 As Niger joins the rest of the world to mark the World Hypertension Day, experts say about 80 million adult Nigerians representing 40% of the population are at risk of hypertension. What's the way forward? Also, on the breakfast, we bring you updates on the security situation in Kano and what safety measures have been put in place for the resumption of trained services. And don't forget we will also be looking through today's newspapers and analysing the biggest stories of the day. Good morning to you. This is the Breakfast and Plus TV Africa. I am Justin Al-Kadouni. I am Messi Boko. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Good morning to you, Messi. Brand new Luke. He looked nice by the way. Thank you so much. I take that. Thank you. I think I like it when women go and break and all. OK, thank you. OK, OK. Messi is trying to just take it all together. Hey, let's just slide onto top trending. Oh, thank you. So Kano is actually trending not really for a wonderful reason right now, but for an explosion that rocked a particular area of the ancient city, that's Sabon Geri. And the police rest in peace agreeing over the cause of the particular inferno. The police has come out with a statement and they are saying that it was caused by the inferno is actually a gas explosion, although residents disagree. So it's really, I mean, looking at that situation and looking at the incident, it calls for a lot of whether or not it's a gas situation or it's not a gas situation. We're hoping that the relevant quarters, because when you have an incident like this happen, there should be an investigation. But let's even go by the story that's been put out. Let's even say that it's a gas explosion. We constantly are, I don't know for every other person, but I have constantly queried and questioned why we have, if you look at this building now, therefore you have that there's a school beside it and then you probably would have a gas station, right? But I haven't seen the picture of a gas station. So the only reason anybody would believe that, you know, this was not a deliberate attack. I mean, it was not, you know, some persons going there to put out the explosive would be that we need to understand if you have a gas station beside it. There's no way you're going to explain that if there's no gas station, whether it's a retail shop or store or it's a fueling station. But we constantly have talked about the danger of having all of that. You move around across different parts of Nigeria. You would see that there are a lot of disasters waiting to happen. And then those who would call on God would call on God and those who would say, oh, the devil has come afterwards, the demons in our villages and what have you called your grandfather, your grandmother, because they are the witches and wizards that are haunting you. But we constantly forget that our action every other time. I could see a head. I mean, that would be a head of a child. It's really sad and unfortunate. And some of the disasters that we actually face, a man made their cost-buyers deliberately so like I said, we're waiting that the relevant authorities will get through to it and then they investigate the exact situation with that explosion, whether it is a terrorist attack or it's just the callousness on our part where you have that explosion because you have a gas station or retail station close to it. It was really dangerous and I asked, who are those? Because that's why you have government. I say that all the time. Governance is not about vying for election and contesting wanting to become the president and the governor. And that's it. It doesn't end there. It goes beyond all of that. We need to pay attention to things like this. And then we make comparison to the developer plan. These things almost don't happen, right? How do you have a gas station close to a residential area? It's not done. Even in the movies, you don't see that happen. It's not. It's a disaster. It would happen. An explosion would occur. A disaster waiting to happen. Yes. And I have seen a lot. The church in a certain city where you have, the church is in the middle of a gas station. And on the other hand, you know, this is the middle of a retail, it's just waiting to explode. It would explode. But who gives the approval? Because before you acquire property, I mean a landed property, someone would have to approve it. And in whose purview is it? The state government. Exactly. So who's giving approval to all of this? Why do we have filling stations? Why do we have gas stations in residential and commercial areas? It's not supposed to be so. Can we just have an area? And then if you begin to say, okay, you already have gas, gas stations around or filling stations around a certain area, then you should not consider having, you know, residential, you know, permits around this area. Yes. A whole lot. So it's depressing. It's very depressing. It is very depressing. Like you have said, when town planners, when city planners give approvals for how a city would be run, there is a master plan. And over time, this master plan is changed just to accommodate some other people or even some greedy people, as it's said. But then, you know, it is, it behoves up on the government to ensure that everyone who lives in a particular area is safe. When you give your approvals, what's the initial plan? Is this supposed to be a commercial area? Is it supposed to be residential? I want it's, I mean, I mean, been approved to be residential. Some activities are not exactly meant to be there, gas station, filling station and other highly combustible, you know, the substances are being close to where people live should not be what we are talking about at this particular time. We've lost a whole lot of lives in Nigeria. We don't need to be, you know, burdened with people dying from preventable causes. This is one I feel would have been prevented if the report of the police is anything to go by. Then this is a really sad situation which could have been prevented. We'll be looking at what the papers are saying this morning on Off the Press to join us again.
