All the details this morning. And also much more details on the front pages of newspapers. So back for Off The Press. It's another Monday morning here on Class TV Africa. Thank you for joining us. It's the breakfast here. And I am Osao Ghee. And I am Annette Felix saying good morning and thank you for joining us on the last week's edition of the month of September. It's September the 27th and we're so excited to just get you through the rest of your day with the top trending stories, current affairs all across Nigeria. And good morning to you. Good morning. How was your weekend? Fantastic. How was yours? It was pretty interesting. I think one of the highlights of the weekend for the whole of the nation is the fact that after spending almost three months in captivity, about 10 students of the Betel Baptist High School in Chicken Local Government area of Kaduna State have been released. We heard news of their release. State authorities confirmed that these students have been reunited with their families and that about 11 more are still in captivity. But let's take your minds back to July the 5th, 2021. On that very day, bandits basically stormed that school, that Betel High School. They shot into the air and they whisked away over 100 students, specifically about 121. They took them to an unknown destination and they've been there ever since and that's for like 83 days now. And about 110 students have been released and that's been in batches. They released 10 today, they released one tomorrow. It's just been headache and heartache for parents of the students battling to make sure their kids come back alive. And even though state government and law enforcement keep saying that they stand on this matter is that they would not pay ransom, they would not negotiate with bandits and parents of these victims have a different story to tell. But a good thing is that 10 more students of the Betel Baptist High School in Kaduna State have been freed and that the process of releasing 11 more have basically been kick started. Well, like you said, there's always some confusion whether ransom has been paid or not. But if you look at the way that it has been happened, either the bandits had a change of heart with five today and then two weeks later had another change of heart with 10 or the parents and whoever is able to raise money, they contribute and then they take the ones who have been paid for and they set them free and the rest will wait until they have enough money to pay for them. Nobody knows. The Kaduna State government obviously and the Nigerian government cannot say that for the last 83 days they've not been able to figure out any tactic whatsoever to release Nigerians who are in captivity. It's not possible to put that information out. They can't say that in the last 80 days they've not been able to in any way, either negotiate or find ways to use security and tactics basically from the army, the DSS, the police, everyone to get those people free. So it almost feels, you can almost look at the story and almost interpret it to mean that the government itself has not really been interested in getting those kids free. And another thing is the fact that the story broke over the weekend but I'm sure a lot of Nigerians at this point didn't even bother opening the story or looking at it or caring that much and that's really because of how much kidnapping has become a part of our lives as Nigerians. I'm sure a lot of people have also seen the NYSE booklet that basically was saying that you build a relationship with your kidnappers. Don't resist. They can't be traveling. They exactly don't resist. They tell people where you're traveling to because of all of that. And if people can gather around some for you, all of that. It almost feels like kidnapping is like a regular market day across Nigeria. And that's why not very many people care so much about a story like this anymore, which is shocking. But obviously these are the times that we currently have found ourselves in Nigeria. And so what would make the other 11 be released? That everyone has to fold their arms and wait or hope that the same reason that got this turned out that we'll get the other 11 out. And what has been done? Are there going to be more kidnappings? And the Nigerian government honestly saying that in the last 80 days they've not been able to figure out where these people have been taken to. It's almost impossible. And it would make you continue to question what really this current administration has been able to achieve with regard to security and what their stance is really with the light and the value of the Nigerian life if we have been honest with ourselves. Because I don't say government can continue to make those statements and say, well, no ransom would pay in the state on some of all of that. But it hasn't changed anything. People are still being kidnapped. And if you can sit in your office as governor for 80 days while dozens of kids are in captivity, what exactly are you there for as a governor? Who is the commissioner of police in Cardona State? What are you there for? What really has been your role in protecting the lives and property of people in Cardona State? I can only just celebrate with those parents and hope that the parents of the other 11 eventually find a reason to smile soon and wait for next time it happens or pray that it doesn't happen again. So, some sort of bad news for the Nigerian community is this. Professional British boxer, Anthony Joshua, over the weekend lost his WBA, WBO and IBF World Title belts. He got this bitten by this boxer and that was over in 12 rounds. People really didn't see this coming. Anthony Joshua, the more bulky guy, has all the support of home and abroad. And this just happened on Sunday. And I think one thing sports analysts really have been pointing to is that there was this contract extension with the company. It's called Matchroom Boxing. And this is basically his first match just after that signing. He just potends a very bad omen for the rest of his career. But anyway, every match is likely to be scheduled soon. That's supposed to happen probably in February 2022. Let's just see how that happens. They're talking about either Ukraine or the UK, but he might just have another chance to win those back. You don't think so? I don't know. I don't think so, if I've been honest. The guy who he fought, Yusick, I think that's his name. He's a really, really good fighter. He's a really fast and powerful fighter. Has better moves, leg movement, everything. Anthony Joshua really just went in there like a bouncer and got himself beaten up. This is the first time I've seen Anthony Joshua with swollen eyes after a fight. And it definitely was disappointing for a lot of people because in the build-up to the fight, there was pictures. He was on social media. He was gathering all this emotions towards the fight. He was really just going to walk in there and beat this guy up like a little kid and leave there after three rounds. Well, look at his face after fighting Yusick. I don't know how to explain this to anybody that our own Anthony Joshua, well, British born and Andrea born, nobody will show anymore. Anthony Joshua got beaten so badly in 12 rounds. I watched the fight. I watched it online. I was embarrassed. The final round of this fight was probably the worst, to see him just being slapped left and right and it felt like he didn't even train for the fight at all. I had conversations over the weekend. I was talking to a few people and said, I genuinely have never really seen Anthony Joshua as that fighter. Yes, we support him because he's partly Nigerian and some of all of that, but I've never looked at him fight or looked at his, yes, he's an Olympic champion this and that. He beat the other Ukrainian brother, Klishko, a guy and some of all of that, but I've never watched him fight and looked at him and said, this is a completely dangerous and skillful fighter. I don't know what his tactics are with boxing. I'm not so fast with boxing, but I've never seen it and every time, it's embarrassing really because every time that he, they set up this Tyson Fury fight and then for some reason, the Tyson Fury fight can't happen and then they pair him with some random contender and it makes it even more embarrassing that this random contender that they just put to him, beat him. It happened the last time. Luckily, he was able to win the rematch and now it's happened the second time. How is this same Joshua going to fight Jonte Wilder, all fight Tyson Fury? He may not survive two rounds with any of these people and that's honestly the way that I feel. And it's not because I'm looking down on Anthony Joshua or not being patriotic. I just have never seen him as a very, very prolific fighter. But he's vowing to come back. Let's take a listen. We're going on to the winner and we'll be back again. Get back into training. Great 12 rounds. Great experience as well. And then we progress from this point on once again. So we'll be doing it all again soon. We'll be wrong, just taking a loss. But we'll get it right. Probably the knife. From the knife, I couldn't see in the knife round. I couldn't see anything really. I was shot. But it was a good experience because in adversity, you just got to learn to control yourself, stay on top of things. So I'm not going to see anything. It's the first time it's happened in a fight. It's the first time my eyes close up in a fight. I can't see nothing. I'm looking at a one-eyed kind of thing. You've got to apply pressure behind your jab and your right hand and you've got to keep him off balance and you've got full shots together when you get there. As we've seen tonight, U6 are very good boxers. But look, Anthony's already addressed that he's learning on the job and we showed that in the Roo's rematch. I've got no doubts that if he applies himself, which you will, you'll get a great performance in the rematch. Because U6 box tremendously well tonight and Anthony will learn loads tonight. You've got to apply better pressure with a fighter like that and not give him too much time. And that's really what should happen. Weirdly, it's a lot easier to take because you know how good U6 is and you always know that if you don't get it right, there is a chance you can get beat. The Roo's fight, I guess we were probably a bit naive at the time almost walking on air that Ajay would just steamroll for everyone and that was just one bolt from the blue that you sort of couldn't get over for weeks. Tonight you just say, sport, you got beaten by the better man, we're going to do that. Go away, dust yourself down, improve and try and beat him in the rematch, but that's all you can do. Good luck to Anthony and Joshua. I'm really not even excited. Did he steal? Why was he beating so bad? Let's cut him some slack. If he had won, the conversation would be different and you can't expect to win all the time, so please. No, I mean, I get that. I'm just really saying that I've never, and this is me personally, it's okay that I could be wrong. I've just never seen Anthony Joshua and thought he was a completely dangerous fighter, really, really skilled fighter. People have thought a lot of things about people trying to prove they're wrong. Well, he's failed twice now. Yes, he will always get a rematch or another fight to hopefully claim his title back, but this is the second time. Guess who proved someone else wrong? Arsenal, tell us more about that match. I don't care about Arsenal. It's a combination of things that made my weekend very, very bad. First of all, Manchester United lost. Chelsea lost also, I don't care about Chelsea either, but they lost. And then also Manchester United lost embarrassingly. And then to make matters worse, I thought it was our decision to complete the weekend with everybody losing, including Arsenal, but then Arsenal won Tottenham. And then Anthony Joshua lost. It was just a very, very bad spot in weekend. But congratulations to Arsenal. Finally returning to winning ways. I'm sure by the last game, a lot of people were already tweeting Ateta out, but hopefully this one will keep him there for a little long time, so they eventually will finish that into the season. He wouldn't be sacked. And that's the way it always happens with Arsenal. They win one game, and then everybody relaxes. And so Ateta is a good coach, and then they lose another five, and then they want him out, and then they win one game, and then eventually they finish 11 Tottenham this season. So good luck. Congratulations to them. I didn't get to watch the game, but for Arsenal fans across the world, I'm sure that we're very, very excited. It's a local derby with Tottenham. I think the end of three goes to one, I believe, which is really, really good. To see Arsenal score a modern one goal in a game, or even get to win any game. I'm not happy for them, but congratulations to Arsenal fans. I mean, it's sports. Anything can happen. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, that's it on Top Trending this morning. Let's take a break and see what's trending on the papers. Stay with us.
