Hello, and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad and this session we would look at CPA exam questions that deal specifically with audit sampling. This topic is covered obviously on the auditing section of the CPA exam, as well as in an auditing course. This topic gives students a lot of headaches. One, it's maybe they don't have a good statistical background. They don't like the math part of it, or they don't simply they don't understand it or the teacher doesn't do a good job explaining it. So I hope through these questions, I get shed some lights. But if you want more explanations in detailed explanation, introductory explanation about this topic, I strongly suggest you check out my website, my auditing and attestation course. I have over 160 lessons, which is four or five lessons that deal with this audit sampling. As always, I would like to remind you to connect with me on LinkedIn if you haven't done so. YouTube is where you would need to subscribe. I have 1,700 plus accounting, auditing, tax, finance, as well as Excel tutorial. If you like my lessons, if you like my lectures, please like them, share them. Put them in playlist. If they benefit you, it means they might benefit other people as well. Share the wealth, subscribe and connect with me on Instagram. As I just stated on my website, farhatlectures.com, I do have a full pledged auditing course that will help you with this topic as well as many other topics, but specifically with sampling and I can assure you my sampling lessons are very, very good. So I strongly suggest you check it out if you really want to learn it. Okay. And don't shortchange yourself. I can help you add 10 to 15 points to your CPA exam. Check out my website. So what I will be doing is looking at, you know, a few questions. And those questions are important. I would not say their basics. You have to understand sampling. You have to understand audit sampling. You cannot walk into the exam, the audit section without really have a good understanding because they can pause, pose the questions in so many different ways. You have to have a good understanding of it. Let's go ahead and get started to see how much we know, how much we don't know, then take it from there. An auditor is sampling for attributes. As soon as you hear the word attribute, it means they're sampling for the internal control. That's good. Which of the following is correct regarding the sample size when the auditor determined that the expected rate is different from the originally expected. So when we sample for attribute, what is sampling for attribute? For example, we want to make sure that all the checks are signed by an authorized person. If all the checks are signed by an authorized person, it means the internal control are good. All what we're looking for is attributes. Are they signed by the authorized person? Yes or no, attribute. So before we start to check the checks, whether they are properly, the person that signed them is properly authorized, we set an expectation error rate. We think, for example, there's a chance that 2% are not signed. We expect that 2% of the checks are not signed. Then we're going to go ahead and select a sample of checks. Then we find out it's either 1% or 5%. So something other than the originally expected, the expected was 2%. We expect that 2%, but eventually we're going to find out whether it's 2, 1, or 5. So what happened when we have that deviation? What happened to the sample size? Let's see. If the expected rate has risen, the sample size would reduce. Well, if we increase our expected error rate, we started with 2, and now we think we're going to have more. In other words, we're going to have might have 3. Now we're going to increase in our expected rate. What do we do? Do we reduce the sample size? And the answer is no. If we expect to have more deviation, in other words, more people signing the checks who are not authorized, we're going to increase the sample size. And the reason is because we have more risk. We have to select more because the internal control are not working as we expected. So A is out. B, if the expected error rate has fallen, now we thought it's 2, but guess what? I think it's 1. Now we're looking at it. It's really 1. The sample size will increase? No. The sample size will go down. If we think it was 2%, and now we're finding out it should be 1% or even 0%, all the checks are properly signed, then we should not increase the sample size because the sample size means we have to do more work. If we can rely under control, that's the reason we test the controllers to rely or not to rely. If we think we can rely, we reduce the sample size so B is out. So if A and B are out, I can take out the immediately. If the expected rate has risen, obviously C must be the answer, the sample size will be increased. And the answer is yes. If I find out the expected rate should be higher than 2%, now I started to look at these things, then guess what? To compensate, I have to increase my sample size. Therefore, the answer is C. Let's take a look at this question. The sample rate of deviation plus the allowance sampling risk equal to what? So basically here, they're asking you, do you know even the basic terminology that we use? And it's very important to understand the basic terminology. So what is the sample rate of deviation here? We're looking at the deviation rate. It's a percentage. So we pulled 100 checks and we're looking, let's work with the same example. So we pulled 100 checks. And let's assume we're looking for the signature. The authorized people are the authorized people signing those checks. And we find out 4 were not signed the check. So 4 out of 100 is 4%. So the sample, notice the sample rate of deviation is 4%. So from this sample, we have a deviation of 4%. But remember, this is only a sample. So what does that mean? Think of when we have those polls for politicians, the president's approval rate. They would say the president's approval rate is 39% plus or minus 2%. So it could be 37%. It could be 41% because we sampled. Same thing would be when we sample for the internal control because we sampled, there could be more issues, more problems. So we add to the sampling deviation rate and allowance risk. Let's assume the allowance risk is 3%. So what is this sampling deviation rate? 3% plus the allowance for sampling risk. So the allowance is basically we're saying since we are sampling, there's always the risk of we did not collect the proper sampling size or the sampling population. Let's add 3%. So 7 plus 3 equal to 7%. What do we call the 7% we call the 7% the upper deviation rate. So the upper deviation rate is how much we think we how much we can deviate. How much we think the sample size has a deviation, upper deviation rate. So we could have up to 7% based on our sampling size plus the allowance risk. This is the upper deviation rate. Now, what about the tolerable deviation rate? Now this is important. What's the tolerable deviation rate? The tolerable deviation rate is how much we can tolerate, how much we can tolerate before we say we cannot rely on this on the control. So let's assume the tolerable, the tolerable deviation rate is 5%. If we could, we could only tolerate 5, then guess what? Then we, in those circumstances we don't rely on the control because we can tolerate 5 and the upper deviation is 7. Now, let's assume our tolerable deviation rate for this we can tolerate up to 9%. Well, if we can tolerate 9%, the upper deviation rate we expected to be 7, then we would rely on the control. And we'll work an example later on in the session with numbers, but this is what we're saying here. So the sampling deviation rate, the 4% plus the 3% the allowance for risk is equal to the upper deviation rate. So we have to know those terminology in heart and we have to know how they all interact with each other because they could give you a problem, simple problem, but if you don't have a basic understanding, you won't be able to get it right. The likelihood of assessing control risk too high relates to what? Now, do you understand what does it mean assessing control risk too high? Assessing control risk too high, it means I'm not going to rely on the control because their control risk is too high. They don't have a good internal control. That's what it means. The likelihood of assessing, remember we assess control risk. What is that going to do? That's going to relate to the effectiveness of the audit or is it to the efficiency of the audit? Let's walk through this logically. What happened if you think the control risk is high? The control risk is high. You are not going to rely on the control. What does that mean? It means you're going to do more substantive testing. It means you're going to increase your sample. You're going to do more work. You're going to audit more transaction. You're going to do more work. Well, what is that going to relate to? If you assess control risk too high, is it going to relate to the effectiveness of the control or to the efficiency of the control? Well, if you do more work, if you do more work because the internal, you think the control risk is too high, that's going to affect the efficiency of the audit. It means you're doing more work. Maybe you don't have to do more work, but it relates to the efficiency. Now let's assume why it's not effectiveness because if you do more work, you're going to be effective. The more work you do, the more effective you are because you're looking at more samples. That's good. So it doesn't relate to your effectiveness. It relates to your efficiency. You're doing more work. Maybe you're not supposed to do more work because you assess the control risk too high. If you assess the control risk too high by mistake, you are less efficient. Therefore, the answer is B. You are still effective. Why? If you do more work, you're definitely effective because you're trying to catch everything you can catch. Which of the following illustrate the concept of sampling risk? So simply put, do you know what sampling risk is? That's what they're asking. Now, they can ask these questions in so many different ways. Let's take a look at what we mean by this question in this context. One, a randomly chosen sample may not be representative of the population on a whole on a characteristic of interest. Well, look, this looks like a sampling risk definition. So I would say I will keep A, I will take out B, I will keep C, take out D. So what is sampling risk? I always like to give this example because it relates as a student, it's going to relate to you very well. Now, let's assume I have a class of 100 students. I don't have classes that large, but let's assume I do have class that large. And let's assume I have 100 students and I have 10 rows. Okay, 10 rows in my class and each row will have 10 students. And here's what happened. If I ask the first row about their accounting major, what's their major? I'll just ask the students to give me their major at the first row. And in this row, 6 out of 10 students, they say their major is accounting. Well, I would conclude, I will go ahead and conclude that 60%, 6 out of 10 is 60, 60% of the students in my class, which is, let's assume this is a finite to be more specific. Let's make it a little bit more realistic. This is a financial accounting course. Financial accounting means everybody takes this course, marketing students, finance students, economics, business students, management, everyone. So if I sample the first row and I found out 6 out of 10 students are accounting, let's assume I also sample the first and the second row. And in the second row, I also had 6 out of 10 students are accounting major. And I conclude, you know what? 60% of this class is accounting major. It's a problem. Why? I'll tell you why. Because accounting students, because that's their major, they're most likely to sit in the front, to sit in the front. Therefore, when I select it from the front, my sample is biased because most likely the accounting students sits in the front. So what I need to do, I need to select from all over the room, then basically make a decision based on my sampling. But if I select from the front, I could have a sampling risk. It means my randomly chosen sample may not be representative of the whole classroom because people that sit in the front, if they're more likely accounting students, maybe they like me. That's why they sit in the front. They want to be physically close to their teachers. They want to make sure that the teacher sees them, that they're paying attention. It doesn't matter. The point is you got the point that there's a sampling risk up front. OK, so A is definitely there. Two, an auditor may select an audit procedure that are appropriate to achieve the specific objective. Is this called a sampling risk? Now, here you are using the wrong procedure. It has nothing to do with the sampling. You did not perform the procedure properly. It has nothing to do with whether you selected the right or the wrong sample. So two is not sampling risk. Two is you're just simply selecting the wrong procedure. OK, so obviously the answer is A, we can take out C. Let's look at this question. In this question, it involves a lot and I keep it for last because you have to have a good understanding of what we're doing. So let's take a look at this question. An auditor had identified a control activity that will reduce the assessment of control risk if it's operating effectively and efficiently. That's excellent. That's why we assess control risk to see if it's working effectively and efficiently, then we can rely on the control. The auditor has decided to perform sample for attribute. That's what you do. You sample for attribute for internal control. The auditor believed that the actual error of this activity is two percent. OK, so let's look at this. Expected, they expect two percent. They expect the actual error to be two percent, but they can tolerate five percent. So they expect two, they can tolerate five. The auditor want to reduce sampling risk to a ten percent. Now, there is the sampling risk here. It means what is the chance that we are taking with this sampling procedure? Ten percent. So we can take a chance of a ten percent that we are being wrong in this procedure. So sampling risk is ten percent. It means there's a 90 percent chance we are correct. The appropriate sample size is determined and selected. So now we selected the appropriate sample size and an error of three percent is discovered. Now, the actual error, after we sampled, the actual error was three percent. Remember, we expected two, the actual was three. The chart is examined that indicate the upper deviation rate is six point four. OK, now, again, here we have to understand the how we come up with the upper deviation rate. The upper deviation rate is based on the sampling risk and we use tables. Here they're giving you the upper deviation rate. The upper deviation rate equal to six point four percent. Which of the following statement is correct? So we have a lot. They could ask you a lot of questions about this topic. Let's focus on one thing at a time. The allowance for sampling risk equal to three point four percent. Is this statement correct? Is this statement correct? OK, and I hope you remember from earlier that it is correct. Let's go back to earlier. Let's go back to the earlier question. Remember, the first or the second question here, we ask you about this. Oops, sorry. OK, let me clear this. Let me clear this so we can see this. The sample deviation rate plus the allowance equal to the upper deviation rate. OK, what did we have in this problem? In this problem, we had the sampling rate of deviation, which was three percent. They told us the upper deviation rate from the table when we looked up the upper deviation rate from the table equal to six point four. Well, the sample rate of deviation when we sampled is three percent. Well, this must be the plug, which is three point four. The allowance for sampling risk equal to three point four. Therefore, that one is correct. So the first one is correct. So I'm going to keep one, take out B, keep C, take out D. So that's correct. So the allowance for sampling risk is three point four. Two, the auditor should determine that the control is working effectively and reduce control risk since the sample rate is three percent below the tolerable rate of five percent. OK, now what they're saying in number two is the auditor should conclude that the that the control is working effectively and reduce the control risk since the sample rate, which is the actual sample rate is three percent is below the tolerable rate of five percent. Is this how you make your decision? Is this how you make your decision? And the answer is no, that's not how you make your decision. How do you make your decision? You would look at the upper deviation rate and you compare this to the tolerable rate. I can tolerate five percent, but I could have six point four. No, I'm not going to rely. Why? Because the upper deviation rate could be higher than the tolerable rate. I can only tolerate five percent. So we don't rely. Don't rely under those numbers. Therefore, two is out. So we don't determine that the control is working effectively and we're not going to reduce the internal control. We're not going to reduce the control risk. Therefore, C is out. If the upper deviation rate from, you know, from the table here, from the table here was four percent, then we would have accept that number two will be correct. So we would compare the upper deviation rate, which is six, six point four percent to the tolerable rate, and therefore we don't rely. I know this is a lot of information. I totally understand this. There's a lot of information here that you need to absorb. That's why you will need to go to my auditing course and learn about sampling from A to Z, from A to Z with examples, with practice. So you have a good understanding. And when you walk into the exam day, sampling will be a good question for you to get. Why? And definitely you're going to get sampling. There is no way you're not going to get sampling. Why? Because you are confident and you can show them through the answers. As always, I would like to remind you to like this recording, subscribe, check out my website. If you want to add 10 to 15 points to your CPA exam, this is a long-term investment in your lifetime. Don't shortchange yourself and stay safe, especially during those coronavirus days. Good luck.

How does the narcissist feel once you are no longer confused about what you are dealing with? Once you no longer desire to be around them. How do they feel once you have rebuilt your qualities, talents and positive traits? How do they feel once you have developed a successful career? Or met someone who gives you the love and care that they always talked about but never followed up with action? I am talking about your personal development, which is probably what you were looking to accomplish even before you met the narcissist. You already desired to build your qualities, talents and positive traits. You already desired to build a successful career or meet an ideal relationship partner. When you met the narcissist, this is when those qualities, talents and positive traits began to depreciate. Everything good about you began to strip away. The reason for this is because narcissists feed off your energy and capabilities.  They are emotionally immature. They do not self reflect or lock within. They do not accept responsibility or accountability for anything that they do. So in their minds it's your fault for not being up to the standard that they expect from you. Remember they have a sense of entitlement and arrogance. Also nothing can satisfy or fulfill them anyway. They are like buckets with a leak. Anything you put into them will just leak out. Nothing could ever sustain them.  Now that they have used up all of your resources, everything that you had to offer, you are seen as trash.  You don't need it, it's trash. You've ate the food, used it up to replenish yourself. That's how the narcissist sees you at this point. They have used up everything that you had to offer, used all of your qualities, talents and positive traits, your positive energy and at this point all that's left is the empty packaging. They don't need you anymore. This is when they will discard the empty packaging. They will discard you. After they have used up all of your resources and taken your energy, you would assume that they have something to offer you in return. They have something to give back. This is when the narcissist disappears and idealizes someone else who has fresh resources and energy. So they can do the same thing all over again. They do not appreciate anything that you gave them. They do not appreciate anything that you have done for them. They are ungrateful and have taken you for granted. The very things that they were so desperately seeking from you are the very things that they never give back. Your attention, validation, approval and admiration. They never attend to you. They never validate or approve of you. They never admire you. They never replenish your energy. The reason for this is because they can't even if they wanted to. You can't really provide those things until your own cup is full and the problem with the narcissist is no matter how much you pour into them, it's never enough. It never sustains them. They cannot experience satisfaction or fulfillment. That's why they are stuck in this endless chase going from one thing to the next, trying to get whatever they can out of the situation. They are self-absorbed and lack empathy because their cup can never be full. So they are basically stuck in an endless cycle where they run from one individual to the next trying to obtain whatever energy, whatever attention, validation, approval and admiration they can get in that moment and once that person is used up and has nothing left to give they are on to the next person. If there was a perfect human being they wouldn't be able to satisfy or fulfill these narcissists. No matter what you give or how much you give, it will never sustain them. You can try but you will be destroyed in the process and this is likely what you have experienced. The narcissist almost destroyed you. You are no longer able to provide them with the same standard they were accustomed to in the beginning. This is when the narcissist will leave you at the lowest point in your life, sometimes even suicidal or dead. In many situations you are left with nothing, you have been stripped away of all of your qualities, talents and positive traits. Your positive vibe or energy has been completely depleted. They may have targeted you financially, your job, family members and friends. Many victims of narcissistic abuse lose everything. Some even end up homeless, in a mental hospital, prison or even dead.  You are able to motivate yourself from within. You can start achieving and obtaining all over again. You can start smiling and experiencing happiness. This soon becomes a problem for the narcissist. It confirms that they are not the people they said they were. They are not the grandiose people that they made themselves out to be once you have moved on and done better without them. It becomes indeniable of who was really about anything.  All the while making you believe that you weren't about any of that, you weren't good enough or something was wrong with you. But then you leave and do better without them. They mirrored you, appealed to your own ideals. You thought they were really about that.  Remember all of those things they told you were developing time? All of those plans or dreams for the future? What happened to all of that?  They were good at manipulating you. But they didn't even have the capabilities to manifest what you want. They played this game with you to secure you as a source of supply. Making you believe that they had what you want. They had the capabilities to manifest everything you desired. Maybe in their little fantasies in their mind they did. But none of that ever actualises with them. Because they don't even have the belief. They don't even believe in themselves. So the best you will ever get from them is an illusion. But then you leave them and move on. And start doing better without them. You start doing all of the things they talked about on your own. After they had devalued, degraded, publicly humiliated and exploited you. As though you were nothing. Worthless and insignificant once you have moved on. It really becomes indeniable that all of this was just projection.  All that time that they were around you. Feeding off your energy and you were struggling to find happiness. Struggling to find satisfaction or fulfilment in your life. And then you move on. And all of this comes together. It really proves to everyone that you are not the problem in that situation. It really becomes indeniable at that point. All of those devaluing comments and backhanded compliments they said about you. It really was just a projection. All along they tried to make you believe that you are not good enough for them. Or something was wrong with you. They tried to get you to believe that you're not about anything. Then they would tell you things or create illusions. To display a false sense of superiority over you. But once you've moved on. And you see through those illusions. You can see that nothing ever actualized with them. They weren't about anything. And yet you have moved on. And manifested everything that you always talked about. It becomes indeniable proof that they are the ones that are not good enough. They are the ones that aren't about anything. And that's why nothing great ever manifested while you were around them. When you move on and start to achieve success and happiness. It confirms that they were holding you back. Preventing you from achieving your true potential. They were weighing you down. This causes a huge narcissistic injury. Which can often ripple to all of the narcissists around them too. Because they had to criticize or devalue you. To make themselves feel better. Because they were insecure and felt envious and jealous towards you. They had to make you believe as though you were not good enough for them. Or something was not right with you. But then you move on and do better without them. So it proves that they are the ones that were not good enough for you. It destroys the false narrative. That they had created in their minds. About them being these amazing people. And all of their coping and defense mechanisms. Which they heavily depend on. To regulate their feelings of envy and jealousy. They had this defense mechanism of acting as though they are so great and you are nothing. So the more that they have to watch you progress. And become successful in every aspect of your life. It really gets to them. If you can move on and be happier and more successful without them. It really confirms who was the problem in that situation. Once you have done this. They get really mad. They get really envious and jealous. They are forced to accept that all along they were the defective ones. They were not good enough for you.  Although they will be hateful, angry, envious and jealous. They might still try to hoover you. But this isn't to try and make things right. They will only come back to make you believe that you are not doing good without them. You are not happy without them. And if you entertain this belief the cycle world will repeat itself. They will have an opportunity to destroy everything that you have built since leaving them. So please keep this in mind. Remember all these narcissists do is destroy. They use up everything you have to offer and then leave you with nothing. They will come back just to try and prove to you that you are not happy or what you are doing is not that great. They don't really believe that. It's just a defense mechanism and their way of dealing with their intense feelings of envy and jealousy. So to conclude this video. How does the narcissist feel once you've moved on? They feel inferior. They feel worthless and insignificant. They feel hatred, anger, envy and jealousy towards you and anything that you have achieved or obtained. Thank you for watching. I hope this video has resonated with you.

What's going on? This is going to be a live LIBE. We're going to run live. I told you guys for the next 10 days, I'm going to run live every single Monday through Friday and I listen up, man. Some people got to pay 10, 20 grand for this kind of training.  By the way, don't just listen to this.  I promise you this is the reason why. We're in the era of the worst salesman in the history of time. Now check this out. I'm going to go over something. It's called the low barrier of entry. Dude, listen to me. This right here. I don't know if you've thought about this in a while, but just back up for a minute and I'm going to talk about the automotive space for just a second. So this is a training that I call low barrier of entry. I want you to think about this. Is, is this a profession for your salespeople or a hobby? Write this down. Is this a profession for your salespeople or a hobby? So if I'm a general manager right now and I have a team, right? I want you to think the top 20% of the floor is producing. The bottom 80 isn't and people are like, Oh man, it's just all people. It's this and that. No, it's not. It's the onboarding. It's the way that the leadership does the training in the store. Let me explain. Leaders raise the bar. Leaders set the standards. Leaders hold the example for the company. Now listen up. If you're a salesperson, I need you to understand this.  So is this a profession for your salespeople or is it a hobby? You decide. So I'm going to go over a doctor for a second. A doctor goes to school for seven years, right? Seven years. They pay the price. Dreams come with the price.   They go through the 60 grand a year, just got out of seven years of school. Now you're making 60, 80 grand a year. And guess what happens to hopefully earn 300 to 400 grand a year? Notice I said hopefully. And by the way, that three to 400 grand a year, that's after 10 years. How much skin they got in the game? OK, $250,000 minimum in student loans that they have to pay back. Plus continued education along the entire way to be a doctor. Lastly, they're invested with time and money. This is a big deal. So I'm going to ask you a question. If you're in the automotive space, what is the earning potential? What is the earning opportunity in the automotive space? Leaders, wake up. Your guys can make that kind of money in the automotive space. Think about it. But are they trained? Are they professionals? Are all of them? Are they amateurs? Dude, it's amateur hour out there everywhere. So my question is, look at this over here. For a salesperson, 99% of all the dealerships in the world, when they hire somebody and they on board them, you get one week of training. If you're lucky one week, then we put them on the floor. They go to work. The salespeople take the dealership for granted. You ever see how every day we're babysitting them instead of leading them? You think these doctors need to be led? Dude, no, they've got skin in the game. They paid their own money. They paid their own price. They paid with their own sweat equity to be where they're at. They understand the cost of entry. Look, the earning opportunity and the potential is massive.  That's what these guys should be saying. But I watch salespeople all around the store sitting in cubicles. Don't care. They literally go to work. They work 20 hours or by about 20 days a month, 20 days. They work 10 hours a day. They're working 200 hours a month and they literally sell for 50 hours. And the other 150, they don't do nothing. You know why? They don't have any skin in the game.   I hear every day of salespeople that invest out of their own pocket to self-improve, to level up, to go to another gear that want to make more money, that want to educate themselves to be the best. You know what I hear? Look at this. GMs and managers all around the country saying, dude, don't spend your money on that.  Dude, don't do that. But if your team will go to the lake and drink beer for the weekend, let's have a good time, man. You want to know why we're in the air of the worst salesman in the history of time? It's because of all the leaders. It's because of all the leaders, automotive people like myself, uneducated, who want an opportunity and who are hungry, have gotten the business and we've grinded. And now these people, this technology out there, what took us 20 years to do, guys can get on and learn it in 10% of the time. But you're saying, no, don't do that. You don't have to do that. Just work hard, dude, you're out of tune. And you wonder why your team's burned out. You wonder why they don't have reliable success. With this market shift that's coming up right now, there's more people thinking about looking at other opportunities than ever before because they're confused. Why? Because the last two years, they got the results that they've always wanted and they did 20% of the work. The market was up three times what it's ever been. And now that it's correct and back down and it's going to be a hard correction come soon, just wait. So you ain't seen it yet. Whatever you think you're seeing and you're calling a market shift. It's truly not the market shift. Wait until cars drive off the lot and go back to 50%. Wait till that day two. Just wait. And if you don't think it can happen, you're dumb. In 2008, I went from selling 300 cars a month as a manager to selling 30 cars overnight when the market crashed.   So what I'd like my leaders to do, if you're watching this, my cell phone number, I'm going to write this down. Look at this,<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you're watching this, I'm going to give you a free demo. If you like it, I'll give you the training for for for 10 days with your team. I'll let your team team go through the training, check it out. And I guarantee within 10 days, I'll freaking double your team skill just like that. Hell, I'll even triple it and I'll launch your team myself.  They could leave you. They're recruitable. And I don't care what you say. Those top 20% of the board right now, a lot of managers didn't build them. Dude, they're self-motivated. They're driven and they're hungry and they have hard work ethic. But even their skill isn't great. And you know what? When a guy calls across the street tomorrow and says, hey, come over here, man, I'll give you a 10 grand sign on bonus and I'll give you 5% more, they may leave you. OK, so you better get ready as leaders to build an unrecruitable sales team. By the way, if you're looking at this video right now and you're getting defensive and you're like, man, what the hell is this guy talking about?  You just checked yourself. Good job. But if you're watching this and you're like, dude, that makes sense.  I see why everything they say and make sense. My guys don't have any skin in the game. Well, I'm going to give you yet another opportunity to fix it. And by the way, you don't have to do nothing. Let me do the work. OK, my cell phone is<PHONE_NUMBER>.  Cells closing negotiations, overcoming objections, branding and marketing, follow up, sending videos, phone skills, all of it, dude. You want to set them up on it? I'll give you 10 days for free and I'll launch your team.  I want you to think about one last thing. I wrote two things on the board. Get rich overnight or get rich for sure. What do you want to do? You want to try to get rich overnight? Some of you in the last two years you made more than ever. How did it feel? Felt good. This market ain't coming back. It's already gone. So right now I would be going after the get rich for sure. You know what that is? Build undeniably the best sales team in the world. That's it. An individual can be beat, but a team can't be beat.  OK, cool.  You just remember that a team will always win. Just remember that. So I would love to help you build your team. My number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Just shoot me a text. I'll call you myself. Love you guys. Live training for the week. Let your sales team watch this.  Let's destroy the weekend. See you guys soon.


One of the most important aspects of self-awareness for leaders is to understand not only how our actions are perceived by those we lead, but also how our communication style is understood. Put simply, how do you sound to your people? We subconsciously infer a great deal from tone, pace, inflection, and volume that our leaders use when speaking. Disregarding the actual words being spoken, there is much to be conveyed through examining the delivery. How we speak and communicate is an often ignored tool that leaders should consider. The leader who continually communicates in breathless and hurried tones and seems always on the edge of a crisis can exhaust and inoculate his people against true urgency. The deadpan emotionalist communicator is equally as perplexing as her people search for parties, passion, or even a pulse. Of course, both of these extremes and the range of communication styles in between can be used to great effect at the right time and under the right circumstances. It is up to the leaders to be deliberate in matching our communication style with the context and purpose of the information being conveyed. Lead well this week.


Bella Tinnable suspends fuel subsidy as he takes oath of office and is sworn in as Nigeria's 16th president, where former president Bahari returns to Gaurav. This is our inauguration day special, cross-credits, I am very happy. After a grueling electioneering process that spanned months, Nigeria now has a new president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces who will steer the ship of the country for the next four years. The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Lukayadeh Ariwala administered the oath of office to Tinnable and his deputy Kishim Shetema at exactly 10.28 and 10.38 a.m. respectively. African leaders who witnessed the historic event at the very beautifully decorated with the green, white, green colors of the nation were the Prime Minister of Gabon, Bili Bhai Nze, President of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, Alessane Uttara, Ghanaian President Nanakufuadu and Rwandan President Paul Kagame. While with rising unemployment, soaring inflation, wobbling forex exchange rates, worsening in security among others, Nigeria, well over 200 million Nigerians expect a lot from President Tinnable. Now he did say that subsidy is gone. He exclaimed this during his inaugural address at the Eagle Square in Abuja shortly after he was sworn in as the 16th president of the country. The president said there was no provision for subsidy in the national budget from June of 2023 and therefore it stands removed. Tinnable who based his campaign on an 18-page manifesto which highlights an eight-point agenda promised to be fair to all Nigerians. Bola, how much, Tinnable, do something and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria that as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria I will recharge my duties and perform my functions honestly to the best of my ability and faithfully in accordance with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law that we abide by the code of conduct containing the fifth schedule to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions that I will preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. So, let me go. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please round of applause for the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, his Excellency President Bola Ame Tinnable, as he takes his oath of office and signs the dotted line. Administration, women are used with picture prominently. They will continue to take pro-active steps such as championing a credit portion to discourage corruption while strengthening the effective efficiency of anti-corruption agency. Security shall be top priority of our administration because neither prosperity nor justice are prepared and made in security and violence. This architecture is personal and it means more I provide, accomplish all of this. I take the following budgetary reform, simulating the economy with inflation. Industrial policy will to utilize the poor, massive manufacturing. Well, those are the words of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ame Tinnable. Joining us to discuss on this inaugural day is Biyadu Shomi, a veteran journalist and a public affairs analyst. Also joining us is Dennis Amakere, former assistant director of the DSS and also joining us is Reverend Joseph Hayab, who is of the Kadunak Christian Association of Nigeria. Thank you so much, gentlemen, for joining us and good evening. Happy inauguration day. Let's start on some of the things that the president has spoken on. I'm going to start with you, Mr. Shomi. He's talking about the fact that most importantly, he starts by looking at the grueling circumstances through which this government has come to be. And he talked about the fact that as a country that we have endured many hardships that many other countries could have crumbled under, but that we have stayed the course, that we have a staying power as a people. And he also talked about the resilience of Nigeria. He said to the surprise of many, but not to ourselves, we have more firmly established this land as a democracy both in word and in deed. Now, of course, we have bolstered as a country of peaceful handover from a democratic dispensation from one to another. And here we are with our 16th president, who is a Democrat. Let's look at Bola Med Tinibu's speech, of course, the opener, where he's talking about a Nigeria that has been resilient and has stood the test of time. Is Nigeria really standing on its two feet? Or are we at the verge? And is this government capable of rescuing us? Mr. Shomi, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Yes, I can. Go ahead. When you look at what the president said, it's not something new. It's not the first president that said it. I remember when the former president Babangida was in power, a military president, he made the same allusion about how Nigerians could, Nigeria could still continue to exist, even with all the problems he was facing as a leader at that point in time. Now, since then, the problems have bought it life. In the past, hardly will you have the kind of challenges we have now. And then you have the military coming in and interrupting the process. But now that has been a thing of the past. We are now matured. We are now a mature democracy where there are issues and there will be challenges. But people are patient enough and we need to find solutions to those problems without necessarily, you know, resulting to any form of interregnum of military intervention Of course, Nigerians will not tolerate the military. Of course, civilian regime is better than the best military rule. So, therefore, Tinnubu is actually highlighting, you know, those facts. The fact that Nigerians are very resilient. There have been so many problems that they are willing to go through the worst of it all, the two worst ones that we faced, you know, the the hardest farmer slash, leading to loss of lives, loss of lives, and also the cat's work, which also costs some people lives and their businesses. And yet, people still show the necessary understanding to say, look, we're participating in a democratic process, we'll cast a vote and we'll vote for whatever we think can transform our situation. I think that is intimate. I'm trying to say that, look, I will not disappoint Nigerians that he would measure up to expectation. Of course, I won't go into all the policy issues that he highlighted. We will get to that point. But let me trust to Mr. Macri. The president also spoke about, you know, like I said, peaceful transmission of power, which is he now referred to now as our political tradition. And he said that the handover symbolizes our trust in God and during faith in representative government, et cetera, et cetera. But he passed to make reference to his predecessor, president, former president, Mama Dupuhari. He said, and I quote, you have been honest, patriotic leader who has done his best for our nation.  May history be kind to you. Will history really be kind to President Mama Dupuhari? Because we cannot talk about the future without talking about the past that just preceded this new dawn. What are your thoughts on President Buhari's leadership and his performance so far? Okay. Thank you very much. And you see, we, Nigerians have passed through a whole lot where when you look at it, depending on which side of the divide you are standing, you will feel the heat more. And I think Nigerians had a very rough time in the eight years, especially when it comes to security-wise. We know the president, Dupuhari, could be honest to himself, whereby he tried to give the security agencies what they want, the military what they want, although there were mismanagements in some of these areas. But at the same time, you know, he, in the box tops in his table, where the inflation, the dollar rate, the kidnappings, the, you know, the conflicts, the tribal sentiment, the irredentist movements that cover the whole country, I think is something that even the new government now is inheriting. And I hope they are going to look at it very well because that is the major crux of the problem. You know, Nigeria has a serious security problem. And we cannot rush it under the carpet to face it headlong and solve it. Well, I like how you said that it's a serious problem. And for a government of, for my president, Mohammed Dupuhari, that rolled on the wings of dealing with Boko Haram, I mean, of course, the government at the time would say that they had technically defeated Boko Haram. But then it, of course, became a metamorphose into different sleeper cells. And we've seen icewap also come into the mix. We've seen unknown gunmen. We've seen herders and farmers clashes. We've seen kidnappers, et cetera, et cetera. And our security operators have also been at the receiving end of some of these very terrible attacks. So again, what is the new president inheriting in terms of this insecurity? Where should he start from? Well, it's inherited everything that has been existing, you know, since 2015, you know, because when you look at it, Boko Haram is still there. Although our former minister of information will say that they were technically defeated. But we know that they were not technically defeated.  And these bandits are causing a lot of problems in the southwest, and they're not west, you know, so are not central. So these people are still around. If you say that they don't exist anymore, then I think everybody would be very, very happy. But that situation has not occurred yet. And that's why I'm saying that the new government have to look at them. The bandits especially, you know, and right now in the past one or two weeks, they've been coming down because they feel that Nigeria is going through a transition. Let us see what's going to happen. After the transition very well, they will start their own to say we are still here. And it depends on how we deal with it, because the new president, President Tulu, is saying that he's going to deal with it through the doctrine and the architecture. And let's see how they, you know, define those things properly and then use them in solving this particular problem. Of course, joining us also is Ade Wale Ade Ogun. He is a member of the All Progressive Congress, and he's currently at the Presidential Villa. Thank you very much for joining us, Mr Ade Ogun, but I'll come to you in a bit.  We've had to have a back and forth as to how these issues have been dealt with by state governors and of course the presidency. Many have said that one of the biggest things that the president who's just got sworn in will have to deal with is unifying Nigeria, being that this election, the past elections, for many pundits has been the most divisive. What does he start from to deal with this issue of unifying the country? Because of course we know as Nigerians were largely divided along religious and ethnic lines, but we've also seen serious divisions in different regions of the country, and for every region there's a peculiarity. Where do we start from? Well, in the first place we start by joining other Nigerians to congratulate the new president, because he has finally been sworn in. Whether you vote for him or you do not vote for him, he is now the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the federal republic. So he's congratulating him, but reminding him that the tax before him is enormous. He put a body that our colleagues said earlier, he has inherited so many things. He's been carrying the insecurity that he needs. He's inherited the huge debt that Nigeria is going towards. He's inherited the big one that is all over the country. Reverend Hayab, are you still there? For the election, and it is over now. What we tend to do is wish him well, to pray for him, and to offer advice so that the best can come out of the leadership. So I think that is the focus at the moment. Overflowing what has happened is not. Bola Tinebu is not Mohammed Buhari. He's a citizen where you can take away certain facts about Bola Tinebu. What we thought we could have, what we thought Nigeria should be, may not exactly be, but we should have confidence that we can deliver. If he's going to listen to advice, if he wants to get out with people. Some of the information we have available to us about him, we can see that he is some of who carrying Nigeria forward. But the reality of the problems are there. You cannot shy away about him. You cannot even... Okay, Reverend Hayab, I think we're having a little connection issue with you. All right, we're having a little connection issue with you. We'll come back to you. Let's go to Adiwale Adyogo. You obviously are at the presidential villa, so let me start by asking what the mood is at the villa. Good evening. Yeah, the mood of the day, from two every midnight last night has been very hepatic. We are glad that today has come and that the next four years will be for Nigeria in Nigeria, because we believe in the president who was on it today. He gave us his manifesto, which was renewed up, and that today we have to attend it, that it's willing to govern a united Nigeria. We are no tribe, no religions, we're still threatened. So our prayer is that all Nigerians, we cooperate fully with them and then do our beach to make Nigeria a better country where all Nigerians will be great and we're proud to be part of. I'm so sorry, just like the other guests have said, there's a huge huge, I mean the plate of the president is already full, there's no space right now, there's high level of indebtedness, we have insecurity, there's a division among the different tribes across the country, thanks to a very divisive, you know, pre-election campaign and of course elections, there's so many things that the president has to do and now he has come out to say that we all have to join hands with him, you know, to make sure, for national cause, to devote ourselves, to make sure that Nigeria still exists. You obviously are a supporter of the president and you what do you think would be the biggest challenge for this president in all of the things that I've mentioned, our economy is facing a huge downturn, insecurity is the order of the day and of course so many other issues, he did say that he's going to deal with the Naira issue but what do you think would be the biggest problem for the Tinnabar administration? Can you hear me Mr. Adeu? Hello. Yes, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you, you're asking me, I want to go to be the greatest challenge for the president in the past four years. Yes. Like I have said, like many of us believe in this man because it is said and then I want to believe that we should be given that trust.  But yes, in the issue of security, he has said that the security architecture is going to be rebranded and to give us what Nigeria needs. And I feel you want to talk about justice. I see a lot of security challenges with the unbounded when there's justice in the land and we're only by the rule of law. Okay, let me come back to you Mr. Shoomi. Let's look at some of the key issues that Nigeria is dealing with today. Of course, Mr. Makri has highlighted the issue of insecurity. But let's talk about the fact that he did mention about the Naira swap and of course this also has to do with Nigeria's economy.  As we speak, the past government, it looks to many who are looking from the outside in that there was not necessarily a clear cut, you know, economic recovery or strategic plan from the get go. It took six months for the Bahá'í administration to be able to pick members of the cabinet. And one would have thought that after that six months would have impeccable people fitting into that administration. But that was not the case. Now let's look at the Tinnubu administration. Many have said, I mean, I don't know what you're saying, we believe in the man who has done stuff in Lagos. But then a Bahá'í came and said, I'm for everybody, I'm for nobody. But here we are eight years later. Maybe we still, we have a bad taste in our mouths. How do you perceive that a Bola Tinnubu would deal with the issues of our economy? Yes. When you look at, when you hear this speech, I've gone back again to be can't understand what Tinnubu is trying to do. In the post-istance, it's not even running away from the challenges. It's saying we have challenges and we have to tackle them head on. The first thing he said on the economy is to explain the current situation in relation to wealth subsidy. That as of today, the budget which he inherited from Bahá'í in the go-for-that provision for wealth subsidy beyond May 30th, which was made known to the whole country by the Bahá'í administration. So as it stands now, there won't be subsidy for two more days, two or three more days, when it will cease and then there's no provision. Don't forget that the national assembly that passed that budget is still in place until sometimes in June and the new ones have not taken over. So therefore, that is what he meant by subsidy as in there. So that's one part of the economic issues which he highlighted. The second part of it is his own plan to transform the economy. He spoke about ensuring increased productivity. He spoke about the industrial policy. He spoke about the monetary policy. On the monetary policy, he's actually saying that look, the idea of having a too prong cash market is totally unacceptable. He's saying that this is the time to match it and create one single forex market, which is brilliant because that will solve the problem of speculators, those who are ramp tripping, buying the dollar at official rate and selling a black packet rate and a fueling inflation. So that would solve that problem because we should not forget that it may pay the price, the forex market down to what we have. And also on the issue of the cash flow, as far as he's concerned, his government is going to maintain the two currency to one side by side because he has not seen any enough evidence to show that the CBN actually has done enough preparation to change the currency till now. How many people can see the currency in town? So therefore, it's going to retain port to run peripers. So those are two clear departure on economic issues from the Buwari's administration. And when you look at the industrial policy, we're talking about the fact that we need to look into that and create a situation where investments can come in, not only domestic investors, but also for the direct investment in a way that we can promote growth and development. He has a target of 6 percent growth currently, the forecast for this year is about 2.4 percent, if I'm not wrong, that's the growth rate. He's targeting 6 percent, that's very ambitious. And to do that means we have to inflate the economy one way or the other. One good thing which he said is the idea of taming inflation. And he's saying that we have to bring that interest rate, while at the same time taming inflation. And that is possible because when you have an economy that is heading towards recession or that needs to get out of recession, you don't keep increasing interest rate. What you do is you spend more and then you keep the interest rate low. The only way you can encourage private sector to pump money into the economy to invest in productive activities and businesses and industries is to have a more stable interest rate. And that is what he's saying. That will keep the interest rate low. They will bring it down so that the private sector can beat the growth which he anticipated will be achieved during his own tenure. And for me, I think he's on the right path. The most controversial one which will become more problematic initially is the issue of removal of subsidy. He's not the one removing it. It has been removed. That's the point. He's only reminding us that the warrior's administration has removed it already because there is no further provision. This current budget which he will have to implement is not his own budget. That was warrior's budget. And we all kept quiet when they passed that budget and allowed the subsidy to be removed rather than being engaged in a face removal. But whatever it is, I think they will have to invest the money in other infrastructure under things that would touch his people's life, including palliatives for the most vulnerable people in our country. Well, we will take a quick break. When we come back, Mr. Maki, we'll be talking about security, of course, and how this will play out under this administration and what the security architecture of Nigeria needs for it to be able to fight this warfare, whether it be a guerrilla warfare, of course, deal with the issues in the southeast and, the north central. We'll be right back after this break. It's still Inauguration Day special on plus politics. We'll be right back. It's still plus politics. Inauguration Day special. I'm still being joined by a veteran journalist, a public affairs analyst, Dennis Amakri, who is a former assistant director of the DSS and also joining us is Reverend Joseph Hayab. He is the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Kaduna State. Now, before we went on that big, Mr. Maki, I was going to come to you to talk about security. I'd like to quote the president directly. He said that security shall be top priority of his administration because neither prosperity nor justice can prevail if insecurity and violence continues to prevail. He says to effectively tackle this menace, we shall reform both our security doctrine and this architecture, and that's where you come in. Many have queried the monies that we vote to security. It's shrouded in secrecy, and so we cannot be probed. People cannot be held accountable. I think in the history of our democracy, the only person who's gone down for monies that had to be tied to security was the former NSA boss, who I think is still in custody. But as we continue to talk about insecurity in Nigeria, welfare, restructuring, not just changing service shifts, but of course the welfare of the people, the men and women who are in front of the battle lines, the people who are making sure that they keep our borders safe need to be taken care of, has that been a priority, and will that be a priority going forward? And who's going to push that narrative? I'm very happy when I heard him talking about security to be one of the first priorities, top priorities that is going to handle, because you see that is the biggest problem Nigeria has. And of course it's not that the security people are not professional enough. They are very professional. Our military is very, very professional. You know, they started fighting in a symmetric war, and right now, I think they are experts in it, although they've not overcome some of the vestiges of the insurgency that we still have. And then of course, look at the other security intelligence agencies. You know, they are having serious professionals, but there are things to be done. There are things to be done. Number one, police. The president have to, if he wants to succeed, he has to balkanize the police. He has to balkanize the police. I always say, balkanize the police. He should look at that structure that exists right now, and break it down. We'll be talking about state police, community police, university police, you know, all kinds of marine police. These are things they should look at. For the police system to be more effective, it doesn't have to be a big system.  In the United States here, we have about 16,000 police organizations. Cities have their own police. Like we have legals, we can have legals police, you know. So it is something that we have to look at. And I know that even before, when the president was governor of Lagos State, we used to talk about it. And I know his chief security officer was one of the proponents of state police. I would discuss it. And I hope now that he's there, he's going to do it. Look at the police system, balkanize it. Then look at the intelligence services. The intelligence services need a review. A review, a serious review. Number one, go in there and uproot all the dead woods in the intelligence system. Because we know that there are a lot of, a lot of intelligence officers who are just there trying to look for money. Those people have to live because the intelligence service is not civil service. And that has to be clear. That has to be made clear. He has to remove all those people, then retreat and equip so that they can meet global standards. And then when you do this, the military is okay, I think, in their own way. When you balkanize the police and then, of course, they retreat them to make sure that they deal with the low-hugging fruits. And the low-hugging fruits are simple. Equality before the law. Equal justice for all. Equal justice under the law. Because that's the problem we are having. People don't believe in the law. And we have to make people believe in the law. I don't know how he's going to do it. There are many models that are used that can achieve that. But people have to be lawful in this country. Lawful as simple as obeying traffic light. That's where we start. Because if we don't do that and we just mount the law, we're going to deal with security, Boko Haram and all the rest. We have to start from the fundamentals. Then we can increase to Boko Haram, look at the regional conflicts, look at the ethnic conflicts that are going on. And then I think we'll be on a level, are we? It's a start. Okay. Back to you, Reverend Hayab.  And we know that I'm very proud to say that Nigeria's population is very youthful. 80% of our population is youthful as opposed to other countries who are seeking for young people to come and work in their countries. But on the downside is that we do not have opportunities for these young people. Universities are turning out these children or these young adults in their numbers to go nowhere. What opportunities do you think that these governments can create? I'm not saying governments should give jobs here. Don't get me wrong. What opportunities do you see a tenable administration creating? What atmosphere? I mean, many would applaud at Dangote for continuously coming up with ideas that can start businesses that employ more and more Nigerians. But when we talk about the bottlenecks and the bureaucracies that the devil, the Nigerian system of government, do we see a tenable administration creating and enabling environments for businesses to thrive for an opportunity to encourage young people to do better and not be a devil's workshop like the old saying goes? Well, our President have some issues to settle with Nigerian youth. We have not forgotten in the hurry the dramas surrounding the Ansar's protests. How he was painted the role some of them thought he played. So God has given him an opportunity to prove to this youth that he cares for them. God has given an opportunity to prove to this young man that he has a better idea and plan for them. So we look forward to see what he will do. So he did promise about job questions. He talks about giving this. Are you still there? Reverend Hire, are you still there? I think that we've lost that connection with Reverend Hire. I'm going to toss that question to you. Mr. Sho will me if you can pick up from there. Job creation, enabling environment, keeping our young people busy. Yes. The fact of the matter is the problem of unemployment and under employment in Nigeria is very acute. It's very serious. We need to understand why we have that situation. It can only tackle it by going, dealing with the root cause of the problem or why also trying to resolve the current situation. Now the root cause of the problem is that population is growing faster than the economy. The economy currently is projected to grow at 2.4 percent and we are looking at a population growing at a rate of 9.5 percent. So therefore, in some years time, you would not have enough jobs. The situation will be worse than what it is today in terms of employment. So that is the cause of the problem if your population is growing faster than your economy. So in order to address the problem, Chinungu has already come out to set a target of 6 percent growth. 6 percent growth will take you with some of the problem, not immediately, but some of the problems that are likely going to increase in future in terms of reducing the gap between the margin between the economy and population growth rate. So the other side still remains the population which a lot has to be done either through the orientation. We have a national orientation against, I don't know what they intend to do with that. But that's one aspect of the question which is on the course of the problem why we have this acute youth unemployment. Now on the immediate solution to the problem, the only alternative is to create employment. And that is what is now saying that he's going to look at the industrial policy with a view to ensure that our industrial policy would drive investment, private sector led investment, in different sectors of the economy in the way that jobs will be created. I mean, I think they're talking about some million jobs not to be created to reduce the problem which we have currently. The solution which many Nigerian youths are currently is to jump out or to do some other things which may not be in accordance with the law. But while we're also strengthening the EFCC, we also need to ensure that these streets are meaningfully engaged. One aspect which I think it would also go into is the area of creative act. They're going to have to encourage that so that they can take some people off the streets and get things doing. The president spoke about also is, what did he call it? He called it technology, more or less what he's saying is that technology-driven initiatives. That's not exactly what he said, but that's what he meant. That is, we're going to have to exploit technology, you know, for the benefit of our own economy and for the youth. The idea of banning Twitter, which actually destroyed the businesses of some young people who are doing business with Twitter, would be a thing of the past. Whether you want to regulate it or not, but you don't destroy a productive base, which is creating employment priorities. So he's thinking along those lines and I'm sure if he's able to get the right people, which I think he would have, you know, to drive those policies, get the industrial policy right, you know, to drive the economy, get the private sector, you know, to inject money. And I'm sure we would expand the economy within the next two years. Nigerians would begin to see a change in 18 months for two years. Okay, great. Mr. Makhry, you had to show me as, you know, gotten into my question to you. We want to talk about Nigeria's foreign policy. The world. Before now, Nigeria used to be seen as the big brother of Africa, the giant of Africa, but for many, the giant has been asleep for too long. And looking to the Tunibu administration, will the giant be seen awakening from its sleep? Again, Nigeria's relationship with several countries across the world, the Green Pass, but has not necessarily been accorded the respect that it deserves. And many would point to the fact that our leadership's previous, past and present have not necessarily done the country great and hence the reaction that we get outside of the country. How well do you, or what attention do you think the Tunibu administration will give to foreign policy? And again, quickly, Rowan Hayab mentioned something about, you know, the feeling that young people have towards Mr. President. How does he intend to one way or the other appease the gods of the youth in Nigeria in closing? Yes, it's really appeasing the gods of the youth. And I think his advisors should be able to look at this because, you see, what we are discussing here are the problems, you know, and if somebody will sit down and give attention to these problems, you know, then you can solve them. Because if you don't identify the problems and just use a blanket cover, you know, then we have a bigger problem coming our way, you know. Our passports, the Green Passport will be respected as soon as we have a very strong and very, very rational leadership. Because that's where it is. If our leadership is strong, everybody will respect our leaders in the International Committee of Nations. They will also respect our passports. Because when our leaders are not strong, our leaders are not very, very straightforward. Our people are running away from our country. That shows that the country is not good off very well.  But if they respect our leaders, respect our people, and how do you respect our people? By also making the economy. These are all linked up together. If the economy is strong, people don't have to go to anywhere. Go to South Africa. Go to the American Embassy in South Africa. You will not see a single line of people who are trying to have a visa to go to America, you know. Because the country has been done in the way that the citizens there, I think, are very satisfied with what they have. So these are all inter-wide whereby our leaders have to really look at our economy, the poverty rate. Because these are the fundamental security issues. And if these security issues are addressed, then you see people who do not have to go to Japan, as we say. And then, of course, when they see our passports overseas, they will respect that passport. But if our people are still running outside, it shows. That's an indication that is allowed to go. And, of course, the hope of every Nigerian after today is that our stories should hopefully change. Because many leaders have come and gone and told us that we all kept watching body language. But I don't know how well body language or how far body language has taken us. But we'll keep our fingers crossed. And, of course, what begins tomorrow, we will be back here to have a conversation as to who will make the ministerial team. And, of course, the list of appointees. But I want to say thank you. Viadu Shalmi is a veteran journalist and a public affairs analyst. And Dennis Amakri is a former assistant director of the DSS. Also, we were being joined by Revan Joseph Hayab. Apologies for the connection issues, Revan Hayab. Unfortunately, he is the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State Chapter. And we briefly were joined by Adeel Ali Adeelgun, who is a member of the APC, who was currently at the time of speaking with him at the villa. Thank you so much, gentlemen. We're all looking forward to a better Nigeria after today, hopefully. Thank you. All right. Thank you. And that's the show tonight. Congratulations to all Nigerians. And, of course, congratulations to the president. As, of course, he sets the ball rolling from tomorrow. I am Mary Annacon. We'll be back tomorrow to discuss more on the Geneva administration. Have a good evening.


Hi, I'm Mindy Klove. I've been a demonstrator for, well, this next March will be my 10-year anniversary. I have three kids. I have three kids. One's up at the U of U, got one doing a surface mission, and my baby is a senior in high school. I'm going to be just demonstrating a couple things for you today. The first one is this little fun fold. It's like holds a little bag of M&Ms. Or it holds gum. But it stands up. I did these for my customers and my downline when we did it a little event. So, here's what you're going to start with. Unfortunately, you need 12 by 12 paper. So, that's the only bad thing. So, you're going to start with a 5 3 quarter by 12 inch paper, and you're going to score it at 11 and a half, 10 and a half, 9 and a half. These are all inches, six inches, two and a half inches and two inches on your long side. And then on the short side, and then you're going to score a half inch, one inch, four and three quarters, and five and a quarter.  These are right here, so you've got this. You're going to put score tape up here, and you're going to flip it over, and you're going to put score tape here. A few additional things that you're going to need for decoration are you're going to need a three and a half by three and a quarter piece of card stock, a three and a half by one and three quarter piece of card stock, DSP three and a quarter by one and a half, and three and a quarter by three. And then any other embellishments, I said I've got ribbon and some dies and, you know, so whatever you want to decorate with. So, those are the things you're going to need. Let me show you really quickly how to put it together. Okay, so this is my piece right here.  And then this piece gets folded this way. And then this is going to get folded, whoops, wrong way. Okay, you're going to fold it up accordion style so it looks kind of like this. Then you're going to have your score tape. Oh my goodness, I'm warm. Okay, you're going to take and you're going to peel. Yes. Okay, sorry, I was trying to decide, I was trying to remember if I needed to decorate it first. But here's why I'm not going to put the inner panel in first. I'll tell you why in a second. Oh my goodness, I'm like so nervous. I'm getting like super hot. I don't know why. Oh my good heavens. Okay, sorry.  Okay, so that's kind of your start of your little box. And then you've got this little mountain fold here.  So there you have your base of your box.  I don't like to have those show. So we're going to just, I already have my panels ready. This is going to go in like this, mash that down. I have this other little panel. This is going to go on the front like this. I already have it all decorated. The magic of television. And then if it's a cute little package of M&Ms or you can even put gum in it. And that is that. So, whoops, the gum is a little heavy, obviously. There you go. Okay. And then, thank you. Okay. And then my last project is going to be a fun fold card. You just have a simple four and a quarter by five and a half base. This is a little pocket that pulls, you pull this out and this is where you can write your little greetings and whatnot. And then this little pocket will hold a gift card. So, I'm going to show you how to make this card. So, you're going to need a few pieces of paper. You're going to need a piece of DSP that is eleven and three quarters by five and a quarter. You're going to score it one and three quarters, four and three quarters, and seven and three quarters. Your card base, like I said, is four and a quarter by five and a half. Your writing piece is three and a half by four and a quarter. This is a little piece.  And then your gift card holder is three and an eighth by four and a quarter. You'll need about ten inches of ribbon, maybe not quite that much.  So, we're going to put one together really quick. So, you've got your piece of DSP that's scored already. You're going to need to put tear and tape here and here. And then this, you can either just use a regular adhesive or tear and tape. It's up to you because we're just going to fold this down and adhere it. But then on the back, you're going to need tear and tape. So, it's basically on the same side. You're going to need, on this panel, this, the second middle panel, you're going to need tear and tape on that. And that's going to show you how to do your, that will do your pockets. So, first of all, we're going to peel this and we're just going to adhere that down. Then we're going to peel our tear and tape here. And you just do it the top and the bottom because that's how it's going to make a pocket. Because you're going to want to be able to slide your card stock in. So, that's made this first little pocket right here. And then we're going to peel this tear and tape. That's on the back. Excuse me. And then that creates this little pocket here.  And then I've already got my little gift card piece with some ribbon. I tied it in a bow so I think I used a little bit more than 10 inches there. But that just slides into that side pocket there.  I like to put a little something and glue that down. And then you can stamp something there if you want. I just didn't because it's not, it's not very big. You don't have a lot of room to write anyways.  Just make sure that you don't, like this is going to lay out on the front and I don't have any dimensionals on this side because I did not want, I want to be able to pull this out, this piece out. So you're going to put this here in the center. And there's your finished card with your two pockets. And that's it. Thank you.
