 All right, you are still watching Waze. Now every year, this day, Utya and I are in the studio, approximately on the 2nd of June in 1975. Sex workers occupied St. Neesier Church in Lyon, France, to express their anger about their criminalized and exploitative living conditions. The hunger banner from the stipple, which read, Our children do not want their mothers to go to jail and launched a media campaign to broadcast their grievance to the world. Their actions made national and international news headlines and also started a strike that involves sex workers from all over France and created a legacy of activism that is celebrated each year on International Sex Workers Day. So that day has birthed this day. This day is actually very, very important. The role of sex workers in the lives of human beings. They are helping marriages. They are helping... Well, what are you saying? What am I saying? So you do what the sex workers are doing. You cannot. So let's recognize that I acknowledge their work. Yes. Let's understand that they are actually feeling anything. Let me tell you something. Without sex workers, a lot of things would have gone wrong. But they are there, you know, so we cannot ignore the fact that they are there and their industry is actually a multi-billion dollar industry because now That's what has happened. Sex workers have moved from being on the red lights district on the street. Now, they are on your Instagram. They are doing BBL. So I mean, you cannot ignore that we have sex workers and they are doing their job. They are helping lives. Was that one side only fan? See, I never know that one side. I know there is an extra that exists like that. So I mean, it's true. It is legal in quite a few countries to a degree variation. I think somewhere around 42 million sex workers globally. I think they are more than that. No, they are more than that. But in the places where... It's legalized so that they have like... Yeah, yeah, they are about. But it's a thing, right? Because there are religions and faith and all of that that are against it. And then on the other side, you probably have feminists who are like a woman has the right to choose whatever she wants to do and it's fine. And in a world that has commercialized sex so much, I think, you know, the definition of sex worker needs to be broadened. I'm telling you. Because there are people who are not having sex but they're doing the acts or different fetishes and stuff online and people are paying them tons and tons of money. That lady that found Jesus and started taking out all her implants. Is it Black China? Yes, Black China. She was making tons of money, right? Not in the literal sense. So it's a profession. People are making... I mean, who do you think religion that is turning against it? The main place does, they are patronizing there. Come on, who patronizes there? Is it me or you? Eh, we're... Do you want me to say something? I mean, it's a thing. Like you said, it's an industry, a flourishing industry at that. And it's been...it's increased over time. We also have the online aspect of it. I mean, in Nigeria we have the hookups and all of that. So it's a thing. I can always say that as much as this day has been celebrated, let's also talk about health of sex workers and also how they should pay attention to more of this health stuff. I think that should also be the direction of attention on a day like this. I was just going to say to you that the funny thing about these sex workers, right? When you talk about STDs and all of those things, you know, hardly. Because those ones, they're a lot more...they don't attach emotion to...it's a job for them. So, well, I like the fact that you're calling attention to their health is very important, you know. But the truth is, if there is no market, there will not be any goods... Supply and demand, basically. I mean, the health part is very important. I mean, I know we're talking about it from the aspect of the legalized people, but then there are great many that are working in dangerous situations. There are women at risk, who that's their only option to feed themselves or survive and all of that. So, I mean, there are multiple sides to it. And this just shines a spotlight on all of it. So happy International Sex Workers Day. On that note, Lorie, let's quickly run through our news. What did you find for us in the news today? My words in the news, it's just to debunk the story that came up a few days ago about Myra being devalued. I remember on Thursday there about very early in the morning, one of my bosses called me saying, oh, she heard Myra has been devalued. And what are we going to do? Because things like that really affect our operation as a company very directly, almost immediately. So I'm happy that the story is not true. So it reads, the Naira closed at 461.76 per dollar at the investors and exporters window on Thursday, a 0.16 cobalt drop from the 461.60 traded in the previous session. This slide drop came amid a viral story claiming that the Central Bank of Nigeria had devalued the Naira currency to 630 per dollar. The Sibian has since denied the claim, labelling it fake news. In the statement signed by its acting director of corporate communication, Issa Abdul-Lamin, the Sibian said, we wish to state categorically that this news report, which is in the imagination of newspapers as exclusive, is replete with outright falsehood and destabilizing in windows, reflecting potentially willful ignorance of the set medium as the workings of the Nigerian foreign exchange market. So I'm happy it's not what it is because then again, when we have situations like this, most of the times it's always because we're looking at a positive impact in the economy as a whole, but usually we don't usually get the sort of results we are expecting. So I'm happy for now, Naira has not been devalued, it is what it is. So back to you Owa. Why are you happy though? Because this 461 to a dollar is for the 1% of the 1%. Why are you happy? The person that's buying the goods doesn't buy it for 61. When Naira is devalued, Nigeria was still heavily reliant on imports. No, you're not getting the question. You're taking on the side of the story that says that Naira is devalued, and I'm asking you, when have you bought Naira at $461? The 461 is for the 1% of the 1%. The goods that you buy that are imported, they're certainly not bought at $461. So why are you upset that the dollar is devaluing? That's a narrative that we need to ask ourselves about. We're in the open market, we still buy dollar at $750,000, $760,000. Did somebody offer you a dollar at $630, now you won't jump at it? I think I'll beg them. Go ahead. We're in a meeting following the increment of the pump prices. This story was reported much earlier in the day, and this is where the NLC was trying to come to a decision following their meeting with representatives of the federal government, which of course was reported that that ended in a deadlock. So I've also then, following on from this story, now gone on to see that a press release has been put out by the NLC that says notice on mobilization for nationwide withdrawal of services. So now following the meeting is decided that the Congress will embark on a nationwide action and withdrawal of services against the fraudulent increase in the price of fuel across the 36 states of the federal Republic of Nigeria and the FCT, which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday the 7th of June, and they're calling on all state chairpersons to mobilize workers for the action and ensure full compliance. So we watch and see. I mean, we've seen releases like this and eventually they come to some sort of agreement before that date. So this is very much a watch the space situation. Okay. So controller general of the Nigerian customs, Colonel Hamid Ali, had announced that they have inaugurated a $3.2 billion modernization project to end manual operations during this inauguration project management, sorry, of the project management office in Abuja. He has expressed his delight about the project and he said that this is aimed at full automation of the Nigerian customs system operations, right? And he explained this would improve the processes and eliminate corruption in the system. You know what? I have nothing to say. I honestly have nothing to say about this, but I thought to mention it. There's a lot going on in the country and as I said yesterday, I will still say it again. We are tired of vague, what's it called, promises, right? What exactly is the plan? What would these do down to the very core, but what are the details of this e-system? How would it, you know, like, I mean, back, whatever it is that you're doing, back it with data, let's see what it is that you're doing and say, okay, yes, we can also put our thumbs on it and say, okay, yes, this would go far, instead of just making very juicy promises that you think Nigerians want to hear. Controller General, we'll see you guys after the break. Stay with us.
