 Rescue workers recover the body of Femi Oshibona, the developer of the 21-story building that collapsed in Iqoi. But who gave approval for the construction and what checks went down to ensure the building code is followed? We'll seek for answers this morning. Good morning and welcome to the breakfast on a Friday morning. Looks like it's going to be a very wet one, seeing what the weather is turning into this morning. I am Usaugi Ogbonwa. Welcome to Plus TV Africa. And I am Messi Bopou. It's good to have you join us this morning. As always, we kick off with top trending stories and I'm pretty sure you know where this is going. Yesterday, late yesterday, the body of the developer of the 21-story building in Iqoi, which collapsed, Femi Oshibona was found. Late in the evening, I had spoken with our Plus TV correspondent who was live over there in Iqoi and she of course gave us a feedback as to what exactly was going on at that time when the body was found. She had some complaints, you know, but I think we could reconnect with her this morning. Ongozika Ohai-Chesi, good morning. Can you hear us? Yes, good morning. I can hear you. Alright, so let's pick up from where we left yesterday. Share with us exactly how it played out when his body was found. Okay, so going yesterday, around six persons, the body of Mr. Femi Oshibona was found at a spin. And around six persons, we discovered some Nigerian and Nigerian army officials, they arrived at a spin and there was a lot of noise at that time so it was obvious that someone's body that is very important in the state has been found and we believe that it was the body of Mr. Femi. And a few minutes later, the rescue officer stopped walking, you know, and around 7.45, his body was leaving the spin at that time and everybody was just complaining why they stopped walking and all that. So when the body left that place, there is this guy there. He has been there since Monday. He's looking for his friend that was trapped in there. And there was a mouthful between him and the Nigerian army official at that time that why did they stop walking when the man's body left the spin and everybody was just chipping out of the building. You know, so there was a little problem at that time. The man was fighting with the Nigerian army official that they should start walking immediately. So it's unfortunate that they stopped walking at that time. Yeah, they made it look like it was all about Mr. Femi Oshibona. That that was an upshot when they were searching for. Every other person did not matter at that time. Well, their family were all around there crying, you know. Telling them to continue walking. They should bring out the remaining bodies that are there. So they can be able to identify their family that was stuck in there. So after that time, did walk ever continue or that was the end for the day? They did continue. At that time, I wasn't happy with what was happening. They were trying to fight with that. And I went all the way down to Palomo. I had to come back to the scene because I forgot something. 30 minutes later, they still haven't started walking. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Thank you very much. She's still going to be on ground there to give feed as to what exactly is going on over there. It's really, really sad. I did speak with her yesterday and she had the same. You know, narration about walking put on hold when the body of the developer was found. Which, of course, entirely wrong, you know, because every single person who is missing and those family members who were there would continue. And of course, would continue to hope that they can still find, you know, their family members alive. But it's really sad. We've repeatedly spoken about time. And so every 10 minutes, 15 minutes, that work, you know, stops. You know, you're putting that person's life even at more risk. So it's really, really, it's really, really heartbreaking. But, you know, the breaking news is that Femme Achebonna's body has been found. I saw, you know, all of the social media yesterday. People posting, you know, rest in peace, good night and, you know, and whatnot. The state governor has also declared a three-day morning, you know, with regards to people who have died in that disaster. Hopefully, you know, they're able to finish as quickly as possible to conclude such a rescue. And if possible, still save a life that might still be hanging by a thread in there. You know, the question now would be, is there a possibility that you still have people who would survive? Not to say that, you know, the bags and baggage should be packed and moved away, but I mean, it's really, really sad because we've been seeing reports and all of the videos coming from that particular scene, people complaining of the pattern, the mode of oppression, you know, the speed at which they're working. And if that report is something to go by, it's really, really bad that we do not pay attention to the lives of the people. Over time, you see that if you have a situation where 10 was killed, we try to downplay the figures. It doesn't matter, even if it's one. One life actually matters. It doesn't matter if it's one person that died. It's a lot. And you never can tell, you know, the pain that a lot of persons will be. You know, for me, it's the fact that we live in a society where things are actually not very, I mean, things are not very smooth. You want to talk about the employment rate and all of that. And you have a lot of these persons who are trying to make something out of their life. People are actually going out every morning to airca-leaving. And this is what happened because of what? Someone actually, you know, failed at their job or someone became very greedy and someone is ignorant just as we spoke with our guests yesterday. It's really, really sad. I do feel, you know, goosebumps at this point in time. Some of the things that we'll be talking about this morning. But let's get you to watch this. We have a quick report to share with you. And we'll be back after this. And just a clip of the drama that, of course, played out yesterday after the body of the developer, Femio Shibona, was found yesterday. A reporter said that after work stopped, a few family members got agitated because, you know, they're asking why is such an rescue operation, you know, currently on hold, you know, after his body was found. There's still a chance of finding somebody alive. There's still a chance of at least maybe a very, very slim chance of, you know, rescuing someone who might still be alive in that rubble. But sadly, we live in a country where, you know, and I've been saying this, right, from the day that this happened, how nobody really will be asked these questions and nobody would take responsibility for the failures at, you know, many, many levels with this. The failure of such an rescue to have begun, you know, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes after this incident happened. The failure of whoever it is, you know, that led to the, you know, that, you know, I mean, whoever's lapses let the collapse of this building. Who is going to be questioned, you know, now that we're hearing that they paused the walk for 30 minutes or 45 minutes? I mean, so many people that, I mean, so many questions that need to be asked and people need to always take responsibility for these things. But we live in a society where there would almost be no responsibility taken for these little, you know, glitches here and there. And there's zero respect and value for that life. And it hurts to see how insensitive. Very insensitive. You know, people are when they are not really affected, when it's not really their family member or it's not really, you know, anything that concerns them directly. There's a high level of insensitivity. And, you know, the fact that, you know, there's almost also a display of, you know, might, you want to see, we want to begin to flex muscle. And at every point in time, we want to begin to show who is powerful and who is most important. So it's really, really sad. Just like I mentioned yesterday, what's on the street already saying, you know, it's a big boy. There are big boys involved in all of this. So it would definitely be covered up. Nothing will happen. And I'm hoping that, you know, the government would understand that the people already can actually predict what's going to happen. And that narrative should never, never come to pass. I don't want to say, because I'm not necessarily going to say that nothing will happen. The governor has set up a, you know, a committee, you know, to look into this, even if there's people who criticize it and say this is really, it should be a criminal investigation, not for any committee to be set up. Nobody needs a panel to be set up to look into this. It's a criminal investigation, and that's what it should be. It should be handled by the police. But like I said to you yesterday, when we get to that stage, we will talk about, you know, whether people would, you know, be held responsible for this. I'm just saying that it hurts me that on the different levels of failure, you know, around all of this that is playing out, we don't live in a society where people can see that they are failing in this tiny regard, in this, you know, other regard here, you are failing, because there would be almost no questions asked, you know, on that level. NEMA, LASEMA, the FRSC, the Nigerian Army, every single person who is involved in the Second Rescue, there's different tiny little levels of failings, or failure that you can spot there. I saw a woman yesterday who was crying and saying that the method with which they are carrying out the Second Rescue is, it doesn't look, you know, good enough. And she was basically, she was speaking to you, but I couldn't understand. But she was saying that they weren't doing it properly, that the way that they were doing it, you could even hurt more people who are on that, you know, on that rubble. And I said it before. I remember that I asked the person we interviewed on Tuesday this same question, what do you see in the Second Rescue that you think is completely inadequate? Are they doing it properly? Is this the right way to do it? And his response was, well, you know, the legacy government is doing their best, you know, and so let's give them, you know, encourage them, they don't have the equipment, so let's do what we have. But that should never be the case. And we should not go home and celebrate and say, okay, well, they've given their best. You know, to shock you now, is that this would happen in future. I am not a prophet of doom. I'm just saying that this will happen. And the truth is we will not, if you look at what's going to happen in the nearest future, it's not because, you know, one is actually trying to predict, oh, this is really going to happen, or someone has been very negative yet. The point is it's going to happen. And what lessons have we learned? Nothing. So you're going to see the same old, same old. We're going back in the same, you know, pattern. Because at the end of the day, one is suspected that with all of the experiences that we have had over time, it's not the first, it's not the second, and it will not be the last. What have we learned from it? What measures are we putting up to say, okay, we need to improve on all of this. We need to improve. Don't we know that this is a city that's really congested and traffic is a major issue? I am not here sitting, you know, trying to say, oh, yeah, they have done something, but that's not enough. We're expected more. I mean, you know, looking at the toll, the figures quite, quite really, really sad. Anyway, I think we're going to wrap up our top trending this morning, our plus trending. And of course, off the press comes up next with GD Johnson. He's going to be looking out the major stories, making headlines across Nigeria this morning and gets in to share his thoughts with us. We'll be back after this short break.
