 Thank you for staying with us. So what did we find in the news today, ladies? Who did we start with? NJ? Okay, so my news is the defense headquarters says that 36 officers were killed in Niger state in the last few days. So the director of defense, media operations, Major General Edward Buber made this known when he gave a breakdown of the casualties in the ambush of troops in Niger state and evacuation helicopter that and the evacuation helicopter that crashed on the 14th of August. So he said that no fewer than three officers and 22 soldiers were killed during an ambush on the troops last Sunday with seven soldiers severely wounded. He added that they now sent an aircraft on an evacuation mission and this also included, so that aircraft that was supposed to evacuate the people that were injured during that ambush, they now had a crash. So that kind of doubled. So previously there were 14 killed soldiers, seven wounded soldiers and two pilots and two crew members in that crash. So it's like, it's a funny story. So there was an ambush in Niger state and some soldiers were killed, some were injured. In the process of rescue? In the process of rescue. Another crash? Another crash. Now we're not sure of the exact information to know if the crash was caused by the same ambush, if it was an attack on the craft or it was just in the process of maneuvering through the whole attack and the process. But it just brings to light how many people that were killed over the last couple of days. In Lagos we're discussing things that affect us directly and in other states in Nigeria things are really happening and people are dying and soldiers are being put on the frontline and they are dying anyhow. So I don't know, I would love to hear the full story of what even transpired in terms of the ambush and how this helicopter that was sent on an evacuation mission ended up crashing, killing even its occupants including the pilots and everyone. So it's quite a sad story. This happened on the 14th which was about four days ago but until now we haven't gotten any update on that. So it would be nice to get an update on that to know exactly what transpired because this is a lot happening at the same time. And it's human lives and the military lives. I mean every human is important but I think there's a special value also on the military because they are the ones like in charge of protection. When you don't have military as a state or as a country you are literally vulnerable to everything, everything and anything. That's just sad. Yeah, so moving on to my story. So I was listening to this video that Fermi Falano and in the recent interview he had on one of the TV stations in Nigeria and it was a very shocking revelation for me. He made the disclosure that a source told him that about $9 billion worth of gold is illegally shipped from Nigeria every year. Was he every month, right? And also, now here is even more shocking one that according to the old law in Nigeria that for every, so if you have the land and let's say you have minerals in the land and the government chooses to mine it. The government will take it as their own property and so according to the old law that for every property they take that they get to pay a compensation fee of 100 naira per acre. And that's terrible. So this happens to someone that Falano is representing. And so he says no, they come to him with like $150,000 which should be the compensation for a land. Lots of acres that has lots of minerals and so he was like no he's not going to accept this. So they took it to the law and eventually they got to $250,000,000 naira compensation which is way more than the initial $150,000. But then here is the interesting part, that land is worth $500,000,000 to the company that was going to mine it and do whatever they want to do with it. So it just shows me how like in this country there's a lot of things that are, how do I take, how do I put it? That people are oppressed out of their rights because for somebody like me now I may not have the resources to afford a family Falano. So if this had happened to me chances are I would have settled for that for $150,000 because I may not have access to someone who can put up that fight for me. So it's just sad and I think most of these old compensation, most of these old laws that have made these politicians or companies or expatriates or whatever, milk Nigerians. I think it's about time that they change it. $100,000 naira is literally nothing. How do you pay $100,000 per acre? It's cruelty. I don't think it's very fair hearing that the property of that magnitude that has minerals on site is worth about $500 million or $1 billion. And you're trying to give the land owner, the owner of the actual land, $150,000. That is wickedness in the highest level. Even the $250,000,000 is still nothing compared to the $250,000,000 naira. Meanwhile, the game they stand to make is $500,000,000. You know, I went through the comments section of that story and it just goes to show you how the vast majority of Nigerians are feeling how angry and upset. And people are beginning. I mean, people have always known that the government is very greasy and corruption is like the order of the day. But I feel like with what is happening right now in the economy, a lot of people are now beginning to come into that realization. I mean, it is sad that a lot of people are just coming to that realization. But I also like the fact that that is happening because we need to open our eyes and start speaking out. Enough of being docile and just sitting down and not doing anything and just taking it as it is. Dollar is on the increase. Yes. Thank you. I mean, you mentioned that you could even find fraud. Yes. That you had to come all the way to the islands for you to get up. Yes. And that's just annoying. That's just annoying. Well, I mean, it seems that all our news today is just sad because mine is sad as well. Actor Nkemowo aka Osofia reportedly loses his 24-year-old daughter. Now, according to the reports making the rounds, it says that she was battling liver cancer. At 24? Yeah, at 24. Wow. She was back here. So this is really sad. My heart goes out to him and I pray that God is with his family and is able to comfort them in these trying times. So I'm whiskered too. Yeah, yeah. I heard about the whiskered news. His mom. Yeah, he lost his mom. Breaking news. So Rich is really sad. Well anyway, thank you ladies. So we're just going to take a short break and we'll see you after the break.
