 International Firefighters Day is a time where the world's community can recognize and honor the sacrifices that firefighters make to ensure that the communities and environments are as safe as possible. It is also a day in which current and past firefighters can be thanked for their contributions. So we went past the fire station today on Awolawa Road and my son said, Mommy, look a fire station. It almost doesn't cross your mind, at least for me anyway, that we have fire stations because I'm used to, in different places where fire stations are part of the, you know, you see them, you know, everywhere you go, you see fire stations. But here it's like a odd thing, you see a fire station then, a fire station is empty, maybe there are no engines and then, you know, you compare them to the, you know, Chicago fire or the shows you watch and you think what should firefighters be like. But saying that, I think that we've also had some fire experiences here in Lagos where I've seen firefighters at work. So there are firefighters out there doing good work. So today we celebrate them. What have your experiences been? I don't know, not particularly. Any experience means, but I think that they're actually doing a very great job because before, when, I think so for you, because before, when there's a fire, or before they get there, the fire have finished, they have finished. There's no petrol to move the vehicle or there's no water. It's always one silly story or the other. But in recent times, when there has been fire, even if they get there, maybe towards the end of the fire shop, at least they get there. I have to give it to the emergency services in Lagos in particular actually. They've actually been trying. They can do better. I really don't know because I've never seen firefighters at work. So even in videos where there are actually fire incidents happening, I've only seen people around trying to put out the fire, but not actual, actual firefighters. Most times those videos are taken in the beginning of when these things happen. But even in the stories, I don't, I don't see where people say, Oh, they're trying. We're not saying that they're doing, they're doing it perfectly. You know, you're not talking about even the fire stations. I served in Abiyakuta and on the way to my house, there's this fire station. When I first saw it, I'm like, Oh, there's a fire station here. And I passed there every day. And guess what? Every day I passed there, I always looked towards the fire station because I'm just marveled that there's actually a fire station there. So I think sometimes I'm just looking to see, are there people there? Are there people there? Is there anything happening? I want to see a fire engine or a fire truck. I don't, I just see the truck. Most times it's why I stay. I just see the truck. I'm looking very dusty, but I don't see people at the fire station. So I'm just like, huh, do these people actually work? Is there anyone there? If there's a fire now with this work? And so I remember when they showed, I don't know if it was a governor or somewhere, a minister who was supposed to commission a fire station. And then when they got there, I think about five fire trucks, when they opened the fire trucks, they were actually dusty. There was no extinguisher inside. The normal things that you would find, he said, okay, open the tank. Let me see. There was no water inside. So the question he asked them, I think even, do we feature in life? And the guy said, wait, so if they call you for fire now, what would you do? What would you use? And I said, I gave you puma there. You said that these are actually new fire trucks, those fire trucks. When you open them, these seats were dusty inside. We have several agencies in Nigeria that are just there for being their sake. They are not particularly doing the work. But for Lagos State, I think that's less of how low, but I mean. I hope they do more. Okay, so let's start with Jennifer. What did you find for us in the news? So Fina, the latest big brother in Nigeria, reality show winner who won about 100 million Naira, said that the show is actually very toxic. And when I posted it to the group, who I said she should return the money now, 100 million Naira, I think you can give it back. But I think that I sort of, I mean, I don't watch the show, but the franchise itself, this kind of feedback is not really unusual. I think the producers need to create an entertaining show. So they may lean. I mean, I tried to see in the story if she gave any context to why she said it, but she didn't. But you know, you can sort of put two and two together. No, but Big Brother is actually a very toxic show for, you know, it's a social experiment. And then they thrive on controversies a lot. So that's what actually makes it very toxic. Because if there's no controversy, there's no entertainment. Do you get it? So it is indeed a very toxic show. And if you're not emotionally strong, they always advise actually, if you're not emotionally strong, don't bother going for the show because people will throw you. There's going to be a lot of backlash from the things you did not say to the things you actually said, even when people, I mean, obviously misunderstood your words and all that. So it really is a toxic show. I think I saw one of the, I don't know if it was the past Big Brother, I think it was Beauty, who had said that the strategy she wanted to take into the house, by the time she got into the house, she had to change it because she had to change herself. So basically, you're going in there and people are telling you, you have to put on a show. You have to do something. And that's why she was very toxic in there. She was always fighting for the smallest and tiniest things that actually did not make any sense. But she had to put on a show. And even the audience are also very toxic. So it's like, it's everybody. So I think the show needs to take a rest. To give away a hundred million in prize money, they don't need to restrategize or something. That's what the show is about. I stopped watching about two, three years ago. If you're not ready, don't go into it because it's really a game. So you need to, you can't go into a game where there are several other people contesting and you don't have strategies. And most times in this game, the villains win. Maybe not win, but the villains go far. Because they have to keep them on board to make it engaging. But yeah, Dami, what did you find for us? Okay, so what I found for us in news today is something very similar to what we'll be discussing anyway. So a year to be identified Nigerian police woman has distributed new pairs of socks to students who do not have them in Lagos. I mean, I think this is a very good act considering that we're talking about security, you know, police and non-police. And you know, when we're talking about, when we're talking about people, I mean, there's a good part that we should not live out. So I believe that this is, this woman is one of the good Nigerian police officers or people who are in this country. Because I mean, I mean, no more Nigerian police people, you'll not see them giving out socks. What's their business if you don't have socks? But I mean, this, this woman's act could be from a place of being a mom, being a mother. It could be from a place of normal just basic human decency. But what she did is actually very good. There's also one woman's video that I always see online. I don't know if she's the same person. But this woman, when she she crosses the children, so they have to literally pass beside her. And when she sees any one of them that is not properly tidy, you know, she like tries to tidy them up, dress properly. I don't know if he's the same person as well. But you know, things like that actually go a long way. Because for various reasons, some people probably don't even have parents at home. They may stay with their parents. And in this society, I don't know if it's just a Yoruba thing. Yeah, but there's just this thing that you're not the only parents of a child. We are exactly, we're just all to get exact. So I think that it's a very good act. Yeah, kudos to her. Well done to you for finding a positive story about the police today. So very quickly. So my story says Lagos government shot another popular grocery store over expired products. Now we talked about the civil service a couple of days ago, and I mean, there's just a lot of agencies and all. So this story says that on Wednesday, the Lagos State government shut down a popular store called Chimesier store located at 19 of Gundana Street off Allen Avenue in Akeja for allegedly selling expired goods to members of the public. It gathered the store was sealed during a sting operation. Now, I mean, why the story stood out for me? Because this was done by the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency last copper. It was interesting. I mean, not enough backstory here. But the first thing that came to my mind was, oh, great, somebody's checking. But the second thing that came to my mind is, see, when you have so many small, we live in a country full of private sector businesses, SMEs and all. And I wonder what kind of quality checks, because if you go to most supermarkets in Nigeria, we like the small space, you cram all these things in there, right? So my point is, what processes do these kind of stores have to check? The guy may not even know that it expired because none of his staff have gone to check. They just bring new stock, they push the thing with the back, they put it in front. Things are certainly improved. I mean, I remember maybe back in the 80s, 90s, we used to deal with a lot of fake products. I mean, people like NAFTA can change a lot of things, SON. But these kinds of things, in my mind, I think, is it a honest mistake? But certainly when you then have an organization like this that is checking, the owners is on every single store, supermarket, anybody that is selling goods that can expire to certainly be out and checking because they're checking for you. Okay, so I think we should take a break now and while we come back, we'll jump right into the discussion for today. Please stay with us.
