 All right, you are still watching Ways Now, World Wetlands Day is annually held on February 2nd to celebrate how wetlands, which are lands saturated by water, help maintain biodiversity on earth. We talk about all the climate change and all of those things. This is one day that we really must pay attention to because this is what keeps the earth alive. It keeps the certification away from us. It's the whole works. I really, really must commend everyone that pays attention to caring for nature because these are the people that are keeping us alive. We don't even know it because you will notice how our climate is changing so fast. You see rains the months before you would not have expected rains and all of that. All of these things all come together to impact the climate so this is a very important day and we just want to appreciate all our climate agents keeping the earth safe for us on this day. Everybody is smiling. Who is the nature lover here? Who is the climate? Okay. All right. I love cranes and when I celebrate these things, I then ask myself, you see how nobody is talking? We really don't know. People are not very educated about the environment and it hurts me a lot because I remember when I was a child and we used to go to the bar beach, I mean it was such an exciting time seeing, thinking or imagining that you know you can find sharks in that water, you can find... There's nothing like that. You know, you take a child to the good beach now and all they are concerned about are the nice looking umbrellas and you know they don't even know what you know the environment means. They don't know what it is to care for the what's it called now for the environmental factors and things and then I don't understand what is going on. That's why the weather is so hot. Everything, everything is impacting so please let's pay attention to our environment very very key. All right. So ladies, who are we starting with? Let me start with you Chinalo. Since you started, you continue. Okay. So when I was looking for what to share to my news, everything that I could have seen was Naira scarcity, fuel prices and I'm just like, you know, I don't want to dwell here. I want to find something that would at least you know him or say a bit and so I found this. A man ironed for over stolen 2.4 million Naira sugar. That was how I was like, what are these people talking about? Sugar. Yes, sugar. Okay. So there was a man. Arranged. The police have arranged a 40 year old man for allegedly stealing sugar, valued at 2.4 million Naira. He was arrived on February 1st, 2023 before magistrates in Ogba and he's facing two counts of eating escape and thefts, which were preferred against him by the police and according to the prosecutor, it was read that around 5pm he conspired amongst himself and some other people to aid one check on your ID. There's a driver of GPC energy and logistics to escape from the company. So they stole sugar apparently. So the logistics company was supposed to transport sugar somewhere. And so he was, he connived with the driver of the truck and then one other staff in the company and then they stole sugar what's 2.4 million Naira. Okay. That's my worst. He might have off-takers because we see a one-carry 2.4 million Naira sugar do. He might have off-takers that's probably people that he would go and sell to. Go and sell to. Because I don't understand. It's possible that he already had a ready market and maybe he's been doing it before. Yes. You know, he just wanted to do a large quantity because I don't know what I want you sugar do. All right. So let me take your story, Jenford, and come to you Mary. All right. So, again, relating to Naira. Customers laments as banks 80 and dispense only 5,000 and 2,000 Naira in Aqaibom. So basically this is the same thing that's happening around, that's happening in Lagos. So now we're seeing that it's happening in Aqaibom. I think it also happens in Abuja. But then this is quite different. So they said that yesterday when they joined SEMO, Central Bank, Nigeria, Uyo branch, ESCC personnel and ICPC were monitoring the disbursements of these notes. So they moved these guys to like 18 commercial banks in Aqaibom. So they'll stand there and then you will only withdraw 2,000 Naira or 5,000. Instead of at the early hours of the morning, probably between maybe 8 to like 11 a.m., you could actually withdraw 5,000 Naira. But 2 hours after noon, they reduced it to 2,000. So that means the ATM would only dispense 2,000 Naira. Cash. And that's it. So if you want to take more than 2,000 or you need 20,000, it means you have to go back to the line and then start all over again. So you want 20,000, you do it twice. But then they're not even allowing you to do that because these personnel are standing and they are watching you. So once you collect your 2,000, that's when 2,000 will stamp you. Hallelujah. We are coming back to this matter. Mary, your story. Fire got a set of shops in Balugum Market today. This is very sad because I think it's about the third time in recent, from late last year, there's been several fires there. So I think they should look into either the electric connections in the shops because this is becoming too rampant at some points. Maybe the whole market is going to burn. People's goods have been lost and that is just things. How many things can you salvage? You understand. So it's just really sad. Something needs to be done. We've had about three cases of this late last year, the same Balugum Market. So I was going to say that in line with what you're saying about something being done, I think the market people, it is very, very pertinent now that they take insurance seriously because you know that these things will happen, at least even if your goods go down. Whatever it is, the sum amount that you insured for, you should be able to have some claims back. Because that thing is, like you rightly said, it's very rampant. It's almost like somebody just goes and sets people's stores ablaze. And the election is coming. We don't know what. We don't even know where it's linking it to. What is it about? You don't want to know my take about this Balugum Market fire to be honest. Don't get me started with it. Because I feel like it's not ordinary. I strongly believe that. Not yet goes by without fire gotten in Balugum Market. I'm starting to think that there's more to it. There's something we don't know. Hopefully somebody will do a movie one day. And then we'll find out. I just think about taking you up on that. So talking in line with conversations, I just saw a video. There's no real story around it. But there was a building collapse because just like fire, we've had several building collapse in this country. And there was a building collapse. A building that was under construction had collapsed in Guaringpa area of Abuja. And it was reported that some workers were trapped. You could see the video of someone with so much dust. I think he just wiggled his way out. Some workers were trapped in the building. Because again, all of these things that we're talking about. These are the things that when we say that some things are really avoidable in this country. But it keeps happening repeatedly. And it's almost like nobody's even willing to put a stop to it. So that's what beats my... So I'm not able to grasp the why. Why would this continue to happen? So are there issues of standards? So look at the block. Look at how it's looking. So are there issues of the standards? Nobody or maybe certification officers? Look at this guy with all his dust all over him. So are there issues of certification that are not properly adhered to? Or are there issues of approvals that are just shabbily given and you bribe your way through? So what is the reason for building collapse? It's the same question we would ask for. What is the root cause of fires? Because now it's almost like every month. We must hear issues of collapse or fire. And these are people's livelihoods. These are people's lives that are just going down the drain like that. So we really need to check it. So I want to talk this money matter. My blood is hot. We have me today. We want to hear from you. We want to know what you're saying. How is this Naira scarcity affecting you? Stay with us. We'll be right back.
