 So, where do we begin with our first story that we are going to bring to you from Off the Press? We should be looking at some of these stories that are making the headlines this morning. So, let's start with the Punch newspaper. The Punch newspaper leads with the headline, Walkers' Lament Hardship Score Buhari Governor's Law on Welfare. There you have it. The writers there, high cost of living, high cost of living has made nonsense of minimum wage. Exactly what we're talking about. 40% pay rise, unions. We have another writer there. Unions. Pensioners still earning 500 Naira and 750 monthly economy harsh under Buhari says retirees. Right. You have going down, you have opposition's rigging claim fraudulent. FG insists. Still talking about the just concluded elections. Well, has it concluded yet? That remains to be seen. You find details of that on page 8 of that newspaper. Alright. Let's move on. Okay. We have other stories also from other newspapers that we have here. Let's see what we got. We've got something from Nature News. Nature News. AFDB builds $25 billion world's largest solar zone. And under that story, you will find where it is written to provide electricity for 250 million people and then President tasks U.S. diversity class on global warming. Okay. We're hoping that that solar plant should be in Nigeria. We have all the sun that we need for that. Rainfall forecast. Federal government wants of impending flood. I do hope that everybody is listening because we were warned about thunder and lightning. And a few days afterwards, it struck in Benway state. And instead of the people knowing that they have been informed that this may happen, they went and buried two people alive saying that they were the cause of the thunder that killed, unfortunately killed an entire family. Okay. Climate change. It's unwise for Nigeria to abandon fossil fuels now. So we should continue to mine our oil. We also have federal government orders, no vaccination policy for control of bed flu in fowls. Okay. We have a story on benefits of leafy greens. When you go natural, you go healthy. And then, okay, those are about the major headlines on Nature News. We're hoping it will read up on them and many more. Yes. So from Nature News, we go to the Nation newspaper with leads with You Remain Saw Losers. Federal government tells PDP and LP. You Remain Saw Losers. Don't pre-empt tribunal outcome. Those are some of the writers. Opposition parties fire back. It's the government and the opposition parties going back and forth on these issues of Accusations. The federal government has repeatedly, I think this war of words. We saw this war of words kicking up last week. Kicking up last week between the leading party, the ruling party and the opposition parties. All right. So on the side, one of the minor headlines there, Sudan evacuation. 637 Nigerians stranded at Boda would write us their Egypt delays clearance. Federal government moves Port Sudan route. On top, you have APC legal advice that recommends Lukman's expulsion. You find the full story on page five. Worker's engine room of growth says Laon. You also find that on page five of the Nation newspaper. Three are board students for UK exchange program. You find that on page six. And Rivers Fest to host Tinnubu says also you find details of that on page six. I think that's about it for the Nation's newspaper. Okay. Worker's lament eight years of unkept promises. That's the Guardian. We're going to the Guardian right now. The Guardian newspaper says workers lament eight years of unkept promises as minimum wage loses value. You can find that on page six of the Guardian. We also have a story on over 2,500 undocumented Nigerian students stranded in Sudanversities. That one is on page two. Nigeria loses $4.5 billion yearly to foreign artisans in construction industry. You find that story also on page 18. Then why Lagos fund demolished buildings in Ajau estate? Or demolished, rather, buildings in Ajau estate. The Federal Air Force Authority of Nigeria and Lagos have demolished some buildings. Again, Lagos Ibadon Road Repair Misses Facialized Dateline. That is page nine of the Guardian. And then NIN issuance nears $100 million as government intensifies data harmonization about time. We do hope they harmonize this data so that we don't need to queue in for a lot of things that we need to just get easily. We're glad to know you're still there and watching the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. And today is mindset Monday. We're hoping you're going to have a positive mindset towards everything. And one of the things is today we're celebrating workers, the world over. So happy workers day to you. And we're being joined by a public affairs analyst all the way from River State, Opunabo in Kottaria. Welcome. Good morning and welcome to the program Opunabo. Good morning and good morning and good morning. Happy workers day. Yes, yes, yes. I can see the way you said that, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can be a conflicted person. You know the answer already. Are you a happy Nigerian Worker Opunabo? Let's start with that. Well, first of all, I'm happy that I'm sad that I'm self-employed. Okay. Well, let's kick-start this review. Because of the environment that makes it almost impossible for users to try. Let's kick-start the review of the headlines with what relates to what we're just talking about. Worker's Lament, from the point, Worker's Lament Hardship, Score Buhari Governor, Buhari and Governor's Lou on Worker's Welfare. That would be great. Yes. I'm listening. Yes. Those were the headlines. Are you also of the opinion, scoring the present administration so low? This outgoing President Muhammad Buhari's administration low on Worker's Welfare. When you say low, on a scale of 0 to 100, in an exam, you score 40, you say you score low. This administration has performed that decimally. This administration has failed Nigerians. There is really, it is one administration that will be found one thing. At the end of this tenure, which is going to be tonight. And the worst in the history of this country, including the energy it gives. It could go together. Are you talking of Worker's Welfare? Are you talking about health? Are you talking about education? Is the most corrupt administration of the country? At least, I've seen a lot. I'm 53. So, I've seen most, I was born into the military era. I've seen the first civilian administration, the second and this one. No comparison whatsoever. And the most annoying thing is that they try themselves at the best, especially when the likes of Lieb Mohamed and the special assistant of media and stuff. And at times I begin to wonder if they are living in the moon, or if they have some level of inertia. We have never had anything bad in this country. Not just Worker's Welfare. The leadership is cataclysmic. There is nothing to write to my body. We are the president that is constantly on the long soldier. He's either in one country, even if a commission and another country's son is getting married, he wants to go. And I have a belief that, even when not invited, he will put a call across to say, invite me out. Are you not being too harsh on the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? The boss talks at his table. The boss talks at his table. And at no point in time can the president generate himself from whatever blame. Because if the country is being run smoothly, and to the satisfaction of everybody, we also take the blame. So you cannot... Yes, someone would say to you that when he came into office, Nigerian workers were receiving 18,000 minimum wage, but he moved it up to 30,000 a month. Okay. 18,000 minimum wage. People were able to buy bag of rice. People were able to buy fuel without stress. People were able to pay school fees. People were able to pay rents, buy cars, at 18 Naira minimum wage. Now you have 13 Naira minimum wage. We cannot afford a bag of rice. You see how illogical, unreasonable that has been this. The 18 Naira of that time, before he got into office, he would like him to... 200 Naira of today. So it's all an attempt of this man, probably of logic, for anybody to come up with such an argument. He must have intellectual anemia to talk about that. Because the 18,000 Naira of that time is about 200 Naira of today. How much was a liter of people? How much was a liter of diesel? So how can you think that human is not tenable at all? At all. This is a government that is rather less, in all aspects. But how much did you have in our desire before now? And how much do we have now? And the question... There's not the wrong but the question is, the rationale behind the borrowing. That's the question. The one is borrowing so far, what have you done with that? How have they impacted positively on Nigeria? Most of these monies are borrowed to test or line their pockets. You can imagine right now, there are what in contrast of how many billions of dollars. There's not the wrong government is a continuum, you can argue that. But like I rightly said, is it reasonable? The reasonableness in that borrowing is what we can argue. Otherwise there's not the wrong borrowing. But when you borrow, what are you using the money for? And you're going to transfer the whole burden to your successor you didn't come in government. Which I don't want to talk about right now. Because that's got the focus. That's got the focus. Okay, let's move. We are going to hand over to... Oh my God. Justin, ask me. All right. I understand your passion. But let's move because of the brevity of time for this section of the program. Let's move to another headline. And that's the one on the nation newspaper. The exchange of words between the federal government and the opposition parties. You remain sole losers. Federal government tells PDP and Labour Party and the opposition fire back. How do you respond to this? Yes, yes. The war of words. Well, for now, I'm like a declared... I'm a tenable... The president in that... In very complete... I... Without a presentation I would say that there was some level of complicity. INET and the ATC. Because if you take on the advisement, the issues... INET flouted its own guidelines. They are building their dam power wreck. When the head is rotted, the body will be rotted. The Ademara Red took appeal from the INET chairman. What is their guideline? Why? You must announce the results from this... Oblate results from the polling units. And before you announce, you must ensure that what you have in the people is exactly what the... The polling officers or what are they called? HAH. And the party agents are going to come home. In that same place, in most cases, results are announced by the INET chairman without verification from the polling units. Well, this is half online. So why are you getting the wreck? Ademara Red. What is good for the good is good for the dam. If you can do it, why can't I do it? Because there was a breach of all the guidelines and law to tell you that. Abidisho, they were prepared to compromise their lessons. He went and brought the Red, whoever, to convey materials who is a non-member of the APC until they went to court to stop it. They didn't need to even be educated to know that that is not proper, that you're going to be accused of going back. They said they were going to escort you back. So they didn't think of any method at all. What sort of ludicrous excuse did you give? That's what I'm telling you. That Abidisho prepared to compromise their lessons. So when the lines of law in Mohammedan Co. come up to say they are solidars, they are also solidars. Because their election was rigged. Rigged. Be held out. You have enough evidence to bolster this. Enough, more than enough. Also that the elections were rigged. The Divas were made to mediate the process. The Divas? It did not. The Damawarek has written to the IGP from hiding that he did no wrong. So let's see how that plays out. Wherever he's hiding from, he wrote a letter to the APC. That is the same thing. Mahmoud Akubi said he did no wrong. This election is even worse than Mauritius Woot's election. If it was election, for how much? Three hundred and one billion? Why are there people like this? They don't think we are fools? Everybody has an opinion. It was true from the tragedy. And the tragedy has come to an end. Okay. Open up. Okay. Look, you people try to trigger. When I say if I'm not talking about I'm in Nigeria, trivialize these issues. But, look, we are headed slowly but steadily I've been touch us before then there would be another. Because when a man is pushed to the wall, a buses back with him double that. Nigerians are suffering. So we are expected, we thought that this election, the last election was going to be all out of the mountain, of distant. Sorry, the fatigue of distant. I think of this and take out the mountain of hope. But it failed. Our host dashed, dream shattered. And promised of a brighter future. Keep right. And you know when frustration sets in, it's not all about trying to back the pressure, trying to back Nigeria. It's going to be a spontaneous way. So we should not to realize this issue. And when they talk now, they say, oh, they want to see you for trying to plot two and all. What public are willing? Well, the cases are in court now. It's uncency. Yes, like rain that justice will be served but not judgment. I don't want judgment. Because that will definitely not justify the situation. Then justice be served. People are not just, if you are a blessing, justice must not only be seen, but must, that's already done, but not be seen to have been manifested to God. You know that even the market woman, your kinder rider, should be satisfied that justice was served. We don't want judgment. We want justice. So we are waiting for the Supreme Court. As a Supreme Court, because that is the last bus stop. We are waiting for the Supreme Court. And not the in-state kind of justice, judgment. When you have somebody paying for it, the Supreme Court didn't give votes to the government. We don't want that kind of, we don't want the kind of, I call you a judgment. Where you said you cannot sign to the mental court, I call you a sign to the mental court. You can sign to the court and they exceed it. The court said he's a candidate. We don't want, not want judgment. Which is in violation of the electoral act. When a man is pushed to the wall, he bounces back with the government. The Supreme Court is up to the last hope. We are waiting. Okay. So let's look at some other headlines now. We're talking about Sudan and what is happening in Sudan there. We have headlines, one of them on the nation newspaper saying 637 Nigerians stranded at the border there. And also on another newspaper, the Guardian is saying that 2,500 Nigerians are undocumented in Sudan. But the budget was made for 5,500 Nigerians. Now these figures are coming out. What's your response to the fact that Nigerians are stranded at the border and that there are some others that we didn't even know about? The way we know the number of Nigerians in this country. Hello? Can you hear me? Yes. Do you know the number of Nigerians in this country? Do we take record? We don't even know. Today we are over 150 million. Tomorrow over 200 million. That's tomorrow over 300 million. But the third budget is a country pie. If you don't know the number of Nigerians here, can you know the number of Nigerians in another country? We don't know. Even your governors don't give you the number of people living in their streets. It's only a conjecture. And now census has been postponed. Sorry? And now census has been postponed. The census exercise that we're told was going to be... No, the only sense was to ensure that because the government means the budget for the census is prepared so that those that will be a packing gift, a lot of people, those that will ensure, work behind the scenes to ensure the budget is approved and all those... Allegedly. That's the only sense. They knew... Well, let's say the states are allegedly... Because they'll give you a fine of 5 billion. So please say this. I said it. You didn't say it. It is not plus two billion. That's why we have to use allegedly to... That's what I'm saying. I said it. It's not plus two billion. Because MBC will soon give you 5 billion. I said it. I'm repeating it. On the structure of life, they will give you 5 billion. Now, back to the issues. The truth is, yes, most times Nigeria's emigrants. There is this illegal movement as a result of the hardship in this country. To different countries. So there are some illegal ones. And then there are some illegal ones you might not necessarily... I want to be honest, necessarily know the figures. You can only know the figures of the illegal ones. No doubt about that. But the government will hide under that. That's why I keep the reasons. The truth is, the Nigerian government does not know the number of Nigerians living in this country and living elsewhere. It's based on conscience. Now, talking of evacuees, have you heard that in evacuating the citizens, America had issues? Canada had issues? Newtale had issues. Have you ever heard of that? When you fail to plan, you have to plan to fail. I said the government is fraudulent. It doesn't know what to do. First and foremost, why the deleterinates? Why the delay? I heard, because the former minister for external affairs, actually, Ebola came in. He said most science, even the embassy, that starved up for me. And so it's difficult for even the ambassador and high commissioners to function. Difficult. Because ordinarily, when they realize that this might snowboard into a new world, it is the duty of the ambassador or high commissioner who is representing the president to start preparing for evacuation, especially in countries like Sudan. They were relaxed. Did nothing. But I believe he would have evacuated his family member. Not possible. Long before. So that tells you the way that our government treats its people. The legality with which lies are treated. Let me do with which lies are treated in this country. Kill one man. Look, kill one man in Nigeria. Kill one American. If you're not careful, there are the war. And within 19 minutes, it's too much because then technology has not improved. It will be 20 seconds in and out. Just kill one American. Look at where one American's life was treated. How they came into this country and took him away. Yes. And the second government came out, came from there to lie that they were wealthy. I remember that incident clearly. Let's move on to the Guardian newspaper. And one of the low headlines there, smaller headlines says, again, Lagos Ibadu Road Repair, Mrs. Fashola's Deadline. The Lagos Ibadu Road Repair, Mrs. Fashola's Deadline. Give us your take on that. You know, there is this virus in this government. Fashola has a government. They form credit. Credit. But you know, don't be... I forgot how the Bible put it. Don't be on evening youth. And it got on evening youth. That is the problem. Now, also understand his limitations. It's not the chief executive. As government was the chief executive. So he performed. He called himself. But you have the virus in this planet's system that destroys everything. No matter how well-intentioned there will be a problem with the virus in this government. And that I believe is Fashola's problem. But you know, you must have gotten enough assurances from Mr. President. And the federation has to say, yes, we are going to do this. We are going to do that. But he has forgotten that he's serving in a government with misdemeanour, with words of inter-analysification and interposition. A government that has no credibility. You can't go back with what they've said. Look at the former samissi, Burakai. The NSA said what they have on ground cannot justify their mouth. Their successors said the same thing. What happened? They were rewarded. Look at Magu. They only come after you when they perceive you as an enemy. Fashola thought it was going to be once in a while. The question a lot of people say, why didn't you resign? I resigned. Fashola said, why didn't you resign? Why didn't you resign? He took Bueru, he believed Bueru, two clients. For what reason that? Sorry, let me not go and say something about it. It's a five billion dollar fund. But we're not bought in Coteria. He disraid Bueru. He had a new business of Bueru. He thought Bueru was Bueru of 2000, in 1984. He has forgotten that Bueru was not even allowed to resign. Before you go, because time is not on our side, before you go, tell us the state of the river state workers where you've resigned. The state of their welfare. Manakusa did it. Manakusa did it and changed the situation. Very, very, very bad. I was listening to your previous, I mean, I'm sorry, before we started this, before we started. Now, I'll tell you, like Ragnis said, you don't talk of bridges and saying, these are different. It's not me who did it because you elected to do it. You elected to include on the welfare of Nigeria. But then, like Jeter Steve, I keep making reference to Jeter Steve. Like Jeter Steve. Why he talked about infrastructure development, he also talked about human capital development. They've run simultaneously side by side. Jobs were created, industries were built, jobs were created. And at the same time, the roads and so on, we are being taken care of. That is government for you. You don't concentrate on the infrastructure development. It's simply because you're looking for money to further your pockets. And when you want to pay salaries and pension, you cannot come from us. So that is immaculate. You don't have to motion. Salaries are old. Pensioners are old. Is that governments? There's no governments. Why do you want to belong to this? The welfare, in fact, this is so enshrined in our constitution. The welfare is the most important thing to everybody. The bills are what you build. Are they going to be used by spirits? They are going to be done. A man who has not eaten, of what uses the bill. A man who has not eaten. Is it going to back up? So it makes no sense. I also run and build 20 bridges. Build 10 bridges. I use the money for the many times to be definitely employed. Even the British are building with no employment. First and foremost, most of them are paid 750 naira per day. This is less than 30,000 naira. And the last time when the protested, one was killed, they all disappeared. They were first arrested and detained by the police. They were not talking about by the police. So when you build bridges, I'm talking about in terms of financial gains now. Something which is less than 30,000 naira. So what kind of employment? And what level of people? The lower class, the middle class and the upper class. Those are peasants. They can never be made managers. So it's another form of slavery. So if you have to build 20 bridges, build 10. All our industries are dead. They're being set up by the state. In the 60s and early 70s, water glass was all dead. So there is employment. And there is embargo on employment in the civil service. Although some are secretly being employed. That's what I said. We are changing discrimination. So that exactly I'm not trying to encapsulate. That exactly the picture of Newcastle. Thank you so much for your analysis of Punebo in Quaterra. It's been so good listening to you. Give your insight and thoughts on these very important topics on our headlines. Well, that's the much we can take on off the press on the breakfast this morning. This day with us, we'll continue to come back with our hot topics.
