The FW Fitch Company presents Dick Powell as Private Investigator Richard Rogue in Rogue's gallery. Why, for a while, let us talk to your style, you stitch shampoo.  The FW Fitch Company makers of Fitch's saponified coconut oil shampoo and Fitch's shaving creams present Dick Powell as Private Investigator Richard Rogue. In Rogue's gallery. Rogue speaking, call me a silly, impressionable boy if you want to. But when I first laid eyes on Patricia Flynn at that party, I was over the side like a Jacob's latter. Her hair was as black as a lover's despair. Her eyes were the blue of the wash sky around a rainbow. And she was the feminine architecture of what the atom bomb is to science. Ah, there's never been anything like it. I, uh, I like her and she liked me. In fact, she seemed to be spending most of the evening trying to be alone with me. But, uh, another lovely blesser outmaneuvered her. The next day I went to my office a little late. I was just sitting there at my desk trying to make my checkbook agree with the bank's theories when the door opened. And who walked in was Patricia. I restrained a foolish impulse to grab her and shout, I love you, by looking bored and saying hello. Hello, Mr. Rogue. I guess I should have called for an appointment.   Let's get out of the haunt room and talk things over, shall we? After a while, if you want to, it sounds charming, but I wanted to talk to you here alone first. Oh? Oh, well, okay, what shall we talk about? Mr. Rogue, uh, Richard. Thank you. I know this sounds dramatic, but there have been two attempts made on my life in the past three weeks. Hmm, well, why would anybody want to harm you? I don't know, I really don't. There's no reason that I can think of. Well, aren't you a poor kid? Where do these attempts on your life take place? At our summer place, up on Lake Dekumche. Oh, and there's nobody up there with any motive for wanting you out of the way? Nobody. I don't know whether you've ever been to Lake Dekumche or not. It's a small resort, just a few families have carried you there. Pat, uh, maybe you'd better start from the beginning. You know, I don't really know much about you. Give me the whole story, will you? All right. You already know my name. It's Pat Flynn. My father was Michael Flynn, the attorney. Yes, I, uh, I knew of him, of course. Mother was much younger than dad. About a year after he died, she married Herbert Lewis, the British artist. He was a widower. He had a daughter, Diane, just my age. She was a lovely girl, very British, English, finishing school. And a wonderful musical education with the best of friends. She got married about three months ago to John Anderson. A boy I've known since he was about ten. We're very happy and we're all up to Lake together. All staying in the same cottage? Yes. Well, it isn't exactly a cottage. We all call it that, but it's really rather a large house. Okay.  How'd they happen? Well, about three weeks ago, I got up earlier than the rest of the family I often do. Went down to the lake for a dip and a pretty good swim. I headed right out to the island in the middle of the lake. I heard a bullet whistle past my head. I dove underwater and swam back to the shore as long as I could hold my breath. Then I came up. I heard another bullet hit the water, not a foot from me. I was frightened to death. I stayed underwater as much as I could until I saw Mother and John coming down for their morning dip. And I swam in and joined them. Did you tell them about it? No. I was afraid they'd laugh at me. There was another attempt? Later? Yes. I always have a glass of milk in my room at night. One night, for no reason at all, I gave it to my cat, Cynthia. And Cynthia died. She had convulsions and died. We better know that you've been poisoned. Somebody tried to poison me. Look, baby, I think it's about time you're telling somebody about this. There's no future in being murdered, you know? That poisoned milk makes it look like an inside job, doesn't it? I don't see how it could be anyone in the house. Mr. Rove, there's only the family and... No servants? Only Mary is a cook.  She wouldn't want to hurt me. Richard, I'm scared. I'm supposed to go back up to the lake tomorrow. I know that the next time, they're going to succeed in killing me. What do you want me to do?  And Mr. Rove... Yes, Pam? You can protect me. We'll continue our story in just a moment. First, the three essentials of attractive, healthy-looking hair are one, cleanliness, two, manageability, and three, a fresh, clean fragrance.

Six full ounces, 50 cents. Now, back to Dick Powell as private investigator Richard Rogue in Rogue's gallery. I couldn't understand why anybody would want to deprive this ugly old world of Patricia Flynn's beauty, but she was convinced that somebody was trying to promote her to a better land than this, so... I accepted her invitation to be a house guest at her family's 18-room cabin on Lake Ficumseh. I like to be Uncle Tom in a cabin like that. The living room was a little smaller than the Los Angeles Union station, but it was much more comfortable. There was a fireplace at each end of it about the size of the entrance to the Hudson tube, and the room was done in rustic furniture with down cushions. Every place you looked at the walls, you either got an inquisitive look from a defunct moose or a cold stare from a mounted fish. Ah, if this was roughing it, I gave up my scouting too early. The first evening, I sat around and talked with Pat's mother, who looked 30, and her step-sister Diane, who looked dandy, and John Anderson, who looked like John Anderson. John was Diane's husband. We're so happy that you could come up with Patricia, Mr. Rogue. She hasn't been enjoying herself this summer, for some reason. She seems so depressed. Well, a girl with her look should never be depressed. If I weren't Patricia's mother, I think she was in love. She has all the symptoms. Are you the cause of all this, Rogue? I hope so, but I doubt it. It's an interesting thought. Where is Pat? She went out for a walk, down around the lake, I suppose. Oh, well, perhaps we're keeping you, Mr. Rogue. The moon's shining, you know. They're romantic out by the lake. Oh, I think if you wanted me to go with her, she would have asked me. You don't know women, Mr. Rogue. They suckle. It's really a lovely night. Come on, Diane. Let's take a walk and show Mr. Rogue around the place a little bit, huh? No, you and Mr. Rogue go ahead, John. I'm going to stay in tonight. I've had the sniffles all day. I don't think I should be out in the night. You'd better slip a coat on over your sweater if you go out, Mr. Rogue. It gets pretty chilly up here, night. Well, how about it, Rogue? Shall we take a look around? Oh, yes. Certainly, I'd like to take a look around this place. Sure, I'm not putting you out. Oh, not at all. I usually take a stroll before turning in. Come on. Okay. If you ladies will excuse us. Of course. I'll see you at breakfast, Mr. Rogue. I'll probably be retired before you return. It's so nice having you here. Thank you. Good night. Good night. We live very quietly here on the lake road. I'm afraid you might find a little dull. Oh, I could use a little quiet. Have you known Pet Long? Hmm? Well, uh, quite a while. She's a grand girl, isn't she? No, one of the best. Strange kid, though. I think she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She has something on her mind lately, though. Doesn't seem to be quite her old carefree self. You've noticed it, too, huh? No, she was very close to her father, you know. Hasn't been too sharp since his death. I'm kind of worried about her. You think that's what she's brooding about? Her father's death? I can't figure her lately. She's changed completely. Now, look at her down there by the side of the lake. All alone, as usual. Hmm. Suppose she would resent it if we joined her? Well, we can try and see. Hey, Pat, you receiving callers this evening? I'm waiting for them. Come on over.  That remark has my enthusiastic approval. Aren't you cold out here with no wrap, Patty? No, it's nice out here. I like the breeze. Get on the sand, Mr. Rogue. Wow, thanks. Oh, brother, this is the life. Brings out the Davy Crockett in there. Tell me, does the place come equipped with a canoe? Canoe, speedboat, rowboat, take your choice. Personally, I prefer the speedboat. These both handspray. You and your elephant's memory. John used to make mad love to me out there on that lake, Mr. Rogue. Before he was married, of course. Well, that was puppy love. Pat soon tired of me. What's the program for tomorrow, Pat? Want to go riding? Sure. Six o'clock then at the stables. Six o'clock in the morning? Will the horses be awake? No, they go to bed early. What are you looking for, Rogue? My cigarettes, I guess I left them in my coat. Can you spare one? I didn't bring any with me. Did you, Pat? You know I don't smoke. Well, I'm an awful slave. Looks like I'm going to have to go get them. I'll be back in a minute. Okay, we'll be here.  But I did know he had cigarettes in his pocket. It was hard for me to believe that a guy living in all that luxury would begrudge a house guest a cigarette for financial reasons. So I had to assume that he wanted to be alone with Pat. I felt as unnecessary as a laugh at a funeral as I walked back up to the house. The French doors into the living room were open and I headed for them. I wasn't making any noise, walking in the sand. And I stopped in embarrassment when I heard the conversation which was in progress in the room between Diane and Patricia's mother.  So Pat throws herself at John as sickening. John's old enough to take care of himself, I believe, Diane. She's doing everything she can to cause trouble between John and me. Everything. She hates me for marrying John. Yes, I believe she's still in love with John. She always has been. And if she hadn't been away at school when you met John and married him... Please!  Ever! It's the truth. If it hadn't been for you, John and Pat would be married as they always planned to be. But she doesn't leave John alone if something terrible is going to happen to her. I love John. He's mine.    But I'm her mother. I want my daughter to be happy again. And I'll do anything... anything to bring her happiness back to her. You can't take John away from me. I'm going to have a talk with him now. We're leaving here in the morning. When Diane left that room, you could feel the hate radiating from her like heat from a depot stove. She walked directly toward the spot where I was standing and I ducked back into the shrubbery. I followed her as she headed to the couple on the beach. And I was only a few feet behind her when she stopped. Pat and John were knee-deep in a conversation that was a tone lower than the last note of a sleep in the deep. Diane, listen. So did I. We have to do something about this, John. We can't go on this way. If you don't tell her you wanted a voice, I... I don't want a voice, Pat. Now that's final.  Make it over tonight, darling. Meet me on the island at six tomorrow morning. You'd better go in. All right. I'll meet you in the morning. Pat, but you... Go in, John. I love you. This group of lovely people was as full of potential dramas as a little theater on opening night. I followed Diane back into the house, walked noisily in the front door, and said good night. I thought I heard somebody enter and leave my room while I was under the shower, but there was nothing much I could do about it. The room was empty when I reentered it, and I helped myself to a drink of water from the thermos on the night table. The water tasted funny. As I hit the pillow, I knew what it was. I went out like a match in a bucket of water. And when I opened my eyes, I was on cloud eight. Hugo was looking me over, and that little dame was there. Oh, never mind. What's that girl doing here? If you're going to ask me for permission to get married, the answer is no. Look, Hugo. You've got all you can do to take care of your job as my alter ego, without taking on any more responsibilities. Man to man. Anything you ask me is spooked to man, Hugo.  What the heck? Did it ever occur to you that I was clear in my head I wouldn't be here on cloud eight? Talking to you and that lily-pushing Lana Turner? This cloud eight is strictly non-coeducational.  Oh, no. No. No, I have to rest a while. Go away. No. No. Cut it out. Oh, I strangled you with your own beard, Hugo. Stop pushing.  The sun was high. My head felt like a busy blacksmith's anvil, and my tongue was made of mink.  I dressed without lowering my head and made a belated appearance at the breakfast table. Proud and her mother were having breakfast. John came in a few minutes after me. He didn't look well, either. Good morning, Don. Where's Diane? I don't know. I had a bit of a disagreement last night. She slept in a guest room, and I just looked in and she wasn't there. She probably went for a morning dip. Have you been in yet this morning, Pat? Not me. I slept. I couldn't wake up this morning. Whatever happened to our horseback ride, Pat? Oh, did you get up for it? Oh, me? Oh, no. That's not true. As a matter of fact, I never slept so well in my life. Yeah, that goes for me, too. And I feel terrible this morning. So do I. I feel dopey. How about a canoe ride after breakfast, Pat? It was both good. Maybe that's what I need. Am I looking stupid, as I feel? I don't know what you mean. You look kind of sleepy. You look like I feel. Somebody dope me last night, Pat. I did. Are you sure? Honey, I know when I had been slipped a tricky mickey. I thought I'd run of those times. Who would have wanted me out of the way last night? I don't know. I'm sure somebody dope me last night, too, Richard. It's almost as if... some crazy person were hiding there. Maybe we should call the police. Look, chicken, that, uh, that stepsister of yours is kind of burned for you. Diane? No, don't look so surprised. You know it.  Diane lifted your boyfriend, didn't she? Yes. You're asking for trouble, Pat, running back like that. I really... Hey. What's the matter? What's that over there? Oh, oh, Richard. Don't look. It's Diane, isn't it? Yes. That's my white bathing suit. She's wearing my bathing suit. She's dead, Pat. Somebody shot her. Oh, no. Richard. Whoever shot her thought they were shooting me. We'll return to our story in just a moment. First, a word to the ladies. You know how often your hair is caught in the spotlight of the summer sun. Be sure your hair meets the test.

Remember always to ask for Fitch. F-I-T-C-H. Fitch's saponified coconut oil shampoo. Now back to Dick Powell as private investigator Richard Rogue in Rogue's gallery. Well, Pat Flynn had proved her point. Her half-sister Diane was lying there on the beach, dead. Shot while swimming in Lake Dickumson, wearing Pat's white satin swimsuit. I stood over Diane's body while Pat ran screaming hysterically up to the house to get John.  Oh, darling. Here, John, take it easy, old man. Let go of me, Rogue. Let go of me. I know how you feel, John. Oh, you know how I feel.  A man had to murder it? You know how I feel. How could you know? John, John, please. Get away from me, Pat. You're here. This is all your fault.  Now take it easy, John. You don't know what you're saying. How can you blame you, John?  I wish they had. You were the cause of all the trouble. You've hated her ever since we were married. You think she stole me from you? How could you think that? You were never anything to mean. We'd better get up to the house. The police have to be called. This is murder, you know. You take care of that, will you, Rogue? Of course. You better come with me, John. No. I'll stay here with Diane. Or take Pat with you. I'll leave her out here with me. I'll go, John. I wish you wouldn't hate me. Get back to the house. Come on, Pat. When the police get here, Rogue has something to tell him. Bring him right out here to me. All right. All right, John. Oh, this is a horrible thing, Pat. Tell me, how did your mother react to the news of her step-daughter's murder? She didn't say anything. She just said, oh, Richard, you don't thank mother. I don't know. Looks like everybody in the house was dope last night, but your mother... I couldn't have been mother. She wouldn't want to hurt me.  Oh, no. It couldn't have been mother. It was someone trying to kill me. That's just a theory. Go call the police. Tell them to come up here.  As soon as Pat was out of the way, I ran up the stairs to my room. I took the stopper out of the thermos and sniffed the water in it. There had been chloral in that water. I knew the pungent smell of it. I visited Pat's bedroom and John's and sampled the odor of the water at their bedside. It was a very interesting experiment. I headed for the bedroom occupied by Pat's mother and hesitated outside the door. There was the odor of burning cloth. I opened the door and walked in.  What do you mean coming into my bedroom, Mr. Rogue? Your step-daughter Diane has been murdered and I'm investigating the circumstances. Give me that bathing suit. Give it here. No, I won't. I... I'm sorry. I'll have to take it then. You know, destroying evidence is bad business. Give it here. I killed her. I killed Diane, Mr. Rogue. You did? Why?  I killed her this morning. Where does the bathing suit end into it? Why were you trying to destroy it? I didn't want the police to know that I'd been in the lake this morning. Oh, I see. Well... The police are... Mother. What are you doing with that swimsuit? Pat, I... Who's is it? It was Diane's. You might as well face it, Pat.  She just confessed to me. She was burning that suit to keep the police from finding out that she'd been in swimming this morning.  Look at that suit. Look at the size of it. Mother can no more get into that. Pat. No. No, she couldn't. Could she? But you could, Pat. And if I... I did it. I killed her. Pat, don't say anything. The water on my nightstand was drugged last night, Pat. Chloral. So was John's. But yours wasn't. And you shot Diane, didn't you? No. Pat, don't answer him. I shot her. I hated her. She was... No, good mother. I did it. I killed her. I saw her sneaking around listening to what John and I were saying last night. Spying on us. I gave her something to listen to. I made a date to meet John on the island at six o'clock this morning. I knew what she'd do. I knew... Oh, Pat. Pat, how could you do it? I'm glad I did it. If I can't have John... I'd just as soon be dead. I'm only sorry I wasn't a little more clever. Pat, dear, we'll... we'll get the best attorneys. No. Not for me. Oh, bless your heart. That was a wonderful you try, you make for me. The police arrived a few minutes later and Pat told him everything. Her diary was admitted as evidence of her trial. Every day since the marriage of John and Diane, Pat had planned Diane's death. The funny attempts on her life that she told me about were part of the build-up. There could be no doubt about the fact that Pat's mind had given away under the deadly poison of jealousy and hate. She was found not guilty by a reason of insanity and was committed to an institution. All in a cot of jealousy. Oh, well, jealousy is a very strange thing. You drive yourself daffy trying to prove something that your hope isn't true, because if it is, you're going to drive yourself crazy trying to convince yourself that it wasn't important anyway. You know what I mean. This is Dick Powell again, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you enjoyed our story tonight. Ray Buffham wrote it. Leith Stevens composed and conducted the music and D. Engelbach produced and directed. Next week we have a story for you about a red-headed stranger, a young wife, and, ah, something different. A murderer. Be with us then, will you?

You are still watching the program, if you've just joined us, it's the mid-week frenzy edition of the breakfast on Plastevia Africa and yes, it's time for us to take a look at the headlines and some of the national newspapers in the country and we are beginning with leadership newspaper and leadership leads with a head of inauguration, rents, property value search in Abuja and the writer there, estate developers, landlords, agents make risks business. They make risk business as a result of the inauguration. New lawmakers, political appointees, scramble for accommodation, cost of building materials, inflation blamed. That's the leading headline on the leadership newspaper. You go on top of that leading headline, you have a sub headline that says Agora policy tax president-elect on prudence fiscal responsibility. Agora is a private sector policy think tank and they have said that the president, the incoming president, you know, should be prudent as he takes over the mantle of leadership. And you go on top of the leadership newspaper, you have PMB reappoints Abike Debrey Erewar as Natcom Chairman and the second over there on the top of the leadership is Adamawarek in police custody and he says, I didn't collect bribe. Details of that is on page 15 of leadership newspaper. I think that's it for leadership newspapers. No, that's not it. You still have on the side something very serious they have to do with our sector. Editor, seek press freedom, safety for journalists. Page six is where you find details of that. Editors seeking press freedom, safety for journalists. You have a quorumado, reps, echoers, right UK government plead for clemency. You do remember that organ harvesting story and then we can declare public holiday as Tunibu visits rivers. That's on page eight. We'll move away from the leadership now. We'll go to nature news and nature news has very interesting stories as well. Concerns as charcoal business takes toll on Nigeria's forests, mangroves, state governments, agencies move to kerb tide. Traders blame environmental pollution others for engaging in trade. That is on page three of nature news. We also have a story but I will say hopeful. Sorry. So we'll move to negotiations. Expect cleaner, greener public transport system. We can't wait. Nigeria's gas reserves now eighth in global ranking. That's according to a report that came in. And then we have something sporty on the 17 Afghan law early dedicates our water teammates on page 21.  That'll be it from nature news. I'm from the nature news. We'll move to the nation newspaper and the nation newspaper is leading with a dam or please squeeze detain wreck. INEC commissioners. You have the writers there. Unisa Ari gives self up at force headquarters says I have no regrets. He is still very bold. And on the side of that you have first batch of Nigerians expected from Sudan today. 1,350 arrived in Port Sudan. 5,500 taken out of Khartoum and house leadership meets ministerial agencies. So we're still on that figure. 5,500. Okay. So on top of the nation newspaper's headline you have 57.4 million BVNs linked to bank accounts. 7,500 under watch list. Is your name one of that list? Watch list. All right. So Obiyad meets making phone calls to Oedipal and that's on page 5 my UK airport experience. Obiyad meets making phone calls to Oedipal and then right of there my UK airport experience. And so you have beside that NSIA launches firm to deliver healthcare expansion plan that will be found on page 6 and then Zenith bank shareholders get 100.47 Naira dividend. You find that on page 11. And right at the bottom of the nation newspaper you find Jam releases UTME results. You also have driver who slammed bus into training Legos remanded does it for the nation newspaper. Okay. We move to the Guardian and the top story there is negotiations intense lobbying among contenders as national working community meets. That's page 6. That's talking about Senate presidency. That's what is giving the making them negotiate and lobby. We have another story. CBN places 7,552 account holders on BVN watch list. Well, my name cannot be there. Okay. Tinnaboo's 10.8 million dollars London mansion. Buying property under investigation risky lawyer say that will be found on page 2. Federal airport authority of Nigeria to demolish more illegal houses around airports nationwide. That is news on page 5 of the Guardian. Sudan crisis. Lawmaker summon O'Nyema. Dabiri Nema officials will see that on page 3. And then we have Fintry Hills arrest of fleeing at Damawa wreck two weeks after. And finally crisis rocks assembly as members impeach speaker. We touched that a little bit yesterday. So, okay. So those were the headlines on the Guardian newspaper today. Yes, and we have a guest to join us on off the press to take a look at some of these headlines in the person of Tunde Kola Wole. He is a legal practitioner here in Legos. Good morning, Tunde. Good morning How are you today? It's always a pleasure to have you. Let's go straight to the nation newspaper, which leads with a Damawa. A Damawa, please squeeze, detain, wreck, INEC commissioners. Let's start with that. What's your take on the fact that he has finally been caught or he's in the police custody been creased? Well, the two complicated stories about his arrest, we've heard from some court that the man willingly submitted himself to the police. On the other hand, the police are telling us that they trapped him and then were able to arrest him. Whichever is the case, there is immaterial disclosure in time. What is important is that the man, which is the police, and we also tell the police everything that we know and what road he played in the Deepaku that was the Damawa Govnoti election. Without making too much inclinations, one could say that what happens, it can be resolved, it has not been completed. Under our law, it's a very, very serious impact. In fact, it is not too far away from prison. As Ryan and I do know that the prison car is very onerous, consequences under our law. Because what the man did is capable of transmitting these democracies, which we have been not trying very carefully since 1999. We will also not try and prejudice whatever the police might be looking at. Let us just say for now, he is in police net, and we are told some other persons are supposed to be invited. Let also that the police will be a thorough job and arrive at a bend that will make it as possible to pursue the man in the court of competent jurisdiction. And if he has no place to enter, to let him be. If he has some other accomplices too, then we expect that the police will start their drag net and then bring in all those people. Women, the court of women have aided and updated. Women have compiled with this work to do what they did. Because when you look at the notification of what happened, you want to believe that it is a physical product. One man will begin to do, or to embark on the course of action, which they let cut and back to him. He has given himself up, has been arrested, whichever it is. He's saying that he has no regrets. How do you respond to that coming from the man who's been in hiding, finally coming out, either being arrested or giving himself up? He's confident that he has no regret over his actions. Well, he knows that from the little that I read from the statement that we have made, he has said that he didn't collect blood from anybody to do what he did. He's also claiming that he has the responsibility to do what he has done. But when you look at his natural act, and I know that, you will agree with me that the red is the overall head of the high net office in Adelaus too. Additionally, he has a final responsibility, which is just to work out. This idea of bringing people from outside America, university, to further another, to come and do clinical and mental results and others, was something that is for my next chairman to give some credibility. I wouldn't know whether that has been incorporated into the regulations I guideline, which I make is to visually draft and give to all their functionaries, running elections. What regulations and other things are incite not to supplementary to the electoral act? The electoral act is the main thing. Other regulations that I like, though, is supplementary to the electoral act. And it is the supplementary thing, the regulations that I like, though, is also recognized by law. What we want is to take precedence over the other. First is the constitution, second is the electoral act, and the I like guidelines. And precedence, the other one that is integrated into the electoral act. I suspect that this work is relying on the constitution and not only relying on the electoral act, to a factor to make it clear that he is making, that he acted within the podium of his office. Because if this matter eventually goes to court, we have to interpret that and give their decision with regards to whether the man is within the podium of his office, or he has gone on the tourniquet of his own. Well, I'm just wondering how different is this case of Adamawa from what happened at the national scene? Because a lot of people who are talking against Adamawa is that he overstepped, he did what his children have done, which means they feel that the provisions in whether the electoral act or the constitution did not give him that power to announce the result, especially when the coalition had not finished. And if they are going to take this case to the court, what document are they going to use to judge the case? Because that same document, which we are hoping they're going to use to judge the case, also said transmission of results from the polling units should be done from the beavers to the IRF and all that. And it was jettisoned for whatever reason that they are giving to us. So if they prosecute him, what now happens at the national scene? What is the difference that gives this one a bad name and the other one a good name? Well, not like you said. The law is the prophecy of what is important to see, and most of all potential. Like I said, the constitution is the organic law. That is the government. The most important of all the laws are not followed by the electoral act. And of course, the INE group and the constitution comes into that. The beavers have to talk about, I'm not to show that the beavers are not incorporated and passed into the electoral act. It only says that elections can be constituted electronically. And you are now seeing that the electoral constitution of results is not necessarily through beavers anymore. And even when the law has no provisions for that, like the Yannis, Yama, and Abu Dhabi, the presidential elections are not allowed. They have to be a force major. A force major in the sense that if there are issues with the technology, like lack of internet, that we sometimes play everywhere, we go to our banks to do transactions, and the banks who say they have no internet have the order, they have to have other accounts. They have to wake and come back the following day, or whatever. That is a force major. I suspect that all the INE's in Abu Dhabi are relying on me that there will be a force major, which may be impossible for them to transmit the results to the beavers and then the electoral, any other electorate. For the Yadamawa issue, there wasn't an issue or not aware of any issue. It transitions the results to the beavers and the electorate. I think what has been that relationship was considered in certain places and what has been. And rather than way that all this should be properly handled and what has been, the former REC 28th of the year had the results, whichever way we look at it. I like as a body, at the federal level, who still did want to be blamed for not just what happened during the presidential election, but also what we saw in the Yadamawa during the presidential election. Too many times we sent the Yadamawa breath and Nigerians in the Pega and Nora as they are in between Abu Dhabi. The readiness to transmit the results to beavers and other electorate means. And they were sure that they were prepared. In fact, before the electorate was passed, part of the living that we sent in, for example, didn't want to incorporate an electronic transition of results and electronic voting into the electorate was that they fear that in certain parts of the country, at certain times, it might be difficult to transmit results either to beavers or to upload this into the server. And it's not like that. Because of the peculiarity of our situation, lack of electricity in certain places, lack of internet, inadequate internet coverage in some others, can give them the manpower. I give you an example. So many officials who have set and studied the responsibility of transmitting some of the results to beavers, didn't actually know how to operate that machine. You know, so he's the man who doesn't know how to operate a machine that and all that. If you have not been given adequate training, one has to operate it. And if you have been given training, and it's not smart enough to know how to use those things, because it is a technology carry, it doesn't have the technological power there. Some of these things are really difficult to insist that they should be done when there is a false material like that. So one much is given, much is also expected. I make a doubt for you, you have to be careful that we mention whether the government of this region, they have also been given adequate resources in terms of learning, in terms of manpower. Almost everything that is requested for were made up very quickly. So to one much is given, much is also expected. All the excuses and nonsense that we have to mention, what's not to have a reason. In fact, when you are using technology, you are supposed to have some back of them there, so that when one fails to, you quickly switch over to the second one, so that you know the disappointment with what you want to do. So we will wait and let the cost decide the face of both the wreck and also we will see the current imagine making. We will get to the performance of the INEC in the context of the election. Okay, so it just shows INEC was not 100% prepared because if the people who are supposed to know that couldn't operate the machines. But let's move on from election matters to another very interesting one. First batch of Nigerians is expected from Sudan today, so many days after today. 1,350 arrived in Port Sudan and 5,500 taken out of Khotum house leadership meets ministries, agencies. So we are expecting the first batch of our evacuees from Sudan only today in Nigeria. What are your comments on that? Well, for me, it's good that the first batch are coming in, but on a scale speaking, like most of us speaking, nothing within two other countries in the evacuation of Nigerian citizens in Sudan. Look at the 60 manai and with the American government, the British government, the German government, the Japanese government quickly evacuated their citizens and now others. Whereas we are in Africa and we have a better advantage to get the evacuation of our people. There has been a very long historical relationship between Sudan and Nigeria. In the past, when there were no flights and water routes, people used to take from Nigeria to Sudan and then to make up to participate in the arch in less arch and then the main arch and norah. So for them, Nigeria has one of the biggest embassies in Sudan. So at the time, the panel of Northern Nigeria used to have some of the most disease in Sudan. You also know that Sudan has one of the world's largest movement in the past within its soil. And if you also look at the number of Nigerian students who are set up in school in Sudan, about 10,000 of them, this will tell you the historical relationship between Nigeria and Sudan. So one would have the expectation that the federal government, who have a better communication, who have a better rapport with the Sudanese authority, so that within 48 hours, like these other countries are able to do, they will be able to evacuate our citizens. But rather, we hire their party and then take them to Egypt. Yeah, Egypt, again, delays as they put in and allow them to come because they were said to not allow them to come. That didn't happen because of other country and norah. The people, I mean, the refugees, people who were running away from war and not expected to have their visa, they just fell through. The content, the disguise, the apprehension, the hostilities that we as Nigeria have always get from people and from countries that we have been always, that we have always been highly and well disposed of. I suspect that the Egyptian people also don't trust our citizens. The thing that if they easily come in there, they might not leave. And if they don't leave, they may begin to create more efficiency and engage in a criminality in their country. If the women want that to happen. Yes, Tunde, the fallout of the way our officials handle the evacuation of people from Sudan has led to lawmakers summoning on them. That's the Foreign Affairs Minister and the Honourable Abike Dabir-e-Rewa and NIMA officials to come and explain to them. But that's on the one hand, because we also have part of the headlines where President Mohamed Abu-Hari has reappointed Honourable Abike Dabir-e-Rewa has not come chairman. Can you comment on this as you blend them? Well, by and large, I think that Abike Dabir-e-Rewa is, in a way, not done too badly as chairman of the agency that he has. Actually, so far, he hasn't had any serious conduct with regards to the activities of that agency. My suspicion is that there wasn't a synergy between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and also the agency that Abike Dabir-e-Rewa had. Most times, rather than work as a team, these agencies begin to rival themselves, they begin to contest among themselves. Not just as a guy who is going to get the job done, but also who is going to take the credit at the end of the day. And when two LFs are fighting, it's usually the guys that suffer. Most times, in a grand people that suffer, when different agencies of government begin to rival themselves as a guy what is to be done, and needs to be in a very, very strict manner. But if I was a Monomaluwari, I wouldn't have appointed Abike Dabir-e-Rewa. Why do I say that? Some of the appointment that the President is making today, in a way, will tie them behind the incoming President, because the appointment that Abike Dabir-e-Rewa is going to be for another ten or four years. That is to say, if the incoming President and incoming government are not even pleased with the review at work, and they're not pleased with their strategies at work, they cannot remove it, they cannot do anything about it. If they have to do, they might be falling into the same trap which they fell into with the Kermos NNPC, an argument, who has gone to court now, and the court has said it should be paid billions of Naira for the showdown manner which was removed as the Kermos NNPC. It is just a few days to go. The President should have waited for the incoming government to begin to make some of these appointments and Naira, so that the hands of the incoming government will not decide, and there's no negation of that coming, for staffers and for agencies that they might not be too comfortable with. Okay. Well, thank you, Tinder. Let's move from that to the Guardian newspaper. And a very interesting story is there about the crisis rocking the Abya State House of Assembly as members in Peach Speaker. They moved out of their assembly in Nigeria as not lead up to the Nigerian people's expectations. Most of them have become a robust camp for the governor at the state level, and here at the federal level, they've become a robust camp for the President. Take the famous, for example now, those who wanted to become famous presidents, and wanted to become famous presidents, other political officers, are now going to then become a president, to lobby him, to be appointed, or to step into those issues. So if he was the one that did not do that, and he made it possible for them to become famous presidents and speakers of other places, how would they be able to offer their independence when eventually the government takes up the same thing for the state? The governor decides who become the speaker, and who doesn't hold any principle of the state, and he respects the state of assembly. He collects that in a key state, not too long ago, the president governor in the key state had his own candidate for the speaker sheet, and then the house gone governor, Kaya Gepa, also wanted his own lawyer list to occupy the post of the speaker of the key state of assembly. When the incumbent governor went and appointed, and then got his man sworn in, Kaya Gepa and me sworn into action, and I think the speaker was removed, and Kaya Gepa and me's candidate was eventually made the speaker of the key assembly. If you look at what is happening in the state that we are talking about also, two issues may be responsible. It could be that the governor of that state is not uncomfortable with the speaker of the other assembly, or the members of the other assembly are not comfortable with the performance of the speaker. So the extent that some of the people in the inspector, they will be getting, in terms of positions, in terms of the money, in terms of other package items also, if they think they are not getting it, they are not. The challenge is what they will be able to remove the speaker, to pay the will for somebody else, who might be willing to dance to their tune and get them whatever they wanted. But I suspect that it is not impossible that the governor will have a hand in this. And if he doesn't have, if the other assembly decides to assert himself, and the governor feels that he is going to do his judgment, the possibility is that the governor will still go ahead, in the future, and remove the speaker, and impose his will in the candidate. We collect also what happened in the process, that the other assembly, in order that the governor may not have a driver, competitor, or people who claim him and not. The other assembly will shut down for years, and the governor will be able to maintain and remove the roof of the other assembly, so that the lawmaker has no place to sit and hold meetings, and not to show that they still have that, or whether that the building has been reduced. So these are some of the issues that we have been contending with, because in the return to this republic in 1999, we just pray that the legislators will know that they are also the separation of power between the executive, the legislator, and then the judiciary, and also to his or her leader, the governor, to be the first president of the republic. They are also to be some separation of power between you two, and these are the organs of the state, as I have mentioned. All right. Okay. That would be the much we can take on this segment of the show today. I would like to say thank you to you for coming on the show and giving insight to some of the headlines. Thank you, Tinde. We'll be taking a break now to come back. Yes, so we'll be taking a look at the cost of insurgency and banditry in Nigeria. You want to stay with us as we take a look at the impact of banditry in this country. We have a very interesting guest that you want to listen to. Stay with us as we take this break and return on the breakfast.
