 Okay welcome back and it's time for us to take a look at what the headlines are saying and on some major dailies. We'll be joined by Tunde Kola, our illegal practitioner, to take a look at them critically after we've read them out. So we'll start with the punch newspaper this morning and the punch newspaper leads with 10th National Assembly, Tinnibu's candidates for APC rebels, Akbabu leads Senate. The writer's there, Abbas Beats Wasejaji, emerges House Speaker, Yari embraces Akbabu after defeat. National Assembly wouldn't be independent presidency hand-picked leaders. That's NNPP and LPC saying National Assembly won't be independent presidency hand-picked leaders. You have the pictures there on the front of the punch newspaper.

That's Donald Trump former president of the United States of America. That's the much I'll be taking from the front page of the punch newspaper. We move to the leadership newspaper and leadership newspaper this morning leads with Asaquavio Abbas take charge. Tenth national assembly vows to tackle economic security challenges. That's from leadership on page seven. You'll see that story and the writers to that story says it will be commonwealth above party. We arrive senate chamber 4 a.m. to prevent 2015 scenario.

The nature news is leading with flights. Air turbulence increasing due to climate change. That's a study that's on page three. Other headlines are environment.

Those are the headlines from nature news. You can read more if you get the newspaper yourself or go to the internet and find out what is really happening. So that's the march we can take from nature news this morning. And we do have a guest who will help us make sense of some of these headlines that we have just read out and he is a legal practitioner here in Lagos state by the name of Tunde Kolaule. Good morning and welcome to the program Tunde. Good morning my brother. Thanks for having me. Okay. It's a very very good day. Hard to be alive. Nigeria has translated into from a civilian government to yet another civilian government and it's been happening like that from 1999. The president was inaugurated or sworn in a few days ago. Yesterday was the turn of the national assembly and the headlines on the punch punch here. The lead headline is that team boost candidate floor candidates floor APC rebels. Acquavio leads senate and we also know that in the house of representatives Abbas is leading the house of reps. So what's your take on what played out and how these people imaged and what you look out for in the tent assembly because of the leadership that we have had. How to impose on them who is going to be that the speaker or the specialist person. So when I read that the thought I consider it to be very tricky from the part of the punch to have come up with that kind of reaction. The social ones you are nicely dependent and the response to this is that both at the federal level or at the national level and in a different state. The second element because have never allowed anyone to be treated importantly. To come up with an independent candidate with the speaker or the specialist person that will lead the independence of the wishes and aspirations of the more common. But the fact is the decision on what we have asked at the national assembly and there has been a lot of difficulty across the tendency of this team a kind of sport that we have. The second one is that when you look at the character of the people you are now going to be the national candidate. And it's not a fact that these are people who need to know the career, who need to know the discipline, but for those who know the way, about who know the way of knowledge. So I take the impression that we are never going to be having a very dynamic and the both national assembly because these two characters are establishment partners. We never like to rock the votes. In fact, this is for me to say I will say it looks like the tone of Bukhanea is not the local, but the national assembly. What do you mean by the return of Bukhanea in the national assembly? We need to understand that. We are going to understand, rather than to say that for example, if you have somebody who is known and associated with Bukhanea, you need to also know somebody who could be said that they are not the career, the corruption of Bukhanea. So if you include a president that says he wants to fight corruption, it's not typical for him to carry people like Papaji and my boss and go on. Will you collect that as a debate? Right. That Mr. Papaji has a private case, a Bombardia private case. So if a man who was inside there in Nekos, flying trade as a lawyer, a man who used to face the other governor and then was in the cabinet of ministers and became a minister and now causes a run in the private case. If I stand up, you have about two because I will commit. One time when you had a nasty death and they had to be taken as laws, they need to pass a regular report that Mr. Papaji has been thrown around, has been thrown as laws in his private case, in his private case. If they are saying it's a business for a private case, that will mean it has more than two. I'm not to show that the work you have done in public offices is sufficient and more to make him be able to report and maintain the Bombardia private case. Okay. I see what you mean now. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So let's move away from that story to another, which is on the leadership newspaper. Marketers moved to NNNPCL Petrol Import Monopoly. Hello. Did you hear me? Should I repeat? No. Where do you see the NNPCL? Okay. Marketers moved to NNNPCL Petrol Import Monopoly. What? Monopoly? Marketers. Yeah. Did he get me? Yeah. The essence of the capitalism is to allow all the people to fly in the air. That is to say, and call it competition. All that NNPCL has been doing in the past is monopoly, which is a political of the capitalism. And that monopoly is they have not survived properly and to the comfort of their business. So I don't remember that NNPCL has also been privatized. They have been privatized and they are now going to start to charge them with the responsibility of so many important Petroleum products into Nigeria. It has not worked and it should not work. Furthermore, if you say you have neglected the Petroleum sector you can also have a so significant impact on the soil. So if the monopoly has been taken away from them I think they are proposing to be done. Furthermore even if we are in politics can bring money to the country can see that the prices of Petroleum products won't come down in the sense that people can go anywhere in the world whether it be Saudi Arabia or Saudi Arabia whether it be Saudi Arabia or not. In short, to pass soil to the country and sell. So that might bring down the price and also make it possible for soil to be available all the time wherever they are needed. But the challenge that this is here in the central bank of Nigeria is not in the position to make something available to all the marketers and my delight that there are lots of delight that are not to bring money to the country then we will be back into Squawan. Squawan as it was in the era of the so monopoly of the monopoly of the MNCC. So honestly speaking the road map and efficient road map for the importation distribution of soil in the country are still not generated are not encountered. We really haven't started this the aim of the earth. So the program of movement will require to sit down and walk out in nutrition food and medicine medicines of the land for ensuring that the children for us are delivered by the country. Okay, the punch and the nation carried the story about from the state how the governor has finally handed over to the deputy governor he has proceeded now on a medical leave that will last one day hopefully. But before now his illness or his health generally was shrouded in secrecy whether he was ill or not whether he was dead or not and now we know that he was definitely ill and how bad it was or it is we do not know but he has been flown out. Now what is your take on the back and forth that was going on in the state now? Governor Acrezozou is a human being like any other he is the father he is a nun and some persons that are elsewhere and in nature so if he is sick he should bother for one round of course so we can baptize him we can and then we are warning for him and we are saying nobody prays to be sick nobody wants to die or it is even applicable that in the course of our lifetime we will take to the sick one at one time or the other and sooner than later all human beings will taste a sort of temperature so to that extent he has my sympathy and I pray for him that he recovers his health his heart is fine and come back to a beautiful home on those days my question now is can you hear me today my question now is that why is it that Nigerian leaders always find it difficult to say or to accept that they are ill we have seen in presidents we have seen in governors we have seen in people who are leading us that they are ill and they need medical attention is there something in the law that establishes that office is there something that we are missing that will make them to think that they are supposed to be super human and are not supposed to be ill we saw in Yara Dua even when he died we were not having the information he has died we saw in Buhari when he is ill they will tell us that he has gone for a meeting he has not existed and all those kind of things now even our president when people say he is ill it is not unusual for someone even at his age to be ill all the time but why do they keep hiding it is there something in the law that we need to know that is a beautiful question let me say it right away that we are in a position and all the things we know about the law is right in a corner and in no position that neither as I tell you earlier might be sick and in my time and that is why you have a position for people like chief police and then for somebody to criticize or to act for the society policies who is the president what you see what you saw here in Nigeria what you saw in that thing what you see they have to make out if their deputies are not the deputies are here they treat them like a a satire what are these things they need for them to go on vacation or to go and see trees and water as well they become appliances and hand over to their deputies and they are not being carried along right from day one for them we are not even know that all those who see are so guilty it's you are playing God when you are a governor you are playing God when you are president so to know hand over to our deputies if somebody are trying to be able to know and see what you've been doing without them they are never comfortable with it the third one is that in this part of the world we are care of our next door neighbor we think that if we hand over to them we may be able to do some other things that to make it impossible for us to be able to return to those of the case and you know sometimes those things are possible even though they are very difficult to do for scientific purposes I remember one of the second republic in the world state one one commissioner of our country one commissioner was removed and replaced by somebody else the first thing that was removed both states that you will see how the minimum of hundred persons is going to occupy that office and function in that office we will not believe that the very day the minimum of hundred commissioners in that office is collapsed inside this country I also remember somewhere around me go there somebody was appointed commissioner the very first day too in the resume of that office he collapsed and died and the president made the state as best possible with dead body that that person was going to occupy the office of the office so these are some of the devices that we see in some of the offices that makes it very uncomfortable for them to be able to hand over to somebody else and don't also forget just like you have ever have said we don't relate most times like to the nice people we are millennia we are three years old we think we cannot be sick we think we cannot die and so because of that we don't plan for tomorrow we don't plan for tomorrow as it does in the area of policies or in the area of policies it's also part of our private life the old man will not want the wife to know the work outside and the abilities they have the old man and wife will not carry their children along in their businesses because they don't want them to know the institution of their businesses so when they are sick for when they die they will just be dying with that so it's a good role in a Nigeria mentality which will make you educate not just the people in the area of policies but also in private life and businesses that they should also make a plan be a plan be a plan be and they should also have a successor plan or a replacement plan or an active plan whatever it is that we find out ourselves the other question you have why do people don't want them to know about their ailments two to three days in that area too so we have three situations in this country before on which somebody will sick or somebody with time and that same person will begin to accumulate they will be able to celebrate which is not right Tunde we really have to we really have to go for three days in the health issues Tunde there are not supposed to be support in the public to me because they are concerned but in the public arena all the health issues they have the society they have the people who are ruling because of political parties when they are not enough to say I have this ailment they could buy they are not going to buy they are not going to buy Tunde Kolaoli thank you so much this is a good place to live thank you so much for your time and insight time will not permit us to go further thank you so much for being there we I have to go to the people who drowned in Kowaristate 103 of them and I can almost say most say confidently that if not all of them, at least 90% of them didn't have life jackets and the kind of accidents that happen and the kind of needless deaths that we face should never be, we should not keep saying it is not our portion like we say in Nigeria, we should do the needful and be cautious about it. May they rest in peace. I hope this will now create more awareness in the States and every other state in the country. Let them pay attention to safety. Safety. We'll be right back with our very first hot topic to stay with us.
