Steam Drunk Over the past seven or eight years or so There's been about a gazillion Metroidvania games made some good some bad some feel like boring rehashes some have original qualities The thing is for better or for worse their term Metroidvania is becoming a catch-all term being used to the point where it can come across like a Corporate buzz phrase like synergistic management or core competency My point is with so many Metroidvania games nowadays the term implies that the games all play the same way and it does games like Hollow Knight a huge disservice to say Hollow Knight is merely the latest in the Metroidvania craze suggests that the game is purely Derivative and has nothing else to offer other than being a modernized version of what some people say has become a cliche And that is not true at all This game is so much better than your standard open-world 2d platformer Everything from the sly way the game reveals its world to the art design to the music to the story and how it's told Hollow Knight transcends its influences and is more than the sum of its parts in other words It's just a damn good game. I do admit It's a tad on the odd side though for one thing the story doesn't just come out right and tell you what's going on with blunt exposition You're just a little bug dude with a nail for a sword exploring what used to be a densely populated kingdom of insects But now Hollow nest as it's referred to is mostly empty So what happened you have to go back to how this entire world was created through what's called the radiance an old God who's referred to as the founder of all bug kind in ancient times They operated as one giant hive mind fighting against a dark energy called the void eventually another ancient being came along the worm Who died at the edge of the kingdom and was reincarnated as the pale king? He becomes so powerful. He supplants the radiance as the one true bug God I guess granting all bugs sentience and freedom and he built hollow nest as a monument to his power However, the bug simply couldn't just forget the radiance and often referred it back to their hive mind ways So to remedy this the pale king had no choice but to draw upon the powers of the void and create a capsule to seal away The radiance and in addition three powerful bugs act as a seal to keep him inside this giant black egg Hey triple protection for triple freshness can't beat that. Anyway, the game doesn't outright tell you any of this You got to piece it together with bits and pieces that you pick up here and there and hollow night Does such a great job of telling a story without hamming it up with bad dialogue or voice acting Most of it is told through the settings music or even the gameplay itself as you can see this orange stuff spraying out from certain enemies Huh, what's that all about? Well, it turns out the radiance can't be sealed so easily after all But I don't want to spoil too much here I'll just say one of the big strengths of the game isn't just the story But it's the way it's told and the way it's open to interpretation without being ham-fisted or eye-rollingly pretentious As for the gameplay it's extremely player-friendly especially as far as games of this nature go your jump range is huge Your attack range is consistent and just about everything is intuitive and easy to figure out I love that to replenish health all you have to do is hold one button down for a couple seconds No cumbersome menus or anything your potions or what the game refers to as soul is contained in a fluid container in the upper left Which you can fill up just from regular combat But if you're holding the button down and get hit by an enemy like during a boss fight for example You lose out on that amount of soul.  There's a lot of exploration. So of course the maps are pretty big But still this game has an efficiency to it that I appreciate It's big but not sprawling and it's not a huge map for the sake of being a huge map It strikes a good balance between the type of player that wants to take their time and explore absolutely everything And there is plenty to find and between the player that just wants to get to the point and fight the next boss I will say the biggest flaw in Hollow Knight is that it gets off to a slow start It doesn't make the greatest first impression in terms of gameplay The enemies and bosses are pretty straightforward and your abilities are the same as you'd find in many other games Remember Lufia and the Fortress of Doom for Super Nintendo at the very beginning of that one You're playing in a flashback sequence as a party of super-powered warriors fighting huge intimidating bosses Just to give you a taste of what the game will eventually be like if you're willing to put in the effort I wish more games did that I'm just saying I wish Hollow Knight did a better job at hinting at the depth this game offers from the get-go But yeah, the game does get better and better the more you uncover both with the gameplay and with the story for that matter That soul stuff I referred to earlier can also be used as a fireball among other things You'll also uncover a double jump, a dash, a super dash among lots of others And you'll need as many as you can find because the enemy design here is as smart and as clever as I've seen in any game in the last several years But again it may take a while to get to that point There's also a huge rage of charms you can collect, equip, and unequip when necessary depending on what part of the world you're in And depending on how you like to play One charm allows you to heal faster Another increases your nail attack Another poisons enemies when you take damage But again the game is designed in a way that you can't abuse any of these abilities Each charm takes up a certain number of notches The more powerful the charm, the more notches it requires So you can't just equip everything and be overpowered to the gills You have to be smart about how you want to approach things And there's over 40 charms you can find So managing those are almost like a game unto itself I could go on and on about Hollow Knight The game's fan-made wiki page is up to 379 articles and over 12,000 pages But I'll keep it somewhat short This is just a video to explain why Hollow Knight is better than what the term Metroidvania might suggest Not just because it does the open world platformer genre better than most But because of the sheer depth of the gameplay The management required based on what tasks the game asks of you The way the visuals and music are integral to the story Which is pretty friggin incredible and something I rarely see And it would be redundant to tell you how gorgeous this game is You can see that for yourself And also the flexibility this game offers is fantastic You can play as a tank, a quick strike assassin, a heavy magic user Or even a crazy person who has their damage boost through the roof The lower their own health is Hey, if that's how you want to roll, this game lets you do that And now not only does this all unfold organically Everything is very intuitive Hollow Knight is one of the very best games of the last few years Regardless of genre I know it's easy to let your steam backlog build up and go ignored But if you see this one buried in there somewhere Go play it, it's well worth it Hollow Knight is also available on Switch, PS4, and Xbox One And I want to thank you for watching and have a good rest of your day

So far we have talked about the physical aspects of a supply chain, the warehouse, the transportation, the flow of goods. But there's also a huge amount of planning of this enormous network that most companies will have. So it starts with understanding that there are different kinds of supply chain. And one way to classify the supply chain is looking at the lead time. How long does it take to move the goods and supply the product? So that's one axis and the other axis is around the demand pattern. How predictable is the demand and how unpredictable is the demand? So let's look at the four quadrants because they need very different kinds of supply chain planning. And they have very different challenges and requirements of infrastructure. Let's start with the left bottom side. So that's a low lead time but it's a predictable demand. So it could be just oil and gas. So it's predictable demand and it's being produced continuously. And therefore it's probably a flow movement. Or it could be the rice coming from the field into the milling, the rice mill. So it doesn't take more than one or two hours for the rice to come from the field into the rice mill. Or the sugarcane from the field to the sugarcane mill. And the demand is more or less stable. The demand for rice or oil and gas or sugar may be quite stable. And that's called a flow. It's a continuous flow. On the other side, let's say you've got a high lead time. So it takes time to get the components. But the demand is predictable. It could be let's say an automotive supply chain. Automotive supply chain don't drastically move. The demand may go from 100,000 Maruti cars to 110,000 to 120,000. Or maybe come down to 115,000 and so on. It doesn't go from 100,000 to 1 million. So it's reasonably predictable demand. But the lead time is high because in a Maruti car or a Hyundai car or a Ford car, there will be 1,000 to 2,000 components. The steel, the sheet steel for the body, the engine blocks, the electronics, the harnessing, which is the wires, the lights, the chrome and the steel parts, the seats, the seat bags, they may have a high lead time. And therefore you get into what is called lean supply chain. And you can get into components and just in time design of the supply chain. And then you get into the right side where the lead time is high. So it takes time. But the demand is unpredictable. So it's not like sugar or soap or shampoos or rice or atta. It's not like a stable car company, but it's an unpredictable demand. And it's got a high lead time. So nobody will then keep it and make it, for example, aeroplanes. Aeroplanes is a very, very expensive item. And it takes years to make one aeroplane. And you never know when the demand for aeroplane will come. It may come from the government, one country. Maybe you're buying some aeroplanes from US or some other country buying the Tejas aeroplane from India. But you never know where the demand will come. Once they come, it may take years to deliver the demand. So then you build those aeroplanes on demand. You don't continuously keep building the aeroplanes. You build it when you get the order. So it's unpredictable demand and high lead time. High lead time basically means you've got time to respond. When you get an aeroplane order or a ship order or a large customized tank order, it takes, you have a lead time of years sometimes. Because the army will not want it overnight or the air force will not want it overnight. So it's high lead time. You've got time to make it. Demand isn't when the government places an order and therefore it's on-demand supply chain. The most challenging is actually the right lower side where the lead time is very low. You want it immediately and the demand is unpredictable. For example, you've got a very expensive car or a plane, an Airbus 380. It has gone from Singapore to, let's say, Sydney. And the plane has broken down. There's one part which is missing. Now every minute that Airbus 380 or the Boeing, large Boeing plane is on the ground, the airline is losing money. But you cannot predict the demand. So you want that spare part as quickly as possible. So the lead time is the shortest possible and you can't predict the demand. And then you use an express supply network. It's also called the Korean network. For example, DHL or FedEx or UPS or Blue Dot. That's called express supply chain. Commonly also called as Korea. And this will be typically, you have to Korea your bio-data for a job and it has to reach tomorrow.  But when you have to send it, you have to send it for probably the next day. Or an emergency medicine. Someone is almost on a life and death situation. And some medicine has to be brought in within hours. So lead time is very short because there's a life at stake. But the demand is unpredictable. You never know when that illness will happen, when the patient will come. Then you use the express supply chain. So these are the types of supply chain then a company can have. And therefore the next step is you have to plan for the different kinds of supply chain depending on your lead time and your demand predictability. So it starts with demand forecasting. You try to forecast the demand. Sometimes you can't like emergency repairs or emergency medicines. But most of the times you can, sugar, rice, biscuits, soaps, detergents, phones. Most of the time the demand will not be oscillating too much. It will probably be growing gently or declining gently. So you can forecast the demand. But the complexity is that a company may have many kinds of products. And therefore you have to demand forecast for hundreds, sometimes thousands of individual product line. A small size, medium size, large size. Think about let's say a Levi's jeans or lipstick or a fashion bag or a fashion dress. There can be thousands of types of dress. Lipsticks can be in thousands of colors. So you have to forecast and therefore it becomes very complex exercise. So demand forecast once is done, and this is done by the sales people in the company. Based on that the sourcing people will then place order on the suppliers to procure the raw material and the component. And depending on what kind of a supply chain it is, they will order on that basis. At the same time the production people will start doing the production planning. So many cars to be made per day, so many phones, so many laptops, so many kilos of oil, refined oil, so many packets of biscuits or soaps or detergents. Because the production planning also has to be planned. So all of that is in terms of planning, ordering. But then comes the physical aspect of warehousing and transport. Because the warehouse is typically of a certain size. If you order too much, you'll not be able to place it in the warehouse because there's no space in the warehouse. If you have too little then the warehouses are running empty and you are incurring cost on rental because the warehouse is empty. Same with trucking.  But your capacity is 100 trucks a day. You don't have to dispatch plan 10 trucks a day because then you have ideal trucking capacity. So you have to plan the warehousing and the transport. Above all you have to plan your leak times and inventory. Inventory is the kind of product that you have in your facility under your control. So if you have long leak times, you may not want to have too much of inventory because you have the time to supply. So you can hold a little bit of inventory and then as you get more demand you order more inventory because you've got a long leak time. But you've got a short leak time which means you have to supply in a hurry. You may want to hold some extra inventory so that you don't run out of stock. So there's always a balance between inventory and leak time. And all of these goes under supply chain planning and you can imagine it's quite a complex topic. That was the basic planning. But once you've got your base plan in place which means your basic supply chain in place. Which is your network, factories, warehouses, transport capacity, people, IT, etc. You want to keep improving and becoming more efficient and effective. And reduce costs and improve your responsive to the market. So that takes you into the area of supply chain optimization. And you can almost optimize all the pieces of the supply chain. Starting with warehouse and space optimization. If your inventory is so much you don't want warehouse so much. You have to optimize it. But on the other hand if your inventory is so much you don't want a warehouse which is only this little. Because there will not be space in the warehouse. So you always have to optimize your warehouse and your inventory levels. So that there is neither too much space or too little space. The same thing for transport. You have to optimize your transport network.  Because it's moving, you're incurring the petrol cost, your assets are blocked, but it's empty. So you want to increase the optimization which means the utilization at the right time in the right capacity with the right products through your entire transport network. And the very sophisticated and standard techniques for optimizing warehousing and transport. Same with inventory and product. If you're selling a lot of large packs, you don't want to be in a situation where you're producing a lot of small packs but don't have enough large packs. Customers wanting a lot of large packs but you have a lot of inventory of small packs. So you have inventory but you cannot meet the demand. So you have to have product and inventory optimization. If customers are wanting red t-shirts, you cannot have a lot of blue t-shirts because then you have inventory but you cannot meet the customer demand. You lose money either way. Same with people. If a warehouse of a certain capacity needs 100 people, you don't want to have only 50 people instead of 100 because the job will not get done and there will be pressure on the warehouse. But if the need is for 100 people, you don't want to have 200 people on the warehouse either. So you have to optimize the roles and the staffing. All of these are very standard techniques but they are very sophisticated tools and techniques involved. And those of you want to make a career in supply chain, I would encourage you to get into more specialized supply chain courses. Looking ahead into the future, especially as more and more data becomes available, so get into the realm of big data. And as you get more and more sophisticated tools driven by artificial intelligence and if you combine lots of data with the abilities of artificial intelligence and algorithmic analysis and support of decisions, you get into the area of supply chain digitization in the coming years.  It's available on the internet and the link is provided below. But essentially with the advent of big data and AI tools and different other kinds of tools, the expectation from various companies and various analysts and various consulting companies and my own personal expectation is that, as you can see on the screen, lot of the levers of supply chain will be impacted positively. So what are the levers? Lot of times you lose sales. You lose sales because you have not been able to fulfill the order and you have lost sales, not been able to fulfill the order because the inventory is not there or the transport takes too long or the product is spoiled. And then as you analyze the data and you sharpen and optimize your supply network, like I talked before, you can reduce the percentage of sales that you are losing, which means you get more sales without doing anything extra. Same with transportation and warehousing cost. If you optimize, again as I've said before, your transport and warehousing with more and more data that's coming up and more and more tools that are coming up, again you can reduce the cost of warehousing and transport. The same with administration cost. Where does the admin cost get saved? The cost of errors. Instead of sending product A to customer B, you have sent product C to customer D. So there's an error. And there's a cost to that error because product has to come back and the correct product sent. So there's the admin cost. There's probably lost sales, etc. So admin cost comes down. Above all, inventories. If you forecast your demand better, you can have cascading effect of lower inventories, better response time, reduce loss of sales, optimize transport, optimize warehousing, and overall improvement in your service efficiency, your profitability. That's a roadmap into the future. We come to the next reflection point. In a course journal, please think about what I've said and try to reflect on when you're traveling the next time, look out for cargo transport. They can be a small auto. It could be a truck. It could be a train. It could be a ship. It could be a plane. But don't look at only the big movements of good. Look at the last mile delivery. When you're passing your neighborhood store, look for how the store is getting supplies. Someone, a small truck or a small auto, which is delivering to the store. Think about how you are getting your food delivery. From a swiggy, your isomato, or Danzo, or Licious, or e-commerce, any of the e-commerce, Amazon, or Flipkart, or Nica. So think about the last mile delivery. And if you want to look back into a little bit of history, do an internet search on palletization and containerization and how we transform the supply chain in the last few decades. And do a search also on digitization and the use of artificial intelligence, et cetera, in supply chain in the next decade. So reflect for three minutes. Now let's look at what are some of the skills you should build if you want to build a career in supply chain. They're technical skills, such as demand forecasting. They're very sophisticated techniques of demand forecasting. And now the artificial intelligence tools have come in which can help you do better demand forecasting. They're also data analytics tools because you get a lot of demand of customer data. Imagine a company which has got millions of customers delivering to hundreds or thousands of delivery points, but having tens or hundreds of production points. And imagine the kind of data that's crisscrossing. So you've got tools for data analytics. If you want to build a career in warehouse or transport management, which are very, very sophisticated skills nowadays, you can study warehouse management or transport management. There's a lot of money spent on warehousing and transportation by the companies. And if you can optimize them and reduce the cost, it has a real impact on the company's profitability. And of course people management, supply chain inherently employs a lot of people, millions of people.  And remember, all the people in the supply chain are not all highly educated or graduates. A lot of the people in the supply chain are probably semi-literate or sometimes not even literate because they're loading and doing some manual activities. And as a leader, you have to manage the highly educated, the semi-educated, and sometimes they're not so educated. So these are the skills which you should try to acquire by doing additional specialized courses in supply chain if that interests you and build the skills that you see on the screen. With that, we come to the end of the module. Thank you. Namaskar.


This is a John Kelly Girls Technology College in Neeson, North London. They're looking to save money whilst improving their ICT provision. Can it be done? The girls' school is one of three buildings on site. Alongside it sits the boys' school and the sixth form college. All three are to combine to become an academy next year. Shame then that the school boasts three different networks, none of which talk to each other. They serve a so old, it's almost an antique. To help the school break into the 21st century and save money along the way, I'm joined by DCSF procurement expert Claire Dix. Assistant principal of the school is Ross McGill, who has been in the job for less than a year. His ICT budget is around £24,000 per year, but there is also a pot of money put aside for the Academy start-up, totaling £80,000. The school's 50 years old, so what we've set up is very good, but in terms of today in the 21st century, it's very poor. The condition of our server is appalling. In the last two or three months, it's gone down six times at least. When it comes to bandwidth and traffic exchange, email exchange, it considerably slows down. And your finance deal, is it a rental or a lease? The server's a lease, but that's going to expire in November 2009. So we're currently looking at various other options. Desktops, we're looking to replace between 25 to 50%, because most of them are out of warranty, some of them are seven, eight years old, and they can't cope. By leasing his ICT equipment, Ross can incorporate renewals and replacements into the deal, but this can also tie him to a single supplier which might not always offer the best options. Having got the basics from Ross, it's time for a tour of the school. John Kelly's has 400 desktops, 100 laptops, and three dedicated ICT classrooms. It looks quite cramped in here. They're quite close together, aren't they? Yes, it's very cramped. We've got a lot of desktop space wasted with the CPUs. At the moment, we've only got about seven or eight students in here, but if lunchtime is you might have 30 on the computer and one or two sitting next to each other and helping, so it can get very cramped and congested and it's not ideal. Space isn't the only issue. Pupils can spend almost a whole lesson trying to log on to the server. And with limited roaming profiles, independent learning is difficult, as well as that not all computer applications are available on every terminal. Pupils and staff get round some of these problems by using USB memory sticks, and this brings with it data protection issues. Beyond that, classroom printers are very slow, so teachers like Mrs. Stoianova have developed their own strategies for printing. We encourage students to go to the library where they can print their work. Oh, so they have to go away? Yes, they have to go away from the lesson, go and print their work, and then they come back. And it's a bit time consuming, a lesson distracting, because what I need to do is write them a note saying that I allowed them to go and print in the library. There's a lot of traffic that goes to the library and this is just a small example of the whole school doing the same. The library is where almost all of the school printing ends up, leading to a steady stream of children. The biggest problem is that students and staff print from all over the school to here. This creates a huge volume of printing, which all gets muddled up, particularly if staff send the students down to collect the work. And when they come down, is anything going on here? Yeah, well, we have lessons in here all of the time, and we have about 150 children throughout lunchtime. So it's disruptive and it's inconvenient, but also you said that teachers and pupils print to the same area. How do you manage to separate confidential printing with just random printing? Well, we don't really. It depends on us grabbing it when we can find it. There's quite a lot of paper over there. Do you find that there's a lot of wastage? Yes, quite a lot. We usually end up with about a pot spin at the end of the day. Because of the nature of the ICT system at John Kelly Girls, a relatively large number of support staff is needed, which all adds to Ross' ICT bill. Despite the problems, Claire's confident there are ways to save money. So there's a lot to do here, isn't there? There is, and I think they're going to have to spend quite a bit of money to do some updating. But we can help them and advise them on the best way to do that. It seems like the server really is the main problem, really, doesn't it? It does, and it's going to solve a lot of problems if we can invest in a really good system. And the printing needs to be looked at as well, because there's a lot of time and effort and people involved in managing, monitoring the whole process. So I think if we can do something clever in that area, we can save a lot of time, effort and money. I'm sure. There's a lot here to digest and plenty of research for Claire and I to start on. The new academy is on the horizon and Ross is keen to patch up the system until then. But with the server lease expiring in a matter of months, it could be the ideal time to renew it totally. The question is, what to? And how much will it cost? To give Ross an idea of what's possible, we're sending him to Thomas Deacon Academy in Peterborough, where he meets with the director of innovation and development, Steve Warburton. Hello, Ross McGill from John Kelly Girls Technology College. The school has won numerous awards for its ICT setup. It has 2,200 students and 1,200 computing devices, the vast majority of which are thin client devices. This means all the computing power is in the server, not on the student's desk. So this is a technology ICT showcase classroom. This is your thin client device. It sits on the back of a monitor.  So all the processing is actually done on the server system. You notice small profile, so you've not got the issues of space. That device is on, so it's not kicking out the heat. It's very cold. So you've not got to manage the heat of 30 devices in the classroom, so there's the issue of no air conditioning required. You've got very few orifices for children to stuff things into. I think the strangest thing I ever took out of a PC was a tennis ball. So we don't get that sort of problem here at all. Every device connects into the server, so wherever I am in the building, my roaming profile gives me access to all the resources that my profile gives me permissions for. The thin client system means pupils and teachers can log on from any terminal in the school to access their files. This flexibility does away with the need for USB sticks. The roaming profiles also allow strict print management. The restrictions for students are software controlled, so students will have a limit, normally of about 40 prints per week that they're allowed to do in the system. They can request more, but they have to show they have the need for it. Right. I mean, obviously the students would print to this room. If I moved to another area of the school, the system recognizes where you are and directs you to the nearest printer. If you're a member of staff printing from a confidential office, it will only print to a printer in an office. A thin client system can be set up for around £500 a terminal. That pays for desktop kit, server elements and software. That's big upfront costs for Ross, but there are ongoing savings to be made. Your total cost of ownership should be a lot lower. For us, we reckon that we're going to save a quarter of a million pounds over five years. And there are three areas that are those cost savings coming. One is you need fewer technical staff to support them. Another issue is energy consumption. They consume approximately half the amount of energy that a normal PC might do. And then your other benefit on total cost of ownership is the last for at least six years. Yeah. So you save one refresh cycle. Ross is clearly impressed. You know, every student's getting on with their work, which is great. But will a system like this be suitable for his school? It's time to find out. Here at John Kelly Girls Technology College in Leesden, Claire's worked out some figures, and we're about to share the results with Assistant Principal Ross McGill and the Principal, Bev Bell, to see if they can improve on their ICT provision and still save money. Hi Ross, how lovely. Hello there. How are you? Good, good. I think we have some interesting things to discuss with you. Claire, should we start first with the server? Yes, we've had a good look around, as you know, and I know you've thought that it was a real concern of yours that the server just isn't up to dealing with the amount of PCs that you have in the school, and I think you're quite right. A new server is required, and I think you really do need to make that investment sooner rather than later. And it's all tied up with going down a thin client route. I think you'll find that quite sizable savings can be made if you can actually look into doing something of that nature. If you were to upgrade all your 400 terminals, then that is very simple to do if you went for the thin client. Now the total outlay would be about £210,000. This is more than Ross's budget of £80,000 for the new academy and £24,000 annual ICT spend. But if he can find the extra money, there are big savings to be made. In general terms, you're going to be saving money just on how much it costs to run, because, for example, each terminal only requires half the pair of a standard desktop, and it's the equivalent of something like a 15-watt bulb per terminal, which is relatively small. And that coupled with the support, refresh and service cost means there are big savings to be made long-term. If you want to install software, I believe thin client you'll be able to install from one area and disperse the entire network rather than individually one station. There's going to be a massive improvement in terms of time management. You'll totally change the situation. Are we saying that we will save on our network support because it's not going to break down as frequently? Yeah, and less disruption to class time as well because you're not having to take any of those pieces offline or you'll be able to actually manage that centrally. The next big bug there, printing, what have you got to tell us about that, Claire? I think you'll find that the client system in itself is easier to run, and there's all kinds of facilities there to actually help assist with print management, so it's all done automatically. So you can, for example, set each class that they can or can't print in colour. Each student can have an allocation of how many pages that you want them to print again so that you don't have to be checking yourself. And the printers themselves can print on demand, so it does actually manage the queuing system so you don't have the queue in the library that you've had to deal with up until this point. You've obviously been using the one herb in the library because you've had to manually manage that process. But because the system will manage that for you, you could have print herbs in a number of different areas throughout the school. So I think you'll just find there's general time savings. And our research has revealed the saving of around £10,000 per year that's what's been recorded in other schools. Fantastic. We could use that money to invest in neither more or other areas of technology. So that's £10,000 saving per annum on printing. What about installing thin client? Certainly, if you make the decision to go with a thin client, we've calculated that your saving could be around the £20,000 mark. Does that strike you as a good savings? Yes, it does. Fantastic. Excellent. So the savings on the thin client system and the whole printing system would combine to a figure of £30,000 a year. It's an amazing amount and it's a really worthwhile amount, don't you think? Yeah, no, it's huge. It's a new member of staff, an extra pair of hands, you know, around the school and another teacher in the classroom, and also the kids that can go into the hands of the students. So I think that sum of money is huge for one year, over three years. Well, £100,000 nearly and just think what we could do with that. Absolutely amazing. Absolutely fantastic. It's a great saving. Yes. So thank you very much. Thank you.


That was Davy Prince. He is around. He'll be talking to us, tell us what he is about, where he's coming from, what he's brought us today and more to get kumjua. Davy, kovipi? Niko fitisana. Thanks for the invite. I really appreciate. You are welcome. We are happy to have you as well. So kindly ambiwa watu eni nani. So joa eni Davy, but tell about the crew. So, I'm David. My stage name is Davy Prince. I'm a gospel artist and I love doing music so much and apart from music, I'm also a student and those two sana-sana remain. So kumugeni kabisa kwa industry? Sim genisa. I started in 2020. That is when I recorded my first song in 2020, I think March or February. But then yo chai miya covid kukapuna a lot of ups and downs, so nika moku pose kwanza. And then so nika rudibak last year November. And so I can really say kuna grace, so nika una hope sana. 2020 bando ni mugeni. What are some of the challenges ume pata nanazo as you are trying to, other than covid of course. Nini nini ingime ni unona nyewe. This is not for the faint hearted. Ya, ya true. Other than covid, meza sima challenge me kwa sana sana. Mabii kukosa management o manager kitukayo. So naji support on my own. And then piya kujagul between books na music, aija kwa rahisi. So una kuta ili eka free time na pattern do na maybe I write songs. And then the biggest challenge me kwa in production. So ili e na save-save kiasi, enda studio, nafanya nini vida, but I hope with time mambita kwa fiti. So mese moka shule. What are you studying? Ya, me Kenya Institute of Mass Communication. I'm a final year. So namaniza shule much. I'm doing TV production. And ya, ya, ya. Alright, so do you feel like you being in or you studying TV production. Amma something related to production in oksa idea piya kwa mzikiya kwa insamue? Ya sure. I think TV production na music zina go hand in hand kwa sababu. In TV production nimege to learn about editing. Nimege to learn about camera operations and stuff. So I apply the same in music na insa idea sana. For example, I can sometimes edit my own video. Amana is a reason out na director na jwa. So sikama vilem say, hana idea na enda pa director. So niki enda pa director na kwa nga na rough idea na kwa na scriptural rating. So wangadutu na reason out and then we come up with that. With something nge nye mimi piya nina feel, nime say dika through TV production. Ya, ya, ya. Ya, that's nice. That's dope. Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya. At least nuna jwa nini unataka. Ya, sure, sure. Nuna jwa nini unataka. Sikama tumunye. Anaklu. Ya, sure. Nene ni kesata umtuana eza fanyuwa kitumbaya na asi jwa me fanyuwa kitumbaya. Amma some should enjoy. Ya, in fact, in my first song nili koga first year nili koga fresh, I guess. Nau kwa semestaza kwanza. So sko na understand. So nili kwa tu reka nami ambiya fanyuwe na fanyuwa. Atasi elewe. Bonu nambuwa fanyuwe. Ya, interprete the song kiviake. Ya, anda. Seza vene nili proceed. Nika geti yo knowledge. Seza I think it's better than I was before. Ya. Do you feel like an artist maybe wana fawadruwe? A few things about production. So that's maybe you see at least atu kinda kwa feel then doing your things even post production. You know what you're working with. You know what to expect. I think it's so essential. You don't have to go to school but you know kuna skulia YouTube. Exactly. Kuna skulia. I think as an artist wana fawadruwe. Most of us songwriters waka a song, wana vene wanga wana visualize. Bani wana taka video i come through. Ya. So I think ku visualize isn't enough maybe wana za visualize and then ukuena some skills for examples. Let's say wukau kukau kukau kikoju kumakamera angles. I think it's just ideas wana kwachiv ila laik ila kikituna taka kwachiv kwa you song. So I feel it's so essential. Jua a bit of visit ni sana manini but kikojua a bit of it maybe wana zakadi na director ma editor and then wana wana wana sa idea as you go through na yo i me ni help sana. Ya. Alright.  The goddess really been kwa kum fiti. kwa tumfiti, kutuga freshas na mariza shule atu jwe kyeshoveni tako bachu kuna faith ya atu kumaliza shule kutuga fofiti ama kunda kwa media house and practice what you learnt in school ama you are taking up music full time mimi, mimi usema music nikahobi skul ni zote ni passion miyani so akuna venyezi wini stress so kuna venye tu miwweza kuzi align mizuri na zini sumbagi so when I finish school badaun nikipata opportunity al practice badaun media na badaun music mi tendeleya muziki na kongani kwa ni part of mi ya nisi yezi ya chan so whether nita kwa inter practice media or not music badaun itendeleya I feel yo ndokweli niya na you are a gospel artist gospel artist sometimes mitwananza kama gospel artist amenda kwa secular ama tu na songa tu na wave kus some gospel artist contentia ukidogo it's not really there unain batu just for your music has a lot of content there is a message you are trying to pass are you planning to stick to the same ama along the way once watu ame jua devi prince uta enda contentiki as the name grows the content goes down as the name grows like music mi kitu si ku choose kili mi choose moso gospel music and so kongani calling and I feel like wanga si force gospel music nika something else kuna flowa kuna anything so mi wu feel just stick to gospel all days na mi wumbagoda nipatia even more grace kwa sababu ni niza jigambani sayo just stick gospel as far as I'm concerned I think this is my place I feel at home so much niki fanya gospel nice that is so dope so as we wind up tell us kido go about sohivo how it came to be my song sohivo I wrote it sometime I think in 2020 so niliku waga biba niliku waga inje adiyo time na kumkani kwa na tokatao nenda south biswile nika kanyaga and then to cut the long story short niliku waga nafil yo time do niliku wana meriliza sante niliku wana feel manze kuna nda haji kwa ni mi nimsani nimi tuangoma atu ko inje wana kwa tv ni ni one expect nia haji kwa yadu makea kitu bada adi imbao ya fairsina nika feel kuna wana tu nili feel somtimesi niza kwa saku ahivo vene tu niza plan we may make our plans but God will offer like who have the final say to our plans alafu piya kuna ivas in the book of Philippians 4.6 do not be anxious about anything but in everything we should make your request known to God but do not be anxious about anything but in everything present your request to God with thanksgiving so miu feel somtimesi watu naji overwhelmsa na vitu atu waysi change so idea ya sohivo iliku wa somtimesi sohivo kujo overwhelm umi traiku patia Christi zo maori wone benyata kumthru zilevitu una feel manze zime ku overwhelm traiku patia Christi kuda kuda sohivo i think kuma get ya ni ma get so where can people find asante sohivo and more of your projects to come okay asante and sohivo are my first two projects is on the official ones I have more projects ziko in studio already ziko in audio form and sayina jipanga video and stuff and I would say this year I think by God's grace one zi jo yolo ni push by God's grace miu na checki this year ita kwa break through and I'm hoping for the best so ya anta kwa ni kifanya and more music when you go down and lead through social media handles twitter devi prince music instagram devi prince music and facebook devi prince ke and then talk to na sheyamu youtube ya youtube ni devi prince official if someone wants to purchase your songs imagine she just yaka inu ni kwa eba so to ni ku view manze ku kwa beginner you will get there any collaborations lined up collaborations kuna songs miu andika with someone in mind but bados jams aku reach out bachi na kuja I feel like kwanza ni fanya maybe some couple of songs niki taga kolabo niki na komsi atangali wane kuna mojo mii andika ukijua see moja many in fact can you give names ya kuna song miu andika for example no maybe an ask you kuna song miu andika ya ni na feeling kuna song miu andika na feeling jabidi ya kipachi ya voice ita kuafiji kuna song miu andika na feeling moji ya keza come through na ni kagatu in mind mo fantasy zangu na office ku moja ya ya ya ok let me tell you your dreams cannot come true unless you work for them so the fact that you are writing and you are pushing yourself maybe they are watching maybe they are listening so thank you so much for coming through we appreciate your time all the best content izidi tuku kwaivo apu sana manze mi shkuru sana ya ni iam so grateful kwao sayo angu wa kenya mas wawu ni push sana kuna weni wawu sku ma links zangu iam so grateful i will forever remain grateful manze ya god bless you all alright thank you so much for coming through once again and up next is David Prince so hebo


One thing I discovered in my research is that many of the things that are blamed on global warming or blamed on greenhouse gases are actually, at least to a large extent, caused by disruptions in the hydrological cycle, disruptions to water, especially floods and droughts, but also even rising temperatures. So for one thing, water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas on earth, but its effects are a lot harder to model because for one thing it's not globally distributed in a relatively uniform way as carbon is. Some areas there's a lot of it, some of the areas there's not very much, and also the effect on temperature that water has depends on the form that it's in. If it's haze, then it has a warming effect because it's a greenhouse gas, but when it forms clouds, it has a cooling effect, especially during the day. At night, it actually has a little bit of a warming effect. It also depends on how high the clouds are. So this is really hard to model, therefore it is not very effectively modeled. Even making it even harder is that the formation of clouds is influenced by life. Cloud formation is ceded by aromatic chemicals that are given off by plants and ceded by bacteria that have isonucleating proteins on them that allow clouds to form at a lower altitude, which means that they have a stronger cooling effect if they're at a lower altitude. So when you look at the world through the lens of water, it gives birth to a different set of priorities than looking at the world through the lens of carbon, although there is actually a large area of intersection because the best way to heal water is through soil and forest. And wetlands and some other ecosystems too, but mostly I'll concentrate on soil and forests. In a healthy system, the water cycle is as follows. The rain falls on the earth, and it is soaked up completely with almost no runoff because healthy soil is like a sponge. It's penetrated, it's very thick or is covered with layers of leaf litter and plants. It's penetrated by mycelia, by roots and mycorrhizae and earthworms and animals. And so the rain comes and it soaks down, down, down, down. Some of it stays in the soil and some of it sinks all the way down to the water table and into the deeper aquifers. And once it's in the soil, then over time the trees can pull it up and they transpire it through the leaves. This water then so it evaporates from the leaves. It forms new clouds that are in part seeded by the trees themselves. And then it comes back down as rain.  The grasses do some of the same thing. What happens then and you have bare soil?  And some of it maybe soaks in, but a lot of it runs off, carrying the soil with it, or it evaporates. It stands in puddles and you've seen like these pictures of the parched, cracked earth that happens after the rain has fallen and evaporates. So now you don't have the trees feeding the rains for days and weeks and months after the rainy season is over. Instead you have a drought and the parched earth, the exposed soil, not to mention parking lots and asphalt and things like that, that creates a lot of sensible heat that creates high pressure zones that prevent new moist air from even coming in. So cities and cultivated agricultural land can push away the rains into uninhabited areas, into the mountains, for example, intensifying the rains there and causing flooding, which is exacerbated by the fact that the soil can't soak up so much water anymore and the wetlands have been drained. These are sponges for rainwater.  One of the principles that I like to work with or use as a conceptual lens is the principle that life creates the conditions for life. So healthy forests, not only do they recycle water that originally comes in from the oceans, they actually bring water in from the oceans because they transpire so much water, when this is called the biotic pump, this theory. The water rises, condenses, the condensation creates a low pressure zone that then pulls air in from far away, ultimately from over the oceans. So you're bringing new moisture in, in Brazil they call it the flying rivers. And when you cut down the forests, everybody knows this is vernacular knowledge that the rains stop coming, that forests and water have an intimate relationship. So there's way, way more I could talk about with water. I could talk about the, the damage caused by exterminating beavers that, and by straightening waterways and by building dams because the beavers used to slow down the water. A lot of what are streams today were not streams 200 years ago and, and, and we're not wearing these deep channels, but they were more of like a series of water terraces because there were five or 10 beaver dams per mile on, on the old maps, places that are, are where there's a stream now that was once just the middle of a marsh or a bog or something like that. So beavers and, and other animals and, and plants, they maintain a healthy water cycle. And when you disrupt that, then all kinds of chaos arises, floods and droughts and higher temperatures too. I looked at these, there's a whole bunch of research coming from this group of Slovakian hydrologists. And one of the maps, I remember they have an area of land with different land uses, different topographical features. There's a forest, there's a parking lot, there's a cultivated field, there's a lake, and the, they, the map has the temperature over each of these different micro regions. And, and, you know, it's like 20 degrees Celsius higher over the parking lot than it is over the forest. This, you can call this a heat island. And, you know, some of the climate skeptics, they, they, they say, well, we're not really having global warming, it's just the urban heat island effect. Well, that is of scant consolation, if we're turning more and more of the earth into a heat island. So this is, so yeah, so disrupting soil and cutting down forests, that independent of carbon dioxide is already heating up the planet and disrupting climate. And you can look at it from the carbon lens as well. When you expose all that soil, it blows away, it washes away, it's not held there. So that carbon in the soil, it oxidizes. And it goes into the atmosphere, massive amounts of carbon dioxide. It's the largest source actually of carbon, of atmosphere carbon dioxide, it's from, from damaged land. And of course, then forests, when they're cut down, they can no longer store carbon, and, and the grasses can no longer sequester it. So this leads to a different set of priorities, a different set of policies that says that, and again, this is true for me, whether or not global warming is happening, that our top priority has to be to protect and regenerate, to protect and restore and heal the systems that maintain life, the living systems that maintain the conditions for life. And key to those is water. Water and carbon too, carbon in the form of soil, carbon in the form of biomass, carbon in the form of life. These are sacred substances. So this can happen on every scale. Every person can take care of a little bit of life. But really what we need is a radical change in our agricultural system and, and a moratorium on any more deforesting of especially pristine first, old growth forests. Those have a more powerful effect on maintaining climate equilibrium. And, and also to regenerate not just soil through better agricultural practices, but also to regenerate to restore wetlands and to regenerate marine ecosystems by having no fishing zones that should probably cover at least half the ocean so that the ocean can recover. You know, maybe take it just one more, add one more thing to the water paradigm, just that that's as the Standing Rock people said, water is life. If we do not respect the water, then life will not thrive. And I really, you know, can't say that the main focus should be water, because everything's interconnected. To heal the water, you have to heal the soil. To heal the soil, you have to respect the plants. You have to allow biodiversity to thrive. You can't do model crops anymore. You can't just extract anymore. You have to look at land as a being and say what do you want? You have to listen and observe. You can't stamp a formula. You can't make a template that works in one place and applied everywhere else. The industrial mindset does not work for earth healing. You can't send drones out with tree seeds and plant them willy-nilly everywhere. How do you know that that's the right tree for that spot? How do you know that? Even if it's the right tree for the next valley over, how do you know it's right for that valley? And how do you know it's right for that spot on that valley? I can answer that question. How do you know it? You know it if you've been intimately familiar with that spot. If you've observed the land for decades or generations and you know those trees like family, then you can be a caretaker of the land. Some people are kind of savants in this and they don't need decades or generations, but that's the mindset. They at least start with that question. What wants to be here from that mindset? Miracles of healing can happen. And that mindset, I'm going to say, that is contrary to the scientific reductionistic worldview that says that there's no wanting outside of humans and maybe at a rudimentary level, you know, animals at a more primal level wanting. There's nothing that wants to be here. That's a projection. Land doesn't want. Land doesn't dream. But I think that we have to begin to see land as a wanting being to ask that question. What does the land want? What does the water want? What does the forest want? How can I participate in that? How can I serve that? How can I be part of a transition to a state of being that includes all of us that's beautiful in which all life benefits, not some life at the expense of the rest, knowing that we're in this together?


We're glad to know that you're still there. It's still the breakfast on Plants TV Africa. My name is Nyam Gul Agadje. I did promise you that I was going to be joined later on by Kofi, and thank God he's here. Good morning, Kofi. Yeah, it's almost like saying thank God it's Friday. All right, we have Jimmy Johnson on the line who is set to give us expert analysis as far as the paper review is concerned. Yes, when he's ready, he will come in and do that for us. But a very good morning to our guests today. We have very interesting stories on the front pages, Nyam Gul. I think the one that's captured a lot of attention, especially listening to the radio stations this morning, happens to be the evacuation of Nigerian students from Sudan. Some of them are expressing surprise that there are Nigerian students in Sudan at all, and saying that, well, everywhere, like I had one really presented to say, I don't. You'll be asking yourself how, how come Sudan will be a preferred destination than Nigeria? That means there are fundamental problems that will make someone to leave Nigeria, to go to Sudan of all places to get an education. Well, the Nigerian students in Benin Republic as well. It does not mean that Benin Republic universities are better than Nigerian universities in their sense. Well, you have a point. Yeah, they're steady. That's like 90% of the thing. There's no strike there. They're steady. And then in Benin Republic, some of them go there because the courses they're doing maybe will need French or something, and they need to be in an environment where they speak French all the time. So, well, you can give them that. But to Sudan, what are they studying in Sudan that we shouldn't have in Nigeria? Well, I don't know. You've raised a very important point, which is that they are steady. But let's look at what the people are saying this morning. Daily Trust is the first we'll look at. The big story there, of course, they put out the figure of 4,000. And they put the number of 4,000 to Nigerian students stranded as FG, Taris on evacuation. I was particular about the number because some other papers have a different figure. 4,000 Nigerian students stranded as FG, Taris on evacuation, lives at risk. We're consulting, Daspar Commission, regional global forces behind crisis, General Agui. All right. Nigeria's oil reserve drops to 36. And General Agui should know that. Yes. Nigeria's oil reserves drops to 36.9 billion barrels as gas rises. Okay. FG concessions on each port for 30 years. U.S. Congress moves to recognize Ramadan Eid, tenable appoints on Nanoga, Marwa, 11 others to presidential inauguration committee. Where is he? Where is he? He's working. He's working. Oh, we've not seen him. We've not seen him. Wherever he is. He's in the hospital. He's said to undergo surgery. All of that. Maybe speculation. He's still working. You can see that on the front page. Binani Saga, Buhari approves the REC suspension, orders probe of security operatives, I could read from the electoral act yesterday, who has the power to, you know, remove the REC. But of course, it must be followed by parliamentary vote. I don't know when that is going to come up. I just have a small thing here. Well, maybe a conspiracy or something. The same thing that happened in 1993, that the excuse that was given for the annulment, one of the things is that M.K. Orbiola announced himself as the president elect. Binani gave an acceptance speech in something that she knew was not true. And she's not in the picture. Anyway, let's see. There you go. All right. Sudan conflict. Now, this is on the front page of the country, by the way. Sudan conflict, 1,262 Nigerian students demand evacuation, 330 residents killed. It's really sad. Rather, Sudan Nigerian students feel forms for airlifting. Uganda, Tanzania, rescue nationals, 3,200 injured as outage, food, water, scarcity, heat, cartoons as well health organization will Sudan become another Libya. Only time will tell. Moon sighted in Saudi Arabia, Muslims mark it off until Friday. It's what they call the long weekend. Yeah, Friday and Monday. But you know, you and I. We don't have that luxury. No, this is latest. Okay. Of course, we are essential workers. More from the punch. National Assembly inducts lawmakers elect May 7. But an island developer planned to rake in 22 billion Naira revenue report. Ogun community one year blackout lingers over IKEDC, IBEDC disagreement. It sounds like the university that's owned by legal state and I think Ogun state also where they had some disagreement or they couldn't come to an agreement and they had some issues. This is now about electricity. I hope they get the resolution as quickly as possible. Wuhari suspends Adamawar Rek order security agents probe IOC's moved $21 billion investment to other countries FG. Military will ensure peaceful Hanover May 29 as DHQ. All right. We go over to the daily independent. The following headlines. Wuhari failed woefully in securing Nigeria. Or Tom says president endorses insecurity killings in Benwe. And bold and full and imposterilists in the expansionist agenda. More from that paper. The end yet to be head of 2023 presidential poll. I pack chairman. Wuhari suspends controversial Adamawar Rek like the other papers have said Nigerian students trapped in Sudan fighting in Sudan fighting seek evacuation. May 29 Hanover Day remains sacrosanct. Military assures Diri orders a prosecution of herders for breaching anti-grazing law. We didn't compromise Adamawar governorship poll, INEC even in the face of provocation remain calm. We'll be tells supporters I think they had a meeting in Asaba where you mean that statement. No specific date yet. No specific date yet. It's more confusion. More somersault. What's going on? And 2023 election was transparent. Says Wuhari can find details of that on page seven of the daily independent just in case that story tickles your curiosity. Finally, we have nature news which has the lead story on the front page. Nigeria's future lies in blue economy. We took a few. Nigeria seals Benway ethanol plant, tasks, facilities on environmental compliance. Joe Biden pledges $1 billion to international climate fund. Oil and gas opportunity for NCDNB plants focused on linkage sectors. All right. I'll leave it at that and say good morning to G.D. Johnson, senior lecturer of Nigerianity of journalism. Mr. Johnson, good morning to you. If you can hear us. Good morning, Kofi and good morning to your colleague and good morning to viewers. Thank you very much. Thank you. All over the world. Thank you. Well, as we're saying in the, you know, in the banter before we brought to you on, a story that. Well, I listened to you guys talking about Sudan. We are Nigerian students in Sudan in the Republic of Guinea. I think they do have professors that are manipulating figures for electoral, for electoral victory of people that we ensure that as soon we go and strike indefinitely, they don't participate in the charade that we call elections. So besides, and like your colleague said, you have steady, steady, steady, steady academic, academic and academic calendar. And besides, they have better infrastructure. It's just for you to go and take a visit. And then if you look at, you know, number of students to lecturer ratio is incomparable to what we have in Nigeria. So it's just for us to be playing the oski to think that everything about Nigeria, because we call ourselves, they have claimed that of Africa, we think everything about Nigeria is the best. You see, there are so many things that are wrong with this country. And then until we face that, until we come to that realization, we will not take critical steps in addressing it. You saw the performances of VCs, of professors that they couldn't even do physical arithmetic. And those are the ones that are teaching students to build their schools that we have in Nigeria. Before we move on to the next headline, what are your thoughts on the fact that Nigerians in diaspora commission is saying that they are consulting? And normally, like I say, we have a confused setup as far as Nigeria's foreign policy is concerned, because you know, I don't think you need a Nigerians in diaspora commission when there is a foreign ministry. But anyway, that's the best of you. What do you think is a way forward? Because people will soon start complaining on Twitter that the government has abandoned Nigerian students in Sudan. The situation there is not as simple as that. What do you think? Well, the fact that, unfortunately, the fact that you are Cambridge train doesn't mean that you have better intelligence, a better coordination leadership than something that is trained locally. We have seen to a large extent that there's no policy trust for Nigerian foreign policy. It's clear since the beginning of this administration, this administration is coming to its end. We have not seen that it's the same person that has been minister for foreign affairs. There's no clear court direction with respect to is it Nigerian first, or is it African first, or is it Afrocentric or Nigrocentric policy we focus on? We've seen the response of government to what happened in Libya, to what happened in Ukraine, to what happened in other places. Why would they be studying the event? The event in Sudan, everyone can see the carnage that is going on in Sudan. Everyone can see with their eyes how the situation in Sudan has gotten worse. So you don't have to study the, you have to take quick response in addressing the issue. But what do I know when these people do intervention, the thing that, oh, they are doing Nigerians people, they are coming to a aid. You recall the time, you recall how they went on here celebrating the intervention of the federal government in rescuing Peter Obi when Peter Obi was detained, was detained in the, in, in, when he went, the last time he went to United Kingdom. So it's, it's rather unfortunate that we found ourselves in, in this, in this dark street, dark street in which we put people in position. They don't even know what the, what the government of the United Kingdom is. Sorry, sorry to interject here. What about the fact that it's not really as simple and straightforward as it, it may seem in other situations where you can just go in and what do you call it again and rescue your, your, your citizens. This time the, the, the bombing, the shelling, the, the airport is in the center of Khartoum, the, all the family, the bars are in the center of Khartoum. Kofi, why do you have to wait till you get to this stage before you start the evacuation process? You have the intel. You think that other nations, United States of America, United Kingdom, I know that we have not evacuated their foreign nationals. Kofi, you see, or South Africa or Egyptian, Kofi, the, the bottom line is very, very simple. We, if it's, look, I'll give you a classic example. If it's another citizen that commits an infraction, you see the full might of the state coming in. Everybody, they quickly react. You wonder the quick response of, of these agencies of government. And then when it's someone that is not just standardized, commits an infraction of similar magnitude, you just see that you just go code and it seems as if there's nothing that is happening. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's a typical of us when it comes to responding to issues affecting Nigerian nationals outside the shores of Nigeria. We are not a portion in blame. We are just stating the facts the way it is. It is, it is, it is just clear that those who have given responsibility, those who have given an assignment, they are filled with us time and time again. And such people have no business in any leadership position again. Okay. Let's, let's move away from, from Sudan, Sudan back to Nigeria. Now, the federal government is mauling, raising the salaries of workers. The federal government is also talking about removing fuel subsidy. The federal government is talking about a lot of things. And right now we're, we're seeing that 1.5 trillion Naira has been approved for contracts even when it is just barely 30 days to the end of this administration. But then we hear that the federal reserves, the oil reserves have been depleted. They have gone down. What is, what does this mean to our economy? Well, the focus of government should be on how to reduce the double digit inflation that we are not to contribute to that inflation.  And then also remember the COVID relief measures in which that the minister was practically sharing money by ourselves. That's by the fact that we have BVA and we have cashless policy and government could distribute this money to people by their banking platform. So require them to open an account so that you can track, you can monitor. They've not given us, they've not given us the amount of money they spent on COVID intervention with respect to cash that were physically distributed. Now you are coming up with the idea that you are going to distribute 5,000 for six months for 10 million ideas. Ah, these people think that we are fools. And then you keep awarding contracts at the twilight of your administration, two billion, 10 billion, you know, you are wondering where is this money coming from? Why would your foreign reserve not be depleted? It will be depleted, of course, because you are just allocating money in the same year you had an election is the same year you are going to do sensor. You ask yourself this question. Are these people, do they, do they, do they put some of these things, some of their decisions to intelligence test? Why will you do an election and sensor in the same year in less than six months to the end of your administration? I don't, I don't, I don't understand when you have eight years to do, to do sensor. You did nothing. You did nothing, you did nothing about it. And you start awarding contract left track and center injecting money into the economy.  And at the end of the day, these are the common cities that will pay for it. On the issue of subsidy, I don't want to say anything again on subsidy. Because I don't know why our colleagues keep reporting. So he's on strike. Subsidy strike. Okay, there's, there's another issue. Can you hear us? Because we can't hear you anymore. I really wanted him to talk about this concept. I don't know why our colleagues keep, you know, took 1,200 Naira. When this administration came into office, it was those 300 Naira that were selling good meat. I, I traveled to a lot during the course of, I said, I asked my son to go out. Service the car, the car we used to service for less than 3,000 Naira. And this, these people used their money to do anything. Someone like fashion, someone like a curfew, someone like lawan, someone like, well, this is not, some of them since 1999, some since 2000 and since 2000, they've been in government. So they don't even know the price of the cost of food stuff in the market. They're far away from reality. And these are the people that are leading us. And then you now see a situation whereby the minister of labor, the minister of state for labor will travel to United States to America for vacation. And then he will be sharing the picture of where he's leaving the car, the affluent that is going on jogging. Can he imagine the minister or minister or secretary of state in America coming to Nigeria to do vacation and sharing that image to Americans in the midst of economic crisis, in the midst of high youth unemployment? It think that is possible? Okay. Well, there are a lot of things on the papers that we would like to touch on. Another thing is federal government concessions on each apart for 30 years. Is this the way to go? That should be on the daily trust. Yeah, this is daily trust, really, like the last story. Well, you see, look, in Nigeria operates one of the airports in London. The consensual is the way. Look, government has no business in business except to regulate. That's the reality. We should concession the port, not even on your nature. On a port, you come to on do here, you have a deep water port.  You give it to them, like private people, let them get engaged. That's their own responsibility to get engaged in business and government, the pay revenue back to government. But when you give these services to government to manage, we have seen mismanagement. The classic example I usually give is the issue of, is the issue of telecom sector. Look at what has happened in the telecom sector. We just align private participation in the telecom sector. Or you come to our industry, in the in the broadcasting industry, through the deregulation of by 1992 deregulation. See what it has done or the deregulation of 1991, 1992, or the banking sector. Or you look at the deregulation of education, align private participation to participate in tertiary institutions. If not for those public and even for those private and religious, but this institution, what do you think will have happened with the insensors strike that we have had in successive administrations from 1999 to today, a lot of our children will be, will be uneducated, working room in the street. So we need that. We need government to take his hands off business, but to regulate to regulate businesses so that people in the society can be better. Employment opportunities can be created and then a lot of the stages and mismanagement will be dealt with. So I support that. I support us concessioning the Unichapot, which also concessioned the Apapapot, Tinkana, Atlanta and the rest of it. And then look for opportunities whereby we can have ports and people can private investors can invest heavily in this. And then we have partners, we have ports in Calabar, we have ports in Binay, we have ports in all of those coastal areas, which people could navigate internationally. And it could be a one stop for people, for them to even not coming to Nigeria, that in the course of going through through connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Nigeria is so blessed that we are in the heart of Africa, we are in the heart of Africa, connecting South America, not America. And at the same time connecting Asia through our international waters. But what do I know? I don't know anything. And this we put at the S-part and once you see something, because then you will be looking for ways and ways, means to find TV stations or to find journalists and the rest of it. All right. Yes, yes. I think I'll join Sambu say it's not a portion. All right. Let's go over to the punch. Dear Dhamma, your indexions have come and gone, but the reverberations are still being felt. The front page of the punch captures the latest development at the top left corner. Buhari suspends a Dhamma wreck, orders security agents probe. What are your thoughts on that? Bearing in mind the constitutional procedure that is to be followed from all of any wreck and so on and so forth. First, first and foremost, I look to banter your colleague, give with, um, with tabula's self-declarection that affected the legal and how it was promptly arrested for declaring himself the winner. With that, there's no doubt that he commented a crime. It's a crime against the state except proclamation of winning an election in which the rightful winner has not been declared. So she too, she faced the consequences. However, on the issue of the wreck, I think that I've advocated this Cofino that we should take away INEC from the executive in the constitution. In the constitution, you see INEC is regarded as if it's starting under a section which is called a certain executive body. I think the National Judicial Commission should be responsible for the hiring and firing of people in INEC that we need to establish independent, but it's usually, however, it's still the president that calls the shot. If it's the president, he will place the pipe at the case, the tone. That's my take on that and that's cause for reform. And in that, the client assembly should look into this and should take the decisive step in taking INEC away from the executive and making INEC to be under the judiciary because you can't, you can't be the one appointing the body that will super tent over your election. However, on the, on the, on the.  With that 10 degree, you believe that there's a measure of independent. But who had, who had the National Judicial Commission? And then who appoints the head of the National Judicial Commission?  We believe that they should be able to do the rightful thing. However, there's another which I want us to look at the, from what happened in that time, you can extrapolate that because how many people have lost their election as a result of complicity on the part of the return officer and the electoral officer in charge at as of assembly election, at as of rep election on senatorial election. Other elections which we did not, it was because there was too much spotlight on Adamawa. That's why we were able to see the drama. And it was because the returning officer did not play games. If the returning officer had played games with the, with the, with the wouldn't be here in these stories. There are many cases like that. Cases of elections that were declared that we've seen protest. You know the election of Nassarama State. You saw the drama that surrounded the declaration of election result in Katna State. You saw the drama that surrounded the declaration of, of, of result in Enubu State. We saw the drama of Abia State. Gubernatorial elections, I'm talking about Gubernatorial elections of, of, of Abia State. You saw the drama. So from that, you could extrapolate and come to a conclusion that the entire election needs investigation. So it's not yet to rule. Let me borrow the Swahili Swahili. It's not yet to rule when it comes to election and anybody trying to gloss over and say, oh, you know what we did decisively with Adamawa State. It was because somebody was not complicit. We saw complaints and complaints and complaints and complaints. That one of, that one of Nassarama, it's wonderful. It's, it's, it's, it's what Fela Nikolapo calls government magic. The one of Karnu, the one of, the one of Katna, wonderful. I know that wonderful election. You forget, you forget in reverse. That's what they, that's what they told them, the losers of the election. Don't worry, go to court. You forget in reverse state. It's the same thing with what happened in reverse state. In reverse state, in broad daylight, people are prevented from going about their legitimate right. Reverse state as DSS, as all the trappings of all security agencies. Yet, people, and people are prevented. So a party with non-face, with non-character, deputy speaker, local government chairman, they've not been arrested, they've not been prosecuted, destroyed, vandalized properties of the opposition, prevented people from going to high-necked coffees to lodge their informal complaint. Oh my goodness. And they said this election is, is transparent, is open, is free, is fair. And we saw it, the one in reverse state was transmitted live. I've given you an example, any good state election, gubernatorial election, abbey state, gubernatorial, gubernatorial election, Nassarawa state, gubernatorial Katna, and then we saw the drama in the, the, the, the, the, August state and then we saw the drama, we saw the drama we are, we are witnessing in Nandamawa state, plain, plain, plain that, and some states justify the illegality. It was because the illegality camera spotlight was thrown on those illegality. That's why we are screaming. And as I said, a lot of people have lost their election at, as of assembly level, at, as of rep level, at senatorial level, to this kind of shenanigans. That's why we have so many, that's why we have so many, that's why we have so many litigation with respect to this election. And then coffee, just give me a minute, coffee. I have advocated this. You know, there was, I didn't support violence. However, I said the kind of security they provide for themselves when they make the announcement, whether at the state level or the national level is the kind of security they should provide for each of the polling unit. The returning officer at the state level does not have two heads than the, the returning officer at the one level at the polling unit. It's the same function. It's the same function. Let them open up, let them not secure the place and see how talks, even the one they secured in Nandamawa, what happened? You still see talks and there was an outrage. There was an outrage. I saw Festus Okoye coming on here and he was, he was, he was not outraged with when they beat a returning officer at the local government, at the local government level. He was not outraged when a returning officer at the one level election does not take place at the coalition center. Election takes place at the polling unit. That's where power is derived from. It's through the ballot system. That is should be the most secured place. When it comes to the out on the security and steps. I think it was in Port Hacot where the returning officer for Fawaga, the local government area, it took the CP going to local government to rescue her and bring her with the results to the state coalition center. Well, you made a point. You said in Nandamawa state, the returning officer refused to play the game that the rec was playing. Probably that's why the results went out. But I don't know, GD, don't be too sure. You're not there. You don't know what game, whether I played any game. We don't know yet because the same PDP hailing Nigerian press, Nigerian media, hailing the civil society organizations and all but for driving home the point and making sure that they won that election. The same PDP that is doing some other things in other states acquired public state. This is not PDP APC water view. This is about Nigeria. Whoever wins elections should come to the ballot box. That's what we are saying. Look, there's no I have told you what is different between PDP and APC. Acabio was in PDP. For God knows when. Every actor, players in PDP APC, even the property today were either in PDP or APC in the past. They are the same. They have a character. They are new parts. No matter how hard it rains, it cannot take away their black spot. The way they've been doing things, that's the way they try to continue to do. And we are saying no, let whoever wins the election be the person that is declared the winner. Let the winner come to the ballot box. Just a moment as we wrap up here on this segment, there is this thing by the defense headquarters that the military will ensure peaceful handover May 29. And I'm just thinking, are all the things that are supposed to be done, done? Are all the conditions right for them to be able to do this? Are we sure of the May 29? Military are now the people who are saying they're protecting our democracy. Your comments on that as we wrap up. What is the business in coming out to see that they will do that? It's what is required of them constitutionally. It's what is required of them except something we don't know. They know something we don't know. That's why they are giving that because it's trying to see the government or another government is seamless. So we don't need the statement or that we guarantee. No, there's no need for granted seamless. In democracy, the military must be seen and not be heard. And we have seen situation whereby we have seen security agencies. We are hearing them too much. When it comes to in democracy, the security agencies and the rest of them must be seen and not be heard. And these ones, they're making too much statement. And to digress a little, the last one, you see they are providing 40,000 men, 50,000 men, yet you see violence erupting left and center during the election. If you go and sit down, the May 29 is a concern. It's then the constitution that they will be transitioned. So we don't need any assurance from them because it's seamless except we know what we don't know. It should be seamless. They are procedures for it with respect to elections have been conducted. Winners have been declared. Each user in court. So it's no longer in the hands of anybody in the hands of the court. What needed to be done by various agents of government should be done. All right. In by May 29, there is no pronouncement by the courts, which in any case, you are not going to get. The person that has been declared the winner will be sworn in. And then the procedure, the court processes will go on until there is a final determination by the Supreme Court. And then whatever the outcome, if the winner is declared as still the winner, no problem. And then if the reverse is the case, then the issue of government be effected. That's where they come in. They will effect the necessary changes that is required of them. And I think moving forward, one of the issues we put before the attempt assembly is that all litigations leading to the election must be concluded. All right. That should be an amendment. That should be an amendment we should be looking forward to in the entire assembly, all litigations. So we should conduct the election for six months. Good luck. Good luck in your hope and your wish for that. Yes, that will happen at the end of the day. But Jiri, thank you so much for your time. Nigerian politics is just a gift that keeps given. And I say sometimes to cope, you just look for the funny aspect of it and laugh away the frustration. Jiri, thank you for your time. We look forward to having you next week. Thank you. What's the name of my friend? Nyamgul. I knew it was. Come to that. Nyamgul. Nyamgul, okay, that is registered. Nyamgul is a pleasure to be with you. You are from the North Central. I'm from Cross River, Ogodja. Okay, okay. Ogodja, you are sharing bad news with us. No fuss, no fuss. You are sharing bad news with us. Thank you very much. Thank you. The pleasure is to have Nyamgul. It's my pleasure. My brother. Okay, no problem. We'll still keep enjoying the government magic together. I've been to our Muslim brothers. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yes, fantastic. All right. It was Fela Husan called Ben Maji. You know, and a lot of things he says is still true today. Yeah. That's the amazing thing about it. Yeah, the president said the election was transparent. I think it was because he voted and showed us how he voted. So it was really transparent. So I clap for him. I don't clap for him. That's the funniest thing I've had today. There's meaning to it. It was really transparent. Anyway, we'll take a break. When we come back, we'll have more conversations ahead. Of course, I've called the views of our kids in tearing order on Julio Sabure, the chairman of, should I say, the former chairman of the Labour Party. Stay with us.


someone asked me what is authentic marketing and I want to share that with you very briefly in this video. Authentic marketing is basically doing marketing where you aren't using exaggeration or hype because you know that by doing marketing in a way that's not totally honest your audience is going to sense that over time and it's gonna be harder and harder to build a fan base that is true that actually is loyal to you that trusts you and the other reason very importantly is that it's not authentic to you your heart doesn't feel right when you do marketing where you know that you aren't being honest or you're pretending to be someone or something you're not so what does that really mean practically I'll break down marketing into two simple actions there's creating content consistently and then they're selling your product services and authentic content marketing is basically creating making videos or writing blog posts or recording podcasts where you are telling stories that are true for you in your life stories of growth of discovery of exploration where you overcame something or you learned something that was important and related to your business it's also about discovering new things if you discover new tools exercises ideas quotes stories that are helpful to you or to your clients share that as well so you're basically doing content that is genuinely exciting and helpful the genuine exciting to yourself and that you believe is going to be helpful to to your ideal readers or viewers so that's authentic content marketing and then authentic selling is then as you first of all you are building your audience through authentic content marketing people discover your messages through social media or through word-of-mouth or through online advertising and then they start to follow you and your building trust that's well-earned because you are you are authentically sharing things that are real for you and that are helpful for you and then authentic selling is then letting the your audience know about your products and services and it's doing it authentically meaning yours you're being honest about what kinds of people are going to be most benefiting from that product or service and what most buyers can expect to experience when they when they try that product or service so I hope this is helpful as a really quick overview my name is George cow and I love talking about authentic business and authentic marketing so feel free to check out my other videos or add your comments or questions below this one I'll see you in the next video
