 All right, then let's take a look at the leadership newspaper this morning. I mean, I'd like to start off with the leadership. It talks about the 2023 campaign. Atikut Tunubu Kwankwaso offers a solution to ailing economy. That's how the leadership caption said this morning. There are several riders, APC flag bearer targets, 10% GDP growth. The question should be how? In U.S., to attract investment to Nigeria, ex-Vice President. And you remember there was a saga about him not being able to get to the United States because he had some issues, he had diplomatic concerns. Well, maybe he was trying to prove a point there. Job creation plan will reposition the economy. Kwankwaso, that's the NMPP quoted to say. Now depreciates further to 800 at parallel markets. And yesterday we asked why was the essence of having multiple exchange rates? Ignore G5 at your own parallel or Tom1's PDP. Oh, really? So we have G5. We talk about G5 now in Nigeria. Redesign, Naira won't check the rising inflation. That's what analysts quoted to say. I mean, despite the fact that this is one of the reasons for redesigning the Naira, but economic or financial experts are saying contrary to this. I can't wait to share GD's thoughts. PMB Saludo, others mourn as Mba Zulikei dies at 93. A nationalist and a legend of that. Presidential candidate orders console and condo with David O. trauma over his sons or over their son's death. I mean, that has actually thrown Nigerians into serious mourning. And just before we move away from the leadership, we'll just take this one quickly. Terror lets devastating to economy, federal government. You have to see prop $6 billion power projects. That's the much we can take at this point. Let's go to the nation with these headlines. Al-Unbondal transmission to provide power says Tidwu Al-Unbondal transmission to provide power. He's met the organized private sector in Lagos State yesterday to interact with them. Interesting one there. He made some statements about his economic and business agenda. Rather to that restates commitment to double-digit GDP, promises consumer credit, revolution, renewed anti-terror war. More from the nation. First Republic Minister Meiji dies at 93. One killed many injured in Lagos fire. IU can't lead PDP to victory. We can't insist. And Faso Ranti, a fairly fair has endorsed Tidwu. Write us for those who say, you know, the mind denied it. Well, there you have it. Passengers stranded as unions picket MMA2. Investors lose. 2.8 trillion error. Sell-off worsens. Please probe. David, it was domestic workers over son's death. US UK terror warnings will hurt Nigeria's economy. Says FG. Some stories on the front page of the nation. Well, let's quickly move away from the nation newspaper and just quickly check out the next paper for us is the punch. And on the punch, you find ESCC plans massive raid on Forex dealers. That's the dollar crisis. Narrow's freefall worsens now 857 error. So we talked, we're talking about 800 narrow. A bunch of Forex dealers flee into hiding. Kogi politician arrested with 326 million narrow BDC operators back commission. The riders you find underneath the board caption on the punch. Now, moving away from that, David Oothopsy, likely as police, three, six workers and detained to, you know, the entire country has been thrown into mourning. And of course, our condolences with the family. Still looking at the front page of the punch. Commuters lament whence Legos drivers bark. Drugs wanted Legos hoteliers, six houses, 217 million narrow seized. Kwankeesotri recruit 1.5 million soldiers and policemen. We're looking at the campaign of 2023. Why I am better than Atiku or be on economy. And Tinibu, that's what Tinibu is going to say. I'd like to take this again. Why I'm better than Atiku or be on economy. Former Legos state governor, I schooled her to say. I'm sure that that should, you know, mean a lot. But Jida Johnson will be telling us more. That's it on the punch this morning. I don't take a final paper of the Guardian very quickly. 2023 rift widens in Southwest over a fairly ferris endorsement style. Medical trip, clock chides Buhari over failure to transmit power to Vice President That's a very important one. Airlines count losses relocate operations as union shots. MMA to some of the, uh, the, the stories on the front page of the Guardian. One is the urges FG to honor May she's memory. Release Kano, uh, some of those, uh, those, uh, stories on the front page. We won't take too much time there. Bring in Jida Johnson's, you know, lecture on hydration of journalism at this point. Jida Johnson, let's start with, uh, a fairly fair day. Taking the headlines again today after, uh, denial. Now the, uh, the first round T camp won't call it that. It's now coming out with a full chest, a full chest to say, um, uh, the endorsing the ABC presidential candidate. What are your thoughts on this? This, what this thing, this developing story and, uh, the lack of unity shown in the Southwest politics as far as a very fair is concerned. There's, there's no difference in the pattern of the various endorsement presidential candidate of the DCR machine. We have the cases of the Bishop, um, the Bishop that came to Abuja. And you also have controversy training. It's, um, it's endorsement or non-endorsement. But Jida Johnson, can you please, uh, turn down the volume of your television set? We seem to be having a haul back. You know, uh, can you please turn down the volume or turn off the volume? Uh, so while we're waiting for Jida Johnson. Thank you. This, uh, very matter has been one that, uh, has, um, uh, snowballed. It has, it's in danger of snowballing to something that may, uh, may, may be far from far worse than what we're seeing it to be right now. I'm sure Jida Johnson knows that very well. Politics of the Southwest as far as the national politics is concerned can, can get, can go to extremes. Uh, remember the day of the Wild, Wild West, you know, uh, in Nigerian politics. So I'd like to take his thoughts, uh, get to hear what he has to say about this. But, um, you know, it started with the now. In fact, I was discussing this at some point yesterday, not day before yesterday. And someone said, Oh, the man has denied it. He said he'd never endorse anyone, uh, that he only blessed, and if that's who comes or becomes here. But I mean, from what the people are saying this morning, we can see, um, that, uh, uh, the, the, uh, the thing is widening. Though the writers on the Guardian give a little bit of a different twist to what other people like the nation, uh, are saying. For instance, uh, what the Guardian sent a writer to that headline, uh, 2023, rift widens in Southwest of our fenniferous endorsement style. Um, it says, conscience of Yoruba nation and those tillable, not a fennifer. Um, I remain a fenniferous leader. We're backing tillable, first of all, to insist. Southwest students ask a day by day to set aside grudges, uh, adopt tillable. Tillable woos press. So that's okay. We have a guest back down. Gina Johnson, uh, welcome back. So you can continue in the, with the point you were making. As far as I'm concerned, if we see that, um, there's a discordant to respect to his endorsement or not endorsement, we had, we had the position of chief fire at the banjo. Now we're hiring the position of chief fire personality. Um, Controversy has trade the, uh, the candidate of the APC with respect to, to, to his, to his endorsement by Bishop or Bishop or by different groups across the length and breadth of the country. Controversy has treat his, his education and the rest of it. I think, uh, moving forward, the candidate needs to step away from, from controversy. And there is usually this misconception that, um, the Southwest will vote in the same manner or I, for example, will be influenced by the endorsement or non-endorsement of a very, very, um, as far as the election is concerned, Nigeria is a bit sophisticated than what used to be in 1999 or what used to be in the 1970s or 1960s. People are looking beyond the prism of the ethnic group or the interest, particularly in the South to vote for whoever they want to vote for. But I think that the candidate of the APC needs to move away from, from, from crisis and from controversy of endorsement or non-endorsement, faith Bishop or no faith Bishop. It will help the candidate to, to ensure that he moves away from, from controversy. And if you check the result of 1979 election, I would have already now been over a million in the Southwest. You be shocked with the number of votes that, that Shagari polled, that MPM polled in the Southwest concerning the presidential election. The results are there that, um, the margin of the votes that they were able to poll, even in the Southwest, where you have how low of a dominant presence, not to talk of a situation where there's no dominant presence compared to how low or when you compare as you are due to. So, I think they, they need to address issues and leave the, the mundane issues of endorsement or no, or non-endorsement. This particularly works better in America, but in Nigeria. It works for them in 20, in 1990. I can't understand the desperation because without the endorsement of Afaniferitunian would have become the governor of Ligusti in 1999. It will have a full show lips. It will have a full show lips. In our choices, four local government elections were cancelled in 1999. Fortinue to win the nomination of action, allowance for democracy in 1999. The result of, if I call Jai local government, Ikorodu local government, Mushin local government, and Ligusti island local government, were added to the result of the powers of the allowance for democracy. Function will have become the, the, the gubernatorial candidate of the DAD. So, I will see the desperation for those that understand the politics of, of Ligusti and the politics of, of the Southwest. GD Les, quickly look at the issue, the dollar crisis and, you know, the solutions or the actions from government and her agencies. The EFCC plans massive raid on Forex dealers. What do you make of this? It's only in Nigeria that you have an informal sector engaging in narrow exchange. Where do you go to, anywhere in the world that you see people selling the, their currency on the road? There's none, there's none. Where you see people trading in the currency? If you want to do any transaction, you go to, go to commercial, go to commercial banks for you to get, to get this done. Also, it's only in Nigeria that you see that governors and government officials will be spending foreign currency. We have preference for, for, for, for, as the good tender, as, as, as the currency of exchange. It's only in Nigeria you see this. It's only in Nigeria that you see that governors will openly be spending dollars. Ministers will only be spending dollars. And then, so the, the, the tests and the demand for dollar, we always be on the increase. We have it on record that there are states in Nigeria where the governors will, the governor, the governor then, we collect the allocation. Once the allocation of youth government is released, you ask the youth government chairman to convert the allocations to, to, to, to dollars. You give them their wish here and then they will, they will use it. So until we have respect for Nigeria, until we have uniform exchange mechanism, not parallel mechanism. Whereby you have the official rate and then you have the parallel, parallel rate. There's no way in what it is done. And there's no way Nigeria will be fashionable. You know the joke someone shared. He said he would have loved America to come out with the idea that they want to change the color or the design of the dollar. And that people should submit or should deposit or should load the, the, the dollars they have in the bank at a particular date. That after that date, then the dollar becomes irreplaceable. He said that's when you see the panic among the Nigerian, the Nigerian elites. And the Nigerians, the, the Nigerian political class. So he said this Naira, the one for Naira is nothing. So what, what is, what is, what is, what is even to, to, to people, you will see when we are, we are out cases of governors giving dollars. It's at the people that here since your arrest, as far as I'm concerned, why, why would you make dollar to be the, the good tender, the currency of exchange in Nigeria and you really get your whole. So what value do you think over time? What value, even if you give a kid and a message, if you give, if you show a two year old dollar and Naira, the two year old will go for a dollar. That's how bad the perceptual value of our currency is. And then we are talking of the currency improving in value, improving in value. People made money from exchanging, from, from engaging in parallel market. They will buy the dollar at official rate and they will go and sell at the parallel market. So the, the, the, it's something that we have a situation. I mean, can you be compared to, you know, what the city is actually facing, you know, in Ghana? You know, while you were in secondary school, while I was in secondary school, we had a lot of, we had a lot of Ghaninians until there was a policy of DMG. We had a lot of Ghaninians. Cities was regarded as toilet, toilet, toilet paper in the 80s. What has happened to the, to the value of cities over time? It improved considerably until, until the recent economic meltdown necessitated by the lockdown and the COVID, the COVID measure which brought about a halt in business activities. It has affected almost every currency all over the world. It's only the Naira that has engaged the freefall and this freefall will continue. This freefall will continue until we make Naira to be the lead contender. The currency of exchange in Nigeria, even for government, for central bank governors, for officials of central bank and the ministries, and it is a government. The dollar is more fashionable to them than Naira. All right, Djulijans, let's go back to, let's go back to leadership this morning with this look at the terror leds by the foreign missions in some foreign missions in Nigeria, foreign embassies and the federal government through the minister of information and cultural haji, live Mohammed, pointing out that the terror leds having a devastating impact on Nigeria's economy. Maybe they shouldn't make even these leds if that is the case. What's your take on this? What was the initial reaction when the terror leds were released? Releasing terror leds is not something new or something which is done in civilized society all the time. You have level one, level two, level three, level four, level five. So they released this leds for you to be conscious. But we know you are in a society whereby government officials are well protected by the various security agencies they have. So they care less about the citizens. But in other climes, the citizens are the masters. So we need to research the people. So they raise terror a lot. In London, they raise terror a lot from different types of levels and different terms with different measures. I recall the initial reaction of the minister saying that in this country they have terror issues. So why are they raising, now he's talking about two other, why would you not, our economy, they have their own intelligence. They have their own intelligence in dealing with terror, in dealing with terrorism and other security issues. It's about the level of your intelligence. And intelligence is interpretation of information. What are the information you have gathered? What sense are you making of it? Now they gathered the information and they interpreted it, they came up with an intelligence report. Before they released the, before they released it publicly, they must have shared this with agencies of government in India. These are the stuffs, these are the things, these are the intelligence you have gathered. What are the steps you are taking? And you didn't do anything about it and you expect them to continue with it. And you think it will not hold. You see, it is very, very clear that there's no doubt that it will hold the economy. Because one, let's say for example, the embassies of United Kingdom and United States were closed in our border. People that want to go for a visa or people that wants to come to Nigeria to do business and they come to Nigeria. So I just think that the minister needs to be more cautious and more proactive in releasing a statement and in reacting to whatever information or whatever intelligence that is shared by other countries with respect to the security situation in Nigeria. There's no doubt, you don't need rocket science or issues here to tell you that. Once the terror alert is raised, it will definitely affect businesses because it will affect movement of people and goods across the land and bread of the country and the nation. So it's just a basic understanding of international economies. All right, GD Johnson, thank you so much. We have to go. We look forward to sharing your thoughts on Friday or things being called. That's the much that we can take and we do appreciate your time. Thank you Masiya and thank you people for it. Have a wonderful week. You too. And I call the last piece to the video and chairman. Very sad one indeed. Thank you very much, GD. So we'll take a break. We'll look at what happened today in history today of course being the second day in the month of November and yesterday was the anniversary of the Ikui building collapse. When we return, we'll continue more conversations of course.
