 Alright, you are still watching Waze. Now to raise awareness about the significance of sign language. The International Day of Sign Languages is marked every year on the 23rd of September. This day provides us with the opportunity to support the linguistics and cultural identity of deaf people and other individuals who use sign languages. Now, this is interesting, 2020. Did you ever practice sign languages? No, but I've had to learn about it, but I wasn't very successful. I'm not very good at languages, unfortunately, whether it's the spoken or the unspoken kind. But I think I remember, so it's funny how we've come around, right? I remember us talking about this day last year. One year is over. One year is gone. I thought he has changed that direction. I'm going to say exactly what I said back then. The one thing I know is that there is a different sign language. There is American sign language and there is British sign language. I know that much. There is that sign language. Did you watch that funny video where she was trying to interpret something? That video went viral. I can't even remember. But it was just so funny. The way she was trying to interpret what the person was saying. But hey, I learned it because we had a lot of deaf guys, deaf and dumb guys actually, that lived in a neighbor's house. They used to groom them. They used to train them, take them to farm different things and all of that. Vocational skills and all of that. So because of that process, we had to communicate with them. You know, you do all of the major... I didn't even forget anything, but I used to do that. Sign language is like any other language. If you don't practice it as often as possible, you lose the language. I didn't have that opportunity to learn sign language, but whenever I see them, I'm interested. Especially if they say, I love you, part or something. There's a way there. No recollection. I forgot it. But I know I used to do it. I used to. It's time to get back. One year on. Exactly. Let me go with you first. What did you find interesting in this? Hong Kong removes international travel quarantine after more than two years. The story has it that the Hong Kong government has announced the ending of formal quarantine for international travelers after more than two and a half years of very stringent pandemic controls. Under new rules, it will take effect from the 26th and incoming travelers will be required to undergo just three days of self-monitoring on arrival. So Hong Kong is one of the hubs when it comes to travel and experience. And because of the COVID crisis, they had to lock down and put in very strict measures because of the COVID. And two years or two and a half years on, they found that I'm sure they are realizing that the world is moving on. Some of these other countries who had also placed their bands have fast opened up their borders and people have started moving currency and all. Everything is moving on. So if they continued in that light, they were probably going to lose their place as one of the hotspots when it comes to travel, when it comes to business and all. And then they have started looking into it and this is one of the major recent breakthroughs. So people don't have to go through. I think before it used to be up to 21 days or so. And then if for any reason you test positive, you're going to go through their camp and army quarters. It was really tough for people who were traveling at the time. So I think this would probably be good news for people whose direction, destination is towards Asia. At least they don't have to go through the rigorous, stringent protocols and all. So it's a good one. Amazing how COVID has fast become a memory. So I mean, driving around on Tuesday, I had to go to a couple of medical facilities and I kept seeing the COVID sign, like the collection centers outside. And there's one lone guy sat there just like, had a sleep, nothing to do. So it's amazing how, yeah, two years on. A few months ago, there was long queues of people trying to get tests done, especially if you were traveling out of the country. But yes, that's how quickly we can forget. We thank God that it's behind us. That's all we can say. All right, so what's your story? Ladies, I wish I had a better story, but this is fast becoming the norm in Lagos State. Sadly, my headline reads, another building collapses in Lagos, rescue operation ongoing. So this occurred sometime around noon today. A three-story building on Sonoga Street, on Avenue in Mushi. Area of Lagos State collapsed. I just had a follow-up to the story, saying that two people had been rescued, an adult and a child. And they're still trying to, of course, sort through the rubble to see if they'll find any more survivors. And indeed, you know, anybody's as the case may be. I haven't seen anything to confirm if they know sort of how many people were in the building at the time of the collapse. But this is just sad. This is coming on just a few weeks after the seven-story building collapsed in Oniru, where we then had the commissioner of, was it physical planning? Idrisalako who resigned. So, I mean, we keep seeing these things. We're seeing new buildings collapsing, old buildings collapsing. I keep asking myself what's going on, I mean, this is the whole rainy season. I mean, we don't get earthquakes or things like that in Idrisalako. I just wonder what could be triggering so many of these building collapses, because this is not a new building. This is an old building. Why now? But we thank God there's these lights. The challenge with this kind of building, if they can put up that video again, so you'd see it, right? Because I know that some of those structures have been built to be probably a one-floor, two-floor max structure. Over the years, you didn't see landlords adding on extra floors on those properties. So, you see, again, this is the, when we talk about lawlessness and we talk about, you know, the consequences that, because there are no consequences, people just do everything as they like, and eventually these are the outcomes that you get. Because if you look at that structure, you would realize that I can bet you for free because it was not the initial plan, right? Somebody looked away and allowed certain people to add on some structures to that property. Or even if it's the initial plan, we don't even have maintenance culture in Nigeria. So, if the building was made to be inhabited by, say, five to ten people, and then over time, population increases, you now have 50 people putting pressure on that building. It's only a matter of time and the inevitable will happen. So, we don't, like you rightly said, we don't have, you know, people that are given the responsibility to ensure that these things are implemented. Where they go around abroad, you see that they will make sure that the number of people that are supposed to be in a particular apartment or building are the number of people. So, if people find out things, they're going to report and people are going to come to check, just be sure. So, they're very strict with these policies and they implement them. But here, it's somebody looking the other way. And of course, look at the likes that have been lost in the process of neglect. Okay, quickly, YouTube says, I have changed career. Content creators are teased earned over 50 billion dollars in three years. Why are you surprised? Help my sister. See, you just, you're living money on the table because you like to create content. I create content but I'm not making money for me too. So, I mean, people are, I think I saw an article a few weeks ago. So, Kaby, is his name Kaby? Yes, Kaby. So, Kaby is making $750,000 a post, people. Yes. Just for doing like this. Chimo. So, interestingly, Kaby started giving contractions during the pandemic. Yes, he started during COVID. The guy was a, what's the company, four-cliff truck driver before that. So, boy, yeah. So, at the inaugural made on YouTube event, YouTube shared that it's expanding the platform's monetization system. That the YouTube partner program, that's YPP, to allow more creators to join that program, introducing new ways for content creators to earn revenues through shots and reimagining the music, music industry and creator dynamics by opening up ads, monetization for those who feature music in their videos. Longer shots. Go on narrow metrics because a lot of young people are creating content. Longer shots, go on narrow metrics and see what this entails. It means that anybody can earn money. And you don't have to do crazy things if you are educational. If your content is to teach people, you know, you can still go ahead. Teach people. Yes. So, I'm just saying that everything you do now, look at Kiki, for instance. We took a story yesterday. Yes. On the daily of her, what's it called? Her baby. Her baby bump, right? She understands content so well. Even the baby shower was content. You will watch the small clip. They tell you to go to YouTube to watch the full clip. Do you understand? So, now everybody's understanding that she's already opened a page for the child. But the child is of age. So, everything for content creators like us is content. So, you cannot... And you can't say because I'm not a... I'm not Gregor like who I don't like to know how to dance and all of that. I'm saying that there is content for everyone. There's a place for everyone. So, we need to start looking. Because we're thinking alternative sources of income. We're thinking multiple streams of income. We're thinking revenue generation. Yeah. Yeah, we're thinking earning in Forex. These are the ways. So, don't say I'm not telling you something. I'm telling you now. Meet Uwa. I'll tell you what to do. I'll look at your personality and create content for you. Don't worry. We make this money together. It's really important that people... So, sometimes I don't live in a place of regret. But I remember when YouTube first started. Sometime in... When it started to gain popularity. Sometime in 2011. Surround the time when... It wasn't even 2011. Yeah, about 2010, 2011. I remember watching... Starting to get into YouTube then and watching YouTube videos. And, you know, I'm naturally curious. So, I kind of Google this YPP thing. And I thought... Like, I tried to record my first video back then and I was just like, this is a lot of work. And I was like, please, I have a day job. I have enough to do. And I just moved on. I just thought to myself... Imagine. You know, there's a... What's that lady now? Jackie Aina. When I first started working with Jackie on YouTube. Jackie was still a soldier. She was living in Iraq. Yeah, she was living in Baghdad, I think it was. And she started shooting her videos. So, she used to do her videos in her army uniform and all of that. Today, Jackie has brands. Jackie started doing brands. Yeah, she has brands. So, it's interesting why I took this trip because we're talking career transition. Your career might just be content creation. You just don't know it yet because they say career for the future. So, we go on a break. When we come back from the break, we'll have our guests with us. Stay with us, we'll be right back.
