 Just after the economic community of West African states Echoes impose a sanction on Mali for the constitutional takeover of power The region gets heat as military officers in Burkina Faso announce the suspension of the constitution The dissolution of the government, parliament and the closure of the country's border from midnight We take a look at the recent coup in the region Also on the breakfast this morning is members of the organized labor Preparing for nationwide protests this week over the planned field subsidy removal The federal government has suspended a petrol subsidy removal What are the implications of this for the Petroleum Industry Act? And don't forget we also will be looking through today's national dailies Analyzing the biggest stories of the day And of course we have the top trending stories on the program this morning Very good morning to you, welcome to the breakfast and plus TV Africa I am Kofi Bartels And I am Merci Boko, it's a very beautiful Tuesday morning It's good to be back on your screen Fantastic, merci, lots to talk about And we always always will bring listeners the latest news and analysis right here on the breakfast Fantastic day, really really sort of a rollercoaster was happening in Burkina Faso yesterday We will talk about that, it was almost like a movie Starting from Sunday into Sunday night then Monday into Monday evening And what was interesting was that the Burkina Faso national team were also playing At the African Nations Cup I do not know if the mutiny or the protesting soldiers were waiting for the game to end Before announcing the coup But we will look at all that going into the program today Of course top trending stories, let's get into that Kanu government revoking the license of private schools in the entire state That's something that you only hear of in a few states, the entire states, merci And that's because it's as a result of the incident that happened I mean the kid that got killed, very sad Now when I actually read that story, you want to see very sad Those who should be protecting us are the ones taking advantage It was reported allegedly that the proprietor of that school was involved in the kidnap of this young lad And really really sad Well however the issue of jungle justice, because we also saw videos and stories yesterday Where some angry youths and Kanu decided to set the school ablaze And jungle justice has never been a solution to anything We constantly say that as long as two runks can never make a right As long as the people feel very angry and agitated And that's because over time people feel that they have lost trust in the government And they cannot wait for the law to take its course We do not live in a zoo, we live in the country where there are laws and regulations And we have a government and you have an institution that should be responsible for all of these crime and criminalities And should sort out all of the differences That's why we have a government, that's why we have a government And for every time you have people take the laws into their hands It doesn't solve the problem, it just brings us back to a period where it feels like there's no law There's anarchy and all of that But justice for this young lad is what everyone is anticipating and looking forward to I mean, look at the pretty beautiful, wonderful child, five-year-old What sort of human being will kill a child, you know And online throughout the weekend justice for Hanifa was trending No lesser person than the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria I mean Aisha Buhari doesn't say too much, you know, and she had to put out a video From Islamic cleric who was condemning the killing of this girl It's one of those stories that will get a lot of publicity People paint the image of the country bad And it's a call, I'm sure, a time for all the leaders in this country From state governors to senators to, you know, regular people, CSOs and media To condemn these actions This was not the only one that happened Another one to place on Monday in a neighboring state The child was also kidnapped as well So it's brought up the conversation, you know, of the safety of our children When they go to school The man on the left of your screen is the proprietor, I think Tanko is his name, of the School Noble Kids Academy In Nassarwa Local Government Area of Kano State And the girl was a student in the school where he was a proprietor So, I mean, it's unimaginable, unbelievable That the teachers who were meant to protect the girl Were the ones who arranged her abduction And people, you know, commenting as this was trending online Were wondering how they could collect the ransom From the parents of this child Of six million Naira and still kill the child So what happened was that the corporates confessed That when they received the money The girl noticed or realized who Tanko, the school writer was And so he said, this guy has seen who I am I can't allow her because when she goes she's going to report me And he said he now bought 100 Naira poison 100 Naira poison, rat poison Of 100 Naira And then, you know, poisoned the girl And they didn't just do that Oh my God, they buried her in the shallow grave in the school They just buried her in the shallow grave in the school After collecting the money And it's just a heartbreaking episode and sequence of events So the cases, this is really sad I mean, but yet, 1,001 Hanifas are out there And the issue of security constantly has to be, you know, national concern And we always wait for one particular, we always wait for one particular Because we come back, it brings us back to the fact that We need to ensure that there is security I mean, lives and properties are protected And that we do not pamper these peasants and that the law Because what's happening right now And with the fact that you have some angry youths and peasants Setting the school ablaze, that it shows that there's a deficit Trust deficit, they do not believe in the system to bring justice The judicial system, they don't believe in the police force To ensure that justice is actually meted And they have decided to take the laws into their hands But that's not an excuse The general conversation would be that we should ensure that You know, lives and properties are protected If you constantly see, I mean, some people have quarreled How the government, the federal government And the body language of the government in this dispensation Has tackled the issue of insorgences, kidnappers and banditries And that's also, you know, it goes a long way to constantly Encourage this crime and criminalities And those who are perpetrating, I mean, those who are carrying out this crime Those kidnappers, because they know what would the law do What's going on And sometimes you have issues where they are collaboration With security and personnel And it's really, really sad But this is just also a signal I mean, it's okay for you have the governor, the president And everyone talking about it It brings us back to the same conversation that we're having That the protection of lives and properties across the entire federation Should be a priority It shouldn't even be a reminder Because every government should know that That's the first responsibility that they owe So yes, this is one case And up until today, we're still talking about We have all of a sudden forgotten about the issue Now, do we know whether she's alive or not It brings us back to questioning the issue of Safe school initiative But this is not even the case of safe school initiative Because the story about her kidnap That was perpetrated by a proprietor of a school That should protect her You know, cause for a lot of concern Yeah, yeah, so I mean A very important point you've raised about You know, jungle justice And the fact that citizens You know, embark on jungle justice Because they do not trust the system But I think that it's a bit more than that I also think the dynamics of The way people react to things Especially in the northern part of the country May come to play Or the way people react to things in Sort of like semi-urban to rural areas Because Nazarello Cogum area Is definitely not the city capital Sometimes, no matter what you want to do You know, in terms of trust The people will feel so hurt Anger could also be a factor To move people to burn down the school And why would they do that? It could be people Why would they do that? Because if they trust that No, no, no, no It's, yes, yes So to answer your question Anger and just The belief that they just need to do something You understand? Because nothing is going to happen They don't do something Even if the That's how it is Especially in the northern part of the country Even if they know So how complicated Even if they know that The Corporates will face justice They want to show their anger You understand? It's just a way of showing How angry they are And just venting Okay, venting So it's dicey But the thing is this The county state governor Said that He will sign The death warrant You know, the death of order Of these suspects If they have found guilty and caught You know Places the death sentence on them And also the The first lady, Aisha Buhari Has, you know, subtly or indirectly Said that they should be Given the death sentence So obviously you have everyone You know, those in authority Saying that this should go Even President Buhari Said something about it The question now is What is even giving A proprietor of a school Now you're not talking about some random individual That's in one particular space This is a proprietor Of a school A private school for that matter What actually would give him the guts To go ahead to engage In kidnapping a child And getting money for it It is because of how they have seen How the government has responded to the issue Of kidnapping, banditries and all of that If the law has taken its course If people see that people are punished For these crimes, they would take a lesson But because we have been very lackadaisical We haven't put our foot down We haven't been very... We haven't thought about it It doesn't really matter Does a life of any Nigerian really matter A particular incident that is very special To happen and then we begin to react And make it look like we really care Yes indeed, if you look at the comments Because it's a trending story online People are commenting about it Yes indeed, the government Always will be the first person to blame In situations like this But you know When this is really a sick action It's really a criminal And sick action For you to To Kill a child who is a student of your school And kidnap a child first of all And when you kidnap your own student You poison the student And bury that student in the school I think this goes beyond really government You know, you have We have responsibility Sorry, Merci There are certain things a government can do Even where you have the most responsible Countries, for instance You have the Scandinavian countries Norway I think it is Norway Where Andres Brevik Murdered so many people You know, he went into, I think, Senegal Or somewhere And you have Countries that have the best legal systems And the best security systems You always have people doing these things So the thing is this It's unfortunate But I don't think I'll pin this on government No, I'm not pinning this on government I'm saying it, I'm saying it This is coming from As soon as you know we have people who are Who are, you know I know that we have people who are sick Who are criminal and criminally minded And are also sick I know that we have people who are sick And government has never Will never be able to police everyone No, Kofi, you're not getting the point The point is we know that we have people who are sick In your private space We also have a responsibility I mean, how government will be spirits now No, you're not even getting the point This is where I'm coming from We have sick people The point is the people who have seen how government Have treated people who are engaging in these activities Have you seen how we have treated We have the point Because someone feels that you could So at what point did he decide to kill the girl Because he felt like he's collected the ransom He was going to release the girl But at some point he discovered that the girl had noticed So why did he even engage in that Because he felt like this is actually a lucrative business I can engage, I can get out People are getting out, that's a proprietor of a school Because we can get away with all of these things So why don't I get myself involved in it So it goes beyond even the fact that people are sick But when people begin to see that When they commit crimes, their penalties And the government is very stiff And everyone is on top of the issue Then maybe people will become less sick Another aspect of this Is the Of course the cause for Street Justice The cause for You know, for the death Sentence on this The government of Karno state coming up to see I will not hesitate To sign His death warrant if he's convicted It doesn't solve the problem It's a good one, but it doesn't solve the problem The other thing that stands out Is the fact that he has Revoked the licenses of all private schools In Karno state I mean, schools are still in session Right? Yeah, they are still in session And students are preparing Of course you go to school to prepare your exams If The government of Karno state, some people have been asking And I'm looking at some comments If the government of Karno state Has gone ahead to Revoke the licenses of all private schools Because of this Does it mean that the schools Will not be allowed to approach the question people are asking Does it mean that the students Will have to go home And for how long will it take For these schools, all of them To reapply The government has to go and certify the schools Which means the government will go to each school The governor has formed a committee Comprising The ministry of justice in Karno state The department of state services The national security And civil defense called NSCDC And other security agencies I reckon the police will be there As part of this committee to go And re-certify the schools Revalidate these schools And either go into the schools Or they will be sitting somewhere And the officials will ask them some questions But for me, question on my mind Based on what I've seen online is When you're Seizing or revoking the license Of all private schools in the state Effectively rendering All students to be at home Till that is Solved Does that solve any problem? No, it doesn't Members of the committee Go to re-validate Or to re-certify these schools Are they going to be using a scanner To know which teacher Which headmaster has A good heart or a bad heart How will they know Some people are saying this is just The governor trying to do something To make people see that he's working It's probably not the right move Another thing people have pointed out Most of the voices That are coming out condemning this most Are from the northern part of the country And that we have Seen the politicization Or regionalization of tragedy in Nigeria You look at the Sylvester Romani Situation You had people from the Ijo Ethnic nationality Predominantly condemning that But we have to move on to another Another trending story But this is really sad, I understand how you feel Well, I don't feel anyway Just that, you know, government needs to wake up And sort the issue of security Across the entire country Now, Cichl is also on the news And that's because terrorists Because we're talking security I guess, we're just thinking that Everything with a T has to do with terrorists Tourists who have actually visited Have complained especially Nigerians have been subjected To showing the account details I mean being financially capable Of sorting themselves well Because of the country And you want to say Cichl is the country East Africa, a lot of people are saying What's going on? Africa Africa always on top of the story So that happened because There's a tweet Someone took to Twitter to say What am I hearing about? Cichl makes Nigerians Go to ATM to show the balance In their account Before they are letting to the country And if you're from another country You know There's a request that you share your experience A lot of peasants shared their experience From You found that it was not just Nigerians, Kenyans Those from Ghana among others Shared their experience Of how they are being treated when they get to Cichl You need to also know that Cichl Is Is a tourist destination Because they have a lot of natural Reserves, national parks What have you, it's a beautiful place To actually visit To actually question this attitude And even though I know a lot of people want to make it Look like it's about the Nigerian thing But it's not necessarily an Nigerian experience So we have Mochivius On Twitter Who was very, very prominent During the NSAS protests Treating what she says What am I hearing? Cichl makes Nigerians Go to the ATM to show The balance in the bank account Before they are letting to the country That tweet would be a bit Technically wrong If it is done to citizens Of other countries We know how to write a story, a headline Not to give the wrong impression So is this being done to Nigerians Only or is this being done to people From other African countries I'd like to know But that's, I don't think Mo intends To deceive anybody She's just saying what she's had and how she feels But she says if you're from another Country and this happened to you I'd like to share under this thread It would be interesting to see if other nationals Are asking for this as well So obviously she's trying to get information So a very interesting situation We've had other countries as well Ask you to show them Your statement of account If you're applying for a visa But it's quite strange To see that You're asked to go to the ATM To show the balance On your card It's kind of strange If the UK they ask you for your statement of account You have to show it to them And you can also make their checks as well I've seen some interesting comments online One Nigeria commented says Blim Nigeria not Seychelles If home is good Why travel? How many times have you seen Seychelles citizens On your street That's the one comment that I saw And someone says As it stands Seychelles has the highest HDI in Africa This does not come by accident I guess Seychelles is watching out For Seychelles They obviously do not rate Africans Their target is non-African tourists My question is Who watches out for Nigerian Nigerians So these are some of the comments Another person said First, you should know the country Nigeria doesn't command fear any longer This is a tourist point Since the government of Nigeria doesn't respect its citizens What do you expect other countries to do So here we go again Government being blamed for something like this So the point is This is not about Nigerians From the comment that we have seen It cuts across almost every tourist that has visited And then they are being asked to show But is that what should be Should they have a better way Because we've also had reports saying You're being mandated to show some financial survivor Before you're able to get us A tourist destination That's the much we can actually take at this point For top trending Definitely come With more conversations tomorrow As regards top trending When we return we'll head straight to the papers this morning And check out some of the big stories Please stay tuned
