 Inflation-high interest rates spike sales rents by 40% in major cities. That's one of the topics we'll be talking about today on the show. And also, full list of Tiananbu's nominees confirmed as ministers by Senate. There's also going to be off-the-press, where we lift from off-the-press headlines that have made it to the national dailies this morning. Very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on the breakfast. My name is Nyam Gul Akgaji. Today promises to be a very, very wonderful Wednesday morning. Keep your mind positive and we're going to scale through today and make the best of the moments that we have. Life is not about what you had before or what you're expecting. It's about living for the moment and at this moment you're alive. It's every reason to thank God for. We move immediately to our top trending issues for this morning. Nigeria content creators are now praising Elon Musk as he announced receiving alerts or announced the payment of the content creators in Nigeria. They have claimed that they had started receiving credit alerts from the social macro blogging site owned by American businessman or a South African businessman I'd like to call him, Elon Musk. X, formerly known as Twitter, is now paying content creators. Twitter Blue has been trending and some users have confirmed receiving an email from the social media company notifying them that some amounts have been credited to their accounts. And that is because ads revenue are coming in. In June, Musk announced that Twitter would start to pay content creators for their advertisements displayed in their replies with an initial payment pool of five million dollars. A popular ex-user said that a new policy will favor content creators to get more money for the work done on product adverts. That is Shola, who is one of the content creators. WIEC. Second top trending is that WIEC holds results of over 130,000 candidates from states owing millions. The West African Examination Council, WIEC, has withheld results of students from eight states of the Federation that sat for the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination WASTS over the indebtedness of the states to the council. The head of the National Office, Mr. Patrick Aregaan, disclosed these at a press briefing in Lagos on Monday, August 7. On the categories of results, he said that out of the number of candidates that sat the examination, a total of 1,476,565, representing 91.5%, had their results fully processed and released. Mr. Aregaan noted that 137,168 others representing 8.5% had a few of their subjects still being processed due to some shortcomings ranging from nonchalance, lethargy, incomplete upload, disobedience of rubrics, and others associated with the schools and candidates concerned. And while stressing that the results of candidates sponsored by states indebted to the council will not be released until they pay the monies that they owe. He listed Zamfara and Niger as the highest debtors. He however refused to mention the remaining states. While Aregaan also did not give the amount the states owe individually and collectively, it reportedly runs into hundreds of millions of Naira. And then we'll be wondering, a student goes to school, he registers or she registers for the examinations, but because the states are owing, the results are withheld. This morning I also saw a story on the social media how a lady, a young woman was just praising God that she made the results that she did not expect. One of the subjects that she was surprised about was literature. She practically, according to her, she practically wrote nothing on the sheet of paper that was given to her to answer the question because she was coming directly from the hospital or something like that and she didn't have time to read, she didn't have time to even write because she was late for the exams and all that. Yet, she had a wonderful result and she's wondering where the result came from. She also expressed surprise that she had A1 in mathematics that she knows little or nothing about. So, well, Arega has to look into all these issues. It's not just to withhold results because of states that are owing and the students will now be thrown into jeopardy, as it were, look into other issues that are making things difficult for people and are making things, you know, people ask questions. For instance, we just had a problem with Jam where a little girl claimed that she had so much scores and it turned out that she didn't have. Till date, a lot of people do not believe that story the way it ended, that that was it. Some people still believe that the girl may have been blackmail into just accepting that it was her fault and all that. So, we still do not know a lot of things about these examination bodies. More openness should be practiced by these examination bodies. Why egg? How do you mark your results? What goes into it? I've seen a situation where some people who wrote extremely well just failed and those others that didn't even write anything as it were will just get flying colors. How does this work? Do you always have a glitch? Is there a problem that people need to help you solve? Is this something that you need the government to do? Is it something that can be done or something, nothing can be done about it? Let's just know how it is. Already a lot of people are talking about the fact that there are too many examinations in Africa and especially in Nigeria. So, if we have to have the examinations, things need to move well. Those who deserve need to pass the way they deserve and those who do not deserve need to be given a second chance to do so. Well, it's still the break fast on Plus TV Africa and we do hope that you're having a wonderful mid-day. Whatever you do today, keep your mind positive. We'll take a short break and when we return, we'll be going to the press to see what is making the headlines on our dailies. Stay with us.
