 Who is responsible for the killing of a dozen people in Kuru District of Plateau State? Locals say headers are responsible, but the Header's Association says it's untrue. We'll be talking to people from both sides this morning. Now calls for restructuring of Nigeria continue. Different groups and people have different ideas of what they should look like. This morning, analysts will join us to discuss the kind of federalism that's right. A rattle of feet for us Nigerians. And Nigeria's representative admits Africa's Russia beauty pageant steps out to the bloodstained flag of Nigeria. She's getting praise from NSARS protesters. Glad to have you join us in the studio this morning on the breakfast. I am Annette Felix. And I'm Justin. I'm glad to have you join us. Alright, so I hope you had a great night. I hope you're feeling good this morning. I can totally understand you. You look beautiful as always. Thank you very much. And how are you? You're doing good today. It's a rainy morning. It's a rainy season again. Yes. Well, morning in Lagos. I don't know how it is across from Nigeria today. Yes, so our first top trending really just takes us all the way back to 2020, October 20. The night of the reported shooting at NSARS protesters. And we'll see Nigerians, you know, still talking about that, that very day. It seems like a day that would not be forgotten and a hit in a hurry. Because remember that a few months ago, we saw Bobby, one of Nigeria's finest comedians, step out to the head as a ward with a shirt, a blot, a shirt that is designed in a bloodstained flag. Exactly. So now there's a lady. She's representing Nigeria at the Miss Africa Russia Beauty pageant. Her name is Udecha Maka. She stepped out at that pageant with a blot-stained Nigerian flag. And this just tried to make a statement to say, remember what happened in Nigeria. It cannot be forgotten in a hurry. Exactly. Yes, indeed Nigerians are still bothered about the issues that are plaguing the country, the integrity, the issues of policing and all of that. So it was really something when I read online about how she stepped out to the blot-stained Nigerian flag. Some people are saying that is she trying to disrespect the symbolism of Nigeria. That's the green, white, green flag. Or was she just trying to remind Nigerians that just struggles and whatever they came out to do. October last year cannot just be forgotten in a hurry. I totally agree. And this also reminds me of a very popular pageant, Miss Myanmar, stepped out with... First of all, that's what you're seeing on the screen right there. She's just holding up the flag of Nigeria, stained in blood. Basically trying to call the attention of the international community to what happened on the night of October 20, 2020. And moving on now to our next top trend. And this one is something we've seen a lot of times. Regarding a very popular Nigerian figure, not even Nigerian globally, a very popular figure who has then been accused of so many things, either of intellectual property theft, sexual harassment, whatever it is. And this time around it has to do with very beloved Nigerian rights at Chimamanda. It is really very interesting when you find out that people would just want to do so many things just to get some taste of fame or just to get attached to fame. Well, the story right now is that she got some sort of insult over the social media for someone who she appreciated and she took under her wings. She quoted about two stories there. First of all, someone she thought she could relate with when it comes to feminism and all the other issues. So she came out and she took something she doesn't really do ordinarily, but she trusted this person and the person went back later and stabbed her in the back as it were and even insulted her over social media and trust Nigerians and trust the world to believe things. They see on social media even when they haven't really gotten verification or gotten the other side of the story. So Chimamanda has just gone on to say, first of all, to put that out there, Chimamanda put out a statement called violence saying that this young writer, young Nigerian feminist, she decided to mentor this person and the person took advantage of all that and is now coming out to pedal falsehoods about her. And let me read an excerpt here from the quote. Chimamanda says, no, there isn't more to the story. It's a simple story. You get close to a famous person. You publicly insulted the famous person to aggrandize yourself. The famous person cuts you off. You send emails and texts that you were ignored and then you decided to go on social media to pedal falsehoods. It is obscene to tell the words that you refuse to kiss a ring when in fact there isn't any ring at all. So Chimamanda is basically telling her that she's been hypocritical and that she just was mediocre and tried to basically blackmail her and it just went on and on to say that she tried to... This is someone she mentored. She took special interest in during workshops but the person tried to exploit all of that and not the way the writer painted it out to be. And we've seen many things like this. We've seen many, many situations. For example, the issue of Tobore... I can't pronounce the last one. I think Tobore Ovori and Moa Budo of Eboni Live TV. So she's a journalist whom I know personally and when she reached out to me and eventually the media saying that she had written a book or she had gone on an investigation about sex trafficking in Nigeria and she published that for a site called Zim Chronicles and that Eboni Live TV basically just ripped off her story and did an adaptation of her investigation. Which was not actually true. You know, I really can't say because when you actually read the work and the movie there are lots of similarities. But she came out to say that she gave her credit. She actually appreciated the fact that it was written. It was not originally done by her. That's Moa Budo. She came out to tell the world that she actually gave her some sort of... Well, I say compensation for using her work. So most times people just come out and say half truth and you trust social media and people to just feed on it to not really get in all sides of the story and before you know it, you'll be labeled as a murderer in the Chimamanda's case and of course someone who doesn't support her people with differences as it is. To be honest, like I mentioned these stories we see every day. Yes, we do. So it all makes you want to really think about mentor-mentee relationships. When you find people who are high and up there, people in places you want to be and you're trying to approach them for that mentor-mentee relationship I'm very sure that everybody has at least one story of rejection or maybe the person you're trying to get closer to basically just gives you the cold shoulder. So when you consider things like this you can get a sense of just why or where that person is coming from. Some people just wouldn't want to get insulted at the end of the day and all sorts of lies are being peddled around the world about you. Now for instance, most people would even claim that you are their mentor when they have not even met with you they could just sort of claim all sorts of falsehood just because they admire you just want to get some sort of attachment based on your name, your face, your popularity and they could just go the extra mile just to get to that thing. What is it about fame? I don't know, people just want it don't they? Well they do but it's really really work hard, do your best somehow you just might get famous if someone wants to mentor you that is fine, if someone says you should use my biography it's fine but if you're not giving approval then don't use it even if you went to use it and someone now called you a mentee of that particular person and you are not even coming out to say that you are not after you've used the person in your own piece of work it doesn't make sense to me like she said it is obscene. Indeed, so our next up trending you know makes me ask you this question if you had dual citizenship Nigeria been one of them would you basically abandon your Nigerian citizenship for another country or would you abandon another country for Nigeria? Now this is a very important question because someone asked herself that question and gave very very daring answers and her name is Uninechi Dzog so she's a Nigerian football player she's basically switched her allegiance from Switzerland where she was born and is a citizen to play for Nigeria she's saying she wants to play for Nigeria she wants to dedicate her time to the motherland contribute to the development of sports in Nigeria and I mean that's a picture of her with her team she's on the far right they're smiling to the camera club in green exactly piece of white it is really very interesting you know what with all that we have had and read about Nigeria and how Nigeria looks at you know in the phase of things in the international in the community of nations most people would just want to dump your citizenship and gladly you know get out of the country and maybe acquire visas and look for some sort of residency there's some illegal migration by the thousands daily and people even die in such imperilous journeys in this case you have a you have a Swiss citizenship and because you're born Niger but not really most people would not want to leave you know all the comfort and the big things in quotes that come which are you know leaving abroad and being attached to those particular you know countries would you Aneta? I would need to ask myself that question but I definitely know that if you wave a foreign passport in the faces of many Nigerian youths they'll gladly jump on it about 90% of them 90% of the time 90% of the time just like this but just you know from what we know right on the streets that lots of people would grab that opportunity to leave the country most times you don't blame them because we've been plagued with a whole lot in Nigeria is it insecurity is it use unemployment is it people going to bed without even eating there's poverty in the land there's hunger there's a whole lot and most times these things are not really what you would really want to say that I am so soon Nigerian to Nigerian, I believe in the cause of Nigeria, I believe in the Nigerian dream, whatever that is. Yes, yes, definitely. So most Nigerians want to jack back. But then I'm still Nigerian, I believe in Nigeria. Are you sure you're not serving for your IELTS? You have to answer that question. So Onyichi's dog, you know, basically has picked a side and it's that of her motherland. Also, another reason why Onyichi's dog is trending is because of her beauty. I mean, take a look at the pictures we've been showing on your screen. She is, exactly, she is one beautiful woman. So people have been saying, oh, you're coming to Nigeria. Are you single? Are you married? Do you have a man in your life? So questions like that, you know, Nigerians just like to, Nigerians just like to feel good. You know, awesome, man. We always want to be attached to beautiful ladies and that. So you don't blame us when we see fine ladies and that. Of course, when there's no working on the thing that you just, you know, tempted to ask her, are you single? Do I stand the chance? You know, all of us, all of this just come to mind. So you don't blame us. It's just a Nigerian thing. You think so? It's a human thing. It's a human thing. Everybody wants to fix something. Who doesn't want to be attached to beauty? Who doesn't want to be beautiful or beautiful ladies around them? Exactly. I do. Justin for the ladies. Well, you can say that again. All right. Let's take a break here and we'll return with off the press where Mr. Ade Mola Kimbola, the publisher of the podium media is standing by to help us analyze the papers this morning.
