Today, on the breakfast, as the effect of the Naira crunch bites harder, socio-economic right and accountability project, Sarah has filed a suit against President Mohammad Abouhari over the unlawful directives banning the use of old 500 and 1000 Naira notes, contrary to the interim injunction guaranteed by the Supreme Court. Also on the breakfast, in the wake of all economic crisis, farmers in the country have scored the administration of President Mohammad Abouhari low in tackling the nation's current food crisis. What do we have in our hands? We'll also be reviewing all of the biggest stories on the front pages of national dailies in the country. Welcome to the breakfast in Plosti, Biafrika. It's a beautiful Monday morning. I am messy, trust you had a wonderful weekend, we're reaching your life from our studios right here in Victoria Island, Lagos, and usually we start our conversation with top trending. But just to remind you that it's a power week, that's what I call it, because this is the weekend where Nigerians will head to the polls to cast their votes, and of course elect who becomes your president on the 25th of February. So fingers crossed then we'll be bringing you all of the coverage and reportage that you need on this channel, 408 and DSTV. But we head straight to talking about what's happening and what Nigerians have been talking about. Now, number one is that Zainab Khasima, her former special assistant to the president in the office of the First Lady, has sued the president's wife, Aisha Abouhari, demanding 100 million dollars as damage from her and other respondent. Zainab filed a suit for enforcement of her fundamental right against Aisha Abouhari. Other respondents in the case include the Inspector General of Police and Department of the State Services. Zainab claimed that some Department of State Services officers, that's DSS, acting on the orders of Aisha Abouhari abducted her purportedly and took her to the presidential villa where she was severely assaulted and dehumanized and abused. Nigerians have taken to different social media points, especially Twitter, to react about that. And they say that, hey, Aisha Abouhari is not different from Abouhari, I mean, it just shows you the level of disregard for fundamental human right and what have you. But, you know, it's been to you that's in court, apparently, there's a suit case to that regard. I would just cross the fingers and see how all of that pants out. But like I always want to say that you are human being before you're anything, so before you begin to give yourself the tag, so before you're associated with everything, you're first a human being. And that's important. And as a human being, it's important that you act as a human being. Respect for one another, human life or lives, you want to say, treat people as they should be treated, not like animals. I even think that animals are treated better than the way we treat humans for whatever reason. But this is not, you know, very commendable, especially with those who are highly placed, we're yet to see how all of that pants out, especially now that, you know, that has been taken to the court. But we move away from that. Another top trending is that following the, you know, the non-availability of the Naira, the cashless policy that was introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, which has been in full force, it has triggered a sequence in cash circulation and leaving traders and buyers in some parts of the country. For instance, in Lagos, you know, they were stranded with many of them now resorting to traditional sale as a means of survival, trade by butter. Well, this pattern involves that you have an exchange of goods or services between traders and farmers without cash payment. And so that has become like a means, fooling all of the lingering cash shortage that appear to have taken very firm routes with the Central Bank, insisting that the owner of the 500, 1,000, a long, longer illegal instrument in the country. I'd like to leave it at that and not also to, you know, look at the presidential speech, the presidential address at the time where he talked about the fact that just 200 Naira note is very valid right now, as we speak. I mean, 200 Naira note is what can be used. So if you still have 200 Naira, that's the only note that can be used in the means of exchange or exchanging in the course of transaction. However, you want to put it right there. But 500 and 1,000 is no longer illegal tender in Nigeria. And I remember having this conversation with my, with, you know, someone very close to me. And he had suggested that as a means of survival, because if you look at this policy, it would probably hit those who are at the grassroots. And so people would have to find a means of survival and resorting to that. And I'm quite surprised that this has been the case. There's also another video. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that we have what it takes. We have this video. If we do have it, I'd like that we roll it immediately. The survey that made also the round over the weekend asked to a young man who went to buy rice. So he had a detergent. Apparently he owns a shop. So he took his detergent to the lady who sells food. And the detergent was worth 300 Naira. So he wanted food worth 300 Naira. So he used the detergent in exchange for the food for 300 Naira and that was rice. I'm just saying that this is what it is. But I'd like to bring to your notice that there's a market which is located in a remote village, Esokumbah, in Akpabuyu. That's in Cross River State. It's a weekly market that starts from 7 AM and ends at noon every Saturday. Now what happens in this market is that people come to the market, they're straight by butter. So people bring their goods and exchange for another one. So for instance, I have yam and I want beans. So all I do is I just take my yam to the market and someone who wants my yam would bring what I want and we exchange or however it is. What I fish, that market exists despite, now this is not because of the cashless policy, but this market has been in existence. I mean, it still exists even when we have the Naira as a means of buying and selling. But most importantly is that we have to find a way to survive and so we have seen reports, we have had of stories where people are taking to the street to destroy the banks and cost mayhem and riot and become very destructive and are not peaceful. That does not solve the problem. You want money, you don't have money. It's a means of survival. I mean, we have to find a way to survive. That's what it is and it's very commendable that some people are finding the way traders and people are just finding a way to survive. What is within the legal jurisdiction is still very civil and that's what we say. That there's a means of exchange. You still have the transfer. It is something that a lot of people have not, you know accepted as a means of payment for services and using the POS, swiping your cards and what have you we should be able to embrace these means and patterns of payment in order to survive as much as we call on the government in a very, very civil manner, you know, to act swiftly. Yes, that's what it is. So rather than take to the streets and begin to become very destructive and showing the banks, blocking the roads and causing traffic and just, you know becoming irrational, we rather just find ways and means to survive. So we ask and urge that let's also accept all the means of transaction. Let's also accept all the means where we can make payment without being uncivil. That's the request right here. We take a break and when we return, it will be time for us to go through the front pages of our national dailies. We'll call it off the press. Please stay with us. Good morning.

You know why we're here today Pat McGrath just revealed her new holiday 2022 collection I have been waiting for this collection and it is a lot to digest This is much bigger than I thought it was gonna be and I'm so excited to go over everything with you now before we get Into it. This is just a shopper drop. I do not have the collection in my hands I will be there with you ordering it with you on launch date But I just wanted to go over my excitement my first impressions of what we're seeing Share some of your guys's thoughts and some thoughts from the community that I've gotten Let's go ahead and get into it So we're gonna leave some space over here this Sunday afternoon So I have my chill makeup on for today's video. Let's go over to Pat McGrath's Instagram Let's watch the initial launch video collection together. I haven't fully finished it I've seen the photos on trend mood, but I want to watch it with you guys now This collection is called the celestial nirvana holiday collection 2022 now they don't have a launch date yet, but you can sign up on the website for early access I already have and I will share you guys the details when we have more details But let's see the visuals here. Now keep in mind Pat McGrath's visuals on her website and what she posts online are very highly filtered So that's why I'm anxiously waiting for all of the details to show up on the website So I can really dissect but let's see what we have with what we're given So you'll see immediately. This is a very large collection pink packaging had turned me off initially Okay, pass here. Look at this. Oh my goodness I have some more photos for you to see where we can get a closer look But right up my alley look Pat McGrath still has her signature gold her signature Reddish shades right here, but it's parted into three different kind of look This is the Pat McGrath look right here what she's comfortable with This is what we've all been wanting and it's purple and blue So you know, I'm in love and then we have a neutral one with pop of green I'm very happy with this so far, but let's continue looking at what else we have dying living breathing Over these palettes right here Blush quads and then a highlight now I don't know if these are gonna have new shades or not They are called the divine blush and glow cheek palettes in divine rose and nude varnish Which are shades that already exist. So I imagine that there's gonna be existing shades in these quads I don't know if all of them are gonna be new some of them How they're gonna do that but this looks exciting. This is the first of this format I really hope a lot of them are new shades. It's okay if there's one repeat But as a collector, I really hope they're all new shades So we'll see but it looks like there's one that's more appropriate for light to medium skin tones And then one potentially for more deep That's my guess we'll see as we get more photos and then look at these we have Celestial Nirvana eye shadow palettes. So these are a little 5 p.m. Palettes So not only do we have the classic big one These I'm almost more excited about because these look super a glimmery shimmery This might be what I've been wanting this whole time It looks like we have the gorgeous Glimmery shades from Pat McGrath. This one right here looks stunning. It's nude, but this one is more neutral down here Pumped about these. Okay. What else what else then we have a blush and a highlighter with a crazy embossment Looks absolutely adorable So the blush is in the shade new Venus too and the highlighter is in Venusian nude and then we have Collection of lipsticks right here. It looks like this is a nude Venus Lipstick and then this one is Forbidden love and then we have the velvet cool eyeliner, which is back this came out with the Bridgerton collection and Then there's more I will show you but this is kind of the main stuff. Oh my gosh. I love this visual You can kind of get a better idea. I don't know how much it's filtered But I think this is the perfect combination of Pat McGrath Getting what she wants in terms of shades that she loves as well as what the Pat McGrath fan has been asking for in terms of Just getting out there a little out of our comfort zone here So I'm excited about this. This is exactly what I had envisioned and wanted in a holiday palette From Pat McGrath. It looks stunning. It looks like there's a lot more mattes in this one compared to last year's last year's It was very heavy on the shimmers, but I'm excited about these two here in the center Oh here you can get a better look at the blushes and these I really don't know what's going to be new and what's not But I'm gonna pick up both of these for sure Mmm Noodle lore looks stunning, but I want both. I'm drooling over this collection This is definitely my favorite holiday collection. I've seen and she really went all out. You can kind of see the different packaging here Okay, and this is what is also new that wasn't in the first half of the video Colored mascaras one of you guys said something really funny that I'll share when I go over the community thoughts But okay, I probably won't purchase any of those, but that is the collection. That is the reveal I'm so excited. Luckily a trend mood has some still shots for us to take a look at and of course photos that we haven't yet seen So I thought this is a really great photo of the entire collection I don't think I'm gonna purchase the whole collection It depends on how the bundles are right now We can't see the bundles on the Pat McGrath website because I don't need this guy right here because I already have it from the Bridgerton collection and I haven't used it yet by the way I don't know about the lipsticks yet if I want them or not It just depends on how things are bundled, but I imagine this is gonna be like a five hundred dollar bundle I don't know if I want to do that yet I will I want to but I don't know if that makes sense for me and my budget But I definitely plan on getting the big palette blush palettes these palettes Potentially the blushes. I don't know if I need the individual blushes and maybe you know What if the individual blushes are in here? I don't know you guys the highlight I'll get cuz I love that. I mean This is a big collection. She really went all out. I knew she would she normally does for the holidays But I feel like she definitely took it to the next level this time I'm so excited. This palette is so much better than last year's I did not really care for last year's and I can't believe now. She normally does the big palette with like a couple quads I love that she changed it up and did a quint. I really do now. There's nothing on prices We have no information on that when Pat McGrath updates her website I might do another video depending on when she does it and how much more information you have But I can't wait to see the prices on this Pat McGrath has slowly been increasing her prices So I imagine she'll probably increase the prices on this one a little bit as well But I'll let you know when I know I'm looking at the side. You guys can't see this of what trend mood has to say We have the big mothership mega celestial nirvana palette right here. This has Matt's metallic and metallic sparkles I don't think there's gonna be any super special shades, but we'll see but so in love with this color story you guys This is exactly what I love. I just feel like we have the purples. We have the neutrals It's colorful, but not too colorful. I'm pumped for this I was worried when I saw the pink packaging that it was gonna be pink and it really isn't I mean, yes up here is this is This is divine rose 10 over here, but we have all of these and I'm a happy camper I really am especially for it being on a big palette because it's gonna be so great for beginners to the brand and They're definitely gonna have colors that have never existed in the Pat McGrath line before and then you can see the Anatomy of the palette right here how they Parted it into three different looks blue violet cool a neutral section and then a warm section Absolutely love that. This is definitely from her website. She normally does stuff like this And then we have this celestial nirvana eyeshadow palettes now this has a new formula according to trend mood it looks like it's gonna be a really metallic formula, maybe not quite as sparkly as the Celestial shades that were used to but this looks like it's gonna have like a really slick creamy feel Obviously, I don't know but I love the nude mauvee shades But I also love that there's a true neutral one this bronze bliss I'm equally as lovely both of these like these are my kind of color stories Excited about that and then we have the two divine blush and glow cheek palettes They look stunning. Okay. Okay. Here tells us about the new shades. So this top one. I believe is nude Venus and It's gonna have a new divine rose three blush in here and then sunset Nectar so there will be a mixture of best-selling shades and new shades I'm not mad at that. I wish it was all new but I can totally understand why they didn't do that Okay, and then the bottom one I believe is divine rose Which has desert or get to nude nectar and peony rose at least that's all of the information that try mood can give us I'm gonna give up now that I know that there's new shades in here. I'm gonna give up Okay, and then here we have the sublime skin highlighter in Venetian nude Which is a peach nude with silver sparkles will absolutely be getting this This is normally around $60 from what she's launched in the previous holiday collections I normally love these so I'm excited about this and then we also have this divine blush in nude Venus too Which looks very pretty it's a peach nude with a stain or satin. I don't know if there's a typo here pearl finish Looks beautiful. That looks like a gorgeous nude. I don't know how it's gonna look on deeper complexions though And then the lipsticks. Oh, you'll see they have an embossment in here I'm not too keen on the red forbidding love. I don't need another red lipstick But nude Venus looks right up my alley right are these pre-existent shades forbidden love definitely is I think I have forbidden love So if it works out with bundles, we'll see what I end up with but if I don't get a bundle I don't want this one nude Venus is a nude shade. It's nude coral and it is new apparently So I like that lipstick don't need it. I don't love pomegranate lipstick formula I think it's fine, but it looks like my kind of color, you know, okay, and then here's what I'm like bleh Dark star mascara in these colors. I mean, it's cool. It's pomegranate vibe But is it though now that she's so into like the neutral tones This seems kind of old-school pomegranate when she would kind of play around more with colors Anyways, I will probably be passing on these the dark star mascara is flaky. I don't love it I like it. I don't love it. I don't need it in these colors I never reached for these colors of mascaras, but some people do so if you're into that you have these But I don't think these are gonna be a top seller by any means so I'm not as interested But I love the packaging right and then oh it looks like so we have some New lip trios here. These are good for gifts or if you don't have a large Pat McGrath collection Very nice to build your collection up here like this one looks really good. This is the mini nude Venus lip trio Interesting and then this is the mini. I can't read the word on here lip duo Which looks like it has lip balms. These are always nice to have normally though I find that these go on sale so just keep that in mind you might want to hold on a little bit And then this came out in the bridgerton collection, which I have it I still have never used it you guys, but I won't be picking that up if it's not included in a bottle So yeah, it's not it. That's all we have, right? Yeah, okay So anyways overall, I'm really really excited about this collection. I cannot wait to get my hands on it I asked on Instagram for you guys to give me your thoughts and you guys are the funniest I'm just gonna pull up a few of the early ones that were sent in because early bird gets the worm baby So let's see what you guys have to say so we have a gorgeous. I kind of agree with that. I Like it. We'll be buying as the first mega palette that you own This is a good one because it's so different from the rest of her line I feel like especially last year's in particular that one you could get if you owned a lot of other Pat McGrath palettes the color story up. This one is definitely a little more unique The blush palette would have been perfect if it had a bronzer I'll still take it though. Yeah Pat. We're waiting on those bronzers It would have been more of a versatile palette absolutely, but yes, I'll still take it though. You are right We're gonna stop digging around the bush. Where are the bronzers? Well, I would have put money on you. We're gonna get it this summer since bronzers were so popular But of course summer's over. We don't have bronzers. So maybe next year kids. Maybe next year I love that all of the color Pat McGrath is not offering on the luxury palettes or in the holiday ones I mean, I wish she'd offered them in the luxury ones, but I'm happy that we are at least getting them in the holiday ones Right pinks again, or is it just me? I mean there are some pinks.  I'll let her have it. I'm happy with what she did here personally I don't know about the mega palette She looks so random love the highlighters blush and six pans So I think you have to look at the palette as three different looks and the three different sections that we saw in that picture Earlier of like a neutral section a warm section and a cool section And I think that will make it make more sense looks like all repeat blush shades So we know it's not but it is a mixture, but how difference can blush looks anyways five-pan eyeshadows look the most exciting You know what I can kind of agree with that. I think I'm the most excited about five pans as well The mascara looks horrifying who would actually wear that I wouldn't I Absolutely love the larger eyeshadow palette the rest of the collection is man for me. Oh, come on the five-paners though Blush and five pans. Yes. No to all the rest large looks thrown together in my opinion Okay, very fair. Very fair. Oh, OMG. She finally gave us color Now we need a mother ship like this. Amen. Mine is that warm side. Oh Nothing really interesting. I agree to disagree Looks very similar to what she released in the last two years It's definitely the same like large mega palette.  We all have been asking for I was preparing for a big palette But the whole collection is insane So what I thought was gonna happen was she was just gonna reveal the big palette because she normally does do a larger Holiday collection, so I was definitely not expecting a launch this big. That's for sure. I'm so happy It's not all pink and then as I'm scrolling through everybody's happy We just got a little bit of color here. The mega mothership is kind of boring But I love the two five pans, but I'm gonna get all three of course It's not all of us. I feel like I always go and this palettes man, but it's time to cast I'm gonna buy it anyways blush palettes look amazing very beautiful and definitely lots of color range to create many beautiful looks And that's what I did not like about last year's palette is I felt like I couldn't get a ton of variety in my looks This one I feel like it can definitely get a lot more variety I think Pat also made this collection viable to those who don't like bright colors I think she did a good job. I really do feel like she found a happy medium obsessed with this collection I'm almost all with all of it. Yes. The mini palettes are exciting. Okay. I think for the most part everybody is Pretty excited about this of course We always have our critiques, but it seems like the general vibe is relatively happy Which the tone would be slightly different. Okay the shimmers and glitters are what we're here for and there seems to be a lot of Mass this time. I disagree. I feel like if you want the shimmer shades the five panners are the way to go She never launches her most popular formula in the mega palettes and last year I feel like we were too bombarded with shimmers where all of my books look the same because we only had like three matte options I'm personally happy that there's more mats in this and the mats are in Colors that we don't have a lot of from Pat McGrath so that kind of adds that variety I can definitely see the side because who doesn't love Pat McGrath shimmers. Anyways, I'm excited for this I'll let you guys know when more information comes out on the prices and all of that And if it seems fitting I'll do a part two shop or drop to this But I am so excited about this collection overall It's the one that I've been waiting and to do this video on because she always kills it and goes there So I will definitely be picking up probably like 80 percent of this collection. We'll see like I said What the bundles are doing I'll let you know what's in my head when I know and let me know your thoughts below on this collection And I cannot wait to hear your opinion So thank you guys so much for liking this video Make sure you're subscribed because I will be updating you on this collection once I get it Once the information comes out all of that. So if you love Pat McGrath This is the place to be and I will catch you guys in the next one And you guys have a good rest of your Sunday. Bye guys. Have a good one


Which half will fit in the middle? Do you like it? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What's it taste like? Tastes like a little cheese. Light cheese. Leaches or something else. Leaches or something else.


Welcome back to Why In The Morning right here on Y-2-4-4 channel as you can find us across all our social media handles at Michelle. Ashira Iso, you can find me across all my social, if it's Wednesday, it's Woman Crush Wednesday. And in this particular segment, we dive into the strength of a woman. And I have in studio none other than Jerry Mwingi, who is a co-founder and executive director of OCQMS. So our topic of discussion, we are looking at the gender-based sexual violence. So we all know that violence against women and girls is one of the world's most pre-violent human rights violation. And that is why we need to have this conversation. And in studio, as I said earlier on, I am joined by Jerry Mwingi, who is the co-founder and executive director of OCQMS. Hi, Jerry. Hello. How are you doing? I'm very well. Thank you. Thank you very much. How are you doing? As well as it can be. All right. So tell us more about OCQMS and where it all roots and form and how you started the organization. OCQMS, as you are well aware, is a Swahili word for do not be silent. Absolutely. And OCQMS was founded by myself and my friend, my co-founder, Stella Kachina. When we started OCQMS, the idea behind it was to bring around the sensitization, the awareness about gender-based violence, what to do in case it happens to you and that kind of a scenario. So we started as a Facebook page to bring sensitization, because especially we started last year formally, we were doing it individually. But formally as a registered organization, we started last year. We felt that there was a need to talk to people, especially young girls, and women who are going through certain issues. Remember last year, there was a lot of women that died. Actually, on the count, had 139 women who died due to femicide, and femicide is being killed by your lover or husband or spouse here. So we felt there was a need to just talk to people and just bring across that love doesn't have to hurt, and you can always have an option of living instead of staying. So it started as a sensitization and awareness campaign.  That's actually an amazing initiative there. I would like to find out from a personal level, have you engaged or have you been in a situation whereby you've been exposed to violence that rooted to you wanting to speak out for the violated people in society? They say one in every three women in this country will go through as some sort of GBV, that's an acronym for it. And yes, in my past, yes, I have been. What was your experience like? Do you mind sharing that? What was my experience like? I was married pretty young. We had no business, both of us getting married to each other. We were both young. I was much, much younger. And yeah, as it is prone to be when, you know, you were not ready to get married or you're not in a position where you should have gotten married, there was a lot of domestic violence. All right. Yeah. What would you say that's looking back right now, would you identify the couple of red flags that she saw in this particular part of yours at that particular time? Let me say this. If somebody hits you the first time, run, sister, run. Don't even look back. There is no changing these people. The idea that I stayed because I thought, ah, you know, it isn't so bad. It's not like as bad as other people, you know, it's maybe once every three months, maybe once a year. But let me tell you, it culminated in me losing part of my hearing. So yeah, so they don't change. They may change for a season. So the first red flag is the minute even raises his hand. That is the minute you should work. Don't wait for what is eventually going to come. If you can't take your things, I'll take your baby and just run.  And how long did you take you and what was the process that you went to just find yourself? Healing is a gradual, it's gradual. You would think you're healed.  And then I'm often times I'm really, really hungry and yes, I've gone through therapy and I've gone through the healing process in order for me to be able to actually help other women. Of course, I've had to work on myself and work on my anger issues. I mean, eventually even got married. So that should tell you a lot of the process that I went through, but it's a gradual process and you should give yourself time. Just like your mourning, you know, divorce and separation is equivalent to almost losing somebody. The only difference is that this person may occasionally pop up in your radar. You may actually see them and you may actually even have a child with them. So there's that constant reminder. Yes, exactly. All right. So let's take it back to when it comes to the family side aspect of it whereby people just get into relationships for probably the wrong reasons because, you know, if you fell in love and all that, then maybe you were involved with a manipulative person, a narcissist and actually don't know all these red flags that are coming or popping up. So what would be your advice for, you know, these young people will get into early relationships? The thing with these people is that you don't know.  You're coming in thinking it's going to be rosy. One of the things that you should look out, there are different forms of abuse. There's emotional abuse. It doesn't always have to be about just being physical abuse. There's emotional abuse. There's financial abuse. When you're getting into this relationship, look, is it a healthy functional relationship? What boundaries do I have? Does this person allow me to be myself in this relationship? Because in a relationship, if I'm outspoken and all of a sudden your friends are telling you, why do you, what happened to you? Why are you shrinking? Why are you changing? A relationship should be about you flowering. You've ever seen how a flower looks like. You know, it's a bud and it's closed up. And if this relationship isn't opening you up and being, you being the person that you're meant to be, then are you really in the right relationship? That should be one of the red flags. Does this person tell you, this is what you're going to do? This is how you're going to dress? This is what you're going to, this is the place you're going to be? This incessant phone calls. Somebody's always checking up on you. At first it sounds like love, like, oh my God, my girl loves me so much. No? Check. Does it really love you or is it monitoring your movement? What do they say that's men are possessive and it's just a way of just... No, we need to stop that conversation of men are, men are not. This person is, stop saying men are, you know that gives people the excuse to get away with things because we put it in a certain way that men are, men are not. This is a person, this is an individual and an individual level is doing this. Don't use this as an excuse to let him get away with manipulating you or taking control of your life. And then there's another angle, whereby you involve the person and they put you in a pedestal and then moment later you are not as good as they think you were, then they dismiss you. Now that is a problem, I'm not good, I don't want to be adored because like every other human I have an Achilles heel and I'm bound to fail, what happens if I fail?  It's in that way and you become vulnerable and then you start beating me, yeah. So how does inequality lead to gender based violence? Let's look at it this way, actually that is the main course of GPV. If, let's say for example you are the person, say in this example a man is the basic provider of everything, that means he has the keys to everything that I need, also in terms of just look at how inequality works, we live in obviously an equal world, right? And if I cannot be able to provide for my kids and provide for myself and I'm stuck with somebody because this person provides for me, not because we love each other, not because there is anything left, this person decides I am a burden. What happens to you? You probably feel like you need to stay because there's no way out. That's it. You lose your own humanity, you lose your own person because you need to be with this person for things that you cannot be able to provide for yourself. If let's say you give everybody an equal platform, that even if today I walk out or the man walks out and I walk out, I can still be able to take care of myself the same way even if no other person was there. Girls need to be given a platform to be able to be the people they need to be. Alright. Whatever mindset should then be changed in terms of the kind of union that we have that if I'm getting married then you know I can forego whatever I was interested in, my interest probably was working. First of all, as society, we need to stop looking at marriage as though it's an achievement. Okay. It's not an achievement. Is this something that happens? Like you are friends, you are not friends. It is not the end of life or the beginning of life. Marriage is just what it is. It's a good thing if it is healthy and functional.  Get children. Get children. Yes. You see, we need to stop normalizing the fact that not everybody wants children, not everybody looks at getting married as that is the ultimate thing. It's a good thing when it works. It's a beautiful thing. But what happens in this particular society where we don't have functional working marriages, a lot of them, what are we telling our children? We are telling our children that we are telling girls that the only thing that they need to aspire to is marriage. Tell your girls to aspire to be scientists. Tell your girls to aspire to go to space. Tell them they can be mechanics. Tell them they can be anything that they choose to be, including being a wife if that is the ultimate goal. But tell them that there is more to life than getting married and being a baby-making machine. Yeah? There is more to it. There is more to it.  There's so many things a girl can aspire to be and change the world while at it.  And then what happens if that marriage fails? Where does that leave that person? But if this person has something else that they have set aside to be and long to be married just comes to just compliment and supplement their existence, not become their whole, you know, everything that they are. All right. Allow me to take you back on the aspect of healing, right? During the time where COVID was just hitting us in the country, then there was the lockdown. Most people got locked down with different people because when we talk about GDP, it could be from even our family members, it could be from partners, it could be from friends, right? And you experience a sort of balance from the type of DBV that you mentioned, verbal, physical. Then what comes of healing? What is the process of healing looking like? First of all, with COVID, COVID brought a lot of cracks that are actually in society, in marriages, at homes, in everywhere. It means we actually, as I said, functional, functional working families, with it, it brought a lot of cracks in relationships. So therefore, to mend these cracks where you're already angry, let's say again, in an equal society, you're frustrated, you have no job, there's no money coming in, therefore you're prone to maybe violence, whichever verbal, whatever violence that is there. Then obviously you hit this person, or in case it's a child, happens at a lot of child during this season, we're also molested. The healing process now for these people depends on individual to individual, as I keep on saying all the time, we need therapy as a nation. We need a lot of therapy. Healing has to come with a self-realization and actualization that I am not okay. I need to start working on my inner person. You ever meet people who are just angry and you're wondering what is the problem You know, it's a small thing and it becomes, and this person, if you actually look at them, they still have a lot of process that they need to work on their inner self. Because they were hurt, maybe as a child, maybe as an adult, you don't know.  And then, even as a person now, this person becomes equally violent. Let's look, let's go back to the Destiny Rescue Center, right? Let's look at the kind of activities that you guys do at U.S. Kimia, that actually promote the fact that GBV is not actually allowed. What are a couple of activities that you actually out there and doing as an organization? One of the things that as an organization is run at home, it's a halfway home.  So for us, it's women who come into the home with their children. They are maybe escaping the domestic situation at home. So they come in, we have counseling, we have therapy. For the kids, we have music therapy, we have art therapy, we have play therapy. They also, every morning, 9 to 12, they have regular classes where they can just learn English and masters to keep their minds occupied, not think about the things that went on at home. We also have yoga and meditative walks. Okay, that's very interesting. Because I've heard you mention a couple of arts for the children. So how do you penetrate to the children? Because it's different from an adult. An adult will just pick up their hat and they'll tell you what they've been going through. But how do you penetrate to the children to get them to get what they've been going through? With children, it becomes easier when you use things like art.  And from there, the counselor can actually look at what they are coloring. The darker it is, that's how you learn.  If they're drawing into dark lines, you know, dark colors, blacks, dark blues, dark browns, then you know that their world is not bright. A child whose world is okay will tend to gravitate towards brighter colors. But a child who gravitates toward darkness means their views have been colored by what they have seen. All right, and how do you get to run the organization in terms of finances? We are self-funded. We have an M Changa number that Kenyans normally give to us, especially on Facebook. That's where people know us from. So we normally people donate to us without. All right, you could just mention the Facebook page so that people can... Our page is called Usikimiya. Usikimiya. Yeah, both on Facebook and on Twitter. All right, on Instagram? Yes, we also have Instagram, Usikimiya. We're just not as active. All through, yeah. Very quite simple that people can easily access. All right, so let's talk about the safety of the survivors and also how can people reach out if they have an emergency. What do you mean the safety? The safety of the survivors in terms of where they are.  They can feel safe. Exactly. Again, as I said, our half-way house is a safe house. It's actually considered as a safe house.  No, we don't give you the location. We actually come and pick you up if you need to be admitted to the safe house. One of the things is you need to have an OB from the police so that it is not that you are missing. We had a very big issue last week so that you're not considered as a missing person. We recommend that you actually... No, actually, one of the conditions is you need to have an OB from the police where you have stated your case and you have reported that you are a survivor of domestic violence or sexual violence. And if you've gone to hospital, we require documents. Most of the times, the women we have and the children have gone through either of these. And we participated in taking... Actually, from here, I'm actually going to pick someone. We go to hospital and then report the matter. And then now we take them into our home. All right. How often do you get the calls? Many, many times. Let's give it an approximate, like, in a period of a month. Ah, let me just give you in a period of a day. Okay. Let's forget about a month. I get between 10 to 15 calls a day. In a day? Wow, it's a lot. It's a lot. Some could be just wanting advice, counseling, or they need to go to hospital. All right. Before we even look at the government and what the government has done in order to rescue the survivors, the victims, that is, in that aspect of GBV. Let's go back to, on a personal level, what can we do to just prevent and bring out the spoken awareness that is in GBV? We need to stop hiding. We need to stop hiding these issues. You know your friend is getting hit. You know that you're getting hit.  I know so many people, myself included, that used to say we've been hit by a door or I fell down the stairs or this and this thing. Reach out to someone. There's help out here. Reach out. I mean, that's very important. Stop hiding, stop covering it up, stop, you know. Tell someone what you're going through. Why is there shame in violence? And you are actually the victim. Yeah. Why is the... That feeling that you are the victim. Yes, that's what we're trying to break. It's the taboo of silence that surrounds GBV. Because it's always made... This is one of those things in life that you are the person who's been perpetrated upon, but you're the person who's always made to feel like it's your fault. Because with normal, you know, it's not working. Must be your fault. Why were you being beaten? You see every person say, when you're in Chapa, why was she hit? She must have done something. No. Even if a thief comes and drops you of your necklace, what did you do to make the thief come and grab it? You did nothing. But somehow when it comes to issues of GBV or even rape, would there be people asking, what was she wearing? Why was she passing in a dark place? We need to stop. It's called victim blaming. And we are very good at it. Because as you said, when you began, you say that GBV is a widely accepted crime. It's a socially accepted ill. We are okay. I mean, see, we always cover it, especially here. We always say, two people that cover themselves in unblanket. I wouldn't be involved. You cannot be involved. If people hide, you get shamed.  This is somebody you've been intimate with. Somebody you have children. It's not just easy at all. You just pick your bag and go. You probably pick your bag, he'll come, he'll talk to you. He knows you. He knows you suit your soft spots and he'll come back. And then people get mad at you for going back. They forget this is a process. I will remove you. I'll even take you to a shelter. I will stay with you for the three months. You'll go through the mandated counseling and there's a chance that you'll still go back to your abuser because you are intimately tied together. I watched an interview with Rihanna when the time she was physically violated. And she said it took her seven times before she left. Yes. It's approximately the correct number of times before you have to leave. Seven good times. Yes. Wow. It's a lot. It's a lot. But again, as I said, this is why it's called intimate partner violence. Not just domestic abuse. It's intimate partner violence. It's somebody you are intimate with. Somebody you know, you love, you have a bond with. You've bonded with this person. So it's not easy. It's not like a job that I can resign. We'll go start over all over again. Exactly. This is somebody that you leave and then you regret immediately. You're like, wow, I've done the wrong mistake.  Knows your deepest, darkest secrets. Knows your innermost person. Your weak points. Yeah, weak points. He knows how to talk you into coming back. And then, of course, there's a societal expectation. You're supposed to be married, or you're supposed to be in a relationship, or whatever. Or he also, this person also looks like I'm a good man. Or he also looks like I'm a good woman, in case of where these things happen. And nobody really, really, people are like, what are you talking about? Hi, but Nani is such a good provider. And so on and so forth. So there's always a society pressure. All right. So how can you guys find your own social media again? And also the emergency number they can call? Our number is 0718-158-400. That's simple. OK, probably. Please repeat that number again. 0718-158-400. All right, thank you very much. And Jeremy, co-founder and executive director of OCCIM. Thank you for creating time to be with us today. No problem. You're welcome. All right, so guys, that is the conversation on GBP. Make sure don't keep silent. There's not any form of embarrassment when it comes to violence. Pick out and make sure you look out for yourself and your loved ones. So we'll be right back on more on why in the morning. So make sure you stay tuned.

How Kenya planned to reclaim its throne as the fastest growing economy in East Africa? With an average yearly growth rate of 5.9% between 2010 and 2018, Kenya was one of the fastest growing economies in Africa prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Kenya just attained lower middle income status with a GDP of $95 billion, and it has effectively built a broad and dynamic economy. The economic disruptions caused by COVID-19, together with persistent issues like corruption and economic inequality, have made it harder for Kenya to achieve sustained and equitable economic growth. One of the economies in the world with the quickest growth rates is Kenya, which has emerged in recent years. Kenya has frequently been considered as the main economic and commercial hub of East Africa because of the strategic importance of its coastal city, Mombasa, and the advantageous regional trade ties. The country's notable economic development continues to be supported by the strengthening transportation infrastructure, ongoing pro-business reforms, and the services sector, which is the main growth tracker. These factors present a wealth of opportunities for businesses and investors. Do you want to know how Kenya will reclaim this position? Stay with us to find out. Please help us grow and produce more great content for you. Make sure to like this video, comment, and subscribe to our channel. Watch to the end to find out if Kenya will succeed. There are several reasons why Kenya is becoming the fastest growing economy in East Africa. They are analyzed as follows. Diversified economy, which attracts investments. East Africa's largest economy, Kenya, has experienced significant expansion in recent years. Since the financial crisis of 2008, there has been an average annual real GDP growth of roughly 5.5%, a surge that indicates the nation's continuing economic stability and major improvements in its business environment. Kenya's economy is still largely dependent on agriculture, which generated nearly one fifth of the nation's GDP in 2018 through the export of goods like coffee, tea, and horticulture. Even though manufacturing only accounts for 10% of Kenya's GDP, the country continues to place a high priority on its development since the government views it as a key driver of long-term economic growth and development, job creation, and poverty reduction. Kenya's Big Four National Economic Transformation Agenda aims to boost the manufacturing sector's GDP contribution to 15% by 2022, with the focus on expanding sub-sectors, including preprocessing and textiles and apparel. Nearly two-thirds of the growth in Kenya's GDP during the past five years has come from the services sector, which has been the main engine of the country's economic expansion. One of Kenya's most significant sectors and a major source of foreign exchange revenue is tourism. Kenya continues to be a natural tourism magnet with its national parks, game reserves, and other beautiful natural features, drawing around two million tourists in 2018. The country's economic growth has also been mostly driven by trade and financial services, which have been aided by a comparatively developed banking industry and financial system in comparison to other sub-Saharan African nations. Kenya's diverse economy and lengthy history of private sector development, in contrast to much of the rest of the continent, have made it the most alluring investment location in the area. Following its neighbor Ethiopia, Kenya is the second largest beneficiary of foreign direct investments, FDI, in East Africa, with a total FDI stock of $14.4 billion in 2018. Investors are urged to pay close attention to the nation's rapidly expanding businesses, especially those that fall under the umbrella of the big four agenda, manufacturing, food security, housing, and healthcare. Infrastructural development, improving connectivity. Kenya has started a number of major transportation infrastructure projects recently in an effort to increase logistical effectiveness and strengthen its position as a regional trading and economic hub. The Port of Mombasa Extension Project, the biggest deepwater port in East and Central Africa, is one noteworthy example. The port not only caters to the home market, but also trade from landlocked neighbors including South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, and Uganda. In reality, Uganda made for more than a quarter of the port's cargo volume in 2018, making it the largest customer of the Mombasa Port. The Port of Mombasa, which handled 1.2 million TEUS in 2018, is the seventh busiest port in Africa, according to the Kenya Port's authority. The Kaipu container terminal is being built at the port as a second container terminal by the Kenyan government in order to meet the demand for capacity increase, which has increased by 10% yearly on average over the past 10 years. The Kaipu container terminal's first phase was finished and put into operation in 2016. The second phase's completion, which is anticipated in 2022, will increase the port's capacity by 1 million TEUS. A standard gauge railway, SGR, was built and opened in 2017 to improve trade and lessen traffic congestion between the port of Mombasa and the nation's capital Nairobi. When compared to shipping by road, traders can cut their freight costs by up to two-fifths, thanks to the SGR additionally. The travel time was decreased from 24 hours to a maximum of eight hours. Two trains run daily on the Mombasa Nairobi SGR, which provides passenger services as well. The SGR has served 3 million passengers and transported more than 4.4 million tons of cargo in its first two years of operation. One of the factors influencing Kenya's sustained investment in transportation infrastructure is regional integration. A 23 billion US dollars multimodal project called the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Lapset Corridor seeks to improve integration between Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. There are six major projects included in it, including the construction of a new port at Lamu in northern Kenya, inter-regional motorways, standard gauge railroad lines, an oil pipeline, new airports, and resort city development. Another deep seaport in Kenya, Lamu Port, will primarily serve as a transshipment center for freight going to ports like Maputo in Mozambique. Regional trading hub with global perspective. According to the Trade 20 Index, Kenya is one of the emerging stars of international trade. As its infrastructure and ease of doing business continue to advance, its role as a gateway to African markets is being further solidified by its involvement in regional economic blocks. Kenya is a member of the East African community and the common market for eastern and southern Africa, the two largest economic communities in Africa. Being a member of these two regional economic groups, which together account for about half of all people in Africa, grants Kenya duty-free access to other members while enforcing a single external tariff on non-members. Additionally, Kenya has led the charge in promoting regional integration and establishing the biggest free trade zone in Africa. Kenya has demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting free trade within Africa, but it has also established significant commercial ties with other nations. The African Growth and Opportunity Act, which grants duty-free access to the U.S. market for more than 6,000 agricultural and non-agricultural goods like clothing and textiles, benefits Kenya. In fact, the U.S. ranked behind only Uganda and Pakistan as the third largest market for Kenyan exports in 2018. The East Africa Community European Union Economic Partnership Agreement, which exempts all East Africa community exports from all quota constraints and permits zero duty entry into the EU, has only been ratified by one East Africa community member, Kenya. Kenya continues to have duty and quota-free access to the EU market under the market access regulation, despite the agreement now being on hold due to Tanzania's worries about how it will affect the industrialization of East Africa. Silicon Savannah, East Africa's tech hub. Kenya, often known as the Silicon Savannah, or Africa's Silicon Valley, is embracing ICT as a vital driver of future economic progress. The national ICT policy, which was introduced in 2006 and amended a decade later, intends to assure the availability of accessible, dependable, and reasonably priced ICT services while encouraging innovation within the industry. A variety of more recent topics, including cybersecurity, e-government, and the knowledge economy, are also included in the revised policy. The emergence of numerous innovations, like Mpisa, a mobile payment and transfer system, introduced in 2007 by the top Kenyan telecom provider, Seferiqom, has been made possible by the favorable policy and legal climate. Mpisa has demonstrated that customers can send, receive, and store money using even the most basic mobile phone. The Mpisa app has swiftly taken off, and there are currently over 37 million active users across seven African nations. Additionally, Kenya is home to more than 200 digital startups and the regional offices of major ICT giants like IBM, Intel, and Google. Microsoft has established an Africa Development Center in Nairobi, and networking equipment maker Cisco has also established an innovation hub there. Given its unders of fiber optic cables, Kenya has one of the highest internet speeds in the area and is today regarded as a genuinely connected environment. This, along with the population's expanding access to technology and the growing backing from foreign investors, make Kenya's digital ecosystem an appealing place for investment and innovation. Kenya is not giving up on ensuring that she becomes the fastest growing East African nation with all the achievements of development that has been put in place by her government. It is absolutely great to see African nations thrive and other to one day become world superpowers. Thanks for watching.
