 Alright, thanks for staying with us. World Heart Day is observed on September 29th every year to raise awareness about the cardiovascular disease and promote heart-healthy lifestyle globally. It was established by the World Heart Federation in 1999 and aims to educate people about the risk factors associated with heart disease and the preventive measures they can take. They also encourage collaboration amongst government, healthcare professionals, organizations and individuals to fight against heart disease. It's so interesting, right? The conversation we had this morning. Yeah, today I don't know, it's just this strange feeling in my chest and then sometimes I get it and I get very scared because your heart is literally, if not the most vital, second most vital organ in the body and once it collapses or has any sort of failure, that's it. So I think in Nigeria, I think we're actually better off than most other countries because our diets, our lifestyle and generally our culture promotes healthiness. It's not like a situation where you're consuming so much fat that blocks your arteries and your veins but then you're not doing anything to burn it because even if you eat as much as you want, take all the cholesterol in the world. Once you spend one day hustling on the legal street, everything will almost disappear. So it's, I think for us we're just like blessed naturally. We are, but I think again we're slowly losing that because again if you look at the lifestyle with the advent of what we call importing international kinds of cuisine and international kinds of junk food and all of that, a lot of people are becoming a lot more sedentary. That idea you're talking about, I mean in the years before now, you see a lot of people having to walk miles to their schools, having to walk miles to their farmlands and all of that. We don't have all of those anymore. So yeah, it's true. Our lifestyle would promote healthy living but if you come down urban areas in the country, you see that, you would see that there's a bit of variation now. You see so many sedentary kind of lifestyle. I think for anybody that is watching, please promote health, do something. I mean we started riding a bicycle. I'm so happy doing that with you because, I mean I've not done it in a long time and I realize how much I really missed my bicycle days and all of that. I mean those types of activities does help to pump the blood and keep it flowing. So yeah, I mean it's World Heart Day. If you've not done anything to pump your blood in your hearts today, please try to do something. And the good thing about the internet now, if you just Google like home exercise, you don't even need to go out of your house. There are so many things or is it yoga, so many things you can do that just keeps the blood pumping. So hey, happy World Heart Day and I would say thank you to everyone too that is really doing a lot in contributing to their awareness. I know that Kano Heart Foundation, every year, year on year, for years, they've been consistent because he himself, I remember when I was a child, hearing about history, I had to go through heart surgery and all of that. The governor of Kano. No, no, Kano, the footballer. Okay, okay, yeah. Kano-Wanko, the footballer. Yeah. And I mean, you see, I've come again with my course online on Harvard. One of the biggest hospital success in India, Naranda, I think, Medical City is built on heart health because again, you think we're predisposed, the numbers, they are much more alarming. In a lot of Indians, especially male, they are predisposed to high blood pressure, predisposed to heart attack and all of those things. So heart health is a big issue globally and I'm happy that some people have actually dedicated their life's work in just keeping people alive because once that has stopped pumping, I mean, that's a life that has gone there. So what did you find first in the news? My news for today is going to be taken from Vanguard and the headline says, illegal mining will descend heavily on foreign operators sponsoring banditry, Alaka. So the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alaka, yesterday warned that federal governments will heavily descend on unscrupulous, foreigner operators sponsoring banditry to perpetrate illegal mining. Alaka stated this during a courtesy visit, paid by a delegation of Niger-China Chamber of Mines, led by its national president, Dr. Ulubenga Ajalla, in his office at the ministry's headquarters in Abuja, as contained in a statement signed by the head, press and public relations, Alaba Balogun. He reiterated that the ministry is committed to establishing a multi-agency task force that would put a stop to the activities of illegal miners and their collaborators. Well, illegal mining. I think this is a sort of sensitive topic for me because every time people ask me what I want to do in terms of career, I always talk about mechatronics engineering, but then if you'd ask me what I actually want to do with that degree, parts of it, a huge part of it actually is creating infrastructural facilities that we can use to extract our own natural resources so that we can refine them into what we can use to better the country. So for the fact that there are some people who believe that they have the right to come and to take what they know isn't theirs just because there are no relations in place that would prevent them from doing such is something that's really, really takes me off sometimes because Nigeria is a very diverse country. Everybody knows it. There's no denying it, but I guess the reason why people have felt so natural in taking advantage of it thus far is because we don't have those like I was even telling you earlier today that if we want to stop people from taking things that are not theirs, we could make it very possible. All of those areas, they could be guarded by like security officials with very high powered weapons. So if you know that you don't want to get into their trouble, you don't do those kinds of things. But then I'm happy that the Minister for Solid Minerals is actually taking an active step in our least. Is it taking an active step or just taking tough? I don't know. At this point, I really don't know. Well, let me know. I like your optimism. You're young. The challenge is that some of us have seen so many talk tough and not do nothing, but I get you, right? I get you. We are a blessed country. And again, the reason you have this kind of things happen is because there's a huge gap, right? In which is, you know, the the agencies are supposed to regulate and protect this thing. They are not doing their job. That's why it continues to thrive. But you see, in regard of mining, it's a big deal. It's just like the way they say oil theft, right? It's a big deal. And the truth is, if you really want to stop it, there's an entire value chain that needs to go down. And you'll be shocked that even the security personnel would be that are supposed to be present. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. So I mean, my story is actually very interesting as well. I'm talking tough. Ladikpoh Market has been shut down. It says a closure wave that is sweeping around Lagos. Apparently, Ladikpoh Market, which is the famous, if you don't know Ladikpoh Market, that means you've not bought it to Kumbhoka. Ladikpoh Market is known for to Kumbhospare parts in Lagos has been closed due to environmental offenses. The closure was ordered by Tukumbo Wahab, which is the, what's it called, the State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, in response to a reckless waste disposal on clean premises and non-payment of waste bill. Now, the closure follows O'Imbu. Apparently, O'Imbu Market has been shut down. Alaya Biaba, I think Market, I don't know how to pronounce that, which was sealed by a law mafuling warnings about non-compliance with the State Environmental Protection Laws. The laws emphasize zero tolerance for environmental offenses, such as indiscriminate refuse dumping, willful defacing of the environment, and refusal to pay for waste services. So, I mean, I'm happy that this is happening because honestly speaking, Lagos is an iso. And, you know, beyond even the markets, let's also start to, I mean, we talked about it the other day, can we start to have people stop, like just illicit dumping or refuse, just throwing refuse from your car, you bring down your windows through refuse and all of that. Like, when we start to do that intentionally, you know, I mean, I saw the governor, the other day, went to one of the rail tracks, I'm not sure which area now, and he was shouting on those people, this is not a marketplace, because if you literally check some of, actually I'm on mile 12, if you check those rail tracks, they've been covered by people in the name of traders, right? This is supposed to be, rail tracks are supposed to be functioning for the trains to go through, to transport goods and people, right? But we don't have all of those. So, I think it is, I mean, I like the toughness, but I like when it is more, what is, what is, the language is understood is more of enforcement. So, you guys talked off, but let us enforce it, and I like the fact that they've shut down. Well, about the shutting down, me personally, I've only been to La Dippo market once, and that was when it was me and my dad, and we went to get this, was it ball bearings for the tractor in the farm, and then when I went there, the amount of people that flooded, because we're in the pickle, the amount of people that flooded the truck, trying to sell us different things, I just realized that, because the first thing I even noticed in the La Dippo market wasn't the waste, that is the reason for them shutting down, apparently. The first thing I noticed was the over the people, and then what I realized is that if you just, as a government, decide to take decisive actions to shut places like this down, places that, whether we choose to admit it or not, are economic centers for people, particularly the lower class of people in Nigeria. We would, we would sort of, we will create an imbalance that will cause a ripple effect. So now that they have shut down this market, shut down that market, shut down this other market, the thousands of thousands of people that live off that market every single day, automatically they have nothing to do. And then it's said, an idle hand is the devil's workshop, so now if they begin to start doing things in the name of lack of employment, that we wouldn't find fancy or we wouldn't want to have within our immediate environment, all these societal versus whatnot, then we can't particularly blame them, but then again, then again, it's not their fault because they don't have any alternative. If they have shut these guys down, and let's say after shutting down the marketplace, they have already built somewhere where they can literally just move their stock or whatever to, they could go to continue. So I get you, and you have a very valid point, this is, this shutting down is not so much of, it's just non-compliance. So if I've sent you a letter, and I say this place is there to fix it, I've sent you several warnings, I've sent you everything, you know, last last resort. So for them to have gotten to this plate, this stage, it means that this is the last resort, so I don't know. But we live it for the government, we live it for the government. I get your point, it's actually a very valid point because you don't want to get a lot of people out of, you know, their day to end. These people actually earn on a daily basis, which guarantees food on the table. I get you. That's a downer. I'll take a break. When we come back from the break, let's discuss digital education. Stay with us.
