 All right, you are still watching Waze now on the 24th of October each year is the International United Nations Day. This followed a declaration by the United Nations General Assembly in 1947, which designated on the 4th of October the anniversary of Chatter of the United Nations. As United Nations Day, by proclaiming that the day will be instrumental in making people aware and it shall be devoted in making known to the people of the world, the aims and the achievements of the United Nations and to gain their support for its work. Now by further resolution that of the United Nations Resolution 278 to adopted in 1971 by the United Nations General Assembly, it was declared that the United Nations Day would henceforth be celebrated as an international holiday and it was recommended that it will be maintained as a public holiday by all United Nations member states. The event is instituted by primarily to disseminate to people worldwide the aims and the accomplishment of the United Nations organization. I mean anybody that knows what is happening in the world, there is absolutely no part of the world, rural communities everywhere, that you would not find the mark of the work that the UN is doing. So I mean it's no, it's a no brainer that they should have a holiday to celebrate the great work they're doing, continue to project and it's important again, I mean for awareness so that people can then contribute, right, because again it takes money to do some of these things, right, so if they dedicate a special day to say okay you know what this is what we're doing, come see what we're doing, of course more people would come into the space and say you know what, I think I like what we're doing and I want to also be part of it, yeah, so that is that, so I think I'm talking too fast, am I? Alright, so what did you find first in the news? Okay, in the news today, it's about this Okada ban and now I read that there's a union right for the motorcycle riders association and they have decided that in the FCT, but they are starting in the FCT, they're going to issue digital identification to the Okada riders so as to help to curb criminality amongst them and I thought to myself okay is this really going to, would it work? How many of these guys do you want to start giving? How do you intend to you know ensure that every Okada rider has a digital means of identification? I'm not sure how the intent to go about this although I'm very curious I want to see why or how they intend to you know pull this through or make sure this happens maybe they can start off in the FCT but then in Lagos I don't think the guys that live in all of all of these slums would come out and decide to you know get registered to the point of getting a digital means of identification and then you say so what happens to details and details when it's out to stop them what are the details asking for what it's a whole lot of that is intertwined in this but then let's see what they come up with and how they intend to pull off this new regulation. We don't have a choice really honestly we don't have a choice and so when I hear digital identification whatever happened to us making sure that we had NIN before our phone number so I mean we already have an identification if you have an active phone line that is working it means that you're already in the system right I mean most people that could not use their phones they had to go and get the NIN for them to be able to activate their phone so I mean if Nigeria is really serious about collecting data and trying to now document every citizen it's easy but you see these are the problems and this is what I really want to discuss when we're talking about the northern impact right because again some of these numbers are exaggerated because if you really are sure that we have these numbers why are you not you know properly what's it called doing your sensors let's have the actual numbers of the people that we say we have right but they will not do all of these things because again you know these are tools in the hands of politicians to just continue to inflate things but I want to quickly take money story because I found it really interesting and I don't want us to lose that story so the reverse state tax force on flood management said it has an intensified efforts to evacuate persons trapped in some rural communities as the ravaging flows enters its fourth week and the tax force chairman Dr. George Uyake said that this in the Aho Ada right Aho Ada is local government area of the state while distributing more supplies of foodstuff and other relief materials now this he reiterated that the government committed is committed rather to taking away the hardship brought by the natural disaster stressing that tax force was already working on the post flood program according to him let me quote him he says I want to assure the public that we will continue to do this and we'll assure you that those trapped in various communities will be rescued and moved to higher ground I really would love to talk about this more but I mean I've penned down the topic for tomorrow because I feel like it is important when I saw that video I said how reckless can somebody be I mean these are the things that so there's a part of government is a part of citizen so we need to start to also talk to ourselves especially when we hear the cases of all this flooding thing but I'm happy that they are trying they are attempting to get the people out but we are hoping that you know no more lives are lost I mean my father called me yesterday I mean out of the blue because usually he's not always worried about things right just a word please I want to be sure that your area I hope there's no flood that the stories is hearing in the news that is giving is getting me a bit worried I said no daddy we're fine you know I mean he called yesterday just to check up on me to say I hope no flood in our area and all of that because he's actually very worrisome right what is going on and it's seeming like nobody even cares everybody's just going about their normal lives nothing we're just going about our normal lives like it's nothing alright so my story is actually somewhat tied to what we're talking about that was why I particularly took this story let me see if I can pull out the link because now what's our DFS Toskey Amos said about the north supporting Buhari that he's very very positive right that the north will work for to know because he's a spokesperson of the presidential flag bearer of the APC that's Bola made to know so he says there's a particular part that I want to just quickly read from this story right someone said very he's taken over that chemo says nothing God knows are trustworthy someone said he should you should add the on the prefix yes on trust 20 yeah that lady is that so what makes you think this was a question I was posed to him what makes you think that the north will dump a northern and like a tickle for tinnable is it for the second time in Nigeria's history we'll see our brothers fidelity and trustworthy net in in the north they have shown it in the case of MK or Biola did you remember that a biola defeated at Tofa in Kano who were the forces that worked against him at that time this this same as you was a member of the then SDP and they were the same people who worked for the a biola ticket now the second now the second and most important thing I want you to know is that we have two major factors to put on the table the first one is the commitment of the governors who control the north in us as we have 14 out of 19 governors if I'm correct now the only ones we don't have control over our terabba bainway so koto bouchie and a demo now we have committed we have commitment of our governors who said the ticket should be returned back to the south they took this decision at the time when they could have taken the ticket on the platter of gold their reaction was swift because they wanted to reunite the country so the fact second factor is a big masquerade president Buhari who will take Ashwajib's hand to say this is the anointed one does Buhari look like a dubious man that's the question is that he's a soldier and a campaign chairman for the APC those are the factors we are campaigning and banking on so on that note first of cameo I say good luck to you we're gonna break now when we come back from the break we'll have our conversations around the northern relevance in the Nigerian political terrain stay with us we'll be right back
