That's the new naira note That's on the punch anger spreads of us scarcity reps oppose CBN extension Customer stranded ATMs empty as worshippers dump old notes in churches. I mean, I really want to know how was it? Did you did you walk in there, you know in the church you have different units and those who work with the accounting unit in church That's also this person's you need to Listen to a pastor telling his members yesterday my pastor anyway You know telling telling the members, you know, don't bring old era old narrow to church Don't bring old narrow, you know, which is true and some people think it's strange for a pastor to tell Members not bring the old narrow, but I mean it's just the truth. No, but so my question is as much as that's true Is he okay for us to say we don't want the own we reject the old narrow when the new narrow is not available What exactly is the provision? But I know that's open a voice waiting. Let's just run through this entirely We're so sorry and we'll get your thoughts in no time CBN deploys 30,000 super agents nationwide to boost Catch swap program and that's for you know, those who have been left out almost the unbanned We talked about that, you know last week and MF. He says 1.9 trillion old notes deposited Projected nine hundred billionaire before deadline How can people we keep in all of this? government appoints appointment lopsided lax merits Former president of Lucia Gunobasanjo is quoted to say caught delivers judgment seeking 2023 polls cancellation and A quorum Madhu in court Tuesday after 223 day detention My support was for vice president of Sibajor You know these spokeswoman not tunable. I mean the spokeswoman of the APC who left You know, we'll be talking about that You also have 11 killed in on door crash Legos container crash nine So you also have a picture There's also a reflection of all of that picture to all of the sad incident that happened in on-dose state and in Lagos state yesterday United Nations projects three percent growth for Nigeria and two Nigerians arrested for 500,000 fraud in Canada $500,000 I beg your pardon in Canada 22,000 doctors dump Nigeria 2022 says and ARD That's not quoted to say. Well, that's the much we can take this morning on the punch. All right We'll have to run through them quickly So we can take open up those thoughts and the nation is super this morning big one there narrow swap row deepens narrow swap row deepens Reps reject 10-day deadline extension CBN to mop up 900 billion there are more from circulation Took hits amongst nine kilos container falls on commercial bus in Lagos sad sad sad sad Ageru said to replace a wabba as LLC president Pension funds rise to 15 trillion narrow 11 burnt to death in on-dose road accident That's so many already and three policemen killed at checkpoint Buhari unmoved by PDP's Abuses says tenable petrol now 550 narrow in cities Tin booth still things this is About him. Yeah, but as a good way to put it. Let's move to the next one Well, the daily trust says federal government on the pressure to probe headers killings in Nassarowa And this is very different from you know, all of the headlines I think they decided to do something different makes reaction a CBN extends nyra deadline to February 17 That's what you find 1.1 1.9 trillion narrow mopped up Reps reject extension vow to sigh arrest warrant against a messily and they're hoping that that happens today We just take one and then we'll move on to the next after controversy visit to kind of to commission eight projects That's the president being referred to in that one. We'll just move away. There are several interesting headlines this morning All right, then let's bring in at this point to put a boy in Kota for a month of time Well, let's talk about this what cash swap row, sir I think that's gonna be of interest to you very quickly your thoughts I'm wondering why the reps are rejecting the 10-day deadline extension I mean they wanted an extension and maybe even though they didn't get the June 31. It's a June 31st This is has to have a bread is better than a car. What are your thoughts on this sir? It is quite interesting Interesting because we have on that one in issues such as the killings Violent in the country and so on and I've never seen this kind of the strategy on the side of on the part of the tissues now the top of the night as well because Let me say 90% of them are involved. They'll be affected now the rest or the national assembly is dominated by the 80s and I have a conclusion that a lot of them have taxed cash in their houses and For the purpose of the election before commisioner elections So what they want is to extend it beyond the extended time Maybe July or there about so that they can extend this cash But they've already started their votes in their house for the post of this election now even if you say February 10th or there about that is February 10th to come right If you say February 10th, it is before the elections So it really makes no sense if we're probably would have achieved what they wanted to achieve Because that would be before the election. Otherwise, this shouldn't be a problem although I am of the view that we should have adopted the British system where with the emergence of the new of the new monarch who is King Charles and they've given about a year or two the currency having the head of the this water is still Legally good and can still a little tender gas has to be used in Britain It's over a period because and I believe that is a result of the cost implications They've also considered that not all can really change their pounds As fast as we want the matter to be changed in Nigeria But basically the Nigeria need to have to do with the monies testing their various houses by politicians Of course the representatives are also politicians and don't forget that there is this rumor that The presidential candidate of the eighties Has this pension, he has this map for starting money in his house I say rumor because I know that very few Gofya and Nessie will tell me these are allegations I Guess you're referring to the the the bullion van incident. I think that has been taking care of So in fact when that when we have that People's response was that what is wrong with bullion? Organizing Only for some other reason to say that the bullion van driver missed his route How we take color scandalous Misses route got to Timbou's house drove into the compound. He still missed his route. I mean, it's not possible now Well, we don't have evidence. I'm sure if we had that they were the Secretary here Ask if you saw you've seen any cash of stock any stock of cash or evolved into the bull's house You know, and you may also say that Never explicitly said that they came to convey No, but he never he never said that they came to a backward cash from his house or bring cash to his house So if you bring see the bullion bomb brings his money to his house I stop that work in a good self-sacrifice. All right. All right The organization in 2019 the organizing secretary is now say, you know, the driver miss his food It's not something that happened to that money. I mean, I don't Because you're doing some credence to it. You don't even respond to that the man doesn't make the fool of himself It means that of his intelligence for you. I don't you that just kept quiet. You don't just can't fight Why did the bullion bar miss his route to my house? You know, you know what can tell Just we happen this year, but we have to move on to our next No problem Because now Because a lot of them It will be for them to move their billions to the to the banks right now Sensation is going to create Money in their votes in their houses because in politics there is nothing like transfer You only transfer the legitimate and you know that most of the political funds are such funds There's no question how you got the fund. There's even a law on how much you have to go to spend And the tone on the road doesn't believe in transfer This political talks don't believe in transfer. Give me my cash. It's cash and credit Money for a hand back program That's why the system and that is why they are distraught. That's why they are worried Otherwise you have other burning and best issues like I said such as insecurity Such as the poor scarcity and so on. I have not seen this kind of dexterity I've not been that sort of it's not as entrusted in those issues as it is entrusted in in in this uh Money swap. So that is the whole truth about the issue of the tension and the What I would like to be hype about those things is because they have stacked Money in their polls at home Well, um, I know that this is still in court. I mean there will be a judgment that will be delivered today About the cancellation of the 2023 polls But in your thoughts, let's just speak, you know to the other parts of you know, this kind of thoughts or a law Or suits that's actually seeking this action and also seeking the sack of the president What do you make of it? I mean, is it very natural in a democratic? An election should be cancelled when the snow case Elections in the council Can you hear me? Can you say that again? Elections to the council when you have oh my god, you see what we're talking about You're out of power, but just go ahead. Just go ahead Elections to the council when you have a first major That's the only time you can cancel an election because in that case it is not it is beyond human control And of course, there are also other estimating circumstances like what happened in In uh, 2015 Then the director's error and so on but you don't just get up in the morning to cancel an election or what comes For now, there are no valid reasons Because there's reason for the elections to be cancelled Even in 2015 when we had a security in the north east The elections were postponed by just two weeks After which the credible elections were conducted in those areas So on what premise are you going to now postpone or cancel this election? If this is what I refer to as Contipopia We can hear you Okay, a lot of these politicians that believe That show the elections hold They will not be favorable They might not win those in office that the apc believe that they may be voted out of power And so on and that is why they call for the cancellation of this election Or are you give me one bullet? I mean I question the reasonableness in the call for the cancellation There is no reason What to necessitate Nothing for now nothing Like I said the worst case scenario would have been the security in the company In the notice we had the security under Jonathan. I wanted to understand that by two weeks The apc cried far Saying oh Yes, it was extended because they wanted to read the election That's right. It was extended. They were protecting means of leaving the election So on one grounds I am not going to postpone this election I wonder The I like I said it is ready Prepared for to condemn the election and is also a sign of a few credible and transparent election So what is the reason for canceling the election? Yeah Probably they've done their research and come to realize that certain persons might not win in the forthcoming day election And so the best thing is let us cancel I tell you after now a lot of persons are going to stimulate crisis in a lot of places So that the elections will not win it's already taking place in the east It's already taking place in the east But my call on ironing Is to ensure that it doesn't capitulate And I also pray that the judiciary Will not be a party to the progression of the Democratic system that will be able to sustain all the civilian That will be able to sustain since 1999 it should not be a party to it Let the elections go ahead and let's have a change of government a lot of us are tired of this That should move out in this country I wish To say he has the time Because I have a conviction that the man like the vice president Became now and made it tonight will hear us out of this mountain of despair I'm sorry Happening But it's also it's also his it's also his right to it's his right to say no, you know As much as it's all right Let's move to the next one very quickly I'm telling you it shouldn't be happening anytime soon. I'm just trying to save you the stress Of false hope It will not even happen don't worry Yeah, okay very quickly, please the the the apex This is on the front page of a Leadership and it's also captured in the daily trust since it passed their lead story And but the leadership says the apex northern social Cultural group are a well consultative forum Is calling on the federal government to ask a matter of urgency Conduct an investigation surrounding the murder. That's the word they used murder of over 50 past choralists We call them, you know headsmen here And butchers around doma and nasa rastate by purported drum strikes some reports that said a helicopter strike on the 25th of January 2023 and if you look at the front page of the Daily trust it says fg under pressure to probe headers killings in nasa rua mack band that's Mietela catabritas association of nigeria says it's war crime blimps or tom nba n hrc c compensation for victims families my hands are clean benefit governor and acf nm ncm demand Investigation I think the benefit government or governor has to say that because of his What he's been saying in the past Quite heated rhetoric if you if you ask me your thoughts on this Oh my god, there is no care for them to call but it's a pretty new show and even if The comment investigation Is going to be endless Or at the end of the sweat under the cap That is what will happen the question You'll ask yourself The first question you ask yourself is How come they were able to use that rule Successfully to weak that havoc What was the Airways authorities what what what what are they doing? What was the nigeria air force doing? What There are the questions you ask It's just you find out that as there is some high level of complicity That is what is going on in this country And so many military officers have come up to say yes to agree with the fact that there is some high level of complicity And that is why you find out that even the issue of kidnapping and absorptions and so on and increase Because even the new treatment I'm not happy that this grunt or the General Made this known and was reduced demoted from a beginner general to color and retire So you cannot say how we saw ramson kutya mentioned any money in section Then there was even a situation where a soldier killed the lieutenant Because the lieutenant said you go out and combat it but he said what have people provided it made the news it made headlines There was even a situation where a soldier said you must give us a home before you go through to meet this adopters Because they just sent us here to die one of the people who were the adopters the man who was released made this known on national telly That they just sent us here to die. We've not been properly equipped So give us our own just say no they said 10 million. I said no problem. Give me my 200,000 When you as you cross this time, you see the fact that we give them their own the remaining give to the chief matter. They know That is why there is so many level of completing And the federal company is aware of this because all these persons came on air They did not hide it. All right, open up. Uh, last quickly. I mean take a look at this Now you talk of the drug even if you talk of convulsing. Oh, they don't have what it takes to defend yourself One of the money that located for my service teach The nsc came on air to say That the money that located cannot be accounted for The nsc itself so before most of the team Their successors said the same thing. They were rewarded them back at the rally for So I just say this to stop a defense minister comes on air to say Nigeria should defend themselves. You know what? He's not giving a license to carry a naked 47 Even if you give me a license to carry a naked 47, how am I going to defend myself? Against People who move into schools move away Over 100 persons on motorcycles and nobody stopped with the almost the incident happened just very close to the barracks in kaduna Then All right, uh, all of the prison give a break No gunshot The civil defenseman who tried to be brave was still And that was the end of it. The president came on air to say it was lack of a daily report I like us to take this one as we cost the conversation as we take it down Okunaban Katara, I want us to look at this on the daily trust newspaper Uh, you know the doctors Nigerian association of resident doctors have expressed concern that it's when they probably just wake up to a country You know without doctors because of the, um, constant movement And they have asked the federal ministry of health to expedite action on the one-for-one policy on replacement of exit doctors that have exited And clinical staff just to reduce manpower shortage. They are also making claims to The fact that there's also been poor response from state governors In domesticating the medical residency training act of 2017 Six years after it was signed into law now These are some of the issues at the end of this. We're talking about lack of manpower in the medical sector Well, merci. If you get worse the situation will catch that Why will it catch that because you have an insensitive government You have a minister for people who absolve of the medical problem An old one for that who said That the medical doctors we have in this country are more than enough He said On air he was addressing the press Meanwhile, we have flights of medical doctors on daily dates The question you ask And constant is this doctor that we've always gone on for for better condition of science What is the problem? Why will the federal government not address this change? Why is it that these days in Nigeria since they continue to date? We've always had kind of strikes or strikes or strikes You every day you're out of the country You spend so much on flight tickets and with the people you carry out the enterprise We waste money on privileges Pribolities Yet there are key issues that affect lives and property Key issues that affect the economy Such as workers welfare Including medical doctors And you have look at us. What happened the the set of a parallel What is it called Body Rather address the negative problem Descend to the medical doctor. A medical doctor is not going to be able to do the thing Consent Destructs and this is a genuine At the at the patients the medical doctors are saying listen Some hospitals don't even have generators So once there is power outage Of course the patient is focused on We don't even have the equipment not that we are not qualified We don't even have the equipment the basic elementary equipment to run this hospital That the medical doctor himself needs to feed the other family Why would he leave the country? If you see a medical doctor in Nigeria, you say this man does not have brains But he leaves this country for UK or US He's one of the best medical doctors because he has the facilities to prepare for And he's so frustrated my dear When you know your audience And you have factors ministering against You excel in All right Not because you don't have what you don't have what it takes upstairs to prepare for But because the federal government is prostrating Even I'm prostrating with it Well All right Well, uh, open up on kataria. We have to you know bring it to an end at this point in time We're hoping that we have more time some of the time to talk about this Thank you. Good morning.
