It's 24 hours to Election Day, February 25, but welcome to our election studios as we begin tonight and talk about INEC, of laying the fears of cancellation and assisting the polls we'll hold. Also, we will be having a feel of what's going on at INEC offices from our correspondents across Lagos. Also, we'll be taking a look at government's reasons for the arrest of pro-Biafran agitator Simon Epak and we'll be talking about the effects of violence on the outcome of the elections. I'm Mary Annakul, welcome to The Ballot. My name is Nyam Gul Aggadjian, I'm glad to be here with you. Alright, interesting, it promises to be 24 hours of back to back information for the elections. I'm sure that you're excited. Well, everybody's excited in Nigeria, even the people that are not voting are really excited. I know. It's a great moment for us and I hope we get it right this time. Apparently, everybody keeps saying, every election cycle, that this is going to be a watershed moment. We hear that every time, but we don't hear it. Yes, but we've not seen the kind of new entrance into the election cycle like we've seen now. The massive registration of the youths has never happened the way it has happened this time around. So, no matter the excitement, excitement has always been for the people who are regular voters. Now, we have people who have never voted, forming almost a majority of the people who registered. I hope they got their PVCs anyway, after registering. Well, let's have a feel of what's going on in Ikeja right now. Our correspondent Paul George is standing by to brief us on what's happening there. Good evening, Paul. How are you? Great. You are in Ikeja. What exactly have you noticed while you were there at the INAC office? What is the latest? Okay, when we got to Ikeja, the INAC office, we made a lot of call members and other staff who have been gathered here to move to different words of this for the election tomorrow. The INAC electoral officer here in Ikeja, Gabriel Tyre, when I spoke to him, I asked him how prepared are they. And he explained to me, he said they are well prepared for this election. And at the other moment, there were a lot of, you know, adult staff who are still waiting, who are still waiting to move out, to go to their, what, you know, waiting for their SBO, that is supervisory presiding officers, to take them to their different Iraq center.  Yeah, go ahead. Paul, right now you are at the INAC office, right? Yes, he is. Yes, yes, yes, I'm at the INAC office in Ikeja. Yeah, I'm just interested in the fact that at the background, we're not seeing a rowdy crowd and all that. Those are things that usually happen, you know, at this time of the year. So what do you think made it so peaceful the way it is? Is there anything new that has not been done before? Oh, fantastic. That's good.  They are all around here. So now you mentioned something that you feel, looking at my background, that the core members, a lot of people, you know, have left. Yes, they have left because they've gone to their rock centers to be prepared because they're going to slip over, they're going to slip over, you know, then from there, they move to their unit. You know, according to Gabriel Tyre, the electoral officer here in Ikeja, he said they have over 600 polling units in this Ikeja, local government. OK. All right. Paul, thank you very much. We'll be getting back to you for more updates. Thank you for speaking with us. All right. Thank you. Well, barely six hours to the forthcoming 2023 general elections, of course, the presidential election. The Independent National Electoral Commission, I like, has a laid fears of cancellation and insisted that the poll will hold as planned on February 25. I like Chairman McMood, Yakuza, disclosed this on Friday at a media briefing in Abuja. His assurances came a few hours before the presidential poll started. Slated for Saturday, I beg your pardon, February 25, 2023. Now, according to him, there has been no insecurity issue involving the personnel and materials deployed by the commission. Joining us live to discuss the voter readiness for the polls is our correspondent Emmanuel Olubo-Bokong. Emmanuel, thank you very much for joining us. Good evening. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah. Emmanuel, what is the situation where you are right now? OK. Right now, in the chair of the chair of GRMA, we are able to speak with the voters about whether they were able to get their polling units and also whether there were challenges associated with them getting to the origin or on the defined polling unit. But speaking with some of them, I realized, I was able to get information that the polling units, irrespective of the distance or server, they were able to locate it. Some of them said there were no challenges. But speaking with one particular person, he said that the polling unit was far from his residence. But today, while it was a German prayer today, on Friday, he said that the imams spoke to him and preached to him, saying that the retrospective or whatever it is that they should be able to go and exercise their civic duty. So that's the hard, without the hard change of mind. He said, irrespective of the distance it was in my trekking, far distance, to definitely go cast his vote. So that has been challenging the situation over here with voters and also with staffs of other. Thank you very much for speaking with us. We will come back to you if there be any breaking stories or any more things to report on. We will take a quick break when we return. We'll be talking about the situation of things in Finland. Yesterday, the news was that one of the masterminders of the insecurity in the South East, talking about Simon Ekba, was arrested by Finnish police. Yeah, and there's been propaganda anyway. Some people may be loyalists to him, now saying that he has been released and back to Finland and he's enjoying himself and all that. But I'd like to commend Finland. I'd like to commend the government of Nigeria and even Ohanez and Dibo, that all people that raised alarm, that this person is causing havoc back home here. And proactive measures led to what has happened now. And we'll be the better for it anyway. We'll be having some of the guests join us to discuss this in a moment. But we'll take a quick break. It's still our election studio's The Ballot 2023. Stay with us. It is unusually traffic free here. Plus, TV News catches up with some Nigerians who give different reasons for wanting to cast their ballots. Why not? Why not? You can see I'm just calling back from work. And I have my PVC to vote for the candidate I won. You can see. Yeah, so I'm praying, let the gods help us and reach the the final day for the election. And I will know the candidate that we vote. I'm not someone that is actually scared. Whatever comes up, whatever it might be, I will stand and vote. In so many years, I haven't casted a vote. But this time around, I am definitely going to cast my vote. I'm not scared of anything. I'll come out and vote. We should be ready for change. We can continue here. We can't continue like this. As we keep on going in a circle, we have to change the order, like seriously. If not, we'll just continue suffering. There has been a high level of preparation towards the elections, especially from the part of the election, Ompai, INEC. Many believe this is a chance to have an Nigeria of their dream. As for the first time, the country is adopting an electronically conducted federal elections. A change in this country. I'm actually tired of the way things are going. The situation is now it's not really for me. It's about, you know, everybody seems to be leaving the country because things are not going well. But those of us that have not had the opportunity to probably leave, should stay back and do the needful. The good things come with a bit of inconvenience. And what you look at is the intense behind it. Is the intent just to make the masses suffer? Quite a right, the masses are suffering because of it. But if it will help us curtail vote-buying, it will help put those corrupt politicians in check, desparados in check. So be it. I will come out to vote. Well, for the cashless policy now, that reason why we are stuck fully in the house for the families issue. So after the election, I'll be with you. For free and fair elections, you understand. But I wish Nigeria all the best. And this time, accrediting voters and voting will take place simultaneously with the use of the beavers' machines. The stakes are high. Destin Mama, plus TV News. Welcome back. It's still the ballot 2023. And we are still looking at the situation of things in and across the country on this situation of election violence, free election violence, vote-buying. Let's talk about vote-buying. We've seen videos from river states, emanating from river states where the police had, the FCC, I beg your pardon, had napped one of the PDP... Yeah, House of Reps member. The PDP representing Potakot 2 constituency. Yes. And Honorable Chitin Yereigwe. Well, first of all, Bajabiamila is talking about the fact that they need to remove Honorable from their names. Maybe this is the time to start. Because this must have been a very dishonorable act. Very, very dishonorable act. I mean, he was photographed with wads of cash. And use, you know, this money. And it wasn't Nigerian money. Dollars. Foreign currency. Dollars, like $500,000. And we are suffering the way we're suffering. We've seen another video just this evening about where someone was trying to buy votes here in Lagos state wads of money. New 1000 Naira notes. Exactly. So much money. Money that we cannot even find. $5,000 to withdraw. And people, the sharks, now the POS sharks, are taking advantage and destroying businesses, destroying lives as it were. Unfortunately, it's not their fault. But we're not going to get into that conversation because, you see, they also have to buy the votes. We won't even finish. Nobody would have thought that in 2023 they would need to buy Naira with Naira. Yeah, we're asking how much is exchange rate in your area? Naira to Naira. It's not even dollars. It's really disheartening. Yeah, it's very, very disheartening. And to think that some people are just holding this money. And I think what's most disheartening about the Honourable Chiniri Grace situation is that he's an Honourable Member of the House of the Assembly. National Assembly, I beg your pardon, is a member of the People's Democratic Party which is ruling in river states. Which is ruling in river states. I would think that being that Governor Wiki is called, you know, the Mr. Projects and that the state would not have to worry or the government would not have to worry about vote buying but this is a situation that we're looking at today. Unfortunately. Well, and another thing is, INEC defines vote buying as inducement. Inducement. On that day of the election. And I think that's a very shallow definition of that vote. Yes, because I have seen a lot of pundits speak about this issue of vote buying and they say vote buying has already occurred in this election day. I got calls from the village, for instance, that there are people who are going around sharing wrappers and sharing money. And they are Governors who started an empowerment program like two months ago. Just two weeks, Seth. Some people started two weeks house to house. And they'll tell you that it will end when this administration, after the election and all that. And it tells you that it has to do with the elections and you're collecting this money. And if you say four people in the polling unit, that means four families have been affected. For those four families will have like ten people in the families and then ten people will have influencers within the community and all that. They've already bought that community as it were. And it started long before now but EFCC, INEC and all the relevant authorities are not even looking at that. Well, they seem to be alive to the responsibilities just in the nick of time for some people.  But let's talk about the voter now, the electorate, because I want to talk about how decisive we should be or questioning certain things. Because you see, if I have sat through an administration for four to eight years and you didn't think it necessary to initiate an empowerment program all this well, but then months to elections, weeks to elections, you come up with this empowerment program, this giving scheme, you know. We should be some critical thinking is to come into play. But then, of course, many people would also say poverty has been weaponized. And so, I mean, the other question... I don't buy the poverty thing. Exactly. But then there are people who have that school of thought that, oh, poverty has been weaponized.  What if that food is laced with poison? Should I not think first before I jump in? I think when we talk about poverty, we shouldn't be talking about poverty, cash poverty, material poverty. It's a poverty of the mind. Yeah, because I've seen people who pack their vehicles, for instance, and come to struggle for 20,000 that was thrown into a crowd while you're packing your car.  And then you're still struggling with the people that people are saying are poor. That's not poverty. I've seen a place where you go to that place, food is not a problem. And then people are handing out 15 IRAs, lowest 15 IRA and 100 IRAs, and they're voting for someone. It's like we would say, not be jujuvi that. I saw a video, a report on Doche Vela done by a Nigerian, and she went to, I think one of the states in the North, if I'm not mistaken, a Damo estate. And people voted for as low... People's votes were bought for as low as 15 IRAs. Good. I've seen that too. A school teacher is sickling upon himself to educate people in that area because of the level of illiteracy. But then of course, he's also not just blaming it on ignorance, he's blaming it on the fact that people have, like you said, a poverty mindset. And it's not that they do not know that what they're doing is wrong, but they feel that that's the only hope that they have. And his duty is to one way or the other change that mindset. And he's doing it every day. He's telling people that 15 IRAs is unable to even buy you a plate of food or the meat that you would eat in the food, let alone take you for four years. So what happens after the election? Are you able to see these people? Are they accessible to you? Can you call them to order? Can you ask for accountability if you've taken 15 IRAs because it's literally put a plaster or a cellotape over your lips?  So if your mind is educated enough, you are supposed to be the person to take this evangelism as a way to the villages and all that because this is where it actually happens. You can't expect someone to buy votes for even 5,000 Naira in VI, for instance. But you will be shocked because there are people who are giving these monies, the people who are foot soldiers to these so-called politicians.  Yeah, but they're not giving to the people in VI. That's what I'm saying. And unfortunately, this is where you find the population. We're helping ourselves. We're not doing enough. We know what's right, but we'd rather, because of whatever reasons, enable these so-called corrupt politicians so really, how ready are we for that change? We are not really ready because in the 2019 election, there were a lot of people that are now fighting wars in the social media with themselves. Some of them actually contested. They ran for president. Some of them ran for president. And they're among the people who are supporting candidates that we see or we perceive that shouldn't even rule us. So how are these people sincere to the people? Are they therefore personal interests or they really wanted to help our nation? 2023 has proven that a lot of them were just there for their selfish reason. And when politicians in Nigeria say, what matters is interest. It really sets me off because the interest they're talking about is not the national interest. They're talking about personal interest and they do it with their full chest as we would say in Nigeria and it's really disappointing. I want us to go to talk about the situation in Finland and talk about the state of violence that has taken hold of the Southeast in general. You and I are going to panter in that. But in the meantime, we're going to be joined by our correspondent Loretta Ciorgo who's standing by to give us a feel on what's happening in Magburu area of Lagos State and I think Festak. So let's see if we can get across to Loretta. Loretta, good evening. Thank you for joining us. Can you hear me? Marianne, good evening. I'm good. Good evening. Great. What's happening in Magburu? Yes, yes. Welcome to our election studios. Now, give us a feel of what's happening in Magburu and have you been speaking to people and is there some sort of excitement or doubt or maybe fair coming from the people as they get ready for tomorrow's elections? Now, from what I've been able to gather, the general feel is that of excitement? Is that of enthusiasm to go into this poll tomorrow and people are just ready to choose their candidates come tomorrow morning? And you know what's amazing is that the roads are not too busy as it usually would be. The reason for this, I do not know but I know that fillers are also that want to stay away from anything that can cause them harm. In case there's any breakdown of law and order, right? And from Magburu area, which is within Oku state and borders, Lagos, the fill, as I said earlier, is that of excitement and enthusiasm. And voters are already trying to find out where their polling units are. In fact, as you can see, I'm in a vehicle and we're trying. We've been roving from Magburu and then down into Lagos to also feel the pulse of the people. And the driver of this particular vehicle has told me that he doesn't even know where his polling unit is. And because another person who I spoke with earlier told me that he had to take time out to go look for his polling unit where he's going to vote and found out that the polling unit wasn't where he was told. And because he was frustrated and because he also knows that I'm a journalist, he had to put a call through to me to ask me if I have an idea of the polling units within Magburu. And I told him some of them but he said he was frustrated at that time and that he was not going to look for the polling unit anymore until tomorrow if he now decides to move up. But I think the feel is that I am going to vote. Come what may. So for these two men that I've been able to speak with, I think that's the general feel. People want to come out to cast their ballots. They want a new Nigeria. They want a real change. When I mean a real change, they want a real change that can speak for their livelihood, the economy, infrastructure, education, health, the health system. Name it. Let's talk about the issue of information dissemination both from INEC and the media because of course it's the information that INEC rolls out that the media feeds to the public. Judging from what your driver, the driver of the vehicle has spoken about, do you think that INEC has done due diligence in terms of especially the fact that some of these polling units were reassigned are known to some of the voters? I can speak for INEC but I can speak as a journalist. Reports that we have received from INEC is that they've been able to pass this message to the public. Now the public, we need to now look at the public who has heard INEC and the public that has not heard INEC. So that's what I see right now with the status who have been able to accommodate the information and run with it. But I think INEC has done the beats that they should which is to speak to the public about the various changes that have taken place in terms of changing polling units, taking one from another, fixing people in other polling units. Now do the people know where their new polling units are? I think that will be out tomorrow. We'll see more of that tomorrow because right now what we can see is that people are just trying to find out where their exact polling units are and to identify with the place to be satisfied that it is trackable because again this is another issue. Somebody told me that if the polling unit is too far from where it lives, he may not go to cast his ballot. But of course these people are being encouraged to say that if you are called for a team you have set your vote to count. So no matter the distance I think you should do that as a sacrifice for Nigeria and for your generation and future generations to come. Well Larissa we look forward to some of the things that will be covered tomorrow and all of the information that will be coming from the different places that you go to in the polling unit. Thank you so much, we appreciate it. That's right Adan. I think you can identify me with my face cap. Thank you. I'm not a security threat. I need to put this out now. I'm not a security threat. I'm a journalist and my face cap. I don't know why. I'm sure by the time you start speaking English it definitely will end. Stay safe wherever you are Larissa. Thank you very much. She touched on something about the roads being free and it didn't start this evening. It started in the morning when we were coming to work. Everywhere was very free and the vehicles were moving. I think we owe that not just to security but we owe that to the fact that that's what I want to believe that people are spending the time looking for where they are supposed to go and vote and some of them are resting so that tomorrow might be along with. I think most of them have travelled to their different polling units. That explains why the roads were like that. Let's believe and we had a security expert this morning who said that from all indications tomorrow will be relatively very peaceful. And we all want to believe that because we have no reason to believe that there would be any chaos or uprisings or riots. I don't think it's necessary because I think the average voter is ready to cast their votes peacefully and make sure that it counts. We'll take a quick break. It's still our election studios. The ballot 2023. I'm sure people are wondering where's the plus politics? It's right here. And this is where we have this is what we admit I'm a forced into until elections are over. We'll take a quick break and when we come back we'll talk about Finland and then of course we will be joined by an election consultant who's going to talk to us about the issue of violence before, during and after elections and how it could affect the country. Stay with us.


Welcome to the Toddy Korba show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Sam Murray, joined now with Stevenson Women's Soccer Head Coach, Toddy Korba, and Coach. Maybe not the area that you would expect it heading into the year. A lot of injuries this year, but I think one of the words, and we probably talked about it previously, is resilient. Your team was pretty resilient this year. Talk about the season as a whole. Yeah, I think you're right, a lot of injuries. But, you know, season as a whole, I think, you know, we have a lot that we want to do with this program, certainly on the field and off the field. And I think we've spent really the last year talking about how to put that all together. And I think that, you know, what we want to do is be something that's, be a program that's consistently striving for excellence and not necessarily a team that kind of has a good season and then maybe an off season and kind of up and down. So, you know, we've really been working to put a lot of those building blocks in place. And so I think this group has done a remarkable job in really putting a lot of those building blocks in place. And so I think in that respect, I think it was a great year for us in terms of our personality as a team and discipline and commitment and, you know, our work rate and kind of what all of that's going to look like. And with regard to this actual team and our results, certainly it's not good enough and it's not where we want to be. And, you know, I don't think that, well, I'm sure that not one of us is kind of pleased with the results. But I think that was kind of the one piece that we were ultimately missing, you know, were those wins and, you know, there are many, many things that we need to work on. But I think it's taken a little bit of reflection and a little bit of time. But I think that we feel like overall this was a step in the right direction for us. Yeah, when it's all said and done and you kind of look back on the year and look at the results of the nine losses, six of them were one goal games. So you're close in pretty much every game this year. Is that something to hold your head high on? I think so. And, you know, there's so many things that you can look at and we're careful not to go with kind of excuses. But, you know, we had four season-ending injuries. We had an average, I think, of six players out per game. And just about a quarter of our season was against NCAA tournament teams and all those one-goal losses. So, you know, it all kind of points to we were pretty close all season. But we need to be better than that. So, yeah, you know, I think many of the injuries we had were some of our goal scores. So, you know, could that have been different? Possibly. But, you know, we knew that results were going to be hard to come by. Soccer is a sport that you have to have a bounce go your way every now and again. And I don't think we had one bounce go our way this entire season.  And I think we're losing two seniors and two exceptional seniors and two exceptional people. But we have a really strong group returning and they've got a lot to work on. And I think they're committed to doing it. Yeah, as you turn the page here, you do only lose two players. Now, Granite, you lose Sam Hooker's, you know, a leader on and off the field has started every single game since she stepped on Stevenson's campus. But you've returned everyone, essentially. Is that something to build upon? For sure. And, you know, both Sam and Jess are going to be difficult to replace. And I don't think we'll be looking to replace them, but maybe, you know, have other people step up in their own ways. But I think with this group of returners, you know, it's our job. I think as coaches to inspire them and push them and demand more from them. And it's their job to do the work. And so, you know, they know the things that we feel we need to work on in this off season. And I think they're committed to doing that. So, I mean, right now we've got 27 players returning and we've got a good number of 2019's committed that we think could be impact players. So, you know, you hope and think that maybe combining all of that, those nine, you know, tight games that we had, those six one goal losses and those ties, maybe this is enough to get us over that hump. But, you know, all we can do for now, those are the results that we can't control. So, you know, what we have to do now I think is just continue to work on, you know, the things that we need to improve and we have to be better than we were this year. So now's the time to really do that. Well, Coach, we wish you the best of luck in the off season, spring ball coming up. And we'll see you back here next year. Good. Thank you. For Head Coach Tati Korba, I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Tati Korba Show.


Welcome to the wide world of eSports, a show devoted to all things eSports. I'm your host, Catherine Norr. Today, my guest is Bubba Gadder, the Executive Director of Varsity eSports Foundation. Our topic is Scholastic eSports 2022. Welcome Bubba. Thank you, Catherine. I'm so glad to be here. I've watched a lot of your podcasts, your shows, your episodes, and a lot of folks honored to be one of the many in eSports speaking to you today. Fantastic. OK, so, you know, we do have something interesting and common in that we both were involved in USA Triathlon. What led, what did you do in USA Triathlon? Well, there wasn't a director, a certification for marathons out there in the USA World, USA Sports World. And the closest thing was a triathlon certification for a director. I was a director of a large scale marathon with 5,000 plus people here in Kansas City that was organized in part with Garmin, you know, the smart watch. And so I organized that was a race director for about four years. And I wanted to get certified because I like because I'm a millennial and I like having things after my names and I like being entitled and having recognition. So I wanted a label on my name and I wanted to have credibility beyond just being a program nerd. And so I went to Colorado and sat down at USA Triathlon offices for three or four days and got a certification in USA Triathlon. And now I worked other triathlons throughout that space. I didn't I didn't ever participate in any. But I swim, I ride and I run plenty, but I just don't participate in those. And I think I will someday. Sir, I actually did triathlons for quite a while. And I was the regional coordinator of officials for USA Triathlon. And I attended a lot of those classes that you did. So what led you to kind of ship from being a race director for running events to being involved in eSports? Yeah, Catherine, my world really was sports for 20 years. And us in the eSports industry, we call that traditional sports, even though it never was referred to that until recently. And that was 20 years with YMCA's, Parks and Recs, Chamber of Commerce, Sports Commissions in CAA. In junior college, I used to do a lot of stuff in sports, but I also am a huge nerd. My dad worked in Radio Shack when I was a kid.  And I never really used it other than just for myself and was a gamer. And I always knew it was a talent. I should have probably done as a career, but I enjoyed sports. I played sports in college and I wanted to be in the sports industry. So I was and I had a lot of fun doing it, organizing tournaments with 20,000 kids across a metro to five K for 200 people to organizing swimming events to hosting football tournaments, all sorts of stuff. And then there was an opportunity in the convention center space. We had in a suburb here in Kansas City, and I said, you know, we're really cool to have a board game and video game type convention. And so I'm going to set that up. So I got a couple of different people here in the Kansas City Metro together and host an event with 800 people. And that's where my eSports and gaming career started, as I also was starting to stream on Twitch at that same time. Terrific. And you have a lot of rules and eSports. Tell us about what you're doing these days. Yeah, you know, I just I just am really me. And the the breaking into the industry was through a nonprofit I created with some friends here in Kansas City and working in the nonprofit world also for 20 years and all those different organizations. I noticed there was a discrepancy and there was some issues with not being able to give kids access and certain kids. When I met the owner and founder of the High School eSports League, he showed me a map of all their schools and they were all in suburbs. There's about 1500 schools that time and they were all in the suburbs. And I thought, OK, my years of working with families and socioeconomic status, low area, income areas and disenfranchised families. There needs to be kids in the urban core and the rural areas with access as well to gaming clubs or eSports clubs in schools, not just the kids who have but the kids who are usually have nuts because of systemic inequality or digital redlining, other things like that. So and I grew up in our city myself and I didn't have access either, but I'm also privileged and I got out. So for me, using the platform of a nonprofit to create that opportunity with grants and scholarships was where it all started back in 2017 and now the roles I have taken on also have been ones just because I am an ambassador and an advocate and a consultant in anything eSports and nonprofit and marketing. And I've been doing that kind of stuff for a long time, graphic design and media and marketing consulting for quite some time through all the you wear lots of hats and nonprofits. So you you potentially learn a lot of different roles and skills. So I just used all those to also teach other people for and shifting to our topic today, Scholastic eSports in 2022. What is Scholastic eSports? So that's a term we kind of use broadly for anything K through 22. So elementary, middle school, high school or primary, secondary and then also college or university. And that's if you're in this space and you've I know your other Scholastic eSports interview with Daniel Johnson from TechSaf down in Texas. I mean, she's in the heart of it. She's an educator and she wants to help her kids work be a part of not just competition, as we know, eSports is competitive gaming, but the curriculum and college and career readiness side of clubs and schools. So Scholastic really is taking the competitive structure of gaming and putting it into a club such as taking football and putting it into a club or a team at school and competing against other schools or internally. Really, you can scrimmage your own students in your school, but that's up to the college level. Obviously, since 2014 and even earlier, College eSports has been growing and growing and growing and so has the high school space, but there's this big shift the past maybe past eight years or so in the high school space. It's moved, it's shaped away from that competitive only to additional of curriculum and college and career readiness and STEM and helping kids succeed outside the competitiveness to that's now as we'll see in twenty two twenty twenty two that taking over to where it's not an eSports club. It's eSports program and you'll see that in the K-12 space. And you've been seeing Minecraft for a long time in the elementary middle school space for kids learning. My kid even at third grade was doing a Minecraft or not a Minecraft club, but like STEM based clubs and there was stuff around that. So the college space, those scholastic wise, that's the big that's the big ticket item that people know more about in the scholarship and the amount of colleges and what's happening in that space with a lot of the coaches and staff and schools really engage in that, especially during covid that expedited all that for all of us in the industry. What do you anticipate in the way of any change in scholastic eSports in two thousand twenty two? Yeah, I think I'll just hit back on you're going to see you're going to see a lot more colleges. I mean, we just got a big study out from Chris Postel with eSports Foundry that talked about the six hundred colleges that he interviewed or surveyed around North America. And I think about 10 percent of those were in Canada and we saw a large increase, but we see these really great numbers from his his study showing the moving away from that competitive side only to it's living under a not so much in athletics. It didn't have to live in athletics at a college institution or a university. And what we'll see more is the amount of extracurricular activities and curriculum and certifications and courses and majors and minors towards the focus of eSports and not just slapping a E on certain things to call it as part of a minor, but really helping students and people in the workforce gain a little more knowledge around what is the eSports industry and how do you run an event and how do you market for eSports? How do you help influencers? How do you work with teams? That sort of stuff has been around for some time, but only in small pockets. You're going to see that take off. And you had, like I said, over covid, a lot of people jumping into eSports and especially in this plastic space helping there was opportunity for people who were coaching or working other industries or in businesses. And they needed to they also wanted to teach. That's how I started teaching the higher ed was I worked in sports for so long. Somebody said, hey, come teach these college students about sports and officiating. And I started a college class. I've been teaching ever since for eight years. So that's happening as well for the people in our industry who are going to the university level and teaching. So you're going to see that shift even stronger, I think, as well as more schools, universities, especially start adopting eSports beyond just the club or student led level. Do you think that there will be a point where more schools on any level will have eSports programs than not? So let's let's go by the numbers. There's five thousand colleges and universities in the United States. We the six hundred number I gave earlier was where those schools that are really more invested beyond just the student level. But we know about eighteen hundred two thousand colleges and universities to have some form of a program. So we're kind of there in the college and university space in North America, the United States mainly, but definitely not in the full full all the way in from an administrative side at the university or institution in the high school space. We're looking at about five thousand of the thirty five thousand public private charter high schools in the United States. So we're definitely not there. That's a low percent, but it also has grown by three every year for the past, you know, four to five years. So it's going to continue to grow and middle school space continues to grow. There's about a thousand of those ninety thousand high middle schools in the United States, so it's growing. But there's a lot of that that merging with the STEM based classes and Legos and other things that are happening in middle school elementary level. So this we're not far off in the college space. The high school spaces are so many. There are, you know, upwards of a thousand high schools per, you know, five hundred or a thousand high schools per states. And there's a lot of states at the state level doing something like Daniel Johnson is doing in Texas and James O'Hagan in Wisconsin and Minnesota with Logan and Peter. They're doing stuff at the state level as the people in the state and not from a kind of top down bureaucratic space, but a space where it's teacher building from a bottom up. And that's really where the groundswell is going to continue to happen for this class to be sports space. So if you look at the students and their parents as a consumer, do you think that they're that they are really looking for the opportunity to not only have competitive options, but to have content that is consistent with today's tech environment, where there's, you know, game gamification or like use of games even beyond Minecraft. Yeah, the so the to the point with the parents and students. Consumers, that's really the gaming industry, right? It's a hundred and eighty billion dollars from the world. So it's consumers and it's the average age. United States is thirty one as we learned from our friends at the entertainment software association, forty five percent are female. Now, the competitive side, when we talk about the parents being involved in the competitive sense, that's really low. But there are some great parents who are all in just like they are for little Timmy's baseball traveling team. There is there's plenty of parents who are all in who get it. Mostly that millennial gen X generation who get it because they also grew up playing Nintendo or Sega like I did. But you still it's it's going to keep evolving and adapting. Now, the the space, though, for those parents are is limited because there's not there's not a great way to connect other than that. You know, my parents, my dad played football in college. I played football in high school, so I he connected. He understood, right?  So we can contact. But had he been a gamer, maybe something in my life would have been driven differently into games. It was more of a profession. So I think that's what's happening with the the parent space now, especially for Zoomers, the Zoomer generation, those those kids up to, you know, ninety five born, ninety five. And and later that had parents who are a gen X millennials. And they are definitely engaging a lot more in the gaming in the sports space because they're the average age of the gamer. And the things like Minecraft have been around Pokemon. I think it's so funny to see.  What kind of stuff they got? Do they got a Charizard? Like that's that's interesting that they would connect that way. And the kids still do my six year old, 10 year old and 12 year old. They like Pokemon as well. So if I had liked it, maybe I would have connected. But I like video games and I just downloaded a new game on their switch today for six bucks because I wanted to play for player with them. So as kids and parents, we try to connect, but there needs to be some sort of line there that draws them together. And it depends on generations, I think. You know, and in another way of looking at it, do you think that some parents would stay away from schools that have those programs? Yeah, I mean, you can compare that to really any activity. Sure, let's in hypothetically, let's say I don't want to go to Texas because it's all about football. So I want my kid to be more academically involved. Well, that's not really where we're we're stereotyping, but that's a pretty common stereotype of they're all about football. So I'm not going to take my kid there.  Maybe Texas isn't that that could be a very big sense. The issue is here, rather than that parents don't know that it's even happening at schools for them to say no to it because it's such a small subset of every school that sometimes it's happening and the administration has no idea it's happening because it's a bunch of kids who got together to start a club. And maybe there's the the computer science teacher who's who is the sponsor and maybe the principal knows about it, but it's just something that's happening just like when I started a club in high school for certain things. And now everybody knows about it because it's just not it's just not out there. So parents potentially saying no. The good thing is people can choose. Yeah, not only the school, but they can. Esports isn't like taking over like it would say, well, I'm not going to go to New Hampshire because it's all about eSports, all those schools, just like I would think of Texas. So it's not there that yet. And I don't I hope it won't be because we're all trying to help our kids be smarter and faster and quicker. And we all want to live by carelessly through them to for them to be, you know, accepted and professional and have a job and all that stuff, the American dream. So I don't know if people are going to say no to it because there's a team there, but they probably will after they maybe learn out, learn that there's something going on in a school potentially to stay away from that because it's a waste of time because there's plenty of stigmas. We could spend a whole another 27 minutes on about the stigmas of gaming that I'm sure you've covered in other episodes. Well, so there are a lot of parents who probably would have to Google eSports because they don't even know what it is. So what what do you think about brand infiltration in Scholastic eSports?  And, you know, I mean, we're not talking about like generic math or science or or English. We're talking about a brand that's been created by, you know, yeah, like, like, you know, Riot Games or Epic. So first off, publishers have a ton of power, right? James Naysmith created basketball in Massachusetts and 18 something. And basketball has been around and there was 13 rules on the rulebook. Then now there's three pages of rule, three books of rules. But basketball, still basketball, I can start a basketball program in my house here and say, OK, we're playing a tournament. And no one would say you can't do that because we own basketball. We own the ball. That's obviously different with the publishers. There is a lot of IP and struggle with publishers and those games and those developers, especially in Scholastic, there's a lot of who's going to win. Who's going to help them make money? And that's what they're looking for, ultimately, usually now. But I would say beyond that, brands, when you talk about infiltrating in schools, it's funny because we say like, OK, well, basketball is not infiltrating schools in school. Books aren't math isn't. But what about the curriculum we ought to pay for? Like from McGraw Hill textbooks and all the salespeople that the district has to get involved with just so they can get a better price for a thousand books? There's there's already brands infiltrating. Unfortunately, our school systems spalding or whatever for basketball, basketball is there's already brands doing that. We just don't look at it the same way. Like there's obviously a correlation to something I could say we don't look at this anymore in life because it's just natural, right? So we as a new industry are we are big gatekeepers. We are very big gatekeepers in the sports industry when it comes to canceling people and other sorts of things. But this classic space is an extremely big gatekeeper. There are a lot of parents and teachers out there. And rightfully so, they should have a say in things and they do because it's a public institution and it's owned by the people. And the idea of brand infiltration is scary because one, we as eSports don't want to be like other industries. But how long can we gatekeep until they're really? Can we can we delay the inevitable, I guess, because every other part of school has some sort of issue with it as well? Can we really hold off or is it just the natural way of things? I have no idea. But it's important for us to be vigilant and talk about it because if we're not, then we're just another thing. And yeah, it's it's out there. But the brands and the IPs and the publishers and the developers, there's a lot of power there. And, you know, working in the title one space of all these schools, I can I see that they don't really ever get attention.  And they would be all for whatever kind of thing they had to put on their jerseys or a banner in their school. That's just unfortunately, a common thing just as much as a, you know, insurance agent putting their logo on a banner in the basketball gym is accepted. So it's where do we draw the line? We don't know, because we're big gatekeepers. You know, it's interesting because as consumers, we watch golf and we see Tiger Woods with Nike logo on his hat and on his shirt. And we don't even notice it, you know, or something, you know, because we're so used to those logo logos on any athlete that we see. And it was interesting because when I officiated international triathlon union events, we actually had to cover the logos on our hats or shirts. We could not have any logos. And and so, you know, in when we think about I think it's interesting how you said that they're already there, that it's that we have these, but we don't really notice it. So I mean, you know, that's a really interesting point. Do you see in 2022, do you think that there's going to be new games that that are developed that, you know, that we don't even know about yet or that, you know, maybe something that's just started lately that will become more popular in a school environment? 100 percent, Catherine, the next two weeks will have a new game. And then the next two weeks after that, it'll be a new game. And every two weeks throughout the next 52 weeks, there's going to be something new that is hot, hot and happening in the space. But it's also some of these games get big because of influence or push or buy for marketing, where you see a bunch of gamers on Twitch playing a certain game because they all got paid to and but they like it otherwise and that's out there. And that's what draws people to things like a Fall Guys or an Among Us.  So that's going to happen over and over this year, because the power of that influence is there just as much as, yeah, like the Nike logo is there. But in my head, I'm thinking I should buy Nike because I need to be as good as Tiger. That's why companies spend marketing dollars, right? And that's why they do it. And they're going to do it with games as well. And even though there was a game this year that they said they weren't going to do any influencers, they went back on that and actually did not for the purpose of other developers. They just like that do, but they wound up doing it anyways, because they knew there was an opportunity there and they saw the writing on the wall that they couldn't really make an impact unless they did that in this climate. So it's going to happen over and over. And the new games that come out that we don't know about, yeah, maybe they've been in development for five years, but they're not out because it's some indie, indie, indie organization, which indie games are a very hot item the past, you know, 10 years, I guess 50 years. Really, indie games have been around for a long time. But till now, there's now that easily it's easily accessible to create. Your kids can create on a code based program, a game that we can create a game on our phone. So it's much more accessible, just like all the other things that are accessible in our technology age. And how do you think that the pandemic has influenced scholastic e-sports? Well, it's if a lot of people say, I mean, when March rolled around 2020 and schools started shutting down and everything started shutting down, the football teams, basketball teams, banned you. Maybe you could like my 12 year old did banned over Zoom, which it's not the same, right? He learned how to play the clarinet. He basically learned how to play the clarinet.  Maybe football coaches could give assignments for workouts to go do in their yard. Or at that time, you know, we couldn't even go outside, right? Because we could we even walk down a trail in March. It's much different, right? And we were we were hand washing and wiping down our groceries compared to what we do now. So Jim Gaffigan's new comedy routine talks a lot about that. I think that's where I'm getting my comedy right now. But that's the the covid the epidemic and the pandemic with with 2020 and 2021. Esports was the resilient thing that we all talked about since March 2020. We've been talking about this, that it's been the resilient thing because it's not something that had to shut down because it's already online. Yeah, the opportunity to be face to face really hurt those brands really hurt those companies that wanted to advertise, but they had to shift. They had to shift to online marketing on Twitch, which exploded and YouTube gaming and Facebook and every other platform out there, ritual motion. Those are out there doing things where brands can show off just like a TV commercial. Obviously, it's even better than TV now on all the data we have. So it's grown and it's going to continue to grow because just as much as we like organizations and companies are sending their staff back to the office is because, wow, my staff can actually do this. But then there's a whole debate there. We can that's a whole another topic and and everything that's going on with property and everything else, but it's going to continue to grow because the pandemic expedited a lot of stuff for esports, this classic esports space as well. And we've seen nothing but growth and those developers and those publishers. They made a lot of money off it as well because everybody was buying games. Even those thirty one year olds who hadn't played in a while and they bought new games to play while they were also working and hanging out at their house. You know, that it seems like people recognize the fragility of this traditional sports situation that we can't always just assume we'll be able to get together in person and have these traditional sporting events and practices and that maybe there's a little bit more stability in being on the internet and interacting so that we're not, you know, getting our germs on each other. So, you know, I mean, that might be it. But tell us about Varsity Esports Foundation. Yeah, Catherine, just like I said earlier, we a couple of years ago started up to help with grants and scholarships to students in disenfranchised areas. And that's my main role in life right now for the past few years and raising funds to support schools that are in need. Title one schools here in the United States, those are schools with high free reduced lunch needs, percentages as well as schools in disenfranchised areas, low income areas, low socioeconomic status that are in need. So that's really our main focus. We've evolved to a lot more things into education as well as creating videos to help people understand what is esports so parents can see videos and help their kids. We work with a lot of we work with a lot of other organizations. You know, we were one of the first nonprofits in esports and we're happy to be that. And then ever since then, it's been a lot of fun getting to know a lot of other folks in the nonprofit space and esports and how much we've all been able to do and do together and how there's a lot of fun overlap for us to combine efforts and help parents and kids and whether it be LGBTQI plus and, you know, women and students and schools and everything out there, the nonprofit space in esports, it's been fun. And so we just spend a lot of time connecting I mean, the values for the foundation of my values because I run it and just want to connect people. And that's what I've been doing for a long time. And I want to keep doing it and keep talking about it. And if we're not talking about this stuff now, then when? And that's you can find out more about us on our website at varsityesportsfoundation.org. We take donations and they turn those donations right back into grants for students and schools in the United States. Right now, some in Canada, some overseas, so they can have access to esports clubs like the other kids do. Fantastic. Well, I think that's a terrific direction to go. And, Baba, thank you so much for being my guest today. I really appreciate it. Katherine, it was fun. I'm so glad and honored. We could find some time here on the end of the end of this 2022 opportunity for what's going to happen in Slastiki Sports. I hope to learn some more and maybe share some more as well. Fantastic. All right. And thank you to our viewers for joining us today next week. My guest will be Johnny Ryan Weaver of Click Gaming. See you then. Aloha.


everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and Reviewing Netflix. Now, I had called, well, I had called last week. Okay, I had called puts and Netflix that worked. Then this week, which is a short week, I did too. But it's very interesting because we went along here. And this was a great call. It was an option. It was a call. This had a tremendous move. It was more than $50 in one day. This was $8.26. But at the time that we were doing that, I'm just going to go show you here what happened with this market. You had the market breaking out. Okay. So Netflix fell last week with the market. Netflix is falling now. The market is green. Again, I don't know where we closed today in this, but I'll be watching it. But do you see this massive reversal that's happening in this? So this looks very, very promising here for the puts that I called. And I mean, I just, you know, we have to see really again what happens tomorrow with the data that comes out of the market reaction. But this has an hour of 45 minutes left in the day, and this is not going to recover today. And this could actually end up dragging down this whole sector and dragging down the cues. If this wants to get some momentum going, where would it have to do? Break yesterday's low. And I got to be honest with you, it's not that far away from it. 495. Boom. We are not that far away from it at all. And again, with almost two hours left, this is a long way to go down.  This stock has been very strong. It's still strong here. It's falling. Even if it falls, completely falls off a cliff. And the next day or two, it's still strong. But again, terrible place to buy here. And people went long yesterday. And I don't know when the earnings are on this. Let me look them up really quickly. Just want to see this. I think Netflix is one of the ones that reports early. I want to say Netflix usually reports early. It does. October 14th. So, well, it's about a month. About a month away. But this is one of the early ones for the fall. So these puts look good. We'll see where it goes. Good luck, everyone. If you're interested in the Gap Options newsletter, email me at Melissa at the stockswish.com to sign up. It's $69.99 a year and worth every penny. It's a bargain. To say that something costs $7,000 for the year and is a bargain, trust me when I say, I've had some huge calls this year. The calls last week.  It's going to fall into the close. If this breaks 495, I don't want to say anything else. Let's just see where it goes. I don't want to jinx that. It's looking good. Good luck, everyone and have a great day.


Islam brought respect for children especially for the girls and our Prophet used to call maximum respect for children especially for girls. I would like to mention a few examples and then make a comment that I think would be relevant to our world today. One incident which is very beautiful is our Prophet used to show lots of love to his children and grandchildren. For example, he used to kiss his grandchildren. In that society it was a sign of weakness for a man to kiss his children. You should keep your emotions inside. It was not a sign of strength. So one of the people who was there, he said to the Prophet, I never kissed my children. He was surprised how Rasulullah kisses his grandchildren. And Rasulullah said, if you don't show mercy, you will not receive mercy. You have to show mercy to children so that God would show mercy to you. In another incident which may happen more than once, we find that the Prophet when he was going to prostrate in Sajdah as we call it, in prayer, sometimes his grandchildren Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein were going on back of the Prophet and he was taking time. This is congregational prayer and many, many people are in that prayer but the Prophet had so much of love for his grandchildren that he was prolonging his prostration so that they come out of his back and then he stands up. In one incident that made a history once when Prophet was going to start his prayer, as you know we start with Takbirat u-Lehram, we say God is greater. So Imam Hussein, his grandson who was very little kid, he was in the prayer and he was not able to say Allahu Akbar. And the Prophet was asked by God to repeat. He repeated seven times this so that this young child can also say properly God is great. So this shows that love for children is a sense of religion and a sense of indeed humanity. We have a beautiful hadith from Prophet Muhammad that I think can summarize many things. He said, love children. As much as you can, you should show love and your affection to children and should have mercy on children. Mercy in my understanding is when you show love by giving without expectation. When I give and I expect something this is not Rahmah. Rahmah is to love but by giving not just loving giving but without expecting. And also the Prophet said whenever you promise children you must keep your promise. Sometimes you know some of us may say when I promise an adult I should keep my promise but maybe children forget. So I can promise something and later I may not be able to do it but just to make them happy for the moment I give a promise but this is not right. The Prophet said, When you promise children you should keep your promise and then he said something which I think a great lesson.  You should never disappoint the people who look at you as your Lord. So what I want to say is we whether it is our children or any children we should look at them as if we are responsible because they look at us as their Lord.  So when children are abused God is most unhappy with us. So my request is of course I don't think anyone here would be in need of this advice but we have to work together to spread this message that we work together to offer all children of the world which are all innocent and which are all gifts of God and in Islamic tradition we believe all children even miscarried babies they go to heaven. Even we have had this that a miscarried baby when God says go to heaven says I don't go to heaven unless my parents join me. So all babies all children these are innocent these are angels and they go to heaven. Our responsibility is to make sure that as much as possible we make the world safe but not only safe a warm and welcoming place for them.


New Eagles team team went crazy in weekend league. Let me show you the upgrades Boys man, we've been waiting for a wire receiver. We didn't quite get that Harold Carmichael that terrible lowlands cars like that Didn't quite get those guys, but we got the best young wire receiver nfl. Yep I said it the vante smith got a crazy upgrade the randall cutting ham and quarterback I'm using with the guy squad is like the best quarterback in the game without a doubt right now Randall cutting ham So that's a dub. So let's take a look at the team and where we're upgrading what we're working with right now Here's the offense.  So he's actually a viable left tackle now We have lane johnson a right tackle will actually play us for my main team. We got jason kelsey So a viable old line now, you know the guards.  They're doing all right They're doing they're gonna hold it down. I have post up on both of those guards So that'll help them with blocking zack earths. This guy is a machine. He actually just continues to eat on his team I don't know how he's this good 95 speed 65 he is actually a beast gets open gets it done everything But this is the card we've been waiting for man. We had to shine jackson. We got him 99 speed quest has 99 speed. I put him in a slot, but this is the card This is the upgrade man the vante smith when he's on the eagle steam team I don't think we got to do the overcharge or anything like that. You see him 99 speed On all high mid 90s in the in the route running, you know, six foot He's going to be a beast for sure 91 carry. He can spin juke all that good stuff He's going to carry the offense defense. I'll be honest boys We need a couple upgrades, but we did do some free agency moves We got the boy hassan reddick the filly native camden new jersey We got him. We signed a big pickup. Let me know. Was that a double l and free agency? Also, what is your team doing free agency? You're looking at what my team did in free agency hassan reddick The a defensive end speed rusher extraordinary pair him with hargrave Fletcher cox the big boys in the middle alongside brandy graham and josh sweat got a lot of good de lineman That's what the eagles do. So hassan reddick big deal. This card was actually expensive It was almost 800k for this card 95 speed that 99 finesse move He's going to get after it like you will this year in the nfl and the other low key pickup that we made This guy kaiser white. I call him kaiser. So say now they didn't upgrade He doesn't have eagles kem yet, but he will and then he'll be 97 speed linebacker Tell me about this guy man. I don't know man People are telling me it's an underrated pickup by the eagles kaiser. So say You guys might be too young to know where that's from kaiser.  So say still got russell douglas derrius sleigh man This card has been letting me down needs to upgrade only has that 98 speed Needs to upgrade their sleigh, but that's my defense. I actually use her eric row and malcolm jankins Both could use upgrades. We got michael vic at safety. So that's a little bit rough with brian dawkins Defense is a little makeshift, but we're going to make it happen. We're going to get it done What does your theme team need? What theme team are you rocking? What cards are you waiting for? How could they improve man, but see how this equals theme team? I have a blast playing with this team I keep it strict.
