Let's head straight to the crux of the Marta All right, let's set up with the leadership newspaper this morning the issue of direct Primaries and the debate surrounding it the caption says we must avoid repeat of third-term situation That's what Rex is saying and you know, I neck is worried about other key areas in the bill That's overshadowed by direct primaries. Let's share your thoughts on this Of love Why is it that you are not ready? What's that when people get there never wanted to leave again Then I wish I go back to go That's it. Oh But not to learn the go My friend of Africa It's a sample of the key They would be a revelation That it is true Then I wish I go back to go wanted the social me also the father also so general Abdu Salam I go back That it was the two of them who came down with the National Assembly to process a girl come back to go from So you begin to ask, would it be there is some blue that they put in the President's seat? Because when they get there, they never want to leave the place again. There is no blue there. What is there is not a decent measure. And the lack of accountability. When you get to office in Nigeria. Furthermore, the next step, with what has happened in the city space, the local government has a measure that conducts the election, one more in the city. And here in the city, we have some senators on the platform of the DPP and the National Assembly. They have people in the state out of a family. How is it not possible for a PC to win all the local government seats in the city space? It's also because of that the National Assembly has proposed a direct primary for the different political parties in selecting whatever candidates to fly their flag. Because the leadership of the party generally the governor always and pitch whoever they want to give any of these political processes to. Unfortunately, if we were to take out my mediation, we shouldn't be addicted to political parties. The processes and procedures by which they will, the next whatever candidates to fly their flag. Or here is Nigeria. If a PC came to power, I have no apology about this. The fidelity of our electoral process, the sanctity of electoral process, free and fair election has been in a bayon when the APC came to power. There has not been any election that has been conducted under the APC, that has been free and fair. So it's a good lot to listen and Professor Jega, this is better than the APC has been doing, is getting to power. And here is a party again that says it wants to continue in power for the next three years. So the direct primary thing, if it is going to be a military measure to ensure that we get the electoral process right and the elections are free and fair, that is the welcome. But ultimately, we should have left all these things for the internal and internal affairs of the respective political parties. We don't start calling the shots for them. We don't start calling them shots for them, for not to ever go straight, to ever go somewhere, without somebody somewhere, put his hands up in the way. When you remember too, when Legals said that Dr. Izundo, the chairman, the APC also cleared all the seats. And incidentally the chairman of the Legals high net, he said, he said he legacy and under how to monument our front for community. And we begin to ask of them what these women have been doing, when she was the CGM of the Chief Judge of Legacy. All right, Barista Kolauli, let's slide on to the punch newspaper this morning. All right, Omicron virus is what's on the punch's mind and the leader caption here. Federal government folds British travel ban, alleges most infected travelers from UK and there are several writers. So what's your opinion really concerning all of that? The federal government seems to be reactionary instead of being proactive. What do you think? When you also look at some of the papers that we are reading, you would have seen in there, at the House of Rights, the square in NCBC, at ODIF account of about nine billion Naira, I'll give it to them to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. So, if such a amount of money has been given to an agency of government, either to develop for free or to manage the COVID pandemic in Nigeria, and now money ended up in the account of nothing for free, you now be surprised that COVID is beginning to ravage the country again. And that some countries of the world are beginning to ban our people from coming over there. And when you come over there to the current time for about 14 days, and pay as much as 2,290 something pounds, you'll say that you might be cut. All this is well done to lack of transitionary relaxation, corruption, and lack of accountability. You are now reminded that the last time we spoke on this issue, I said if a tiny country like Cuba and produce a vaccine for COVID-19, there's no reason why a nation of 200 million people with all the reputable biologies that we have, both inside the country outside the country, do not have been able to come over with the dose. But this is the kind of money the night billion that has ended up in somebody's account that would have been given to researchers to come over with a dose of vaccine. And say somebody and some other people have problems in telling me to share how they're putting some accounts to generate interest for them, not knowing whether COVID wiles out the old and the rest of Nigeria. I'm not surprised at the new way as some other countries of the world are restricting the movement of Nigerian people. In fact, the more they restrict the better it is for all of us. Because who are those who travel? It is the people, the rich people, their children, and then the rest of us, the ordinary poor people, who begin to wrestle with poverty, who begin to wrestle with fossil cars, wrestle with COVID, wrestle with a bandit, wrestle with kidnappers, wrestle with the old boys who go into a bank account and clean it out, all the kinds of things. Just look at all the fetish of all the newspaper. Is there any charity news that you can find on the fetish of those newspapers today? There is none. That is the source which the Nigerian political allies have rendered a left in the nation. Okay, but let's also stay with the variant and some of the actions that we're getting from the international community. Now, some experts are saying that Nigerian or the African country should reciprocate the same gesture of ban travel. Because it feels like these measures restricting Nigerians and other African countries to getting into their country is such a stringent action. What are your thoughts on that? The kind of actions that are done for the world is able to impose on their people. Why do I say this? Very negligible percentage of our people are into the employment. The bulk of the people are in the informal sector of the economy. If they don't go out on a particular day, they will not be able to end the living. They will not be able to put food on their table. Think about the forcanizer. Think about the example bus driver. Think about the woman who says pure water in the motor park. So we have a kind of palliative or a kind of money that we can be given to these people on a daily basis to make ends meet. If they don't go out, the answer is there, no. But if they don't have that kind of a measure on hand, how will you be able to restrict people to a movement? How do you deny them the amnesia of livelihoods? So as much as the British people would love also to do some of these things, the reality of grande in Nigeria would make it almost impossible. More importantly too, do the people in the aim of leadership today command respect to more people. Up to now, many of our people are skeptical. They don't even believe that the COVID-19 exists and the few that believe, they think it is an analyzed disease. It is a disease for the rich people that she knows they bother them. And you won't be surprised why they take this attitude. There has been a first deficit between the Nigerian people and the political leadership because the leaders, 99 percent of time, they lie and negate the propaganda for the Nigerian people. And so even when the leaders arrive, leaders speak true and the leaders should come out to say that the Nigerian doesn't believe them. They think that's part of the lives of all the schools. So Tunde Kala Wale, do you think that Nigeria should reciprocate the same gesture with other African countries? Because I mean you see Western countries that have cases, even more cases of the variant and COVID-19, they're not subjected to the same restriction. I would like to share your thoughts on that quickly. Some of these Nigerians are calling to be powerful. They are both British and Nigerian citizens. Furthermore, Nigeria is next in debt to the British government. Furthermore, most of them, when they spend money in Nigeria, they take it to places like Britain to go and buy houses. Their children are over there and they save money. They have more stake in the British economy, in the British society than they even have in Nigeria. Nigeria is all their business center. It's their company where they come to make their money and then they take it to Britain to enjoy it. So when they have that kind of and a legend, they won't have the morale and then the political will to reciprocate the kind of stuff that is written as a modern European country, which is the Nigerian people. All right, I'm Baistar Kala Wale. Let's stay with the paunchers. You know, another story there above the masthead. Fuel subsidy heats 1.03 trillion Naira, NNPC to deduct 1.199 billion Naira from the federation account. What are your thoughts exactly? Well, I will, first and foremost, repeat what I said the last time we spoke, that the political party, when it was a company of the NNPC in 2013, said that subsidy is a scam, that there is no subsidy. Why is that political party now that it is in power, even though it's subsidy than the previous government? Something is wrong in there. You see that? There is lack of accountability, or the money that has been diverted, or we are tied to what is in those days. When people bring in vessels, about two to three vessels to Nigeria with power, they will go and file an application to prepare for about 10 to 15 vessels. Furthermore, some of these specialists, some of these people in the country who are not consumed by Nigeria, why is even the statistic that we have asked for evidence to show this is the quantum of petroleum products that the Nigerian people consume on a daily basis, on a weekly basis, on a monthly basis. The statistic as well. So what is the parameter of paying the subsidy? I want to believe that we are back to the regime of camps in the area of supply and supply savings. And for the Nigerians in their lives, and the politicians in particular, who now impose this voting on the Nigerian people, so start using this subsidy to punish the Nigerians who pull the game. My least so, very serious, people on red. Because people are already pushed to the wall already in terms of their ability to get their means of livelihood. And when you now remove the source costs of cities, and where prices goes up, prices are caused by the range, are caused by some of the economy. With skyrockets. And when the skyrockets, the Nigerian people will not be able to make ends meet, poverty will increase. People will not be able to pay their outrage. Never believe also that transportation will go up. I would advise this government to put on a thinking cap and find a solution to this problem. They have a concrete audience. And let us all know the quantum of petroleum products that the Nigerian people consume of the delivery before the game to stop the payment or non-payment or withdrawal or non withdrawal of petroleum subsidy. All right, let's move away from that and check out the Guardian newspaper where saddened Kaduna youths have vowed to defend their communities against bandits, saying that we're going to take arms. That's what it means. We're going to defend ourselves. What are your thoughts on that? What is the saddened Kaduna youths finding out to the realities of their life now that they need to defend themselves? I think the law will find for them. I think the law would offer whatever action that they take in that direction. Too many people have been killed in saddened Kaduna without people being adequately punished for it, without protections provided for the people of that region. If I'm not on board with you now, it is even less on the need of saddened Kaduna to now begin to take this. This is a nation that should have taken long time ago. Keep the government in power and the local government level in Kaduna and the state level in Kaduna and at the federal level, it is unable to provide security for the people of saddened Kaduna. I will continue to see this genocide and massacre of people on the daily basis. Then what are the youth waiting for? The youth by now from the landale to the landale and begin to defend their communities. This is what the former deputy governor of CBN, who was very prosperous on this issue, laid down his life for. If you think of the good memory of that man, keep the youth of Saddened Kaduna, stand up to them so you could responsibility of defending their communities. The governor of Kaduna says he's all mouth, he says he has bought drones, he has paid the companions to leave the community alone. Yes, we don't see any results in that direction. The youths should do whatever it necessary to ensure that their people can speak to both eyes closed on the daily basis, that women are never raised again, that children are never killed, that fathers are never abducted, taken to the busiest and ensemble taken from them. That's my view on that. All right, Barista Kuala Walea, still on the Guardian newspaper, the Kama 2020 is still in the news. A Khan fouls fresh suit against CAC minister on controversial Kama 2020 Your reactions, please. Well, I have been surprised about the activities of the Christian community. So the laws that have been put in the Kama to make sure that the churches, the religious centers, the civil society organizations account for whatever money assets should be at hand. The church, the mosque, and the traditional religious worship places are not supposed to be this next and that. Whatever money is going into those places in terms of site offering and donations are public funds which the church must account for. Why the churches, for example, now take this money as their personal money, as their private money, as money that they do not account for, please say, sure, it's a surprise to me. It is only in Nigeria that does happen. Everywhere you go into the world, there are commissions that are set up in this, in America, in Germany, and others to regulate the status of a religious center, civil society organizations, research institutes. Not that whatever money that assets should be at hand, it is audited on a daily basis, and then I can't render to some of these commissions that are being set up. Most pastors in those places, most imams in those places, most directors of the civil society organizations, they are on salaries. They are only entitled to their salaries. They cannot begin to lose the funds that is in the cost of the church, to buy private debt for themselves, to build houses for themselves, to send their students to some of the best schools around the world. And don't make them make them know that they should account for the money that are passed to them, please say no. They also say, please, there has to be a pastor for four or eight years, please say no, you want to be a life pastor, there will be no retirement for you. When under the Nigerian law, they are as specific as because there are many numbers here. You can serve in the secret army, you can serve in the army, you can serve in the police, you can serve in the bank, and send me to many of these other places. They are in the division, they are in the civil society. So why would people want to be sent to a pastor? And they do, they see, they do something. When the ministry is on their side, they search, they march, they start to go to those places, please, they have no skeleton in their cover. They should comply with the law that we have in the Kama. For example, let them try this before, for the next show, at the National Economic Intelligence Agency. Before that program, President Jonathan, we kicked out of office. Now the warriors in Georgia has had the courage to make them need to put the thing into law. The church is the most, and some of these particular people, so to say, are now rising against this. People say they have no case to comply with the law. The church is not a private enterprise of anybody. It's not a business enterprise. No pastors should be there for more than 10 years. Nobody should be there for more than 10 years. There must be a retirement time for both the pastors, for both the men, and the chief priests of the shrines. That's my suggestion. All right, Barista Polawali, there's one more story we should take on the Guardian. Let's just look at it very quickly. Age children found dead in locked car in Badagri, area of Lagos. My brother, all these responses were the fact that human beings no longer have, in my life, no longer have value in Nigeria. It's a children for God's sake. About two weeks ago, there was a report in the media that a puppy in one of the schools in Lagos was beaten to death by his colleague. When he also got to the party, looked at the number of youths that have lost their lives, the encounter with the different security agencies. The youths, the children, are the prime masters of any society, of any country. That is all you find now in places like Germany, Britain, and Northern. Special provisions and priorities are placed on the children until they attain the age of 18. They say to provide milk for them, free education for them, using when it is necessary, free medical facilities. But here, we are trafficking our children, we are using them for this crime. A child will go to a church in on those days and disappear. And then the people who are managing the church will not be able to attend on the whereabouts of that child. And then the court has pleased the church leaders who are supposed to give an account of the disappearance of those children. This is the truth of the matter is that it is not impossible that those children that were found, that were found inside those buses have been trafficked from somewhere, locked up inside that vehicle without ventilation. And in the process, they died. And the first thing was trafficking them, came to abandon them where the vehicle has been found. This is speculation, the police will be the one to defend them. This is the point in time to the collaboration. The circumstances have led to the death of these children, where the children were coming from, where they were going to, where they were going to, we have to let you go at this point. And who found the vehicle that was used to bury them from the point that they were a part of the death. Thank you so much for being part of the conversation after the press. And sharing your thoughts, we look forward to having more of you on the show. Thank you so much. We do appreciate Barista. Tunde Kola Walezil. Of course, I called him a Barista. He's a legal practitioner. Many thanks and we appreciate your time.
