 Welcome back to The Breakfast on PLOS TV Africa. It's time to share with you what happened today many years ago in history. And I'm going back to the year 2014. It was on this day that a particular football coach ended his time in Manchester United. David Moyes was sacked on this day just after 10 months in charge of Manchester United. It was a tough time for Manchester United fans all across the world. Both dead and alive. Even the ones who... It was just a totally stressful time for Manchester United fans. And we had maybe one of the worst runs ever. Right after Sir Alex Ferguson left that position, he had been there for about 27 years. And after winning the league in 2012, I believe, decided that it was time for him to retire. There was many conversations about who will possibly take over from Sir Alex Ferguson. And somehow, some way, miraculously, nobody knows where this decision came from or how this was thought through. But David Moyes was picked to replace Sir Alex Ferguson. I'm not even going to read the script. I'm just going to share with you. We played 51 games and won 27. One drew 9 or rather lost 9 and sorry, won 27 years, lost 15 and drew 9 games. We, at that time, finished 7th in the 2013-2014 season. We're not able to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League. Total mess. That's what Manchester United was at that time. But it was on this day that the board, the Glaser Brothers at that time, decided that it was time that they let David Moyes go. And he was eventually replaced with Luis Van Gaal. If you remember, David Moyes was, you know, before he was appointed Manchester United coach. He was a coach of Everton Football Club. He was awarded £5 million in compensation after he was sacked. And a lot of times, you know, all through this 10-1 period, nobody really believed in his capabilities as a coach of one of the biggest football teams in the world. Yeah, I'm really just sharing the story from my heart. I really don't think you have to go through a writer. I can sense the passion. It's fine. I understand how... Goodbye, sir. I remember also when he was appointed, his daughter changed her Twitter bio to daughter of New Manchester United manager. New Manchester United manager. Man, you know, and we've been through a lot. We've been through a lot as a coach since Alex Ferguson left. We've been through a lot. It's been tough times, you know. So it's been David Moyes to lose Van Gaal to Jose Mourinho. And then, of course, currently, Oligona Socha. You know, in the interim period, Ryan Geeks has also had to step in as an interim coach in the period. But one of the worst times was... Put your hand on your chest and say, we will be fine. We'll be absolutely fine. We're doing pretty well now, though. Pretty well. All right. Let's talk about Earth Day. April 22nd of every year is celebrated as Earth Day. And on this day in history, in 1970, the world celebrated the first ever Earth Day in the United States of America. So Earth Day, in case you're just hearing it for the first time, is an event to increase public awareness of the world's environmental problem. Now, millions of Americans, you know, participated in rallies and educational programs, you know, across the country to create awareness for the state of environmental degradation that we're seeing and calling for people to put hands together to save the Earth, save the planet, and save the environment, you know, basically creating environmental awareness. So I'm going to skip through all the, you know, all the jagged and just give you practical ways that you can help save the environment, practical ways that you can, you know, save the Earth, save the planet and protect the Earth. Number one, you can reuse, you can recycle, you can reduce waste, right? So you can cut down where you can throw away, you know, just like basically three hours to conserve natural resources, reduce, reuse, recycle. You can volunteer for cleanups. I know when we talk about environmental sanitation, lots of people rather just be in their house because of their last night activities as hurricane. So you can actually, you know, volunteer on the weekends. You can come out, you know, clean the, you know, the gutters, the drainage in your environment. When, you know, there are usually lots of, you know, volunteer groups that do these things every now and then they go to the beaches to clean up, you know. So you can volunteer to clean up the environment. You can educate people on the importance of natural resources and the importance of the environment. See, this particular thing I'm about to say, you know, it pisses me off so much. It hurts me so bad when I see people drink, you know, bottled water or whatever it is, and they throw it out from the window of buses from their cars. I just want to ask them, did you put a trash bin there? You're throwing that sachet water from your car. Did you put a trash bin on the road? It pisses me off so bad. I am such an anti-literine advocate. Don't do that. Well, I think there's so much, you know, if we're serious about saving the earth, we've also had to see little signs and we've probably have been seeing these signs for a long time of how Mother Earth can one day just get upset and wipe off, you know, 100,000 people. You know, but we've also, there's a lot that needs to be done, you know, aside from not throwing away plastic on the roadside, aside from not blocking our gutters and all of that with waste, there's so much. You know, go around Lagos, you know, every time that you go and sit by the water side and have a great evening with, you know, that date or that guy who has been asking you out for a long time, just look into the water and see how dirty it is, the waters around Lagos. And we do that, we're responsible. Yeah, and this is so-called Megacity Lagos Island. It's a mess. So quickly, let me wrap up the list, Osara Gay, really, we'll run out of time. Use less water, right? I know we love the shower, we like to just, you know, be under it and pretend we'll all be unseen, you know, sing our heart out. We can use less water, you know, that would really go a long way into preserving wastewater and we can shop wisely, we can buy less plastic. I know lots of Nigerians, we all have that cabinet, we all have that nylon that has so many nylon in the house. I do, trust me, it's a whole bag. So I'm guilty, we're guilty. So we can use less plastic or we can recycle. Plant a tree, you know, plant a tree, if you have, you know, if it's your own house, your own compound, I'm very sure your landlord will be happy about that. Plant a tree, you know, it's great for the environment. Use long-lasting light bulbs, you know, efficient, you know, energy efficient light bulbs. It reduces, you know, greenhouse gas emissions. Also, you can buy secondhand, you can buy secondhand clothes. Those are great for the environment as well because it takes about 700 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to make just one T-shirt. So, you know, recycle. Buy secondhand clothes instead of heading to the mall to buy new clothes, you know, flex on the ground. You can buy secondhand clothes, shopping secondhand clothes, really secondhand games, toys, things like that really helps for the environment. You can buy local, you know, buy things in your local grocery store, you know, the people you see selling frits by the roadside, buy from those people. It's fantastic. There are lots of things you can do, you can use fiat chemicals, you can take a walk, take a bike, instead of driving, you know, there are lots you can do. You can read this up online. It's Earth Day today, April 22nd every year. Do something today to protect the environment. If you're in the habit of throwing things out of the car on the road, you can try to stop that today. Thanks and God bless you. And listen to Michael Jackson's Earth Song today to commemorate it. Anyway, we're going on a short break when we come back. Our first major conversation for today is back to talking security. What happens after Idris... Derby. Derby, I was going to say Elba. Idris Derby's death, you know, and of course what must be done to save, you know, the West African Surveyor and Nigeria also from an overflow of these Malaysia groups. Stay with us.
