 Today on the breakfast, Vice President Professor Yemio Shiba Joe finally declares to run for presidency makes promises amid reactions. Also the collapse of the Niger's electricity grid actually occurred twice last week despite a concerted effort to stabilize power system. We seek to profile lasting solution on the breakfast. And we will review the major stories of making front page cross-national dailies. Good morning to you, this is the Breakfast on PLOS TV Africa. I am Justin Akadone. I am Messi Bokpo, good morning and thanks for joining us, it feels great to be back on your screen. Yes, it is indeed great to have you join us, we trust that you had yourself a rested weekend. Just move up straight to top trending and of course the Vice President's declaration is everywhere in the news amid reactions and specifically one is actually resounded. I have no son or son grown enough to contest or to declare as presidency that's attributed to the former Lagos state governor, that's Bola Akmer, who is also vying for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress. He said that when John Lister, you know, when wanted to just get his take concerning the declaration of a vice president, specifically the John Lister asked him to, you know, to react to his son, you know, vying for the same ticket that he is, you know, declaring for and he said, quote, that I have no son grown enough to declare. Messi that has indeed generated a lot of reactions and some people are now making reference to his son, she who is 36 years old and by the constitution, he is old enough to, you know, to contest for the presidency, of course. So but it's not in his literal sense, I mean, that I'm trying to think about the figure of speech right now, but it's not in his literal sense, that's what he would definitely mean. And of course you understand how Nigerians can be when it comes to all of this. The truth is the truth is at this point, in this particular context, a lot of persons have said this is actually a statement of denial about if you look at it as a lot of semantics, I mean, player of English and words. So he would rather say he's not denying the fact that he doesn't have a son, but he's saying that he doesn't think that he has a son who has the capacity to contest for the president. And that would mean, hey, so I do have sons, it's possible that this particular one, I don't think he has what he takes to become president, but we need to also understand, we understand the fact that between the vice president and the former governor of Lagos State, that relationship cannot be taken out. Then let's take that particular visual and we'll come back and take some more comments, stay with us. I want to say that my mission is to seek collaboration, support and encouragement of my party, the APC, for my ambition and my mission. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Krishna? Yes? I hear you. And my response to that, the former Lagos State governor. And of course in a presidential hopeful of the All Progressive Congress. Senator Abola STAR10, it helps to make his reactions. Other than what he has said, I remember him just talking to the governor directly statement. I just know that Nigerians have a way of making, they have a way of being very comical about every situation. And so this is another comic situation. But if you look at like I mentioned earlier on, that's just a situation of English, language or semantics. And that's really, not necessarily saying it doesn't have a son. You did say I don't have a son by saying I don't have a son who's grown enough to contest. So we're looking at capacity right now. I don't think so, even if you have him right there. But this is what happens in the Nigerian political space. I think it's going to be very interesting. It is going to be very interesting. We'll talk more about the Vice President's declaration when we get into our discussion proper. But that's just on the periphery because Nigerians are really reacting. I don't want to state more because I will actually start laughing right now and I don't intend to. But let's look at other things I'm trending. Mas, do you know that before now, the particular denomination, Christian denomination, Go ahead and say it. deeper life, deeper Christian life ministry, that's what the ministry is called. Before now they don't believe the members don't believe in watching television. You know, they don't embrace or they deem embrace the use of technology. But right now, because sometimes before, when I had covered them event, organized by deeper life, Christian ministry, like alarmed before now, growing up, I had the neighbors and friends who attended church and they ordinarily would not watch television because it is part of their doctrine or their belief. But they are generous to pretend that WF Kumuyi is quoted as saying that technology is to spread the gospel, unlike what has been the norm for them over the years. He talked about them how they couldn't understand them, where someone's voice, that's radio, when he was describing radio, how someone's voice would just come automatically via device and study. That should be related to magic or something, the same thing with television. But over time, he said that evil has been perpetrated through the use of technology and even the church, the body of Christ, has to use the same technology to propagate the gospel and not make them evil. When? Well, so this is actually parable. Parable, or Ephraimus says that anytime you wake up is your money, apparently. He's talked about the fact that they have woken up and he regrets the fact that they have woken up late. Too late. So one of the things I admire with his speech and his thought is the fact that he's sincere. I mean, that's a lot of sincerity there. You have admitted that, hey, we have been on a long thing, that would be the streets. A very long one. It's a street pattern. So they have been in a very long thing. I mean, just woke up now. And so the time that they have woken up, it would be a good morning to them. It's a good thing. But it just shows that as we progress, as long as we're human beings, we need to have an open mind, whether we belong to a religion, whether there's culture, we need to open our minds. I mean, you cannot, because as we're evolving, the world is evolving as we're evolving. It's important that organizations, individual, you need to catch up with this trend. And embrace the knowledge. It makes your life easier and better. So beyond technology, as we're progressing, as long as we keep evolving as a people, as humans on Earth, there will be, you know, different development. And it's important that you catch up. But apart from the fact that technology was also being, there's been big on a lot of things. The fact that it's forbidding to dress in a certain way, jewellery is a no-no for the deeper life church. There are several things. You also want to talk about what you call certain kind of fabric has also been prohibited. So there are a lot of rules and regulations or the don'ts that you associated with the church. But let's see. I mean, this is a good one in the right. I mean, how do you say you don't watch television? Really? Really? How don't you watch television? I don't know. I mean, how would you just... But we understand the dynamics. So you remember recently, we talked about child development, what we talked about child development and all of that. And so we constantly feel that, oh, you know, we need to totally isolate ourselves. But as long as you live on earth, you're going to be part of the system. So it goes... The way to figure this all out is not to really just go away and disappear on it. So the SS would be, oh, there's a lot of evil there. So when you watch television, you see evil, really. It's what you choose to do. To make it, to take out it. So at the end of the day, it's a matter of choice. Because we always be presented with everything. And so it's the choice to choose what way to go. So are you going to go to the left or are you going to go to the right? So we'll understand the consent of a lot of people to say, oh, you don't need to see television because on television, they're going to be showing people who are not properly dressed, new people, and that will corrupt your class system and all of that. But on the same television, you could actually learn new things. You could watch the news. You could learn a trade on television, even technology. You can do a whole lot. You can reach to as many people that you never have imaged in reaching over time. Social media, before now, they would never use social media. But they seem to have found that social media is like the next best thing. If I have to put that in quote, because how would you be in this to the first century in mercy? I don't really don't do it. I don't do social media. Like he actually said, they woke up. They have woken up and then it's late for them. They don't do it later. And because the world is moving, it's moving on. It's fast. Astronomically. And if you don't move, you will just be left behind. So but you believe in the world where you can't actually say they are absolutes, they are related. And so nothing in itself would be perfect. No, no, no. So there would always be the odds, the disadvantage, the advantage. And that's why we have a willpower. True. You're not a robot, right? Even God gave us that right to choose. So you still have a willpower. You still have yourself. You still have a choice to decide whether or not to go this way or to go the other way to do these and not to do that. And so for most of the things that we actually have termed and tagged, you know, wrong, really, are they really wrong? I'm not sure we're ready for this conversation. There are a lot of things that we have to say about this. Because life in itself, there's a dichotomy to life. It's always been like that. There's always been evil. There's always been good. There's black, there's white, there's, you know, failure, there's success, everything. There's this, you know, duplicity of everything when it comes to life. So at the end of the day, it's about what you decide to make with all the information you want to take. It's either you use it to make your life better, to improve on the nation, or some people might just want to use it the other way around and there may be perpetrate crime. But what he's saying is that we should embrace technology and they actually are seeing it solely. But then, like you said, now when you wake up, then be your morning. Thank you. Because we can never leave it, you know, we can't be in a world where you would just have, there are no absolutes. So I keep saying that. So we can't be in a world where you see everything is perfect. No way. Then as much as we keep saying, oh, things are going very bad, you know, the snow, we're waiting to wake up to a world where there's no crime. There's no country without crime. So we can never get to that point. So you can't wake up to a world where everything is perfect. So there would always be, you know, the do's and the don'ts and you always have evil and good, the good and bad. I mean, but what is really, really bad. And who really defines what is really bad. But it's a good one for them. They have embraced us and we're also looking forward to them embracing other things. Yes, they have, indeed. Mercy. And having people just... Have you been to the church lately? No, I haven't been. No, I have not because of the work we do. Most times you go there, you know, the vice president, coincidentally, has been to deeper life church several times and have had the opportunity to cover and they embrace technology. Have you seen the screen? Let me even start. Before I started making... No, no, but you know, for a lot of people, we would think that there are other things. I mean, you have a lot of things that they do not agree to. This is one amongst so many. And so maybe gradually, you know, it would definitely change. All right, let's move on. Let's move away from technology and the deeper life church. Another thing trending is... We've not heard the last of the Bianca slap. Mercy. You know, we got a clara, a video of whatever, laughing at this one. You know, the reactions that showed, that snapped the video and everything. Now, somehow, I don't know who did released a better caption of the whole thing. We not saw everything in black and white, but see, it was so clear. We don't know who from it ends the job. Okay, let's quickly take a... You know, look at that particular video right now. Right back stay with us. There you have it. You've not seen the clara picture of what transpired during the inauguration of the governor of Anambra State, Chukuma Saludo, and how the wife of, you know, the Ikenba, that's Bianca Ojuku and Obiano's wife, what happened at the scene? Mercy, I see a smile around your eyes. No, you know, when you said the word Ikenba reminds me of joys of motherhood and a lot of this literature, what you read and then you hear the word Ikenba. I mean, it's a long time I had that particular one, but I see the reason why you have been laughing better than you. Of course, the caption talks about a better view of the inauguration saga. So, you remember that we had this conversation, right? Yes, we did. I'm not sure if I had, we had this conversation. I mean, you and I... Maybe not, I'm sorry, but we've had maybe a picture or something. But we've talked about this on the breakfast and for me, I said it again, that you would expect that as a wife of a governor, you know, as a leader. So, sometimes you see a lot of, you know, you see a lot of these leaders who've been criticized over time where they say they don't have, they don't have that decorum, they don't have that style. I mean, it's expected that you just comport yourself in a certain way. Not necessarily because there's a lord that guarantees that or, I mean, you are being compelled, but by the fact that you are a wife of the governor, like I said before, and I have to say again, it is, you know, the word would be a meddlesome interloper. It's just a busy body. You should have been sitting very responsible with your husband by this side. So, it's like you were looking for trouble. You strolled, you took a walk. I mean, look at that, very majestic. Strolled. That was very majestic. You know, she made other plans to walk down to, you know, where it was. Yes. I don't know what exchange they had. So, but it goes a lot to show us that as public office holders, we need to comport ourselves. Not just as public office holders, generally as Nigerians, you know. No, no, no. Apart from that, I'm just thinking that, so it's an extra for you. So, it's okay to behave yourself in public. You know what I'm saying? You should go extra. I mean, it's okay to behave yourself, but it's also an extra when you have been saddled with this responsibility. A lot of people look out to you. A lot of the first lady might not be your constitutional office, but it should be respected. You should understand that you are wife of the mother of the state. And in a very sensitive, it's sensitive and important event as that, like I mentioned. They should have done better. They should have been beside your husband. And just enjoy them the entire ceremony. You know, very honorable. Well, that's as much as we can take. I'm sure you'll also enjoy them. The better view as much as I did. We'll take a quick break and we'll come back. We'll go straight to off the press. It's still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. Do join us again.
