For the twenty-three generation and that is what's happening. If you look at the trend, I believe that the one being picked by the President, this is the nation from the Senate to the party, right? The one thing by Amnesty is that it could be a donation for the Minister of Transportation. The one picked by the President is a donation for the ministry and the rest of them. Because I visited him, met with some of these people. Most of them will see the re-picture. But the way it goes is really good and it needs too much desire. All right, let's take him all the stories. Let's go to the Nigerian Tribune right now. Just below the main story, there is a story on Asu, Angus Asu extends strike for by another three months action regrettable. Tech fund is bosses direct intervention funds. There are several stories making headlines. But let's just leave that one aside since we will discuss that much later. But let's talk about the fuel scarcity right now, CEC. And it is surprising that after all Nigerians had gone through in the early part of this year, this issue of fuel scarcity is still resounding. And the NNPC has come out to say that it was as a result of maybe the long holidays and all of that. The SQs, would you say it is justifiable? Justifiable. When we do the last year of scarcity, I personally said that it is just a little time before we go into what I would call another world recession. And that is what we are seeing now. And if you can choose like this, it's time if we access this right with it. After this time and time, it became that one thing we continue to do in this room. I make sure that all our finance are working. We are doing a good new one. Actually, that we will continue to have this. When you continue to defend on the protection of oil, this is what we are going to have something to give. There is going to be an issue of electricity. There is going to be an issue of the price differences. There is going to be like where other circumstances like the war, going on between Russia and Ukraine, that in itself is also affecting the oil market. So, the thing would be that if anything happened within this value chain, then Nigeria would be affected. And that is what is happening. Not enough, those are things, those are first legals of the bifurc, driving and bifurc, but I can tell you that the next few days, these two figures are still there. You know it only starts from Abuja. Once it starts from Abuja, then Abuja will give you the next legals. Sooner than later, it's going to happen within legals and we will be back to where we were from which part. And the government doesn't seem to have an answer to it. And the people just want us to tell you that oh, we have enough in our fall. We have enough to go around. We have enough to last for three months, 20 months and less. That is what we call in legals the rear. Because at the end of it, people come to realize that they cannot meet the demand. And another aspect is that most of these decoders are also smuggled to our neighboring countries, like charge, like Niger and Benary public. So because of the current mental health of our country, you see that most of these decoders, they don't just have to find their way into the northern part and move back to the and so the northern part of the West African region, this will continue on the way. And what are we doing now? Let's put my dengue to come onto. Dengue to do. So on that, I mean, I've already been against the so monopolistic nature of that dengue to refineries because we also hear that by monopoly, the dengue to cause of course, let's also take a look at the Nigerian Tribune. It talks about the fact that in Sokoto and Zamfara state, you don't have candidates would not be you know, writing that examination and a reason has not been put out, but you also have some other quarters saying it might just be the fact that the government at the time is owing some accumulated debt owed over the years. Well, idea to me is more like a second. As I always say, Nigeria is just like Tally Boy show. On Tally Boy show anything to happen, we cannot predict what will happen. But just look at this from this point of view. The drug lord of Sokoto state I mean, in Zamboa, it's jumping out already around the both countries trying to mobilize their support for his 2022 presidential application and this is somebody that cannot include short as two banks competing in YF. This is an exam that comes once in YF, apart from MECO which means that they will not be able to have the same next year. So practically everybody by next in SS3 in JSS3 at its where from Sokoto and Zafara state cannot participate and YF is not going to analyze it for you because it is a sub-regional exam not about Sokoto and Zafara state. What is the premium that is an issue for Tally education? We are talking about ASU now it's also the same thing ASU has gone on site for another three months. Which means that before you know it the whole of this session will be wiped off just like it did last year. Meaning that two banks are going to lose two academic sessions. This is an initial and you have a minister of state for education has gone to pick 100 million of national funds to contest the president. The minister of the neighbor has gone ahead to also pick up the funds to contest. When it won't the little work that they are given to manage they cannot manage somebody that cannot manage a minister how will they be able to manage a hope? That is the irony of Nigeria that is the standard aspect of Nigeria that is the standard of Zafara back to Zafara because Sokoto and Zafara are one of the most educationally disadvantageous in Nigeria and everything has been done to encourage bookies to go to school and getting to be and not even pay their but just unfortunately Let's also stay with another caption as much as this would become the major conversation for us but we would like to show your thoughts on this one quickly Angaz asks you to extend strike by another three months what are your thoughts? I talk about that just unfortunately that this is happening I have been the part of the Zafara for many years and it is obvious that the demand of health is not being met and this is good to continue because governments have taken a backseat now I can tell you that not only health education so many of others because our politicians are focusing on 2023 I have already said this time and time again and most of this is because the government and the health officers just used about two years to perform their four years to perform their duties and generally many two years they use it for rehabilitation or try to realign themselves for the treatment for the combination and that is what is happening because many everything humanly possible and like the rest of the students they are sitting around with us the rest of the students have been denied or expressed if nothing is done and this needs to be expressed in the danger for the nation that is coming on students that are going to be struggling but there is another opportunity that a federal government will continue to sign an agreement and they don't it is not just the health officers but also the police even with the doctors and so many others do which the federal government want to try in other things what I will tell you is that the government is continuing and if you cannot you can sign as the government other parts of the world but here this is unusual and I have always said because of the fact that most of our leaders have their children school in abroad and a lot of them in Nigeria I don't know where we are but let's also stay with education a lot seems to be going on in Nigeria and it is quite unfortunate if you ask me now on the sit at home order you find out that those who are going to be writing the jam examination this candidate some of them have complained of being stranded there is a lot of mix up in Enugo in Anambra mostly in the south west and the tendency of whether or not these exams will be able to write these exams is quite questionable what are your thoughts what can be done what can the government do it feels like it is a hopeless situation it is not a mix up what we have in is the problem you have is the south east is called by the statue that has been observed for several months now in the south east yesterday at the airport and what that means is that you know that like what we had during our time during our time that was just one of one day everybody normally on Saturdays everybody will sit for the exam and that will be across Nigeria now it has not been submitted because now it is not logical that is why the last week is supposed to end yesterday Monday that of the south east because of the students because of which they can throw me the south east most of the students do not have any and that has been an issue and for me that has been a problem I do not know how damn is going to do that whether they are going to schedule that exam for themselves if they don't then to me the south east are going to hold this short because some of all have been saying this for a long time the economic activity in the south east is things people don't say to how can you be adjacent for something and still helping yourself and it is not only helping them it is the institution where so-called unborn women and women are giving people that it is the same people that are saying they are killing because the mechanism and I think that this should have been we should have been able to find a more better approach to this problem that we are going to do and if the exam refuses to conduct another another exam that means they are going to use that that is the whole year in whose case is this stuff this is just part of it let's also quickly share your thoughts on these or the headline before we call it a wrap this morning on the paper review you also have on the punch newspaper the fact that INEK and CBN partnership on the threat over the membership I think that the example to me is the weakest leader over this country good night and that is my personal opinion because what is happening has never ever happened we are giving ourselves a better approach and also an empire like INEK to determine whether he will contest a negotiation or not CBN government never have this ever ever had that I would have a president sitting down there and just watching us this is the threat our threat has been affected on a daily basis on the daily basis because of the activities of this mass for goodness sake what is happening how can a business go more on certain banks when a random and let me tell you for first the first is this material meant for a nation to get in the vote of this change if you may be able to understand folks who run the material and get in the vote of CBN so you are going to put certain material from a nation in the hands of somebody who is also contested for the nation what is that for by now I think that it's not going to policy it's not going to any position it cannot do that at the helm of a pair of the affairs bank in the country are still going around politics nowhere it's not done now he went to the court yesterday to seek compensation of his credit basis and the court cannot do it even another time for I like has been invited to give you a part of the story of his story now I like has been distracted from doing his family just because of the selfishness of one man and we also have a president sitting down in a booth sitting down in a sort of nothing is happening there is nothing it is really really Chris came there one day thank you so much for being part of the show this morning that's the size of the press would you appreciate your time always what is it what is it to be on stage this morning morning and have a wonderful day I'm sure it's been very intense for you thank you all right that's it this morning I mean if you look at the conversation it is really really really sad you know all that is just sad you know this issue of students and protesting you know when they have the right to an education and you know it's really messy messy messy it's really messy messy messy messy messy but on the most we really need to fix the road in education system honestly although you advocated this morning that student shouldn't just idol themselves or while away time they should actually take to one vocation or the other yes which is what should be because a lot of people would say that how much of this protest I mean how much result would protest yield or you can also take out the fact that the people have a right to an assembly you know peaceful assembly as long as that's why it's called peaceful as long as it doesn't truncate or it doesn't cause harm to anyone it doesn't stop and threaten national security and so everyone has a right now with protest protest has been a tool that a lot of countries people across the world in developed climes different parts of the world have taken to protest and protest has yielded result protest is that too where people demand for good governance and policy from the government that query some actions of government and what have you but it's not that you know it's just peculiar to us protesting and having that we have to demand for basic things but it is very very unfortunate I mean what are Nigerians really asking for what are we really asking for what does asking for the basic things and if you look at the unemployment statistics or the figures that you have all together without even having to do the calculations just go on the streets you see a number of peasants who are actually idle the conventional university structure that we have because we seem to be paying attention to all of that so everyone you raised that question when we're talking that you have about 1.7 million persons who are planning to write the jam exam to what institution where some persons who are supposed to graduate in 2017 are still in the university till 2022 I mean really so where are we going to at this point in time and to make matters worse is that from what we hear the academic stuff you know of polytechnic isn't backing us right from tomorrow there's almost like a total shot down here as much as you read out some amounts that Tethphone said it has released to several universities but at the end of the day have they actually addressed all of the issues that ASU is demanding because if you just scratch the surface what about the issues really and for some people the argument is let's begin to privatize the educational sector but if you look at with privatization yeah that's what it is because if you look at developed clients you know the private sector seem to be involved but of course you can also take our government from that these are basic things that government should provide and like you have really mentioned I don't know it worries my head it's really sad that at this point in time we have to go through you know the same cycle we have to still be talking about not having people in school the things that these lecturers are asking for even though we know that there's a bone of contention now you've seen how much government has said they are releasing to universities polytechnics and including college of education now but you also need to come to that point it feels like there's this you know thing that government and ASU might just be not on the same table and it feels like nobody's about to compromise it's the payment system and so on the other hand you have the government saying the IPPIS ASU is saying that you know it's it's criminal there's a lot of fraudulent activity that goes on with that payment system and on the other hand the government is saying that it does not pass the integrity that's the Utah's so this argument is back and forth but if you look at it really really some of the things that they're asking for for me I feel like the government has fought it a couple of times how do you even get into an agreement we have an agreement an agreement should be that's why it's an agreement but we don't follow the agreement to think that it actually dates back to 2009 and over 13 years we've been having all of this back and forth we just need to put an end to this but good thing that would have an ASU chairman give you a chapter about their their grievances as it were in a moment but we'll take today in history when we come back we'll have the gentlemen talk to us about these issues but definitely the nation every task in a moment to join us again
