They're the ones that keep it flowing. I mean the the the Technological advancement that we have experienced over the years has really really changed and transformed how businesses are Being run, you know, because before you just have to maybe go somewhere now So everybody can see that small businesses are paying that extra attention if it is immediate There's somebody I order my gadgets from on Instagram, you know my laptop case my everything Immediately you send message but he's already responding if he's anyway in the middle of the night They are responding he would deliver immediately they deliver before you pay, you know So everybody's putting that extra, you know just to make sure that the customer is satisfied because truly customer is king So I mean any latest thing you can do as a small business to keep the business going, right? So we're gonna be discussing customer on Friday. So just to help you to start the year off on the good notes But hey quickly, what do we find in the news? So My new story, okay Okay, so For me today Ogun denies article access to stadium for rally So basically Pili P had made a request to the MKO of your last stadium on On the third of January and they wanted to use the stadium on the 19th of January this year for a rally and They didn't get any response So they had said that I think they said in their letter They had previously made a request April last year to use the stadium But for some reason they had not gotten any response, but in these time around they were denied So what the state government in Ogun state said was that they were doing a major renovation At the stadium so no rally can be held at that time But apparently the Sunday before that response or before the letter was sent back to PDP They said that a football match was held at that particular stadium So if a ball match was held at that particular stadium just the Sunday before the letter came in How come you're saying that a major renovation is currently happening? So apparently it's not sitting well Ogun is in what state now that APC state And you know so I mean these things are the things you should they should get used to it by now I mean there was a state that refused Peter B or something for mentioning the stadium He went on to the streets now. I can't remember what state it was now He went into the streets So just be be creative because you should that you should anticipate things like this of any political party No, ma what do you find for us in the news? It's not my day Okay today Yes, I'm here. Go ahead. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you Okay, so I found something rather disturbing in the news today About a man who was arrested on US TV after a toddler filmed waving a gun Now the man has been Arrested in Indiana after his four-year-old son appeared Be wearing a nap he was seen waving a gun. His name is Shane Osborne and he's 45 and He was charged with neglect After the neighbors had reported a child the child in the whole way carrying what they believed to be a handgun And for some of us who are able to watch this video It was very disturbing to see I don't know about you But if you have had a handgun before you would know how heavy it is So for this child to be waving a gun that was loaded I think he had about 15 rounds in it, but it wasn't Activated but that was disturbing because about knowing About the consequences of holding it and obviously would have seen an adult Using it for him to be able to do what he was doing with it already shows sign that this child has been living in an endangered environment and It just tells you all the more how unsafe The the world that we live in today is Well, the man has been arrested and People be charged to court and It's just a call for parents to continue to be vigilant because a lot is going on and anything can happen with one moment of Distraction anything can happen. So that that's the news that I found today quite disturbing But that's what it is So my new story is the fact that Lagos leads as Nigeria reports 42 new COVID cases The Nigerian Center for Disease Control NCDC has confirmed 42 new COVID Infection in the country in the last two weeks Lagos State reported the highest number of cases With 24 new infections within the period from December 31st to January Excuse me to January 6th So they have also confirmed that the country has recorded, you know between January 7th and 13th We recorded 29 new cases and these new cases were reported from about 15 from Lagos as usual FCT had about five, Kano had four, Nassarawa three, Carduna one and play two one. The new cases takes the country's total Total COVID-19 infections to 266,492 It also reports that the country has reported 3,155 deaths so far While 259,858 cases have been discharged across 36 states of the FCT. You know all of a sudden there was a wave of flu Even me I caught it. Yeah, so go ahead and just preserve us. Let's move on Okay, so what I found in the news was This disqualification of PETA will be I don't understand it really But yeah, the National Rescue Movement has dragged the presidential candidate of the Labor Party in the 2023 General Election, Peter Orbit to cut over alleged possession of dual citizenship the plaintiff is praying to the The plaintiff is praying in the court for the order of the disqualification of OB from the presidential race on the ground of breach of the 1999 constitution and asked for an order of perpetual Injection the truth is I don't see any reason why Peter I mean fair enough why he should be disqualified for dual citizenship, but The APC presidential candidate has had so many scandals to his name And we don't see anybody. We don't even hear anybody talking about it Actually, we don't hear anybody questioning him. We don't hear anybody saying I mean asking the right questions because really Peter Orbit is running a good race if we're being honest for several reasons, but this is not enough reasons to disqualify his entire work I don't think this is enough People will dig up any dirt on you, but it is actually wrong. It's against the law I haven't read the story. Is it true that he has dual citizenship. That's what we should question because you know, I mean But wait, then again Thank you I was just coming there because most Nigerians have dual citizenship, right? I mean if you really want to be fair, but you see it's not a fair game Policies is not a good game. They will look for any dirt against you But because again, I think that's what if you're running for office, you shouldn't actually be A dual citizen. You should actually just be only a citizen of Nigeria. Nigeria. They shouldn't attach any other passport to your name I mean boy. Hey, how many of these people truly are just, you know, just Nigerians. All right So my what's in the news actually interesting Cars is somehow tied to what we're discussing today. The chairman of the of INEC Muhammad Yaqubo says twenty-three elections is an election for the young people in Nigeria I mean says so because he was breaking down the voters registration And he says the record shows that it would be highly dominated by the Nigerian youth over It says over 600k eligible voters collected their pvc's in Lagos along within the last month, right? And he said in total of ninety-four point ninety-three point four million registered voters in Nigeria out of which Thirty-seven million that's about thirty-nine percent are young people between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four He then went on to say then thirty-three point four million or you can put it at thirty-five point three percent Between the ages of thirty-five and forty-nine So in total the percentage of young voters, right comes to about seventy-five point three nine percent So truly that is why they will go and tell you that Peter will be is a door citizen because again It seems like the the feedback from the streets, you know on the streets a lot of young people Put in their way You know doing all sorts of things just you know to For for Peter will be and thankfully they've extended the collection of the pvc to end on the 29th of January And you know, so I'm excited about the The the wave like Jennifer Riley said when we open the show, there's just something fresh in the air happening, right? So we're hoping that you know, it can actually translate into I think Nigeria Yes I'm just even interested in all sending a message to our leaders not so much of you know, whoever emerges Is for them to know that we truly have the power to select or elect anybody Yeah, so but we take a break now when we come back from the break we want to discuss The topic of the day stay with us. We'll be right back
