Well, they should be security It doesn't really respect anyone it got to cross everyone is actually feeling it away from the punch this morning Let's take a look of the Daily Trust newspaper and at the board headline says APC crisis Boone's fate hangs as bellow takes charge Very interesting, and I have Buhari's blessing to act Niger governor's court and and that how governor's plot cool Neck decides on your big governor on Tuesday in presidency in Boone Moom These are riders underneath the board caption and we're talking about the crisis brewing in the APC Sunday, but we freed bad from leaving Benna Republic.

I think that if you look at you know the debt that You have Organizations individuals and what have you corporate boards in Nigeria is a lot It's time that the government puts your act together and begin to mop out You know take out all of the resources because we're at a time where we're lacking Interesting Let's move on to the nation's paper Confucian in a PC over caretaker boss Boone's fate. It's the big one there with a rider Niger governor she who was sunny bellow rather takes over you big governor rushing back from Dubai I don't know if this is a cool data You know and man and way common Kramer was Was was the post in Ghana the man traveled abroad and there's been something different.

Wando Before you give us your thoughts on some of the paid the stories of the headlines and I'm concerned about the fact that the APC crisis is Taking more space on the front page than the young woman who was killed In Lagos is that is that something to be worried about as far as you're concerned? It's also don't forget that When it comes to cast their headlines they have their reasons and you will realize that a story on signing a national party the ruling party Like APC you want to play more dominance than any other story. Yes, the issue of my music is a woman and who story Which has been trending for this very good. See realize that they still have space for it on the front page, but for most Meditals the issue of the political party the APC and the trouble in APC, which is the ruling party in Nigeria Definitely will take a promise because anything that happens if you see happens everyone You and I it affects everybody don't need to be a member Because APC is the ruling party and It's so obvious that just like This seems to have fallen apart in APC and center can no longer hold so I'm not surprised but good enough We still have problem is given to the issue of the young lady who was killed Presumably by some idiots I would call Don't I don't even mind using that word some idiots And you can see all the kind of excuse is being given here and especially the first driver on what happened I'm sure we're going to get to that story. Yes, but you can let us assume straight You know that your thoughts because yesterday the governor of Lagos State, Babajane, Saulo spoke saying The BRG buses are safe. He also said that Lagos State government will guarantee the security of everyone But also said that the Lagos State government will not leave any stone unturned in getting to the bottom of this Of course the driver has been apprehended by the police. What are your thoughts on what's been happening so far regarding this story? Unfortunately today is a intentional women's day and we are talking about ladies women have become in dangerous species wherever they find themselves and You can see that women Pardon my use of language Regarded as weak as sex And for the reason a lot of atrocities Is perpetrated against them even as a choice that they are going to be since that is where children of about five years Rage Idiots you've seen situation where and they also grow up some of them don't have access to education They have seen what happened in National Assembly where five views that are supposed to enhance the life of our women Overboard and under the buzz by some selfish Legislators and the rest of them so and the what is more worrisome to me is that coffee is started with keke We decided not sorry it started with Ocata at the point Ocata was not safe. They moved to keke Didn't get safe again from that they moved to most of this Transport Tieses and wherever they go to power and rest of them now they've moved to be our team What am I saying a sense is that there have been constant is there have been stances where most of these transports Ministers have been used to perpetrate people and that they cannot People or demand them or take it them and the rest of them for but for a post like be our Not to be safe now. What happened to the camera? There are so many questions that needs to be asked if you look at that the interview I was conducted by TVC Driver and see if we don't have to be a lawyer. We don't even need to be a judge You don't need to be this one to know that this guy's like see all the kind of published was talking about The beard gone and the point that my mind was it asked me to open the door I opened the head she had the really not the boss You know in the drug yard and then I zoom I zoom Even as a student of You don't I don't know who's going to represent that kind of a man because there are so many holes in what I said But at the end of it or let me run Okay, let us even assume that they took the lady away when you went to pack the bag Why didn't you report to the authorities? Why did you go to why did you run away so but the issue for me here is that Legos take over need to do more to assure legosians that the BRT buses Which they put down the road as safe for Nigerians because the way it is now a lot of people be so afraid to be able to take those buses Especially when it's nothing to capacity because it's okay And I believe my personal opinion that this is not the first time this young man is doing this He has been doing it and getting away with it. It's just unfortunate that his couple school and this girl But by what about instance it was a good to pass on messages before she was kicked or it's not about this All right, let's take a look at the daily trust news before this morning just beneath it. You have caught Stops Buhari others from tampering with the new electoral act I'm sure that you have been following the story and developing stories regards the fact that the president is concerned about Disenfranchisement of political appointees Yes That's all There's no limit to the power of the Either amends whatever Lord have been passed and signed that if you look at the the business by which The PDG went to court and value I believe is that once the law has been passed and have been signed by the president You only other place where you can seek to dress under that law is the court is the court that would decide whether that's That's not our signage or some session of that wrong contrary to some sessions of Nigerian by that a 1999 constitution and your constitution as amended or any other art of Parliament so The court has them in this wisdom as that every other to be put on hold On signing that amendment as insults after by the president On to the termination of practice and the national assembly cannot anything about that on to that is not an interference So I'm saying it's an interference in the activities of the national is not an interference It is behold within the court the powers of the court to be able to do that to be able to Interpret that law the national assembly have done their own part and have the passage to the president and the president Assigning it if they are supposed to be Don't forget this has come to be recurring And I think it's time we put this to test after the PRD was signed the president also sent it back to the national assembly to amend some session of that PID or BIA as we call it. I think it is higher. We start with stop this Let the court not decide because in session of the law signed by the president I don't feel anybody meaning that you can be with it doesn't have to be You as a person messy can go to court and challenge that session and it's only the court that will determine He can even go from the high court to the court of appeal to the Supreme Court So let's see how this pants out and see what you got to make of it better as we say in this ball as we are sitting on a long All right interesting back to the point you super Chris came they wonder the the legal sports have been have been really on a standstill or lockdown because of a Strike an indefinite strike by clearing agents association Over what they described as frustrations occasioned by the implementation of the e-evaluation system or the vehicle Identification number valuation by the Nigerian custom service. This is crippled activities as a nation sports You know threatening to increase or even increasing actually the cost of importation of vehicles and and of water You know the vessels would have to pay while waiting to be brought Offloaded rather and now we sing in the punch that the Nigerian custom service has bowed to pressure by accession the federal government It's about a pressure to suspend the evaluation of important vehicles for a 31-day period. What are your thoughts on this? For me, there are three levels of when you come up for action It's my personal opinion we take out the police which we have naturally Has been corrupt the next one for me is the NMN MPC The third one is the custom and that has been the non-faceted Personally, that is me and a lot of things are the day we open the satellite on the custom a lot of things But whether the custom has the rights doing what they are doing or not If we you need to go to the port and see the level of corruption We know they go in and out port a lot of things going on There have been instance where you say a hundred percent Inspiration but you come to realize that if you see the money most of this importer speed Interval level of payments you will be shocked by what goes on at the port and that is the situation so if the importers They just are carrying out against the position of some of those ones by a custom They must have a genuine reason if what I need to ask is did come from religions in consultation because before you post anything you must have done your due diligence You have to also be able to consult with The stakeholders then a mutual agreement has to agree but look at it from the point of view is that The custom is so under serious pressure to be able to deliver Don't forget that It's not an idea custom has a target that is worried by the by the federal government on a yearly basis I don't do the Minister of Finance or even if I arrest other likes But I think what we should be doing now is how to be able to digest the pot You need to see how congested our pot and part of the problem also is that we are concentrating so much on the legal sports We have a lot of what we're supposed to have reports in worry or somewhere in Data state. Why are we not using that? That's supposed to be a pot in color Why is it that we are concentrating all our effort in because of and that is where they first of most of the shipping companies Have been complaining that I said some of this she's coming to Nigeria And they will not be able to offload what they brought in for over 30 days at time Go to two months and for every single day they remain on see in Nigerian within Nigerian water They pay Saturday that doesn't happen in across the group So I think we should be looking at ways of the congested the pot rather than just making it is much more difficult good for the importers and also the operators within the Nigerian pot as I said as I mentioned once again, let us stop this concentration of everything in Lagos Let us bring some of this stuff to Worry Even we are On some dry spot. You can remember that some of the state have been Designated for that. So that's the level of corruption going on in the pot Coffee is not something to even talk about. It will take us a whole lot the whole day to discuss that So usually I mean Looking at some of the thoughts that you've put us as regards all of this the fact that you have The concentration of almost everything in Lagos state You begin to wonder if you have governors across the 36 states and what the lawmakers are doing if we say this is politics Then we're expected lawmakers from different constituency and different states will be lobbying and ensuring that you know, all of this works What unfortunately does not what's happening, but let's move away You know from that and look at the issue of renegotiation now the federal government is saying Oh, it's giving a committee three months to renegotiate with us We're talking about agreement from 2009 and from my counting if I'm not mistaken We're looking at 13 years or there about like a decade if I'm not mistaken How do you go back to renegotiate and I mean what happens to an agreement first of all you had an agreement It took 2009. Let's just say we move from 2010 11 12 13 you move on with the numbers and now We're in 2022 and we're talking about this Chris What do you make of this? Is there hope for the educational sector and the Nigerian student? Let me quickly touch on what just That has been known that the port is within the exclusive list Of the constitution that is not in any state. The state can do about You can't take out the fact that you know, we're talking about politics here And it doesn't necessarily mean that lobby because that's what happens. They're lobby for this thing Even if it's within the exclusive list, we're not taking that we're not ruling that fact out But we're saying that you know, we understand the politics that happens and this person should also play to the gallery That is what I'm saying the first and foremost is you have to think out with the constitution Those are the areas where I think the national assembly should have talked of those are the areas I was taking a look at and making sure that most of these things are decentralized the basic laws that I will take Look at the issue of state police. They didn't talk about that Look at the issue of Of the port you are talking about. They didn't talk about that on TV And the same thing with most of the minerals in the state We are the federal government has total control over resources in the states So onto we're able to make sure that the state also Do you know how much across the best it would have been making from calabar ports if that place it is put into place Do you know how much that has to be making from From from that port in worry or wherever it is give that place in putting but that is what I'm saying So it's just from where we continue to make sure that some people are benefiting from this So and that is where I think that something needs to be to keep so we don't need to concentrate on legals Let us The that there was even in on the shot On the shot have a port all we need to do is to judge that on each apart and make it by good So most of this thing that you see for me most of the even the containers coming to Most of them are made for a part so my method on the shot so my method You put them there and we're talking about At the port so that they can move some of these things to give that is not good enough When you can drop something in calabar or in worry and you get to other part of Back to your question on us and I continue to ask are we still talking about us? Well We've talked on this program several times on the issue of our so and the problem as a sister with us And we have always identified the problem is that the problem is that the better argument or not Adhere to the status of the agreement or contra the sign which has an ugly poor organization And you continue to ask yourself what Government is a continue Ministers saying oh the agreement this agreement was not signed by the government of buhari Or we are having issues we are taking money from here Whether is the government of buhari or not government is a continuum If you you don't come you don't take off You don't take off a company and you look at the you leave the the appellate is to take everything So that is what happened and they said they want to renegotiate as we say we are not in negotiations We've negotiated this for a very long time The part is that the federal government should be able to meet as soon demand to a larger state so that the schools have reason And it's not the school. You know, they ask for one month from what I had And then as soon as it is then that uh, this issue of residential won't take place until the middle of the period of what I don't know how to But went to televised the student as a part the government have for the best and interest of students Look at what is happening in uk if we have a university them that is working perfectly Most of those students that you see finding that find yourself trapped in Ukraine Trapped in sumi and most of those a party of Ukraine would have been nigeria universities and have been schooling But what happened now most of them want to make it back to to nigeria and from ukraine. It's so bad So I still believe that The federal government should be able to meet with asu and make sure that all the agreements that are agreed with asu And not only asu that is also with asu and some other Federal unions with the federal government signed Agreement with them and they refuse to increase most of those agreements All right, interesting one. Chris can you wonder let's let's look at another story coming from the punch Um, I love football. I don't know if you love football. Um, but um, I don't feel sorry for you, but as a national fan I know you are chasing. No, I'm a national fan. I'm a national fan. Look at Ah, okay. Yeah, the fourth position now. Don't worry All I can say as a national fan is take heart because I know what you're going through. Okay It's not your point. Don't worry. We'll cut off what you see. I know what you're going through. But anyway, um On another story of interest to me on the front page of the punchy surprise Buhari approves houses for supra-agile's members. This is common After 22 years of winning the afghan nation's cup in 1994 The federal government approving an allocation of 22 houses to the members of the 94 eagles in their various states Thereby fulfilling a pledge met to meet them actually 28 years ago 94. Yeah, 28 years ago Um, but I do remember I think was in 2021 in june 2021 the president also made the same promise To the 1994 eagles. I'm kind of confused as to whether it's just the formal allocation In fulfill of that promise, but um, Buhari wasn't the one who made the promise in 94 But he has come and I think it's been fulfilled your thoughts on this Um, I I certainly have to um give it to the barricade meant they've done a lot with the mimos of this uh, this promises um Kofi in 1994 team is what I call we call the dream team. That is the best team I've ever had You saw what they did apart from winning afghan They also went to the world cup and did very well. It is also within that period that we had the Atlanta team Within that thing 96 also went out on the first good medal for Nigeria for me And let me let let personal note It is not just about buhar. He's a particular person and that person is the the minister of housing Babatunde So and he has done a lot He made sure that most of the promises made by this government and the but that is part of what we are saying Government is a continuum. Most of these people we have promised Kofi, do you also realize that the Quoting neglect team that won the first under 17 or is it under it's under 17 walk up in 1986 in russia And we made promises to them and we didn't fulfill them. It's just to uh, this government also to be able to So I totally commend this government for what they are doing and making sure that some of these players have died Some of them have died as soon they are aware, but I think that their family will benefit from this just be um, I think last I think last a quick one just last day Even the legacy government was able to give a house to someone like a trauma a tumor Who wants a good medal at the at the first me to win a good medal for Nigeria at the Atlanta Olympic Atlanta Olympic So it's a good one for me and I think Yes, yes indeed. Another example. I think joe bonefrey. He came all the way down from the netherlands to collect his house I think western hop too. Yes. Yes one point. Yes indeed and and it's just you know You talked about the uh, uh, the golden neglects The under 16 team the wonderful on the first walk up. I think it says a lot about how we treat how we treat our heroes One that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth till today is the way rashili akini died Is the way rashili akini died and how? um, the entire country and government both in the state and the federally treated that case Not only rashili akini. Even that of mudalawa. You need to go through and see what happened and I'm not This was not a limited to the players. There are some also veteran journalists that is so well in promoting in this Land where to just died two days ago at the age of eight He is somebody that really brought so much passion to the to the Um, uh football broadcast and saw the way he died. There are so many others like that I think we should continue to honor our heroes and it's not just just in the sports even in broadcast coffee By the way, you get oh, you've done so much for Nigeria by what you are doing You'll be able to messy have done so much for Nigeria by what she's been because by what you are doing We're elevating the talk we're elevating Nigeria. We are we are making progressive um analysis on how Nigeria Tomorrow, I don't see why someone like lexie. We say she's minded why she can be honoured for doing the It's not for plus TV. It's not plus TV on the television. What she's doing. She's being patriotic We can see the way the passion with which she discussed Nigeria and and that is what we are talking about So but our colleagues in the media I've always said that in the media in the media where you don't have a A pension sort of Chris K.
