We're having a comprehensive discussion with a health expert. Workers in Kaduna states get a day less of work. Thanks to the approval from Governor Nassir Urufi, the four-day work week begins tomorrow. And it's messy again. The Argentine wins a record seventh Balondora cementing his place in history. A glad to have you join us on the breakfast in Plus TV Africa. I am Justin Atadone. And I am messy, Boko. It's good to have you join us as usual. Yes, and today we'll be kicking off as always with what's trending across our various spaces. Merci. You're looking smashing this morning. Thank you. Yeah. So what's in the news? Twitter is in the news. Jack Dosey has tapped down as the CEO of Twitter and an Indian yet again is, you know, taking over the hands of affairs of Twitter. Well, this actually has actually been a concern for Eliot's management, a major stakeholder of Twitter in 2020, if you remember. There were concerns that there were concerns that he could, you know, the fact that Jack was running Twitter, he was running Twitter and Square at the same time, there were serious concerns. Now, at that time, however, I think it was actually handled by if it's like they've come to, you know, compromise where he can't no longer, you know, be the CEO. The major concern is how do you run Twitter and also manage Square at the same time effectively? So usually, I'm sure that companies, you know, always come to that point where they have to make decisions at the end of the day, it's for the betterment, you know, of the company. It has to be for the common good of the company. And what have you bought, you know, some people have different opinion, the leadership of Jack Dosey, 16 years and what have you, some people think it's quite inspiring. And a lot of people also say that, oh, we're thankful for the fact that you created this, I mean, all of your ideologies and strategy and what have you, we have gained a lot of friends, but people are different. Of course, you can never have people two to one side. So like I always say, we don't have, there would always be relative, nothing is, you know, there would always be related. It's a great one, by the way. And indeed, again, the new guy there, Agarwal, you know, he's an Indian and he's just about 37, and he's doing very well for himself. And he has made at the top 500 CEOs in America. And he has a PhD at just 37. And of course, before Jack Dosey stepped down, he said he had so much faith in Parag Agarwal, you know, handling the affairs of Twitter. And that's a good one, because, you know, if you look at the antecedent and some of the things that he put out, if you see that letter of resignation that he put out, he mentioned the fact that, you know, Prager has always been the brain behind a lot of the innovations, some of the innovations that we have actually got for the company. And it's a good thing, you know, to see that he mentioned a couple of peasants, but he actually said that he is the right guy for the job. And he believes in him very, very well. So it's a good thing. And gradually, at the end of the day, when you have organizations like this, profit is actually it, putting out, you know, essential services, ensuring that, you know, they offer value for the morn is always, always the case. So I like the fact that whatever it is, maybe due to the fact that, like I mentioned earlier on the Elliott's management company, or the Elliott's management, which is a major stakeholder of Twitter, raised the concern of effectiveness. I'm sure that the issue of effectiveness has been a major issue of concern. And that's why he's expected to step down. Great one. Jack will definitely miss him, who will not be sending all of our complaints to him. But like some Nigerians have actually mentioned, we're hoping that Prager can, you know, help sort of the issue of Nigerians getting back on Twitter because with the fact that we know that a lot of persons are using VPN, yes, to tweet. It is not the same. It is actually not the same as it used to be. So you, because a lot of people are not on Twitter in the Nigerian space. And Twitter is, you know, it's unique. Yeah, Twitter is indeed. But like, but like I mentioned, we miss Jack, we wish him the best in his endeavor. See if you have like a person that can connect with Jack. I mean, every time you're on Twitter, you feel that connect with Jack. But actually bring the same vibe, you know, to the platform. You saw this drive, don't you? And again, it's very interesting to note that the Indians are actually taking over, per se, the, you know, the tech space, what with their CEOs or CEOs of a major tech companies, Microsoft, you know, if you just adobe, you know, most of them, all of them really just. So you might just be interested to know that Prager has actually been working behind the scene over the years. And so for some of the ideas and everything that you have actually seen, like Jack has actually come out to state, it's kind of a sea of Prager. So he's a great guy. And of course, we're going to get used to having Prager and channel it all back. There's, there's, there's a smile to your face where you mentioned the dosy. What do you know, tell me, I see me have some huge crush on Jack Dosey. So for every time you talk about Jack, I mean, 16 years, he has actually if you look at the ladder of, you know, growth, if you see how he's moved from being, you know, co-founder, you know, chairman, executive interim CEO, and all that, he's really, he's really moved. And it's really, really quite an inspirational story and journey for him. All we can say is we wish Jack the very best, just that we wouldn't be able again to channel all of our complaints to Jack. I mean, some people made some, I would call that a joke. Some people say, you know, the CEO of Jack has actually quit Twitter. Who are we? Not that he's quit, but I mean, the space is still very open to him. It's a good one. It happens everywhere, especially, no, it does happen. It does happen because at the end of the day, you would look at the company, the interests of the company would always be, you know, a priority. And let's even assume that it was a country, let's assume that Twitter was a country. So at the end of the day, it would always be for the interests of the company. It actually looks like a nation really, because there are all sorts of people you find on Twitter. You find the goods, the bad, the ugly, the weirdos, the techies. I'm a major fan. I see. I'm great on Twitter. I love Twitter. And I feel like Twitter is actually for a great mind, really. I'm not saying, but if you're on Twitter. Okay. She just took a swipe of me. Okay. Fine. I'll try and get into the whole, you know, Twitter bug as it is. So I can start tweeting and start smiling, you know, as mercy is spilling. All right. Speaking about Messi, another Messi, this time around, Lionel Messi wins the seventh Ballon d'Or. Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi, me, not your Messi right now. Well, so for this particular one, you know how the argument is that he is the goat. And this is for the seventh time. But this is actually very controversial because Robert Lewandowski, there's also another argument that this is a robbery. He doesn't deserve it. Yeah. That's another argument. So let me just quickly say if I can look at, you know, some of the facts and argument that some of the fans have actually put out. And they're saying that Messi for this particular one, he doesn't deserve it. And that's because, you know, if you look at Lewandowski, he scored 47 goals in 2020, 64 goals in 2022. And the big cry out there in the space is that, you know, Lionel Messi doesn't deserve this one. And he should have gone to Lewandowski. But of course, so there's a lot of arguments. Some people say because of the skin, he was deprived of this in 2020. But I think that he's been very fantastic. If you look at the performance, no, no, no, apart from that, but you also, you know, you need because the majority, if you look at the argument of the majority is the fact that he's been robbed. I mean, look at the arguments and all of that that's been put in 2020. He was deprived of this. A lot of people are saying as much as Messi is fantastic, but they should have actually gone to Robert Lewandowski. And I don't know. I started in the middle, maybe played a devil's advocate. I don't belong here. I don't belong there. But the point is, I don't know. But if he should have gotten to him, he should have gotten to him. And I think that Lewandowski has actually been an amazing, fantastic, his don't well. If you look at the season, like we've mentioned, and I really do not know what reason, what is the yardstick? Because for every time you have all of these awards, you begin to ask yourself, what are the measures? What do we use to get to this point? As much as I know that I love football and sports and sporting events, not that I'm very great into it. I can't really tell how they actually arrive at Messi being that. But some people will say, Messi have won a lot of international. You want to mention all of that, several awards. I mean, you can see on the screen, the kids always cheering and the fam is a great one. But fingers crossed, the argument still continues. We're hoping that Lewandowski would actually be given another opportunity. Maybe 2022, he definitely will win that one. But the truth is that I still believe in Lewandowski. He's just a fantastic player. Over the years, he has proven his worth and his sword. And I'm sure the process involved in selecting who gets to go home with that golden ball is actually very open and very transparent. So you also remember the fact that, I mean, there's also another argument. I know it followed the match, but not entirely. But you would see that Messi is no longer in Barcelona. Some people say that at the end of the day, due to the fact that he couldn't really win, his performance wasn't really, really awesome and great like that. He was brought over to the PSG and what have you. But, you know, I just don't like to get into that argument before the fans of Messi begin to drag me to the left or to the right. But I've always had a thing against Messi, not that. So because you know Messi plays for Argentina, right? And for everything in Nigeria, we'd have to have an encounter with Argentina over the years. It breaks my heart. So every other time, the last time we actually won Argentina, I don't remember, 1998 or 1996. So you're holding on to that? Yeah, I'm still holding on to that because Messi would always make a mess of, you know, the Super Eagles and it breaks my heart. I literally used to cry. But you know, I think I've actually grown all of that right now. But now, however, we wish him the very best. A great one. We're not saying that Messi is not a fantastic player. But if you look at the performance of Lewandowski over the years and then, you know, in the season last year and right now, one would probably think that he should have actually gone with this award. Well, congratulations, Lionel Messi. You go boy. Away from all of that. Back here in Nigeria, Keduna State is also trending, making headlines for a term, Sable 7 said to get another, just one day off work, permanently Adobe working just four days a week. And that the extent, there's been some of my extension, you know, for the Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. But then when I read the statement yesterday, Messi, the reason why the government says it is given that particular one day off work, you know, is so that workers can actually spend more time with their family, spend less to balance work, to balance work-life relationship amongst those among the workers. And of course, they can also find time to, you know, do agriculture and all of that. As well, that's really brilliant. And I'm thinking that, you know, when we'd work, you know, it goes beyond having work and all of that. A lot of people would argue for what is the working condition of workers. Remember, we have been having this conversation about the railway workers and all of the concerns. So yes, it could be that you have, you know, going back with a fact fake trick. It might be the case for you. And but what are the other pegs? So you have to talk about the holidays, the incentives, and one of you as brilliant as that sounds. But there are other arguments and on the two, they would always be following that, the lights of Reino has actually raised and he's saying that I really do not know how that is. But he's saying, yes, it sounds very brilliant. I'm hoping I wish I could actually read his, you know, tweet and comment the way he actually put it. But in the paraphrase, in paraphrase, he's saying that there might just be an undertone of the fact that Christians actually have a holiday that don't work on Sundays. So this is also just trying to put, yeah. So it's also trying to, you know, put the counterparts that's to Muslim on the other hand. But for me, I would say that one of the things that has divided us as a country is the fact that we are always tilting towards, you know, religious differences and all of that. I'm thinking that is item that we put all of this behind and embrace ourselves as Nigerians, whether or not we're Christians or Muslim, it doesn't really matter. The most important thing is that we're Nigerians. And that's why for me, it's usually difficult when you ask me, where are you from? Are you a Christian or not? The most important thing is I'm a Nigerian and you're a Nigerian. And you know, let's have a great talk. All right. And indeed, even before this new policy in Keduna State, if you check around, I was just discussing with a colleague just before we came on air, sort of having sort of a pre-chat, you know, if you check what goes on around the North, because I served in Katzina specifically, Fridays, it's practically like a half day or no work at all. For instance, the workers, they resume in the morning before 10, before 12, they are all gone. So you see the fact that, you know, so you see the contents of Reno, you know, that he's raised. He's saying that maybe this is just the way of saying, let's also declare a public holiday for Christians, just as, you know, for Muslims, just as Christians don't have to work on Sundays. It's not just for Christians. The Sunday is for practically everyone. It's just that most Christian go to church on Sunday. Because Sunday, yeah, that's the point now. Because Sunday is Sunday and everyone knows that a lot of Christians across would always observe and then they don't have to go to work. And people are already saying that you would also have, now in his, you know, in his remark and the comments following that particular reaction, there's a fact that you will also have a lot of peasants or other nothing states who would also imbibe this, who would copy this particular pattern, but fingers across. And this are just what you call it conspiracy theory that would always be there. People would always talk, and besides, in my opinion, it is good. But overall, I mean, it's good for those who are, if we forget about all the religious, you know, undertone or biases as it were, the fact is that if I were maybe a civil servant in Keduna state, and I'm not working, I'd use it ordinarily to make some more money somehow or spend quality time with family, you know, going to agriculture like the government. Rest is very important. I feel like a lot of people, because we actually in this, you know, rat race, the rat race that would never get to an end, whenever we, you know, the rat race, we can never get to that point where we say we're all right. But rest is very important. So, first of all, it's important, apart from the fact that there are insinuations that this could also have a political undertone. I mean, sorry, a religious undertone. But I mean, to consider the fact that, you know, workers need to spend time with family, friends, and also attend to other issues, it's really thoughtful of the government of Keduna state aside of every other concern. All right. So that's what's happening in Keduna state. They get to work four days a week at starting from December 1st that is to tomorrow, tomorrow is December. Merci. Yes. Christmas is here. Merry Christmas to you. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you. Well, we need to move away right now. That's the much we can actually take at this point in time. Talking about our top trending conversations, generating reactions from different species in the country. We will step on the brakes when we return. We definitely come through with the paper review. And of course, you're going to have, I guess, join us to make sense of all of this. Please take a moment. Good morning.
