 All right, thanks for staying with us. Now, you are still watching Waze, Human Resource Professional Day. It's celebrated on September 26th every year. It is a day to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of HR professionals. Now, HR professionals play a vital role in organization of all sizes, helping to recruit higher and develop employees, especially on creating a very healthy work environment and ensuring employees are fairly treated and they are also treated with respect and dignity. Very, very critical role. So, I don't know. I think we had this, when you once said, when we talked about this day last year, you know, I think if there ever was a time where HR professionals are critical in organizations, now is really the time. Because again, with the rise, I mean, the changing economy, the voracious nature of our economic power, you know, some of us are, I mean, some people are actually struggling, keeping up with, you know, being able to even live, your living expenses and all of that. So, every, I mean, I was speaking with my HR, my HR today, I was talking to her, I said, see, we need to sit down and see how we can just put some buffers, you know, in terms of salary restructuring. Add a few thousands here just to help make sure that everybody is. So, now is the time, we need that humanity, because a lot of people are, I mean, they say that part of what caused the traffic today is because of the speculations around increase, increment again in the fuel situation. So, I mean, if there was ever a time where HR personnels and professionals are head of departments, they need to really sit down with the management of the company to say, you know what, how do we mitigate some of this hardship that is coming on people? A lot of creativity is needed right now, I think. First of all, having a human face is very important. People need to think beyond, I know that there's also thinking about the money, thinking about the bottom line for the company, but I think that beyond money as well, there are a lot of other things that HR professionals who are thinking broadly can also do to help people. Things like looking at maybe extending KTMO plans to other family members, maybe parents. Not everything has to be direct cash, but there just has to be some creativity. Because I mean, companies are also, we're all struggling in the same economy, right? You're not liquid, the company sometimes are also not as buoyant or making as much money, because someone was saying to me today how she's spending a, she's having to buy a thousand liters of diesel, and diesel is now over a thousand naira. So imagine now having to spend over a million for your business just to buy diesel, and that money might not make it through the whole, that diesel might not get you through the whole month. So businesses are also struggling. So I think that the best HR professionals today are looking at creating, things like creating the right kind of culture is very important. People today, when they're going to get jobs, they're asking questions like, do you work remotely? Do you offer hybrid? All of these things are, they're not essentially direct costs. You're adding to the salary, but they're things that, so it's thinking broadly now around how you manage your people, how you still make your company a good place, a good hire, somewhere that people still want to, a good place to work, and you have people engaging with the work that you're doing and you're still able to retain talent because beyond JAQPA, as people are JAQPA, and people are also moving around locally. So even being able to retain your talent locally. It's tough. It's very important, absolutely, absolutely. So I mean, to all our HR professionals, they have a lot of job to do in this season. We wish you guys wisdom, because you need it, absolutely. So what do we find in this? Jelana, come to you. NLC and the Antrade Union, the Trade Union Congress, have declared an indefinite strike starting October the 3rd, and they have told Nigerians to stockpile foodstuffs because the strike will shut down the economic activities in the country. So, you know, about two or three weeks ago, when they were talking about this strike, it was just NLC. TUC kept saying, oh, they're not a part of it. They're not interested. But now that they're in some form of agreement, I honestly don't know. And this is, well, as a result, their excuse is it's the result of the removal of the petrol subsidy, you know, and the continuous demonstration and willingness and complete lack of initiative by the government, you know, to alleviate the sufferings of the people. So October 3rd, that's just a couple of days away. Yeah, next Tuesday. So when they say we should stockpile. Yeah, no, believe this. Two people. We have no belief in stockpile. We have no belief in stockpile. They want to see the stock. We will, we will, we will survive. Please, please, please, please. I don't believe they don't see it, honestly. I don't believe that. What the strike will look like. Yeah, because like, I think they are relevant, you know, maybe they don't see that they don't, they are not relevant in this situation. People don't even want the strike. Nobody wants the strike. They're not relevant. Uti, I mean, Mary is laughing, but is it true? You've lost relevance, but you're just not accepting it that your words don't hold any weight in it. It's kind of like, you know, relevance back up. Which will gain its weight. So the question is who are they fighting for? So what are you asking for? And what's realistic? So I don't even know what the ask is, but I think the very first time they were saying how they should reverse their subsidy completely. It's not possible. So I think that it's really just, what exactly... I mean, wasn't what you just said, if they want to take the petrol to 1000, let them take it, let us over, let them take it. Because at this point, I've had it. You understand? The only pain that I feel is that, see, I mean, if you calculate how much, what's it called? Gas costs. When you're fueling your tank abroad. It's quite expensive. But you will not find them spending 10 hours in traffic. Do you understand? So even if the price of the petrol wants to go up, let us even have good motorable roads. So that you know that, okay, yes, if I tell you I'll be there in five minutes, I'm there in five minutes. Maybe I don't like this your smile. Let me charge you a piece. 15 on the road in for many years. And like, are we now saying that now, when they increase the petrol, now they're fixing it? Let's leave government to thank you. Okay. What did you find for us in the news? We have spoken. Veteran actor Yemi Ademi, aka Suara. Suara, yes. Suara passes on. Oh, wow. According to the statement released on Monday, September 25, 2023, by the bereaved family Ademi died on Sunday, September 24, 2023. The statement is signed by the deceased son, Adi, Dotun Ademi. It reads, it is with a heavy heart, but we total submission to God that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, Uliyemi Lawrence Ademi, who went to be with the Lord on Sunday. For those who remember him from Super Story. It was very sad, but he left his mark on it. Absolutely. Absolutely. Me, so rest in peace. Hussain, welcome to you. So my story is actually a few days old, but I saw it and I thought if no one had taken it, I would just bring it up. It says monthly sanitation to resume in Lagos and that's right, our governor, Babajideh Sanlou, says he hints that the state's monthly sanitation campaign would be brought back. So I think this will stop sometime in 2016 if I remember correctly. Yeah, on Monday. And this was the Saturday morning cleaning. It says that he was going around last Friday on inspection to check adherence to the government's environmental cleaning measures in various parts of the state. And he was expressing his displeasure as to what he found in terms of people flouting environmental regulations, trading along roadsides, under bridges, even visiting the under bridge in Lagos Island, of course, which caught fire the other day. And I think that the story for me is not even about environmental sanitation. I think that the place of public education, right, people, we've never had, well, I shouldn't say that that's strong, Loma brought some sanity into Lagos in terms of how the disposal of rubbish and refuse and all of that was handled. But prior to that, there was that community awareness in terms of education, people understanding that, you know, cleaning out your gutters, people coming together to clean their neighborhoods. There was a lot of education around that at the grassroots level. So even though people all had it placed up, maybe they were going through rubbish and they were burning and all of that, but there was that knowledge. So today you've scrapped this for fire. What is it now? We're not going to do math anymore, seven years plus. And all of a sudden you're saying, oh, people are not adhering to the regulations. Are you still teaching people? Are you still telling people about it? What are the regulations? Even when you talk about, thank you, when you talk about the markets, you know, what work is being done to make sure that, you know, these yellow jars and the markets are set up, they're cleaning, they're taking care of the environment. One of these things are important. So you all of a sudden locking us down again for a few hours on a Saturday morning, saying we should clean. That's not the problem. That's not the solution. Right? You have all these, what are they called? Is this CSO, Sky and all the rest of them? All these, let them do their jobs, go out, educate people, and let's get this done the right way. As long as we continue to have people driving on the road on Saturday, like if I had, we have told them, government, they're not happiness. Give us authority. Give us Kuboko. Do you understand? Like, give me the capacity to be able to slap somebody. Because you see some, what is it? It will grow extremely. You're not getting the point. The logic behind it is that we have to enforce, first of all, the culture of this no-liter, and with so much, what's it called, adherence. Yeah, the same way when they start, if you talk on the phone, you don't have to, this no-liter, let us even start from there. You'll see a, somebody is an SUV. Would you want to call, yeah. You can't, like yesterday, I think he went and speeded up the way now. In Mexico, she was inside an SUV. Now brought out a canned, one of these canned drinks. Immediately, she just warmed up and dumped it. I can't. Literally. Literally, I can't, that you're saying. I can't. I actually rode in a car one day with somebody to Ibadom. And the whole journey there, he was complaining about the government, he was talking, if he was in office, this was going to do this, he's going to do it. After Ibadom, you know, if you go to Ibadom, you go to Ibadom. After we both had our lives, we were rushing back to beat traffic. And he's in the car. I would try to. And as soon as he finished. He just wound down. Washed his hands. You know? The shock with which I was. No. No. The one that happened to me, this was the person that was inside my car. But I said, Olga, it's not where I am. Bring the debt. Is it bad? I got a call. He said, no, no, no, I said, we are complaining about government, we are the problem. Yeah, what is it? So first of all, start build that culture. You see my car, right? Let it be dirty. Yeah. When I come back. When I get to my house. You clean it up. My investigative guy would help me clean it up. That is better. But you're part of the government. That's the government. It is a lack of creativity that just disturbs me. Because why would you resume Saturday sanitation? How many of us here sit on this table? Did you ever get one Saturday to say you want to clean? Yeah, me I did. I did. I did when I was serving. My NYSE. I was in 2006. I was living in somebody's house. The ma wanted to use us to remove all the grease stain. And I've been there for years. So every Saturday morning, you wake me up and you see my sister. I did when I was younger. Do you understand what I'm saying? But literally, it is, like I said, it is the lack of creativity. So it's the awareness for me in that somebody like that doesn't think about it and doesn't know that she shouldn't do it. And it's so many things. When you talk about the culture for me, it's so many things. It's like when in this year, lucky, I see people in their big SUVs driving one way just because they cannot wait. And I'm like, tomorrow that same person go open their mouth and say the government is the problem. I mean, I say it all the time. The government didn't fall from the sky. They were happy. So talking about this thing, because this one is a sad news. Business Day wrote a report that more troubles for travelers as Nigerian passport face devaluation. So as it is now, netting it. No, no face devaluation, passport face devaluation. I'm telling you. It's not true. It says that apart from the high fares, Nigerians have to pay to travel to other countries. Nigerians holding green passport are faced with another problem of experiencing visa on arrival denials. So it's more of all those countries that you go visa on arrival for several countries as a result of the devaluation of the passport globally. So in a recent release, third quarter, Henley passport index, which is an authoritative ranking of all world passports, according to the number of destinations their holders can access without prior visa, Nigeria takes the bottom spot as a country with one of the 20 worst passports to hold in 2023. Can I just point out that you are 200 plus million people who have a penchant for migration. Now, this thing that is happening, there are a bunch of factors so that we don't just say it in isolation. Like, somebody just said passport and because of the rain, there are factors around this. The fact is, yes, economic situation shows that our net migration is going up. People are leaving the country in droves. The fact is, these countries that offer visa on arrival is based on certain assessments. Sharing that you're going to go home. What's happening in your country? All of these things play a factor. So it's not just because some people sometimes feel like they say, which one to say, think about Nigerians. It's not about, you know, migration and these policies, they exist to protect countries. I mean, look at America at the moment. America is facing a huge problem. Like literally, people are just trekking to America. Like, everything that makes me happy when I see those reports is that it's not Africans. You know, in Europe, they show us crossing in boats, we're hanging on the side of the boat, we're seeing all of this. I mean, the American one is Venezuela, Mexico, all of those guys, right? But they are literally, like I saw that report today and I was distressing to see people leaving their belongings behind, crossing the water, over the buoys, over the razor wire, just to get to America. Meanwhile, the America that they're trying to get to, they're about to face a government shutdown. So in fact, the whole world right now, it is not so, can we just accept that the whole world has gone crazy because America is facing a government shutdown for probably the second or third time. Unheard of, like, I mean. So the problems in this world are Nigerian passports. Okay, so in other words, in leave, that's the English, in leave of what she has said, face your God. Face your country. What is the hassle? What is the hassle? What is the hassle in the right way?
