 Since the return of the Fourth Republic in Nigeria, presidential election results have always been contested at the tribunal except the 2015 presidential election. After this year's presidential election, five political parties and their candidates filed separate petitions against the results that declared Bola Ahmed the Nobel winner. The election tribunal is mandated to deliver judgments within 180 days from the date of filing of the petition but by that time the declared winner would have been sworn in. This and among among other things have raised calls for the amendment of the electoral act and we shall be speaking with a legal practitioner on that today on the breakfast and we won't just stop at that. That would be the first hot topic we'll be taking a look at. After that we'll be taking a second hot topic on Nollywood. Nigeria's Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world with more than 2,500 movies each year and an estimated annual revenue of $6.4 billion and watched all over the continent with a growing international audience. From its early days in 1992 to date the Nigerian film industry has had its roots in the country's rich traditions and culture. The breakfast this morning shall be discussing with Telman Osu a popular actress and producer about how Nollywood is helping to sustain our history and traditional values. We'll also be taking a look at some headlines on the national dailies without the press as we get joined by an analyst to critically analyze some of the headlines this morning on the breakfast. Good morning and welcome to the breakfast. It is the mindset Monday edition of the program. I am Maureen and I am Justin. Thank you. Many thanks for joining us. I trust you have yourself a wonderful Monday watch with the wet, wet Legos. Maureen you can imagine how Legos could be when it rains. Oh yes. A lot of people are already crying on radio. I listened to the radio coming this morning and the usual cry about traffic, about flooding in some parts because of bad roads and all of that and I just feel so sorry for those who are going to be stuck in traffic this morning. Those who are going to be struggling to get buses to work this morning. It's no joke but that's the story. That's just what Legos is known for. All right so we're taking a look at the theme of the day which is the influence of culture in shaping our mindset. Culture has a way of making us who we are. True, very true. Because culture is like just like a bundle of them, all that we have lent, sin, our belief, our belief system, our way of life, even the religion and the kind of food we eat, the clothes we wear, a whole lot has to do with our cultural perspective. Exactly and Nollywood has been very good at projecting our culture. Been very good at exporting our culture. Although there are also concerns that some of the things portrayed in Nollywood movies are not doing good to our culture. But we'll be taking a look at that in depth as we discuss with Telma who is a producer and an actress in the Nollywood movie industry. All right moving away from the theme of the day we have the top trending, the first top trending. FG spends one million Naira annually on each inmate at correction facilities nationwide. Well that's according to the media advisor to the Minister of Interior, Rarofa Ibechula, who made it known on Saturday in Abuja. Maureen, if just one inmate actually gets to, not only enjoys, FG gets to spend them about a million on one inmate, just imagine the number of inmates we have around the costodial correctional centers in my chair. That's like very very huge, that's massive. But although it's still arguable because I did not broken down to explain how they got to that particular one million. Is it on just their feeding or just their general upkeep? Well from what we saw that means if you're breaking down the one million annually that means each one of them gets to be spent, have a 83,303 Naira spent on each one every month. So the federal government has said it will no longer feed inmates incarcerated for breaching state laws. The states will take over from that, from the federal government in regards to feeding those who breached state laws. But Nigerians of course will no doubt jump in on this and begin to ask really you spend that much on them, do you really spend that much on them? Look at the picture there. I saw that picture some days ago and I mean my heart bled. Yeah because if you look at the condition of leaving for this inmate, it's really not a whole lot to be desired because they leave in crowded cells as it were and one million Naira, you calculated it down to about 83,000 Naira, which is even more than the minimum wage. If the federal government says it is spending 83,000 Naira, okay monthly to inmate, calculate how much it pays out, its work has 30,000 Naira. Yeah well Mr Eibu Shaladeh that the President Muhammad Ibu Harilet administration had to a large extent address the problem of inmates contracting diseases in custodial centers. The minister also decried the enormous challenges of running correctional services with huge demands for infrastructure, equipment and maintaining the welfare of inmates. However I'm sure that the federal government had provided long-term solution to the challenges. It is really something that they have to look at because if you still look at it Maureen, the part you talked about the problem of addressing the disease at the custodial center, like I had said before the living condition is really not into right home about and I don't think they really have access to medical care as at when they really need it because if one inmate gets sick, I mean it would not take a while before the pictures are gory. You know when you look at compared prisons, well I've not been to the prison, when I travel I didn't go to because I didn't anyone in prison but from what we see in their movies, it's a fact. I mean look at it, it's just not, this is not the way and the sad thing is that most of them from what we saw the figures released last week, most of them, the larger percentage of them are awaiting trial. That's the thing. Awaiting trial and you get to be in these kind of situations. And Maureen, the thing is that they could be awaiting trial for other friends, they would have even spent like five, seven years on their friends, might not even be up to that as in what they should actually spend. They've been found guilty, they've been charged. So at the end of the day, I mean what happens to the time they've wasted? What about those who would eventually be found to be innocent? Because probably they were in the wrong place at the right time or something like that. So they really need to do a lot more to help the people in prisons get a better life. Yes, they are therefore, it's supposed to be correctional isn't it? Yes, that's why it was changed from prison to correctional centers. So how do you stay in a place like that and have any kind of correctional thing going on in your head? Because they still have their rights, even as much as they are in prison. They still have rights to better life. Now there's a freedom of the human person, so they should actually not be kept like animals and just compact them in prison cells like this. It is really not healthy, it is not, like you said, it is gory, it is a nice to know that at this 21st century Nigerians are still living in such you know harrowing conditions that are correctional centers. Yeah, well moving on to the second top trend, in IGP orders, Sheryl Coutty's arrest for assaulting police officer. Well video emerged about the weekend where we saw the musician Sheryl Coutty, you know, having a very physical experience with the police man. When I saw it I was like, oh. I was shocked because it's wrong, if you look at it from all angles, it is wrong, no matter what the policeman had done. I mean, I just feel that you have no right of assaulting the police officer. First of all, he is empowered by law. If you have any dispute, there are ways of actually resolving this, but not resulting to physical assaults. Yeah, well I hear that he's gotten a lawyer, the senior advocate of Nigeria Femifalina. I understand that according to reports from the lawyer that he's going to make himself available today because I understand that he's on the run. Well these are some of the stories we heard regarding this matter and it is a serious matter. Well the judge, the court will decide how the matter would move from now because it is, if I understand correctly, it could have tracked up to three years imprisonment if found guilty. Because from the reactions I've also thrilled on this particular development, lots of people actually played in that. Even the police spokesman in Lagos was in the news and he said that it is up to the court of law to decide the fate of Sheryl Coutty and not just by police made by his colleagues in the music and of course in the movie. And I must commend the calmness of the police officer. He did not retaliate in any way. I think there was an accident from what we can see or what we heard over the weekend. There was an accident and the police man was just calm and I think we should let's wait and see how the court delivers judgment on this very sensitive matter. Of course. And the third top trending we'll move over to the top, the third top trending and that is the landlord who released this dog to attack a tenant over 45,000. It's a very sad one. He came back home and discovered that he was not allowed in. He was locked out for two good hours and eventually when he got into the compound confronted the landlord, why did you lock me out? And the landlord cautioned him that if he didn't stop questioning him, he would release his dog on him and he did just that. He did just that. I saw the very big wild dog. Yeah. I saw pictures of them and I was like, why does he have to go to that extent of a releasing his dog to attack his tenant? Even if there isn't this, but like I said, there are ways of resolving this. There you have that. The image of that. There's the dog. There's the dog. Very big dog. Attacking the poor tenant. Wow. If you look at it again, Maureen, he's just 45,000 naira. That's abuse of power. It is. On the part of the landlord. It is. That's an abuse of power. Evict him. Give him eviction notice. Do things properly. If you don't lock him in your compound anymore, you tell him to go and give him the necessary three months or one month depending on the agreement. True. And not just on leash dogs after him. It is bad. If you look at it from any angle, it is crazily bad. I can't imagine what the guy must have gone through the trauma and everything. And I'm sure he'll be scared of dogs for the rest of his life. Listen to the video yesterday. Apparently, he's been bitten by that dog before. Oh, wow. Oh, yes. He's been bitten by that dog before because when the landlord threatened to release the dog, he said, well, the dog, this will be the first time the dog will be brought in. Wow. So he's been doing that. He's been doing that. Maybe the dogs were just released at any time. There are issues. That's just bad. So, so bad. So, bad. And I hope the guy has been given medical attention and anti-babies or something because you just can't be too careful. Exactly. Yeah. Well, those are the top trends this morning. From there, we'll be taking a break to look at what the weather is like today and what it will be like. Especially if you get to leave your home, you want to know. So, you know how to prepare ready. It's wet. So, you don't need to be told that you need to get your umbrella, your boots and whatever you need to get to keep yourself warm. We'll take this weather report and be back to take a look at all the press on their headlines. Stay with us.
