 6 Nigerian children is suffering depression according to UNICEF. What this means and how we can change it is our first major topic this morning. David Dole continues his money raising campaign, getting more than 180 million liras in two weeks. And Super Eagles coach Janet Ross job on the line, with many sports enthusiasts calling for his sack. Great to have you join us this morning on the breakfast here on Plus TV Africa. I am Osaugi Ogbonan. Thanks for joining us. And I am Messi Ropo. It's good to have you join us this morning. How are you? I'm very well. Thank you. So we set up the conversation with a top trending as usual. David Dole has actually raised 184 million Naira, I mean he started like a joke, right? And the fact that that video popped up where he talked about that we actually also believe by raising all this and then he said to his friends or he put out a video saying he's been assisting people all the while and he wants to find out how much of his friends you know would also support him. So he decided that everyone, he put out his account number, everyone should send a million Naira, his friends and he started calling them deliberately and so forth. I'm thinking that this money would actually go you know more than 184 million. Maybe the figure could probably just stop at this hour so to speak because it feels like a progress. But a lot of people have actually jumped on this. I mean some people have criticized this, others have actually appraised this. I mean there's so much conversation surrounding. David Dole seemed to be you know the conversation on the internet right now and everywhere. Everyone's talking about David Dole. Everybody's also asking for money, send 150, send 100. I want to try my friends you know Peace Square and you know the Peace Square's actually jumped on it. You also have different persons saying oh I want to you know start this challenge and all of that. But... Oh like you said it started you know like a joke you know and I'm sure he didn't even expect that this is how it would turn out. He probably just started it as you know something to play around with you know as that people that he had made happy or people he had made music with or given hits should you know send in a million Naira and you know I think it started with in 10 minutes or so he had raised about five million Naira you know and then it became you know the next big thing and everybody started to throw money into that account. He posted his account on Twitter also and got a lot of people then sending him money until he got to you know 40 million next he was 50, 60, 80, 100 and then he said oh let's hit 200 you know and he just continued and I think he also received money from other you know artists outside Nigeria. There's also a video of a guy that he met in the mall in Dubai that also gave him 1.6 million, 10,000 dirhams. So it's very you know very interesting you know some people have said it's a social experiment you know some even said that maybe it's a campaign by the bank you know that he's partnering with you know but it's not because the bank also you know sent him you know one million Naira. And also saying that it's possible that he's broke. No absolutely not absolutely not so I think it's really just it started as a joke you know and he has gone on to take advantage of you know all of its shame on those who decided that they also want to feed off you know the popularity of this you know the Big Brother Nigeria winner and of course the twins that decided to come together after five years and the first thing that they decided to do after coming back together is to ask for their own you know donations and their own support. So I'm thinking that yeah I'm thinking that a lot of persons who are jumping on this campaign right now will not get the kind of support David is getting. So this is what I think happened you know and I think is the thing that happens with a lot of in a lot of Nigeria in a lot of societies including Nigeria the last time we had this type of donations to any cause was the Ansar's protest when the feminist coalition was of course you know collecting donations from across Nigeria and across the world Africans in the Nigerians in diaspora and the likes and they raised you know more than a hundred million I believe that's the last time we saw any okay maybe I'm mistaken but it was a lot of money but that's the last time we saw anything you know of this sort so I think it's really just the Nigerian character of wanting to be associated with wealth or wanting to be associated with popularity and that's really what has pushed a lot of people to put in their one million, their two millions, their five millions, maybe even you know Femio Teddler also jumped on it you know and sent money according to Davido. You know because Davido, Davido calls them out now. Yeah you know but you can also ignore you know and because I mean he's rich so it's not by force that you send but I think it's really just the thing this is the new trend everybody what everybody wants to get on it and so they will go ahead and send money which is a beautiful thing and I like the fact that you know this happened you know and because I've also seen all the conversations that say this means that when Nigerians are serious about you know donating to a cause they really will you just have to be able to trigger their senses enough and so every other person who thinks that you know this might be a way to raise funds don't break your own heart you know except you are sure that you can trigger Nigerian and the sense of Nigerians enough maybe to propaganda or some other you know way you will not get the the amount of support. So for those who are actually jumping this is my advice I'm thinking at this point in time you can't really get the same attention Davido is getting you just need to wait for another time. Yeah you absolutely will not. And before you put that out but however and there's something that Pete Doche's son actually said he talked about crowdfunding for the election. Politics yes. Yeah for politics especially for you know young peasants who are vying for political office I really do not know how that would actually pan out if anyone comes out to say okay I'm vying for political office and then I want you to you know I want to raise money I don't know if people would you know if that would really get that I think I think there will be certain people that will get some level of support it really depends on how the people see you and how much you're able to trigger their senses enough because this one now yes people would argue that oh you know and all those William Shakespeare's and the likes that are set up to create motivational quotes around this and saying oh you know be a good person people I was gonna for you stop it. There is that narrative that because of how much he has helped people and I agree with that that he's been a great person he has a good heart so because of that that's why he's gotten his level of support but I feel that aside that there's other people who don't necessarily can't necessarily say that they've been a fear anything from him personally but they just want to be a part of the crowd that are donating they wanted their names to be flashed on his insta story that of course this person sent one million this person sent two million and that's the reason that they're jumping on it if you try that with politics a lot of those people don't care they wouldn't want to know you know who's running for politics because that is not it it's not interesting you know it doesn't give them popularity doesn't it doesn't you know there's a particular end of fin or something in the body that it excites it doesn't give them that and so Peter you don't say I'm sorry you wouldn't I don't think you would get this level of support but there's a way that he do you think he was saying that because you know paraventure yeah I think that's what he was he was he was he has intentions yeah he probably asking now during to support him yeah you know and I would love if we get there as a country I would love if we have private citizens decide that they want to run for election not necessary with any of the major parties and they need support and endurance actually come out to support them because since they supported the end SARS protest with all those funds and they were able to pull up this amount of money with the video this is going to 200 million now then any political position can be supported any young Nigeria can be supported you just need to trigger Nigerians enough because a lot of people would see a bank you decide to run and they'll turn their faces the other way because okay you'll be fine but this one now they know David is fine they know he's rich they know he doesn't necessarily need this money but they would still go ahead and donate no you know with the politics issue I think that we are I know some persons who actually practice you know crowdfunding when they're vying for political office but it doesn't really have that like you have mentioned because it doesn't have anything to excite them and what would they benefit at the end of the popularity and what have you but the point is if you look at you know I mean the likes of Barack Obama at the time you know he probably you know asked during his campaign period he solicited for support and then you know that kind of support will come but however let's see you know how things actually there are systems totally different over there anyway they would be able to raise funds you know he also wouldn't necessarily raise funds from anyway it's a totally different system in the US you know compared to it here in Nigeria and the amount of money that the politician needs here to win an election it would take a lot more than crowdfunding to pull that amount of money 180 million would not win any election in Nigeria except you have you know run for election had a very very smallest level to be governor I'm sure you need more than a hundred and eighty million or two hundred million and I don't know the crowd that's going to give that any person that one except you know you are speedy this morning somebody maybe speedy anyway let's move away from that conversation let's talk about a girl I think it was sometime this week we spoke about sexual harassment in the workplace we're going to be talking about sexual harassment again but this time on the road a young lady shared her story yesterday on social media of a very unfortunate incident that she you know sadly was a victim she was on the streets of Lagos one morning trying to get to work SUV pulled up it was a rainy morning in Lagos and SUV pulled up up and of course offered her a ride she you know sently accepted and got into you know the vehicle from Maryland bused up to a Jota she said it was a very very short ride but immediately she got into the car the doors were pinned and the man who was driving these vehicle then immediately you know started talking about how the weather gets him excited pretty much the same thing with the tech guy saying you know marijuana gets him excited in a particular way and you know stuff like that and you know next thing he brings out his penis you know right then the car and is you know asking that she touches him asking that she helps him you know play with it you know and some you know nonsense like that she eventually survived that incident got out of the vehicle and then of course a couple of days later because she knew that she needed some evidence and some information to be able to get this person or to shame this person for his acts you know she then got into a WhatsApp conversation with him because exchange numbers got into what's up conversation with him he eventually confessed to the crimes in the WhatsApp conversation they gotta you know she also got a phone call recorded the phone call and then put all the information out on social media I have always believed that lack of sexual control will ruin anybody mostly men and I think that's what they may need to learn from some of all these things no so I would start off on that particular note that you started off the other day when we talked about there's many to do more some men need to do better and that's where it is now self-control is very very I mean not necessarily limited to you know sex but we should be able to have self-control as human beings and that's what we're not zombies we should be able to have that kind of subcontractor it's very very scary it's really really sad that you know we're no longer safe in the space again I mean how can that really happen at the point in time I'm really glad that nothing really happened to her but like she mentioned she's talking about the fact that she's traumatized because it can be scary I mean the fact that you don't know what will happen to you he probably could have raped her in the vehicle and some people would say oh so why did you you know why did you know why you get in the vehicle but if you look at the condition and especially if you live in Lagos it can be very very frustrating at a time but the word will be we can do better as as a people and the fact that he said you know he just wanted to satisfy really at a time I'm sure he probably has a wife or if he's not married he probably would have a girlfriend somewhere and you know that there are a lot of persons that you can have consenting sex with so you know I also think that you know we need to go beyond just shaming these people I agree with publicly shaming them but aside that you know I think that the laws need to work better with these type of incidents you know with a person who sexually assault sexually harasses somehow somewhere and and you know the idea of sexual harassment is not just physical because that's the idea that a lot of Nigerian men have that as long as you didn't physically assault and rape you know a person then it's not necessarily sexual assault but I think that idea needs to be changed and more men need to do better we need to go beyond just shaming these people the law needs to actually take its course in situations like this and you know make them pay for making of course you know I don't it breaks but you know but you know that it's going to be very difficult for us to get to that point because we're still struggling with the issue of having to sort out the issue of rape and all of that harassment I'm sure there's a very there's a popular case that we had to deal with in Nigeria and I'm sure that we followed up on that particular story where you would now begin to ask if there was penetration because usually we always want to look at rape at the point where there's penetration but you see when you begin to touch the private parts I feel like a lot of people outside of this country would probably be in jail I mean a lot of times because we do not know how to respect people's you know very private space yeah because we're getting to that private space there's no punishment for it well so we're getting to that private space and then we constantly think that sexual harassment is just limited to having that penetration yeah and that's it falsely taken and then that's why it's rape but you know from the part that you begin to touch the sensitive part of the body it's private part and of course then you begin to encroach it is really really sad public display of nudity also that's sexual harassment and you know it needs to be told to a lot of people sadly or rather you know good thing is that she got out of this experience without you know being harmed or without being hurt but once again asides publicly shaming this man there needs to be more done you know to make a lot of Nigerian men I can't say all men because I know there's a lot of you know responsible men out there that would never do that so well a lot of Nigerian men need to do better and need to be taught to do better if they have to be taught to do better and then this should be you know a wake-up call to all of the organization non-governmental organization government agencies individual you know religious leaders and what have you we need to create the awareness we need to begin to understand that yes sexual harassment is not good it is a crime and you know as long as we say oh there are no stipulated laws because every other time the excuse will be oh there are no laws for all of that but we need to create the awareness there's a lot of work that needs to be done I've also seen I'm sure you must have also heard those stories of getting in an Uber you know and he brings out his penis while he's driving that there's a couple of those stories that I've seen on social media also you know a young lady getting in ordering an Uber she gets into the you know the backseat and you know I've probably seen that four or five years and he brings out his penis right there in the car while he's driving and you know starts playing it's so disgusting yesterday I also saw a video of a Uber driver who picked up a lady and while they were driving he was watching porn on his phone the screen was right there you know the place that they hang the screen under under you know where the AC events are it was right there and he was watching porn while they were driving these are all just very very insane things that you wouldn't expect you know from you know a sane society but yes I understand that there are animals you know amongst us those people need to be taught a lesson so that we have a safer environment for women and for men of course but mostly for women because these cases mostly affect women we need to do what we must do as a society to ensure that we have a safer you know space for women women need to be safe going out they need to be safe coming home they need to be safe entering public transport and to be safe taking you know rides in any in any part of the country finally sadly this is an Edo state so nobody would believe when we try to defend the Edo people and say we're not necessarily witches where did that come from when I saw the story yesterday when I saw the story yesterday and I was sharing with friends you know I the caption I wrote was sadly once again Edo state but anyway in Edo state woman was taken to the mortuary of course you know by her family after being you know according to them come from dead she got to the mortuary and just when the mortuary staff were about attending to her she woke up and this happened in Edo state and of course got you know the whole place you know running helter skelter sadly once again it happened in Edo state but it doesn't define who we are okay she probably was just taking a little nap and decided you know it was time for her to wake up but on a serious note you know we actually had this conversation you know of camera and one of things we talked about is the fact that at what point do you see because I was I'm of the opinion that you know we should be able to allow some people sometimes you hear someone's passed out but maybe we could just you know allow them for a bit before we could take them to the market and all of that not that they were going to change your mind but in this particular case the report is that family actually took her to the market where she declared dead by the family I guess so that shouldn't be that shouldn't be it means she wasn't declared dead by you know medical practitioner or doctor however it was she was declared dead by members of a family and that's you know unprofessional totally unacceptable because you don't know when someone is dead you know a professional should be able to declare someone and even at that I'm saying let's just give them you know a few more minutes or an hour maybe they'll probably come back I don't know don't look at me like that you know I will simply just say there's a lot that needs to be done you know with information concerning you know public health you know and you know the Nigerians reaction to certain things or sadly we don't have ambulances because in you know another society we do have a few the ambulances we have in Nigeria after carry dead bodies not to rescue okay in other societies you would expect that when there is a medical emergency when a person collapses when a person is unconscious you will call the ambulance or you call the police you call 911 well whichever one you can call in Nigeria they get to the scene they attend to the person if the person is confirmed dead at the scene then they take the person to the mortuary a man or woman collapses in Nigeria they check your nose there's no air coming out your stomach is not going up and down they say she's dead they take her immediately to the morgue you know and then she wakes up that's exactly I'm thinking that's what played out here you know and it could also be the fact that you have a lot of persons I mean family members I don't even like here they're waiting for you to just die or you probably just had an opportunity to say you're dead but that's an enlightened now the point is we need to you know follow best practice before we absolutely absolutely because this could could be anything I'm not a medical professional but I'm sure that doctors would know better what could happen and you know that would keep a person unconscious for a bit and eventually they wake up all the defibrillators that the ambulances use I'm sure that if there was a proper ambulance she would have woken up at home but there wasn't and so they simply took her to the hospital by themselves because well she's not breathing so she's probably dead I remember also in the Ansar's report there was one of the people who was interviewed who was pronounced dead he was taken away with other bodies according to his story he was taken away with other you know dead bodies you know by the people who took the dead bodies away from the tour gates eventually woke up you know later so these are examples of times when people really can be unconscious and seem like they're you know they've passed on but if you would simply just wait for a medical professional to ensure that they are you know dead before pronouncing them dead and then taking them to the morgue those processes are really what that and I can imagine that there's been other situations where people get but what if it was a miracle a miracle miracles do happen yeah right okay anyway those are our top trending stories this morning we'll take a short break when we come back after press kicks off where we share with you the major stories making headlines across 9j here this morning good morning once again
