I had took thanks for joining us again Thanks for having me as always So one of the biggest stories of saints saints yesterday is about an empty canoe So the controversy about where he was arrested and how was it done? Okay, so the government did not disclose those details, but a News website called first news Allege that an empty canoe had been Arrested from an airport in Kenya and the IPO be here saying this is basically kidnapping and not extradition Like the government is says he's saying where'd you come in regarding this? Especially talks about going through his social media and probing his accounts Okay First I think that we must be careful to look at what the Issues really should be what the substances should be The first is that there is somebody that jumped bail and then was accused of a major Incident in citing people and things like that and There was need to bring him back to justice. That is one aspect of it the second is the Story behind the person is not somebody who's doing somebody's goat somebody who robbed somewhere and was them, you know detain it's Somebody who carried out a certain art an art that has a national import and except we interrogate that art and Isolate that art from the person we may run the risk of Not being able to Look at this case the way it ought to be now there are one two three aspects of Namdi's case that's different the first is that There is the issue of dual citizenship and how other countries Treat their citizens it happens to be British and Nigerian and every Nigerian is sitting and watching they will either say God I wish I was British or they will say wow it's great to be a Nigerian They are setting International standards will become a global village and we must follow those protocols and those standards The Nigerian law presumes want to be innocent Except proven guilty. We are going to run that as opposed to that of maybe the French Okay, so taking each of those dynamics number one. There was a young man that jumped bail if the country can get him back to answer for his his Action there's nothing wrong with it Number two international dimensions. How do you do that without? You know Violating his rights We have those international conventions that we subscribe to for instance Assuming that he was in a certain country Is it that this country was not willing to cooperate with you so that he can be extradited? You know formally and following the protocols or the conventions Or is it that it was done is just that it has not yet been revealed as a result We are jumping the gun by making a lot of assumptions Some people say he was brought in from Dubai others from Ethiopia others from Kenya There's a lot of speculation and asking myself is this really necessary? Why don't we run countries? Professionally if this guy's been brought back what is such a big secret about how he was brought back the police Addresses this man has been brought back. He was brought back from here. This is what we did I thought that just kills the story unless the government just wants a distraction for people to be distracted from the events of the day concerning governance of the state of the country so that we can just keep running and our Commentaries from all sides and then finally the spirit of the comms For me that's the most important thing any young person that can have a full ownership of up to five million youth predominantly from a certain section deserves a very high level in interrogation and bifurring the cases criminality and Justice and the question we must answer we will answer ultimately Exactly what is here for a Exactly what is here for? because if a young man smart Probably half smart Sput an opportunity Jumps on that opportunity and then because he has an ear in tension You you you negate the opportunity And fight the person He may inadvertently end up creating more problems for the nation Why do we have up to five million? predominantly young people of evil extraction Looking up to this man Just today. I was watching a program on a guy that was into crime big-time crime And he made a statement that just got me thinking About how we need to look at our young. He said is it I needed love I need acceptance and the only place I could find was the crime family the crime They took me they accepted me Now you could say how could you go to crime family and then you forget what led you there? Mr. Yeah, I talk how can we come back? Yes? Yeah The British High Commission is saying that they're going to get involved to initiate talks to the government and of course I'm ready to provide consulate assistance to Namdee Kano How do you think this might affect the outcome of the case seeing that Namdee Kano is also a citizen of I don't I don't I don't want to say I don't Care how it affects The bigger question is What is the average Nigerian youth thinking? If a British government says that is one of our citizens And we need justice for him If he's done the crime he's got to do the time, but please establish that he's done the crime He just be fair We are going to give him every possible support to ensure that justice is served How does that sound in the ears of a young Nigeria? Our future the youth Don't we have a country that should have come up first and say This is our son. We're gonna give him the most fair of trials We're going to make sure that he so that you even preempt the British But we're gonna be very firm and when there is any crime or any charges against him is gonna do the time But as a Nigerian, we're going to make sure we give him all the protection and give him the justice that he deserves If he's wrong, he's gonna pay for it. If he's not guilty, he's gonna go free That statement should have come from the Nigerian government before the British government Because now the British government they've come to take the shine of Nigerians We're not looking at Nigerians or wanting to pull the intimidate and runs, you know this young person And we're like in as much as even even even There's a young girl that is being told that she killed somebody Okay, the person is dead. We all know he's dead. You understand me, but That young girl or lady has a right to fair hearing Because maybe somewhere along the line you may discover that she had a mental problem You are so let's start or something along the line you could discover one thing or the other bet You give a fair hearing in a clear case of murder and there's nothing to dispute about it in the same manner Let us first give Nigerians that impression that I nation that the Citizen is my child and I'm going to give them fair hearing that animation is lost and is unfortunate Government must learn to be cerebral and must learn what governance is all about I'm really bothered that. We really don't know what governance is all about professionals to wake up and Get involved and let us rescue this country. We don't run in governance. We're not My son and talk let's move away from them the cannon out to Some other thing that made the headlines this morning and that is the PDP leaders protesting against Loreta or not chairs nomination. They were gathered yesterday senator Barry Bay Which is a condescent a couple of other people to protest her nomination and of course is a demanding that the government drops her As a nominee for an commissioner. What are your thoughts? The very first thing I would like to say is Did it really need to come to this? You know, we run this a PC government a PDP was not even much different. That's why I'm not really they are like Six and half dozen. Yeah, they are right. Don't they realize that? Setting statements and made for you to do to do before you make a statement You think of what you want to achieve Okay Election I want election to be seen to be free very credible That is just the starting point on account of this. I'm going to start with perception when it comes to the electoral acts I'm gonna rush and make sure that it's out and people know what it's all about. I want election to be free fair credit So electoral and you rush it. You're telling Nigerians 2023 multi free fair credit, but you've got to know the rules. You've got to rehab the rules Don't come in here training ignorance on anything. That is one we refused You go into the second one funding of Inaq Inaq where's your budget? What do you need? I want you to start on time preparation is what you need for success and Make so much noise with each of these animations people are like wow 2023 is gonna be good you prepare the most minds before time and then you come to appointment You do this and then people say this you come out You use a sledgehammer to kill a fly just to make a point This lady is said to be faster. We really don't see her as such. We believe she's a fair-minded person We believe that she's professional. She's this is about the basis. We brought her out integrity, but Just to assuage as it were the feelings of the public so that because in a case you know in a case Somebody can stand and say I don't want that judge on my case because my brother and him had a problem And then he's likely to be biased against me And they wouldn't listen to and withdraw the drug and bring another one because justice most or not only be served It was the same that perception perception is reality You know and then we need to need to wait for BDP to now go on a protest It was not necessary a PC government Lacks have said this time and time again. They lack strategy. They lack time. They lack kids They just don't have it. They don't really seem to know what they want And maybe this is what they want. Maybe I'm the one thinking they should understand what governance is Maybe that's not really what they are in there for so long as they can be in power And what I text to be empowered as what they want if they need to bring in criminals They need to bring officers of people. They need to bring in characters. I have a question just that they can serve their purpose They are willing to do it. Maybe that is their mindset But I would like to think better of them That they will know that they took an oath to defend the integrity of this country to be fair to be just to be A bit able to own and within that context I want to appeal to them They don't need to be a many comparable ladies in every in every state in every state of this Federation in every senatorial district You have completed capable ladies if they want me to help them Just tell me which zone you want and I'll give me a list of 10 very qualified Computers who are going to choose from that I won't be without a neutral. So please let's drop that lady Okay, not not be the only even I park say it That was a former national chairman of a party And when I Speaks on election and fairness Listen to the people Okay, let's move over to security now on the Nigerian tribune. There are three stories across that sector The biggest one is about the bandits attacking gandages convoy and injuring three policemen But the commission has said the governor was not in that convoy They also the story about bandits killing a lawmaker in Zanfora kidnapping the son and the driver and lastly Courts remanding two herdsmen for allegedly kidnapping a kitty traditional ruler. Do you see if it trend it thread? across these three stories The trend Is across all the stories in security and I don't know when we start to talk about insecurity in this country But I prayed that we all come to a point of saying that a human lives matter Look at Britain Britain is willing to go out of their way and do everything because of one individual Who is not really really really British? to speak Now they seem more as a Nigerian than a British but for the simple reason is not even a white man. He's a black guy Just for the simple reason that he has a British passport The British is going out of their way to make sure that they tell you that every life matters What is the animation I keep using that word today of our Nigerian government to our lives? If the governor is not safe Who is safe? If the Convoika do we really think of the mind games? What is tells us is it this this this terrorist are not as as You know, um, what they call it as as Non-structured or non-strategic that are like our government are They they make a point and that point is not what you see But what they want you to perceive at the back of your mind or your mind? They thrive in that fear So they hit the target How is government reversing the trends? Govmen is giving us explanation. We are doing our best. We are trying we are doing this as you are doing that These guys are hitting hard targets, not even soft targets again And when they go to soft targets, they want to make a point. There is object in two things today They want to cut two hundred and it's fine When they can cut two hundred students and nobody talks and then come to government I eat and nobody talks. I pray that, you know, they have already done the police headquarters once I pray that they don't hit Vila because That would be this is some still some way that we believe in Mind that they cannot go there When they hit a government house of Vila We would have come to a point where we believe that this hopeless and hope is the anchor that stabilizes the soul We investors come. Why will they come into this country? The government should stop right today to talk about investors Because it means they are thinking they should come and concentrate 100% on security The moment this country is secure, we have all the indices to attract any investment that we want If we are as long as we treat the insecurity as inconsequential No same Person will come to invest in your country So this day should be a long old Goals and the president should stop saying anything about the foreign direct investment They should stop because they are taking off a granted. They are taking what don't we know? I know I do know That no man will come into our country to invest in the place of insecurity But at the moment we are secure they will rush us know that saying hashtag the days of Twitter But then they rush us you understand me Nigeria has everything to be the most beautiful right in the coming the world But nobody will come unless you are secure. So let Mr. President sit on All right I Finally I think You can quickly just squeezing your thoughts on the defections you made statements earlier saying the PDP and the APC are pretty much the same thing But there still are defections the PDP currently has reduced to 38. I believe senators and Zamfara state of course The reason you know for the traveling to Zamfara state in first place was because of the defection of governor Matawale so quickly also share your thoughts on what's going on with the opposition party and You know the fact that there's more There are two things first is that I was talking to a very high-ranking person in the PDP extremely high And he smiled and said yeah, this is politics Okay, what we want to do is Move people to APC move some of these defections as strategic store that Just before election They will all come home. Do you understand me so that there's going to be this trend where just before election There's mass movement from it because APC has a problem forget about what's going on And they can use the security to intimidate people guy three months to election You can afford to use anything you can afford to hide you can afford to do anything But now if they say come and you don't come they can't hit you. You still have over a year. They can kill with you So cool You understand they say you carry a chance a person's child when he's asleep when he wakes up He will go back to the parents So they are saying let APC have their way that when the time comes they will know where each person belongs But that's not what by all the politics all those things don't affect the price of that in the market for the poor man We are asking that is the third force that will push this playaway and give us what governance is That's what Nigerians want. They are playing politics and politics has made us with the poorest the Poverty capital of the world. What we need is governance And that's what God wants me to talk and talk and talk good governance Please every right-thinking person should come and to bless the Africa Thanks again for this privilege of watching it. Yes. Lastly from me a story here about education Affe Babalola writes on creation of tertiary institutions I've been having talks about this, you know advocacy for the creation of new Institutions in Nigeria, but do you think that really should be the focus when we've been talking about Kids being kidnapped from school or do you think that's that's a great direction to move to? Anything that brings focus to us talking about education is welcome by me anything that brings Education to focus where we start to have conversation Any of these things will make us to have conversations and we need to have conversations on education any policy any strategy any Attacks that anybody can conceive. Please bring it to the table so that we can discuss by that process We bring education to the front burner. We've talked about insecurity for so long Let's start to talk about healthcare. Let's start to talk about housing. Let's start to talk about education These are the pillars the fundamentals that drive a healthy society Education is key. So for me, we can discuss it. We can interrogate it. I would rather discuss that policy than discuss the fiction of People who are doing what they know what to do against our common interest in my opinion Alright, as a girl, you know, I talk. Thank you very much for your time this Thursday morning. Welcome to July and We wish you a beautiful month ahead Welcome to the better half of the year. Thank you. Thank you. All right Good morning. Stay with us. We're going to go on a short break when we come back We'll let you know what happened on this day in history We're back to the year 2007
