We do have O'Connor, and Quatarria, who will join us, a public affairs analyst, to make sense of all of the headlines this morning. I set up with the Leadership newspaper.

Let's have you joined the conversation at this point in time. Can you hear me? Good morning. All right. So let's look at. All right. So we go straight to the conversation. The leadership newspaper. And that's also dominating all of the papers this morning. The attack on the correctional center in Plur two state. What are your thoughts? I think it's one convoluted system. And to me, it's not just an attack by the inmates, or just by criminals. I also have a conviction that some politicians are behind it. Most of the inmates probably they don't want them to squeal. I agree. Yes, you have the military. You have criminals in there. And the criminals, their partners outside will just want to be with them. But I also believe because if you look at the way the success between most of this attacks are carried out, you realize that unless you have an accomplice, unless in the system, both in the correctional services, and mostly in the correctional services or the police, it will be very difficult for most of these attackers to carry out their attack successfully. So most of them probably would have been paid heavily to compromise. And so they become complacent with us. So why the criminal officers, the cohorts, will definitely want to remove the inmates. I also believe that some politicians who use this character for some criminal activities are also behind most of these attacks. So that those in there are not going to squeal. All right, aponobol. Asides from what happened in Plur two state, let's talk about something that is also trending on the Daily Independent. The banner headline this morning is on the economy. Specifically, it's been about four months since the sale ban to BDC is talking about the FX market. And a whole lot of stakeholders believe that there is no sanity. What are your thoughts? It is very difficult to have sanity in that area. Because it's one area that is immersed in corruption. Yes, the CDN is trying his best to sanitize forest market. But don't forget that that is just the CDN governor. He will be very much surprised that his glutenants who also have the DDT and who also operate illegal forest market will definitely want to take the efforts of the CDN governor. And also, when you talk how many people will go to the central bank today to get the foreign exchange? It's not that if I want to get foreign exchange, I'll just go to one mall and buy the corner, give them my money and buy my products and travel. So it's definitely and those mall and those who are selling, they have their bosses and this is their bosses are highly connected. They also work with most of the CDN official. So even if you have that ban that you ban BDC, for example, means you don't ban BDC. But if you don't kill the people who are creating the BDC, they cannot take behind their offices. They cannot take from their homes. They cannot take from anywhere. That is just an office. But the monies can be exchanged in any place at various places without the central bank. So it is very difficult to sanitize the forest market. Extremely difficult to sanitize. What the fact that government should do, excuse me, is to address the economic challenges. And that is the very largest thing. We put an end to most of these illegal transactions that are going on. Because since they've been banned, they are not illegal. Put an end to most of these illegal transactions. Unless that is done, it could be like catching the mist. It could be a very difficult task and also to sanitize the forest market. Because I don't need, I can operate right from this office, this my study room. I can operate. All I need to do is let people know that I sell dollars and open to me and buy their dollars and walk away. It's as simple as that. I don't need to go to my office that is known to the world to sell my dollars. I can't buy my pounds or whatever. I can do that every right in my car. So how do you sanitize a situation like that? It is extremely difficult. Let the dollars, let this one, let it be made easily accessible. If people can just walk into the bank and don't buy it, because it's definitely cheaper there, and don't buy it, and they will have it. Most times you go to the bank, they tell you they don't have. And maybe you have your son abroad, who is telling you that if this fee is not paid, I'm not going to be allowed into the exam house tomorrow. Daddy, if this fee, if this fee is not paid, this amount is not paid, I can't go in for my surgery tomorrow. And you expect that man to wait for the bureaucratic procedure to get the products from the central bank. It's not possible. You will just go to the next market. The nets are both going to buy it. So it is extremely difficult to sanitize it. Instead of the government will have to make this money available and easily accessible, that is the only way that it can be sanitized. Because if the, it's going for, let's say, $4.50 a dollar, I will not want to go and buy for $518 to a dollar from an ability. I don't want to do that. I want to go and get purchased from the bank there to be $4.50 a dollar. But you say $4.50 a dollar, I will not have access to it. It's impossible. I get all of that openable. My question as a follow-up to that is that just how do you ensure that Nigerians don't tend to want to tweak the system to favor them? You mentioned, I'm a case where ordinarily you would want to get from the banks as opposed to the parallel market where they can get it at a higher rate. For instance, the banks would only pay to genuine customers who may have genuine reason, maybe you mentioned school fees, are people with PTAs who want to travel abroad. But sometimes people present international passport and say they want to buy for PTAs at the end of the day, they divert the money and don't even get to travel. And then those who genuinely need it don't get the effects. You just repeated exactly what I said. I said it's almost impossible to get from the direct source, from the central bank. And that's because it is just to get from that bank to now rely on the black market. Now, if I can have access to it, that is what I mean, that what the federal government should do is to ensure that people have easy access, not just easy access. Guys, if I wake up this morning now and I go, you saw Facebook, go for PTA, and they only get the money, they will not travel, they just use that as a decoy to get money from the central bank because they actually go back to sale at the black market. That is what a lot of them do. And most, the central bank officials are quite aware, it's not as if they are not aware, they are seen of this fast. But they are also complicitors because they are also, that they are on share of the money. Most of these people who are pregnant with this and so forth, are pregnant on behalf of people. By policy, the central, most of them are owned by the business, are owned by bankers, are owned by top government functionaries, especially those in the oil sector. You tell these ones, I don't get Aaron Boyce. So, that is what is going on. So, it's a factor. So, why the federal government comes off with the policy? The same people working for the federal government will try, of course, as they can, to circumvent it. That is what is going on. But if you have a sincere government, it's a question of corruption. If you have a sincere government that will ensure that the due process is followed and that these monies are available and accessible, don't come and tell me there is no forex when I need the money out there. You cannot tell me there is no. If the government ensures that these monies are available and easily accessible to a very large estate, because now you can also have an internal mechanism to ensure that all those, it's not a one-day affair, it's not an overnight issue. You have to ensure that all those involved in these illegal acts are detected and dealt with. It might take three, four years, five years, but it's a gradual process, and at the end of the day, we are going to sanitise the system. But when these persons are being carried out of this activity, how do you expect to sanitise? Because they are also part of the system. That is the corruption. And I will not, I'm very serious, but I will not surprise the situation where I will wait for maybe one week, two weeks or three weeks to get forex to send to my son or to send to my daughter. I will not. I will just go to the nearest market. And that is why we have these businesses driving. So it depends on the federal government. It's nestled on the shoulders of the federal government to ensure that the monies are available. That is number one and easily accessible. That is number two. And then they set up an internal mechanism to fish out the bad ads that are trying to trumpet, trying to send me the efforts of the federal government to sanitise the system, the market. All right. Well said. Open up. Okay. Open up on Qatariah. Let's move away from that now. Let's also quickly look at, you know, still on the leadership newspaper. The fact that the DSS denies a report of extra judicial killings in the south is, what are your thoughts on that? I mean, it's a well known fact that the rest of judicial killings, it doesn't expect the DSS to own up. That will be indicted in itself. But we all know that. But the police, as any policeman told you, are certainly investigated or when it involves a prominent man in the country or in a police officer's relationship, as any policeman owned up that what he did was extra judicial. He killed somebody extra judicial. No, of course, they would deny it if you'd expect that denial. So it's not surprising. But those who are there, I cannot say that I have to tell you yes. I cannot say that I have to bow for the elasticity of the claim. But I was not there. But those who are there said, and they are still saying, insisting, that those who are killed, you are killed extra judicial. So all we want is for the federal government to investigate and come out with that laugh. Although with the present government, I don't think anything will come out of this because this is one government side that has lost its credibility. So I sincerely don't expect. And that's why it's found out that there is a lot of flash concerning the little, the judicial panel of the empire on Emsa. Because what they expected is not what the panel came out of. It's not the recommendation of the findings of the panel. So I don't expect anything to come out of it. Those who are dead, sorry, the panelist will make their wounds. There is not what you can do about it. But I don't expect DSS to also own up. I sincerely don't expect DSS to also own up. But though the family is involved, to come up with proof, to show that the DSS, in the one, we are the ones that killed, the DSS know that the ones that killed those people that died. And if you come up with that proof of what the civil society will carry, mother case has no life span. It has no life span. It can drag on for the rest of those that choose to die. The mother case has no life span. So they should come up with a proof. And initiate a legal action so that even if it takes another five, six, seven, eight, ten years, one day justice will be done. All right. Other stories. Federal government draws flags over improper national career rebus. Project lacks transparency dead on arrival. That's according to stakeholders. What exactly are your thoughts upon concerning the rebus of Nigeria's national career? We live in a country where we mastermind the minimum and minimise the mind. We are talking of world subsidy. We are talking of a city-level economic atmosphere or local indeed is over inter. And you're talking of national career. I don't think for now it is necessary. Honestly, I'm not interested in that story because we all know the cost implications. We cannot even maintain it. We cannot even maintain it for now. We actually have the money to maintain it. They say there is no money. We come to it in particular. And you want to come up with a national career. But what is that? What is the reasonableness in that? Addressed in nagging issues facing Nigeria. Nigerians are hungry. There is hunger. There is poor people and poor people. So stop talking about national career for now. It's not a priority to speak right now. The minister is just looking for a net venue to set up a line in the market. It's as simple as that. Oh, we are approaching the coin's time. We are almost in the twilight of administration. What am I going to benefit? What am I going to live with? Okay, let me come up with this idea. That is exactly what is going on. But I don't think it is necessary for now. For now it is not necessary. We should not even talk about national career for now. Okay. And this has to do with, you know, our health, the Omicron variant that has called for global concern and also the restriction for countries not to travel. I mean the travel ban. Do you think that, you know, travel ban has been very effective in the fight against COVID-19? And secondly, what would be the implication for our economy and the entire continent? Well, talking of travel ban is necessary. They see it as one of the measures to come down on the spread, to reduce the spread of the virus. I, for one, I don't even believe in it. I say to you, even this issue of, you might definitely be able to do it here. The difficulty of wearing masks and so on. I don't think so. I don't think it is necessary. They should just think of it. And because we are still having variants, tomorrow we'll have another one. If they have to have another one. So what kind of life are we living? Well, I don't think we need that travel ban. We do in vaccination and after the vaccination it is okay. All you need to do is prove that you'll be vaccinated. And after that, I think you should be allowed to travel because it is having a negative effect on the economy. Global, not just Nigerian. Global. And it is also affecting businesses. When we have the lockdown in Nigeria, many businesses suffer. And many are yet to recover. Those that are happy were the wives who had their husbands at home. That's all. And the children who are also happy to see their father. But after that, I say why these are happening as well shortly because the father could not provide any more for the family. He wasn't going out again. And so what happened? What else happened? So I don't think we need all those lockdowns and all those days. Vaccination, after the vaccination, you can move free. Definitely one day scientists will come up with a solution to all these problems. Initially, we had malaria field fields. We had, in those days, malaria. We had Al Capone because if it had killed it, these things, I mean, they'll come to pass sooner. But coming up with these stringent measures of a ban of the days, I don't think those things are matters for now. They are not. Because it's going to affect those groups. It's going to affect the world economically, not politically, but economically because businesses cannot be transacted. And what is going to happen once you don't tell that behavior is government offices are going to be shut. Most government offices are going to be shut. And if the offices are shut, why do you think it's going to pay salaries when you don't work? All right. Thank you so much for your thoughts. I can say in all of those issues that have been raised from the front pages of them, the dailies that we have been speaking with our opponent in Cotiria, a public affairs analyst analyzing the papers this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. All right. It's still the breakfast and last TV Africa will take a break and we'll see what happened these days in history many years ago. Stay with us.
