 I'm joining us on the next slide. The co-founder and he's the chair of It Be Gains With You, Mr. Mako Mekadiba. Also joining us as a board member of It Be Gains With You, Dr. Oloomide Efesso, as a politician. You're welcome, gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for having us. Yeah. How is the weather in Canada this time? It's threatening to get cold. Okay. Thank you for making our time to join us from Canada. Now, there has been growing interest of Nigerians outside Nigeria about the situations in Nigeria. Why is it so passionate? Why is It Be Gains With You so passionate about climate? The rural Nigeria and the Nigerian government is playing on climate change, the solutions to climate change, the global warming. Why are you so interested in our role? Yeah, Mekadiba, you can go ahead. I'll let you go ahead. So, your question is why are we interested in... Why are you so passionate about our role in Nigeria, our role in global warming? Well, Nigeria is our fatherland, and it's very, very dear to us. And when we see how things are being done across the world and the Western world, and we've had the opportunity to live, we presently have the opportunity to live in Canada, and we'll see what the government is doing. We're all aware of what's going on in Switzerland, the COP26, and what the world is trying to do with respect to climate change. This is why IBWU started in conjunction with GCI in Nigeria, a program called Cleaner Communities in Nigeria to address some of these climate issues. Okay, that's brilliant. This is a non-profit organization. How do you manage to reward Nigerians? How do you manage to reward Nigerians when they take more seriously which generation and management? I think it's a special idea. And the reality is that regardless of wherever we live, we all have a responsibility to Nigeria. And when you asked the question earlier, those in the diaspora have a core responsibility to give back to Nigeria and be a part of the solution of Nigeria. And part of what we do as ambassadors of Nigeria, so to speak, is not only look out for ways to make things better, but also to sensitize other Nigerians about that responsibility. For example, personally, I did all my university education in Nigeria. And so it's totally out of the question that I would leave Nigeria to be in another country and ignore the needs of my country. So how do we raise funds? We come together as individuals, collectives, and we make personnel donations and effecting programs in Nigeria relating to poverty alleviation and relating to community support and also now the issue of climate change. I remember when I was a young man, my dad used to have a Latin saying, it says, mens sana inkopresano, meaning a sound mind in a sound body. So if you have a sound mind in a sound body, that entity should not live in a dirty environment. So there's an importance about your responsibility to improve the quality of our environment, garbage collection, recycling waste collection. These are basic things that speak to human dignity that should be at the forefront of the things that we do. And part of what we are hoping to do is to raise awareness regarding this reality, build strategic collaborations, individuals corporate entities. For people, when we say it begins with you, that cleaning your environment begins with you. And I love the footage you had earlier that was speaking, different people, people in Adamawa, people talking about unity and all that. This is also something that can unite us, we can unite to clean our communities and make our nation better. Doctor, my next question goes to you before I come back to Michael. Now, clearly the environment, Nigeria is Africa, most of Africa, but I live in Nigeria. And some of us have had the opportunity to leave the country and then come back from time to time, can tell that Nigeria is particularly dirty. Now, we're just trying to play catch up this time. How far can we go? I think we can go as far as we have the will to go. And sometimes we cannot miss out on a sense of urgency regarding some of the things around us. Sense of urgency, yes. In the sense that with innovation, political will, personal responsibility, committee awareness, we actually can go very far. When it comes to, we have garbage collection, waste disposal, recycling. These are basic things that should not be, that are not out of our reach, it's not rocket science. And when you talk about waste to wealth, they're actually very unique things relating to recycling and reusable products that are out there in innovative ways that some people are talking about using, for example, waste as a biomass for fuel, even for electricity. We may not have the highest levels of technology, but definitely we can start somewhere and we can make, we can make our communities cleaner without a doubt. Now, thank you, Dr. Now, Michael, when we talk about waste management, it starts from waste generation sorting. You have, well, in some parts of the world that you have like an orange bag where you have plastics of bottles, and you have a black bag for other things. Now, we don't have that in Nigeria, right? So how can we give the people, our people, the orientation, right, the orientation to imbibe the habitat of sorting? How can we achieve that? Well, thank you, Teru. We, it's a unique, it's like Dr. Yefoso said, these things are not rocket science. Part of what we'll be providing as prototypes will be, again, from recycled products. We're going to be, we're going to have a bin or garbage made from tire. Now, we're going to color them into different, we're going to make them into different colors, green and yellow. Yellow will be for general waste, while green will be for recycle. And so people, and there'll be bags covering these things. The idea is when you go to markets in Nigeria, you look around, you don't see, you don't even see bins. So we hope to show, provide some of these things in these strategic places, work with others in, you know, corporate Nigeria, work with the government, and people will have the opportunity to identify the bins conspicuously placed, and then they'll be able to sort it into general waste or litter and then recycle. Again, it's not rocket science. And I think it's something we can do starting with advocacy, starting with talking about these processes here. And thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to do that today. Gentlemen, gentlemen, I'm going to be very frank with you. It's going to be difficult to achieve in days sitting back in Canada. Do you have representatives in Nigeria? How do you want to give the people orientation? How do you want to sensitize them better? How do you want to go about distributing these colored bags to people, to get them interested in this project? I think I can speak to that. The reality is that the focus of IBW, the core focus, is really about doing good in Nigeria. So we actually have a strong presence in Nigeria. We have our members in Nigeria. We also have strong partners that work with us in Nigeria. So that would not be a problem. The reality is that it is now a process whereby we're starting a conversation, building orientation, and also leading by example. If you imagine human nature as it is, I don't know if it happens to you, but if you go to a place that is very clean, you don't see any litter on the floor. Before you actually decide to drop something of the floor, there's something in your mind that will make you think twice. If you go to a place that's sparkling clean, and of course if you're in a place where there's garbage everywhere, we have people that live in, yes, like you're showing there, who live by refuse bins, and that refuse disposal has become something that we ignore. And I think we have to start from somewhere and hopefully grow a more wholesome attitude and a better behavior when it comes to waste management. Definitely we have to do that. Thank you gentlemen. My last question to you, Michael. So the reward, how do you go about rewarding people? How do they participate and then how do they get the reward? Nigerians can be very skeptical about things like this. When it comes to reward, rewarding exercises or habits like this, they are very skeptical like then they give you the waste, they do all the, they go through the notion and then they can't get their reward. How do you want to go about it? How do you reward people? So like Dr. Yefosha just said, we were heavily present in Nigeria and we work with the Junior Chambers International, Nigeria, a not-for-profit. We're collaborating with the Junior Chambers International and other people, including Ms. Jumoke Oluwokere from Ibadon. We're going to, on our website, www.ibw.org, as well as the JCI, www.jci.jci.ng. Once you go in there, there's the simple instructions on how you can go to a dirty area, clean it up, post the before and after pictures on those links and we'll be having monthly draws to select the best entry for that month. And this will run for 12 months, commencing this November 2021 to October 2022. Everybody will stand a chance to win. We're even looking at obviously the first prize and the second prize and the third prize. It's just simple, simple acts of charity beginning with each of us. This exercise is about cleaning our home and making ourselves whole, cleaning our environment and everybody gets a chance to win and hopefully the conversation then starts about how we can even make it better.
