Good morning, everybody. It is Friday, May 20th. The time right now is 6 o'clock in the morning. I am actually getting it pretty late to start to my practice. I usually get up a lot earlier But I'm about to start my practice hence why I don't have any makeup on right now And I have no lights in here because this is not this is my kitchen. I'm telling you guys I literally practice right in front of the dog bowl But I thought we would go ahead and address Tomorrow I'm gonna be filming our video regarding yoga and Even though it's not gonna air until Thursday, but I am recording it tomorrow but I thought that I would go ahead and address some questions that I got about wrist pain and wrist pain is super super super super common Especially for the ladies out there This is because of the way our bodies are structured Versus the way a male body is structured if you guys remember from our work on the spiritual stuff like in the Madeline Manuscript and Kundalini and Prana upon all that kind of stuff a Prana is an upward rising energy upon is a downward Raising energy we carry all human beings carry both Prana and a Prana But men are described as being pranic while women are described as being Ponic pranic is the Sun the solar a panic is the moon the downward and This describes the energy cycle. So a man if you look at a man's body They are much broader in their shoulders and have stronger arms. Their body is more linear They don't have hips like women do and women are more a panic.  That's very a panic. And so for a woman's body our legs are normally stronger than our arms And so what tends to happen in like when you're first starting a yoga program or any type of exercise program where you're doing things like planks and I'll show me yoga in the primary series loan. We have 60 charangas and For women what tends to happen is they tend to take their body weight in their lower body and Dump it into the shoulders in the upper body We have to remember that all the joints are aligned with each other So a lot of times it creates like a domino effect So if the shoulder is out of joint is going to push the elbow out of joint Which is then going to push the wrist out of joint now Vice versa if the wrist is out of joint, it's going to push the elbow push push the shoulder So what tends to happen with women? I call it the chaturanga seizure is Women will take and this is not specifically in chaturanga In fact, I'm not even going to do a chaturanga for you this morning because if you're not strong enough to do a chaturanga yet You have to build up to it So what tends to happen is women tend to get into a plank position and because they're not strong They tend to do this they dump into the shoulders like this And so when a joint is in its actual socket it can bear weight when a joint is out of socket It cannot bear weight All right, and a lot of women don't know how to control the weight in their joint They haven't been taught that and because their body isn't Conditioned to hold up a body weight of a body mass. It doesn't really know what to do So the basic thing that I can teach you where's two basic things we can look at First is going to be protraction and retraction. This is super important So I have a block here. I only have one block you can see my dog is actually chewed up my block Because I typically do not work with props in my practice I that's not really something we use an ostomy yoga because props can be on Enabling and inhibiting to your actual practice until you getting stronger But for this exercise, I am going to use a block because we're going to look at protraction and retraction So this is what I mean. Let me put the camera up a little bit. Okay. I found a stool So I think this is going to be better. So protraction and retraction sit up straight Make sure your spine is straight because that's again the spine You can see with my sports brother the spine is where she's using it is So if you're sitting like this and your spine's popping out Sit up a little bit. Make sure you've got your spine in a proper straight line So what I mean by protraction retraction. So we're sitting sideways. This is retraction This is protraction. So when people are weak, you see them doing this in a plank, right? So you can take a block if that's easier for you or a book or a pillow and practice protraction retraction protraction retraction protraction Retraction so when you're in a plank position So plank position or especially a posture like downward facing dog is a variation of a handstand It's not a resting posture It is a variation of a handstand if you're in a handstand if you're doing a handstand you're not going to be retracted That's not going to be good for you. Your body is going to naturally Protract right that's the 8th position as well in Sun Salutations It's a protraction of the arms the shoulders actively protracting And so that's what you want to catch in your plank position. You want to catch a protraction so you can come to a plank position and You can try that so retraction is this that's when someone's super weak. They're retracted Protraction is this and maybe you can actually see my muscles how they turn on so retraction is this Protraction is this the whole body engages everything engages it also choose the legs To engage as well the legs have to be an active participant in these plank positions You can also take a block or a ball and stick it in between your legs I have my students do this a lot so that their their legs are Actively involved squeezing the block in a plank forces your legs to carry some of your weight Right, so just dumping forward. They're actually helping your whole body move through this position All right, so when you're in that protracted position where you're actually pushing away You're stabilizing your wrist as well You're getting the muscles in the wrist to activate to turn on and sometimes Wrist pain isn't necessarily coming from protraction and retraction. That's just the big obvious one Sometimes what you're experiencing with wrist pain Especially when you first start to do a practice like yoga or anything that involves a lot of planks Is you're literally just having to use your wrist muscles in a different way Our wrist muscles get used a lot in our day, especially I write a lot So let my wrist muscles get used anyway as a child to play the piano So my wrist muscles are already pretty good But with that being said when you start doing this you're using them in a different way They're being activated in another way versus what you normally do If you do exercises that involve pulling Like weights so one thing you can do. I have like two pound weights here. I do this sometimes. I'll just roll my wrist with weights You can do that as well. But if you're doing weightlifting You're it's more of a pulling sensation, right? It's it's a pulling of the weight Wearing things like yoga you're pushing Another pulling type of motion would be for rock climbers There are actually a lot of people who are rock climbers You know, it's on the yoga and it's a totally different sensation It's a totally different way to move your body. So if you're rock climbing you're pulling When you're doing yoga, you're pushing so again different activation. And so that's also a really important key as well physical fitness is something that's very Gray Like for my age, I know that I'm physically fit for my age in a general sense however, my physical fitness is Up to par for yoga and for like bar Right. I'm not a long-distance runner.  My body's not conditioned for that And so we have to think about it that way when we are Doing exercise whatever exercise we're picking. We are conditioning our body to that Execution of energy if that makes sense, you know, it's like we've been talking to jamie solea a lot It's like a figure skaters are super fit, right? There's like nobody found them at all. They're super fit but They're not the same type of fit as a swimmer Same thing the swimmers are super fit too Not the same type of fit as a physical or as a figure skater Does that make sense? And so that's why it's also important to find an exercise and a practice that suits your actual body um I have once upon a time. I was a long-distance runner. I ran in high school and all through college and um As I got older running just that didn't suit my body anymore. I started to get really inflamed by it That's around the time I started practicing yoga too. And if you're doing something my gosh long yoga You really there's no energy to do both And so when I switched and I stopped doing long-distance running My body healed itself And so sometimes you have to also acknowledge and a lot of that's going to have to do with your dosha too Now and and also your blood type So I am an o negative a lot of athletes are o negative because we take in more oxygen So things like long-distance running as far as my cardiovascular system when I was doing it It was easy for me to go for miles and miles and miles. That was because of my blood type I was able to take in more oxygen through my blood. However, because of my dosha being vatapitta That's why the impact of running ended up being not so great for me It backfired and so you have to be very very much aware of that with that being said though Don't uh make up an excuse As to why you can't do something so if you're just having wrist pain That's not an excuse to quit doing things like yoga because that's actually really Really common. Sorry my dog He's snoozing right there well He's used to me exercising this early in the morning, but um wrist pain is not something you need to you need to actually look at your alignment because As we understand I've said this before in um, I don't know if I've said this on a video But I do say this in my courses. So we always always tell my courses that there are three teachers in astral yoga There's the practice itself the actual teacher and then the injury So sometimes when we're dealing with an injury Actually, I would say probably 99% of the time that we're dealing with an energy. It's actually a karmic response and again karma isn't necessarily bad All karma is is your work And so as I tell my students the the posture isn't hurting you You are hurting yourself in the posture because there's a misalignment And when the body is out of alignment That means that something in the the energetic body is also out of alignment And if we fix the energetic body, we can then fix the physical body So if you do feel pain if you do feel discomfort Don't quit just go back and course correct Figure out what it is that your body is trying to tell you All your body is trying if your wrists are bothering you Your body body is either trying to tell you that your shoulders are not in alignment that you're not protracting or or That you just need to give it time that your muscles and your wrists need to get stronger around this particular form of exercise You also the second point of reference I want to tell everybody is watch your hands So when I see students in like a downward facing dog, for example, and their hand is like not where's my block So say this is the floor and their hands kind of like this. They're not fully engaged on the The ground with their hand. I know that there as a teacher I know that there's weakness and that there's a disconnect And so sometimes I'll actually come in just put my foot lightly put my foot on someone's hand to get their hand to press to floor You also while pressing your hand to the floor need to engage into your fingertips as well If you see somebody in a handstand, I'll try to find some handstand pictures I haven't taken awesome the shots in a while, but I'll see if I can find some my handstand pictures that show my hands If you see somebody's hands in a handstand, they're like this All right, the palm is on the ground and the fingertips are engaged into the floor All right, because there's power in the tips of the finger we talked about in the hands video You know, we can we can press into the palm and you can press into the tips of your fingers That's engaging an energetic response. So your whole hand is activated Even in a plank position It's harder to do to like lose connection with your hand in a plank But if you find yourself doing that 100 that's your body telling you to press into the hand to push away From the floor Okay, it's not going to be easy. It's going to generate a lot of sweat. That's good We want that sweat that sweat is what's detoxing you and it's going to force Also your core to start to react You know, you you don't have to get a six pack just from doing crunches If you do things like planks or practice yoga It's going to happen anyway because you're forcing the core to also engage with your arms So anyway, I hope that makes a lot of sense I am going to try to at some point make a video about your hips as well and maybe show you guys some Really intense stretches that are really good for the hips because we hold a lot of Hips are like, uh, the junk drawer, you know how in everybody's house There's a drawer that you just shove things you don't know what to do with it like all these menus Bone chargers, you know, just kind of shove it in the drawer That's kind of what happens with your hips a lot Like all these uncomfortable emotions that you don't particularly want to deal with at the time Get shoved into your hips and so the hips get really tight Even for people who don't have tight hips, I don't have tight hips And I still deal with a lot of emotion coming from my hips Hip is the biggest joint, right? And that's where joints are where energy is stored So I am going to be working on that. I have to figure out how to shoot that because I don't have type of equipment to shoot like an exercise type of video So I have to figure out how to do that for you guys, but I am working on it Okay, if you have any more questions physical questions about the practice of yoga or just any type of Injury you're dealing with or anything like that ask me down below in the comment section And I'll try to answer those questions again. I am going to be filming the yoga video tomorrow saturday It will be released on thursday though where I answer some of your more Philosophical questions about the practice of yoga. All right guys, I'm going to go practice now and I'll talk to you soon


World War II is a scar upon human race forever. World War II is supposed to have taken the lives of anywhere between eleven to twelve million people. More than two hundred political prisoners were burned to death. It is not about who did it. We as human beings, that's what we do, unfortunately, till now. But what we are looking at is not going to come in the form of bombs. There's no bang bang happening here, this happens quietly. Every responsible scientist in the world is saying by 2045, we'll be producing forty percent less food on the planet and our population will be 9.2 billion people. If it goes this way, World War II will look like a small blimp because a forty percent less food means it's estimated in six months about 1.5 to 1.7 billion people can die. Climate change, food security, nutrition security, water quality, water renewability, power diversity, land grab, political stability, human health, well-being, peace, prosperity. Soil is the basic. Soil is a basic entity on which all trust real life depends. Ninety-five percent of all the food which is consumed by human comes from soil. As much as ninety-five percent of all antibiotics taken by human and animal come from soil. Soil and life have evolved together. There is no soil without life and there is no life without soil. In a handful of soil, there are over five to seven billion organisms. And just like how our body functions, the food that we eat, actually we cannot digest all by ourselves. We don't have the necessary enzymes and alkalines to digest this completely. Only because of the microbial gut microbes that are there, we digest food. The same is true with all the plants and trees. They cannot take the nutrients from the soil by themselves. They need the help of the microorganisms. Good guy bacteria, good guy fungi, protozoa, nematodes, micro arthropods, earthworms, inkotraids, all of those organisms are required to have a good healthy soil so your plant gets the balance of everything that it needs every second of every day. The first fifteen inches, twelve to fifteen inches of soil is responsible for eighty-seven percent of the life on the planet including you and me. And that, today we are using machines where they're ploughing almost like twelve to fourteen inches deep and leaving it open to the sun. This is like we peel off our skin and stand in the sun, you know? You will be screaming. That's exactly what the land is doing. Land is screaming but nobody's hearing. Just plowed and left open, killing all the microbial activity. See right now the organisms here, the only food they can eat is organic content. Where will the organic content come from? Here you see all these leaves, dry leaves falling down. We won't pick it up nor sweep it away. We leave it like that, it'll become part of the soil. It is only the green litter from the trees and other, whether it's grass or bushes, whatever, or the animal waste, which can put organic content into the soil. In normal agricultural soil the minimum organic content should be between three to six percent. The most minimum is three percent. Three percent is kind of the borderline where you've got enough diversity in the kinds of foods that are present so that all of the necessary sets of microorganisms will be able to perform their jobs. In most of the western world we have so destroyed sets of species of different functional groups that we're on the edge of not being able to come back from that. Over sixty-two percent of India's soil has organic content less than point five percent. Entire southern Europe, the soil organic content is just around one percent or below. Over fifty percent of the top soil in whole of United States is gone. You've heard of dinosaurs going extinct, dodos going extinct, but this is a question of soil extinction. See, this is… this is sand. If you add enough organic content into this, this will become rich soil. Similarly, if you take all the organic content out of the soil, it will become sand. So, this is called as desertification in the world. World's agricultural soils are becoming sand or turning into a desert largely across the world because there is no organic content. Now the soil that we are using is not our generation soil. We are using up the soil of the unborn child. We have no business to do that because soil is not our property. It's a legacy that's come to us and it's a legacy that we should leave behind. Living soil, because once there is no richness in soil, there is no way there is richness in life. Right now, United Nations statistics say that we may have agricultural soil only for another eighty to hundred crops. This means it is a matter of forty to fifty years after that there could be severe food shortages and getting rich organic land or soil will become the basis of battles and wars on this planet. People talk about the weapon of mass disruption, nuclear bombs and missiles and other things. Yes, what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is unforgivable. Yes, we forget one of the biggest weapon of mass destruction is hunger, malnutrition, unavailability of healthy environment. Even now, hunger-related death in the world are sixteen to seventeen every minute. That, my friend, is the weapon of mass destruction. Now, we had in December 2019, we had 690 million people globally which were hungry. Out of that, 40 million were in the United States. So, it's not just Tambakthu or some part in India or elsewhere, even in the US. I was talking to the WFP director who is from United States. He said that by 2035, there could be severe famines in Chicago and Illinois region because the soil conditions have depleted so badly, it can easily happen. Civil wars are expected. By 2035, 2040, they're expecting many many civil wars within countries because not everybody in a given country will have food. So, naturally there'll be fights. If 40% less food in India means 40% of the people don't have food, you think they'll just get hungry and sit in a corner? No, they will do things that you can't imagine. You must understand, all human civilizations have been built only because of the fire of the belly to fulfill this. The same fire which built human civilizations can burn the damn thing down if it is not quenched. Do not underestimate that. Since 1990, there have been around 30 wars in Africa. 27 of these wars were fought for the sake of acquiring fertile soil. The great revolutions of the world, the Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 was mainly for bread. Even their slogan is peace, land and bread. That is the slogan of the Russian Revolution. Food scare cities in France were the main trigger for the French Revolution. What happened in China, you know, the so-called cultural revolution is also because of repeated famines across the country. And once there is no bread on the street, it's easy to light the fuse. If you want peace, everybody must have bread, roti, food. There is no peace if there is no food. It's simpler than that. Soil is a most neglected part of the human environment. Degrading soils means losing and wasting potential food today and forever. A human being like other animals are requiring a fairly complex diet and many nutrients. And these nutrients we get through our food and that essentially depend on the soils. So the soils rich in nutrients, in minerals, a precondition for a healthy diet. There's a direct link between soil quality in terms of nutrients and diet quality in terms of what we eat. So that is not well understood by many people. You have to put into the soil nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, micronutrients, calcium, potassium, organic matter, content, which is mineral-identic. It must be returned back to the soil in one form or the other or soil to be productive. Soil produces straw grains, roots. I believe that if people take the grains and they turn the roots and straw back to the soil so that soil gets its share of production, that's a good thing. If you take away the straw, then soil does not get anything. So progressively soil is being degraded, depleted, devoid of the essential elements. That is when we call degradation of soil health. And when soil is degraded, people living on it are also becoming progressively miserable. The soil depletion in United States has led to 21% drop in vitamin A in all the fruits, vegetables and everything else that you're eating. 30% drop in vitamin C, 37% drop in iron levels, 27% drop in calcium levels. The things that today you all think is very healthy to eat salads and stuff, from the early 20th century what level of nutrients they had and what they have today is only 10% left, 90% lower than what it was in early 20th century. The Center for Disease Control, which is right now playing a significant role in this COVID situation says all Americans are potassium deficient. 90% of the Americans have vitamin E deficiency, 70% have vitamin K deficiency, 52% don't have enough magnesium, 43% don't have enough vitamin A, 40% don't have enough vitamin C. This is in the most affluent nation.  One serious problem that the world is facing right now is by 2030 it is expected 1.6 billion people will migrate. Out of this, 0.9 billion will come from Africa. See, when people migrate in an unplanned way, what they go through is unbelievable, especially women and children. What they go through in unplanned migration, where they're being dragged through all kinds of unfamiliar terrain, what happens to them is unbelievable. Nobody should face this. All young women like between 14 to 18 years of age, they're being seriously exploited. It is expected that in India about 220 million people will move to urban centers in the next eight to ten years time. Tell me in your city, do you have place for another 20-30 million people extra? This will happen in a big way across the world. Yes, there are soil refuges. Yes, there are climate refuges. Yes, there are drought refuges. And those refuges go and knock door of other people. A U.S. southern border is a very good of them. People jumping into the Mediterranean without realizing whether they'll make it on the other side or not is a very good example. There are several millions of refuges in the world because the land which they grew up on cannot afford their services, their basic needs. Eventually the solution lies to make sure that the soil can support them. There's a very strong link between soil degradation and global issues. For example, climate change. So current civilization, I call it carbon civilization. Everything we do is based on carbon, fossil fuel based carbon. And therefore we have depleted also carbon not only from fossil fuel but also from soil. Maximum amount of carbon was always in the soil. But now a lot of it is in the atmosphere where it should not be. If it gets into the atmosphere, as you've heard of global warming and climate change, all these impacts happen. But nearly forty percent of this is happening simply because soil is left open. For this, the main contributor is agriculture or open lands. The same soil which would have taken carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere is now releasing it simply because we are leaving it open and there is no life or microbial activity. When the global mean temperature goes from zero to one, that's a big thing. Go from one to two, it's a massive thing. Go beyond two, you're in a disaster zone. We are now on our way to a warming of three degrees Celsius and we're doing it in a blink of time. I mean it's just this extraordinary exponential rise of temperature on earth. But if we can take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through plots and put it back to the soil and keep it there, then we deplete the carbon from the atmosphere and make global warming lesser serious problems. The Brazilian part of the Amazon rainforest has, according to the latest science, tipped over from being a carbon sink for thousands of years, one of the most important carbon sinks on planet earth, to now being a carbon source. So it has already tipped over and is releasing more carbon than it's taking up. So soil has become, you know, if anything even more important, even existential. See, the whole life process on this planet is carbon-based. So the same goes for a blade of grass, the same goes for the coconut tree, the same goes for every other creature on this planet, essentially carbon. Where is all this carbon coming from? The great miracle on the planet in the process of evolution of creation on this planet is photosynthesis. A limitless amount of energy coming there from the sun, using that the atmospheric carbon is absorbed and it goes through a whole series of process through millions of microbial life and gets stored in the soil. What gets stored in this way, going through three to four cycles of microbes, this gets stored up to a thousand years minimum. We've become a geological force of change. We are at risk of destabilizing not only, you know, local ecosystems and local life living conditions, but the entire planet. United Nations says we only have 60 years of agricultural soil left. So within 50 years time, there will be a serious food crisis on the planet. A mass famine would be inevitable. Now I know people always say, you know, we only have 60 more years of agriculture to go. Yeah, but that was 10 years ago that we made that statement. We're at 50 guys. Soil is a living entity. It has a lot of organism. And when those organisms are killed, soil is no longer healthy. Soil is no longer living. Soil cannot create the ecosystem services. When soil dies, everything else dies with it, including us. If we start correcting it now in 15 to 25 years, we can make a reasonable level of correction. We can come away from the brink where we are. But if you leave it for another 30 to 40 years and then try to do it, it will take 150 to 200 years to regenerate the soil. So this is not about just painting a, this is not about just painting a dark picture of everything. This is a moment of responsibility that we as human beings, if you stand up right now, we can turn this around. Soils is the very basis for biology and human life. But we also know that we cannot destroy nature to feed humanity because that will threaten the stability of the planet, which means the life support for humans and all species on earth. So we now need to be caretakers of soil. The cost of action is much lower than the cost of inaction, dealing with soil and land degradation. But it's not something which the individual farmers can do. It has to have a large, regional, if not global initiative. This depletion of soil has happened because we have not put back the organic content back into the soil of what we're taking out. So we're seeing how to get a policy in 192 countries to make this the norm that if you own agricultural land, minimum three to six percent organic content must be there by law. Initially by recommendation, then by incentives and then by law, by mandatory law it has to happen. If it's not in the law, then we don't know what they will do tomorrow. That's what we have done, isn't it? From previous generation to this generation, in one generation we've ruined it because there was no law. If there was a law, minimum agriculture content should be… organic content should be there in it. We would have kept it that way. So first and foremost thing is to bring the law. To bring the law what is needed. This is a democracy. That means people are the power. It's people's power. That's what it means. So there are two very powerful things in your hands right now. One is your vote, another is a microphone. Hello? That means your voice. So this is important. The people of the world have to speak and say we are ready for long-term solutions. We are ready for long-term commitment. We are ready for a long haul. We are willing to pay the price for the well-being of future generations. This is why the safe soil movement is not about action but it's about bringing policy change. As a part of this, I'm sixty-five and I'm riding thirty thousand kilometers across twenty-four nations to activate support from the citizenry. We are trying to get about three to three point five billion people to speak about soil for this one hundred days. From March 21st, one hundred days, we want the whole world to talk about soil. We have UNCCD as our partner. We have also signed something with the World Food Program and the scientists from FHO and other organizations are working with us. World Economic Forum is very much with us. Most governments have come on board. Heads of states will be flagging off this rally. Right now that's what I'm trying to create, that if three point five billion people speak, this is sixty percent of the electorate. If sixty percent of the electorate speaks, there is no government which will ignore that in a democratically set up government. Each one of you should reach as many people as you can to make this happen. Many global leaders and influencers are already participating in the movement. Be a part of this and let it make it happen. For my part, as much as I can contribute. And the movement that you are taken up, I could not expect any more God-wessing than that. Sadguru and this campaign is so important. You're going to save the soil. Do your part. And saving the soil. And our planet's future depends on it. Sadguru, save soil my friend. Save soil, let's make it happen. Antigone Barbutta is part of the SAVE soil mission. In the event of what you're doing, that is why we are happy to save the MOU. There's science and philosophy that backs the thought and who dismantles it. Save soil, let's make it happen. Save the soil. We know what we must do, so let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. Let's make this happen. Let's make it happen.


Thank you for staying with us. You're still watching the breakfast on plus DB Africa It's time for our next hot topic and this one says Nigerian needs $35 billion a yearly for infrastructure expenditure and that is being said by the federal government I guess today is Shagun Shuppitan. He's a chairman accountability candle and transparency network. Good morning. Mr. Shagun Thank you for joining us Good morning Thanks for having me always a pleasure having you so the presidency on Tuesday Had you know come out to talk about needing 35 billion Naira? Sorry 35 billion dollars annually for the next 16 years. That's from now till 2040 for the next 16 years to be able to just cater for our Infrastructure expenditure now my question is you know, isn't that a lot of money or is it that is that? You know such a small amount especially for the fact that we need a lot of infrastructure in Nigeria now When we talk about infrastructure, we talk about roads. We talk about hospitals We talk about so many things that needs to be done What do you think about this figure and this is according to the renewed hope agenda? So what do you think about this statement from the president? Well, if you if you take the data that is available out there As a reference point and depending on whose data you're looking at you get different Different opinions You you you find that the the plan from the president is a good plan I think we should start from there The plan is a good plan. It's important to have a plan. It's important to have a long-term plan And this is a long-term plan. This is a plan that will outlive his Administration, you know, even if he does eight years in office The plan will still be running and I think first I must applaud that I think that that's one of the things that has been missing You know, you know in the way we have gone about the governor's question in Nigeria over the years People tend to look at things from how it will affect them You know as politicians they pursue projects that they can take credit for Usually especially around elections So so I think this is a departure from that If you ask me, I think it's probably the first time That I'm seeing something as deliberate as this as clear as clearly articulated as this from any president that we've had Under President Buhari we had a situation where he continued the infrastructure projects of his predecessors And we applauded that, you know at that time that this was that was unprecedented It was the first time also that we're seeing a situation where a president will come on board and say I will not execute any new projects I just want to finish the projects that are already on ground. That was a good one And we can see the benefits of that now. People are enjoying the legacy by the expressway It's a wonderful wonderful wonderful Addition to our infrastructure stock as a country people are enjoying the legacy by the real Project, you know again has made a huge difference in the lives of people in that in that sector of the in that area of the country And there are a number of other projects like that the second Niger bridge, you know, and all of that He didn't start this project. He continued. He met them on ground and continue them So credit to Buhari on that and now credit to presidents, you know for putting laying down the plan that will outlive him Having said that I think it's also important to note that perhaps the president is to be more ambitious So according to data out there That's why I started from initially before I decided to just backtrack and just give the credit where it's due first According to data our infrastructure deficit as a country Ranges depending on who you're listening to ranges from between three trillion dollars To three point three trillion dollars in other words in order for us to catch up and fix The infrastructure deficit that we have we need to spend three trillion dollars now a 35 billion per year plan Would amounts to three hundred and fifty billion in ten years 700 billion in in 20 years 1.4 trillion in 40 years And 3.8 trillion in 80 years So putting it in context you you see that this is a very good plan You've got to start from somewhere But it needs to be said that it's not enough and we can so in order to To meet that infrastructure deficit that we're talking about within a reasonably short time frame Let's say 20 years for example say oh in 20 years want to close the infrastructure gap in this country. You need to raise three trillion dollars divided by 20 So so you're talking of about a hundred and fifty billion Dollars per year So so the 35 billion era per year begins to look really small, you know when you look at the guess that however We again a balance if you flip the coin and people who would Upload this would say what are you talking about the entire budget of the country? It's about 30 30 billion dollars roughly depending on the exchange rate at the time that you're looking at it So the 27 27 trillion 28 trillion budget that we have this year for example is If you use let me just do the calculation program and if you use them an exchange rate The official exchange rate has sucked today or in the budget. I think is I think the budget was still referencing 700 700 Naira to the dollar so even if I use even if I use 700 now to the dollar and you say 28 trillion, you know That that gives you $40 billion You know and I'm being very generous if you decide to use you know the prevailing exchange rates That that cuts down to half. You're talking of 20 billion dollars as our budget. So This is saying that the budget the national budget aside not withstanding We will spend 35 billion dollars every year outside of What we're budgeting to spend, you know in the country as a whole so this this is this is It's a good thing coming from that perspective Especially when you realize that the funding plan the plan for funding this Would revolve around a mixed a mixed basket of funding sources government revenues private sector investments private sector loans developmental loans Funds funds from from the various markets funds from Insurance companies pension fund organizations, you know, I like that I like the fact that it's looking at a wide variety of funding sources Which means that we're not just looking at government revenue, which is exactly what we've been saying, you know all this one so I Think it's a it's a plan that needs to be applauded, but we need to do more it's important for us to understand that The deficit we're talking about is heavy. So we need to we need to be more ambitious I would love for the president, you know, he he has always prided himself for being somebody who is audacious Who is you know, who is both, you know the way he very very? Imperiously said subsidy was gone He needs to apply. Yeah, he needs to apply that type of bravado to this types of project This is where that type of courage is needed. Actually, you know, he needs to be bold He needs to be brave. He needs to be audacious and actually Go for the numbers that will make a fundamental difference now again Let's put a bit of context into this for those that may not understand what what do we mean by an infrastructure? The infrastructure expenditure the infrastructure deficit. What what infrastructure are we talking about? Mainly we'll be talking about roads Yeah, we're talking about rail we'll be talking about aviation, you know, the airport Infrastructure and we'll be talking about power In my opinion if you fix the power problem and you fix the rail problem, you will place Nigeria on the pedestal to achieve Exponential growth within a very short period of time So if we apply these funds for example to fix in the power problem Over a four-year period and you know, the power problem can be solved in a four-year period Please it's important for us to note this even if you want to lay a completely fresh transmission Infrastructure, you don't need 30 years to do this Maybe you talk about 10 years like let's jump the existing a national grid and just build a new grid You don't need 20 years. You don't need 10 years You know with the adequate funding you can build a new grid if you want to but of course You don't need to build a new grid technology has gotten to a point where you can do many grids For example, so you can have regional grids.  So we can fix the power problem You know to a reasonable degree in in four years We can actually achieve 10 maybe even 20,000 megawatts before the end of this first four years of this administration We can do it 20,000 megawatts. It's possible You know, but we need the wheel we need focus we need We need to be very deliberate. We need the we need planning, you know, and all of that to achieve this So I think that's the general framework to look at the this this new site and from it's a good plan But there's a need to do far more to achieve The infrastructure stock we need to unlock the potential of Nigeria to take Nigeria from this But perennial giants that has perennial potential that is perennially unfulfilled We need to get to the point where the potential of Nigeria is unlocked and fulfilled We can do it in four years and I dare say Regardless of the way the manner of the emergence of this president Regardless of the opposition that he currently still has Regardless of the large chunk of Nigerians that are still unhappy that he is president If he does this and he succeeds at it in four years, I can guarantee you Even his most virulent posers will vote for him for a second time And this is the point that politicians must get to understand that look if you do good for a majority of the people You do good for yourself. You you you lay down your legacy Whether you want to talk about pepunary Um Mundane benefits that you gain in office or you want to talk about legacy and you know Issues that matter, you know through through time you do good for yourself. So so it's a very good plan Um, I wish they would be more ambitious with it, but it's a good start Should be commented. Yeah. All right. So when you were speaking, I mean, I was just listening to you And you touched on power now we still do not have 24 hours by Nigeria and It reminds me of the fact that Nigeria isn't a spring chicken. I mean Nigeria is about 64 years On October 1st. So what have been the main challenges for our infrastructure development in Nigeria? Because you would not expect a country that is already 64 to still be struggling with Infrastructure year in year out and then you see all of this precedence come in with their administration and it just it seems as though continuity is is a challenge now. I know that President Bola. Sorry Muhammad Abu Hari had come in. Yes, and he started the press the presidential Infrastructure Development Fund now with President Bola are met in a bowl. He's continuing it But has changed the name to renewed hope Infrastructure Development Fund. So we're seeing some form of continuity But what have been the main challenges over the years that is just now we're realizing that we need to Start to look at this and start to develop our our infrastructure in Nigeria That's it. It's a deep question if you ask me because We're basically going to try to tackle the entire what is wrong with Nigeria question actually So so I think the first thing is to understand To cut ourselves on slack as a country and understand that We are the biggest black nation in the world. We are the we have the largest population in Africa. I Think the sixth largest in the world By population were big by landmass were big. I think we're the fourth largest or fifth largest Country in Africa by landmass with our 928,000 square kilometers of land And on top of that you've got the religious complexities You've got the topographic complexities. You've got the ethnic complexities Nigeria is a complex country. Nigeria is Probably comparable Only to the United States of America when you take all of these things, you know and try to compare like for like There are a number of countries maybe in Asia that also Have this similar Potpourri of issues that Nigeria faces so What this means is that in order for you to achieve inclusive Sustainable development over a long period of time There has to be it can't happen by accident.  We're not running a dictatorship. We're not running a monarchy So this has been the real pain of our development. The real reason that we have been unable to move forward as a country is That as a result of the complexities that we that is our reality It's impossible for development to happen accidentally. It's impossible so that lack of purpose Deliberate design in our approach to the governor's question is the answer to the question you've asked is the reason where we are So so what you have is we've got I've deliberately stayed away from the corruption issue Of course at the base of this if you want to say why don't we then have that? I mean purposefulness in planning. Yeah, you you will come to the corruption question but before we even talk about that it's it's the fact that Every administration that comes on board just like I said earlier every administration with the exception of president Mama Dwari, you know credit to him and that I think would go in this when when his story is told when the story of Nigeria is told On the long, you know 20 40 years from today one of the good things that would be said about him Will be the fact that he continued the legacy of his predecessor. It's a very important issue So every politician comes on board and on does What his predecessor did? everyone with the exception of worry and And with that you can never achieve development. Yeah, I mean just imagine that The United Arab Emirates and Dubai with Dubai, you know in particular has achieved The kind of development that they've achieved Right in our life today. If you have 40 year old Nigerian You were already born And Dubai was a desert If you're 40 years old and here we are today Everybody not just Nigerians everybody from all over the world troops to that country and to the last city You know to just get panwanda To say wow, you know That's the kind of wonders that that they've achieved in that country And we're not talking of just infrastructure and tourism even in the quality of life of their citizens, you know So the reason they were able to do that was that there was a plan and the plan was Implemented to the letter over a 30 year period. Yeah, we are today. So for Nigeria We need to have a plan We need to have a plan that is sustainable We need to have a plan that will be implemented by successive governments regardless of political affiliation Whether you're a PCP DP labor party SDP NNPP, whatever party you come from once you assume the office of president once you assume the office of governor Once you assume local government chairmanship There should be a template that you meet on ground that you just pick up and continue from where your predecessor left off Sure, you can have little modifications based on your own personal philosophy based on your own temperaments based on your own Human peculiarities, but there has to be a plan that we are implementing as a country Until we arrive at a point where we have a national development plan that is encoded in law that must be followed by successive administrations We will not solve our problem. We will not solve our Education institution problems will not solve our health care institution problems will not solve our infrastructure road infrastructure Transportation infrastructure problems. We will simply grasp in bits and pieces At these issues and solve them for time. So for example, okay, so I just want to ask one last question because we need to go Right. Okay. I just want you to answer this in one minute. So now I mean, this is great We need 35 billion dollars a year for the next 16 years But how is this going to you know, drive the growth of our economy? So when it comes to like employment opportunities the value chain the the the value of the Nigerian lives pretty much How is this going to impact us as Nigerians? if if the government spends 35 billion dollars on infrastructure alone in 2025 I'm living out in 2024 because I assume it to take we're ready in March. Yes nine months left in 2024 so let's assume that the nine months will be used to to to implement this and get it up and running and it's now sitting and Flowing fully by 2025. So Nigeria implements this plan for 2025 and we spent 35 billion dollars in 2025 on infrastructure Our economy will go significantly How will it impact it? Just the spend alone just the fact that you're going to throw out about 30 trillion era You know, in addition to your 20 trillion 25 trillion 30 trillion budget So we're talking of a 30 a 60 trillion potentially a 60 trillion budget for 2020 2025 obviously Nigeria will go Employment will happen because it is people that are going to implement this infrastructure project isn't it? And that will be the trick pull down effect of the monies as the money is flowing through those projects You have contractors, you know that are you know going to be engaged and all of that So it will definitely impact employment It will definitely impact the quality of life because as those infrastructure project them come on stream You know them the quality of life of people will also begin to improve. Well, hopefully that's what is going to be done And we'll just look at how it happens and hopefully corruption doesn't you know rare It's all the head and all Nigerians would just be happy saying we have a better economy We have good I'm sorry. It will but Yes, all right, thank you so much It's an amazing having a conversation with you. Thank you Okay, we'll be speaking. Have a good day you too. All right. We're speaking with Shegme Shepiton He's a chairman accountability counter and transparency network And we've just been talking about the fact that the federal government has said they need 35 billion dollars yearly for infrastructure expenditure and this is to happen strong and now till 2040 So we're looking at 16 years. Anyways, that's the size of the shore We have to wrap it up now. It's been amazing having a breakfast with you today. I'll see you again tomorrow


The Ffunky Parents project is run by a wonderful youth worker called Jody. She's a young mum herself, so she understands the issues that the project members go through. And she's been supported along the way by the language and play team headed by Caff Adams, who's a really enthusiastic and wonderful member of the County Council. The young mums have started to benefit quite a lot by just helping with their children's behaviour, so they're engaging with them more and their children's behaviour is getting better. That's part of it and then another part of it really is that they're getting out of the house, their confidence is developing and they're also looking to the future when their children start school. They're looking at maybe doing short courses at the youth project to get them ready for going back into the world of work.


Hi, Paul Scanlon here. Thanks for taking the time to click on my podcast. I want to spend time focusing on my primary passions of leadership, personal development, communication, growing big people, and I hope that these podcasts really help and add value to your life and to your journey. Thanks for tuning in. My wife and I live in a 17th century farmhouse in England and we lived there 20 years. When we bought that farmhouse 20 years ago, all the oak timbers in the house had been painted. So for generations of house owners in that house, the beautiful oak timbers had been painted. So I decided to strip all the paint off to get back to the bare oak all around the house. Some of the timbers in the house were 13th century timbers. So I started stripping back all the paint. I must admit, we were able to buy stuff then to do that, that now you'd be in jail for having it in your house. It was like stuff you'd only see on Breaking Bad. Don't tell me you didn't watch that. So we stripped these beams back. It took us months. It was a nightmare job, but it was fascinating to me what people thought was a good color to paint an oak beam. You could tell when we got to the 60s, generations in that house. The yellows, the greens, the reds, painting an oak beam, bright red. Someone should be in jail.  This seminar is about attempting to get you to be aware of those layers, and some that are being put on you right now, today, you had a conversation that you know was an attempt by someone or something to paint another layer on you.  So I think to get back to the bare oak version of you is to get back to the best version of you. Labels, labels, offer an identity based on external things, as I said, name and nationality and occupation and gender and skin color and religion and role and title and conditions. You know, like I mentioned, you name it on it goes.  We call this version of identity the ego, the ego. Ego is a Latin word for I. That's all it means. The ego means I, in other words, the ego, you and me is the individualistic I, me, mine separate from you, separate from others, the ego. The ego is a false sense of self. It's a false sense of self because it's yourself based on labels of the people painted on you. So you form an identity based on all this labeling, but because that labeling isn't who you really are underneath it all, because your core identity is your soul, these labels create a false sense of self and identity other than the job of the ego all of your life is to protect it. This is why the ego, the ego loves attention, but it hates scrutiny. This is why another reason I have this chair here because I want to be careful that my ego doesn't want to lecture you about your ego because that could be my ego. Ego is a subtle live in the shadows part of us and self-awareness, which is a huge super power that is going to be vital in this coming age, self-awareness allows you to say and see why, what part of me was threatened by that person that made me respond in that way? What part of me needed to exaggerate? What part of me needed to lie about something? What part of me needed to make myself look better than I really am in that situation? What part of me couldn't say I was wrong, I'm sorry? What part of me thinks you're the problem and I could never be the problem? It's called the ego. The ego has taken entire nations to war on an individual's ego. One person's ego has taken millions into war because of the refusal to back down and not realize what you're protecting is your sense of status and power and entitlement and superiority and politics and idea of how things should be, you see it in children. The ego kicks in from the beginning and you see kids that begin to battle and fight over things that don't really matter and you try and step in as a parent and educate them not knowing it just reinvents itself in a more adult form later on. Ego is a social construct to get you started on your journey in life. I understand the need of it, I understand why we have ego and I want to say that ego, I know I'm reflecting it negatively because it primarily is in the outcomes but really ego, the sense of self, isn't good or bad. But what I want to say to you is it defaults too bad without guidance. It doesn't default to good. But ego in itself, we all have ego, Jesus had an ego. Every human has an ego, a false sense of self, his would have been, his would have been, wouldn't it? He was born in Nazareth. He is a carpenter's son. You can see him in his life battling this identity as people say, well isn't this Joseph's son? Who is this person? And now they're labeling him as the boy from Nazareth. He is the carpenter's son. This helps them to locate him so the behavior he's having, he has no right to behave that way because he has no labeling background to qualify him to speak to us in the synagogue. Because they're identifying him like they do all of us by this labeling social construct that we have and this social construct becomes like a survival capture through which we navigate life. But if we're not aware that we have an ego and the ego can go rogue on you and the ego can make you a bad version of you without guidance to make your ego serve you as I'll come to in a moment, then we all just finish up continuing generationally to repeat the problems of the ego problems of our forefathers. Ego is a set of agreements between your childhood self and your parents. Then it becomes a set of agreements as you age between you and your peers. Then as you age it's a set of agreements between you and your spouse, your significant other, your partner.  And the ego's job is to protect that version of you. The ego has bounces. It has bodyguards. Because when you get too close to the issue of the ego like we are now a little bit, it deploys anger and blame and avoidance to protect itself. We'll do this today a hundred times all of us and not realize we're doing it. We send out these little bodyguards to fight off any incoming resistance to our version of us that we want to keep intact because once your ego starts to collapse you're not sure who you're going to be and how will you do your day to day if you don't do it under those labelings that give you that external identity and ego. So its job is to keep all that intact. But the ego is about doing. The soul is about being. You are not just a human doing. You are a human being and we live in this doing world where we think the more we do, the more we dance to the tune of the labels, the more accomplished and the more identity we get and the problem is it's the wrong identity that we're pursuing.   If all of that is removed, who are you? If now you can't leave your home because of some illness and now you can't have those options anymore that you set your heart on, who are you? Are you still you? And the truth is ego says, well now you've failed and now it's not an option for you and what a shame and how sad that is and we start using this language about what a shame, it's such a shame that happened to so and so and now the language of shame and guilt becomes another form of labeling because now you don't appear to be able to be the person you or we hoped you would be. This is why depression and suicide by the way are spiking because we live in such an ego centric world that if anything happens to you that spoils that identity capture that you're in, you're left with nothing to fall back on because you think now those labels have gone I need to find more labels and because you can't find them quick enough to cover up the cracks we despair and get suicidal and think what's the point in living anymore. So ego is about survival, soul is about surrender. Well thanks again for listening to today's podcast, I hope you found it beneficial and I know time is precious commodity for us all but I would love if you would take the time to write a review or comment and above all maybe subscribe to my podcast channel. Thank you.


In case you didn't know, this bank holiday Monday is the date for this year's North West 10K. Always a huge event, always really well supported and people have trained for it for months if not longer and then others just go out and walk it and do it at their leisure just to get through the 10K but it's always a big event and there's always a big turnout for it. Well Nancy McNamee is the vice chair and Declan Care is the PRO of the North West 10K and they both join us in the studio now. Good afternoon to you both, all set for Monday? Yeah yeah yeah we're on the countdown now just four days to go so yeah yeah it's all systems go. Declan you're no stranger to doing a bit of organizing behind the scenes for the 10K and it's come a long way since it was the Rock Hill 10K and you'd remembered those days? I remember the Rock Hill 10K yeah and it was a very successful event until 1995 and then the the Northwest 10K took over from that then so Northwest 10K is now in its 20s running and we're heading out to the 26th hosting of it so yeah it's been a very successful event both at Rock Hill and then Northwest 10K for charities over the years and 903,000 euros raised in 26 years or 25 years. So you haven't head towards the million mark? Well we haven't towards the million mark but we a little bit to go yet but 38 charities have benefited over that period of time so listen it has been very good for the local community all the money goes back and to charities on the county so Nancy off all those 10Ks you probably run most of them? Not a bit no I did actually I ran the Rock Hill 10K back in 1988 was my first right and most successful third overall in that year but then in 2011 I was involved with the orbit with as a charity with mental health and from there then I joined the committee for the Northwest 10K so I haven't run one since believe it or not 2011. Oh right well that comes as a surprise. I've run all the rest of the 10K and this year it'll be behind the scenes. It'll be behind the scenes again all hands involved yeah we have a core committee of 12 but we also have a lot of volunteers including Stewards and Cardi and other volunteers as well and we get volunteers as well from the three charities that are involved with us as well. And the three charities this year are? The three charities this year are multiple cirrhosis, Sympirin to School here in Lederkenny and Lederkenny Community Development Project as well and they're working really really hard they've had a few fundraising events under the umbrella of the 10K to date and they have another one tonight in Arena 7 they have a quiz tonight in Arena 7 and they also have two post-race uh more runs as well they have got uh a tractor run and from Maggie's Tavern and Port Hall and they also have got uh Native the Races and the Glencaron and that's on the 12 of May as well. Right and that's how it works the charities are nominated well the charities are invited to apply and then there's three nominated that's the way it's been in recent years and then the one is this and those three charities to to use the event to go out and and raise money. Yeah it's twofold for the charities as opposed to promoting their own and creating awareness of the charities that are involved and also of obviously the fundraising then and as part it's not just on the day the three charities come together then they will each organize their own events or whatever and the lead-up and that all contributes then to the overall money that's raised and it just boosts it boosts their return from the event and listen that those events are very very very very important to it and three charities this year again have worked together in terms of organizing a variety of fundraisers and listen hopefully that'll all come together now and give them a nice return for them for I mean they all have objectives with the money that they've raised and so hopefully that'll all go well for them now. And the man that's starting it this year the man behind the starter's gun is himself no stranger to the 10k Danny McDade. Yes indeed I mean I was talking to Danny last week about just the 10k I suppose he was saying in the early in the very early years Danny was pretty much an international athlete at that time and with cross country international cross country he didn't get an opportunity maybe as much as he would have liked to have competed but he was telling me one nice story from I think it was nine just before that moved from Rockhull to the to the northwest 10k I think it was 57 years of age and he remembers Sean Daherty being out in Rockhull broadcasting and Sean was asking him how do you think you'll do or what time will you do the day and Danny says well I would hope to break 34 minutes and that was and he did 33 50 that's when he was 57 57 yeah so let's hope for he's yet Nancy there's definitely hope for us yeah but Danny is delighted and he's been a great supporter of the northwest 10k and he's also been involved from a charity perspective because of the Donny Gull Diabetic Association he had family members involved in that so Danny has been you know he's he sees the benefits of the 10k and he was they were one of the charities the Diabetes Association last year who benefited from the 10k so from different perspectives from just actually taking part to to supporting it and being part of a charity Danny has certainly has great experience of the the 10k over the years absolutely so Nancy the root this year where has it changed no it hasn't changed from the the root last year at all it hasn't so it starts at the community centre goes over by Glen Enne you do a circle there and

lot and there's a sort maybe two circles you'll pass an atu three times but i mean it's relatively flat apart from going up the main street and there's a lovely course i've been told i've done it myself but just jogging along yeah well at least it's not the climate guardly it's just up the port road yeah it's just up the port road you take a left the rest is flat yeah you take a left after the
