 Alright, thanks for staying with us now. If you just tuned in, today's an international day. Let's find out. Read an e-book day. Yeah, remember saying that. Read an e-book day is celebrated annually on September 18th. It is a day to celebrate the convenience and accessibility of e-books and to encourage people to read more e-books. E-books offer a number of advantages over traditional print books. They are portable so you can easily take them with you wherever you go and they are also environmentally friendly as they do not require any paper or ink to produce. Additionally, e-books are often less expensive than print books. So, happy e-book day. I remember the time that Kindle was draining. Like, you don't get Kindle, you know, if not arrived. It keeps doing. The sad thing is that, somebody was telling me today when I was just complaining about traffic and I said, the person said, get a driver. I said, it's not the issue of getting a driver, that's my problem. I actually have very bad nausea. When I'm being driven, I literally cannot do anything. I have to close my eyes, take a mint in my mouth and just like, shut my eyes. That's the only way I can survive a journey that I am not the one driving. That's how bad my own nausea is. So, if I stay on my phone for too long, staying on up to like two, three minutes, my eyes begin to spin a lot. I have very bad nausea. So, it's difficult for me to read e-books. That's my thing. I remember, I think I was listening to Jennifer and Uti. Uti said she liked the smell of the book. I mean, it's something about holding the book. And the fact that, you know, I can just flip it. Yeah, exactly. I love them coming. And then just get back to it and then I can use it. The musical library out of it. I love my covers. I've tried e-books too and it's just, I read a page and I get tired. But hard covers, I can read as much as 10 pages in 20 minutes. And I'm still flipping. But you know what I've started learning though? Because I used to be like a physical learner. I must learn inside classroom and everything. But because I don't have a choice. I'm paying money. All these online courses I'm doing. I must finish that. I must get my certificate. I noticed something. If I'm listening to the video, just listening. I don't get it. But if I'm listening and I'm reading it myself. So there's the transcript. So as she's talking and following it with my eyes on the words, it's gotten better for me, my e-learning. Because e-learning was really, really a no-no for me. I struggled. That's why two courses that I started, I dumped them. Which I'm resuming next quarter in December. But I had dumped it because I just couldn't cope with e-learning. It was a struggle for me. But I think I'm beginning to cope. So I think maybe I should just find a way. Because the truth is, you really cannot. Like me now, I've not been able to read books in a while. What I've done over the years is I've tried to use audio books. So when I'm driving. Because sometimes you spend hours in traffic. And because you don't want to drive. So I listen to those e-books and I think it's helping. Because really you must find a way. Because if not, you can just go by a year without reading. There's no time. It's really where you live in Lagos. For me, it's e-learning. I think, because I like to read for pleasure. It's how I decompress. Music and movies and then reading. I actually collect books. So of course, when I know that it's not for pleasure. I'm taking a program or I'm doing a training. I can absolutely read. It just flows. If I had a choice. If I'm reading for pleasure, it has to be a hardcover book. Absolutely. Here with my own dilemma. If I'm reading for pleasure, I enjoy it. But the moment I'm reading for a schoolwork or an assignment or anything. It becomes the most difficult task. I hate reading for academic purposes. But then I enjoy reading for pleasure. So what I do is anything that I feel I'm a little interested in. And I need to research on it. Maybe for academic purposes. I go to maybe Google WikiHow. Yeah, the same. True. What did you find for us? Are you speaking? I was going through ABC Africa. And they had this short documentary on Operation Dujula. I don't think they can play the video right now. Just talk us through it while the video is coming up. We know about xenophobia that has been a thing for a couple of years now. So in Operation Dujula, it's like the updated version of xenophobia. So in the video, you would see some South Africans. It's an official group. They're crying out that they hate foreigners. The foreigners are the reason why they're having increased poverty, drugs, morality. And so they just want to kick people out. And what they said is they're focused on illegal immigrants. But then there was someone that was interviewed. And he's obviously a Nigerian. And he was crying out that he is a citizen. But he's been experiencing, like he's now a South African citizen. But he's experiencing the same thing. Like they throw him out through his clothes in the gutter. He's insecure and whatnot. I wish they would play that. Yeah, that's it. This is my country, South Africa. I hate foreigners. And the government is doing nothing. And this is our leading anti-migrant group, Operation Dujula. We cannot be undertaken by foreign nationals and do nothing about it. Something needs to happen. We are coming for you. Yeah, their focus is to kick all the foreigners away. And they're even taking it a step further to turn Operation Dujula into a political party such that they can contest for South African elections next year. And here is the balance. I do not support what they are doing. I think it is wrong and very myopic. But here is just supposing it. We are facing a similar issue in Nigeria, although not as violent as the one in South Africa. I was reading a report recently on how there is an increase in influx of Chinese and Lebanese people into Nigeria. And I was reading comments on InstaBlock. And I was seeing something that looked a bit like xenophobia, but verbal version of it. People were writing and saying, what are they coming to look for here? They should go back to their country. We don't need them and stop. No, I will add. No, but I'm just... You know I say go ahead. I will help you. Go and name all the top restaurants. Especially the hospitality industry. One name all the top ones that you know. Filipinos, Lebanese, Chinese people. Even real estate, prime choice properties. They are all Lebanese people. So the only way, maybe, if the government begins to give Nigerians equal opportunities that they give these foreigners and back it up, you understand? Because these foreigners are coming with the backing, sometimes the backing of their own government, their own money, you know, and all of that. If Nigerians start to give Nigerians opportunities, because the problem with foreigners taking over in Nigeria is not the foreigner that is the problem. It's your government that has not given you as a Nigerian better opportunities. You go now and apply for a farmland. A Chinese person will apply for a farmland. Is every likelihood that the Chinese person will get it quicker and faster? Why also the same thing in South Africa? You know, because just like we already quoted by Nelson Mandela that poverty has been so weaponized. Right now these people are blinded to the fact that it is your government's responsibility to better the economy. It is not the migrants that are stopping your country from expiring. You know, people have the right to migrate anywhere they want to because there are some South Africans that are also illegal immigrants in the US. But you don't see Americans throwing them out or setting them up. Because it's not here. It's because they are busy. If the government is seen to be taking care of Americans, they don't have a problem. If you let me call your numbers, it doesn't count. Do you understand what I'm saying? It is when the government is not doing what they're supposed to do for their citizens that it now becomes a problem. So it now looks like this foreigner is coming to take away. No, if the government does what it is supposed to do, it's not supposed to be a problem. We can actually coexist. Let me quickly take my story. First, I just wanted to quickly point out, and I think we should have this conversation tomorrow. It says the police force, the police force public relations officer, almost every young person in Shagam is a cultist. I'll just leave it there because there was a clash today. It was a gory site. Then the investigations for Mobad is ongoing. They've opened, I think, a 13-man panel that would investigate the, what is it called, that this was done today. And I said to, you know, I listened to Yabba Oju's video and she had talked about how they were going to write officially. So it's not just living it on social media, taking it to authorities. And I'm happy that the police has, that's the father of the young man there. The police have actually also set up a 13-man panel to unravel. So they also, a lawyer, I saw a letter from a lawyer that's written to them. They need a corona inquest, you know, and all of that. So I think if there was every time our security personnel really showed that they care about every Nigerian citizen. I'm not in these guys, what's it called? I'm not in this reader. I don't listen to his music. I don't listen to anything. What's far as a human being is my concern. Do you understand? I have sons too. Do you understand? They will grow up to be 27 one day and even older. Do you hear what I'm saying? Like I'm just looking at it. I'm trying to picture in my head what would, what would this boy have done? Like literally what would he have done to have warranted his life in snuffed out. Do you understand? Do you remember, you said something about an issue in the entertainment and I'm looking back and I'm realizing that part of the problem is because you don't have entertainment or like the corporate world where there's a structure, there's HR, we do something weird, there's someone to report to and what not. Entertainment doesn't really have that proper structure set up. That's what they claim to have all those bodies for, but do they really work? We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll talk about that, especially the cultism thing because I saw the videos. We'll really call you guys. Dead bodies everywhere in Instagram because there was a clash this afternoon. Because it has gone beyond uni now. It's no more schools. When I used to hear about cultism because university, so I don't believe that when I finish university I'll be out of. It's in primary schools now. Now it's even on the streets. So you're home, you're not even safe anymore. Stay with us, we'll be right back.
