 Welcome back to the Breakfast in Plus TV Africa. It's time when we take you through the pages of a national dailies, we call it Off the Press, and we'll be having great insight into the big stories making the rounds on our dailies this morning. We have a guest joining us via Zoom, Tunde Kolawale, a legal practitioner. Tunde, it's good to have you join us. Good morning, my sister. Thanks for having me in. Thank you. Are you probably somewhere around the Eagle Square now? Well, not really, but I was monitoring the news via television and radio channels last night as well. All right, that's on the lighter note. Let's start off with a daily independent newspaper. APC Delegate Elect Presidential Candidate, that's what you find on the daily independent newspaper, and how Nigeria can save poultry industry by association. Our shootings, WHO to support FMC on door government. You don't need medicine if you eat white. NAVDAC tells Nigerians. That's cool. And just before I move away from that, another header says, Adebutu Bala Mbaad, 23 PDP Guba candidates get certificate of return. Court case still stall Kano and Eboi. Court nullifies Eboi rescheduled PDP primaries and declares OD Guba candidate. You have to see official STUM APC convention and Orwar Masaka, a Keredolu releases figure of casualties, vows to hunt down perpetrators. Jigawa APC Delegate dies in Abuja. That was also one of the highlights of the presidential primaries, very sad and unfortunate incident. But that's the much we can take this morning on the daily independent newspaper. All right, let's move over to the next newspaper. Of course, we have The Guardian this morning on the program. Not too much, as usual, the focus and intention on the activities right there in Abuja, the Eagle Square, where the ruling party, the other progressives, congresses, having this presidential primary, maybe that gives us some indication as to where the state of journalism in Nigeria is today. There's a lot going on that can still be written about. But it's just a front page. Consensus fails as 14 as parents on ballot of APC presidential ticket. Akpabio and Mosul fire me for others, step down for Tinibu. Oshibajo defies pressure to step down for Tinibu. Buhari rallies support for candidates with best chances. Tinibu pledges to unite Nigerians, tackle insecurity. I didn't come this far to chicken out, Bello insists. Ono decries marginalization of Indigo. Laon seeks delegates support, says parliamentarians make the best leaders. Hire me, but fire me if I fail. Amishi tells delegates. Bakare leads delegates on moments silence for our victims, insists on not stepping down. EFCC officials storm Eagle Square. Right, we'll look at more of the stories coming on that front page. 22 confirmed dead. You know no church attack as UN Secretary General. Others condemn killing, really sad one. 600 million persons fall ill, 420,000 others die globally from toxic foods. IPOB raises the alarm over alleged plan to seize guns in Southeast and MKO's son, Kola, pledges commitment to nation building, which is after he merged presidential candidate of one of the political parties. Mark Indy announces Bio Lawau as running mate for 2023, governorship polls are the headlines on the front page of the Guardian. Time to bring in Tunde Kola Walei, our guest analyst for this morning. Tunde Kola Walei, the big one, the All Progressives Congress presidential primary, or what they call it, a special convention holding right there, the Eagle Square in Abuja. Your thoughts on all the people that have summarized, the people that have summarized the speeches by all the aspirants and the fact I think the Guardian's focus is on that the consensus arrangement failed or the consensus plan failed. The president's clarion call was not heated and it was everyone going for broke, 14 of them. Well, you and I will remember that before the convention and eventual meeting began, there was so much anxiety in the land, all of course, who are not people for the question, or due to what is going to become of the way to, if they are unable to get their ass together. So surprisingly, they were able to win at this time and most of them did like a gentleman. They arranged the convention to select the presidential candidate, eventually to play without any major e-cups. The only e-cups I could see was when the vice president, as I told you in your shift back home, I arrived at the convention ground and there was great amount of gritty delegates. The delegates from Wicca State, other than chair, the vice president, they booed him. Why did he take the delegates? Who were supporting him? They didn't when they were shouting, they have won, they have won, they have won. And then of course too, you see, my wife, she had just stood up to deliver his speech. And he nearly failed them. And it would appear that there was tremor in his two hands and nodded, which might be signs of the Packington disease. Well, Parker is like the class leader to me, he decided to remember all those two trials and the Catholic talk to them in their work. Well, the switch of the marker is there, the APC convention as the mayor, and delegates are ready to cause their vote. It is our hope that the best winner will win this convention. But now too, we saw good organization. The OEC was a carnival like, not like in course during the PPP convention. This is a sign of maturity, which will encourage all the politicians, whether they will be in the OEC, whether they will be in the PPP. So through the path of truth, the era of religious, Catholicism, martyrs and guns, as convention's grand, as winners of voting for candidates for flagged era, should be a sign of the path, 22 or 30 years, when she started this policy. But tragically, I never saw any of the carnivists. Let me explain for you a little bit about that. Clearly I like the direction which they want to take Nigeria to. Most of them in their city were too afraid to bring the egos of President Mohammed of Guari to the managed catch-up, the fundamental issues that examined the country on the subject. And all of them wanted help to pass President Mohammed of Guari for his job well done, and that they were going to continue on the path in which he is leading the country to. And he asked, okay, what is the good path? And President Mohammed of Guari could be said to have led the country. We have monumental insecurity in our hands. Unemployment, Catholicism is said, put the insecurity sign up in the face. The infrastructure is as deployable as it was when he came into power. About seven years ago. All right, so let's quickly look at the Nigerian Tribune this morning. Presidential primary APC convention suffers hiccups, voting drags, that's boldly written on the Nigerian Tribune. Now you have delegates from only three states had voted as of 3.52 a.m., I mean, up until this moment, I'm sure that voting is still going on. Apabio, Amoshoof, Fiami, Bankolei, all the step down for Tunubu, Nicholas, Felix steps down for the vice president, Osibajo. The best doesn't have to get the prize. Adamous Quartet, governor's gang up against me, Yahya Bello alleges. And these are some of the riders you find this morning. Don't let PDP drag Niger backwards. Buhari tells APC delegate. Or what, 22 dead, 52 in hospital. Akiri Dolu is quoted on that, verifying the figures or the casualties. Attack will be thoroughly investigated. The IGP is also quoted to say that. Mackenday picks Biolawal as running mate for 2023 elections. Full on the attack, I didn't, I don't need your prophecy. Soludo replies Catholic priest. Tension as Okada riders go on rampage in Lagos. And we just come down underneath, below the front page of the Nigerian Tribune. Breakthrough for cancer treatments as U.S. drugs trial records 100% success. And DSS rescues abducted Kanwe, APC senatorial candidates mother in Jigawa, universal basic education and marks 2 billion Naira for 2022 nationwide schools personnel audit. The headlines you have this morning, but let's start off with the, away from the APC primaries and all of the consent. The tension as Okada riders go on rampage in Lagos. And we're talking about that clash that happened yesterday in Idiaraba. What are your thoughts? What can we do at this point in time? Well, it could be difficult for the government to enforce the ban on Okada riders on Lagos for so many reasons. One is constitutional and the other one is self-inflicted injury. The constitutional issue is this. What government supposed to ensure that people have to use up livelihoods? And most of the people that will find livelihoods in Okada today, it is because they want to be able to earn a living. So when you demand people the opportunity to earn a living, they are likely to put up a very simple system. That is all we have seen in Idiaraba in Lagos yesterday and the day before. For the more you and I know, as under our constitution, you cannot restrict any Nigerian citizens from moving from one part of the country to settle or to work or to do business. When you do that, any government that does that is likely to impure very, very serious viability in terms of imprisonment on the freedom of movement of Nigerian citizens. For the more you and I don't know, the Okada riders are created not also by politicians. Each time they are doing a lecture, the STC especially will mobilize the Okada riders to vote for them, they give them trade cards, they give them teachers, they give them class amendments. Now that they have become a minor, it is difficult. But the 10 people have only supported them. But the 10 people have only used them during the lecture. But the 10 people want them to vote for them when the ratio comes to 2023. So really put the truth down. I think something else, I was taking out all the Okada riders all over the place. For the more you and I do know that the Okada riders issue is also very complex. So they assume that the national union of road transport workers, the road transport workers, and some of these unlined transport units have also been replaced and all that. Even from the process that you get from the Okada, they run the union through the process that they get from the Okada. And if that is, you also know that most members of the transport union are card carry members, especially of the APC as a political party. And it has always been said, guys, it has to come back when there are issues. And the transport union are critical stakeholders in the APC, for example, and most of the political parties in particular. And behind the transport union, the money that the Okada, that the union connect from the Okada riders is not just meant for the union's loan. With zero effect, the police, if it's in a net, portray concern in it. It has also been a net that the community leaders, the office, the office and the valet, they also portray concern. We have also been taught that some of these firms go as far as they use to power, to fund the different political parties. Not too long ago, in the Prime Minister's time, published a copy report that negates the loan. That we don't make as much as 26 billion on an annual basis, which is enough money to fund the budget of 650 Nigeria. Before now, all the things that's been going into politicians, individual valets and community leaders and union leaders' pockets, this is the situation of things. As you now look up overnight and say that your valet is there, I suspect, or I am to say, as those of you very, very serious citizens from those who live on the property that they kept from the Okada as a means of transportation. Or the E-Corp in the SDC, where it should be expected it was removed in mammoth clouds. We have three delegates from Central and Central Lopuk on me, from all over the country. And the convention, I thought maybe we should have started very early, I think, about six or four in the evening, even quite between until about 10 at night. So the list that we are seeing in the delegate candidate vote for their respective candidates through the end of the stage. I think what is important is that they have been able to maintain the team and we have also seen some more diagonals in the way and manner that they are casting their votes to be able to maintain them to the end of the convention to make candidates a magazine and all that. Well, we should give them kudos. And then we should also pray that the best candidates will emerge from the convention of the E-C-C who will be able to square up with the candidates of the C-P-T. The proper country is a very serious problem economically, socially, politically. It is only the best hand among the different political clums that choose to get the flag. So run for the election. Unfortunately, with all the candidates that I saw in the E-C-C, I'm not too comfortable with any of them. I don't see any of them that can really take my leader out of the woods, out of the economic nightmare that we are in the country today for me or the candidate to a part and part of the problem. And if they are part and part of the problem, I don't see them suddenly becoming the solution of a life. Which is a massacre. It is a tragic. No one could expect that kind of a thing will happen in the first century. As in broad daylight, certain causes will match properly to the church and where worships are taking place and such a killing of some people, including children. It was a golden tide that I saw children to drink water or women to drink milk and they were all men out of our culture. So I'm here for this. From CoCoCo, I mean, carried out in that sort. I suspect that the visit, the rendered visit that was made so long may have been targeted. I can go back to the news. The man was one of the people that first came out with the with the amotecum course. And then the amotecum course was very active in the industry. So that they could use the level of criminality and to take in place in the forest and arrange some of these towns and cities in the industry. And you know, I can tell you it's from it's from the world. Secondly too, it's very rampant and loud about the needs for the Khazan and Syria to get the presidency from 2023. This may be a way to punish him or to show him that certain person has the capacity to clip his wings. But more importantly, I am disappointed that the whole community was a very large town that when those attack was when the attack was taking place and when the people were getting off of the place that the community began running around to give the people who came to this course carried out a talk with me a case and they hunt them down. We were about to let the men have checked their meal and they gave it to to the best of my knowledge our world's best is a lot of very good hunters. They also have the OCC hill there and the retired soldiers, retired policemen. There are also some police stations around the vicinity of the church near the Khazan to play. What were these people looking? When they feel like this is happening what community was supposed to do is to seal off all the roads that these in and out of the road and then deprive them of materials in there and then the hunters will go into their room and whatever they can lay their hands on whether they be cleaned down whether they cook a little night and give the people a good time in the church to be run for their money. This is where the hunters come like the animals are there I am sure it is in the proper signal to whether maybe planning in future to also carry out that kind of or any other kind of atrocity on any community in Nigeria. Our people are to those eyes they are always too afraid they are always too scared they don't want to lose their care that people will be killing your case men and then you start to go and hide under your bed and allow them to kill them and don't work anywhere like that and feel disappointed with your whole community in their approach or in their reaction to what has happened in their community. All right, Tunde Kolo, let's quickly move back to the first paper which is the Daily Independent we looked at today and departure from the politics of the day with the Nigerian poultry industry in focus this headline how Nigeria can save poultry industry by association and the paper talks about this idea to save the poultry industry from what it's currently facing. It says that this is definitely not a good time for the most farmers in the country especially those in the poultry industry as they express worries that if nothing is cogent is done to salvage the sector it may be difficult to salvage it. Now for some years now the paper says farmers have lamented the various challenges the industry face and there seems to be no meaningful response from the government they said. The farmers paper continues have identified some of the challenges which according to them are too numerous ranging from high cost of grains and feed costs to poor product pricing due to the perishable nature of the products. Others are poor disease management and control you have avian influenza poor bed genetic potential inaccurate industry data poor regulation amongst others. So over to you Tunde Koloale these obviously are not the best of times for the poultry industry in Nigeria especially with the issue of the cost of feeds feed which is what, yes over to you. Honestly speaking what is happening outside talk is embarrassing it is unexpected because if we are in a situation that plants that current disease problem when they are about to come or when they are happening they would have the nibble so we are not in that area and you also know that poultry is a very good and very vital source of protein you reach the chicken you also get the egg in there most of the conventional industry depends on the health of the industry so the truth of the matter is with all the challenges that the farmers are having access to and get into their farms in northern Nigeria and in southern Nigeria they are able to grow corn, maize and some shell beans and some of these other farm products that are used to produce the poultry kits furthermore too the cost of the grain has gone up beyond the reach of those very poultry persons I mean the produce of animal foods and chicken foods again I am also told I have now that not very much change that the poultry animal to require to maintain good health and grow healthy are also very expensive now how do we now solve this problem? we need to be able to get the farmers back to their farms so as to be able to produce the ingredients for producing the poultry trees we also require to subsidize the cost of importing the drugs and the poultry animals the required to be able to live a very healthy life it's a very very tricky situation tricky in the sense that except we solve the problem of insecurity except we are able to get the farmers back to the farm except we are able to bring in drugs and vitamins that the best require for every group very cheaply also to die the challenges in that area is never a little to solve whereas if you are able to address this millions of migrant children who will read agricultural science who will read animal science who will read their soil science we could drug them we could encourage them we could empower them to go back to farm and then begin to re-apport the animals as the needs of occupation as the needs of previous jobs and best without being able to do this I am sure or I can say categorically that we might not be finding life at the end of this order security is very key to solving this problem Alright, let's quickly move away from that now and so you look at the front page of the Nigerian Tribune it talks about breakthrough for cancer treatment as the United States drug trial records 100% success Well, since the D.C. Buddha the answer I will know that all over the world cancer kills millions of people and there are all sorts of cancers in cancer, vicar cancer breast cancer road cancer our illustrative genepower rise of social cancer the wife of a general our environmental leader a loveable lady died of vicar cancer and so many other persons and some girls the scientists in other parts of the world are no less than the world unlike our scientists around here who seems not to be doing any research and finding solutions to some of these deadly diseases if these people are able to come out with this new way of treating cancer like they have done for the vicar cancer and some of these vicar cancer that I am aware the non-drift injections or the non-drifter thing that kind of limits the rampaging method of the different cancers that we have especially those cancers that are breast cancer it will be good for the humanity as a whole and then we should all approach Tunde Kala Wale quickly because we are just going to round this round this off now but can you also share your thoughts on this where you have NAVDAC saying that you don't need to you don't need medicine if you eat rice I mean this is actually a statement on Nigerians NAVDAC is saying you don't need medicine if you eat rice no that is not true that's a very easy lazy pandemic approach of looking at it so it's called preventive medicine no there are some diseases that are not amenable to put treatment I'll give you an example those who are born in Jury those who have chest like cancer those who have a heart problem I'm not sure there's any amount of food that we can begin to eat or consume or a diet regime that we can maintain that can give you some of those replicating health challenges that I've mentioned autism is there mental illness is there and so many other kinds of diseases that are not amenable to just merely living on the regime of a vegetable or vitamin or what have you the truth of the matter is that a combination of medicine whether Aba or whether the Autodesk Western medicine and good food have problems of the very application to really preaching or managing whatever diseases people may have it's wrong for NAVDAC to start misinforming the public as they gather to go about teaching or managing whatever health challenges that they may have that's what the UNEVAC has said we need a combination of things to be able to manage some of these very early things and to do this Right, Tunde Kola Wale thank you very much for your time I would have wish you had more time to take your your thoughts on someone who is your I wish we would have had more time to take your thoughts on other stories of course making the rounds in the papers but of course we don't have all the day we want to thank you very much for joining us and look forward to having you join us again thank you very much alright we have more discussions coming up right here on the breakfast so we'll be back after this break please stay with us
