Yeah good morning, good morning my sister, thanks for having me. It's alright. Let's take a look at the Nigerian Tribune, the page of the front page of the Nigerian Tribune this morning and the banner caption talks about the Abuja Kaduna train attack, youth donate blood terrorist contact families. That's boldly written how bureaucracy costs train attack, Meche is quoted on that, that's the Minister of Transport, Rotimiya Meche. Attack questions are collective ability to govern, this is what governors quoted to say your government reps blast service chiefs over failure to honor invitation. Federal government must prosecute, indict at 1,200 terror sponsors. Suspects now, that's what Falana is quoted to say. Well it's interesting. Let's see how all of this unfolds. Federal government approves procurement of I beg your pardon. Federal government approves procurement of the LIE dictators, okay that's a lie dictator, night vision Google for NDLEA and that actually broke it yesterday. How much are we looking at about a billionaire? You also have 2023 presidency, blackmail cannot stop not from filing in candidates, not in collision is quoted, FAB Baba Lola's colon, you have the judiciary must remain independent and just before we move away from the Nigerian Tribune you have FRIS contributed 59.45 percent of revenue shared by FAAC monthly in 2021 that's FAC and reverse pollution or should declare war on illegal minors this is what you find also reps committee on covers 300 billion on claim funds in banks and court dismisses no case submission by a dead DOE others talking about the OAU students murder trial this is some of the headlines on the Nigerian Tribune a DOE assembly passes the anti-open grazing bill that's it this morning on the Tribune. Alright from the Tribune we'll move on next to the leadership newspaper this morning the lead story for the leadership could do in a train attack we have failed governors apologize to victims with some writers there say attack questions their capacity to govern bandits contact families of kidnapped victims kill 9 security operatives in Niger reps berate service chiefs of our incessant attacks 13 women children drown while fleeing wow from terrorists that's a sad one just above that story on the blue strip there 2023 APC mountain pressure on i-Nectar shift election page or PDP alleges Senate asks DSTV start times office to cut tariffs Senate ask at DSTV start times office to cut tariff I have 12 months to deliver as APC chairman Adamu 2023 Udom higher to them or how about peak PDP forms Ramadan stakeholders caution Muslim preachers against provocative sermon about the must-have federal government acquires lie detectives night vision goggles for the end the L.A. U.S. waves interview for non-immigrant visa at those are the stories you can find on the front page of the leadership newspaper this morning away from the leadership we'll take a quick look at the punch newspaper on the front page of the punch you find a roof I cap its military ACF laments defense headquarter fails to deploy to Tocano and the northwest says bandits territory known to troops and should be declared war zone that's one of the riders underneath the board caption another rider says Nigeria air force to escort passenger trains we jets says a mechi that's the minister of transport routine a mature and that reps fume as service chiefs minister failed to appear before panel talking about a train attack and that's it away from that headline you also have Senate demands downward pay TV tariff review others hike probe that's what we talked about on top trending this morning and you still have more interesting headlines on the punch newspaper now that gets a wh or certification plans vaccine laboratory June this is what you find report of stepping down for a tickle mischievous Sarah K. Tamberwell and Mohammed is quoted and you have Senate threatens a pub you and the DC boss arrest over 2.2 billion our contracts fees and beneath the page of the punch newspaper 20 Niger resident fleeing bandit attack in overload boats drown this is really really sad carry rejects prison food inmates excited by X RIT boss presence and you find the headers adamant southern governor's field to enforce anti-open grazing law and US embassy in a budget begins interview waiver for visa renewal face max now optional COVID-19 restriction go soon that's what the federal government is quoted to say and does it mean that you know the virus is actually left us and this is some of the headlines on the punch newspaper alright the final one we are reviewing this morning is the nation newspaper alright at the main story there quickly a train attack terrorist contact them hostages and families that's the elite story for this morning no room for fear no room for failure says a PC chair that's above the must-have of the nation abundance killed 23 abducts many in Kudu in the village gunmen came in numbers other stories on the nation oh a year student I did do he orders half case to answer pupil dies 15 injured in on those cool bus fire and those are the stories we will take on the nation this paper I guess we just have to start with that analyst now mercy to the color well it's good to have you join us once again we appreciate your time and thoughts as always alright so which of the headlines interest you as we work through the pages of a national deal is this morning it's reported in the papers in the past that there's been a track on that route but the government is the federal level the ministry of transport have always denied that that which is vulnerable to bandits attacks if we are paid attention to some of those indicators if we are paid attention to securing that route this last attack that took place up not to have taken place at all in some other countries of the world all the valley happen is a certain policies are employed and given certain number of kilometers of the real track to monitor to track on it find out whether then those objects have been dropped along the real line whether certain persons by the planning attack and when they go back to the offices the right to report and that guide the security people on what measures to take it doesn't appear to me that we have made any serious effort to secure that route they also look like a working on Italian mafia claim if I would say I only read about 10 attack being carried out by the mafia in countries like Italy and not in real life so that is happening in Nigeria today it's a strategic entitlement not just on the military of transport but also all the security chiefs and all those who have responsibility to protect the life and property of the average Nigerian people all right if we were serious in the ministry of transport by now if we are a serious nation okay in order to kill the agency this attack has been a young medical doctor lost his life nobody does lost their life and so many others very very important people all right it's a color it lets them move away from the Keduna train attack in as much as you know it is a very very sudden or sudden in one the other writers to that story you know the governors have come out to see that the field and the resident and they've apologized and the most blessing the apology is not really good enough that they should have been more proactive but let's look at other stories are making headlines on the leadership as Senate asks the STV start times others to court times how do you react to all of that because these obituary increases and the Senate is also calling for pay per view how walkable is this but it's the color so I didn't quite get that all right the Senate asks the STV start times offers to court yes and they also you know calling for a pay per view from this pay TV operators how do you see the walkability of that and just how do you react to it generally that is another very tragic reminder of what we have done to ourselves as a nation you will remember that on the military rule the military didn't allow the mass media in the country to go they were afraid of the newspapers they were afraid of the radio they were afraid of television they will not issue licenses for people to run television stations for people to run radio stations if we had given our people the opportunity to grow that sector the Nigerian economy would have been the niche for fully television houses to come to Nigeria and start setting up cable television that rips us off that commitment that takes money for months without lending as much service as the other limits to render once you people pay for program they never saw and they never watched Nigeria was where television first started in Africa in 1959 and not South Africa that has brought the DSV to this country so what I would do recommend is to say they have received the need for rules to further liberalize that set up the Nigerian economy to empower Nigeria to set up television radio stations that can cover the well of the country that can transmit all about the world just like the CNN does just like the CBS does just like radio France does because what are you doing today we give licenses to people to run radio to run television in the inter room we're asking that as much as that suggestion is a fantastic one but this is the action and this is a call of lawmakers asking that the cut down on you know the prices and that's on the one hand in terms of dropping the prices looking at the current reality right now and on on on another suggestion on other issue they are looking at is the fact that people should pay what the view so pay per viewer rather than the monthly payment where there are several factors that allow people not to even view the problem I just pay for services in all viewing so we're asking your thoughts on this one the lawmakers are asking that the federal government you know should move ahead and ensure that we have the pay per view services for those who are subscribing and they should also drop down the prices and begin to dictate to this service provider it doesn't work that way what I am suggesting and recommending is that we empower our own people to compete effectively with all these funding media houses if they have a good competition it will fall down the price it is because the STV for example is like in Nigeria that is where they can dictate at what rate you subscribe and ensure that you pay for even programs you never watch that is the way to go not to start dictating prices the forces of sublime demand it is the market that will determine what prices goods and services are sold the people are not of the principles of capitalism and then the market forces all right today color well a let's also look at another issue here on the punch newspaper quickly just before we move away air will fight cupboards the military following the train attack and the AC have actually lament the defense headquarters or defense headquarters fields to deploy to Kano in the north west now and says that bandits territory known to troops and should be declared war zone you also have another rider saying Nigeria Air Force was caught the passengers train with jets this is a solution that the minister has proposed what are your thoughts on all of this we're not speaking when mister if I speak this way I begin to wonder what f14 never made to ensure that there is peace there is security that the lies and property of the Cardinal said people are safe in my humble opinion if the performance in that area has been catastrophic at the time he said it made some fuller me band put sums of money to stop carrying out attacks in Cardinal state at the time he said he was going to reconcile the people of Southern Cardinal with the people of Northern Cardinal as he succeeded in that area almost on a daily basis on that mister you fight what people are people are killed people like names people are kidnapped people disappear into thin air and I never seen a game so with his statement we say we find it's time to remove the spec and somebody else eyes when there is a wave lock in his own eyes so while I agree that the security team haven't done too well and provided security for the lies and property of the Nigerian people I don't think it lies in the amount of mister who fight so start in action so start to recommend me so start to describe the solution so there is security that we have a number of local leaders and in Cardinal in particular way I have continued to say this when the nation is corrupt all citizens of this life will also get rotten the weaknesses the fault lines that we see now at different security agency is a manifestation of the cancer of corruption that has been ravaging this country what do you expect when you have police officers who deal in cocaine what do you expect when you have police officers who are blocked with your boys what do you expect when they will be of an army command is also transport money from one end to the other and the money get this idea in transit what do you expect when an organization like like the PSS whether I'm blackmailing lying and terrorizing Nigeria better than concentrate on their quality responsibility of preserving the lies and property of the average Nigerian person so this I would like you to say that to the man in he has done a similar little terribly when it comes to providing security not just for the people of the state but for the people around that and the wrong the proposal to use a escort cultures or whatever dreams and all that will begin to have caught train from Canada to Kaduna well it's not impossible with technology you can do some of those things but I don't think that is the final solution to this problem the final solution will be to route out the bandit wherever they may be and also get us those who are sponsoring this is security all over the country we have been in this quarter Maya for more than 10 years and by now the security chiefs should have been able to infiltrate the rank and file of the bandit whether they are present in the open area or they are present in the right area look at another issue I mean because that's you know one of the concerns of a roof I looking at the suggestion as a way because I mean there's a lot of back and forth following this attack and looking at you know some of the conversation surrounding all of this this is not the first time this attack is happening this is not the first time concerns have been raised as regards the fact that you know the Kaduna abouger road is actually not very safe for people and all the things that actually have happened around but the minister of transport is saying that we will probably have the jets escorting this train as you know they go ahead what you think about this that the bandit has also acquired missile with which they can bring down any jet that is flying on the material space so you might be kind of busy for trouble tragedy in which you are driving your jet and the problem by the bandit and also be equally attacked we need to think deeper about intelligence gathering about employing rules to travel to be traversing to be mainly telling what happens along that way for it all I'm passing the information they get to the security chief who must be compared to act upon them so are you saying that this is expensive are you saying that this idea of having the Nigerian Air Force escort passengers while the expensive words but what about we take to you know preserve the lives of Nigerians from a budget to Kaduna from Kaduna to Abouger if you increase the cost of running a rail corridor it is only a few occasions that you do other to carry out that kind of exercise it can be a daily affair once you start to do it on the daily basis the bandit will also find a way to circumvent or to make sure that it doesn't work either by shooting down your jet or that is a modern name for attacking the plane and the train and the passengers in there that we will begin to wait for you at the departure point or where the passengers will be sent back I think we need to do better than that all right let's move on to other stories I'm in the dailies the story spreads across some newspapers but let's take it from the leadership federal government him acquires lie detectors night vision goggles for the NDLA in your opinion is it a step in the right direction is it another way of getting money from the system for me I think that another way of money the NDLA don't require ocarina suppressions at night the area in which the public going to the bush after those who go cannot be going ahead and you don't need to go to those places where Indians are grown at night such operations are very carried out don't in the day after you have gathered sufficient intelligence as the guy where the farm are located thought more with my experience as a criminal trial lawyer I have found out the most evil deal in drugs the ugly ten lies of the activities when they are arrested when they are pre-empted if I'm most fine they go to cause and plead guilty so that they can get lighter sentence they will not want to wait the time of the court so that the fully got off the law it's not visited on them furthermore a light detector it's not to prove there are people who are they where we are so turn light or to try or make a mess of whatever light detectors you might have applied to them I think it should have been better for them to invest more on intelligence garden on the operation on but they are more and some of these other life weapons that will make that people mobile in fact intelligence garden is more important than all these nightgames and water it's a dream certain persons don't say using the opportunity to spend for it can't be forced on the treatment that is never likely so be too useful for the end here name alright thank you so much a barista colorly Cindy colorly for your time and we do appreciate it and always are when you bring these are wonderful insights and to the discussion would do say thank you and I'm enjoying the rest of your day thanks for having me all right it's still the breakfast on plus TV

still the breakfast on plus TV Africa
