The antidote to the perfectionism of your content and any anxiety in publishing your content. That's what we're gonna talk about in this video today. So here is a strangely calming truth that sounds kind of harsh, but let me explain why it's actually a wonderful thing. Nobody is going to remember your content, any of it, except the stuff that is the best. Look at musicians, think about your favorite musician or any musician. You only remember, guess what? Their best hits, their most popular songs. It's all you remember. Think about authors. Well, what you don't know about many authors is that they've written other books besides the ones that you remember. And sometimes all you remember or all anyone remembers is a couple of quotes from them. None of their other, all their other mediocre books, all the other mediocre chapters just disappeared into history, obscurity, okay? Same thing with social media, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, you name it. When you go to the newsfeed, you only see the best stuff, the stuff that by best, I mean, and here's another very important point, you don't get to determine what is your best stuff when it comes to publishing content. Yes, you can determine on your own. Oh, no, this is my favorite of my books. This is my favorite of my articles. This is my favorite of my courses or videos or whatever. But when it comes to publishing and putting it online and putting it out there in the world, you don't get to determine what is the best. Your audience will tell you what is the best. So when your audience tells you what's the best, that's the only stuff they're gonna remember. They don't remember any of your other content. They don't remember your mediocre posts. One more example, I have made well over a thousand of these videos now, some of them original earlier days, I was walking my dog and making my videos outside, but for the past probably at least 100 videos, I've made them inside here. It's more convenient for me and I get to, I don't have to worry about the wind and all that stuff and I could kind of talk to you at length. You don't remember any of my videos, right? Except for maybe like one or two that really stuck with you because the message was very much what you needed, but you don't remember the rest. I have written over a thousand articles in the early days I was writing them, fairly short articles attached to my videos in my Facebook group and then, but for the past couple of hundred, the couple of hundred I think it's been on my blog, or first on medium.com then my blog anyway. There's a lot on my blog anyway already. You don't remember any of my articles, except for any one, maybe one if I'm lucky that really stood out, some concept that really stood out to you. I have lots of lots of mediocre articles. I have lots of bad videos. Maybe this one is gonna be a bad video, I don't know. Maybe this one go into obscurity. I, it doesn't matter. So therefore knowing that only our best hits will be remembered and our mistakes, our mist takes are gonna just disappear into obscurity. How does that make you feel? Now, some people might say, well, George, if I haven't had a best hit yet, if I haven't had anything that other people remember, well, here's the thing, by default, people only remember what has stood out to them about you. Now, maybe up to this point, you're worried that it's something bad that stood out to them about you and that may or may not be the case, but the antidote is to keep creating and publishing.  And that now that article or video you've made will now be what they remember you by, truly. The idea in the article or the way you came across in video or whatever, the thing that really, because no one is gonna remember something that is annoying about you or something that no one's gonna remember that. They have the very next thing, if they don't like, here's the thing, if they didn't like your video or they don't like your article, there is a very next thing they're gonna watch. They're just gonna keep scrolling and they're gonna find something else that they're gonna enjoy and they're gonna, that's how it works.  They're not gonna remember that you said a wrong fact. Right? And I apologize for bringing this example in, right? Even Donald Trump, okay? Even Donald Trump, who has said all kinds of despicable things on Twitter and all kinds of wrong things. There's like, it's kind of popular these days. Something Donald Trump criticizes or something he says or I don't know, and then someone brings a tweet from 2015 that he wrote that was criticizing President Obama. It's like everything he's criticizing, he has criticized about the president before that he could be criticizing about himself. Anyway, it's kind of that kind of thing or something he says one thing, you could find a tweet years and years ago where he said the complete opposite thing. But guess what?  But yeah, only the people who don't like him remember these things, but guess what? He has hundreds of millions of people who adore him, adore him, vote for him, campaign for him, whatever. It doesn't matter people. I know that might be a horrible example to bring on, but I like to bring him as an example because he's like, you'll never be like Donald Trump, right? You'll never be that, right? You'll never have as many mistakes that you said, as many things that people can attack you on the horrible, ugly things, right? You'll never have that or pick whatever politician that you just think as the most horrible person.  I think I have a bit more balance view of Donald Trump than probably most of you do. I, of course, I would never vote for him, but some of you are like completely, which you need to look at too.  So that's not a good thing either, right? So I have a very balance. You gotta really care about him. I think he's, I use him as an example here and there as like, even him, right? Even he has millions more adoring fans than you. So what's the difference here? Not that you should emulate what he does, what I'm saying is you're afraid of your mistakes. Are you, are you kidding me? You're afraid of your wrong facts.  What about Donald Trump? Oh my God. You'll never, you'll, you'll, no matter how much you try to offend, you'll never get to his level of having offended so many people. So what are you afraid of, right? It's like, and here's the other thing is this. The more you are passionately stating your opinion, the more fans you're gonna have. The more you're gonna have a business. Do you want fans? Do you want a business? Be passionately yourself. State your opinions. No matter how wrong someone can prove you the very next minute to be, like Donald Trump. He says something immediately, Wikipedia can prove him wrong.  It's like people can prove him wrong. It's not about facts. Yes, there are facts. There are reality. That's what I'm saying. But when it comes to marketing, when it comes to personal brand building, when it comes to building your business, it's less about facts and it's more about your passionate sharing of what you believe to be true. Alternative facts. Now again, this is what I'm saying might be offending some of you, but I don't care, right? Because that's what I've learned. It's not like, of course I care about facts. Of course I care about reality and the scientific method and the scientifically proven things, but what I care about more than facts in Wikipedia and what's provable science, what I care about more is your experience. That's what I care about. I care about you sharing your experience passionately. What I care about you sharing what you have seen to be the truth, what you understand to be the truth based on your experience, based on your experience with other people, based on your own research, whatever it may be, don't worry if somebody else will prove you wrong or say you're wrong. Who the F cares, okay? If you're caring about that, you're forgetting that you will go into obscurity. No one will care about you if you're always checking the facts and like, oh, I'm so afraid if I publish this might be wrong, maybe the next day I'll change my mind. I change my mind all the time. I change my mind in the same video just like Donald Trump changes his mind in the same tweet. I change my mind in the same dang video, okay? I was like, wait, I said something wrong. I do this all the time and yet you're still here because you trust me to say what I believe is true now. And of course, I'm more reality based than Donald Trump, hopefully. But you see what I mean? You gotta stop being afraid of just showing up as who you are, passionately saying whatever you believe to be true in this very moment, even if you believe something different the very next second. Say what is true now. Say what is true now, okay? Publish what is true right now. This year, what's true, right? If you're publishing a book, publish it. Publish it because next year you can publish something that says, I was wrong, I now believe this. It's fine because people will only remember your best hits. People will only remember the things that actually made a difference for them. Be bold enough to be wrong later.  Are you bold enough to be wrong now? I'm bold enough to be wrong right now, okay? Because I know that if I am willing to show up authentically, a couple of things happen. One, it gives you permission to show up authentically. So when you show up authentically it gives permission to other people to say, you know what, I'm gonna share my truth too. So no matter what you're already making the world a better place because more people are then able to say, you know what, I'm gonna share my truth. I'm gonna share what I believe to be true, what I've seen to be true from my experience, research, whatever, whatever, okay? When you show up authentically, okay? You get the respect of your audience. Say, you know what? She or he is willing to say what they think is true right now without apologies, without caring if there's a mistake or not. Yes, of course, do this grammar check through the typo check, but even then, even then I think some of you are too hung up on grammar. I don't use Grammarly. I don't care about grammar. Oh my God, really? How can you publish without grammar check? I care more how something sounds to me. I care more about that. I care more about the impact of how something sounds than whether it's correct grammar. Typos, that's easy. Spelling can be checked and obviously you need to spell words correctly. Okay, that's easy. But some of you are too concerned about grammar or about punctuation or about the rightness of how you're showing up. And that's what I'm trying to tell you is you're blocking yourself from building a real audience, a loyal audience and a business that can be your authentic business. Your authentic business is where you can show up as your best and most authentic self. And I should, when I say best, I mean the best is what you're always working towards. You're always working toward what is your higher self? What is your most virtuous self? What is your most true as deepest self? Okay, that's what we're always working toward. But don't wait until you get there because you'll never get there. That is, it's a journey. It's forever, not this lifetime you won't get there. So let's talk about this logically. Because you will never get to your highest self. Because you will never get to your best self in this lifetime, it is impossible. You, therefore logically, you only can show up as who you are now. That is your best self right now. If you show up as in the spirit of whatever love you can muster, whatever love you can muster, whatever love for the truth you can muster, whatever love for your experience you can muster, whatever love for the audience you can muster, show up as that right now. I did 30 seconds of energy reboot, that's it. Of course I could say, well I could meditate for the rest of the day so I can muster up my best self before I make the video for you. BS, I'm just gonna do 30 seconds and I'm gonna be here. Because otherwise I'll never show up as, I'll never have time to do anything if I'm meditating for, you know, you're going for a two hour hike before I feel like I'm ready. No, stop it, stop it. Just meditate for 30 seconds and then show up now. That's it. And then if you show up strongly, boldly, that's the part I like about Donald Trump.  And I don't think that's psychologically healthy. I think we should be balanced. Nobody is 100% wrong. We can learn from everybody. We can learn from Hitler now. I know, I know, I know that's a historical figure all of us can hate on forever. Obviously he killed six, seven million people. Nobody says that's a good thing. But what I'm saying, Donald Trump, he hasn't killed seven million people yet. We can learn something from him. You know, he's always praising the dictators, right? Oh, that dictator is strong, bold. We can learn something from that. We can learn something from that. We don't have to be him, but we can, nobody has 100% un-virtue, not un-virtue. Nobody is 100% wrong. Everybody has something you can learn from. I'm fascinated by Donald Trump because obviously he has a lot of power. So he must be doing something right because he has hundreds of millions of people adoring him.  If that's true, you don't have the reality either. You're in your bubble. You're in your liberal bubble, okay?  I've known several Trump voters in my life. They're caring people, they care about their community. They love their families and they're some of the most caring people that I know, in fact, but they just happen to love Trump, okay? All right, we could disagree on policy. We could disagree on certain things about guns or immigrants or we can disagree on that. But they're not, so you see what I mean? We're gonna learn from everybody. I learned from Donald Trump, you know what? Be bold, be strong, you know? But what we can learn about him that we can be better is we can be a little bit more connected to the truth. We could be more connected to reality. We could be more humble, we can be more loving. We could be more inclusive of others. Do you see what I mean? So I probably completely muddied to this video by bringing his name in and, you know, but see what I mean is maybe this video will go into obscurity. Hey, I don't care. See, that's what I'm trying to kind of get across here that I'm trying to maybe even model for you.  So that you can see that I'm still alive, that I still have a thriving business. My business is thriving more today than ever before with all my mistakes, with all my unpolished videos, with all my grammatically incorrect articles, I have typos all the time. You know, my books have typos in them. My books, the published books have typos in them. I'm still here. I'm still alive. I'm still publishing. I have a thriving business. Do you want that? Do you want a thriving authentic business or do you want to be perfect? Do you want to keep stumbling over disillusion of perfectionism? You have a choice.  I'm not going to publish until this thing is perfect and has had a hundred editors on it, or even 10, or even five. I'm gonna have two editors, volunteer editors, volunteer editors for my next book. You see what I mean? Are you gonna, you want an authentic thriving business where you make plenty of money for showing up authentically with your truth right now, the best that you can, what you know, or do you want to try to be perfect? That's, you have a choice. If you are trying to be perfect, you will struggle, you will have anxiety, you will have discouragement because the things you put out there won't have as much response as you hoped. You'll have so much negative emotions in your rest of your life. You have a choice. You can have positive emotions, okay, of authenticity and joyous playfulness, lightheartedness. I'm very lighthearted about all this because I know that this doesn't, if this is not a good video, it doesn't matter because it's gonna go into obscurity. Yeah, maybe 300 people will watch it. Oh my God, 300 people watching might me make mistakes on video, on camera.  And you might even see something that I do that you do like until then. So that's, everything is just momentary. There's nothing that's fixed. Stop worrying about this stuff, okay? So I hope this is encouraging for you a little bit of a rant today. And let me just go and take a look to see if anybody had any comments for me. If you, I'm always open and welcoming of your comments and your questions and your reflections and your reactions. I'm really, really happy to see them. So go ahead and put your reactions and comments below. And I'm gonna go ahead and see what are the comments here. Thanks to, thanks for joining me. Lisa, Aida, Steven, Mary, Dorota. Let's see, Kim, Paulo, Michelle, Indra. Thank you all for joining me live. Okay. Yeah, Mary, thanks for your comments. This is like, I've been, I've been working with doing things before I'm ready. So Mary has been experimenting with this. Absolutely. Go for it. No one will remember any of your mistakes. That is the core shift for me that happened some time ago. Maybe, I don't know, it was five or six years ago. No one will remember my mistakes. That's amazing. Or no one will really care.  And the fans, my true fans won't care about my mistakes. It will overlook them for whatever reason they overlook them. Okay, so will your true fans. Then you can only grow your true fans by being willing to make mistakes on camera or on article or in a course or whatever, on a book.  And then the people who are not meant for you, yeah, they might remember how annoying you are or how annoying I am or whatever the grammatical typos they saw, they're not meant for you. If they saw that and they're going away, they're not meant for you. Let them go, let them be for other people. You don't have to gather the whole world. Why are you so greedy, right? I'm joking here, none of us. But it's like, why do we have to be so greedy and says, I have to have everybody like me? Think of it as greed. That's because attention is so valuable these days. Or I should say, attention has always been valuable. But the amount of content is so, think about all the people who also want attention on them, okay? Why do you have to have everybody's attention? No, so ironically, I'm actually actively trying to push some of you away.  Isn't that amazing? And again, dare I bring that guy's 45 in, okay? Trump actually tries to push people away who are not meant for him and he will turn on the people who are meant for him. Again, you can call him racist. You know, I agree with you, whatever. But what I'm saying is, I keep thinking. I'm trying to, please tell me another example that is less offensive than Trump. I will use that example from now on. But of course he's in the news, right? I mean, isn't that amazing? Like the more we hate him, the more he's in the news, the more he influences all of us, the more he has all of our attention. It's like, it's better not to, it's better to pay not, like what he wants the least is people to ignore him. That's like his worst nightmare. Like the people, like the more you hate on him, the more he loves it because the more he, the attention he gets, right? So that's the irony of it. So no one will remember your mistakes.  They will go away, will allow them to give their precious attention to somebody else. And the other thing that is bigger about all of life that we can look at this from a higher perspective is that I believe anyway, that this life is just one second in the eternity of your soul. The universe is how many billions of years? Is it 13, 14 billion years old? I don't know. I forget the universe is how 13 billion years. Your soul is going to live longer than 13 billion years because it's eternal. So your life of 80 to 120 years is like one second. If you look at, you know, an entire year, let's say an entire year has how many seconds? Well, your earthly life is like one second in an entire year. So even this life doesn't really matter that much. So even the mistakes you make in this life, you're forgiven. That's why you're forgiven.  So why are we afraid of saying the wrong thing on camera? Being the wrong way on camera or saying the wrong thing on articles, right? It's okay. So I hope this is encouraging for you. Thanks also to Megan and Lily. Yeah, Lily says less than one second, we are dust. Yeah, so don't worry so much. While you're here, play. That's really the core message of this video. Play while you're here, play. Play with your, play with what is true for you.  Those are your true fans and that's how you build an authentic business. So thanks all for your, Lily says makes business much more exciting to not tiptoe around. Yes, yes, amen to that, right? So thank you Dorota for your comment to say I had to chuckle. She said, I had to chuckle when you said people wanna do a two hour hike before doing any piece of work. Yeah, I had gotten lost on this path in the past and they'd wanna do longer, longer prep. So yes, we can prep in 30 seconds. That's my challenge for all of you. I just spoke with, I don't think she'll mind me saying this. I spoke with Felicity earlier and she says, I really like your concept of short moments because that's all we really need. We don't need to focus on our weaknesses. We don't need to focus on our bad stuff on that. We just need that short moment of focusing on a higher perspective and everything goes away. We are here in this moment. Do that 30 seconds of energy reboot and show up on camera or in your writing, you're ready. You're ready. Okay, all right. That's all. Don't wanna keep it too long. I wish you well.   So show up. All right, talk to you later.


St. Dusha's Goodwill Ambassador program continues to yield benefits on several levels. As school resumed this week, students of the Blusha Combined School were greeted by an eye-catching mural of the solar system, thanks to a project spearheaded by the charity organisation of Goodwill Ambassador Her Excellency Claudia Edward Ladner. Jesse Leos spoke to her and filed this report. Outdoor learning is increasingly becoming a preferred solution for many schools that have reopened their compounds during the pandemic. Charity organisation Edward for Education responded favourably to a request of the Blusha Combined School principal who wanted to achieve just that. Her vision included appealing murals and other paintings on outside spaces of the school that would cater to the educational needs of the students while adhering to COVID-19 protocols. Edward for Education's decade-long streak of auspicious interventions at schools island-wide would continue now during the pandemic. National Goodwill Ambassador and founder of the charity is her Excellency Claudia Edward Ladner. Well, we had a lot of proposals for school projects and we were thinking with COVID-19 and the social distancing. Some of these projects did not make sense for us to approach them at this time. When we got the call from the Blusha Combined School the principal, she said to us, we have a proposal that will enable our kids to learn on the outside of the classroom which works perfectly with the social distancing and all of that. Getting this project together was by far one of the easiest projects I've put together and in a timely fashion as well. Most prominent among the artwork created at the Blusha Combined School is the Solar System Mural for Science Lessons. Najia Simian of Saki Productions most noted for the St. Lucia mural at Point Seraphine painted this solar system mural free of charge. I've selected this huge wall. You walk up the stairs, you get this wall so it's like you're walking into the universe. Yes. An earth is right there in the middle and when you see the image you'll see the sun is in the center and it's actually painted on top of a light fixture so when the light comes on the sun goes. Everything lights up. It's just a beautiful concept but I wanted the children to walk into the solar system and now they can look at not just the earth but the entire universe and beyond. After weeks of planning with Edward for Education, sponsors Saki Productions and Harris Paints, Principal Mural Emmanuel was most satisfied with the final product completed in time to welcome her students back to school for the third term. Quickly. Everyone loves it. We are very excited. The students were very excited and they came in on Monday morning and saw the mural on the wall for the first time. We were very, very excited. Parents are very pleased to see those kinds of things happening at the school. So on behalf of the Blusha Combined School family, I wanted to thank Edward for his participation, Saki Productions and Harris Paints for helping us see this project. Other projects of the Edward for Education charity over the years include construction of a sick bay for the Corinth Secondary School, Theatre Arts Room for the Cicero Secondary School and Learning Center for the Ave Maria Girls Primary School. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leance reporting.

Welcome back to the breakfast and plus TV Africa time for the press as always we'll take you through the pages of a national dailies we have G.D. Johnson who is in standby. Good morning G.D. Johnson. Well as soon as we're able to establish connection with G.D. Johnson we definitely have him share his thought on some of the national issues that we have on the front bone. I like to set up with a daily trust newspaper this morning and the attention will be on the top caption. Looking at the front page it says Ukraine crisis. 12,000 students or the Nigerians trapped. That's what's boldly written on the daily trust newspaper. We're leaving in fear. Students quoted to say parents are worried. Federal government arranged special flights operation for evacuation. Investigation link please military and personnel terrorism financing according to Governor Errol Fai and fuel price high glumes as marketers kick against five million Naira shipment charge. Electoral Act. Four ministers MDAs heads to resign over 2023 and you also have experienced people academics needed for governance. That's what the president is quoted to say an NCAA petitioned as a piece disrespect the Emmy of Canyon. That newborn found with a madman in Biosur. These are the headlines on the daily trust newspaper this morning. And straight to the leadership newspaper of these headlines the big one there APC national chairmanship. Aspirants reject Adamu as consensus candidates say election process amounts of imposition. No need for such a to know I fit the bill. No one has been anointed Mustafa and it's who urges party stakeholders to intervene. And also the paper is not left out of the coverage of the Russia Ukraine crisis. But this headline Russia risks harsher sanctions over Ukraine attack. Leadership makes North and professionals calendar event wise and for our governors no governor sacrificed deputy go so and stakeholders warned against scrapping of police trust fund. Those are the headlines on front page of the leadership on Friday. Away from the leadership newspaper. We look at the punch. The punch says Russia Ukraine were stranded Nigerians send SOS to Buhari demand evacuation. Federal government fails to provide timeline for evacuation as Ukraine shots as space as but slam government for delay as Nigerians invaded. Nation rides Buhari and APC discoursing zoning presidency to South says Arufai.  Athenifer is quoted. I remember a time where I had a colleague who said the president you know if you go to the FCT I mean the roads are just very smooth and you know pie situation might not just necessary be the problem. And the president might not be able to relate with the issues that are the pads of the countries faced with. However, that's on the other side. Bring back Nigerians in Ukraine reps tells the president or you may produce APC national secretary governor's planning meeting and you also have narrow losers 10.6% to value annually say is the IMF and legislative aid accused national assembly management of diverting 25 billionaire and few short-shortage pilots error cost of baby fatale helicopter crash. That's according to report for the one of time. We just quickly move away from the punch. Let's take stories on the front page of headlines on the front page of the nation newspaper this morning. The big one there lawmakers seek power to invite president governors. Constitution review proposal gets a set tough conditions for independent candidacy party registration. Interesting one to see and to follow with the ongoing constitution review going on at the national assembly. Why petrol scarcity persists by eight man. Seven SCN 16 others applied to be supreme court justices details on page two of the nation newspaper and tin will visits only gets blessings. Two policemen, five others killed in multiple attacks on banks release out one there. L5 resources in terrorist hands can subvert Nigeria. L5 resources in terrorist hands can subvert Nigeria. Almakura to others reject APC zoning consensus plans. Party picks zonal congress panels and and those are the headlines on the front page of the nation newspaper. Let's now welcome the chief lecturer of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism. Judy Johnson is our guest analyst on of the press this morning. Mr. Johnson thanks for joining us. Let's quickly look at the the one the big one on the front page of the nation newspaper the ongoing review or yes a review of third report brought by the the committees relevant committees at the national assembly with the ongoing national the constitution review. Before this we had the zonal and the states you know public hearings. What's your take on the process so far and some of the the changes that are being are being muted. For me fundamentally constitutionally and as required by the principle of suppression of power guided by checks and balances there's no basis for us not to have in the constitution the legislature not having the power to invite the president to come and explain. I recall when the amendment was made in the 7th the proposal was made around the 7th or 8th that the president should there should be a state of the nation address. Wherever the president will annually come to the national assembly and make a presentation on the state of the nation just like you have in United States of America where the president goes to the Congress to deliver an address annually and some people said it was not necessary it is important what platform do we have that brings an interface between the legislature and the executive in explaining what the president intends to do and what he has done beyond bringing the annual appropriation bill presentation before national assembly for deliberation and and passage into the appropriation act. So as far as I'm concerned these amendments are important we need to look at what are the loopholes that we have in the existing document the 1999 constitution has amended which gave too much power to the president in actual sense it makes the president to become an MPRO because this constitution was the product of the 1995 constitution that was meant to perpetuate Abacha in power forever so I hope the national assembly have the resources to go ahead full throttle on these various amendments because once they put this amendment in place and then they turn into a bill now we'll be begging the president to sign that would have the gunshot to ensure that two-third of them overrides the president and battles the president is signing this into law those are the things we'll be we'll be looking out we'll be looking out for and we're looking forward to with respect to these various amendment on the issue of having picking justices from from the bar and not only the benches justice of the Supreme Court I think it's it's a welcome development that you see people that have equipped themselves in private practice even in academia can come to the Supreme Court justices without any political interference in terms of being politically influenced in the career development in the judiciary and then we'll be able to have independent minds that we have in other climes in our Supreme Court so these amendments are welcome and necessary for us to to put things in proper perspective do you think that Nigerians are fully aware of the extent to which this this amendments are going and engaged on the line that we need to talk about for instance the the issue of having life pension for the Senate president the House of Rep Speaker and their deputies the issue of the independent candidacy and other issues that have not been talked about and some have rejected this entire process because the focus of these people is the pension for their principal officers they don't think about pensions for Nigerians and a lot of these things are gross in secrecy and there is awareness what what we talk about is the level of engagement and transparency in in the discussion of this of this of this issue and it's what they want us to know that we know what they don't want us to know they keep shrouded in secret and you know they usually see they go into an executive session whereby they send they send all journalists and they close the door to themselves to have the liberation I don't know where the the parliament is the people's parliament it is the people's house I don't know where the parliament will go on an executive session and then send everybody out if they want to do that you do that at your caucus level once you come for public debate these are some of the things we need to throw away when issue comes up debate in the floor of the national assembly you don't shut anybody out let people know what you are debating on because what you are discussing has to do with Nigerians so the moment you are doing that you want to do that you do it at your caucus level the parliamentary level where each of the parties we have their own deliberation and they come and present their own position with respect to issues of national importance and issues of but what do we what do we know and now we have we have not been elected as legislator they know you know they know better and they say they are going to a secret session one last one on this Mr. J. Lee Johnson and I was at the one of the zonal hearings for this process you know they had the House of Rebs had his own you know groupings of states and the particular state they went to ask those groups of states those states in each group to come present their memoranda of public hearings I was a one of them and and I think I can say that the people of Nigeria were not fully participating in this process some groups came and made you know presentations and all that but but it wasn't really really you know well attended it at some points you know the pool it was almost as if it was just a parade of sorts you know so is this what we need at this point because we're looking at this concession amendment that will last the country for years to come and the concession is a concession is a grandom if it's done it's done we can't change anything except go through another process so do we need this or should we yes coffee why would you delete constitutional amendment to less than a year when transition to the next government will start why to this minute they packed everything together so that people are disturbed and distracted it's a strategy we've asked what you will tell you 2022 to pass a letter at amendment be when the last election was conducted in 2019 could you have done that in 2020 and get done with it in 2021 so it's a strategy these people are smart they don't they don't want you to get involved in this thing and so they packed everything together and you are distracted and you don't have a scene how you are governed you see even those that are coming to the public hearing some of them orchestrated them orchestrated participant in this in this in this public public public here and then how do you do how do you do public hearings the at zooms level you could you could do it on state by state basis you could decentralize this process send some to legal send some to to you if you want to do circles or you put two states together even if I just imagine is you have been doing a public hearing in the North Central just imagine Niger Niger to play to play to to to to to be me been way to to quarrel quarrel to cookie how do you where do they converge where do you know what they are affecting them and this is a jamboree that we have been doing calling consular amendments but the major thing that's of interest to them which will get quick passage you know these just came into into light just recently that you are looking for pension for principal officers of the National Assembly of the National Assembly after after after the end of 2010 this people are just a joke all right GD Johnson let's also take a look at the punch you see for this morning the Russian Ukraine crisis stranded Niger and send SOS to Buhari demand evacuation now the argument has been ongoing or the arguments in our spaces that some people are saying that the government should not be responsible for the evacuation of the student I mean the fact that they're not necessarily the one who send them out and some people are saying that they should evacuate the back-and-forth is still ongoing as you also still have some other countries who have not acted differently from the way Nigerian has we'd like to show your thoughts on this issue what is the responsibility of government to citizenry there's a responsibility Nigerians are caught in armed conflict between two nations that are neighbors and we don't know how catastrophic this could be and having a situation whereby Nigerians are there and some are saying that Niger had no business evacuating them from why do we have embassies in foreign countries why do we send members of the diplomatic community to those countries why that's the question why do we spend money on that on foreign relations if we are not there on the basis of our of our cities just for us to do business alone they know what contributions those Nigerian making to the Ukrainian economy and what contributions those Nigerians are making back okay so we seem to be having some network issues and connection with GD Johnson but as soon as we're able to you know having have a smooth connection then we have GD Johnson back but I mean these are some of the conversations this ongoing a lot of people would say you have parents or words and guidance will send your kids and what have you to study in Ukraine all right GD Johnson your back you had that thought on just before we got disconnected by the the network I just said that the responsibility of government as simple as ABC is the responsibility of government to evacuate Nigerians that are caught in conflict between two nations is a responsibility just imagine it doesn't matter the level and I've been Nigerian is important it's no life is better than other life you all have one life to live you can't borrow other people's life to live your own so assuming that is the children that are there or the students that are there the son of Senators Governors and President what do you think will happen it is responsibility of government government is the father of all children of all Nigerian children so responsibility of government to take to to to evacuate these people and that's my take on that GD Johnson we'll go back to the nation newspaper and the headline of the top left corner of the front page of that is report goes dust why petrol scarcity persists by Ipman being the independent petroleum marketers Association of Nigeria which has explained its members preference to sell of a selling of the reason behind the preference for selling petrol above the regulated pump price and the national according to that paper and this is what the story says that the Ipman national vice president taboca or may Gandhi says that the marketers were getting supply this is a petrol stations now getting supply at one hundred and eighteen era X depot price this is where above what is the approved official X depot price per liter and he says that our petrol remains scarce in major cities for two reasons refusal of Ipman members to get supply at high cost and hoarding of products to sell above regulated price to make marginal profit so what's your thought on this if we have regulatory agencies in the country who've been speaking and shouting and with a sense of entitlement and how come the the the depots are selling above the regulatory price and nobody's saying I've bought well at 200 I bought well at 200 and I put a little consistently about I travel to the state of last weekend I bought one at 200 and so if there are no regulatory body all you just need to do is just to be visited for a station and you see people selling the last I bought for it you are selling the so to close to about 25 cakes before this the the sale to a car in front of me and when it was met on this whole about 15 cakes for my car was was huge so it is a free for all it tells you that there are no regulations this is state of chaos this order and anomy and it's is more less like there's no control things fall apart and the center cannot hold when it comes to and I'm sorry I'm not a prophet of doom with what is happening in Russia Russia is the third largest producer of oil in the world it wasn't happening Russia we see implications of what did we have on global oil market and that implications we affect us in Nigeria because one we don't produce locally a we export our food oil and then we import our finish the finish pulled up back to Nigeria so it's it's it's not something which is going to end soon but we don't have any sort of control locally there's no there's no direction there's no there's no specific response from the government and we are facing independent market our private non-state actors talking and talking and talking whereas the state actors that are a little bit but the ppmc nnpc we are not hearing anything I was telling someone we are we are we are the watchdog of the of the downstream sector of the world are the watchdogs of people going about looking at our that these petro stations are compliant not compliant with what it fits into people's sentiment and suspicion that this presence of casualties and attack by government to actually increase the pump prices of petroleum product that if you suffer for it for about one month or two months we tell government you know what let government start selling this product at whatever as long as the product are available we don't want this actually so it's a trap test strategy and they are deploying it and i'm going to help Nigeria with with respect to what is what is really what is really what is really happening but it's just a matter of time for those that are in office and those that are in authority to understand that you can fool the people um some of the time you can fool them all over time because it's an untowdership I can tell you Kofi and Messi is an untowdership on an average on average Nigeria why should I go to stress paying for a product paying for a service that I'm even going to pay over the top to get it it's it's it's double one is double strategy you kill to buy fuel at the fuel station you spend hours to buy fuel that you are going to pay over the top for something which will be readily available if you pay for a service you should enjoy the service however it is classical case of what Fela said suffering and smiling all right let's uh as we go sit down we look at the daily trust newspaper this morning I like to ask if you do agree with this experience people academics needed for governance that's what the president is quoted to say on the page of the daily trust as various people are great academics academics that can run tertiary institutions successfully they can they can only depend on government to for that's why as you have been going on strike since um that um uh as you have been going on strike the university system and not run democratically you'll just take a look go around acts acts people that work in that the system but the level of autocracy and authoritarianism that characterizes our habit or you'll be shocked with it I'm I'm talking from an industry which I belong to and which I know the level the level of impunity with which things are done and you know in the university system you have a senate just like you have the senate in in in in in the national assembly as part of the organs of of of government um at the at the at the state level in public governance you also have the senate at the university you have the senate at the university system you have the academic board at the polytechnic level all democratic at this so uh the fact that you are at the fact that you are learning does not make you intelligent if you are not learning does not make you a good administrator so did i see if it's not the product of education alone is a product of is a product of your experience is a product of of your of your personal development is a product of of of of your vision what we present you be talking about are people that have vision for this country that are planned program of actions not what what they want to do what they plan to do to absorb the problem of this of this nation if all are investing all the departments of economics business administration and finance and insurance have not been able to come up with the template to help us solve our economic problem so you are going to that community to go and get someone that that that will run that will run your economy or if the all the engineering faculties that we have in Nigeria cannot come up with the with the solution on how we can construct our roads that can last for 50 60 years considering the topography go down we're really sorry i mean time is never a friend of ours when we're talking about it's a pleasure to be with you it's a pleasure to greet you have a wonderful weekend all right thank you so much gd johnson we do appreciate your time and we look forward to having more of you showing your thoughts on the show well it's the breakfast and plus tv africa let's let you know what happened today in history being the 25th day in the month of february we'll be right back after this time out please stay tuned


I am not sure we heard the same things this evening. What Narendra said was something different I think. China was able in 50 years to increase the life expectancy of its citizens by using fossil fuels and I don't believe that a country like India and some African country will be able to have this level of development and this level of energy without fossil fuels. So what I heard Narendra saying is that countries like India and other countries are going to use fossil fuel at a much higher level than the actual level and I think your summary was very biased. If you allow me to share very quickly you see when you look at India's track record on renewables what we have achieved the last five years trust me is more than Germany you see is better than our track record what we have we have been walking the you know talk all that we committed in Paris all that we committed in Glasgow or for that much we have already walked we have delivered that but that said at the same time world over 82% energy that the world is consuming is coming from traditional sources in India stories more or less the same 67% of electricity that we consume is coming from coal look at you see at the same time you have to see India has not some small banana Republic we have security challenges from the north from the Indian Ocean from so many side when you look at India's energy seen 88% of oil that we consume is imported 88% so is we consume 5.2 million barrels of oil every day natural gas we are importing roughly 56% our total requirement in solar power 90% of equipment that we are using you know for solar are imported mainly from China uranium you know big chunk of uranium we import so that makes that's extremely vulnerable in terms of energy security now the question is that you know on the one hand we have to see the renewable and at the same time we have to see the energy security because we are a very large country and also we are threatened from all side the final point I'm trying to make is energy transition in a country like India and it we are more committed than most countries in the global north are you can check it on the cold numbers facts but that I'd say time energy transition in India we will do with Indian characteristics based on ground realities in India based on the fact we still have 700 million people who are below energy poverty line so for us that comes first and if there is international pressure trust me we are strong enough to deal with it so I am I'm sorry it's a perhaps a privilege of the president but it's 735 and the court cocktail started unfortunately we will not have the time for a debate on more general issues these issues I wanted to debate is what are your expect expectation for next COP 28 meeting the second is perhaps a focus on China China is it's the elephant in the room and we need to speak about why about what will happen in China and depending on what's happening in China this will have a dramatic impact on the energy world and also on the environment worldwide and perhaps also a question I wanted to raise in 1973 the first oil shock was created by a conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and perhaps are we at the eve of an oil shock taking into account it was not with the Palestinian it was an attack by Egypt and Syria the same time the Palestinian and nothing to do with that sorry to record that I know I know but there is perhaps there is what perhaps there is we are at the eve of perhaps an oil shock why not taking into account the fact that the depletion referred by Nicola is taking place and the investment of in oil and in oil and gas has been reduced by a factor of two since 2014 so it's for the time being the Palestinians but what will be the position in the next few weeks of the Arab governments I'm not sure I hope that the what we heard from the advisor of the president of the UAE is right so I want to thanks the panelist and also thanks the audience for this debate and anyway perhaps the next time it will be necessary to have a longer the more time to have a long and in-depth debate on all around the world thank you


We are Bluestone National Park Resort and we're based in Pembrokeshire. We have a lot of waste at Bluestone and we seek to be sector lead-in in our waste management. We've been transitioning from a green bag of mixed recyclates to separate bags for paper and card in blue and plastic and cans in a red bag. We have around about 200,000 guests a year and almost 900 staff and that generates about 650 tons of waste per annum. We've been recycling food waste for a number of years already so the transition really has been from a green bag to those separated bags of red and blue. For sure, business is in Wales to jump on this recycling effort because it's going to save you money, it's going to reduce your carbon footprint, it's going to engage your staff and your clients and it's going to help Wales with its efforts to be the best recycling nation in the world. It's a really great time, people are engaged with it, people understand the benefits. There's no time like the present.


56% of Americans think we shouldn't teach Arabic numerals in schools. For the record, these are Arabic numerals. Imagine trying to split a check that looks like this, or even just writing out the date. Yeah, Roman numerals have literally always sucked. So you can thank this guy, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Kurismi, who is actually Persian, not Arab. Next time you write down literally any number. Hmm, I wonder why exactly.
