 All right, on public safety, no one is safe until we all are safe. Today, we're going to propose another minute's silence to the daily departed Uluwa Bamiche and Yawole. He was brutally murdered and away from work in a state-owned public transportation system, owned and acquitted by the state, Lagos State. The little disturbing and slightly confusing were to begin to address this issue from. We'll take it from a public safety perspective, or from the endemic that has invaded our states. And as a matter of fact, our country, the hydra-headed monster called ritual kin. Why are they closely related in these two topics? Because every ritual kin requires a victim. Anyways, a victim, so many times, in many cases, has been failed by a system where public safety and security is a growing risk and a growing concern. Now, from a public safety perspective, the government simply needs to do more. There are three quick fixes, three quick steps that have been adopted to make immediate impact. One, the public must be fully informed, fully orientated. And even in some cases, we were orientated on how to handle emergency situations. Every citizen has a matter of fact. And as a matter of urgency, should have the emergency toll-free lines stored on their mobile phones. Secondly, emergency response lines should be visibly displayed within a five-mile radius on billboards, on flag poles, on major highways, where there is an efficient and also an effective 24-hour control room ready to seriously take on these calls and immediate take action. Thirdly, we need to ensure that the control room is very quick to take these calls and actually take action. We put an individual plan in place to enhance the efficiency of these control centers. These may sound like obvious suggestions, but it can bear the average legion to be does not have this information readily available to them. I mean, how many legions actually have emergency lines on their phones and to that it's covered on an emergency line that someone posted on the WhatsApp site that didn't exist before now? Now, there's also the additional rendition that needs to be done to the trust quotients that the average citizen has in the agencies that want for their public safety, other from the Nigerian police to the CDC, all the security personnel, security for the agencies that are put in place by the government. If truth is banished, there's no need to use a life for us to get out afterwards. If truth is, I am banished, so are you, because I'm your someone's child, your someone's sister, your someone is loved one. She should have someone's wife, someone's mother. Sometime in the future, someone's aunt, or grandmother. If only we had done better by now. We did not. We almost do better going forward, because no one is safe until we know how safe. The issue of security is of great concern. Let me even use this opportunity to say this. Just before this lady's incident last week, we also had similar, not really similar, but this is a robbery incident in, I think, close to University of Benin, where a student was shot. I don't know whether some of you have heard of it. It's online. Personally, I happen to be a graduate of University of Benin, so I get some people there, so I get updates. Last week, this lady was shot just close to the university. I think last week, Thursday, she was coming back from, whether she was going to her house, the off-campus, and then there was ongoing robbery. The next thing she was shot at, fell on the ground. After some persons took cover, when the ambrobars left, they took her to the University of Benin, which she knows where to. She went to Ankoma. She died on Saturday morning after waking up from Ankoma. So this issue of insecurity is common. You can Google her. She's Susan Obu. That's her name. So imagine the following week, waking up and listening to the issue of another lady, another woman being attacked in the government's own metro line or bus system. I can't even imagine how, how, how come? So in no way, it's actually safe. So I'm just thinking, what can the government do about it? Because insecurity is something serious. We cannot have true economic stability and progress and peace if we are only threatened every day. So it's something I think we have to sit up and look into and the government has to take this in serious. I mean, you're right. The government needs to step up because security starts with them as in not just the police and stuff, as in the people that they employed to provide the service. What kind of background checks do they do to vet their drivers, the ticket officers? So because some of these, some of these employees that they put on these lines or so, are typical area boys on the street. And yes, they're trying to decrease the numbers on the street to put them into employment. But they still have that ways of thinking of that Agbeiru area boys mentality. I'm not saying that the driver is or anybody is, but they need to conduct more checks psychologically, background checks to the people they're driving their buses because they're driving people to work and back home. Why happen if an accident happened? You understand? Look at what happened that the girl was going home from work. How do we know it's just the drivers or so? So Lagos State has a lot to do to counteract this thing, to make it right. Who is driving the bus that we all pay for? We all pay our taxes. Who is that person? Where did it come from? Is it fit to get that salary, to be in that job, to be in that position? So it's not just about the normal security that we think about. It's about security of the employees that basically work for all of us here. We all live in Lagos. We might not use the buses or so, but these people work for us. I mean, that's my thinking. Yeah, I think security should be a greater concern to everyone. Just beyond, government has a lost dough. And I think one of the area where we should start looking into is proper data management system. Just like you rightly said, you can actually not verify who are these drivers, who are these people? You bought bus and then probably, who are the ticketers? How do you have to say, I move from this place to this place? What's my identity? I'm not even safe. We talked about, he was talking about emergency call centers. How responsive are they? There's a lot that we have to look into to ensure that we are secure. Just what are the society itself? What is it presenting to us? We have people who celebrate people because you drive good cars, because you look good, you eat good food, and what have you. But what is the source of your wealth? We don't know. You can see the issue of a little kid of 19 years in Nogun State. Can he get friends? So insecurity is actually everywhere, every sector. So there are a lot of things that constitute it. Beyond the government, we also need to look into parenting. Parenting is very bad these days that parents don't even have time for their children. There is lack of culture, lack of moral. Cultural education. All these things. People think you can just make money anyhow, anyway. And because if you make this money, you just get celebrated. You don't know where you get the money from. So there are a lot of things that actually constitute to the insecurity we see today. We can also see the aspect of education. You see education, you see a first-class student being given an award of $10,000. And we see an entertainer, just like this big brother Nigeria, good at the ultimate. You see, in millions of years. So look at it like, what can I actually do? If I need to commit, do some rituals using human body to ensure that I get the fame and get the money. People are ready to do anything for money. And insecurity will continue increasing if it is not contained. And we don't take responsibility. Individual has to take responsibility. Government has to enforce laws and take responsibility to ensure that we have a conducive environment. Yeah, Mr. Tulu, what do you think about? We have all mentioned the nice points. But mostly, our points are long-term focus. But the short-term focus is addressing this issue. Is there a way where they can do such before you bought this vehicle, this government-owned vehicle? Because according to the interview I watched online, I noticed the driver of the bus was saying, I think he acted under duress or something. Like the lady was the last to call down some guys we are armed in the vehicle or something. And they ordered him to drive to a certain point. And they came down with the lady, he couldn't do anything. So I don't know whether you saw the interview or something of the driver of that particular line. So if there is a way we can do such or something. So what do you think about this short-term effect? I saw the interview of the driver. And to be quite honest, he just emphasizes what I was saying about I'm not sure due diligence was done on this individual, you know, clearly he was way above his head in that situation. Obviously he wasn't trained apart from under the emergency situations, you know, and that person wasn't trained. Probably wasn't even, probably background checks were even done, you know, that's on one hand. On the other hand, short-term fixes, I mean, I already gave three very simple suggestions, you know, everybody should have one, at least one emergency line. This is really the recording on the phone. Imagine if instead of sending that recording to a friend, she actually sent it to a phone number where she knew that someone would take that video and then there'll be an alert that will go to the bus or maybe the next bus stop or the next station. And they know that, oh, there's actually an emergency call from this BRT bus. That's busy technology, it's not rocket science. You know, it's putting trackers on buses, putting CCTV cameras on buses, you know, and making sure that buses are connected to a control room. That's so basic. But I don't think it's rocket science. I guess it's- I guess it's- I'm going to have to use my pop-top thinking. Can I also mention that insecurity can also be related to poor payment. Poor payment. If the person you've engaged to provide a service and if a salary cannot take care of himself or so, he's not going to be thinking of doing his job well. He's going to be thinking of how is he going to eat today or feed his family. That if we don't pay our staff well, if we don't pay our employees well, that too can cause insecurity. You understand? It could lead to an inside man, like let's take the driver for instance to basically collude with them, his boys. Ah, come on to my boss. Let's do operation. Let's rob everybody and the boss because he's not been taken. The salary he's working for is not enough to look after himself. That's insecurity as well. Wait, you have a point, but I still believe that value is more important than money. So, just to add to what he said. He just paid value to a hungry man. Sorry, let's be realistic. Just to add to value. Exactly. Let's not go there. Exactly, just to add to what he has said. When you look at Nigerian work system, you see that people are actually underpaid in reality. And if we have actually adopted a work shift model where you can actually be paid per hour, per stuff like that, and you can actually decide, okay, I'm gonna work for this work three hours, just like we are work shift in our trans-independent nation. So, you can decide to do work shift for three work shifts and you'll be able to at least hand what you feel you deserve, right? You can see in factory workers take, for example, just to digress a little bit, paid 15,000 Naira for factory work for a whole month. You understand? So, we also need to look into work shifts to ensure that these people are paid and they are satisfied. All right, Mr. Tulu, you are... So, we have to make sure our country is secured for a sustainable economic growth. So... Just stay with us. Up next is Alari Wajah.
