 Alright, you are still watching Waze National Cinema Day, it's celebrated annually on November 1st. It is a day to celebrate the delicious and versatile spice that is cinnamon. Cinnamon is a spice made from the inner back of several trees from the genus Cinamonium. It is native to South Asia and has been used as a spice for thousands of years. Cinnamon has a sweet, warm flavour and a unique aroma. It is used in a variety of cuisines around the world, both sweet and savoury. Who is a fan of cinnamon here? I am. I love cinnamon as well. I literally had the cinnamon roll yesterday. Yeah, I was just going to say, I do the cinnamon rolls. And again, I have incorporated cinnamon to my everyday supplement for the last one year. Because again, it's also a weight management spice. I didn't know that. Yeah, it does. It manages your weight. So a lot of people that want to go to the natural weight loss part of it is probably boiling the sticks. The cinnamon sticks, you can add a bit of lemon, honey, some cloves, whatever it is. There are just so many formulas. I haven't done the sticks, but I think the only time I ever, I tasted it once and I liked it. So now I use the ones you get off the rack, like the powder ones. Yeah, nice. So you see, it helps absorb anything, fat and all of that. But so I do that. I do with oats. I've never tried noodles. I'll try that. I do with oats. I've not done any oats. In fact, it was normal that I thought of oats. Because she would make the oats and she would put the cinnamon. It gave it a very nice flavor. Yeah. It gave it a very nice flavor. But I like the cinnamon rolls. So anybody that is struggling with weight and all of that, I think it's a good recommendation. It helps to just keep your weight in check. Some people mix it with coffee, like dark coffee and all of that. But I'm not a coffee fan. So cinnamon is good. I'll definitely try out some of this. I'll try out the noodles one because I haven't tried that. But I do with oats. I do with a lot of things. I wouldn't use it to cook my meals sometimes. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So who are we starting with? Angie, let me start with you. What's your news for today? Well, Maja Kuti released his pre-wedding photos with him and his partner. You know, one year after they got engaged. So they got engaged, I think, last year. And they tied the knot today. Yeah. And, you know, they released the pictures. And she's evil. I never knew. I know. And his school daughter. Yes. She was his school daughter. That's such a sweet story. I'm telling a very lovely love story. I was listening to it when I was on my way here. She said that. So when did he switch from being his school father? To a lover. To a lover. I know. So he said it was seven years later. Oh wow. They had left school seven years later. This time she was in the university. He had just finished. He had just finished and he came back to Nigeria. COVID then happened. After COVID, it was like after the lockdown. When they met, it was, they just picked up from web. Since there was already history with them. It was very easy. He was very easy. He didn't ask what it was. He liked the best about her. He had a smile. You know, that he can live with that smile for the rest of his life. I said, oh wow. It's sweet. But that's so sweet. I saw that. I never, you see, what shocked me the most was the fact that she was evil. Because, you know, like I had. So I didn't see her. I thought she was Yoruba or something. But when I saw her mother, where the Ichago. And she's full evil. She even did the palm wine, Karin. She didn't ask. Wow. That's beautiful. I would like to say that I feel like the family part of the family, they're a bit liberal. I don't know if the word I'll use will be liberal. I'm trying not to use any word that makes him look a different way. No, it's not like fella is... But I feel like, yeah, you would want to keep certain traditions within the clan. Let me put it that way. That's why I'm saying that I'm extremely shocked. Yeah, that's why. So for me, that's why I'm actually a bit... Not shocked, but I was like... You don't even get what I'm saying. The way she has incorporated the Afro-Bit culture to her lifestyle. That's why I'm saying that I'm extremely shocked that she's not even... Because I would have thought that she's part of the entire culture for Afro-Bit. She's completely... I think it just goes to say that when someone is a fit for you... She really embraced... Round hole, round hair. I'm telling you, so I wish them a beautiful marriage and a happy married life. I wish them all the best because there's nothing like beautiful love. The only prayer is that God just preserves the home. And I saw her mother-in-law... Her parents? Yeah, her parents-in-law. And I just have to applaud Femi and... Funke, Funke Kuti, yeah. The relationship has been divorced and stuff, but the relationship is just... It's beautiful. I mean, I wish that even though some parents are divorced and their marriage doesn't work out, but it would be nice if they maintained that friendship. I was just going to say that, you see, it's only immature people. Because I've not seen any reason that if I have a child for you, I've not seen the reason that I would become very hostile or you see all this fighting and all of that. There is absolutely nothing you're going to do to me because what I can do is accommodate your nuances and keep a very cordial relationship. Not because you are deserving of it, because definitely there would have been something that would have made me to say, and not do marriage again. But because we have children together, so it would be nice that people can take a cue from people like this, right? I might not be with you romantically anymore, but because there is a child in the matter. At some point, adults just need to drop all the nonsense. It's not about you at that point, it's about your child. So if it means that whatever anger or whatever you have, you are throwing it off the rack just to make sure that that child is raised in a very loving and healthy manner. That is what is needed. So I wish a lot of people can take a cue from that because I've seen some people who are no longer with the person. You start fighting unnecessarily. It doesn't make any sense to me, honestly. So that was a fantastic observation. Alright, I think we should talk about that one day. It would be nice. It's kind of a sensitive topic. It is, right? Oh, that's true. It just clicked. I just clicked it. We'll still need to talk about it. Or you come on my podcast. We'll just talk about it. It would be nice to hear from the perspective of the child, right? And it would also be nice to hear from the perspective of the person, the parties involved. Because again, sometimes if parents hear from the part of the child, this is how this affected them. Maybe the others will learn and make better decisions. Absolutely. I agree. Look at your story, Sanzee. I don't feel like taking my story anymore. Why? It's preferable to say more cliche, budgeting in Nigeria. So recently they got the SUVs, 360 SUVs for the National Assembly and whatnot. So there is a supplementary 2.17 trillion net, which is part of those funds, is a budget of 5 billion net for presidential yards and then 5.5 billion for student loan. And so I was reading a breakdown of, you know, the supplementary 2.17 trillion. So the federal government is to spend 6.9 billion on cars in this office and presidential villa. And also he's spending 2.9 billion on utility vehicles and 28 billion on the state house. I think for me, what the major thing that stood out for me is the fact that, I mean, over and over again, we've talked about prioritizing or just being considerate of the state of the nation and just being careful about the expenses you're making. You cannot make all these humongous budgets for yards. What do you need a yard for? And then you're making 5.5 billion for student loan and even higher than that for the first lady and renovation like. You see, when I was older first lady, I just want to remind the president, you know, and the entire family, the first family, that part of what they promised was that, you know, you are wealthy. Everybody knows that you are wealthy. And so the promise was that, you know, you were not coming to office to spend Nigeria's money, right? You were coming to office to actually, what's the word now, govern Nigerians and, you know, serve, right? New hope. Yeah. So, I mean, when we hear expenses like this, it kind of like begs the question, what exactly was the promise and those conversations about? Because, I mean, if you talk about cars and all of these things, these are things you already have. Like, do you get what I'm saying? I don't know how people do things, but every day I look at Nigeria, I keep on saying that if Nigeria were your business, like you... How would you manage it? You have it as your personal business that you are spending expenditures and all that. It's your money, you understand? Would you manage it the way it is being run now or you would do things differently? Like, literally, when we have that question at the back of our minds, it would just help a lot of things. You know, it would help a lot of things because it's just ridiculous. There are cars already, do you understand? There are things already. What is he using at the moment? I don't know, my sister. That's what I'm saying. So, it's okay for you to want to do like an upgrade or something. There should be a... By now, there should have been a plan in place on how to reuse the old cars. I don't know if you understand what I mean. Even if you cannot even reuse the old cars. No, there should be a benchmark. I've said this several times. NJ, if you work in a corporate organization and you are probably the manager, there is a cap to the kind of car that will be allocated to you as the manager. So, if they say your cap is 5 million and you say you want to drive a 15 million Naira car, you will go and bring 45 million Naira and add it to the 5 million. Do you get what I'm saying? Like, you cannot use a... What's it called? The company funds to buy that 50 million Naira car. It's impossible. So, that's what I'm saying, that we just need to find some level of... I don't even know what to call it. But it is ridiculous. There is a lot of suffering and I don't think these people understand how much suffering is out there. You understand? We are the ones that see the suffering. We see what people are going through. Every day you are passing by, somebody is begging you for money and all of that. Why can't you as a leader see the pain of people? It is very insensitive. Very insensitive for us to be thinking of buying yachts, buying cars and all of those things. When there are so many more things that this money can go into, that will bring a better livelihood for the entire nation. It's just ridiculous. The NLC president, there has been a lot of speculation that he was arrested. Yeah, he was arrested. But the police has come out to say that he wasn't arrested, that he was taken into protective custody, that they said that it is pertinent to state that the NLC president was in Norway as part of the arrangement of the Congress to mobilize workers for a mega-protest rally in the state. In the course of their planning, it was reported that suggestions arose for the lockdown of some essential facilities, particularly airports, which led to some workers and other individuals resisting the picketing process, leading to scuffles and heated arguments and an eventual attack on the person of the president by EMOP. Upon receiving that report, the EMOP police command swiftly deployed police operatives to the scene where the officer in charge exercises operational discretion by taking the NLC president into protective custody at the state command headquarters to ensure that the protection of his life and that he was not lynched in the scuffle that followed. So the commissioner of police thereafter directed that he should be taken to the police medical service where he would be accorded medical attention as a result of the attack. He has therefore been accorded adequate security cover to proceed to his other legitimate engagements for the day. So they said there was no such thing as an arrest because I saw it flying all over social media that he was arrested. Well, let him also come out to come and see what transpired. It would be nice to also hear from the horses mouth, but not from the police command. So we'll take a break now. Let's discuss illegal migration in Nigeria. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
