with the NFL adding a 17th game this season. What's one way that that could actually help them in their pursuit of free agent wide receivers in the future? A lot of Ravens fans are sold on the prospect of Rashad Bateman joining Baltimore. But if he isn't there, pick number 27. What other wide receiver options should the Ravens go in the first round? What area do you want to see Lamar Jackson and this offense improve in from last year the most? These questions and more on this episode of NFL questions from subscribers. YouTube team keeping clean. What's going on the same grave and here with another video and another episode of NFL questions from subscribers. What question from subscribers is the series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to based off of any NFL team and we answered in a video just like this. Now if you want the chance to be a part of NFL questions from subscribers then you can send me an email to teamkeepitcleanatgmail.com. Don't send it to any other emails or else we won't have your question. Now this is a special episode of questions from subscribers because we have a special guest today by Chibs aka late round corner aka Mike. Go ahead and tell the people about yourself. Let them know where they can find you and exactly what it is that you do. Well that's a lot of stuff honestly so most of my I do a lot of draft stuff. You know that draft season is probably my favorite time of year and all of my draft stuff right now is on NFL draftright.com. There's also a website that I started but I kind of stepped away from for now. It's called neutral zone infraction and that's just neutral zone infraction.com but if you want to find any of my stuff anything that I do is always on my Twitter and it's at late round corner spelled just like it sounds. Apparently there's a guy named JJ Zachariah that's late round QB. Don't get them mixed up. I'm the other guy. So that's where that is right now. I'm working on a couple other things where I might be contributing to Raven's brawl but nothing is set in stone there yet. So the best thing I can do is if you like what you hear today or if you just want to argue which I do like arguing you can just find me on Twitter at late round corner. It's full of opinions and blue collar analysis. I try to keep it simple for like the casual fan because I know when I first started watching football trying to learn everything was it was overwhelming. But what made you get into really like analyzing and know what made you really get into loving the draft. Man I'd have to say like so I used to be on Facebook and I'm not anymore and I used to just yeah that's what I hear. I used to just like watch college prospects when they would come out and I would say things about them and then people started coming to me and asking my opinion on certain prospects and things like that and it just kind of grew from there which is really how like all of my blue collar analysis started was the first site I ever wrote for. I mean they just picked me up out of a Facebook AFC north group and it just kind of exploded from there or you know grew from there. I don't know that it's exploded yet but it's really just you know people have this tendency to want new and shiny and the next best thing and everything like that and being able to help them see the pros and cons of each prospect even if they don't accept it you know if they're diehard on a prospect like wow I don't know Hakeem Butler then they're not going to look away from that prospect no matter what you say but it provides the opportunity for people to learn and I do enjoy helping people get to know the game better and hopefully keep them from being engaged in silly conversations that they don't need to be a part of. Okay and one last question before we get into this why Iron Man? Why is he the best Avenger? So this is going to be deep man. When I grew up I had a plan for life and without getting too deep into it my plan for life ended up getting derailed and I fell into alcoholism and you know since then I still drink obviously everybody knows that I love my bourbon but I'm definitely reformed from how I was and you know me I've always got a snarky comment to make or a little bit of wit and I just identified with Tony Stark stories like not having his parents going up and you know the alcoholism and the wit and everything like that not so much obviously the being rich thing because that would be nice but it's obviously not on the cards for me and obviously I don't fly around in a metal suit but that would be also very cool but I also like if we're talking just MCU like if you watch his story arc from how he started to making the ultimate sacrifice for the people that he cared about and people that he didn't even know I mean I think there's something within that story versus a guy like I don't know Captain America who just decided to give up on his team and go live the life that he wanted to live. I appreciate that backstory man because I didn't even know all that about your love for uh I know you love Iron Man but I didn't know exactly why so I appreciate you sharing that with us yeah he was like a childhood hero man like comics everything growing up it was it was always Iron Man so all right cool I appreciate it all right so without further ado we got some good questions as we always do let's do it first question came from my guy young gorilla he said what's up in Graven hope all is well with you and the fam been watching for a long time and I'm a long time Ravens fans since basically Harbaugh's third season as head coach so basically I've only had Harbaugh as a head coach so with these most likely being his last two seasons in Baltimore who do you think the Ravens will go after as a new head coach and he has some more questions but we'll start there first now I'll start I can't say that these are Harbaugh's last two seasons with the Ravens I think it depends on a lot that goes on moving forward and the success or lack of success hopefully it's not lack of success but it all depends on the Ravens success moving forward so I can't pencil these in as okay after these next two seasons Harbaugh's done because just right it depends on so much how you feel about that I don't know I mean I do know again the new and shiny thing comes into play for the last couple of seasons fans have been all out on Harbaugh largely 2019 being the outlier of course you know saying Lamar Jackson saved his job and then Harbaugh wasn't a good coach and like every coach has their faults period you're not going to find a coach that is good at absolutely everything Bill Belichick maybe the best coach of our generation probably the best coach for our generation is terrible at drafting like you're not going to find a coach that is perfect at everything and I don't understand the fans you know wanton abandonment of John Harbaugh I don't know that he only has two years left like you said I think it depends on a lot of things you know if they win a Super Bowl in the next two years John Harbaugh is not going anywhere right they get close to a Super Bowl John Harbaugh is not going anywhere you know if everything falls apart obviously John Harbaugh is probably gone and then I think you look at a guy and this is hard to call two years out because you don't know who's going to be available but if there is a guy like Eric B. Enemy available I think you take a long hard look at him but honestly I think you pull somebody from the college ranks like a Lincoln Riley or something like that especially if they're going to extend Lamar Jackson and you have that kind of quarterback under your control for the next five six years then I think a college coach is probably going to be able to get the most out of him as far as creativity and doing some of the things that Lamar Jackson can do best I like that and one of the answers that you gave actually led into his next part of the question and he said but you answered it already he said should Harbaugh stay if we win a Super Bowl in the next two seasons of course like especially if they don't have a serious upgrade at wide receiver if they win a Super Bowl with Sammy Watkins as wide out one then John Harbaugh needs to stay because that is just it's an atrocious wide out group so then he's next up he said does Wink or Roman get the promotion I don't think they would give it to Roman he said I know it's early but it's been on my mind since this offseason started I hope you get to my question much love for the channel and for the keep it clean family have a blessed day so here's the thing gorilla I can appreciate thinking about the future but thinking about a head coach and change two years in advance seems a little bit arbitrary man we have no idea what's gonna happen yeah super super early but we appreciate the question young gorilla next question came from my boy William J he said what's up in Graven how are you bro I'm just going to get to it because I think this is an issue that is haunting the Ravens and maybe keeping the Ravens from making that splash deal of course we all know Ravens don't make big moves unless it's a cost conscious move but maybe Eric the cost his hands are cuffed just a little because of that infamous Earl Thomas 10 meal uh dead money wonder what moves would be made if the Ravens didn't have the cesspool contract looming over their heads anyway that's my question let me know what you think about that and as always stay safe love you bro love you too William um so go ahead do your thing I would have to hop on Twitter to verify this but Brian McFarland uh at Raven salary cap said something about that contract they would have had to not sign Earl Thomas at all for them not to have this money hanging over their head now granted the grievance is still going on but I don't think Earl Thomas is going to win and I don't know enough about the salary cap to speak on how that affects their their cap but if you look at it from a objective standpoint they had enough money to make a decent move the question is like how much money are you going to spend for a guy like say Kenny golly like if his asking price is 18 million a year which it was are you willing to spend 18 million a year for a guy like Kenny golly that's true so there's I think there's more to it than just the Earl Thomas contract I think the Ravens have always been about right player right price and I know a lot of fans are like well sometimes you have to go get your guy your guy wasn't there Alan Robinson got tagged he was the guy Chris Godwin got tagged he was the other guy Kenny golly is a tier below them so if Kenny golly is who he's referencing I would hesitate on throwing something at Eric because to be visited inside yeah and I know yeah I was looking at the Raven salary cap looking at his tweet as well in that because I forget a lot of times about the whole the Earl Thomas grievance and that there's a possible it's possible that those guys may have to pay Earl Thomas that money right I don't I don't see it happening but we won't know till we know until it's official but that does make sense as to why they would I mean normally they like you said right player right player right price they move carefully already but with that Earl Thomas money possibly hanging over their head maybe they just keeping something to the side as just in case money so they don't get caught up so you actually had a conversation with him yesterday mm-hmm yeah okay so yeah it does look like it still has implications all right so I mean I guess it was a good question I just feel like in the grand scheme of things that amount of money is not going to make or break them maybe this year for for sure where they have the lower salary cap and everything but overall I'm not sure you know five ten million dollars is is really that much of a boon to a very detriment to the Raven salary situation next question came from a guy rodeo he said my guy with NFL agreeing to add another game to the season could this help the Ravens in an unforeseen way I could really be looking way too deep into this but hear me out we've had thousand-yard rushes in recent years we haven't had a thousand-yard receiver since Lamar has been here Hollywood and Andrews come close every year because they are our top two options when it comes to throwing the ball but with Greg Roman having help at coaching the United States telling Baltimore they have to not only get better at throwing but to throw more and this extra game we may finally be able to have a thousand-yard wide receiver or two if that happens of course free agents may not be afraid to come here as a wide receiver having a thousand yards puts them in a certain bracket stat wise what do you think you can go first okay so I uh that that's an interesting way of putting it I never thought about it like that when I think about the 17 game schedule I think about it a lot of records just getting ready to be demolished but it won't hold the same weight as a 16 game schedule if that same record was demolished so with this yeah Ravens receiver could get over thousand yards now especially with an extra game but at the same time depending on uh how the Ravens do hopefully they will be in this case where they have that option but the Ravens could be in a position to where they can rest some starters it's not a normal thing that happens with the Ravens like last season the way that the schedule went that's a lot more normal for the Ravens than it was in 2019 where they were 14 and two and they were just coasting we weren't used to that but it could be where uh even if Ravens receiver gets a thousand yards yeah people could look at it like oh yeah oh that's great they get it they got a thousand yard receivers now now looks better but at the same time people could also look at it on the other end of the spectrum and be like oh it took them 17 games for their receiver to get a thousand yards like what kind of offense is that right at that point when you're adding the 17th game I think you start looking at the deeper stats like for one yards don't mean anything without scores at the end of it so I would rather have a 700 yard receiver that's scoring eight nine touchdowns or you know an 800 yard tight end that's scoring 10 touchdowns than I would a thousand yard receiver that's scoring five touchdowns like yes I know you need the yards to get to the touchdowns but at the same time like thousand yard receiver great who cares like it's a fantasy football stat to me you want to look at the deeper metrics what was he averaging per game did he have really good games and then really bad games or was he fairly consistent every single week what are his what's his yards per target yards per out run your receptions are you catching the ball more than you're dropping it what's your drop rate what's your what's your touchdown rate so on and so forth yards don't really matter to me I get everybody loves the flashy numbers and this and the third like oh we have a thousand yard receiver can city at a thousand yard tight end like it got them to the Super Bowl granted but what did he do when he was in the Super Bowl consistency is what's important to me while I would you know I'm not going to be like I a thousand yard receiver like get him off the team at the same time like I don't think it's the end all be all and I'm not sure that it solves the receiver was in Baltimore then you I mean it's just a guy that has more stats because there was more games I think is the the long and short of it is that's the only reason it would happen in Baltimore and I'm okay with it I am one of the few that believes that you can win with a strong run game and a strong defense in the postseason as long as you can figure out how to call plays correctly next question came from my boy omg he said I engrave and hope you and your family are doing well haven't seen a question from subscribers since last September so I thought why not dust the cobwebs often ask you this I don't know if you are a mock draft guy but I have probably done about a couple dozen mock drafts recently and nine times out of 10 Rashad Bateman gets taken and this could be a possibility in the actual upcoming draft I know a lot of Ravens fans want him to be our ideal guy if the Ravens pick wide receiver in the first round I haven't been a Ravens fan for too long now but from what I am hearing the Ravens love to hog to as many draft picks as possible and will most likely not trade up earlier in the first round from their 27th overall pick spot so to mentally prepare us Ravens fans for the disappointment uh of on draft night when Rashad Bateman is off the board and Ravens do go for a wide receiver who would you like as the night the next option uh disregarding if they are fit for our team or not I like Teris Marshall Jr. Kaderis Tony Marry Rogers and because of his connection with T-Martin Sully and Timorian Terry sorry for the long email I would also like to throw this question out to all of the team keep it clean members and ask them on their opinions down in the comment section below I'll keep up the good work love your content and work ethic and stay safe and hashtag in EDC we trust so I'm gonna let you take this one all day every day because I know you are the the the draft guy so if Rashad Bateman isn't there what's the next best option none of them oh Teris Marshall might be a first Teris Teris Marshall might be a first round pick like he's maybe on the edge of it but he's a move receiver the Ravens need a guy to play the boundary and only play the boundary and be a possession receiver and be a true ex receiver Teris Marshall like oh he ran a 4.38 LSU's pro day is held on a really fast field that guy runs he plays like a 4 4 6 maybe which not bad but not great either so like Teris Marshall is move receiver you use him for matchups he's what like 6 3 to 110 pounds like he's the guy that you're going to use for for matchups you know you put him in the slot against a nickel quarterback or you get him on a linebacker you're not necessarily just going to keep him on the outside edge which granted now you have Sammy Watkins I can do that and you have Hollywood Brown I can play in the Z Amari Rogers is not a first round talent and everybody likes him just because of his connection to T Martin but if you like the connection to T Martin then you can get an ex receiver in round four and his name is Josh Palmer and he's really good. Who else did he say? Teris Marshall, Amari Rogers, Cadarius Tony also not a first round talent he's the second round guy maybe a third round guy you know he had some flashy highlights at Florida but he's not better than he's definitely not better than Bateman I don't even think he's better than Teris Marshall I don't think there is a next best option for round one if Rashad Bateman is gone I mean unless if something crazy happens and DeBonta Smith J. LaWaddle or Jamar Chase are available but Rashad Bateman's gone then sure take one of them but if we're talking like the first four being some order of Smith, Waddle, Chase and Bateman there's nobody after that for the first round there isn't one you either trade back or you take best player available which would be like a Trevon Morig or you know Aziz Ojalari, Jalen Phillips, something like that. There's an Aziz prospect focus article coming out today. Alright next question came from my guy Inanik he said engraving I just finished watching your latest vid or latest vid at the time because he sent this on March 28th he said the video about do we bring in Antonio Brown after signing Sammy Watkins and the Lamar and Hollywood South Florida connection came up because you know I love it. We know Flacco hung out with Todd Heap then Dennis Pitta and maybe a few others when he was here however Joe did what a QB should do and that's target a guy down the field. Oh look I've got no proof that Flacco didn't hang out with Anquan Bolden, Tori Smith, Steve Smith senior Derek Mason, Jacoby Jones, Ray Rice but Joe didn't need to have a guy as part of his crew to throw him a pass. My question for you is do you think the need for a tight off-the-field connection is a problem full of more in the Ravens passing offense moving forward. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts congrats on 40k appreciate it. You should be proud of the community and culture that you foster keep up the great work appreciate that Inanik. I will um yeah I'll start this one. I don't think it's a uh you said do you think the need for a tight off-the-field connection is a problem for Lamar and the Ravens passing game moving forward. I don't think it should be. I don't I can't say that it is um I know one of the biggest things that we look at uh when it comes to the passing game um is is Miles Boykin or the lack of targets that he gets the lack of connections that he has with Lamar Jackson those two are just they just not on the same page like ever right um with Miles Boykin I uh they you don't see any videos of them hanging out or anything like that you don't see any videos of them off the field or anything like that but I think one of the reasons why their connection is so bad is because I just don't think there's trust there. Lamar just does not look like he trusts Miles Boykin and I think it's come from when Miles Boykin is targeted that it just something always not always but enough time something has happened to where things go like terribly wrong and then I think Lamar has seen enough of that to where he's like uh he doesn't even look for Miles Boykin half the time and there could be times when Miles Boykin is wide open but Lamar won't even be looking his way because I don't think he has trust for him. Now I would Mark Andrews who's on the opposite end of that spectrum I don't ever see any videos of them hanging out together and they have a great connection uh he's from jump from when Lamar came on the scene him and Mark Andrews they've had that connection from jump so I can't say that it's a uh a lack of off the field connection that would hinder Lamar from really connecting with his wide receivers but I think it all just depends on who it all depends on uh Lamar seeing the field a little bit better uh it depends on the offense using guys to their strengths and really putting guys in positions to where they can succeed and all depends on those guys too they'll work ethic as well the route running if they can get some separation uh it's just a mix of things but I don't think it has anything to do with the off field connection. So you know what the wild thing about Miles Boykin is? What? So from charting his games uh the number of their percentage of catchable targets he had was about 67 percent of his targets were catchable okay that's not a great number he caught about 58 percent of those catchable targets also not a great number but that makes his true catch rate like if it was adjusted close to 86 87 percent so like Miles Boykin has the talent I don't know what the disconnect is there um but he has the talent and it's so frustrating to watch because you're right there are times that he's wide open Lamar Jackson doesn't even look at him and that part's on Lamar completely on Lamar because it doesn't matter what has happened the past before you need to show your guys that you have faith in them and toss them the rock. I don't think having an off the field connection should be part of your game if you don't trust the guy because he's causing interceptions like Rashad Perriman fine if you I had to get that in there if you don't trust the guy because he has a crucial drop in a game against Tennessee like Seth Roberts fine but you can't not trust your wide receiver because you don't hang out with him you don't ride around the car with him so if that is part of the problem that is a huge problem but that's on Lamar shoulders it's not on Baltimore shoulders the end statement there is that it should not play into who you are throwing the ball to you need to get everyone involved otherwise you are stimming the offense and you are causing a huge problem as the main guy on the offense. Next question came from my boy Akil he said what's up in Graven I've been watching for a while appreciate it he said and at the present I need to become a Patreon I ain't no pressure man if you want to that's fine if you don't want to that's still fine don't don't pressure there's pressure get his Patreon. He said but do you think the Raven should take a chance on right tackle Isaiah Wilson he's going through a hard time in his career and this gives me damn wall of vibes I don't know the details but I feel like we could have held on to him I feel like we should not make this mistake again and pick him up for cheap and give him some time to better himself so Akil said he wants the Ravens to bring in Isaiah Wilson um and this would I mean assuming that Orlando Brown Jr would be traded I um you could do that but you can't put all your eggs in the Isaiah Wilson basket yeah you can't like bank on him all right you can't bank on him to be like okay this is our guy at tackle this is who we're moving forward because you saw what happened with the Titans you saw what happened with the dolphins you can't bring him on and expect your team to be like this savior team you're like oh yeah okay we revived this career we're gonna revive his career there's no doubt that we're gonna get this thing done and he is going to be our guy okay you could uh no I'm I'm no you can't do it yeah I'm I'm all the way out on that first of all a person has to want the help for them to accept the help Isaiah Wilson is not at that stage of his life uh there is a lot about him that makes me think he just wanted that rookie contract so he could just live out his days and do whatever he wants like he's out here dancing on cars and breaking car windows and like doing all types of crazy stuff like I get it I get the the upside because of the talent and everything like that but one you don't want to take the shot and two you risk bringing a cancer into the team and you cannot afford that when you're in the middle of your your Super Bowl window I would rather take a shot on a guy that has uh you know that's coming off injury like Mitchell Schwartz or something like that or I don't know maybe draft one in a historically deep draft because offensive tackle is pretty deep interior offensive line is ridiculously deep so if you and the Ravens are pretty good at drafting offensive linemen so if you're going to take the shot you take the shot in the draft or you take the shot with a proven vet like Mitchell Schwartz or something like that uh or I I don't know maybe keep Orlando Brown who wasn't top 10 in pass block win rate or run block win rate in 2020 at left tackle let's face facts Orlando Brown is a right tackle period he played well at left tackle he's not in the top 10 category maybe he just I understand it's his dad's dream for him and everything like that but at some point dude like you're gonna make more money playing right tackle over the course of a career anyway and right tackle is just as important as left tackle these days because defense is removing their past rushes around all the time so right now we have Orlando Brown until we don't have Orlando Brown. The next question came from my guy Adeep he said uh my first name sounds like how it's spelled uh anyway got you he said ain't great even long time subscriber first time asking the question what area do you want to see the offense improving the most from last year for me it's third down fourth down and red zone efficiency in 2019 we were the most efficient offense but we lacked the talent to go to the championship game this year with the new coaches and walk and signing I feel like we have more talent in the wide receiver room than in 2019 if we can use what we have currently on the roster and return to the efficiency that we had two years ago I think that we could go further I apologize if this is a long question just wanted to hear your thoughts so from Raven's offense what what is the biggest improvement you want to see from the Raven's offense moving forward or right off the bat I don't think you need to see a huge improvement in third and fourth down because if the Raven's offense improves you won't be in a lot of fourth down situations um so like asking for them to improve in third and fourth down like yeah I get it yes I would like to see them improve there too if they're in those scenarios but the biggest thing I would like to see them improve in would just be and this is kind of a cop out but just kind of in general play calling needs to be better uh concentration drops need to go down um yards of separation needs to go up the average yards of separation for anybody not named willy sneed uh was abysmal willy sneed by the way was what they call wide open on 47 percent of his roster 47 only guy that's the guy we let walk to Raiders hollywood brown I think had uh 1.7 average yards of separation mark andrew's had 2.1 uh myles boykin actually had more he had 2.3 um so separation routes or something that I would like to see worked on I think sammy walkins will kind of help with that as far as uh taking attention and opening up separation and whatnot especially as if he slotted in as the the quote unquote wide out one um I think that kind of opens up marquee's a little bit and everything like that so that helps um so I think row running is honestly going to show a bigger improvement than people think it will uh to the overall offense so I think that's the biggest thing that I would like to see especially out of like t martin like teach these kids how to run routes so they're not getting their legs tangled with the db every time they make a break um so I didn't think about that until right now but I guess route separation would probably be the biggest thing for me because you start doing that and everything else improves oh and come on with the illegal formations yes that see man I was like okay I'm surprised he didn't say my answer yet but that that was mine was be the uh the pre snap penalties it was like there was a point in where we reached where we we just expected it every single game and we knew they had to get at least like two out of their system every single game with the pre snap it was like a nine game streak it was ridiculous yeah man it was bad but so that that would be one of my biggest improvements another one for me would be the consistency of the deep ball uh there were a lot of opportunities that were missed with the deep ball um and there will be times where there's a lot of times with hollywood that's why I say hollywood should have had a lot more yards than he did have because there would be times when hollywood he would blow pass a defender and lemar would either over or under throw it um and I would also say with lemar the uh the quick decision making and not necessarily be to be locked on to one wide receiver but to make quick decisions and really be sure of himself uh one of the examples are where one of the biggest examples from last year for me where I saw that lemar was unsure of himself uh was in the game against the jaguars jacksonville jaguars uh ravens came out they were moving the ball down the field on the first drive of the uh of the game for them first offensive drive moving the ball down the field and it gets to the point where lemar he drops back hollywood he's behind the uh the defenders in the end zone it's two defenders on him he's behind both of if lemar throws it boom it's touchdown but he hesitated a bit and still hesitated a bit and then he threw it in a section so it's um lemar overall it's a very good decision maker but it's it's some of those decisions where it's like you really got you got to trust your arm so I would say that and also um taking a bit a bit more of the check downs too because I know a lot of times where lemar he's he's goals for that big hero play that superman play that big play um but there may be a check down that's available right there you know lemar he wants to move the ball down the field of course any quarterback does but sometimes you got to just take what those uh defenses give you and I think that uh lemar should do a better job of doing that um and I would say for as far as the offense too as a whole this was more so with coaching of course you know lemar you know he can do everything he can do all the stuff he can pass he can run all that but I would love to see where because we definitely uh use all of lemar's talent we use it obviously use his arm not not as much as they should but they use his legs a lot I would like to see to where we really do that same thing where we try to maximize using players talents with other guys yeah so with uh and especially guys like a Devin Duvenay they they do it with hollywood they definitely use him in angels but and they they do it with the running backs too but with the wide receivers I would really really really love to see those guys like Devin Duvenay and Sammy Watkins and then even Pro Shade Boykin too just see those guys and I know it's only so many balls to go around but I would love to see to where those guys talents really get maximized as much as they possibly can and when you're talking about a guy like Duvenay like he should have been used more last season and he wasn't so I agree with you there the thing about the check downs um Gus Edwards has really improved he's uh one of my knocks on JK Dobbins coming out of college was he needed to improve his hands so yeah yeah uh so I agree sometimes you need to take what the defense gives you the other part of that is I'm not sure that their hands are there yet uh Gus Gus more so than JK for sure and Patrick Ricard needs to work on his hands as well you need to have that option um you also need to have a good underneath guy hopefully Devin Duvenay is going to be that guy this year um but it needs to be there and you need to be sure of it which goes back to what you said originally uh about Lamar Jackson feeling sure of himself you also need to be sure of your guy oh yeah I like that next question came from my guy uh Doc Zenith he said what's up love the channel appreciate it man he said what do you think about Orlando Brown trading Orlando Brown Jr to the dolphins uh for their pick if Kyle Pitts is available um I do not see I don't I don't envision any scenario where a dolphins one of their first round picks uh I don't envision any scenario where they would trade for Orlando Brown Jr with one of those really really high first round draft picks I mean I wouldn't be mad if they did but I don't see that happening and then the Ravens taking Kyle Pitts now that that would that would be something right there man Kyle Pitts and yeah that would be sick but I just I I just don't see it happening man it's inconceivable Kyle Pitts has gone by pick four the Falcons have had like 12 zoom meetings with him at this point like it's probably the safest pick in the draft outside of Trevor Lawrence at one like if you're mocking it's Trevor Lawrence at one Zach Wilson at two I don't know at three Kyle Pitts at four. Next question came from my boy Dray from Hawaii he said I want you to look at some film on my brother and please let me know what you think I really will be happy if we drafted him he will be a steal I think we will bring back lj for it too what do you think um and his brother that he's talking about is from Arkansas state uh Jonathan Adams what do you think about Jonathan Adams okay um actually I have some notes here oh perfect and why he's looking up those notes about bringing lj for back I love the idea of bringing lj for back but also like you have to understand that the young guys need to get their reps and they are they're pretty happy with how Chris board has come on so you have to let and I love how Malik Harrison uh came on last year a lot of people I think are underrating what he's going to be um Patrick Queen had a lot to work on Malik Harrison is very good at the role that he is being asked to do he was on my list of ex receivers um I feel like he has an attitude problem which I absolutely love not that he has an attitude problem but that he plays with an attitude problem and I absolutely love that if you have an ex receiver you want them to have that mean streak and just kind of like get out there and punch guys in the mouth uh to go and get the ball but I also think that like he's also a downfield threat so it's a weird paradigm because he has this attitude and he can go up and he can high point the ball um and he wins his contested catches but you can also get him down the field so I think that's a nice combination of like size speed strength um I do think that he has issues he's got a few issues as far as uh route running um he wasn't asked to do a lot of that Arkansas State um I've seen him run three different routes uh you need to run the entire tree as an ex receiver in the the NFL I also think that he has some issues with uh concentration drops I don't think they're that blatant um but I know he definitely has some so if he works on his hands uh route running is going to be a big thing his releases need work as far as foot and hand work um but if he fixes that stuff I mean I think he's going to be very good uh he offers a little bit on special teams um but I don't think he's particularly twitchy enough to be a good special teams wide receiver which is fine if if you're taking the guy to be your ex receiver you don't necessarily want to want special teams so um I mean I don't hate it I think he's probably a late day two early day three guy I mean the fact that he had over 1100 yards uh in he played in less than 10 games because he was out for a couple of quarters he's definitely got the stats to back it up I know you don't get a whole bunch of uh you don't get a whole bunch of eyes on yet Arkansas state but I did like Adams um he's probably in my top 17 ex receivers okay which is pretty good considering how that sounds like not great um but considering how deep this wide receiver class is top 17 is actually pretty good okay but do you think we'll eventually trade Orlando Brown jr for draft capital or for DJ shark or Michael Thomas uh EDC has something up his sleeve hashtag silent assassins I hope you and your family are great and I enjoy the content go Ravens and Lamar Jackson will win MVP this year appreciate it Jay um for shark I don't think shark happens I would wouldn't mind but I don't think shark happens I know Tony Khan got into it on Twitter with that uh the guy CJ Goulson and yet he kept shutting that down but at the same time I was thinking like hold up why is Tony Khan continuously going at this random guy and I was thinking man like why even waste the energy going at this random person that said that this trade was in the works and it just it just had me thinking a bit like does that mean that it actually might have been ripped but anyway um and Michael Thomas I uh I don't think that one happens either uh I know Saints are doing a lot of um they've been trying to get under the well they obviously under salary cap now but they've been trying to get a lot of additional cap space but I don't think Michael Thomas is um is gonna be uh traded now last year if you'd ask me that I did think that he could have been traded last year but this year no I don't I don't see it happening um but as far as Orlando Brown jr I said this in a video I think from yesterday well when you're seeing this video maybe from a couple days ago but I if Orlando Brown jr doesn't get traded uh before the draft or if he doesn't get traded on the first night of the draft then I don't think he's going anywhere and I think that every single passes uh Orlando Brown jr has a higher and higher chance of staying uh Baltimore rated yeah I that's I said that as well and the whole uh OBJ for shark thing didn't really make sense to me because if you're getting Trevor Lawrence right and you have all this cap space and you're trying to build something you have all this draft capital and you're trying to build something in Jacksonville why would you get rid of your number one wide receiver because you're automatically hamstringing uh Trevor Lawrence at that point yeah and he's always right and people are like oh well they can just get another one in the draft to the hit rate on a guy like DJ shark in the draft is not great so it makes no logistical sense for the Jaguars to trade for Orlando Brown when they can they have enough picks where they can just draft an offensive tackle and if they don't feel great about that one draft another one so there's no reason for them to to trade for a guy that's going to get a market level contract at LT just doesn't make sense um I agree with you that each day that passes Orlando Brown is more than likely going to stay uh Baltimore Raven that is not to say that he won't be traded at Deadline um but again doesn't make sense for the Ravens to trade Orlando they have all the leverage first of all second of all they are right smack in the middle of a Super Bowl window you don't you have Ronnie Stanley on one side Orlando Brown on the other like that's a really good situation to be in you don't just trade that away because oh I'm getting a second round pick for it no you're going to give me a couple of first maybe a player that I want if you think this is a market level left tackle that's what the going rate is period I mean look what I now granted it was Bill O'Brien so this is a little bit of an overpay but look at what what Claremie Tosso got when he got traded he used it you know what I mean so the Dolphins are still building their team off of that yeah so if it's not that kind of package or something close to it sorry but you're at right tackle I don't know what to tell you plus somebody brought up this point like what if Ronnie Stanley's not ready for a weak one that's true are you comfortable with like Tyree Phillips and uh I don't even know who would be on the other side at that point if OBJ is gone and Ronnie Stanley's still injured then you have Tyree Phillips and what DJ Fluker Ben Bredeson like who's playing tackle at that point you can't hamstring yourself by getting rid of OBJ just to make him happy he doesn't have the leverage he I hate to put it this way but he can just sit and chill and chill something happens worst case scenario he leaves in free agency next year see that's that's something that I didn't think about um would be if if they got rid of Orlando Brown Jr and Ronnie Stanley still wasn't ready to come back yet right that that yeah that's scary to think about yeah then you're gonna crush your franchise quarterback if he gets injured then your whole season's a waste and goodbye Super Bowl window and last question on this episode a question from subscribers came from Tanja she said hey good morning Graven hope you and the family are great I was at work and watching first things first and they talked about Sammy Watkins being injury prone and how he might not be reliable for Lamar Jackson I feel a little better about Sammy being a Raven because the analyst mentioned that Sammy tweeted this is going to be a season to remember so to me it seems like he is all in plus the analysis said that we still need another receiver because we can't rely on Sammy Watkins I agree and guess who they said we need to get Antonio Brown could it happen I will be done maybe it's just a dream have a great day your friend Tanja um so yeah that's that's what I said as soon as they signed Sammy Watkins even I remember the video that we did when it came out that the Ravens were even interested in Sammy Watkins I said if they signed him I feel like that can't be it man because he hasn't played a full season since 2014 his rookie season yeah and you you just you love the upgrade and hope that it works out and I mean I can't really um I know he did say that he was all in and that he was tweeting all this stuff about the Ravens but that's a team that gave him his opportunity had he went to another team he would have been tweeting all the same stuff correct but I am I'm hopeful for what he can do and I hope that he can stay healthy it's going to be that much harder now especially because they added a 17th game so I was like oh man but um with Sammy Watkins I it's just a lot of hope my expectations not that they're low or anything but my expectations they're tempered I don't expect him to come in and just all go off and just explode but I do expect him to be a uh significant contributor to the offense especially since it's an offense that he uh should be able to pick up on quickly since he ran it before some years back um but with with him I just I don't feel like this should be it like the Ravens should be like okay we're done that's it we're finished I feel like they should still invest in another whether it's via trade whether it's via draft whether whether have or they get it I feel like they shouldn't be done so I completely agree with you because as soon as they signed Sammy like I tweeted out right afterwards like the Ravens still need a true X receiver and they do whether it's through the draft or a trade or or whatever I mean you want to trade Orlando Brown over to uh to Chicago give us that one Robinson cool with that uh you want a draft or shot Bateman cool with that too Josh Palmer Nico Collins absolutely let's get it Sammy is not an X receiver um even if he does stay healthy for the entire season um they need a bigger more physical imposing presence uh to take attention off of whoever is on the field at the time plus what people aren't thinking about what if Sammy stays healthy but somebody else gets hurt what if Marquis and I'm not trying to put anything out in the world but he's fast dude fast people tend to have leg injuries uh you know if they don't probably take care of themselves and on top of it he's little so what if something happens to his leg he's got a sprain for a few weeks who do you have then then you have Sammy as your fast guy and what Miles Boykin Devon doing a James crochet are you comfortable with that have to get another guy absolutely have to um I don't want to say I have no faith in Sammy but show me you can stay healthy your range of outcomes more likely he is going to get injured then he isn't going to be injured due to his past history now I don't know that he's injury prone a lot of the things that have happened to him seem like freak accidents and there is a huge disparity between freak accident and being injury prone so uh I would have to take a deeper look at all his injuries and how they happened and and you've kind of come up with a conclusion after that but I think she's right you can't have the faith in Sammy to be there for the entire season until he shows you that he can


As stormwater washes over a landscape, it picks up everything that is there. And that includes pet waste, it includes oil and greases, litter. So a particular health concern then would be untreated animal waste. And when we get a lot of stormwater flowing into river systems and stream systems, we can increase the amount of pathogens. Those are disease-causing organisms. The recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and the Environmental Protection Agency are to avoid any contact with floodwaters. Because of what we just talked about, those floodwaters are carrying all sorts of pollutants and contaminants that we don't know as of yet. If you do come into contact with those floodwaters, wash your hands with soap and water very well before you eat. If you have open wounds, don't let that floodwaters get into contact with them. Just exercise great caution if you are in an area that has floodwaters. If you're on a municipal system and your service has been disrupted, be sure to find out if the water is okay to drink. In some cases, the water will be just fine. In other cases, that municipal system will issue a report to tell you whether or not the water is safe to drink through boiling, through it's fine, just go ahead and drink it from the tap water, or hold off and don't drink it. If your private well system gets overtopped, you should first be very cautious that there's an electric supply system to it. Be very careful of going out and turning that pump supply system on if the water is still flooded. After the floodwaters recede, it's good to go out, take a look, run a check on your system, see are there any cracks. If it's been overtopped, you will absolutely want to have either a professional water test done, or you can collect a sample and send it off to a lab yourself. But the recommendation is have that water tested before you drink it, before you bathe in it, before you wash any clothes in it. The Department of Environmental Management has a current list of labs that have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for bacterial testing and also contaminant testing and chemical testing. The Auburn University Water and Soil Testing Lab is also able to provide some tests. We do worry about drinking water for pets and for livestock. If there's been an event where you are concerned about contaminants getting into your drinking water, take a pond sample and again, consider taking it to Auburn University's Soil Water Test Lab and check with your regional extension agent. We have pond agents who can help talk through what those pond samples should look like. And of course, we can work with you to help understand what those ranges that are optimal for your livestock are.


Welcome back, it's the breakfast in Plostivia, Africa. Stanford loves to go through the pages of a national daily. As we call it off the press, Tunde Kuala Wale, a legal practitioner, stands by. Tunde, it's good to have you join us this morning. Good morning, my sister. Hope you're all good. Very well, thank you for asking. We'll take a look at the leadership. We'll start off with the leadership newspaper this morning. The caption here says, 2023 CSO's kick against consensus as mode of choosing candidates. That's what you find. It's a bold caption as we head to 2023. Slam political parties for subverting popular will. Say consensus violate aspirants rights and will undermine 2023 elections. Consensus wouldn't give you presidency. Sunny tells Igbo. Well, it's really interesting to hear this argument shortly after we have the electoral act as amended 2022 and giving president to the issue of consensus as well amongst other choice. You also have President Mohammed Buhari asked NAS to raise fuel subsidy to four trillionaire for 2022. Once oil benchmark at $73 per barrel. Away from that, you also have another caption saying outrage over fresh 15% levy on Tocumbo vehicles. Insecurity resigned now not in Elder's Tale President Buhari. And just before we move away from the leadership newspaper, APC national chairman Deputy Vacate Senate seats that's also on the leadership. And Easter federal government declares Friday, Monday, a public holiday and not for everyone. I mean, not for us. I mean, it's not like we're going to experience all of that. But happy holiday to everyone who will be holidaying.  These are the stories on the leadership newspaper this morning. Away from the leadership, our next spot of call is the nation newspaper. More appointees reside in state over electoral actor with a right there. Governors in first section 84, subsection 12 in Ondu, Quara Plateau, Aqaibom, others. Other stories on the nation newspaper. Presidential ticket, why APC can't use consensus? That's on the front page of the nation. More stories. Terrorists ask for millions of Naira ransom on train attack victims. Oshun, Ainek Claes, Oyetola, Adelike, 13 others. Legas to begin issuance of driver's license. Ajeep-lined sabotage cuts. Okay, Ajeep-lined sabotage cuts gas exports. Could oil production clips to 1.354 MBD? Buhari deplores heinous killings. Autumn calls for self-defense after a murder of 10 in Benway. North elders condemn worsening violence. And just below the red strip there, inheritance dispute. Court orders Ndubisi Kano's weeder to serve amended summons. Those are all of the stories you can find on the nation newspaper this morning on the front page that is. Let's quickly take a look at the punch newspaper and find out what's making the headlines quite almost similar, a little bit different from what's been reported. PDP consensus suffers setback. Zoning panels submit reports. And that's the board caption. Underneath, there are several riders. Disagreement over zoning, best candidates, hindering consensus plan, as what the party leader is saying. And Pitao B's aid lease condition for backing consensus. I take who busy with campaigns. Should there be campaigning or lobbying at this point and speaking, you know, we should have... You have one rotation to say it in other words. Yes, I don't know, but campaign would really be, you know, against a violation of the electoral act. Away from that, I can defend APC says, we can, I beg to take that again. I can defeat APC says, we can, that's the governor of reverse state. And Sarah Kim meets Abiyo governor once again dumping consensus. 6,000 plateau attack victims displaced, Buhari condemns killings, of course. And Oshun, INEC releases final list. Okays, Oyeh, Tola, Adeleke, others. 25 killed in fresh bandwagon attacks, governor calls for self-defense. Self-defense. Army visit father of Oshun, man tortured to death and height killers identity. Osinachi, that's the artist that was killed. Suspect says wife will, a wife ill before death, and please verify the claim. Rejection of the UTS will prolong strike, says Asu. Federal government to introduce online tracking for passport application. And the vice president, six senators support, invite APC reps. And just before we move away from the punch newspaper this morning, Niger's oil production crashed by 444,000 barrels in March, says OPEC. Kidnap train passengers not insured against terror attacks. Federal government officials are quoted to say, I mean, this is not an empathic statement to make. Northern elders be more in insecurity and ask the president to resign. Nine banks made 554 billion narrow fees commission in 2021. These is according to a report and these are the headlines on the punch newspaper this morning. And the final paper we are reviewing is the daily independent newspaper. Rising in security, Northern elders ask Buhari to resign, say president can't secure Nigerians. 2023 presidency, why Buhari gave blessings to Tinibu, Oshibajo, Amici, others. I've not dropped my presidential ambition for Senator Umaid is quoted as saying, federal government rejects 2021 world press freedom index says Nigerian press among words freest. Buhari asked Senate to increase fuel subsidy to four trillion Naira. Nigeria's crude oil production dropped to 1.354 MBPD in March, that's according to OPEC. Atma nodoya the head, issues 24 hours ultimatum to Adamu APC chairman, reps bar appointment of customs CG from outside service. During the five persons queued in fresh attacks on Binway community. And the final one this morning, Adamu Kairi resigned from Senate, Senate passes controversial Peace Corps bill. Those are all of the stories on the front page of the daily independent. Tunde Kola, well it's good to have you join us this morning. Thanks for having me. So let's have the conversation with the punch newspaper on the top corner of it. It talks about the Northern Elders asking the president to resign over insecurity concerns. I mean, it's not really in our culture or in the practice, our political environment to see leaders at every level, not to talk of the president resign, but what do you make of this? Well, I think the call by the Northern Elders forum is not out of place. The second cognizant of the performance of President Muhammad Buali which regards to arresting the state of insecurity in the country. A few days ago, Professor Wonshu Inka was also in the media where he said that President Buali lacked the capacity to relate to home and deliver to Nigeria a secure society. He also recollects that some weeks ago, President Muhammad Buali was rejoicing that in less than one year, he will soon be called a next president. When you review all these situations that I have mentioned, the impression that you get is that of the man, is that of the president, who is tired, who has admitted that there are no longer solutions to the challenges of insecurity in the country. I also remember that we mentioned on these our programs when a lot of people were making the noise that they should change the security chiefs. That once you change the security chiefs, the possibilities are that insecurity might become a thing of the past. And I argue that if you change the security, the chief security officer of the country, a hundred times, there is never that little improvement in security in Nigeria. Because we are not tackling the problem from the very roots. I have said at times that the politicians are responsible for 50% of the insecurity that we have in the country. Then you have also the service chiefs, who are there so many to be profiting from this insecurity that we have all over the land. It appears that this security is a way for the security chiefs to make their own money just like the politicians are making money in the arena of politics. But if you're going to have an improvement in security, you need to tackle the problem from the roots. In particular, with regards to what is happening in the business state and the cardinal state, I want to say... Tunde Kola, well, let's get back to this now. The Northern Elders are asking that the president should resign. We understand that we have 36 states of the federation, of course, including the FCT. That would mean that you have governors who are responsible for the estate. Why should the call be on the president to resign? Well, I agree with you. When you look at the security architecture of Nigeria, you and I would say that the governors have little or nothing to do with regards to providing security for their people. If a governor wants to use the commissioner of police, if a governor wants to use the director of GSS in their respective states, they have to take clearance from Mr. President. They have to take clearance from the idea of police from the commissioner of GSS, from the army chiefs, and what have you. Besides, like I said some other time, the security chiefs will not obey any order from any of these governors without being instructed to do so. It is for that reason we think that even though the governors take old security votes on a monthly basis. And we also do know that those of them who are serious, not like we see in the Lagos environment, where the government in Lagos has been proactive in establishing a security outfit and then a mode of financial security outfit such that they have a security transform with which they are enabled at least, so to say, 70% to manage the security environment in Lagos states. One would have expected that the governors in the other states should replicate what is happening in Lagos states in their respective states. But instead of doing this, they are not doing it. Look at the governor, Sanfara. Just last week, he went and bought the machine for the air mares and the pre-street air in Sanfara state. He had also in the past bought and presented gifts to bandits leaders, to leaders of the bandits groups, for them to sell bandits. That is his own understanding of solutions to the insecurity in Sanfara state. So, if we want the governors to be able to perform with regards to security, they probably would have to revisit the issue of state police, of local government police, of people universities having their own police. We also must revisit the issue of having a very strong local government. The local government is supposed to be the best bedrock of our defense, our first line of defense when it comes to security. But the governors are beside the local government and nobody has been able to call them to order. If President Mohamed Buwari would not resign as the other leaders are saying, as most people in Nigeria are saying, then if you have the National Assembly to impeach him and also impeach the vice president, because both of them are committed to innumerable impeachable offenses since they got into power about seven years ago. So, look at just this week too, I think a few days ago, the chairman of the Lagos came out of commerce while addressing, I think his members and others was whipping, not just with regard to the pilot state of the Nigerian economy, but the insecurity all over the federation. Benia has become a chemical, Kaduna has become a chemical, and somebody somewhere in Nassau Rock is rejoicing that in less than one year, it would become an ex-president. And then you also have directors of DSF, directors of DSF, commissioners of police, are not the different unmeaning and near-false chiefs who are just helpless in the face of this security in our country. All right, Boris, I call it because of time. Let us move to other stories also making headlines. So let's move on to the leadership and newspaper. 2023 seems to be on the lips of several people, politicians, Nigerians, and CSOs, and so many. Now CSOs are kicking against consensus as mode of choosing candidates. And from what we have been filling the body language of some of the political parties that we've been hearing or been perceiving talks of consensus for the presidential ticket, what's your take concerning this? There is no internet democracy. And most of the political parties that we have in the constitution today, the political parties are the ones who are expected to encourage, who are expected to teach the electorate the culture of voting for a candidate of their choice. But to find out, most of our political parties want a quick-trick solution. So whatever challenges our problem that they might be having internally, in order to execute rank call within their rank, they go for the peace of the Grape Act. And on to the internet democracy within the party. On to the party's begin to allow people, allow their members to vote whenever there is an opportunity to let their flag be harassed whenever they are going to have their censure or their men in their convention. They will not be able to demonstrate to Nigeria that this democracy is growing, that this democracy is workable. What we have now, like I said, is a situation of the Grape Act. And we should not throw out the baby with the past water, just because we want a quick-trick solution to whatever dynamics. Voting in party primaries, voting in conventions will generate agenda of the day. But when you surprise people's aspirations, when you ask people to come and take form, and they take this form with millions of naira, agenda of the day, you say you are going to use consensus. You have many surprise these people. You have made them unhappy. You have put an anger within the rank and file of the members of the political party. Sooner than later, those who engage in those negotiations, those dissentatements will blow out. And the things that you have either wanted to get will evaporate in your very face. So we should condemn, in all its ramifications, this culture of consensus among all the different political parties, especially the leading ones. Today, Kola Wale, I'm a little bit concerned about the sincerity of this civil society organization. We understand the back-and-forth with that section of the Constitution. I mean, the fact that the president was, there was a lot of back-and-forth with altering that particular clause. And at some point, you had the fact that that section of the Constitution, 84, was accommodated. And then, of course, it includes adopting the direct, indirect, and the consensus. So I'm wondering how, you know, where the civil society, yes, we know that we're speaking, but to what extent do we have their impact and influence on some of these issues? Because it feels like we're just going in circles and we're asking for almost the impossible at a time where we had the opportunity, you know, to exact that influence. So what's the essence of talking about it now that is now becoming an act? Because, you know, the Electoral Act 2022 has accommodated the issue of consensus. Well, let's see. I think you have been very generous with words this morning. We are not moving in circles. It's all in motion without movement. We aren't moving anywhere. Well, with regards to section 8412, I think I'm in support of Mr. President. That provision of the Electoral Act is a very, very selfish one, very, very selfish. The people who are in the legislative arm of government merely wanted to use it to deny their fellow politicians an opportunity to participate effectively in politics. Furthermore, we already have provisions in the constitution which says that appointed political officials to resign at least 30 days before they participate in any election. I should want to say that that provision is sufficient to take care of whatever anxiety, to take care of whatever ambitions that the people in the National Assembly may have. Because when you look at it, like I said before, nobody gets political appointments. If you are not either a member of a political party, a supporter of a political party, a financial of a political party, or even a friend of any of these politicians. So in a way, there isn't any difference between the people who are appointed and those who get elected as politicians. They are all playing the same game. And all of us cannot be in two places at the same time.  I think that provision should be removed from the Electoral Act, rather than level play England. And another to allow these political appointees to enjoy their rights, their freedom under the Nigerian constitution to participate effectively in politics without the left or England. It might just be a little bit too late for us now, looking at the timing of the elections. Well, the court has already had them, that provisions of the Electoral Act done. All, if I were the president, required to do is to summon the political party, the leaders of thought and the national assembly to allow the attorney general of the federation. It has found that the provision from the Electoral Act, the Nigerian World Reform Commission is also empowered to do it. But to find out, the people in power today are never proactive. They never have a long deal of history that's too comfortable with the literature they're doing. They never want to stress themselves to get a better result for all the folks at the nation. All right, Vice President Kulawoli. Let's talk on all the stories still on the Pontchart newspaper. This time around, there are several stories. Let's just find one to pick here. Oshiba just six centimeters support invites APC reps. The vice president is still making consultations here and there, concerning that he's a presidential bid for 2023. Well, these are very, very interesting times. With regards to the ambition of Mr. President and the lifelong ambition of Mr. Kinobu. The vice president, you mean the vice president? No, both the vice president and the Oshiba leader, the so-called leader of APC. Their ambition, presidential ambition, in a way, there is a kind of a tangential relationship between the aspirations of those two people. So, but with regards to the vice president, I would say that under the Nigerian constitution, he has the right to aspire to become a president, and certainly have him become a vice president. There are very few people who have been vice president in any country that will not one day dream of becoming the president. It is his right. But when you take a costly look at history, the number of vice presidents who eventually became president, are not very many. It's not very good. Very few of them ever get to become president. If they are the president in whatever country or desert, they may find themselves. But what? In Nigeria, Oshiba Jama is setting the precedent by suppressing his boss, which is Mr. President Boali. When I was referring to the actual view and vision, either the individual and the social media and the newspaper, all sorts of divergent views with regards to the aspirations of Mr. Vice President. Some sit as backstabbing. Some sit as treachery. Some sit as a betrayer of Mr. Tino Buu. And because Mr. Tino Buu nominated him as Vice President and eventually got it. He also got to be contested against the same person. Some people even refer to him as the son of Mr. Tino Buu. Even Mr. Tino Buu has come out to say that he doesn't have a child who is as old as the Vice President who was part of the common president. The implication of that is that both of them are already so involved as themselves. And their supporters are already fighting parties on the pages of newspapers and on the social media. But let's give it to the two of them that under our law both have the right, a fundamental right to aspire to become president. But the truth of the matter is when you look at those two candidates, none of them is fit and proper person to become the president of Nigeria. For Mr. Oshinbato, he has been president. And on our law, the constitution shall do with the responsibility to manage the Nigerian economy. As we perform well with regard to the money mails in the Nigerian economy, the answer is no. Under his watch, under his supervision, the Nigerian economy has totally fallen.  A lot of persons have said that the office of the Vice President, is that a fallow worship? I mean, he has to follow the lead of the President. And if you also follow the trend, you probably would have seen a bit of a conflict at a time where the President had left a certain time outside of the country where he transferred powers to the Vice President. And afterwards, it's been a big deal because a lot actually changed in his absence. But not to dwell on that particular issue. Let's really move away and look at the issue of field subsidy and the fact that we might just be up for more spending for us. Now the President has asked the National Assembly to approve from what we were supposed to have, subsidy for 2022. We're looking at 442.72 billion Naira to 4 trillion Naira. That's a lot of money. A colossal sum of money. Now, let us assess if we find ways and means to raise that 4 trillion Naira. From where? I'm pumped into the repairs of the comatose refineries that we have all over the country. We will not be better off as a nation. I think we'll be better off. Now you are borrowing money in the way, or so to say, to buy food, to eat. Instead of borrowing money to kill the grass to cultivate agriculture, to plant your own food. That is the implication of the move that Mr. President is making of trying to borrow money, 4 trillion Naira to subsidize petroleum products in the country. In my humble opinion, that is not a relation in which this government shows the movement. We would rather fit ourselves out of fish than depend on other people to feed us. At least Mr. Dandotty has shown that building a refinery is not rocket science. If an individual can build a refinery and numerous immense plants all over the country, why would a nation of 200 million people not be able to run for refineries or thereabouts all over the country? The reason why they don't want the refineries to work is very simple. If the refineries are working, they will not require again or they will not have the opportunity to be imported petroleum products. And when they don't have the opportunity to import petroleum products, they will not be able to export Nigeria's money to send out dollars with which to go and search to provide property and send their children to school. That is a simple logic. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why we should not be able to maintain same building refineries in this 21st century. Furthermore, with regards to what you said about Mr. Shimbachal, you see only three. He is a very good speaker. He went around the country when most of the time when the president is not around, so he has tension. And I tell you, the calendar Nigeria has today require somebody who knows the nitty-gritty of economics, not a marketing, not showmanship, not only three, not excellent in debate, but as the vice-president has. The fourth is he contested. The vice-president has tried several times and several days and been able to find solutions for that problem. Also, Nupa, at his repose of the period you mentioned, I challenge you journalists to go and check the kind of contrast that we are watching when the president was away for six months, also check most of the people that he has nominated for either the minister, so the ambassador, so the members of Parastata. Each time he had dollars, had opportunities to nominate people for some of these posts. I think the so-called integrity, the so-called property, the so-called lack of corruption on the part of the vice-president is a rule. It doesn't have the wherewithal to manage Nigeria. All right, thank you so much, Barista. Thank you very much for all of your input of the press today. We do appreciate your time. Thanks for having me. All right. It is still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. Away from all of the press, we go back this day in history and see what actually went then, and when we'll come back, we'll be bringing our first discussion on the table to join us again.


Favorite products of 2020? Let's go. Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. Yay, my favorite products of 2020. So this is an interesting day for me because I'm going to come out and accept that I have trouble letting things go. I'm super loyal, super picky, like all my flaws are coming out in this one video on this one confession because first of all my HD list doesn't change all that much as you guys know and I try to keep it tight like I try to just stick to like really my favorites like I really can't choose between anything here basically so I try to just do the best of the best and keep it as tight as possible so that's part of why it doesn't change and clearly I have a problem letting go because a lot of things like I will still mention them as my HDs and they haven't been sold in a while so I'm promising you guys from next year that anything that hasn't been sold in the last two years I'm going to let them go and stop mentioning them and let them go from my heart. I mean that's step two but at least I'll let them go from my lips okay I promise you guys from next time I'm going to try to do better but this year especially like a lot of brands that have really good things just decided to stop selling like why you all do that these brands hurt me when they do that they really hurt me because it's always my favorites that they look to get rid of why I'm going to accept I'm going to accept it I'm going to make peace meditate anyway this is getting really off-topic like that's all on the video like for real but okay let's get started so the first one that I'm going to add to the list is the inasi soothing men sulphate free gentle cleansing shampoo you guys know I love the shampoo it is so moisturizing and so cleansing and the mint is so soothing so it's just perfect it smells like heaven it smells like mint chocolate chip it forms like so cutely like I saw bubbles when I was using it like bubbles in the air like it was magic it was a nirvana experience so if you want super clean super moisturize like slip slip after rinsing it was just everything this is my favorite list so that's gonna be how this is gonna go but clearly I love this it is one of my hg shampoos and I want to say right now my number one hg shampoo I want to give it that title right now this is my main squeeze right now yeah I'm literally my main squeeze because I squeeze it anyway anyway you guys know I love the blue rose creamy rose shampoo but I'm no longer going to be mentioning it not after this year I'm just mentioning it as a goodbye goodbye blue rose cook a rose shampoo you haven't been sold for two years and I'm gonna let you go the basket blue gentle herbal cleanser so I love this this has a nice herbal scent it's not exactly shampoo levels and it's super moisturizing it is very cleansing but it feels like a coat wash to me like a cleansing coat wash but moisturizing amazing everything it just isn't quite as cleansing as the anasty so if you don't need it to be super cleansed this day because I don't always pull the anasty either it just depends on how dirty my scalp is my situation so if I don't need like my tier one cleansing I reach for this they both leave my hair like really super moisturized and defined for some reason like this definition isn't necessary in a shampoo and I don't like fake definition as in definition where it feels like the particles sticking it together as opposed to just your clumps clumping so don't give me the fake definition but if my curls happen to pop well hey and if my hair happens to be like defined and kind of more laid as opposed to frizzed out well hey I definitely don't have a problem with that as long as this is the real deal I'm not feel like if product is making it stick together is it the tangle and plush to feel like help kind of situation this does say self a free shampoo and I would call it a shampoo because it's definitely more than the coat wash but it feels almost like a coat wash it's so gentle I don't think I would want any one of them without the other so that's why they're both mentioned I love this but I wouldn't want to use this every week I would want if I want a gentle to use this so I kind of want both in my life so that's why I wear my hair so my shampoo this is pretty short as you guys can see even though I've tried lots of shampoos I guess recently I'm trying more this year so hopefully I pick up some new loves this year we'll see you guys know last I've seen this year like if we're in 2021 already you know what I mean and I think I might keep saying that should I I don't know whatever you guys know what I mean if I say this year I'll talk about next year I mean next year I 2021 yes forget that one more week I got on my spaceship okay because I just want 2020 to be over so you guys know that 2020 wasn't that great of a year for me in terms of trying out new products other than she sent it Ujjuri and Gorgeously Kinky which are all kind of similar brands everything else I tried was like fear to find to hex no to help to scream so my list is very similar to last year other than mentioning those brands that I just mentioned spoiler alert so on to co washes Camilo's natural caramel co wash is still my number one number one in co washes just because it just blows my mind and there aren't a lot of products that blow my mind I have tried hundreds of products and maybe about 20 blow my mind out of like 500 or something I don't know let's say 250 out of 250 maybe 20 blow my mind and this is one of those because it's just insane to me how clean my hair feels and how moisturize like it's the perfect like I said all in one if I could only use one product total in my hair I will use this because this for me is super cleansing for a co wash but it's super moisturizing conditioning defining and everything so I can imagine if I had to this would be the product that I would use to cleanse and then like just leave in or something it would be this because it's just amazing I don't know why and how it's so amazing but it is it's just that old Camilo's pink line moisture like I find this is the best Camilo's line to me for me for my hair so it's that old pink line moisture with some great cleansing in a great scent it has the cocoa protein for cleansing but then it has like the aloe vera juice and btms and glycerin and caramel for moisture but then it has like the hydroxylated cellulose and wagam for definition so it just trying to do everything and it somehow manages to do everything so this is a dream and I haven't used it recently on my channel I'm gonna go back and see if I can find a video with it or I do want to probably just do a old school throwback and do Camilo's like yeah if I had to do an old school throwback it would be this Camilo's pink line one of my first lines and my first loves in terms of like natural hair brands now for the co-wash sister wives I have the she-centred dream tea and ginseng co-wash and the she-centred blueberry co-wash so I love both of these I feel like the ginseng one is slightly leaves my hair slightly cleaner and that's a lighter feeling this one the blueberry co-wash leaves my hair clean as well I'm just kind of a more moisturized like conditioner type like conditioner type feeling so again it kind of depends on what I'm in the mood for I haven't been co-washing lately I used to co-wash kind of once a week and shampoo every couple weeks but then I got into shampooing every week so my eventual dream if somebody would just give me a million dollars at an after like work anymore my dream would be to do like a midweek co-wash of these kind of things and then shampoo once a week that would be like goals I just never have the time to live that life like I wish I could do my hair twice a week I just wish I could just don't have that kind of time but one day one sweet day and I do love these co-washers and then the blue rose beauty so berry co-wash is also one of my favorites this is just like super cleansing super moisturizing it has like a light fresh clean happy set I don't know how to describe it I can kind of mentioned chalk if you like to eat chalk I guess not me I never ate chalk but if you like a chalk eater and chalk did it for you it has like a really light fresh powder like talc not fragrance but just talc or chalk so I want to say that this is probably the most cleansing of the co-washers that I mentioned I love my co-washers to be balanced I don't want it to be too moisturizing I'm not cleansing enough I don't want it to be too cleansing and not moisturizing enough so all of them are pretty near the balance but this is on the kind of clean to the clean side whereas the ginseng co-wash I think is right in the middle and then the blueberry is like oh to the moisturizing side and the caramel co-wash is like oh to the moisturizing side I won't really necessarily have to describe this she-centered sense because you guys know the plum nectar I gave is kind of more fruity juicicles is kind of more fruity but most of them have a kind of fruityish candyish center that's like the she-centered scent on everything smells amazing but in that range and then special mention to the she-centered passion fruit and flax like charcoal scalp detox this is like my favorite scalp detox it's not really like a sub in the co-wash categories my favorite scalp detox but it's like my only scalp detox so I guess if I had a scalp detox category which I guess I do now this is my hg in it and it's my favorite this one made me run out of the bathroom screaming because it was so amazing my hair was clean my hair was moisturized my hair was defined I felt like if I did a clear treatment but it was a lot less messy my curls were popping this was amazing it felt like if I didn't need to deep condition I'm here this was like amazing yeah check out the review video moving on to deep conditioners my favorite hg past deep conditioner of 2020 is now no longer sold because gorgeous looking excited to redo their whole brand but I'm gonna include it anyways because this was another mind-blowing experience the pomegranate agave moisture boost hair mask this deep conditioner is my only 10 out of 10 deep conditioner ever on my channel ever in deep conditioner so I had to include it it's not sold anymore I do want to try the new line they didn't have a black friday sale I'm expecting they will have a sale in the new year for sure and I'll be on it like white on rice trust and believe don't watch her big moustaches because I'm buying it like gorgeous to the kinky and sultanicals especially gorgeous to kinky will see me for sure next year sultanicals also if they come good I might get the few things I want to get I mean moustache is starting to look real big but because I haven't put away my black friday stuff yet we're not mixed we're not put everything together it might be a lot but gorgeous to kinky is still getting a buy because it's only like pretty much just a wash day I mean well in the wash day but you know what I mean it's gonna be like four things I'm gonna buy or something I'm buying it because I want to see if this new the new deep conditioner is just like this one or just as good we can't have a 10 out of 10 and just let it go bye bye definitely I love this 10 out of 10 is she best deep conditioner of the year my number one in deep conditioners so the deep conditioner sister wives would be everything she sent it and you guys know I always say everything she sent it in terms of like deep conditioner because I love that she sent to deep conditioners and they are like the best deep conditioners out there minus this gorgeous the kinky she sent this next in terms of amazing she sent it was like my nine out of 10s pretty much I just wanted to mention them by name because usually I just say everything she sent it let me put some respect on it and mention them my name I love the plum nectar and agave hair mask I love the passion fruit and flax hair mask the juicy curls hair mask like is the most moisturizing hair mask in the world this is more moisturizing and I go to sleep kinky this made me feel like if I was underwater that's the only way I could describe how moisturized my hair is you know if you're underwater and it's just full of water full of moisture just floating silky this was that so if you're looking for moisture definitely give this a shot like let's say this is like 11 out of 10 on moisture go to sleep kinky was like a 10 out of 10 on moisture and a 10 out of 10 on slip whereas this may have been like an 8 out of 10 on slip and you know how I like to apply my deep conditioner just all in one go and rake through so I don't really tangle with it but I like to rake through with it so I need the conditioners with slip and of course like I said this isn't my issue this it had great slip it was just like a little bit less than the go to sleep kinky in terms of slip I guess back to more sister lives these are like nines in terms of moisture and in terms of slip and this is the panga and pear restorative hair mask so it says restorative for the super moisturizing like I don't even think about protein when I'm using this although it does have some hydrolyzed wheat protein at the bottom and then the she sent it rich moisture mask which is like one of my I wouldn't say my first but my second love I don't want to talk about it banana brulee because I'm trying to be better and let things go but after the banana brulee went away there was this for a long time as my favorite like this on the cool moist before she came up with all the new stuff like if you've been using she sent it for a long time you know this was the stuff and this is still awesome so I want to do some she sent the videos and that's the one I like flod you guys when she sent the videos because I have so much she sent the person I love them but I don't want to just be doing she send it all the time I want to show you guys some variety and she ain't paying me either now I can't ask her to pay me but she isn't paying me so it's like I don't want to become a total she sent a channel but I could be because I love she sent her that much and the last moisturizing hair mask I'm going to mention is the basket blue and brown me with hair mask so again this is like a nine out of ten for me I love the moisture I love the slip maybe I don't like the scent as much as she sent it stuff but I'm going to have to give it a little extra bonus points because of all the Ayurvedic ingredients and you know I'm trying to get into a little bit of Ayurvedic ingredients I did buy some Ayurveda but other than the high discuss I've been kind of lazy to really do the mixing lazy I'm busy to do like mixing so my soap nuts is sitting there whatever else I have is sitting there unused I think about Amna too so buying products with Ayurvedic ingredients really allows me to have the best of both worlds I do want to get back to my DIYing one day now I want to mention hair treatments the Okra Hairy Hairy Tentive Mask Amini I already love or I already love I'm sure you already love she sent it for moisture but her kind of adding a little bit of Ayurveda and come up with a little hair retention stuff it was just like take my money I love it I want to see more of it it's just gonna make you even better and you're already so great so blow my mind and bring out some Ayurvedic stuff don't mind if I do it does have some like garlic and black pepper and other things as well but I like that she's dipping her toe into Ayurveda and scalp treatments in general of course it's moisturizing it has great slip it smells great but I love the fact that it's a hair treatment as well so you guys know I love Okra and then she has like the garlic and the black pepper and the Amna and stuff and I really love where she's going with this I don't know if it's my main hair treatment because I usually do the chai hair tea for shedding she says that the garlic should help with shedding so I have to research whether garlic or green tea like which one helps with shedding more of course blue rose beauty I haven't even seen chai hair tea being sold and I'm not too ready to steep my own tea that's true but I haven't done it in a while I haven't needed to because I had the chai hair tea but if that's not being sold anymore and if this control shedding then it's kind of win-win it's a rising star for sure this blue rose beauty chai hair tea has like the green tea and the molasses and it really really really works for me instantly by next week I have less shedding and I love that it's moisturizing and everything as well not sure why this bottle is looking so tragic but I'm still going to mention this killer rich in marula and keen more damage control reparative hair conditioner because it really blew my mind the first time I used it I haven't really used it much in 2020 just maybe once because I haven't been doing protein treatments that much anymore I don't feel like I need to if I keep using the conditioners with protein at least maybe every other week or every month for sure and also I'm using the Giovanni smoothness a deeper moisture conditioner for detangling and this also has protein this has like hydrolyzed soy protein between using this every week and using like some one of those deep conditioners with hydrolyzed retail keratin or collagen or something at least every month I don't feel like I've needed to use like a separate protein treatment so I may or may not continue to buy these but I did film it and it was amazing you guys I just never had a chance to put it out so I may either show you that real old footage or re-film it and show you but I really loved like this this blew my mind so that's why it's still here because my hair was like this and then after I like use it it was like this like it just bumps up bumps back it really rocked my wool I'm gonna definitely try to use it and show you guys so you guys can see what I'm talking about with this one so that's it you guys glad I was able to bring this to you let me know if you guys use any of these products or watch your favorite products from these brands or watch your favorite products from 2020r let's chat what's the best the best down below thank you guys for watching see you in the next one bye


Amy and I both grew up on ranches. We got married right out of high school, owned a business within a year of that. I was working full-time construction and she was busy taking care of the general store, the Stoneville store. We are in Union Center, South Dakota. It's about 50 miles east of the Black Hills. We're definitely out in cow country. We have four sons and ten grandkids. The ranch where we live now came up for sale in 1984 and we purchased it. We'd already had a business here, the Comac Ranch Supply Farm and Ranch Supply Business, and the gentleman that owned this ranch came to me one day and said, you need to own this place. I couldn't agree more and so we purchased it in 84 and then since then we've we've added on to the ranch I think six or seven times. I currently serve in the South Dakota Legislature in the Senate. I chair the Agricultural Committee and people ask me why did I get involved. I started out as a county commissioner and moved on to served in the House of Representatives and then I've served several terms in the Senate. I've always been involved in the Ag Committee. To have people that are producers and have a good understanding of the workings of agriculture, have a good understanding of conservation efforts and that the the say the cost-share money that ranches get or farms get for their efforts. It's an effort that's going to benefit every single citizen of South Dakota and it's going to benefit every citizen of the U.S. in one way or another eventually. We always thought that we would like to have a cabin in the Black Hills or in the woods or something like that and not having the face to think that I might be willing to forego an opportunity in and do that sort of thing. I thought we better start planning our own forest right now and we did that the first of them 30 years ago and we have a we have a forest. I grew up planning the trees you know the one place we call the forest. I planted that when I was in the eighth grade helped put the drip irrigation to get those trees going well and now I get to walk through them and you know you have 28 30-foot towering pine trees so it's been fun to see the transition the benefit for the wildlife and you know it's just beautiful to see something green in the dead of winter when it's a whitens in the winds blowing across the prairie. We've planted 30,000 trees and 100 years from now the only thing that the evidence of Amy and I being here is going to be the kids in the trees and the wildlife the guests. The guests would be deer and bobcats and coyotes and fox and skunks and coons and big mule deer and whitetail and antelope and the hundred different species of birds that most folks never see. The two biggest things we've done are adding the water systems to get water out into more remote parts of the range we get more even grazing and better utilization out of the range that we have and also the rotational grazing systems especially the one where we we took 1800 acres chopped it into 13 different paddocks and we do a once-through rotation the bigger pastures will get ten days the small pastures will get five to seven days and we've been able to increase the caring capacity on that particular piece of range by almost a hundred percent and we're growing more grass with a better diversity of range species than was there before so that's been pretty awesome to see that transition the plant population is greater than it was before the cattle do better you know it's not hard to implement the system the fencing the fencing is is definitely an input cost but moving cattle is a very simple process we'll go out there they're ready to move we open the gates come through close the gates get good harvest efficiency and that plant species is grazed at a different time every year so you're not grazing those early season grasses at hard every year that particular paddock will have about 400 days of rest every single year and it'll only have cattle on it for five to ten days so that's been an interesting experiment and it's going very very well whenever we can we take the bale processor and feed over the top of areas that are scarred by cattle trails or erosion that sort of thing and and what we found is that it heals those areas it cuts the the healing time by 80 or 90 percent unbelievable so really does well that way and the other thing we've done recently is we've just set a complete round bale in an area where we might have a monoculture of grass that isn't the most desirable price and read is a fine grass but there's a lot of times of the year that the cattle won't eat it so if we set a bale of that in the middle then and change the the nutrient profile of the soil then all of a sudden you have some western and some things starting to come through that so the reason this food security and water quality is available for us to enjoy every day and air quality is because of what farmers and ranchers are doing when it comes to conservation efforts and and caring about the land and making sure that everything is better today than it was yesterday and better this month than it was last month and better this year than last year
