 All right, World Statistics Day is celebrated on the 20th of October to mark the importance of data in decision-making and policy formulation. The day promotes awareness about the contribution of statistics in shaping the world. The theme for the day which is connecting the world with data, we can trust, reflect the importance of trust, authoritative data, information, and the public good in national statistics system. This particular day, we need to call budgets, don't say where we speak to them, because I'm still wondering when, when, when, when would we have the proper sensors taken in our country? So we know our statistics, we know our numbers, like real-time real-life, not the one that is political. Yeah, because that one, you can't even trust it. I think it's very, very important, and this is not just for population purposes. I think data is something that is very, very important. Funny enough, earlier today, I was actually in a meeting, and this was what we were discussing. We were discussing how data is very, very important in development of the nation and the country, and even how the nation, like Nigeria, who is just picking up on the, you know, the idea of technology, can use technology, which makes it easier in order to get data. Because data is very, very important in terms of, data helps you do a lot of things. It helps you in marketing, it helps you in planning, it helps you in reporting. Because when you have data, then you're able to match it with what you have in the physical and be able to balance it up and know, okay, there's a loophole here. And for the longest time, because due to a lack of data, Nigeria has gone through a lot of issues. That's why we have ghost workers and governments, we have all those things, because there's no proper data to account for the people who are actually doing the work, and actually in those positions. So the lack of data, even for this palliative thing that we're going to do, I saw Betayedu saying that they were going to be paying 25,000 to some Nigerians. So I keep on asking, what are the parameters for this measurement? Because if you give me 25,000 Naira monthly right now, even me, I will collect it. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because there is nobody right now that does not need that extra cash, right? So what is your parameter for selecting these people, you know, that you say you want to be paying 25,000 Naira every month? No, no, no, no, I think the most important thing, like for today, is for us to even have the data. When you now have the data, we can now, so when you have the data, you'll be able to see clearly all these things you're talking about. Because if you don't have that data, then you have a lot of people sleeping, a lot of dead agents and sleeper agents into that list, and lists like that. So things can either be over or under, based on the lack of data. So data is very, very important. It helps even, it helps in marketing, it helps in advertising, it helps in planning, like you said, which is something that we don't do enough in Nigeria. And I think we should take it seriously. And it starts from even statistics. Knowing how many people are really in Nigeria, if you Google it, you see some statistics will say we're about 211 million. Some statistics will say 216 million. So you are wondering, did five people, five million people, dead? Jonathan, where is that calculation from? So you can't even trust that data and use it for anything worth it. Okay, so what did you point for us in the news, Angel? Well, mine is just the current state of the third main land bridge. You see, so there's a video I saw online about the massive potholes, different major sections of the third main land bridge. And the reason why this is news is because it's great concern. The bridge was closed a few years ago for a long period of time. And what we were told is that the bridge was being maintained. Now, the first time it happened, I think that one went almost a year. The first time it happened, they said they were just, at the end of the exercise, they said they were just making sure that the holes between the joints were properly secured. And for me, when you say you're maintaining a whole third main land bridge, or an important roadway like that, you are thinking that the whole process of maintaining the bridge would be put into concentration. So when you say that you are only securing the edges, then what happens to this? Look at that video. There are massive potholes on third main land bridge. You can't even do like 50, you know, you can't drive for five minutes on the bridge without encountering a massive hole, a massive pothole. And this is somewhere that is continuously maintained, at least every three years now, they close down the bridge, they are maintaining, they are doing this, and road users are meant to take alternative routes. And then now we're looking at this and we have massive potholes. They will do tomorrow too, because they said they will close it down tomorrow. You see, that's what I'm saying. And Sunday for maintenance. Well. And that thing is just patchwork. It's just patchwork. So I don't even know how the third main land bridge, we can get a permanent solution because, as I said yesterday, because this matter, I don't talk about it, I don't tire. As I said yesterday, right, there are so many improved technologies. If you go online, in fact, so, for me, Instagram is not where to go and be, what's it called, doing amoeba that does not concern you, right? I actually go there to learn. And most of the people, the handles that I follow, right? There's a lot of, and so there's a, because I love engineering, so there's a particular engineering handle that I follow. If you see the kinds of interesting, what's it called, solutions that they have developed, or they are always showcasing to treat cracks in the wall, to treat these kind of potholes and all of that, these solutions are out there. Like, literally, why do we need to, because again, there will be a budget for this thing every single year. Does it make any sense to you as a government if it were your business? Now, you see this is what I keep saying with governance, right? Focus on these things like you owned the business because if it were your business, I don't think I would call you to repair something for me every single year. The same thing, it's not like it's a different thing. Come and repair it, come and repair it. This was why I went up generator in my house because at some point, it was almost like every midnight, we must call Nogin to come and fix the generator and start it because there was just something, I don't understand why is there when we try to start the generator, it's not started. But if you come, it will start. So it was almost like he was collecting daily income for, you know, on that. So because of that, we went up generator and we went solar full scale and for how many years now is peace of mind, there's no stress, there's nothing, right? The same thing should apply because sometimes I feel like we treat some of these government facilities or infrastructure like, it's not my business. But it makes sense to me if I see a government that does not repeat a project, do you understand from a previous year? That means that they're actually working because there are many more things to be done. If we keep on repeating, re-budgeting, re-budgeting on this same project and nobody's doing it and nobody, we are not seeing that anybody is being jailed or anybody is being arrested or anybody is being asked to go and refund the money that they did not do the job. Then what are we doing? It's just sad. All right, so I just wanted to bring my own story is, because yesterday, Sansi had taken the Mr. Ibru story. There's an update on it. The potential, our auntie, the actress, she's actually the, I'm trying to find her title now, Head of Communications for Actors Guild of Nigeria, right? That's her title, Director of Communications, Actors Guild of Nigeria, that's her title. So she said, I mean, she said a lot of things in this video, but a few things I'd like to highlight because again, these were some of the allegations that were made that, you know, actors don't care for each other. I mean, actors don't have like a health insurance schemes and all of that. I mean, from what she said in that video that the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, which is a mecca ruler, I think maybe we should just play a bit of what she said and I'll come back. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Kate Henshaw. I am the Director of Communications for the Actors Guild of Nigeria. We are compelled to make this public statement in reaction to the vitriterations of some netizens over the health of one of our respected and esteemed members, Mr. John Okaafal, popularly known as Mr. Ibo. We are not here, however, to join issues with anybody but we want to set the record straight over the public outcry that the Guild and his colleagues have abandoned him at his point of need. The Guild has never abandoned any of its members in me, especially with health interventions. We have been in the forefront of providing necessary support to Mr. Ibo even before his health condition was ever made public and this has been done with the full knowledge of his immediate family members. We have had to task members privately to help in providing assistance towards the intervention. We do not make public... All right, so she said a lot of things. One was the fact that a lot of the members, right, quietly have been taxed even before the case came out in public because I know that there was a time Mr. Ibo was ill, you know, but everything became... So it's been coming and going like that. So this is something that they have been doing without even making noise. Secondly, that it is embarrassing that we always have to have actors come online, that they don't encourage the actors, that it is quite embarrassing for actors to come and go cap in hand, that they had also taken out time to create what's called an insurance scheme and it's as low as $22,000 per annum, like literally because they are a huge member, they'll be able to get very cheap, what's called health insurance that can actually do a lot of things for them. So they have those things in place and she said something again that in a lot of all these actors, these things are available, but it is, I mean, they cannot compel them to take advantage of these things that are available. So the best they can do is to say, these things are available, you come and take advantage of it. And for the Guild, it is also important that actors identify with them and pay their dues, right? Because this is how they would know that you are a member of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. So I mean, she said so many things. I think there's one committee that Antijoke Silver set up. I mean, she said a lot of things in that video. It was really packed. And this is the thing I would always say that, why do actors have to get to that point where they come out online to talk about their health, right? Is it that you did not make better choices or is it that you did not take advantage of maybe things like insurance and all? So all of these things, she's mentioned it. I'm sure they didn't use to have it because it is under this new president, the Mekarol rollers, I think that's his name, that some of these was called initiatives are coming up. So why are they not taking advantage of it? Because for me, I think it's really, really embarrassing for someone that you watch every day and all of that to get to the point where they now start to beg for funds online. It's really not a good pretty thing to watch. Well, it's quite an unfortunate case. I don't even know how to lend my voice on this, but what I would say, well, they have come out to say their own side and I would also say that it's very, very important for even viewers not to be too quick to judge and point fingers. If you have the well with all to make any sort of contribution, then you do that on your own. Quietly. You know, quietly. It's not everyone that's used to just stepping out and saying, oh, I donate Soso amounts or bring the cash to show it off. On social media. So some people, there are people who are used to doing things and lending such help from the comfort of their home and would love to stay, remain anonymous. So if there's any way anyone can be of help, they will definitely, but as an association, she has come out to lend a voice on behalf of the association to say that they have actually been of great help to the family. So I guess we should just watch what always confirmed before we say things on social media. It's quite important. Again, you know, it's so difficult for me when I see some of these things, I'm in between these guys. You guys realize that, okay, this one is, because there's a part of every human being right now I see on social media that I want to show off, right? Sometimes I have to fight myself. You understand? From why you're not supposed to post this thing. Don't even post it. Do you understand? I literally have to talk myself not to post certain things on social media. I have limited, like literally limited my posts to maybe just my work that I do, right? So it is sometimes when I see these things, oh, okay, they now post the bank receipt that they've also made a transfer and all of that. I get it that somebody is trying to encourage another person to say, okay, me too, I've contributed my own two cents and all of that, but I don't know, these things sometimes it can just be done quietly. I get the part that a lot of times maybe when you're quiet, maybe you don't get the attention. Maybe when you speak it out like this, people can now come out to say, okay, you know what? Oh, I didn't know you were going through this. So it's just a lot of things. I feel like there's a lot that is going on. But for me, I really pray that he gets well. And I want to say to everyone, this is not even to misceibrile alone, like let's just make better health choices because some of these health challenges, if you look at them, they really can be avoidable. I mean, as a kid, you see her all the time. Every morning at 7 a.m., I've been at 6, 6 a.m. self. I mean, she doesn't joke with that exercise. Some days I was just looking at her and saying, God, when? But the truth is, if you live, you know, your life, like your life matters, you understand? It will show even in your choices and it will actually impact your health, your overall well-being. So let's just be conscious about, you know, our life choices, it's very important. So we'll take a break now. When we come back from that break, let's touch on the answers three years later.
