 We're back with a breakfast on plus CV Africa time for off the press. GD Johnson joins us this morning via phone. GD, it's good to have you join us. It's a pleasure to be with you. Merci. All right, then. I got it Friday and then good morning and good day to all our viewers all over the world. Yes, please. Well, let's take a quick look at the garden newspaper this morning. It talks about the Senate presidency. Of course, they're still politicking. That's ongoing, despite the fact that we're done with the 2023 general elections. Senate presidency. Calo Acpabio lead assault. Jostle for law and seat. Ahmed law will see Calo Acpabio lead assault. Jostle for law and seat. CBN takes custody of dominant funds from bank. I mean, you have funds that have not been attended to up to 10 years. Then again, accountability concerns, trail. Annual sixty three point four six million barrels all swap deal. Aviation walkers threatened two day warning strike over CEO or COS and welfare. How long will this aviation walkers continue? This one day strike, two day strike and what of you? Then again, you find beaches for the rich from solving chronic erosion to privatizing the beach. It feels like an editorial right there. Drama continues as will be denies British government apology over detention. Whose report, you know, I believe is was there really a detention? That's also another question that's begging for answers. Did the United Kingdom make an effort to apologize? Was there any apology? What exactly is going on? Too many questions begging for answers. But move away from the Guardian newspaper. That's because we have the punch now. The protest CBN for expand. I think that probably that might just be an old one. I would just have to look at what's available for us this morning. Supplementary elections. APC PDP battle for two governor. Ninety four legislative seats. Article mobilizes support for PDP candidates. APC bugs Barney to upstage. Fin theory. And then you have. IG LS fears of voter intimidation and deploys personnel in two thousand six hundred and sixty polling units. It feels like we've had this story before, right? We've had this before like a deja vu going on. CBN to mope up dominant account balance on claim funds. So if you still have cash that you probably have forgotten. It's time if not over fuel subsidy. All thefts go up twenty nine trillion Nair says the federal government. All thefts go up twenty nine trillion Nair. Very interesting. Tunibu. OK, that's in pigeon English, but I just let that pass then. Buhari performs lesser. Haji and Muslim urges or urged to be self-reliant will be Kwankwa so shared articles votes. Tunibu tells tribunal. And then you find building collapse. LASG legal state government stops construction projects on Banana Island and house leadership reps elect form two hundred and eighty three man membership alliance. These are some of the headlines you find on the punch newspaper. We quickly turn our attention to the nature news. Niger Delta Community Sikh F.I.D.A. and C.E.S.O. support to fight pollution. And then you find Osemen. I is African footballer of the year award, Victor Osemen. Again, you find Nigeria. That's the nature newspaper. Nigeria far from achieving 15 percent Abuja declaration on improving health care. That's according to the W.H.O. If it's like that's a big slap on our face. Or I'm sure we can we can actually you just make that right. World Bank U.S. urge for reforms on climate lending. This paper focuses on, you know, the environment and all of its impact on our health and what have you. Adaptation to climate change remains key priority for Africa and negotiators. Well, that's it this morning. We'll just quickly look at the business stay newspaper and then I would have G.D. Johnson share his thoughts on this one. Banks borrowing from CBN triples in four months and banks standing lending facilities in several months. You could see a pictorial representation. You could see this graph or graphics. Whatever it is you call it there. Legal huddle grounds and G.Eagles take off. Then again, Peter or B.I. and X.E.B. and top Google such trend in the first quarter. That's the business news. The business news or business stay paper. Street food sales saws as inflation bites. Banana Island building collapsed shocks developers. And that's it this morning on the business day. We just have G.D. Johnson join us now to share his thoughts. G.D. Johnson, thank you so much for being part of the show this morning. Good morning, good morning, thank you very much. Well, once again. G.D., what are your thoughts? The federal government is saying that fuel subsidy on all tefts has go up twenty nine trillion. Why are they telling us if you arrest those that are culprits. If you are arrested, there are different types of agencies or government to do the need for the DSS, DSCC and all other agencies to do the need for body which to arrest innocent citizens or on the allegation of trying to cause chaos or put the government into his recruit. They are quick to do that. DSS is quick to do that. The ESCC is quick to arrest your boy. They are quick to to to to parry to parry your boys. Yet they they they feel to to to do the first basic job of the assignment where ESC was put in place is economic and financial crime to stop all of that from happening in government because those that are even committing economic economic tracing they are not being arrested. They have been treated with key groups and and we are government will be telling us can you imagine the government telling us that they lost the amount of money due to oil theft. So you discover the it is it is it discover the theft. So it were the theft committed by by by by spirits or they are not reasonable. Give me a break. But but you know you know you don't say that this is entirely not just about oil theft is a combination of oil theft and fuel subsidy, you know, the subsidy removal. That's between 2005 and 2001, which, you know, according to the government, that was for subsidy removal. We had to spend. Let's see. Subsidy for you. You know what this government said when they were in opposition with respect to subsidy. And you know what they said when they came on board in 2015 when the price of petroleum products were high, is there subsidy on diesel? No. Is there subsidy on kerosene, which is meant for the common man? No. Is there subsidy on PMS where we need clarification with with with respect to that? Because this president administration led a protest in 2012. When Jonathan administration tried to remove subsidy and at that time it was 92 Naira. How much do we buy it now? So for me, as as far as I'm concerned, there is a catheter operating that sector. Don't forget that it was in that sector that Othedola accused some House of Rep members of of of of of trying to to to to to play games with him. We didn't we didn't know the end of that. So as far as I'm concerned, with respect to subsidy, only gold can explain that to us, whether we are paying subsidy in Nigeria or we are not paying subsidy in Nigeria. But my take is very simple. If you discover an infraction, if you discover an economic right, go after those people and prosecute them and then block the loopholes. What do you have to see? Not in anybody who have to see. We have agencies and a system of government. Yeah, the two does that, you know, one of the things they told us in 2023, only 2022 is that they privatized they privatized NNPC and then it was done with pump and regulatory. What has that got to do with as a change the functions of Nigeria's when it comes to revenue that comes to Nigerian government from NNPC? We know Alamco, which is the Saudi Arabian outcome. It's it's it's it's it's it's been privatized. We know we know Petronas in Brazil. We know in Venezuela. We know what of this, what these countries have done in order to minimize risk stages and reduce the level of corruption in the oil and gas sector. But what have we done concerning our own? We play politics with it. We play politics with it. You bring somebody that has no experience with oil and gas to come and be. And then it seems as if the people that will be the MD and the director of finance and the rest of it must come from a certain section of this country. You put run pegs in square holes. What do you get? You get this type of you get this type of you get this type of this type of shenanigans that will be seen over over over over over the years. And and then someone will come on the pages of newspaper or a spokesperson of the government or whoever from government will just come. We have lost a so amount of money to this. If you give us a break, they do this guys, they take us for a fool. Okay. Well, let's just leave leave that. So you're saying that subsidy should be removed. That's what you're saying. Because we can't be spending that amount. We can't be subsidy. They shouldn't be playing games with us. They will remove the subsidy. Those that are collecting, those that are paying themselves claiming that they are subsidizing this program. These are the people they should go after. That's what I'm saying. But, but do you also agree that recently the Niger Labor Congress, the NLC has said that they are going to embark on strike. They are resisting it. And they have also made demands saying the refineries have to be functional. I'm asking if it's at this time that we're asking that the refineries must be functional or let's have functional refineries. The refineries are there. We have always chunked out resources for turnaround maintenance. And at the end of the day again, nothing to really write home about. So it's a lot to grapple with at the time. For you have a lot of people who say. I have a question. Go ahead. First off, ED on kerosene. Is it just subsidy on AGU? There are no subsidy. The subsidy on kerosene and diesel has been removed. The only thing they claim to unsubsidize is TMS. And the removal of subsidy, as it falls down the price of AGU and kerosene. All you need to do is because you are not cooking gas with natural gas. Otherwise, all you need to do is to go and buy a five liter of kerosene, which is what the common man used to cook. They should give us a break. And they also tell us that, you know what? We consume 60 million liters of TMS daily. Where? These are the people they should go after. All what they need to do is to do an audit first. What is the amount of fuel we consume daily in Nigeria? Once they do the audit, then the process starts from within, not from without. All right, then. GD Jocely, there's also another great concern is that just barely 60 days to the expiration of the present ninth national assembly, the jostling for who takes over the leadership of the 10th assembly is getting very intense. And we're getting feelers that the likes of all Jews or Kahlu and Aqabiu probably might be taking the lead just as the APC is still planning as to who, you know, planning as to what happens with a location or saying, hey, who takes the turn for them? Well, you know, we said it's done by turn democracy. So when the president alert, boldly declare that it is his turn, and then you recall shortly after the election, Oji Jocely was the first person to throw his hat into the ring and he said, it's the turn of the southeast. It's not even the turn, it is his turn, it's his bad right. Well, if you ask me, I'll tell you that if the Senate presidency is coming to the south, if you go to Aqabiu, Aqabiu asks more what it takes to be the Senate president than Oji Jocely. Oji Jocely is the chief whip. What has he done with the chief whip? Since he has been the chief whip of what benefit and then the Senate presidency has gone to the southeast. It has never gone to the south south. So I think that should be given consideration. And here we are looking for loyalty within the party, within the party hierarchy of APC, somebody that has contributed to their party's fortune. I don't know Aqabiu from anywhere. Aqabiu has done far better, far, far better than Oji Jocely. He has all what it takes to be the Senate president, talking from the candidate that we have put forward from the south. So as far as I'm concerned, Aqabiu is far better. He's demonstrated to be better administrator as a governor and he's been a senator before and then minister of the federal public. So and I think he has a better temperament and better coordination than Oji Jocely. So I'll throw my hat in the ring for Aqabiu. That's if it comes to the south, but you know politics being what it is when before is there's every likely that the Senate presidency might go to the north west. Might go to the north west. If it goes to the north west, I see Senator Barranjubrain, Senator Barranjubrain clenching it. It might go to the north west because I see a politician that goes with the Senate president. Don't forget what happened in the eight assembly with Colas Araki emerging as the Senate president and then Iqirimadu emerging as the deputy Senate president and you know what happened with the speaker sheet. So well, it's for the party to decide. Not that about that, but it's artistic, political, but one of the things you can take out of this is that you can see that we have not finished the night assembly focus on attention is on the 10th assembly, which will even be inaugurated after the inauguration of the president. So it's about the position. When people say it must be zoned, to them it's not about their zone, it's about their personal interests. So people will use all manners of interest and I don't think it should go to the southeast either. They should start planning and building bridges. So usually you should build bridges. You should be established network so that it will be better for you to come to the southeast. So for now, I think if you go to the south side or if you go to the northwest, that's my thing. Either way, but I can tell you for a fact, either way, if Ababi is the Senate president, Ababi will likely can cheat ahead or produce a colleague. If Ababi is the Senate president, Senator Baranjibri will be the deputy Senate president or Senator Baranjibri will be the Senate president and Ababi will be the deputy. That's my projection. I might be wrong. So Baba, do you think that projection will meet the tone? You say it's my tone kind of democracy that has been practiced. So if that becomes the case, looking at your projections, say we go to the northeast or the north central, do you think that it would meet the criteria of its zoning or rotation as it were? There's no zoning, there's no zoning and there was zoning because people do things. So zoning, which zones are produced? President in Nigeria, we have six zones. Only three zones are produced in Presidency. Only three zones is in Northwest and the Southwest and Jonathan South-South by first major. So people look for, when you talk about this, people use this zoning to suit themself. You use it to campaign for, I've asked what has the Senate Presidency done for the Southeast? It has gone to the Southeast. What has the Senate Presidency done for the north central? Bukalasaaki was Senate President, David Mack was Senate President. What has the Presidency done for the northwest? Bandits are killing people in Cardinal. The President cannot travel by road to Daurah. So what has the Presidency done for people in the Southwest? We have had Vice President for both in the office of the Presidency in 16 years and there's a President-Elect. When people use this campaign team, it's just for their selfish interests. They don't care about anybody. They don't care about anybody. So which one should South East be more much more concerned about Senate Presidency or the President of the Federal Republic? Where some of them were advocating that it's time for them to start building big bridge. They should build bridge. What do you say Cali should build bridge? And wait for 2032. Then that's when you should go to the South East. We cost down the conversation or we continue to look at the papers this morning. Let's also share your thoughts on other critical issues and that has to do with the economy of Nigeria. So you have reports saying that the CBN is planning to mop up dominant accounts, balances, unclaimed funds. What exactly do you think that should be the case? I mean, you probably might just have different opinions. The central bank of Nigeria is planning to mop up dominant accounts. I mean, account that has not been active. So you probably might have an account that's not active. It's been there for a period of time. And then you also have funds that have not been cleaned over the period. The central bank of Nigeria is planning to, you know, take up some of this cash and deploy them to all the aspect of the economy. Yeah, the money belong to the government and not to the private commercial bank. You don't even need to waste time. I think that there are internet policies with respect to that when you have an account that is demand for a long period of time. So the money should not go to the commercial enterprise which our business interests. You go back to the state. You should go back, for example, you should go back to the state. So if you die in that state, you don't know who will earn anything. You think you go back to the state. You see your dumb account that more or less like an interstate account. So you should go to the state. So there's not the wrong in it. However, if those monies are more popular, the right thing should be done with you going to private coffers. That's just the challenge because once we always have good policies, there's no doubt if you are looking for laws that regulates every aspect of human life, that will bring about good society, developed economy, developed society. Just come to Nigeria. We are highly intelligent people, cerebral and have all other things to come up with ideas. We are innovative, creative and dynamic. That's why you find Nigerian thriving any part of the world, in any part of the globe, you see Nigerians there. But unfortunately, we are the physician that cannot heal itself. So it's the implementation of this policy. We hope that this money will not go into private coffers just like the subsidy removal. The subsidy story we spoke about earlier, that Nigerian lost also amount of money to oil theft through subsidy and the rest of it. So it's a good policy. It's a policy that I earned with central banks across the globe. But we should do the right thing. That's just my take. There's a story which I want to talk about. Miss earlier you said the elections have been concluded. The elections are not concluded yet. There is going to be supplementary elections in two states for the gubernatorial elections in Kirby state and in Adama state. And then in 94 legislative states, as you read out in your work, you are going through the papers. We hope INEP will be able to at least save some more. We'll be able to save some of your smacked faces with respect to this particular election. We should know by the time we are through it, you see we do elections, the two elections are brought. When they do elections, they give us exit poll. By exit poll, by the time the poll closes, within two, within five, 10 minutes, we know projected winner and in all cases, in most cases, we get the actual winner of the. We want to know the person that wins our election once polling has closed, once you close the polling and then the results are tabulated. The results are tabulated in all of the polling units at the same time. So with technology and the rest of it, you should be able to get the real-time results without any human interface, just within one hour after the poll closes and then the results have been declared at the polling units. We should be able, I hope that will happen with this election because all of the problems, issues we are having post-2023 election, we are taught that we never have such things with the amount of money I make deploy for this election. With the assurances they gave with respect to the planning, logistics and actual execution of this particular election, I think some of them, if you listen to what Professor Mahmood said over time and if you listen to the arrogance that is displayed based on the assurances that are first also called a game with respect to how this election is going to be, in that sense, if people that fail in that circumstance have committed high offence against the state when you are given responsibility to conduct elections, to attend elections and to ensure that the process is free, is fair and it complies with the law of the land, then there won't be too much litigation, there won't be too much drama. You can see how each and our quality is. The quality is up. We can see different types of stories, different types of issues as I have become so divided, there are so many fragmentation, there will be a lot of people, all you need to do is to just visit the alumni who has helped for many schools, or many relationships of 20, 30 years have been severe, all on the basis of elections. For what? For people that don't even really care about you and I. But if the election was done appropriately and the person that wins the election knows that he wins the election legitimately, there won't be need for us to be going to courts. You see how many cases that are in courts? Gideh Jhansi, you know, Gideh Jhansi. You know when I talked about the fact that the elections are over, I mean I'm saying that we're done with the entire shadow or schedule for 2023, however it was, I mean the actual deal, except that we have supplementary election. But Michael, I understand that, but I was also going to ask you about the thoughts of the IGP of please, saying that voter intimidation it's not going to be a thing as the police have actually deployed 2,660 personnel you know to this unit. I mean police officers have been deployed to 2,600 police units. It sounds like, hey, we have been here before, we have had this story, we have had that, nothing will happen. You can go out and cast your vote, there will be no intimidation or what have you. Do you feel the same way? Do you think that anything tangible will happen to this person? I think that it really had that danger of who it is. And we do actually feel the same way. We watch a national screen, how a siege was made at INEC office with the impunity led by the deputy speaker and chairman of local government in river states. We watch, we've seen many videos of voter intimidation and harassment. Have you seen one arrest or one prosecution? Have people been arranged after February 25th election on March 19th governor through election? I was personally intimidated. I said it, I've said it many times, I said it live on here when I appeared during the elections. I was personally intimidated in going about, doing my casting to my vote, just telling people that you know what, you're not going to scatter anything here. Our vote is going to count. If any party that wins, wins. It doesn't matter who party wins. I don't care. Whoever party, the party that wins with the result will be declared. That's where we're going. That's what's going to happen. What was the police doing? As far as deploying police and the rest of them for policies, I think we need a new protocol. A new protocol with respect to that. A new protocol in the sense that if you don't hold the DPU, if you don't hold the area commander in areas where they are, area commanders in areas where they are DPU, where they are powerless, if you don't hold them accountable for powerless happening, if they are not suspended and made to account for why powerless will happen over a territory where you have the area commander, over the area in which you are the district police officer, or over a state where you are the police commissioner, and you are made to answer for why there will be violence when your primary responsibility is to maintain law and order, and in your state where you are the commissioner of police, you couldn't maintain that law and order, and as a result of that, people are not held accountable for their actions, for their actions and their responsibility. We won't go anywhere. All we just receive is what this the ID will just sit in his office. I will say we have deployed a number of police, we are going to use this amount of money, 60,000 of police are going to be provided and the rest of them. And then we need to come and explain to us the amount of money they spend for the elections. Otherwise it just stops for the boys again. And then we should just forget about the election and allow the rule of the jungle to operate because it's the rule of the jungle that operates when you don't maintain law and order. It's the person that has the highest number of brute force the person that has the highest number of dogs that wins the election. But we don't want our election to be that. We want whoever wins the election to come through the ballot to the actual votes of the people, not the manipulated votes. And are we asking too much to people that we have given so much? I'll say that again. Are we asking too much from people that we have given so much? To do. We are not asking too much. Whatever resources they require, we give it to them. And the resources does not come from everyone. It comes from you and I. Is the tax pay after this money they used to fund these agencies or government. I work and from my daily job, monies are deducted by government that they used to protect my lives, my property, and make sure that my society has law and order. So if you take money from me and you can't provide me the services, you're committing the greatest crime, crime against humanity. And it's unfortunate, but nobody is that accountable. We witnessed here in Nigeria where the INEC chairman, the INEC president, the Electoral Commissioner was alleged to set a blaze in Karno, to this family, nothing came out of it. We saw the various forms of voters intimidation and harassment across the length and breadth of Nigeria. To what's in it? The one that I believe will never happen was what happened in River State. In the full gear of camera, full gear of camera like this, we saw people laying siege, stopping others from going about their legitimate constitutional rights, giving to them. And there's somebody who sit in one office and will tell us, you know what, and we'll deploy this, we'll deploy that. God will help Nigeria. It's all right. And the same Manukuda Alec, and not no Rufo. It is easier for you to make vegetable soup with your mouth. Julie Johnson. We'll just probably just look at one again as we'll just call it a wrap at this point in time. The thoughts are quite, you know, interesting. Let's look at the Banana Island building collapse as, you know, developers are shocked. That's on the one hand. I mean, there are a lot of stories as to this. That happened, you know, just some days back. We talked about it yesterday. Again, this is dominating the papers. Really. I know you're you're itching to say something, but I want you to help us understand that, especially for Lagos as a mega city, right? And the fact that, yes, very commendable that you've had some sort of laws from, you know, 2010 where the government has been concerned about the continuous building collapse in Lagos. And then, you know, there was a law that made provision for the creation of, you know, several agencies or bodies just to help corp or check the excesses of the activities that might be going on. And then again, we still have, you know, constant building collapse. So yes, we had the one that happened was the biggest, you know, in 2021. And that went in 2023. And that has happened again in the same location. What exactly are we missing? What exactly is the issue? I saw the amateur footage of the collapse. And I saw the entire environment. But his banana island, the real island for the rich, I see is slow. You could see the way the buildings are closed up from the amateur view. I'm not going there to look at them, to do the assessment. And I'm not an engineer, but my father was. And I tell you this, you see the way the buildings are built close to one another. That's one. Then two, we all grew up knowing that in Niko'i, actually do you see more than two stories built in Niko'i? Why we are growing up? In Niko'i, a lot of houses over there were trees. Niko'i is a green area that you love to go. You can walk through the streets and there will be, you recover with shade. The song will not beat you. In the seventies, in the eighties, and look at the transformation because of economic interest and because of, you see, you have spoken about regulation. What these agencies are much more interested is in collecting the money for approval. Lagos is one of the state that has too many, too many regulations with respect to how to conduct your life, duplication of agencies. I don't know whoever will approve such buildings. You could see that there are two buildings by the side of that building that collapsed. When I asked myself, and the same thing is happening in Jirae. If you know the real Jirae, the real Jirae, you don't have more than once to rebuild in Jirae in the past. All you need to do is to take a trip to Jirae and see what is happening in Jirae in Ikeja. And you begin to wonder what is really happening. Now we have turned exclusive areas to slum because of economic interest, because I look at the structure of all of these buildings. You call it an island you are building seven, eight, nine stories all around those places. When in the past, these places you just have one story building with large espaces of land in front with gardens, with trees and the rest of it. Environmental, and you're not interested in, these people will be deceiving themselves. You say they are the environmental friendly, they will spend money on planting trees and the rest of it. When God created man, when God created man, where did he put man? He put man in the garden. He did not put man in the house. There is a correlation between trees and human survivor. If you look at the way we build houses in the 60s, in the 70s, in the 80s, and that's why the life expectancy in the villages are better, the rural areas are better than people living in the cities. You know, in the cities we live in cages. There are no trees, there are no species. All the setbacks, the rule of setbacks, the one that you need to leave behind your building and the one in front of your building, they're taking away all of that. You don't see that they care. And they said they are enforcing which law. So welcome to the decision of building collapsing. It's just not the end of it because when you don't have respect for modern nature, modern nature has a way of taking back what it has given to you. Because I just, I just look at, is this the much glorified banana I learned to talk about? Because I look at the buildings and I look at the house cut out, the buildings are. And how? And the seven, eight, nine stories. Where would they park their cars? Where are the trees? When God created man, he put man in the garden. He did not put man in the house. But we have graduated from building houses to building prisons. All you need to see is, you see the way journalists were harassed from gaining access into the estate to go about being their normality. Yes. You know, it's all that happened. Very, very sad. That's pathetic. Very, very. It's pathetic. Look at the design, I've said it, I've said it. Look at the estate Jack on Day and Shagali. Particularly, Jack on Day, go and take a visit to Jack on Day's estate and look at the design. Look at the layout of the buildings and look at the trees. And look at how the, just take a trip before this present set of people bastardize it. Take a trip and visit. And look at the one that this was a building. Look at compared legal schools. I'm saying it. Compare legal schools in terms of the space, in terms of the design, in terms of the layout of the environment. Compare legal schools built by the people in power in legal state now compared to Jack on Day's estate. Just build comparison and look at the one which is eco-friendly and look at the one which is human-friendly. All they think about is how to make money and that's the reality, the sad part of it. You know the interesting thing? The people that are building houses here at the Iron Matty, not the single person who could take. And I was listening to one of the state officials. He said, you know what? He, you know one of the excuses he was giving, he said, you know, the person building this house will have lost so much money. I was, I feel like jumping into the screen and giving me dirty slap. That's outright. I was, that's, you know, you have lost a lot of money. No, states are meant to regulate the conduct of everybody to ensure that people comply with rules and regulations. But, you know, we will not get anything out of it. The building that collapsed in Nukui the last time was the engineer prosecuted. People lost their lives in that building but their family compensated. What was the outcome? Did the commissioner, you think that if buildings have collapsed in this Samoan Lou's administration, how many buildings have collapsed under Samoan Lou's administration? As the commissioner for physical environment, as he resigned, as the permanent secretary being held accountable, as any of the supervising engineer in that area, as he lost his license to practice. Did he? If you need to ask this question, you will give us labels. You know, we are in the season of labels. You see, we are working for the opposition. We are in a nation that does not keep to its rules. We are nations that, it's Nigeria, it's like animal farm. You know why? Some animals are equal, more than other animals. All animals are equal because of, nothing will happen. If this, if this building has collapsed in Nukui, if it didn't, let me just close with this. If this building has collapsed in Nukui the last time, you know who will have happened. But it's in VGC. No, it's not in VGC, it's in Banana Island. It's in Banana Island. Thank you very much for correcting me. It's in Banana Island too. Jidej also, I feel very attacked now. We have to go at this point in time. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for being part of the breakfast. This issue is very critical. It is always for me saying that government needs to understand. For everyone that vies, you know, for political office, whatever it is, elective office, whether it's appointive, you want to work with government, you need to understand that the reason government exists is that it would provide the basic things that the security and welfare of the people would be top priority for government. That is me paraphrasing the Constitution. That's why government exists. Then we can't fold our arms and allow, you know, cures and allow lawlessness and all sorts of evil to befall the people. We take a break when we return. We'll be looking at the concerns of the IMF as to asking that, hey, we need to expand the tax bracket amongst other issues. Stay with us.
