 On January 19th, national popcorn day pops on to the screen with a crunch we all love to enjoy The annual celebration recognizes the treat that satisfies a lot of people and also both day and night popcorn evening afternoon midday every day even though somebody just broke my heart she's not a popcorn fan i'm going to expunge her from the show so someone asked me that how do i love my popcorn i actually like popcorn pretty plain all those karame once once it's not for me popcorn is either salted and so i like when i go to the cinema i do salted and sugar then i like this popcorn that these people hook on the street do you want to eat with equa you know the the normal popcorn with ground nuts i used to buy that thing so much like i had to tell myself no respect yourself you are a celebrity but i love popcorn i don't know i can actually just go like some days i would just drive to the cinema buy the popcorn and go to my house so it's not like i was going to watch a movie in the first place yeah i mean okay let me not mention the name of the place but then i'm also like that i like to go there to buy popcorn it's a cinema all right i think popcorn is a very healthy snack which that's why i like it anyway very light you eat you can eat a lot of it and then recently i'm not saying that my it is my tummy hurts i don't know so i get bloated so that's why i have to reduce so i think maybe it's the butter and all those things they put in too much and some people pump milk as well ahead yes lactose intolerance so i think it's also the when they have milk in it but like you said i don't like caramel strawberry chocolate i don't know why i drink that for me it's not for me it's not for me it's not for me and i think if i'm one of my friend actually discovered one lady in itkeja that does so she does have popcorn without oil i think she a fries or something and it's so healthy now i know she just puts very little salt so and it's it and you can snack on that or maybe if we try that we might not get bloated i haven't tried that yet so i think like you know seeing the both of you talking about it i'm sure i'm that one percent of my drunk population that's like what this lady is talking about today so i was before before it came on and i'm like what's your celebrity what's popcorn like how is it important that we have to like but um keep aside a day to celebrate it it's very important anyways well i hope to be like you someday to sit and talk passionately about why are you on this matter are you for us or against us you know i'm a popcorn fan you know every every for me i'm a foodie so i'm a popcorn fan well salt is a bit of a new one for me because i think salt is more of a an american export for us well was always sugary um but i like unlike you me i like popcorn with chocolate with caramel everything i should have just like popcorn no me i can't do other what is it combo let me tell you do you take ice cream okay if you drop your popcorn in the ice cream and ah okay before we keep talking about popcorn so what do you want to do when you want to go and get popcorn this evening all right let me start with you uti what what do you do for us in the news i wish my story was a better story but as we have come into the new year sadly the trend of buildings collapsing continues so this happened um yesterday night wednesday night in the aramira area of ekeja a building that was uh is a commercial building because it was formerly housing a supermarket um and the way the story is placed which is actually why it took the story because sometimes i also want to call out our colleagues in the media about about the quality of the reporting um but this story basically says that there were unskilled workers or unskilled laborers working on the building which resulted in a partial collapse so whether they're blaming the unskilled laborers i'm not sure but it looks like the building was being refitted after the former tenants moved moved or the former supermarket then moved out um and unfortunately it resulted in the life of a man who i believe was a welder and the last summer was on called in and this is where the conflicting information comes in because one person says one report says the building is stable and poses no threat to other buildings another part another part of the report says efforts are ongoing to demolish the building so not really sure which it is but the main thing there is of course that this worrying trend of buildings collapsing in lego still continues and sadly um a life has been lost very very sad honestly imagine starting the year with this kind of news uh let me go to you chinella what what do you find for us in the news okay the same boat loses 12 million dollars to hackers imagine waking up in the morning and then you see now all your life savings gone and now wonder why they only left 12 000 dollars remaining in the account for him okay so according to the report the jamaican olympic sprinting champion in the same boat on thursday lost 12 million dollars in his accounts with an investment company stocks and security limits that's name of the company the tracks as lawyer said they are ready to file a lawsuit that will make you possible to recover the lost money that mysteriously disappeared from boat's accounts it's distressing news for anyone and certainly in the case of mr boat who establishes account as part of his private pension it's a grave disappointment and we're hoping that matter will be resolved in a way that mr boat recover his money and be able to live in peace i really do hope i don't know how they're going to do it but i really do hope that they can get this money back because this would be very very very sad but i keep wondering that with this age of would he help me out here now you are in the finance finance space right with this age of technology shouldn't it be easier for us to be able to trace things like this well um technology swings both ways so whilst the technology is also improving in terms of what it allows us to do what it allows us to track it also allows the hackers to do a lot more so um it's really a race on both sides uh how to track these things and it depends on how the money um itself was taken um whether it was due to uh an lapse or a gap in the system that they've then capitalized on or it is one that they've actually been malicious enough to seek out create and then take advantage of but i would imagine that if it's from a company then um he shouldn't have that liability the company in itself would be um liable but um let's see how it goes but when when chinello was talking about losing money i mean 12 million is chicken change compared to ilo most and is 200 billion so there's always context nmpc cargo policy for straight in line jiren ship owners operators um in line with the so many things going on in the economy right now i think this also is another issue we're also facing in nigeria as a nation it reads stakeholders in the country's maritime sector have stated that nigerian national petroleum corporation limited reliance on foreign ships for lifting of petroleum products having an adverse impact on local ship owners a member of the nigerian indigenous ship owners association mr immanuel ilori argued that many nigerian vessels are littering the country's waterways due to unfavorable cargo policy of nmpcl um i still will ask this question i feel it's high time we as nigerians become very patriotic in terms of our national pride so very recently we always have this issue of the nigerian pol the government policy we not favoring business owners and this still speaks a lot with respect to that why are our policies not favoring favoring business owners most of times you see government implementing policies you know in the with the idea of trying to help business owners but when it comes to implementation it's actually not helping business owners when i was trying to go through this this write-up i had to go as far back as 2015 in 2015 i went i came across an article we stated that nigerian lost about 6.2 billion in terms of paying foreign vessels to lift crude oil let's say this was 2015 and by then we had we did not have a lot of these local ship crude yes shipping companies but now we now have them in place why is the government not still using them if you read further down this article it says that about 98 percent of this crude is still being lifted by foreign companies now if you calculate from 2015 tonight to till date if they are using about they're losing about 6.2 billion that's roughly about 49 billion which would have come into the country increasing our GDP bringing employment so this is still a call for not just setting policies not just saying we are doing things to help business this also extends to the manufacturing industry five people complaining exporters they're having challenges and yet the government keeps saying they are implementing policies to help us but why are these policies not helping us in reality so that's what i have done i can see i think it would be nice to have some of these people come on board to even help us understand again because again so it's not one thing so some of these kinds of shipments i believe that has some level of technicalities again you work in you have a company that you that they do all this offshore thing you know how processes you know when it comes to issues around all this offshore and whatever there are strong processes so these Nigerian companies have they put in the processes in place it's not the one that you are shipping something maybe you forgot to do insurance this this something sinks and everybody loses you know i am just saying that it will take a a thorough kind of company to be able to gain some of these kinds of contracts so let's not just be quick to say we'll use them let's be sure first of all that they have the capacity right and competency for that kind of um what's he called so i don't state um government has confirmed the arrest of seven of two village chiefs in connection with the january seventh train attack which resulted in the kidnap of about twenty passengers in igueben train station right so the commissioner for communication chris had disclosed this that these people have been arrested and some other people are also held they also some other people suspects suspects are also been held by the police that were connected in connection with the incidents um of course that adding that two remaining passengers in captivity have also been rescued from the security agencies so if i when i read further down the story there's a bit of a twist because now the executive director of east and youth for good governance and social justice bent in odia had told some of the correspondents to say that um these two chiefs for instance that were arrested in connection with this kidnapping that is is a political um fight he said because it seems like these two people now are like um i'm supporting a is the governor's opposition so the governor is now using you know kidnapping because it happened around their vicinity to you know pin it down on them so we're going to be seeing a lot of these things however when the spokesperson of the police was actually contacted them i think his name is chidi umabuzo to ask okay what are the identity of these people that have been arrested linked and all of that they said the man's phone was switched off on that note okay no more say no more but you see it is quite interesting because these are the things that we're going to be seeing in 2023 it is political i mean what i mean so we're discussing the youth right do you think our youth do you think we have the power to install the next president that's a conversation stay with us we'll be right back
