 You are still watching Waze Now World Maritime Day celebrated annually on the last Thursday of September. It is an international day to recognize the importance of the maritime industry and its contributions to the global economy and society. Maritime industry is responsible for transporting over 90% of global trade. It also plays a vital role in the global food supply chain and the energy sector, the tourism industry. World Maritime Day was established by the International Maritime Organization in 1978. The IMO, the International Maritime Organization, is the specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating the maritime industry. Very very important day. This is the people that ensures that we are able first of all connect globally to different trades, different economies. This is the people if we had something to export and give us forex, these are the people that would have helped us to export it. And for a country that has surrounded by water, I think we can do a lot more in terms of international trade. We just need to be very intentional about deriving income revenue from other sectors outside of oil. I also think that while we applaud them on what they are doing so far for transport, what's it called, exports and whatnot, I think they also need to do much more work with clearing our seas and the lakes. I believe they are also in charge of clearing out the hydros and all this stuff. So just to make sure that we have safer oceans, that's what they mean. Yeah, safer oceans, sea and lakes. I'm sure they would have and that's why the IMO has policies. Those are the people that's where the United Nations come because those are the people that would ensure that you know safe, whatever it is that you're safe, what's the word now, safer fields, that is the power that's called those massive ships is not harmful to what's it called, the secretaries. So all that balance, that's where I think those agencies come in to make sure that they are monitoring and they are complying because we really need this, they're not going on especially with global warming and what's it called, our climate change and all of that. So there's nothing, I'm happy that our vice president was appointed chairman of I think the climate change board or something like that. I'm happy. So I mean it's something that is all tied up. Yeah, so I get you, yes, I am sure that that's why they have those agencies to control and regulate to ensure that you know our water is safer and cleaner and you know it's also safe for the creatures in there. Yeah. You like dolphins? I'm also going to swim with dolphins. I love dolphins. Is there a dolphin in Nigeria? Have you seen a dolphin in Nigeria? I don't know. I'm asking you. I'm going to swim with dolphins, isn't Nigeria going to swim with the dolphins? So you're planning a trip, you have exposed yourself to one. I'm saying face your one. What did you find for us in the news, Mary? Okay. From an American tennis player Serena Williams, asserts that she does not celebrate her birthday because she belongs to the Jehovah Witness section. Although she turned 42 on Tuesday, September 26th, Williams will not be celebrating her birthday as her family does not believe in that tradition. Tennis Up To Date reports reports that the 23-time Grand Slam champion and her sister, Venus Williams, were raised as Jehovah Witnesses a subject of Christianity as they both followed their mother or a sin or a sin price in converting to the religion in the early 1980s. An important aspect of the belief is that those who practice the religion do not celebrate their birthdays. On multiple occasions, Williams has spoken about her religious beliefs and she has said being a Jehovah Witness is important to me but I've never really practiced it and I've been wanting to get into it. She said this in 2017. That's interesting. Jehovah Witness doesn't, I mean this is not to like paint bite of any religion or any family of faith but I don't think they wear accessories and I don't think they wear makeup? No, it is... They wear simple. You say, where is it? Abige. There are plenty of Jehovah Witnesses. Are you sure? Like, core to their wear, their wear jewelry. I don't think so. She doesn't, it's a deeper life, it's not... Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Jehovah Witnesses, when this thing was a root shock to me when I was in university because my friends, I mean they were, I was wondering like every time you know it's beddy, they would just keep quiet. I said, what's happening? So that was when I now understood their principles and their laws and all of that. They don't celebrate birthdays. So I was quite shocked to see that Serena Williams was like, okay Jehovah Witness, your position, go out and be preachy. It's not just to celebrate. I need to stay on the streets now. That's what Jehovah Witness is supposed to be about. It's about going to spread the gospel. It's about going, I mean they were the ones that really, really shared the pamphlets. They really, they're big on evangelism. They push the propagation, what's called the evangelical like door-to-door evangelism and all of that. That's what they are about. Yes, they will knock on your door, you know. Oh yeah. Share your answer with you. Do you know the reason for the birthday? So I don't believe in Christmas as well, you know, because again, Christmas is a birthday of Jesus, right? I don't know. I think Abigail explained it to me, but sadly I've actually forgotten why, but they don't just celebrate birthdays. I mean it's not a big deal for me. I'm not big on birthday celebration either. I kind of do it for like tradition. Okay, take a picture, put it out there just with my birthday. Thank you. It's not, they don't even mention it. They don't have knowledge. If you tell them, they don't reply. Yeah. Oh no. No. That's extreme. I need to find out why. See, my friends actually, they will beat me up because they actually explained it to me, but I've forgotten. In case you know the meaning, you can call and tell us. I was just shocked to see that Serena was talking about it. Same, same. Yeah, and that's just actively practicing it. So I'm coming back to the city of Abuja where the current minister of works, David Umahi, has locked down his staff or rather his staff, you know, according to the news that they were always late to work, government workers. And so he would come to the office before the man, so on this Saturday he locked them out of work and because they were late for work and now the staff ended up protesting. So they in return locked up the venue and they were chanting, like it's a crowd. It's not even like five or 10 people. I'm talking like 50, maybe up to 100 people outside with camera men capturing them and they were chanting, he must go, he must go. And the reason is they accused him that since he came into office, he's been high-handed, you know. Yeah, they accused him of high-handedness, you know. So and I was going through, of course, Instablog is all about the comments. I was going through the comments and a lot of people were like, is this the Nigeria that we want? I mean, we should be applauding him or rather the staff should be applauding him for the fact that, you know, he shows up to work at 8 a.m. And so everybody should copy that. That's like trying to be an exemplary leader. But instead you show up at 9 or 10 and, well, you're locked outside of the penalty for being late and in retaliation, you lock up everywhere. Now the minister was stuck in his office. He can't go out and nobody can go in and then people are protesting outside shouting, he must go. How do you handle that? Nigeria's, you see, I think, I really want to hear what you have to say about this. See, I have a headache. Honestly, I have a headache for this country. It's heartbreaking because even when you try and this is why, like you would think it's something affordable he's doing. This is why you see a lot of people when they go into offices, they don't even want to bother to change anything. You know why? Because when you decide to say you want to do be the different, be the change and all that, you are castigated for being good. It's almost like we've gotten so used to bad manners that it is difficult. You know, it would take, see, it would take the grace of God, because you see all this while we are shouting, you love me and God made me change and all of that. The problem, the problem lies with us. You understand? You must be ready to, because imagine that you have someone that has the power to change certain things to your favor. Would you be calm enough to let it not go in your favor? In a lot of times we preach and we talk from two sides of our mouth. You understand? So it's a hard thing. Nigeria is a smart headache and I'm not about to give myself a headache. It's just sad. I mean, I would have pulled him for being an example. There's a video I wanted to play. It's a dispatch rider. If I play it as an SF, it's fine. So this dispatch rider actually apparently had gone, he saw a car, he had already attempted and he successfully opened the car. So he now went back and came back. So it was the narration from the video that he understood what was going on. Apparently this dispatch rider parked his bike because people were passing so he was pretending like he was doing something and he then eventually went inside the car and when he got inside the car he was able to, he had gone before, according to the video he had gone before, he had already successfully opened the car. He was coming back home and finished what he started. So he then opened the car and then he was called entered and I think he stole the brain box. They called it the brain box. It's Toyota Highlander, the newer model. Yes, Toyota, the big SUV Black, I wish they have the video to show. Now, the story is actually quite scary for me. You know, we've been talking about all of these issues around when you ban this, there is a ripple effect. So what we've seen now is those people that used to rob on bikes, they've just shifted their gears because this guy clearly is an armed robber, but is disguised as a dispatch rider. So the guy in the video is saying that we should be careful who would give our goods to. First of all, when I use dispatch riders, I actually use the ride hailing services that are very known. So I believe in my head that the companies have done due diligence to be able to get them to deliver. But I'm just saying now, I think more than ever before, the government should look into regulating that sector because when they ban Okada, we saw an influx of dispatch riders and this one is you just see somebody just put a box is a dispatch rider. No name company, no brand names. And I think, you know, now more than ever before, bigger companies, bigger logistics companies, brands and all of that. If you are not maybe reaching to a certain level, maybe they should just collapse all those people, go and join the bigger companies. People will say, oh, you're killing businesses, but that, yeah, but you can't regulate it because now it means that anybody can just buy the bike, put a box and pretend like it's a dispatch rider going around and doing a lot of things. But don't they have like proper registrations? Because I know that sometimes, sometimes those, I don't know now, because touts as well tax them, you know, at least in sometimes where they're all taxed, the big company dispatch riders, they don't touch them. I've seen them around people. They don't touch the, I don't know what to mention brands, but they don't touch the big logistics company. They don't. So usually it is this no-name people that they touch. So it is even better for the government to just look into it and collapse it because I'm saying that it's a security threat. Because this guy, if you watch the video, he successfully took out the brain box. I just put it inside his box and he drove off. It was the CCTV camera across the building, you understand? That caught it. So it was from the silent, the film that I saw online was the CCTV camera, you know, showing what had happened. So we really must be, we really must choose what we want, you know? But as he stands now, they are a big threat. They are a big threat and they need to really scrap them. So on that note, to take a break. That's scary. Very scary. We'll take a break when we come back from that break. Let's have a conversation. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
