Welcome back to the channel y'all. We are working on some bows here today, man. I am already thinking about Hunting well, I've been thinking about it for months quite honestly getting to the woods Trying to accomplish this goal. I've made for myself this year of taking out a whitetail with a bow and arrow setup that I've made myself. I'm on my fourth or fifth bow build right now and And I'm gonna show you guys some of the bows that I've been building right now We're on a hickory bow, and it's pretty much complete, but I'm gonna put a snake skin on this Never done a snake skin before thought it'd be kind of cool You guys can hang out with me here at the treehouse today, and we're gonna do that together Possum took him out. Wabam. No more rooters around in the grass with a flower bed So that's good. We're on a weekend here And I usually work on archer stuff and hang out with the family on the weekends So I've got my snake skin right here. We're going to rehydrate this snake skin It's been drying out for over a month. So we'll put it in some water Let it rehydrate and while it's doing that I'm gonna show you guys around with the bows that have been building. So this is what the snake skin looks like When it's all dried out. This is off of a rat snake a Texas rat snake It's got some cool red in it. I thought it'd be neat and normally you would take two snake skins Try to match them. It'd be really cool to have some copper heads or some rattlesnakes something like that don't have that but this came from a snake that was getting into a chicken coop and Eating some it already eating some baby chicks and some eggs causing some issues so we Into that and we are going to cover this bow because it happens to be a very long snake and we'll cover This whole entire hickory bow. So I got my favorite little tin cup here My camp cup my hunting cup always take around. I don't know why I'm putting that snakeskin in there So I'm gonna be drinking some delicious coffee out of that one day again But we'll just let that soak in there I'm gonna say about 30 minutes Never done this before and I'm not an expert. So Don't take my advice and I'm sure you guys will correct all my mistakes in the comments But if you guys do want to and you still have a chance to do this if you do want to try Building a bow. Maybe you have a deer lease that you always go to You just want to switch it up this year kind of like me you can build your own bow You can get the bow year's Bible which basically tells you everything you know Everything you need to know about building bows from wood in your backyard or getting staves or whatever you can buy staves There's tons of videos on on YouTube about it where you can learn that way as well But it seems like even everybody that that makes YouTube videos. They all revert back to that bow year's Bible That's kind of the the it's the Bible man. It's the basics of building bows So if you want to get into it I highly recommend that book and it's just cool. It's cool outdoor book to have in the collection So, let me put this on the tripod. I'll show you guys The Comanche bow first the Comanche flat bow. This is the first bow I built out of Osage And it's a Comanche flat bow. This was a branch a large branch But it was a branch of Osage wood. It's got tons of knots terrible terrible. That's why I had to put raw hide on it And you know, I've just finished sealing it this morning. So this is one I've been working on it is a Instinctual style bow.  It's just like snap shooting. It's literally how a lot of the Indian shot It's really fun to shoot the problem is in a hunting scenario. I get a little nervous with consistency I like to have an anchor point So coming inside to the cave and this one is another branch bow that is also wrapped in raw hide and It's Osage and it's also sealed put a leather handle on it and it's about a You know, I'm gonna say after adding the raw hide it's close to 40 pounds pull it back. It's got a it's got a little three inch offset Tips or flip so it's you know semi-recurved.  I've got different spines and different lengths needless to say I have fully immersed myself into the trad game Love it, but I haven't I haven't forgot about the conventional y'all two of them I'm working on right now. The crossbow is a separate project But anyway, two of these I'm gonna be doing videos on these complete Full setups from scratch tags still on it. This one doesn't even have a string on it So complete full setup this year and I'm taking my newfound interest in trads and I'm kind of kind of putting that into these compounds. I'm pretty excited about archery this year to say at least All right, we're filling time while our snakeskins soaking So while this is still soaking I'm gonna get this Pickery bow ready. I'm gonna put it in my vise here Doing this traditional post up is a lot of it's just woodworking. So many of the tools that Already have I just put them to use and then making these bows So what I'm gonna do right here is just scuff up the top of this. So we're literally gonna take wood glue Put it on top of here and then apply the snakeskin. It's pretty simple It's exactly how I've been doing the raw hide as well. It's yet to come off yet to explode We shall see though. So to get a good adhesion. I'm gonna take this 80 grit Sandpaper I'm just gonna go with With the grain here Actually not not really liking the way that is Going too much I'm actually gonna take Sold crusty hacksaw Try to get a little bit deeper scarring on here Denatured alcohol this stuff right here Don't take a swig of Light you up. Not that I've done it. I'm just gonna wipe this down to get any sort of Cheeto stains Potato greasy potato chips. No kidding. I'm not not putting that stuff in my bows But you know just oils from my hands just messing around with it Any sort of other stuff from the shop? I Have to get to see a snakeskin Back to trad bow where I'm like that doesn't look good. They all look good Now I've never seen one with a rat snake on it. This is probably gonna be one of the few out there, but Nevertheless should look cool. It's got a little red pop in it. So when I put put a sealer on here It's gonna be pretty Wood glue that we're gonna be using and every everybody needs to have this in the wood shop. Anyways Tight bonds. This is type on three though. It's It's waterproof or they say it's waterproof. Here's the issue with this one right here It's I was putting that little recurve in there. I just I just sent it a little too hard Over the edge and just barely cracked. I was heating the wood And it just barely cracked and I tight bonded the absolute tar out of it I mean, there's a fat layer of tight bond on there. So by no means Am I a master craftsman at this but I've shot this bow enough times now that I think it's gonna hold up I haven't seen any issues in the crack. I've probably shot it two or three hundred two or three hundred arrows With having that crack on there and it hasn't has it budged So we're gonna add this snake skin on here now First of all, you want to drink that water for good luck just in case I'm just kidding. I'm gonna pour this water out All right, so it's in there about 20 minutes and now it's completely soggy soft That's what you want. So I'm gonna actually lay this out over the bow sort of how I want it Put it on look at this big boy. You think that thing could eat a chicken? Oh, yeah Eat its last chicken look at that. Isn't that pretty that is pretty cool guys That is awesome for the first time laying a snake skin on a bow just feels feels right So I'm gonna cut this little four inch section off here And for some reason it's also got like a weird I don't know if it just had meat more meat on it or something. It's kind of crooked Take that piece off Save that for something else maybe someday I'll need a piece of snakeskin for something now. I just need to make sure there's not scales Underneath it Which there are So it's not gonna go over the sides of the bow. It's technically gonna just be on the back So that is starting to get sort of tacky. I don't want to like super Liquidity because it'll slide around a bunch We're gonna start laying our skin on here So from right here, I don't really know what I'm doing.  I feel like I'm missing a huge step right here something is Missing something big and I don't know what it is. I'll figure it out as soon as I'm done. I Did not refer to the boyers books At all before I came and did this I literally just walked out in the garage and said hey, I want to do this Turn on the camera. It's pretty much on here at this point y'all So all I'm really doing It's just stretching it out Just pulling the edges to try to get those Any little glue pockets bubbles out and then you stretch that skin To get it tight over the top Hey, I'm excited about that y'all that looks cool I just think that's one of those ones you just break it out of the truck at deer camp You know like boys. Hey, let me show you something got something new this year. You break it out They're like you did that dude. You really did that. Yeah, man.  I honestly I shoot Pretty much every day that I'm home every evening when it cools down just a scotch I just want to share these bows with you guys Really pretty awesome. We're tired on them So get a little shooting right here See if we get some groups Pretty decent little group. There we go. So, you know, that's it 15 yards About, you know, it's obviously in for the center So didn't get that but as long as you're consistent, whatever, you know, whatever you do What however you get there however you're hitting that target consistently, you know do it But for me something that I figured out Because early on I was like I'd be swapping the target and then my third or fourth shot It was just like I missed the target Like how am I off that much like I'm hitting and then I'm off And I just figured out my hand my hand position and a lot of times you see it in the arrow flight Or how it's positioned in the target if your arrow's left or right I've had a tendency to Come back and be inconsistent when I'm pulling back like I'm waiting for the string to leave my hand And now I'm sort of positioning right here It's like in between my ear And my chin like right on the jaw Making a little C with my hand. So that's that's where I'm pulling So it's not my full draw length like when I would draw when I draw back on my compound my knuckle Is sitting right there behind my ear But with this I'm right here. So it's you know, two and a half three inches shorter Ending on it partially because of the group was nice to look at but the form I My form was consistent all three shots felt great. So just took our snakeskin bow. I moved it outside So we can get some breeze. We've got a little breeze today. It's about 104 Little toasty not as hot as yesterday. It was 107 But we're gonna go inside here. So I heard a whisper Someone was gonna make an ice cream cookie That's something I want to be a part of there. There are osg's classic snickerdoodle ice cream Sandwich cookies that is happening right there my friends and that is my lovely wife's hands But lady Cookin ice cream sandwiches on a Sunday I won't let it get anywhere You won't let it get anywhere. No, it's gonna be messy except your mouth, right? Hey, what's going on here? How come she's being served for me? I'm sorry. Do you have an ice cream sandwich? I thought I was getting special treats. Did I not conquer the yard for you? You're right So Thank you I'm just kidding. Nothing in this world is just for me when you have Two kids in the household. So it is your last in line Big bonus points getting that possum now ice cream cookies magically here. It's you see this. See this happy wife Happy life. Thanks for happening Well, I'm gonna put that in my face. Okay We got cinnamon now my Cinnamon went down my throat All right, Bo's been out here three hours in a hundred plus degree heat So the wood glue it should be dry now when I see some of the scales that are starting to flake up a little bit so One thing that I've noticed Is that since it's been drying it's curling in some areas And it's starting to kind of get warpy on the edge and you can already hear it It's it's fairly dry But I think it's safe enough at this point that I can go ahead Take a take a blade and just take off that excess on the sides and see what we're looking like I've still got a little bit of work to do With the knife just taking the real sharp knife And since I've kind of beveled the edges of this bow, it's kind of rounded Just have to do that a little more with the knife and get those little spots touch up spot right here I put some wood glue in one of these little I don't know what you call little disposable containers. It's got a little metal Beak on the top so I can insert that into real small little cracks and crevasses And just a couple spots where I missed the edge. I'm going to put it up under there And press that down and I'm actually going to let this thing sit overnight really harden on the edges And then I'll be able to uh Just scuff it up on the sides with some sandpaper kind of get it all smooth Are we uh, we putting on a concert out here for that?  Yeah Say yay daddy If it was a copperhead, do we honest it would be that's the ultimate you get two copperheads and Put them put them on there, but that's just one snake covering the entire bow. It's kind of crazy Almost I mean from tip to tail it definitely would have covered the entire thing And this is one that was in the chicken coop. Yeah, not ours. It was in uh, where we got our chicken from Yeah, like you see we roll like does yes It kind of has that like yes Yes for anyone that is out there wondering It is like sushi rolls I think I did a decent job. I don't see any uh big air bubbles that I can make out and You know if I had any of those we could probably fix them at this point, but I really don't see any Cut around that shelf pretty good So I think it looks awesome, man Makes for some good camo looks good. I think once we get uh coat of finish on there It's really gonna pop it'd be all shiny and glossy So I don't know if that'll be a like a primary hunting bow, but definitely something cool to Play around with the backyard and hunt smaller game with I think the rest of the snakeskin project is going to be pretty self-explanatory guys We're just going to scrape scales off put a coating on there and it's pretty much done I got a wait a while to be able to shoot it though I would show you in that in today's video, but it just takes it's going to take days from now So you can go check out the finished product on my instagram It's lake fork guy I'll leave the link for it down below as well And with the few short hours I have left here in the cave for the weekend working on archery stuff I'm working on Some arrows for compound bows and I want I want you guys to let me know in the comments any of you guys You know fletch your own arrows or just have preferences on arrows That you buy let me know in the comments down below.

You're not going to believe this, but I just spent $2,500 on this box and I have no clue what's inside. Well at least I think it's a pair of shoes. Welcome back to the channel. What's up with you guys? How you doing? How you being? If you didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is The DNA Show. On this channel, I love talking about sneakers and especially doing weird stuff like this.  Anyways, if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. With all that being said, let's talk about how we even got to this point because this literally just happened a couple days ago.  So I'm trying to hurry up and get through the intro for y'all because I just want to see what's inside. Alright, so let's go over this real quick. So basically, I got a text message on Tuesday. It says, you ever buy Warren shoes?  I still buy you shoes and then he asked me the next question. He said, do you trust me? And I'm like, I hearted it. You know, I liked it. And then I was like, oh, yeah, like digging in my head like, yeah, bro, I trust you. Like we didn't done plenty of deals in the past. Like we didn't done mystery boxes, you know, shout out soul steals, all that different stuff. He sends me another text right after that. He says, send me $2,500. And then I'm thinking in my head like, this man says, send me $2,500, which means like, he's not going to show me when I'm getting. This is all super random, but he's got to have something good for me. So I was like, you know what, effort, like let's do it. So I send him a screenshot of me sending the payment. I ended up zilling him the bread. That was on Tuesday. We are now currently Thursday. The shoes just got here this afternoon. I was busy and now I finally got the shoes. So if you can't tell, I'm a little anxious right now, but we need to get in the studio and open up this box and see what is inside because I can tell it's one pair of shoes.  It's literally one shoe inside this box, bro. I don't know what I'm getting myself into. This YouTube stuff is crazy, bro. Let's take it to the studio. All right. Here we go. Basically, like I said earlier, I got these from Soul Steals. We have done mystery boxes in the past and I've gotten some cool stuff from them. But this one, this was a different type of mystery box, very sporadic. And I was not prepared for this, but let's just go ahead and crack this box open and see what we got inside. This is crazy, bro. This is so crazy. I feel like honestly, this is the most like, anticipated mystery box I've ever opened before simply because I wasn't planning for this. Like I knew obviously everyone was a mystery before, but this is just like random box coming to the house. Okay. So this is the bottom of the box right here. I don't know if you can see it from the top angle, but let's flip it over. I'm not going to read the label yet. So this is okay. Okay. This is giving me ideas right here. So as you can see right here from the top of the box, this is your retro new modern style air Jordan box with the gold jetman. And I started to breathe a little bit hard because I'm low key thinking what I had a feeling just based off of this box and how he knows me. I'm thinking this is a college PE, but I'm not sure. Typically the college PE is coming. These type of boxes. So let's read the label and see what it says. Oh, oh. Let's go. Already know what it is. Already know it is unless you bamboos with me. Air Jordan 7 retro university gold classic green size 12 and a half size 12 and a half. Just for me. This is crazy. Right. He knew I was just trying to get a pair of these because I haven't had these. I haven't got these in my collection yet. This is so crazy. Bro, I was looking out. This is a really good deal. Honestly. Oh my gosh. Bro, these things are so freaking clean too. This is so crazy. Let me, let me unlace these things. So clearly. Yes, these have been worn and for those that don't know, I'm going to give you guys a quick rundown. Oh my gosh. I'm, I missed out on a couple organ sneakers and this is one that I did miss out on and he knew that because you know, I'm trying to complete the set trying to make sure I have every single college organ PE. Bro, I've seen the shoe before. I know what it looks like. All those things. So I'm not shocked on that in. I'm just so happy that I was able to get this pair for $2,500 use size 12 and a half. The insoles are great. Bro, they like wore these like a couple times. Like this pair is clean. The suede is intact. Everything looks really, really good. All right. Let me show you guys some beauty shots of this shoe. Let's hit a little bit of B roll so I can get my mind right and then I'll be back at you guys in a second. Let me know what you guys think about these down below and again, shout out to soul stills for taking care of your boy because I needed to spare my collection so bad and I didn't know what I was going to get these, but you know, I'm always patient. I'm always looking for a good deal and this was a great mystery. A great deal. I'm a bro, bro. When's the next sneaker con? I'm rocking these like very soon. These are so fire. Okay. Now, let me, uh, let me, let me calm down for a second because I'm happy that they're my pair and all that. Now, originally when I first saw these, I was like, they're a dope shoe, but it's just too overpriced and that's why I didn't get them when they originally came out and I was like, you know what? I'll wait. Let me be patient and finding this pair right here for this price. Honestly is an amazing deal. I'm super happy about this pickup. Yo, soul stills. I appreciate you guys.

Hi, what's up, good people, Karibuni Sana. Today we have an amazing guest, she goes by the name Maureen in real life Brenda. Tkonae apa tako tkupi guestori nae atombie amekuwa je Maureen. How are you? I'm good. Nikosawa eh, it's been a good one. So... Unendele aje pala kwa setitun na mambo, ina chemuka kidogo ebutu, changamisha kidogo, mambo ene? Mambo ene na Shwari, guleti nafa. Alice, istangu am back for her. Istangu ama puna mutwa tumes nae, na lazima tupede kajib na traka. Ya. Ok, kuna iso. Kuna the previous interview that you did, someone was asking, wewe una deit, tito ama, tito ni buwana ako, I don't know ni yuliza ajiwa suwali, ebutu ala. No, we are not dating. No. Sisi ni ma brother, that's it. Tito nae kwa industry moja, doa me kwa beshtangu, even before Becky as I had said, but we are not dating. Actually... Namakwae, today we are seeing some child actors, we are very proud of them. How did your journey start? Childhood. Childhood. From my house. From our house. Oh, ok. Around six. Six years. Yeah. What was your first gig then? No, not as a gig, but just having fun in the house with my mum, my mum was very happy with it. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, my mum was like my tutor. Yeah, so... Yeah, this was fun, but professionally it was 2013. 2013. Yeah. Which was the first movie that you did? Movie. Blood Ties by Insignia. Yeah.  Chase your dreams. Never give up. Challenges are there and not everyone is happy for you, but learn to know when to do what you need to do. Yeah. We'll see why give up and that's the main thing. Don't give up. Yeah. It might take time. Like, the best example I normally use is Mogan Freeman at 55. So that means dreams are valid. It doesn't matter what time. Everyone has their different chases. Everyone has a different timeframe. So just don't give up. Keep on pushing. Sorry I cut you there. I was going to ask, do you think the film industry is a safe place for children? It's crazy. It's... It's 50-50. Because I'll be lying if I don't say we have praise out here. And this praise even target, even the adults like us. So kids are the most dangerous sport and so when you have a child in the industry, you really have to look out for them. You really have to mentor them a lot to make them understand what the extent they need to give themselves out. And what are some of the characteristics they need to portray and how they need to protect themselves in case you are not there. Yeah. But as a parent, you always need to be there. You always need to find out who has your child and when and what exactly the child is doing in case you're not there because at times we send our children with nannies, with friends. Yeah, but you always need to know. Yeah. What is that one role you have always wanted to play? Hey, Afani, this is one of the last times I've been going on. I don't see one. No. How are you? Please, it's interesting. Yeah. Me as Brenda, I always go for every role like it was my first because every role in a different character and so when I approach it in a different way, then none of them is special. Each character, it all depends on how I achieve it, how I perceive it. Yeah, so yeah. How can I use specific character? Okay. I love action movies. So all my characters are good. I love all my characters. But my number one is Maliet on Pakani. Yeah, because growing up, I always wanted to play the role of an action, like be that character. Yeah, being an action movie and all that. But still, all my characters are really good. All of them. I love all of them. Yeah. We love your screen. We love your screen. Thank you. That's film pay. Yes, it does, but then it takes time. We live in a city where you need to have a name to get better pay. So before you have that name, you need to have an aside hustle. So that's why everyone is fighting to get that fame. Because when you get that name, then it's easy. Yeah. Do you take acting as a full-time job or a part-time job? Full-time. Full-time. Why? Because I wake up, I go to bed, I work, everything around me is at, and that's where I want to live. I'm hoping some years to come, I would have my own production house and also mentor some people who really need the chance to grow as I did. Yeah. If Brenda was not acting today, and you want to find a name? I'll be a journalist. Yeah, I'll be a journalist. Yeah. Maybe now I want to the kids as they, you know, as the premier and going forward, just a word for them. Now as the, maybe new in this industry, maybe when they learn, you will be better. One major thing is don't let fame take over your life. Fame is bad. It comes, but then it takes a few shots to put it down. So as long as, as much as you're acting, as much as the main character, do not let it ruin your life. Do not feel different from others. Do not feel special.  Yeah, it's just like any other job like it. Yeah.  Yeah, I have. Can you tell us about it? I came to Becky when I was not, I was not so okay. I've been battling first stage of Greta and it's given me different challenges in myself. Like my voice, my throat swell, I swell and people who do not know that tend to attack me, especially with my voice. They find my voice funny for themselves. Like they don't know what I'm going through. So it's been a struggle. Yeah, it's been a struggle, but hopefully I'll overcome it because I'm under medication. And if you noticed from the beginning of the show to now, there's a difference. There's a bit of difference. So yeah, that's the one thing I'm battling with online. I don't know what's happening. So they're just using that as an attack mechanic. Yeah. Going through all that, what keeps you moving? I trust that it's positive as I can. And the kind of person would laugh at it. What do you call it? If you bully me, I laugh at it because at the end of the day, if it makes you happy to bully someone, then I think there's a big, really big problem with you. If you bully someone and you take credit for that, you have a huge problem. You need to work on yourself. Personal, I feel like bullies have so much insecurity issues and they tend to throw blame to people so that they can use it to cover themselves up. Yeah. So for me, all I do is laugh about it and go on because at the end of the day, we're all humans. We're not here to stay.  But continue being happy. You won't stop me from being happy. Yeah. What message would you tell people who like bullying people out there without knowing what they are battling in really? If you are bullied out there, you need to, if you find happiness in doing that, you need to sit down and ask yourself so many questions, like, am I okay? Like, what benefit does it give me to make someone else feel bad? What benefit do I get? Do I get a trophy? Do I get friends? What does it give you? And if you do that calculation and find out there's no benefits whatsoever, then you need to work on yourself. You need healing. You need to really work on yourself to overcome that. Personally, I feel like being a bully is lacking something. So if you're a bully out there, you need to find that thing that you're lacking. So you can feel whole enough to feel happy for others. Alright. Thank you so much. We're glad you're recovering. We wish you all the best. Thank you. Nassanti Senafukami, we hope you enjoy the premiere. Before to Malaysia, your relationship with Tisha, your friends, one minute, another minute, you're not friends, tell us about your relationship with Tisha. On set. On set, we're not really friends according to the story. It's just that when I see the something I can get from her, then I smile about it. Maureen is a go-getter, if you know by now. In real life, we're actually friends. Okay, not so close friends, but we're friends. We actually had a phone call with her last night. So yeah. What you do tell your fans out there or watching you and they're still watching Becky and they love what you're doing? Just one word. Now Pender Sanna. No heroes. My haters. You make me famous. To my haters, you make me famous. Nassanti Senafukami, you deserve the trophy. Thank you so much. Thank you too.


Hi everyone, my name is Adrián Ranea and in this short talk I will present implicit web boxing implementation, while boxing air excifers, a joint work with Joaquín van der Missen and Barre Planel. While in cryptography we mostly assume that the endpoints of the communication are secure, this is not the case in some real world scenarios, and the world's case scenario is modeled by the web box model that assumes an attacker that has full control on the device running the crypto computation, meaning that the attacker can observe and modify all the intermediate values at will, and software implementations of existing block ciphers like AES that try to protect against these web box attackers are called web box implementation. And the main goal of this implementation is to prevent an attacker that has access to the implementation to an underlying code to extract the key from the implementation. All the web box implementations published in academia follow the idea of encode wrong functions that consist of the following method. First, the cipher is decomposed into rounds. Then in each round, one append random permutation called wrong encodings to the input and to the output of each round. And to cancel the effect of the encodings, the input encoding of the next round is chosen as the inverse of the open encoding of the previous round. After this is done for all rounds, the wrong encodings are merged with the wrong functions and then each encode wrong function is implemented independently. Two methods to build web box implementation have been published in academia and they differ on the type of the wrong encodings and on the way that they implement the encode wrong functions. The first and most used method is the CIO framework where the wrong encodings are concatenation of small nonlinear functions so that the encoder functions can be implemented as a network of small look at tables. The second method that has not been used much is the self-equivalence framework where the wrong encodings are self-equivalence of the nonlinear layer, meaning special type of a fire permutation that commute with the nonlinear of the cipher. And thanks to this property, the encode wrong functions can be implemented with matrices instead of look at tables. And while many web box implementation of existing block ciphers have been proposed, all of them have been broken. And no major progress has occurred recently in the design of web box implementation. That is why in this work we propose a new method to build web box implementation, the implicit framework. As opposed to previous method, our method prevents all known genetic attacks by using large nonlinear encodings and still provide practical and efficient implementation. Not only that, but our method is also the first one that can be applied to AORX ciphers, ciphers that use the modal addition as the nonlinear layer. To have practical implementation with large nonlinear encodings, the wrong encodings in an implicit implementation are built carefully as the composition of a fire permutation and a fine nonlinear self-equivalence. Very briefly, to build an encode wrong function, we proceed as follows. First, we append an affine nonlinear self-equivalence of the round. That is, a pair of permutations where the first one is defined and the second one is nonlinear. And they cancel each other when used after and before the wrong function. Then we append a random affine permutation and its inverse between the output of the round and the second element of the self-equivalence. And all these modifications still preserve the input and output behavior of each round. And finally, we merge the affine permutation and the self-equivalence with the wrong function forming the code rounds. The encode wrong functions are built in this way so that the input encoding is nonlinear and the output encoding is affine and thanks to this restriction, we can implement each encode round as a system of low-degree equations that is easy to solve with Gaussian elimination. To apply the implicit framework to an electric ciphers, we need to sample self-equivalence of the model of vision. And in this work, we also proposed a new genetic method to find self-equivalence that we apply to the permute model of vision. We obtained for the first time self-equivalence of this operation. And with this self-equivalence, we can now build infesting implementation of electric ciphers. And that was all for this preview, but in the main talk, I will be covering many more details, like the two open-source tools that we proposed with this work. So I hope to see you all there.


How do you make a question then? You have to you don't have to how do you make a question? Huh, how do you know not have you? No, how do you make a question I'm asking the question you have to No, it's a question look this question and my question that All right What goes here? But then got two answers here got two answers look Do you have to stop do you have to stop? Yes, I do right now This isn't about you one person.  So what's the question there then? Do you can turn right there's no do with can we don't use do can you that's it can you Turn left not turn left. This is right. Isn't it? Oh This you also the boy can you turn right? Can you turn right? Yes, yes, you can see somebody's on the ball. Can you turn right? Ah Right ah Yeah, so there's a this is worksheet about this So it instructions are on here You can see what to do So just read what to do and then do the answers there Just like that really


Live from Barcelona, Spain, it's theCUBE! Covering Cisco Live Europe. Brought to you by Cisco and its ecosystem partners. Hello everyone, welcome back to theCUBE's live coverage here in Barcelona, Spain for Cisco Live Europe 2019. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante as well. Stu Miniman has been co-hosting all week. Three days of coverage, we're in day two. We're here with very special guests. We're in the DevNet Zone, and we're here with the leader of the DevNet team of Cisco. Excuse me, we senior vice president and CTO of Cisco DevNet, welcome. Good to see you. Thank you, good to see you, and I'm glad that we have you here again in the DevNet Zone. You've been running around, it's been super exciting to watch the evolution. We chatted a couple of years ago, okay, we're going to get some developer-centric APIs. You had a small community growing, now it's exploding. Be sure to show the size gets bigger every year. It was interesting. Yeah, we took a chance on it, right? So we didn't know, and you took this bet with me is just that the network is becoming programmable. The infrastructure is programmable, and not only is the technology becoming programmable, but we can take the community of networkers, IT infrastructure folks, app developers, and get them to understand the programmability of the infrastructure. And it's really interesting that these classes are packed, they're very deep, they're very technical, the community is getting along, and networkers are developers. Yeah, and you nailed it, because I think as a CTO, you understood the DevOps movement, saw that in cloud. And I remember my first conversation, you're like, you know, the network has a DevOps angle too, if you can make it programmable, and that's what it's done, and you're seeing Cisco's wide, having this software abstraction, ACI anywhere, HyperFlex anywhere, connecting to the cloud, now Edge, APIs are at the center, the DNA center platform. Yes. API first, very successful project. Yes, yes. This is the new DNA of Cisco, is APIs. This is what it's all about. It is, it is. And, you know, like, at first, you know, when we started this journey five years ago, a few of our products had APIs, like a few of them were programmable.  But we've been building it in, and now practically every product is programmable, every product has APIs. So now you have a really rich fabric of, yeah, security, data center, enterprises and campus and branch networks, like, and it can, you know, now put together really interesting things. Well, congratulations, it happened and it's happening. So I got to ask the question, now that it's happening, happened and happening, continuing to happen, what's the impact to the customer base? Because now you're now seeing Cisco clearly defining the network and the security aspect of what the network can do, foundationally, and then enabling it to be programmable. Yeah. What's happening now for you guys? Obviously apps can take advantage of it, but what else is the side effect of this investment? Yeah, so the interesting thing is, if we take a look at the industry at large, what happens is you kind of have the traditional view of IT, you know? So if you take a look at IT, you know, what do you need it for? I need it to get my compute, just give me my servers, give me my network, and let's just hope it works. And then it was also viewed as being old, like I can get all this stuff on the cloud and I can just do my development there, why do I need all of that stuff, right? But once you take it and the industry has come along, what happens is you need to bring those systems together, you need to modernize your IT, you need to be able to just, you know, take in the cloud services to take the applications come across, but the real reason you need it is because you want to impact the business. You know, so kind of what happens is, like every business in the world, every is being disrupted, right?  If you're in banking, you have the digital disruption, like every manufacturing is starting to get interesting and what you're doing in energy. So all of this has kind of disruption angles, but really the key is that IT holds the keys. So IT can sit there and keep its old infrastructure and say, I have all this responsibility, I'm running this machinery, I have this customer database, or you can modernize, right? And so you can either hold your business back or you can modernize, make it programmable, and then suddenly allow cloud native, public, private cloud, deploying new applications and services, and suddenly become an innovative platform for the company, then you can solve business problems and make that real. And we're actually seeing that's becoming real. Well, and you're seeing it right in front of us. So a big challenge there, what you just mentioned, having the skills to be able to do that, but the appetite of this audience to absorb that knowledge is very, very high. So for example, we've been here all week watching, essentially Cisco users, engineers, absorb this new content to learn how to basically program infrastructure. That's right. And it's not Cisco employees, it's the community. It's the world of Cisco certified engineers, like people who are doing networking and IT for companies and partners around the world. And so, what do they have to go through to get from where they were not modernized to modernized? Yeah, and actually, and that's a good way because when we look back to five years ago, it was a question. Like we knew the technology was going to become programmable and the question is, are these network guys, are these IT guys everywhere, are they going to stay in the old world? Are they really going to be the ones that can work in the new world? Are we going to hire a bunch of new software guys who just know it or cloud native, they get it all, to do it all? Well, it doesn't work that way because to work in oil and gas, you need some expertise in that and those guys know about it. To work in, again, retail and banking and all these, there's some industry knowledge that you need to have, but then you need to pick up that software skill. And five years ago, we didn't know if they would make that transition, but we created DevNet to give them the tools within their language and kind of within what they do.  Your community said we're all in. Well, I'm interested in, we've seen other large organizations, infrastructure companies, try to attract developers like this. I'm wondering is it because of the network? Is it because of Cisco? Are there some other ingredients that you combine? Is it the certified engineers who have this appetite? Why is it that Cisco has been so successful and I could name a number of other companies that have tried and failed. Some of them even own clouds and have really not been able to get traction with developers, why Cisco? Well, I mean, I think we've been fortunate in many ways as we've been building it out, but I think part of it, like the way any company would have to go about, kind of taking on programmability, DevOps, these types of models is tough. And there's not one formula for how you do it. But in our case, it was that Cisco had a very loyal community, and we appreciate that very loyal community because they are out there working the gear, building the networks, like running train stations, transportation systems, running around the world. And so they've had to invest a lot into that knowledge. Now, we then gave them the tools to learn. We said, here's coding 101. Here's your APIs, here's how to learn about it. And your first API call will be get network devices. Here's how you automate your infrastructure. Here's how you do your things. And because we put it into there, they're grabbing on and they're doing it. And so it was kind of having that base community and being respectful of it, and yet bringing them along, pushing them. Like we didn't say keep doing things the old way. Yes, learn software, and we're not going to water down how you have to learn software. Like you're going to get in there, you're going to use REST APIs, you're going to use Postman, you're going to use Git. And we have that kind of like first track to just get them using those tools. And we also don't take an elitist culture, like we're very welcoming of it, and respectful of what they've done, and like just teach them and let them go. And the thing is like once you do it, like once you spend your time and you've go, oh, okay, so you get the code from GitHub, I got it. Now I see all this other stuff. Okay, now I made my REST API call and I've used Postman. Oh, I get it, it's a tool. Just once you've done just that, you are a different person. And then it's business impact. Then it's business, yeah. And like then you're also able to experiment. Like you suddenly see a bigger world because you've been responsible for this one thing, but now you see the bigger world and you think differently. And then it's business impact because then you're like, okay, how do I modernize my infrastructure? How can I just automate this task that I do every day? I'm like, I don't want to do that anymore. I want to automate it, let me do this. And once you get that mindset, then you're doing more and then you're saying, wait, now can I install applications on this? Boy, my network and my infrastructure can give lots of business insights. So I can start to get information about what applications are being called, what are being used. You know, when you have retail operations, you can say, oh, what's happening in this store versus that store? When you have a transportation system, where are we most busy? When you're doing banking, where is like mobile, are you having mobile transactions or in store transactions? There's all this stuff you learn and then suddenly you can really create the applications that impact business. So they get the bug, they get inspired, they stand up some quick sandbox with some value and go, wow. Or they use our DevNet sandbox so that they can start stuff and get experiment, yeah, they can use their stuff right away. It's a cloud kind of mindset of standing something up and saying, look at, wow, I could do this. I couldn't be more contributing to the organization. So talk about the modernization. I want to get kind of the next step for you because the next level for you is what? Because if this continues, you're going to start to see enterprises saying, oh, I can play in the cloud. I can use microservices. I can tap into that agility and scale of the cloud and leverage my resources and my investment I have now to compete, you just mentioned that. How is that going to work? Take us through that. And there's more in addition to that is also I can actually leverage the ecosystem, right? Because you're used to doing everything yourself but you're not going to win by doing everything yourself even if you made everything modern, right? You still need to use the ecosystem as well. But then at that stage what you can do and we're actually, we're seeing this as like our developers are not only the infrastructure folks but now all of a sudden our ISVs, app developers who are out there writing apps are able to actually put stuff into the infrastructure. So we actually had some IoT announcements this week where we have these industrial routers that are coming out and you can take an industrial router and put it into a police car. And because a police car has a dashboard camera, it has a wifi system, it has onboard computer tablets like all of this stuff, the officer has stuff, that's a mobile office and it has a gateway in it. Well now the gateway that we put in there does app hosting. It can host containerized applications. So then if you take a look at it, all the police cars that are moving around are basically hosting containerized apps. You have this kind of system and Cisco makes that. And then we have the gateway manager that does it and if you take a look at what does the gateway manager do, it has to manage all of those devices, you know? And then it can also deploy applications. So we have an ability to now manage, we also have an ability to deploy containers, pull back containers and then this also works in manufacturing, it works in utilities. So you have a substation, you have these industrial routers out there that can host apps, you know, then all of a sudden edge computing becomes real. But what this brings together is that now you can actually get ISVs who can actually now say, hey, I'm an app developer, I wanted to write an app. I have one that could be used in manufacturing. I could never do it before, but oh, there's this platform, now I can do it. And I don't have to start installing routers. Like, a Cisco partner will do it for a customer and I can just drop my app in. And it's, we're actually seeing that now. So basically what's happening in the Nirvana is, first of all, intelligent edge is actually possible. Yes. With having the power at the edge with APIs. But for the ISVs, they might have the domain expertise in saying, hey, I'm an expert on police, fire, public safety, vertical. Yes. But I could build the best app, but I don't need to do all this other stuff. Yes. So I can focus all my attention on this. Yes. The bottleneck was having that kind of compute and or edge device. Yes. Is that what you're kind of getting at?  They don't want to get into the business of deploying networks and like even managing and operating how that is. But there's a whole like kind of Cisco ecosystem that does that. Like we have a lot of people who will love to operationalize that system, deploy that, you know, kind of maintain it. And then there's IT and OT operators who are running that stuff, but the app developer can write their app, drop it into there, and then all of that can be taken care of. And we actually have two ISVs here with us, one in manufacturing, one in utilities who are, you know, DevNet ISV partners, they've written applications and they actually have real stories about this. And kind of what they had to say is, like in the manufacturing example, is okay, so they write, they have this innovation. I wrote this cool app for manufacturing, right? So there's something that it does. Building it, you know, they've gotten expertise in that. And then as they've been, they're doing something innovative. They actually need the end customer who does the manufacturer to use it and adopt a new technology. Well, hey, you know, I'm running my stuff. Why should I use that? How would I? So they actually work with a systems integrator like a channel partner that actually will customize the solution. But even that person may not have thought about edge computing. What can you do? What's this crazy idea you have? But now they've actually gotten trained up. They're getting trained up on our IoT technologies. They're getting trained up on how to operationalize it. And this guy just writes his app. He actually points them to the DevNet sandbox to learn about it. So he's like, no, let me show you how this edge processing thing works. Go use the DevNet sandbox. You can spin up your instance. You can see it working. Oh, look, there's these APIs. Let me show you. And it turns out they're using the sandbox to actually train the partners in the end customer about what this model is like. And then these guys are adopting it and they're getting paying customers through this. Did you start hunting for ISVs? Did they find you? How did that all transpire? It kind of happens in all different ways. So in some cases, yeah, yeah, it happens in all different ways. And basically in some cases like we actually sometimes have innovation centers and then you have kind of, as you know, the eye is the startup that's trying to figure out how to get their stuff seen. They show up, we look for it. In our case in Italy with the manufacturing company, then what happened was the government was actually investing and the government was actually giving tax subsidies for manufacturing plants to modernize. And so what they were doing was actually giving an incentive and then looking for these types of partners. So we actually teamed up with our country teams to find some of these and they have a great product. And then we started working with them. They actually already had an appreciation for Cisco because they, in their country, they did computer science in college. They might have done some networking with the Cisco Networking Academy, so they knew about it. But finally, it came that they could actually bring this ecosystem together. Well, Susan, congratulations on all your success. It's been great to be part of it in our way, but you and your team have done an amazing job. Great feedback on Twitter on the swag, at the arts, swag bags, getting a lot of attention, which is always a key important thing. But in general, super important initiative. Share some insight into how this has changed Cisco's executive view of the world because the cloud had horizontal scalability, but Cisco had it too. And now the new positioning, the new branding that Karen Walker and her team are putting out, the bridge to tomorrow, the future, is about almost a horizontally scalable Cisco. It's everywhere now. Yeah, the bridge to possible. The bridge to possible, yes. Yeah, well, I mean, really what happens is, there was a time when you're like, I'm going to buy my security. I'm going to buy my networking. I'm going to buy my data center. But really more and more, people just want an infrastructure that works, right? An infrastructure that's capable that can allow you to innovate. And really what happens when you think about how do you put all of these systems together? Because they are still individual and they need to be individual and best in class products. Well, the best way to put them together is with APIs. So it's not that you need to architect them all into one big product. It's actually better to have best in class, clearly to find the APIs and then allow this kind of modularity and to build it out. So really we've had tremendous support from Chuck Robbins, our CEO. And he's understood this vision and he's been helping kind of, like DevNet is a startup itself. Like he's been helping us navigate the waters to really make it happen. And as we moved and as he's evolved the organization, we've actually started to get more and more support from our executives and we're working across the team. So everything that we do is together with all the teams. And now what we're doing is we're co-launching products. Every time we launch a new product, we launch a new product with the product offer and the developer offer. So here we've launched the new IoT products. With APIs. With APIs and IOX and app hosting capabilities. And we launched them together with a new DevNet IoT developer center. At developer.sys.com slash IoT. And this is actually, if you take a look at the last say half year or year, our products have been launching. You'll see, oh, here's the new DNA center and here's the new DevNet developer center. Then we can say, here's the new kind of ACI and here's the new ACI developer center. Here's the new Meraki feature, here's the new ACI. And it's no secret that DNA center has over 600 people engineers in there. That public information might not be. But we've actually gotten in the mode in the understanding of, every product should have a developer offer because it's about the ecosystem. And we're getting tremendous support now. A lot of people ask me about Amazon web services because we're so close, we cover them deeply. And they always ask me, hey John, why is Amazon so successful? I go, well they've got a great management team and they've got a great business model. But it was built on APIs first. It was a web service framework. You guys have been very smart by betting on the API because that's where the growth is. So it's not about Amazon being the cloud, it's the fact that they build building blocks with APIs that grew. And so I think what you got here that's lightning in a bottle is, having an API strategy creates more connections, connections create more fabric, and then more data, it's just, it's a great growth vehicle. So congratulations. So is that your marketplace? Do you have a marketplace which is I guess SDKs and APIs and now as you have ISVs coming in, is that sort of in the plan? We do, no we do actually. So yeah, so basically when you're in this world, then you have your device, it's your phone. And then you have apps that you download and you get it from an app store. But when we're talking about the types of solutions we're talking about, there's infrastructure. There's infrastructure for, again, utilities companies, for police stations, for retail stores. And then you have ISV applications that can help in each of those domains. There's oftentimes a systems integrator that's putting something together for a customer. And so now kind of the app store for this type of thing actually involves our infrastructure products together with kind of, and infrastructure, ours am third party ones, ISV software that can be customized and have innovation in different ways together with that system integrator and we're training them all, people across that. But we actually have something called DevNet Exchange. And what we've done is there's actually two parts. There's code exchange, which is basically pointers out to source code that's out in GitHub. So we're just going out to code repos that are actually helping people get started with different products. But in addition, we have ecosystem exchange, which actually lists the ISV solutions that can be used as well as the systems integrators who can actually deliver solutions in these different domains. So DevNet ecosystem exchange is the place where we actually do list the ISVs with the SIs with the different platforms. So that's the app store for a programmable infrastructure. Susie, congratulations again. Thank you so much for including us in your DevNet zone with theCUBE here. Three days. Thank you for coming to us and for really helping us tell the story. It's a great story to tell and it's kicking butt and taking names as we say. Susie, we Senior Vice President and CTO of DevNet, making it happen just at the beginning, scratching the surface of the explosion of API based economies around the network, the network value, and certainly cloud and IoT. Of course, we're bringing you the edge of the network here with theCUBE. In Barcelona, we'll be back with more live coverage, day two after the short break.


Thank you for staying with us you're still watching the breakfast on plus TV Africa it's time to see what the national dailies are saying in today's headlines we're going to be looking at off the press but joining us to review the papers this morning is G.D. Johnson he's a chief lecturer Nigerian Institute of Journalism and he'll be joining us here in Lagos State good morning mr. Johnson thank you for joining us good morning good morning good morning happy new year to you hello sir yeah good morning good morning for having me and happy new year to all of us all over the world it's a pleasure to be with you again yes thank you so much all right let's go into the papers and today we'll be starting with the Guardian now there is a major headline that's screaming at everyone and it says EFCC probes NSIPA beneficiaries in alleged forex allocation abuse now we know that they've even actually freeze about 40 private accounts with these monies but I want to know what your thoughts are on this one NSIPA we've heard of how they have siphoned monies that are meant for projects but here EFCC is already probing them and trying to investigate in this matter what are your take what's your thoughts on this my my take is just very simple there are due diligence process before you take money out of public office the question your axis and how those that are meant to raise red flag or those that are meant to ensure that there is compliance with laydowns rule and procedure what did they do and how do people circumvent these processes and then why do we even have the economic financial crimes commission in the first place in it is to prevent that it's not about it's not about the investigation and prosecution after the crime has has happened it's it's also meant to to to ensure that this does not even happen in the first in the first instance and you know like like the EFCC like the spectrogener in the American system which is independent of any of the body that can look into the covers of any government agencies or even individual individual individual individual accounts to ensure that there are compliance with financial regulations and duty there and then our sensitivity will be insulted every day to suitcase if he's investigating investigating with and then they keep investigating and then we'll see the light of the day concerning the investigation and that will be swept under the carpet another person will comment another crime it will be investigated and our feelings will be will be assaulted with with both deadlines on pieces of newspaper to justify whether EFCC is doing something is not doing something but if it's for them to run after those that are committed financial crimes in terms of in terms of breaking the 419 code it's easier for them to do that it's easier for them to parade them it's easier for the EFCC man to say 95% of of university students are yow yow boys but it's not easy for him to say that 99.9% of the political class are corrupt so it's it's it's unfortunate you just wonder what what people have done to the commonwealth of this country you just wonder if we fully manage our resources where this country will be in the committee of nations unfortunate is it's when any anytime I see such a line and I see the brava do of EFCC and I see them trying to to to to to to to to portray themselves as walking in the interest of like I see them walking in against the interest of like that because in the first instance you are put in place to ensure that this does not happen why do you always allow this to happen is what I can't come to terms with yeah I think I think you raise some value valid points because I want to believe that if monies are being transferred to a certain account even before we get to this stage of stealing millions and billions the banks should actually be alerted they should see the fund sometimes you're just transferring about one million era and then they freeze your account for about maybe some minutes so if they're sending this huge chunks of money how come EFCC doesn't see that even before we get to the point of sending out billions from government Treasury fund from government Treasury so that is a that is a very value point but now let's circle it back to the fact that okay Nigerian students or people who are doing the yeah we are in quotes are being paraded by EFCC would you say that they probably protect the politicians and then does this even impact like affect the credibility of EFCC as a whole but what do you think the public perception of EFCC is the public perception of EFCC what do you think do people take EFCC as serious as it used to be when the president national security advisor was the chairman of EFCC the fear of EFCC is the beginning of wisdom for every political class then compare compare the vibrancy compare the actions of EFCC then with EFCC now you just wonder we are EFCC just for drug and then they do a lot of prosecution on the pages of newspaper without any account with respect to the prosecution of the investigations they've carried out now this is just one one this is just one one one one sector one sector of the hello sir company sector of the economy let's look at this you through their spotlight on transportation on what happened during transportation concerning the railway construction or the truth they are sport Nigerian goose you know more than multi multi agencies that you through their spotlight on and they come out with with their result you cry for this country I wonder how this country is still standing on his two feet with all of the bleeding and memory the country suffering from I just I just can't imagine I just as far as I'm concerned you asked me from our opinion how do I take EFCC I take EFCC as a serious organization because the common bit of EFCC is not to prosecute after the crime has been committed is to ensure that this does not happen and that the major reason why we enjoyed the forgiveness it was one of the condition that was given then by by the World Bank the IMF that the idea needs to put in place is system that for stall corruption that's why the fact that we have put that system in place and then you even have due process passed into law in 2006 I wonder why I can't remember this lady's name they call her mother and due process because she's parted over obi obi yeah obi is a quasi-legit now you can imagine that despite all the safety guard put in place in the any every operative every director including they should be ashamed of themselves they should because this can't be happening under your watch it can be happening like you said they have access to every account even if if there's if there's suspected movement of funding to my account or your own account before you say jack promise you the account is free once you come honestly and then people will be moving billions billions billions billions and yes it's not in any flag it's sad so that means the banks also are complicit because these they should report as well yes they do not report is it that the system is such a way that the banks themselves do not understand or the banks are culpable in what about corruption quote unquote is an organized crime network it's an organized crime network because you see there is a deed is he that is like a syndicate because it's not possible for you to even move the money into the banks to move the money out of the bank to move the money from from government account into into the banks and you move the money from from government account in the banks into your own bank or into private banks or you move the money outside of Nigeria you got the director that was suspended that said she moved the money because she suspected that the minister will use the money for something different and she has already spent some certain amount and I put my hand on my head how is this possible are these people talking about money or do people not even have any fear okay let's move to the political matters now as it is we go to river state for Baras ally we draw suit against 25 rivers lawmakers this just gives us the impression that the implementation of that agreement which Nigerians were crying over is is beginning we've seen he is who was legitimately given the mandate to be the speaker of the River State House of Assembly resigning and now he has become the chief of staff of the governor they suit against the people who left the party to another party that should have been removed from office according to the Constitution has been withdrawn so little by little the provisions of that agreement have been being implemented what does that say about the democracy of Nigeria and the rule of law and respect for the rule of law the fact that you conduct elections and you have periodic elections and then you have successions of government and then you have augusts of government collect controlled by elected or selected or read or judicia lean post and it does not mean that you you have a democracy democracy itself does not equate constitutional republic what you are talking about is a is having a constitutional republic when your democracy is not guided by the constitution of your land then you can call that democracy is is is no longer democracy as every republic is going by consumption but as far as I'm concerned it's only people that have bothered about the acts and the actions of these players and the diverse case shouldn't surprise anybody in the sense that you have a party that worked against his presidential candidate true and true and then work for the presidential candidate lead eventually won the election and then so in rivers rivers is neither PDP in PDP it's the actors and the players in rivers are all are all in tandem in good with the APC that's was the reality and the leader of the APC is the president and the president has called his members of his party put on quote based on my own interpretation of the events he has called them and they have gone to sign whatever agreement he has given them directive with respect to what they need to do and they are trying to implement that but even if anyone is thinking that well you abide by the constitution we comply with what the provisions of the concern is I think that we are just playing to the girl you be short that this year a lot of PDP members even gov. elect would become to APC as we are approaching 2027 we might likely have close to about 30 28 to 30 of the gov. in the APC that's the way the political class is if you study the trend you look at the trend in 2003 you look at the trend in 2007 and then you look at the trend in in 2014 so you begin to see and then you also look at the trend in 2019 if you remember into prior to 20 shortly after 2019 election the president minister of works the camp the former governor as governor of a Boeing state the governor of cross river state also become matawale to become so if you don't surprise anybody this the political class what they care about is not about you are nice about power is about power is about their interest and their interest is only served when they are in position of power if I begin to mention the names of those that were that were quote unquote in the spotlight in the last eight years that are not in any position of power actually the question we are the so without access to power they are insignificant so as a result of that the political class always look for ways and means to protect their own interest do you know whether in that agreement the governor has been assured of a second term that you will get the second term that you should don't worry will not be in picture it's you want the root of people and the shared with us they want the shared in the secret nobody seems to know anything about it because if you see when the fight started and our Nigerians of different divide what were taking sites in that fight if you take sites with the political class you just they are chameleon so they change the color of their skin according to whatever they are close to so for me I'm not surprised just grab your popcorn like I said that time I said grab your popcorn sit by the ring side don't put your stick in any in any of the ring just watch the the fight as it unfolds all right so there's a small headline here that says man that's the manufacturing association of Nigeria predicts challenging business year arches federal government to prioritize the manufacturing so the manufacturing institution of Nigeria has even said that there's a lean possibility of recovery in the third quarter however the first two quarters of the year would be quite challenging for Nigerians and now they are asking us to ensure that we prioritize manufacturing but we're seeing companies move away from Nigeria so their companies like the Jubilee syringe company now that he's moving away we also have JSK that has moved away as well we're seeing all of these manufacturing companies leaving Nigeria how can we start to prioritize manufacturing and not just you know put all our eggs in one basket off the crude we're investing in power serious investment in power if you want to run a business even as an SME you understand the override cost that you incur as a result of power the money is spent on energy and then these companies we want they don't have the national grid keep collapsing and the prices of petroleum products PMS and diesel keeps keeps rising so and what we're up on at the end of the day they had to we had to add that to their production cost and production cost will lead to expensive goods and services and invariably these goods and services cannot compete with cheaper is even cheaper for you to import these things to come and sell it in Nigeria and for you to produce it in Nigeria that's why these companies are leaving so it's important for government to prioritize that because we don't go a manufacturing sector it is the growth of a manufacturing sector that strengthens the Naira because we some we save a lot of money we use for foreign exchange because we don't have to import most of the things that we need but here even food we are importing food so once you make serious investment in the agricultural sector you are food sufficient and you make available power your industry begins to grow and as your industry begins to grow the economy begins to boom and as economy is booming the strength of your Naira keeps improving comparable to the dollar the cost of living is reduced the standard of living is improved and then the economy becomes it's it's it's the ABC of economics is the ABC of economics but we keep saying it over and over and over again there are three value chains there are three value chains and I've said it what government needs to do is to adopt this model if you see that the model has worked in one sector adopt that model in other sector the model of completely is in off total control over the telecom sector happened in 2001 and you see what has happened to the telecom sector now why can't we bring that entire the entirety of that model to the power sector so that the power sector can power economy if you don't power the manufacturing sector your economy can never be powered so you have the the genco's the T-Schools and the Disco's it's only the Disco's that have been completely liberalized there's a need for government to hands off the genco's and the Disco's let private individual and the amendment made by the Naira assembly has given back let private individual make investment in the energy sector once we get the energy sector right I can assure you that even the food we produce in the farm there are cultural products we produce but we can preserve it we can process it and we can we can we can export it if you don't process it will not in the way so it is processing you need to add additional value to it when you have scaled the value it makes it easier for you to to to escort to escort to to to to to other to other countries and then you make money from it and it makes it easier for you to move the goods to the length and breadth of this country so it's it's not rocket science it's not it's not rocket science but if you look at all this money that they are stealing all this money that they about the allegedly accused people of stealing from from government you'll be shitting your head that if only we have invested this money in the power sector if only we have invested this money in making sure that we have good transportation system we have good road network between I can go to buy extra go to buy extra now I've missed them I've missed I've missed free fish and come and sell it package it and come and sell it in the girls and come and sell it in the girls sell it sell it in no go sell it in sell it in in a kitty and the rest and the rest and the rest of it are usually waterways so it's it's it's not rocket science but is there the political way to do that are those going to public office interested in building legacies or they are interested in building mansions for themselves mansions that will not last okay let's move to the punch newspaper I'm not starting with the leading headline I'm starting with a smaller headline at the top of punch newspaper customs generate 3 trillion Naira I 5 trillion Naira in 2024 it gives me concern I don't know how how it works anyway but when customs is a higher revenue every year they want to get higher and higher revenue does that not affect the climate the business climate of a country because things to be cleared at the borders things to be cleared from the wharf and all that keep getting higher and higher and they charge in dollars in most cases so is that not a problem for business in Nigeria can we try that kind of a decision where customs are expected to generate more and more money it tells you the focus the direction with which government business has been done that the focus on revenue generation it's not about growing the revenue generation from foreign foreign exchange and in true imports into your country government is not even trying to look at money that it can generate from export of goods and service outside of the country so it tells you the focus when your custom is meant to protect your local businesses and when the focus of that custom the central focus becomes revenue generation it tells you what is really wrong with with with your with your with your economic model of building your economy it tells you what has been wrong not with this person at this time but what has been wrong because the focus has been on generating more revenue from from the last the last eight nine years the the the head of custom always try themselves at the beginning of the year they usually give us figures figures and about what they've generated and on it keeps increasing yearly the question you ask where does this revenue grow to what were these revenue used for who validated the claims of what cost should we have come from custom or should we have come from the accountant general of the federation but surely have come from the minister of finance in a in a regular briefing providing us with a brief but we have the situation in idea we have had every agency revenue generating agency works independent of one another and there is no coordination with respect to if our rest will come they will give you the on figure and MP will come they will give you the on figure and the customers come now to give you the figure that of NNPC you don't even know the figure of NNPC they won't even give you anything so you wonder what does ministry of finance what does what do they do what does what does what does minister of finance what does it do with respect to coordinating ensuring that every money that is generated goes into the national treasury but was that not the aim of the single treasury account but is that is that do you believe that works all the you truly believe that works you talk about a single treasury account you saw them they saw the money for the SIP and then the the director the suspended director said I move the money from one account to another account how many ministries have single treasury you see there are so many political statements made on that under various administration there are so many policy statement that were not fully implemented for a fact and the system exploited them the let me put it them quote-unquote the laid-back approach of the president in terms of not seem to be interested in interfering once he has appointed you into office you believe you have the capacity to do whatever you want to do and it was a free it was a free for all approach under that particular administration that everybody does exploited that loop or that anything of command and structure in the presidency with respect to vaccine what was going on the minister of finance as well as I'm concerned here this is bordering and what you should have done is to have invited in the insta-finance and to them to come and account for some of the things we're not seeing then publish it on the pages of newspaper and doing media trial but those that have missed manage the commonwealth of this nation to be heard accounting if you have made the minister of finance for example in this president administration you have the minister of finance and the coordinating me has been made the coordinating minister of the economy I hope mr. Walidon will leave to that we quote beyond the coordination what we have lacked is coordination and organization of how resources are sourced are generated and how these resources are kept and how these resources are disbursed all right that's how we have to wrap it up on this segment thank you so much for joining us mr. Johnson thank you for reviewing the papers with us this morning this is a pleasure to start this the first Friday of the year listening to your beautiful voice thank you and I'm looking forward to that but because I want to be that no problem no problem we got you covered all right we've been seeking to mr.
