i just need this small salt just tiny sauce one i will just eat the whole thing so any good thing is that it can serve as anything can serve as a dressing on your salad it can serve as a spread for your crackers it can serve as a spread on your bread it can serve as any like literally anything you want it there's something really nice if you dice your tomato put some parsley in it dice your avocado just mix it up you have a salad put some olive oil you can sprinkle black pepper sprinkle small salt you know i'm putting it in place if you like as in that's grak na you know like i mean it's just so much like i think the thing for me as well was that i used to he used to go bad all the time in my fridge and then i realized i actually could start freezing it so i have it already like in little containers in my freezer so when i'm blending like sometimes i use it for salad for salad or sometimes in smoothies like it's just so versatile absolutely oh yeah what's our what's in the news it's you have brought them talk to you did you we have the news the president's speech that is the go ahead well it was a i think he believed there's about a 40 point a 40 line items if i was going to call it in the speech it was live i believe at 7 p.m today and he largely came to address the matters in the economy as they are today of course we know that we're all facing the country is going through economic hardship at the moment we are seeing the effects of the removal of the subsidy we're seeing the effects of the harmonization of the effects window so basically he's coming out to talk to us about the economy and he said he wanted to talk in plain language and really just address the issues that we're facing he highlighted his commitment right to the fact that he had never been or has consistently maintained the fact that the fuel subsidy had to go he talked about the small select individuals who are benefiting from the subsidy so essentially the wealth of the many are in the hands of a few kof kof the procedure he talked about the fact that the preceding administration saw the problems that this was causing and as such made no provision in the 2023 appropriations for the subsidy after june of this year he talked about the fact that people again highlighting the few making money from moving um just simply moving effects around to make money on the spread and that he had promised to fight the good fight in terms of reforming the economy um and then talking about the defects in the economy so we were just talking funny enough about the polarization in fact that the middle classes has almost certainly disappeared and we're now firmly in you know such a polarized of the haves and have nots um he echoes that here and that um he's looking to remove those flaws in the economy um and he says what he can't offer in the immediate is to reduce the burden of the current economic situation in trying to understand that this is sort of the dark before the darkest before the dawn um and that he's working closely or the federal governments working closely with the state governments to implement interventions to cushion the pain of the people and then he then goes on to talk about the executive orders that he signed the deferment of taxes essentially trying to address the unfriendly fiscal policies that that are currently in place to help places like businesses and the manufacturing sector to thrive he then goes to talk about how there's 75 billion going to 75 enterprises so we single digits interest rate of 9 percent for one billionaire one billionaire credit to be paid over a max repaid over a maximum of 60 months for long term loans and 12 months for working capital he also addresses the micro small and medium that's the ms me sector with 125 billion going to them out of that 50 50 billion of that will be a conditional grant to one million nano businesses between now and march of 2020 2024 so their target is to give 50 000 to each of the 1300 nano business owners in each of the 774 local governments across the country i mean he largely reels out and he talks about food as well food security um how he's trying to make food items more available more affordable of course we saw the rating of the warehouse in a dam our yesterday and sadly the loss of two lives there so he talks about having ordered the immediate release of 200 000 metric tons of grain from strategic reserves to households across the 36 states and fct to moderate prices also providing 225 000 metric tons of fertilizers healings and other inputs to farmers who are committed to our food security so again we were talking about food insecurity just before the show so these are some of the things that are in place cultivation of 500 000 hectares of farmland and all year around farming practice remains on course to be specific 200 billion out of 500 billion are approved by the um by the national assembly will be dispersed and then he goes on to read 50 billion to cultivate 150 000 hectares of rice and maize 50 billion will also be airmarked to cultivate 100 000 hectares of wheat and cassava um agricultural programs uh expertise so essentially he's talking about you know food security and what they're doing at that point in time and then he's pledging to the fact that he is working to improve to work for us and improve our welfare and living condition again he says that's the only thing that keeps him up day and night and he's approved infrastructure support fund for the states so we've seen some governors you know talking about the palliative measures that they're taking so he's just highlighting that improvement of rural access roads to move and farm produce to markets um programs to rule out bosses across the states and local governments for mass transit there's a provision there to invest 100 billion between now and march of 2024 to acquire 3000 units of 20 seater c ng fueled bosses and these will be shared to major transportation companies in the states using the intensity of travel per capital um and passes being transport companies will be able to access the credit facility at nine percent per annum again over the same 60 month um repayment period there is review of salary for the minimum new national minimum wage for workers so they're working in collaboration with labor unions um and that once we are once they agree on a new minimum wage and a general upward review then budget provision will be made for it for immediate implementation okay so um he also takes the opportunity to salute private employers in the organized private sector who have already implemented general salary review so well done to them he says this period may be hard on us but there's no doubt about it it is tough on us but i urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture sadly there was an unavoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online however we're swiftly closing the time gap so he's pleading with us to please have faith in his ability to deliver and in our concern for the well-being of the populace we will get out of the turbulence um and ideal be better equipped to be able to take advantage of the future that awaits in a little over two months we have saved over a trillion narrow that would have been scondered by the unproductive fuel subsidy which only benefited smugglers and frauds as the money will now be used more directly and more beneficial um fulfilling the promise to make education more affordable so referring to the of course the loans for a higher education that was um launched a few months ago um so basically commitment to the greater good i mean he says point 38 for me we are also monitoring the effects of the exchange rate and inflation on gasoline prices if and when necessary we will intervene the if and the when is now please intervene so it's it's for me my take on this is quickly it's good that he spoke about it he's or rather he's good that he came out to speak i only wish that this had come out two months ago and then we have seen in those two months how he's going to move quickly that it took two months for this to come out after the inauguration for me it's a bit slow um it's very high level for the average man on the streets i'm not hearing what is here so this is a good start please come out and tell us more as your your special advisors and co everybody is watching this one trillion that has been saved they haven't said what is for so that's what i'm saying that they need to be very specific so it's a good start right but then where's the follow-ups and that's what has to happen if you say you're going to move quickly communicate clearly communicate often and this would have come me i feel you said after the subsidy announcement me i feel that this one should have been the first announcement before subsidy announcement came at inauguration what this should have happened is this should probably have come out a few days later yeah right but these things you know they've happened all of it's happened we really talked about buses right we talked about buses we don't have the road for more well so there needs to be creativity in transportation there just needs to be particularly in the largest cities yeah i mean legos has a full waterway network can we try using that i mean just even let's come into putting ferries on the water let's come in i mean people are coming from koridu to let's in fact a member of my team was saying today how it took him it's 14 minutes he said it was even a slow journey but on the water from me koridu to cms 14 minutes take people off the road i mean we're seeing the impact of cars already being off the road with the absolutely with the fuel so we just need to do more to move people around more effectively on that note we are with your implementation sir we'll take a break now let's discuss the ministerial list
