Jab star   ll akan glance కకి సికచామౌ స్ఠసికినా , ఆవతాకిన్, లాఫైశదాచా, మ఻ణ్యె ఢ stinky థెగ్నతికాకిస్. మారం Mats స్రురుామునానా జతచనికిటల్కంచల౎ Like you said, this is about Biosa, Imo and Kogi given material elections and so elections are the foundation of democratic governance and as they promote political accountability, citizen's participation and give voice and part to the people. The elections in Biosa, Imo and Kogi are off-cycle elections deviating from the regular electoral cycle of general elections in March. So what is the role, what are the roles of the governors, so the chief executives of the states are responsible for state administration, law enforcement and the implementation of state laws. And of course what are the challenges that you know voters that mitigate against voters' participation. We have corruption, we have limited voters' education, we have voter apathy and we have instances of violence. So let's quickly do like a comparison of 2019 versus 2023. So in 2019, now this is about Biosa. In 2019 there were 922 562 registered voters compared to 2023 that gives a record of 1,056 862. That's very interesting and then there was 146 999 voters, votes that were cast compared to 2023 which has 1,009,895. That is 1,009,895 is the record for collected PVCs in 2023. We do not have a record for 2019. Now in 2019 we have, sorry again. I don't even think they put the votes cast for 2023 for Biosa. That's what you, that's where you are on. No it didn't, exactly. This is just going to be, you know, a new election. But you can see the numbers. Yes, I wish they could project this. I'm getting involved in political cycles. Yes, which is, I mean. Koge looks really interesting as well. The margin for Koge is quite close and Imo state as well. Imo was 2.2 registered voters in 2019 and 2023. You had about 2.4 registered voters. So it gives us a bit of, you know, clarity. Yeah, yeah. Glo, you want to come in? Yeah, for Koge we had about, that's 2019, about 1,646 during 250 registered voters. That's against 2023, which we have about 1.9. So about 300,000 different voters, like close sort of. And we have for the collected PVCs, you can see we have about 1.8. There is no record for 2019. But if you look at the bigger 1.8, that shows how people are interested in this. Absolutely. Yeah, compared to the registered voters. Yeah, compared to the registered voters. And we have for, on collected PVCs, that's 100. So we have for accredited voters for 2019. That's Koge still 636. And we have voters casted for 2019. That's 624. So we're just going to watch and see the votes being casted this for this current election. So what are the key actions for citizens? So what should be expected of you? What's your civic responsibility towards this current election? We expect you to register to vote and select credible candidates. Do not be biased in your choices. You know, look for who the people you believe can cause a change in your various states. And vote, not fight. Please vote, do not fight. I say vote, do not fight. And protect your vote on election days. Absolutely. I keep them accountable. So for the Biasa-Ima and Koge states, just five days left. So the government elections would happen November 11, 2023. So remember that this is the office of the citizen, right? Chat box. You just say hello on WhatsApp to 01-700-6381. You get to know your elected officials, your governors, senators, House of Rep members, State House of Assembly members, local government, chairman and councilors. So I mean, for those in Imo, Koge and Biasa, I'm wishing you guys would look like you mentioned RSVP. Select credible candidate. Make sure you read their manifesto and watch out. See what is happening in the house. When they buy one, there are 60 million guys. Because we just... Don't do that. Read about them. Learn. Cause votes do not be violent. Don't fight and protect your votes on election days. Stay there and keep holding them accountable. Count your votes live at the polling unit. Alright, so today we want to discuss this our project. We will not let it go. And here's what we found this today's quote. It says, abuja cannot pay its bills. We have to get to serious work. Abuja, as it is today, is choking. This was from Professor Chukuma Chaosoludo, the former central bank of Nigeria. So the former governor of central bank of Nigeria. So as I mentioned earlier, last week, the president presented a supplementary budget of 2 trillion that came with controversial line items such as the presidential yacht, which here they have taken delivery of. Even though they say that they did not buy it. So we don't know what to believe. The purchase of vehicles worth 1.5 billion Naira, as well as 100 billion Naira are located to the FCT. Now these elicited angry reactions from Nigeria, which led to dropping the yacht and increasing the student loan section to about 10 billion. That story is still a bit sketchy. However, all the line-ups remain. And today, of course, we are joined by Kemesit. We will join us much later to discuss the FCT cut of the budget. And we are asking in the largest sense, what can 100 billion do for Nigeria's economy? That 100 billion has been allocated to the FCT. What can it do for the Nigerian economy? But first, this week we have gone on break. When we come back from that break, we want to see what we found in today's news. Thank you for staying with us now. International day for prevention or preventing rather the exploitation of the environment in war and armed conflict is observed annually on November 6th to raise awareness about the devastating impact of war and armed conflict on the environment. This day also serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the environment during times of conflict. Very, very important day. Sometimes there are all the streets, there are all these silent rules that you can't go there, you can't go there. Even in the midst of war, there are some things you're supposed to just preserve. So I hope it is followed through. But it's an important day. D, what did you find for us in today's news? This one is alarming for me because it says cooking gas, scarcity, heat, leaguers, kano, katsina and other states. So up until a couple of months ago, I know the 12.5 kg gas was about, it was going for like 9,000. Then it jumped to like about 10,000. And then now it's 14,000 plus. That's even if you say, you know. So I was very interested in that because I mean, gas is, I mean, most of the cities in Nigeria are quite urban. So you would expect that a lot of people are using gas in homes and all that. So there is a report that says that the Nigerian liquefied natural gas made available about 20 metric tons of cooking gas for a price and it's actually baffled as to why there is this scarcity. So for me, I don't know if it is artificial or just, you know, in terms of speculation because they probably feel there's not policy coming on or just the law of markets, you know. But either way, I know that Nigerians also were very, we take things like this very literally, you know. We try to say that's okay, you know what, because there's going to be a scarcity or there is a scarcity. You think this is the time to buy gas and keep at home. That's dangerous because this is very hot season. Is it the end of year effect? Again, very possible. If we should not remind you of my misery. You know, we are in the middle of a project, right? Yeah. Hey, Father Lord, this was going to be sleepless night. When I finish like this, I'm going to sleep. Literally like every day you call your suppliers for this. The price is changing. Honestly, you won't blame them. Even me, you are talking about a story. Because I need to buy at least three, what's it called, cylinders and fill them up in preparation for the... You just have to... No, I mean, for me, I get that. That's the way we do things because we understand that this is Nigeria. But I would just say that let us also take safety measures. That's all you can say. That's it, yeah. Louis, how about you? Mine is about Mr Aibu. So reports coming on today said he got one of his legs amputated. And I decided to take this story because I know all about taking care of someone with a terminal disease. I know when this story came out where he was requesting, or his family was requesting for assistance tonight, so many were there. His reach, why is he asking for that? If it's someone that's gone through that, you know, there comes a point where it's almost like no amount of money is enough because there are some diseases where he just keeps spending. So all I want to wish him quick recovery. So from the reports, it states here as at one p.m. noon today that he has gone through seven successful surgeries but to keep him alive and increase his chances of recovery, one of his legs had to be amputated. This development has been hard on us all but we've had to accept it as that is new reality to keep him alive. I just wish him quick recovery. I mean we've lost a lot of actors and people in the entertainment industry this year. We don't want to lose anymore so he's in our prayers and I hope so. So I'm actually really afraid for him. I had my staff mom who was diabetic and at some point when it gets to that place that point where they begin to amputate you really is a 50-day chance. I really pray for him honestly. So with diabetes, I have people that are living with diabetes around me and I know that there's some level of what's the word, non-discipline that comes with that. So there are some illnesses that you can just leave your life. You can manage it. With diabetes specifically there's a lot of discipline that goes with diabetic management. So when it gets to that point where your legs are being amputated it means that you have really really gone to the critical stage of diabetes. So it's now a 50-50 thing you really must pray. Because I mean I've heard so many stories of people that by the time they did that in a few months something happens. So I just pray that would not be his own situation because he's quite on the big side. So even outside of this amputation there has to be a lot of psychotherapy because first of all he's an alarm light. He's a celebrity. He's lived his life. He's done a lot of things. Now coming to the reality of wanting to I mean now using one leg. So there will be a lot of depression. There will be a lot of fighting. There will be a lot of things that would go with that. So the funding is not just money they need. They need a lot of partnership. So if this is the time start reaching out to all the psychotherapists they know. I mean all the physiotherapists, psychotherapists, all of those mental health specialists. This is the time because if the amputation does not kill you the pressure, do you understand? So there are so many things I need to battle. Then again he needs to then speak to someone that is a nutritionist and that is also like a fitness coach because you see by the time also with diabetes your weight also helps. If you are able to at least keep your weight on there a certain year it helps. So I'm just praying and I'm wishing him you know spirit recovery and I'm hoping that he will come out of this stronger and better. To take a break when we come back from that break, let's discuss a boujee. Stay with us over right back.
