Thanks for staying with us. It's time now to look at the papers. What are the headlines saying this morning? I guess it's Mr. Tunde Kolaule, a legal practitioner here in Lagos State. Good morning and welcome to the program, Mr. Kolaule. Good morning, my brother. Hope you have a restful night. Yes, I did have a restful night. At least that small time that God gave us to forget our sorrows and live in the land of dreams. Good morning, good morning. What would you like us to begin with this morning? Well, it is not unexpected that foreign investors living in our balance sheet will be too fearful to either come into the country to invest or will be too eager to take out whatever investments they have made in this country. But when people have worked very hard for their money, they will not want it to go down the drain. Most of the problems that we have in this country to do, whether in the banking sector, whether in the political sector, whether in agriculture or economic sector, are man-made. We are the architect of our own misfortune until the investors begin to see the green light, until they begin to see that we are making very serious and meaningful to turn things around. And this can really be turned around within the shortest possible space of time, if we are ambitious, if we are developed, if we are committed. So I should think the reactions of the foreign investors are reactions that good businessmen will make given the circumstances of the Nigerian situation. If we do, I have read somewhere where a southern African businessman was saying that the pulling out of business out of Nigeria is just going to be for a short while. As soon as the military, international businesses will still return to Nigeria, giving the huge mass potential of the country, the huge mineral resources, the potential of the country. And also the very, very huge manpower capacity of the country. You will remember when, is it 9 o'clock now, what do they call it, was being established. One of the leading investors in there came, I think for me, Zimbabwe, I think he is based in South Africa. He said he has never seen what he saw in Nigeria when they were establishing that telecommunication company. The way they call for adverse, for the country adverse, there were people who have two, three PhDs, three masters degree. In diverse areas, who are applying for jobs. Nigeria is about one of the only countries in the world where you can see that kind of a thing. So these are things that can really be understood to cool Nigeria out of what they admire it is now. But I suspect, once you begin to show some seriousness and all that, the red light, the amber light, will continue to be seen in the international business circle. Well, I don't know if we are just talking out of arrogance and self-confidence that we are a populist country and because of that everything will work in our favor. Because people who are pulling out are the people who are doing legitimate business. For instance, these illegal miners that we have been hearing about, they are not pulling out. They are still doing what business they are doing. So the light mineral resources that we have in Nigeria are being tapped, whether we like it or not. And the people who are tapping it are not contributing to the growth of Nigeria's economy at all. So we are letting the legitimate ones go and then the illegitimate ones are still continuing as if nothing is happening. Okay, right now, because of the accusations and everything that they have given to Binance, another headline is saying that Binance departs to depart Nigeria market and services in local currency. Yes, they have told us that Binance is doing illegal things. They are making the Naira to fall and so many accusations that they have said, they have even said they are financing terrorism and all that. Now they are folding up and leaving Nigeria. I was just asking this morning, couldn't there have been a middle ground to meet these people, prosecute them if you find them guilty and all that, and make sure that it's not just pack up and get out of our country, because that is what it has amounted to. They are leaving the country and whether we accuse them rightly or wrongly, it is sending a signal to the people who may want to come and invest in Nigeria again. Those are just my thoughts. I don't know what you feel about it. Binance is leaving now. I agree with you totally. You know, when I was doing my intro, I said most of the problems that we have in this country have set me, we are the architect of our own misfortune. The binance that we are talking about, if there has been a very good regulatory framework on ground, if there is no conspiracy commission within the regulatory authorities and in that country, most of the malfeasances that they have committed or allegedly committed and all that will not have happened. For every infraction that those companies may have committed, you will find that 70 percent, the way they are 70 percent by Nigeria and other people, it was very less of a regulation on the foreign exchange market. As regards whether there could be sanctions for them, either internationally or locally, I agree with them in their own opportunity for the Nigeria Authority to make our sanctions to these people. Of course, we and I do know that there are international finance or business appraisal costs. Such as we went during the IPI issues that Nigeria could take for the company to. Of course, those companies are not living in the clouds. They came from one country or the other. They could be reporting the country to their own country where they come from and then legal proceedings are committed. There is also nothing that solves the Nigeria Authority from arresting the principal officers of the company and sending them in the court of competent judicial in Nigeria to face the consequence of whatever infraction they may have committed. But the truth of the matter is that we may not have the political will to be able to do that. Because like I said, whatever infraction these people may have committed, the most have been needed and are better by the Nigerian people. It's only those people in the Nigerian area and not us. So if your people are going missing and are dead, then this is why not us. Then wouldn't be too eager. Or they will not have both the one adjudication or the legal adjudication or the local adjudication to begin to take steps to bring these people to justice. As a consensus of these cases, they may have required, because like we said, the Ambanite has always been there. There were reports in so many newspapers on radio and then so many platforms that the foreign exchange markets of Nigeria, these are the activities of some of these companies and the central banks of Nigeria, was being done in a very open manner. And that is what has turned so many people into multi-millionaires in the country without really investing or manufacturing any products. So your question became, there are opportunities to bring them to justice in Nigeria. There are opportunities to bring them to justice in their own countries. There are opportunities to bring them to justice in the international distress arena. If we have the political way. Yeah, because the National Assembly, I know they invited Binance head to come. But before that happened, two officials of Binance just landed Nigeria and they were arrested. You know, as we usually do things, arrest them before you do investigation and all that. And because of that, the others were afraid to even appear. So maybe there could have been an explanation. We don't know. But now this is where it is going, which means a lot of Nigerians will have to lose their jobs and lose their means of livelihood because of this. I don't know. Another thing on the headlines here, still on BusinessNG, IMF to federal government, implement cash transfer program before addressing fuel and electricity subsidies. IMF again. So I don't know what you feel about that. I have my reservations, but what do you think? To be honest, speaking, all these cash transfer regimes or programs are effective in an organized economy. Where there are debtors, especially as the debtors who are living below the poverty line, that require to be paid, that require to be helped and watered. Yeah, and I didn't know that statistics is very opaque in Nigeria. And you see what has happened of recent, while the Minister of Humanitarian Affair and I think that of this internal affair and top billions of Naira have to be voted to attend to do research to get data as regards those who should not nearly be paid out in respect to some of these cash transfer programs. Whereas you and I didn't know. Now, before you even begin to think about those programs, what you have done is get statistics before you even begin to think about the program. And we do have the organs and structures in this country to help us get those statistics. Say for example, the Federal Ministry of Statistics, they are all over the country and they have been there since the independence. So why such persons are not being needed to get some of these things or that we may have an individual that we have to contest such programs to private companies. We don't even have the statistics. We don't have the resources. We don't have the reach to get all the details and then when it comes to statistics as it was to be done. Furthermore, if we look around the world, there are very few places where this cash transfer program has really helped people out of the poverty. I know they've done it in India before. I know they have done it in Pakistan and Noura. But other than the programs of the people in Noura, you find that in most of those places, the people are thinking to more and more update their properties in Noura because once you transfer this money to Noura, other than invest the money, the people who get the money will just see the money to sell their immediate needs, buy food stock, cook a pot of steel, maybe pay their students who fees so that life goes on. These are not people who could wait and invest the money to really begin to turn their lives around and vulnerable. So we need to be more sensitive to the nature of our environment as regards the way and manner we're going to build our discipline. The IMF program works in an organized environment. We are there as statistics. We are people that are sensitive. We are there all sorts of safety measures. So we may be able to help the poor people, the indigent people. The people are living below the poverty line in the different countries of the world. We are not in that bracket as a nation. And of course, once you begin to do this kind of corruption, political decisions will influence it. It is not impossible and it has been alleged in the past that some politicians need the opportunity to smuggle their supporters, those who vote for them into all these cash transfer programs which at the end of the day does not get to the place where they should even get to. I was also reading the paper not too long ago that some of the people who benefit from some of this really don't have a bank account. And even if they do have a bank account, those accounts will have been shot down now because most of them will not have their DVA. Most of them will not have their NIN. Because we have been told that the Nigerian data management, the NINC, and then also the banks and others don't have branches. In some of these local governments, we have been told that NIN could be provided for the people so that the cash transfer regime or the money will be transferred to the different accounts and the thing can work seamlessly. I have been told that the capacity of the NINC to provide NINC for the Nigerian people is that it still requires more than one million people still required to be provided with NINC. This is for the people, I mean for the business, the different banks and others. It's not too good to begin to visit the dictate of the NINC. NINC has been responsible for the collapse of government, for the poverty in some different countries. The second NINC, the Latin American countries, is to be wary of them. And let's also remember what the geologist, Mubasa, just said. So you don't want to say that Mubasa just told him that, look, this is to the INA when they talk to you, but the wary of implementing their program. I think that is the kind of window that we should apply. In the second NINC, they are asking us not to subsidize anything, agricultural, transportation, education, power and water. We are asking the own country where they come from, in Britain, in America and others. But generally all this is unsubsidized. And asking us not to subsidize those things, Mr. Contagion and OK, we are people who are even more poor. We are getting no food stand for people. It's to me, suicide. It's to me, suicide. It should be wary of the INA's recommendations in that respect. Everybody is just getting tired of these external influences. What do you expect when we keep going cup in hand to borrow and borrow and borrow? They say, if you take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself. The whole problems that we are having now started with the fuel subsidy removal. And they are advising us to give pitans to people. 20,000 Naira will not even buy a bag of Gary right now.  And they are saying, why many people will even get it when it comes to that? I'm thinking about, whenever I talk about this thing, I think about the people in my village that I can identify as poor people. They can't even move to the next village except they are trekking. And they are asking them to come with BVN, with NIN, people that don't even have. They don't even have any idea about that. Exactly. There was a time in the time. And the NINC and the banks and all that, they don't even have the capacity to provide those things for them now. What is so difficult? Because in the time of... In the time of... The NINC we are talking about, that program started in 1979, from that day I like to say, we should have got the presidency. And that is what we are still battling with up till now. From 1979. You know? I don't know. Maybe there is this duplication of offices. I don't know. But in the time of Basan Joe, there was this national identity program, where every village had officers that were doing this national identity. And everybody was captured, no matter how old, how poor, whatever, because it's in your village. I don't know why that is not... We cannot bring back such a thing for NINC. Let's remind ourselves that in the past, the national security office of statistics used to have offices of different local governments all over the country. Apart from that, they had the state level. You know, the different local government, the federal office of statistics had offices in all those places. And this is for the purpose of capturing some of these data that you are talking about. I'm not to show whether they have written those offices, and if they have written them, whether it is credit, resources and funds have been made available to them. So they have to carry out some of these very, very crucial and essential functions that the federal office of statistics has been trying to do. Well, there's another one. You said that a lot of the things that happen in Nigeria are caused by us. And this story maybe just explains that. And when I read it, it was very, very worrisome to me. The BUA, the Bois cement, said why we couldn't sustain selling cement for 3,500 Naira. Now, last year you remember that there was this story that Bois has said they were going to reduce the price of cement back to 3,500 Naira. And everybody was clapping. At some point, we didn't see the 3,500 Naira cement anymore. And Bois is coming out to say that they did implement it, but the middlemen were the ones who prevented those who needed it to have it at 3,500 Naira. And the shame was shaming me, as we say in Nigeria. I don't even know how to explain this, how to say this. I don't know what you think about it. If a company is true to its words, and the middlemen are preventing that largesse, let me call it largesse now, that they are giving to the people, to reach the people, from reaching the people. Let's be very, very careful. Why do I say this? They are turned by the federal government to dictate the prices at which cement was going to be sold for me. And it's neither here nor there. It's like making a decree under a military regime as regards how prices of goods and services will be sold. Yeah, and I will remember. All efforts in the past since independence to regulate the prices of goods and services in Nigeria in most parts of the world have never worked. It had always been those products and services and those who sell them underground. Large black market platforms where goods and services that are regulated have been sold. The truth of the matter is that there is no way any cement company in Nigeria today can keep the price of cement at $3,500. Why do I say this? People do, most of the raw material that they use like lime and water are gotten in Nigeria. We must remember that they also use electricity. We must remember that they also buy goods to power their plants and other. We must also remember that they have to freight their goods and services to their company, their cement, from different parts of the country to the other. You must also remember their other overhead costs and water fees. Taxes at the local government level, at the federal level and then at the state level. When you put all this in place into the production of cement and other, you and I will know that it is wishful thinking that the federal government needs the government to be dictated for the cement and other that they should be selling their product at $3,500 per part. The producers who are telling us it is the middlemen who are the cause of their inability to sell at that price are just being economically with the truth. In the first instance, they merely agreed or merely respected the federal government by saying at that point at the time that they are going to be selling at $3,500 per part. They wouldn't want to believe the federal government. But they do know that in reality that is not possible. For us to be able to buy cement at $3,500, if that would ever be possible in the next 10 or 20 years, you would have to look at some of those in terms of prevention. Kizu, which I am told sells for about $1,100 per part now. And of course petroleum and also spare parts for vehicles so you can imagine how much a sale ahead is going to cost now giving the difference between the Naira and the dollar between the Naira empire between the Naira and Europe you have to import those costs. Yeah, but this is the problem. There are different parts of the country but all of these are increased by the people position. I understand what you are saying. I understand what you are saying. I totally agree with you that it is going to be difficult. How do you dictate to someone how to sell his things when you are not helping him to buy? But the problem here right now is that even when these people have agreed to do the needful there are people who are not government that are preventing that from happening. For instance, let me give you another example. Now you go into the streets in a lot of places they are selling a sachet of what we call pure water for 50 Naira and when you go to the companies that are selling this water to them some of these companies are still selling a bag of 20 of these sachets for 250. The highest I have seen is 300 Naira but they are selling one for 50 Naira. That means you are going to have a thousand Naira per bag. So it is not now the fault of the people who are supplying the water but the people who are in the middle of it. When inflation is this much and not that we should not I mean there is no doubt that there will be some racket here and there and there are people trying to take advantage and make a jumbo profit at the expense of the ordinary consumers on the streets. Those things are not impossible. There are things that happen given the circumstances that we have in our hands. The government can step into some of those areas and make sure that those things that never don't happen all the time. But that itself is also going to be very difficult. Why do I say that? I have spoken with some women who say some of those things are not okay. They told me that the reason why they do that is that when they go back to renew their stock when they want to return their stock is to sold out another. Most times when they go to renew their stock they don't meet the price. They don't meet the cost at which they bought the one they sold who most times have become different by the time they go to return their stock. So in order to be able to return their stock, they must anticipate that there might be an increase in the old state price from where they are trying to put it on it. They cannot speculate the thing and then so that if and so if they get in there and the price on the producer of change and all that, they will not be at the low. So that is what is happening. The way out of that is to stabilize in Naira and make sure that raw materials increase into manufacturing processes are not sold for the people who use them, get them at a fairly good price. We understand all that and we would like to appeal to the people who like the pure water I was using anytime you go back to the company they are still selling you at the same price so why are you hiking the prices? For other things we will understand this segment that we were talking about if the company agreed to be selling at 3.5 or lower than that so that the people will get it at 3.5 why? So don't you think we should start defining or redefining the role of the middleman in our economy where these problems are coming from the middleman? It is possible, there is no doubt about that it is possible for example you go to some other countries of the world and all that you find that the goods that you bought some 10 years ago but can you go back to that country after 10 years and all that the price might still remain the same without any significant changes or changes in the price of those goods it is possible when the currency of the country is very very stable that is possible so that more, that is possible where there are statistics as regards how you can manage or regulate the economy but the challenges that we have in our circumstances our currencies are never stable and more importantly you must remember that even though there is more I mean, businesses should go back into their business too many times business is not about morality it is about making a profit and most time it is in crisis situation that some people who have not really become a millionaire that is why you find out in world situation where you and I will not be too eager to be dealing in arms and ammunition some other persons will take advantage and begin to deal in arms and ammunition not minding what their beliefs are not minding what their religions are not minding the consequences of their actions and war as well so morality and businesses even though it is good they could be helpful most times businessmen think about profit more than morals and ethics when they are doing their business so longer they do not fall far of the law they want to continue doing their business the way they used to do it well falling far of the law we will have to talk about that another time because we don't know let's move on to nature news nature news is next so we still have this story we honored 3500 promise a bag of cement now food crisis don't back food importation I don't know what you think is food importation really a solution especially in the long run to Nigeria's food crisis honestly within among some circle of things we have been having this debate as regards whether the government will require to import food or teach the people to plant whatever food items they require and then be able to feed for them but the truth of the matter is that the money is based on salvation asking or telling such a person to make himself available for to be taught how to plant grains how to plant legumes how to fish oneself or be able to feed themselves and all that by the time in the process of teaching and in the process of inquiry and the process of investment whatever has been taught to do the problem will have died before those things give some good results so the analogy I'm making is that with the crisis we have in our hand now in which a very good carrying items food items from different parts of the country are being attacked and the food items are being looted this is a constant in which warehouses warefields are coming, warefields are coming warefields are coming kept from food items for emergency use are not being looted and looted we may require the federal government may require to import some good items to cross the prices of the food items in the market today and then to make these food items immediately available to the people so you will teach them how to plant what they need using the level of insecurity in the rural areas the hunger and starvation in the country today where people are beginning to serve their children to be able to eat and order the situation is very very dire I would in my own opinion advise and recommend for a short time maybe for a period of six months import food items into the country make it available to the people to distribute them at very cheap prices to be able to make the items available and then cash to provide this of the existing food items in the market and also use that period to go back to the land and begin to plant food or agricultural products in a very massive manner because as I said we are not going to be importing the food but we have done that so the farmers we are still not importing machinery are using seeds we cannot go back to the farm so how would we solve the problem if we are not going to import importation to me maybe the thing to do today import fish, import chicken import egg and also import grains, legumes and water at least for a period of six months so that we are able to dash and dash the attention and stop people from looting the different warehouses and then the trucks that are flying the country and then the food items yeah because that's really important I don't know agricultural, agric extension officers disappeared from our farms from our villages, I don't know why we don't have mechanized farming because at some point the local governments were having tractors and other things, farm imputes that people could use and we don't see those things anymore in Nigeria we don't see dry season farming that much because irrigation farming is not that much in the south at least I don't know about the north but in the south we don't find them these are things that we need and if we get this instead of even opening the borders we can start exporting food items but like you said a period of six months will not kill us exactly I take your analogy from where you start look at a country like Ukraine that country has been at war for about two years do you know as in terms of the war they are still exporting wheat and some other grains and water they even gave us some grains most of the arms that are used now especially some of the long-distance weapons that they are using they are not beginning to produce those things in their own country they are also producing clones and some other armaments that is to say that despite the war that is taking some of those countries and other research and development they still have been able to find the way around their agricultural production activities and other so that their people are not a start a war that has lasted two years and we are not yearning for any sort of salvation or hunger in a country like Spain I think for me that is food for thought as the people but we in Nigeria we have been at war with Bukwara we have been at war with Bandis for about 15 years or they are about and because of that we have abandoned the farm now we have abandoned the rural area we have not been able to secure we have not been able to protect the farmer that is a lot of danger in the horizon as regards the rural areas we talk about the cultural, the officers, the friends I mean how to reach a program that we used to take into this in Anola well immediately we begin to sell a we are making huge money for meat and water we abandoned the farmer and people also abandoned the rural area I think we have lost the audio from Tunde Kola Wole we are hoping he could rejoin us a little bit in a moment because we still have some time on our hands before we end this paper review in the meantime I will just take some of the headlines that we have not touched hoping that if he returns we are going to continue with it on the punch newspaper we have Nigeria's electricity, fuel, subsidies may gulp 7 trillion Naira that is according to IMF we have dealt with IMF and we may not go back to that again Army chief dismisses coup calls demands good leadership that is on the punch newspaper we also have federal government food smuggling government intercepts 141 green trucks drivers threaten strike over attacks the riders there customs cease 120 smuggled green trucks EFCC intercepts 21 Tinobu other sale of forfeited food now truck owners threaten to stop transporting food over attacks say no insurance for looted food stuff those are some of the headlines there okay Mr. Kolewole has rejoined us Mr. Kolewole we lost your audio at some point glad to know that you are back some is a very dirty job I think documentaries with farmers in France and wine makers in France are abandoning the farm some of them are committing suicide because we think farming is not enough to make ends meet some are selling their farmland and then going to other businesses not too long ago we have also seen farmers and Pakistan and Germany backing on a strike and then occupying the city centre because they think farming is no longer able to guarantee them a decent living the same challenges we are also facing in Nigeria and water these are some of the reasons why farming has collapsed in the rural area where most of the young people who ordinarily should take off farming from their parents have abandoned the farm and migrated to the urban centres to look for blue colour jobs in the different centres and in the different city centres if we are going to be attacking and young hens of farming we must make the rural areas a liveable electricity in the pipe and good network of roads and internet policies except we do that we will continue to face the kind of challenges that we are having now in the area of agricultural production so it is not just the bandages it is not just the insecurity farming all over the world because it declined not many people want to take to farming because it is bigger, it is dirty it is no longer as lucrative as it used to be so some things are right you must provide incentives for these farmers in form of subsidies and make life comfortable for them wherever they may be or wherever they might be in their farming and now it's not just a matter of not being able to farm even the products that we have the drivers are threatening to stop transporting because the food smuggling federal government intercepts 141 green trucks drivers threaten strike over attacks now you know that food trucks are being attacked people are looting the food everything is connected and unfortunately the minister of agriculture came out and said that what happened in Abuja for instance is not hunger is criminality and all that yes a lot of people me inclusive we will not say people should loot other people's properties no matter what it is people should not steal and all that but hunger can lead a lot of people to desperation and things like this will happen now if the food if the truck drivers down their tools and say they are not going to transport this food anymore that is another wahala as we would like to say it in Nigeria I don't know very very serious wahalas because the whole economy almost short-term because those trucks the activities are the bandwagon effect or what happens in the other sectors of the major economy for example it is not just food attacking the transport they also use food items they also use this stuff to bring down some other things down south besides those truck drivers and all that also buy diesel so if they are not working diesel they also have motor boys and loaders and water and some of those market movements and then children whose life are dependent on the activities of those truck and truck drivers and all that as much as possible find a way not to get the truck drivers to really pull out their trucks because if they do the consequences, I mean the situation in the country today will get worse and I am also sorry to say the Minister of Agriculture shouldn't be talking the way he is talking we should be sensitive to the plight of our people but very less on gas should not be a justification or a leasing from a looter to begin to steal but then we must be careful that not all people will be able to uphold their morality not all people will be able to uphold their ethics not all people will be able to say look in spite of this anger I am not going to do anything that will make me fall far of the law and because of that we should not even push people to commit crimes for them to be able to make ends meet say for example our young people who are doing who are trapping, who are fleeing the country they go by all these rickety boats across the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Northern with the need to get into Europe and America in fact of a better life do you know when you interview some of these people about the areas they are taking they will just look what is the value of my life in the country why don't I even take the risk of going by rickety boats to Europe and even the process I have heard in the Atlantic Ocean and the fish is with me those fishes will become fatter and when they become fatter when some fishermen kind of get them another they will sell them and then my people might be one of those people who will benefit from eating those fish and they get to the planet and what have so these are the kind of fatalities these are the kind of thinking that you will find in the minds of those who go to government warehouses who lose those folks that are taking food items from one part of the country the only man is an angry man talking about religion, talking about belief so somebody so much is empty now I am full of you know it is a very very futile effort I saw a story a few weeks ago where robbers entered a house and all they took was a bag of gary a pot of soup and so many other things they left the phones, they left every other valuables they took the pot of soup they took the rice that was cooked and was put in the fridge and everything that they could find that was food and left but these people are classified as thieves but you will find out that they are thieves for a reason stealing is still bad in any ramification anyway we have also seen a situation in some of these areas too in which people go out even when they are cooking their pot of soup or food before they turn around some other person has gone to do pot of soup that is on fire food is being cooked and all that they empty the pot and disappear into clean air and these are some of the reports we also get in some of these places and all that to protest or to so if a man goes to commit burglary and all that he took the pot of rice and then the pot of soup and then maybe a bottle of water you can almost guess that the reason why he has gone to do the burglary or to steal and lower is the out of a serious hunger and this strength we shouldn't push our people to that level there is no person even to beg because the person you are begging might even turn around to beg you too because the situation is biting everybody now 767 manufacturers shot down in 2023 that's according to manufacturers association of Nigeria that's another story on the punch aha isn't that a frightening perspective I mean isn't that a frightening story my brother when setting on that company shot down within one year we have to take out the numbers of all those who are shot down before that time and since the beginning of these 2000 and of course some other companies are shot down the implications of that is very big one, people will lose their jobs isn't it one, production activities go with the living of those companies and what are they what those who sell raw material and provide something to those companies and others are also out of jobs and what are they so these are very very frightening specters and what are they that the local government the state government and then the federal government require to sit down with experts and they are a great people, great minds in our universities in the business communities and others who can provide solutions to some of these problems and the commercial companies also came out and think at the 37th birthday ceremony that Zimbabwe had once witnessed the kind of thing that we are witnessing now that the federal government should go and talk to Zimbabwe and find out how they were able to manage the situation those are the kind of things I would recommend to the local government as well but even without looking at Zimbabwe I am convinced that Nigerians have enough expertise we have enough men and women who could provide solutions immediate solutions to some of these problems but that is going to be possible but that will only be done if the political parties, the positions and others will also have to claim their greed they will have to claim their greed if they don't claim their greed nobody is going to stick out its net because we don't have enough to do hmm ok let's move to other news still in the punch newspaper we have Ami Chief dismisses coup calls, demands good leadership you know they have been this talk about the fact that they may be a coup and they are whispers all around the country and all that so he has come out to say that there is nothing like a coup coming up he has dismissed that and his calling in the same breath for good leadership I just like your comment on it honestly speaking when you look at our history of the nation when you look at our trajectory as the people you also look around the world and not we want to agree with him that the coup is not a solution to any society or any country more especially our own problems generally given as a consensus why do I say this most time the military men don't have the expertise to run society the way they should be run say for example the development of the giant strike that Nigeria made in the Second Republic look at the giant strike that Nigeria made in the Second Republic look at also the giant strike that was made in spite of all the challenges that are not it's 1999 the politicians in spite of their decisions that are not not they are more proactive some will look in the last few years on what they are about also in a factualized area with giving us a two way line lines now they have also invested in mass policies in terms of banning a budget and water in spite of the fact that the military had more money when they were in power and water they never thought about this program imagine when the country had the money under the military they had done on the grand transportation system they have expanded the road all over the country they had invested massively in agriculture and then they had invested in water it wouldn't be in the kind of dilemma that we have today so to the extent that the military are not trained to manage the strike they don't have the expertise most of their programs are hard talk hard talk a program a design program on a natural basis so it is the usual setback for anybody to be thinking or to be encouraging the military to come back to power in Nigeria because of the crisis that we have in our country how can we even say that they are not part and parcel or that they didn't contribute to the problem that we have in our country they are not they cannot totally be incorporated from some of the problems we have in our country and to the army chiefs that is what they always say most of the army chiefs are not the problem it is the anchor fact look at the group that are taking place in the Tairi job they are mainly inspired by the middle class officers the lieutenant colonel the captain, the lieutenant and the middle and water in fact the army general has an example of this on the keg of gun powder because if it is the anchor fact if it is the middle class officers they are not spared the consequences of the coup d'etat from the junior officers and water the solution to this problem is for us as a nation to make sure that we begin to find immediate solution in terms of unemployment in terms of hunger in terms of insecurity and water the officers have benefited immensely from the civil democracy system that we have in the country that met with the senior officers to make sure they will not be dreaming and they will not be playing and they wouldn't want any coup d'etat because they are also beneficiary of the stable political system and regime that we are more important than the two when they leave the service it is almost them as governor as senator, as house of rest member and have inspired and become president two of their men have become president within the last few years so there is no justification whatsoever for any of them to begin to live their life to carry out the coup for whatever to pander to the details or to the pressure that are coming from selfish and greedy and unquestionable and people who are not thinking too deeply as to get the consequences of what they are promoting okay let me just say this last one bring this to your attention on the Guardian newspaper there is a small headline the background is red let me describe it well alleged bribe alleged dollar bribe court stops Ganduja's probe you are a lawyer so I'm just telling you as a lawyer and I'm asking you things like this why do they even happen where law is the profession of what the court will see most times we read these things in the paper and begin to become judgmental to condemn people and others when the fact of the story we don't even know the truth of the matter is the court does not base its decision on speculation on what is published in the newspapers and what are the and then on some of these videos that could be produced or that could be made using artificial intelligence and some other methods of producing concrete facts everything the court will be able to to get whatever judgment whatever decision and then whatever solution I mean a resolution you want the court to be able to do I am sure that the court will not have stopped the proof without some facts without some evidence but we will not stop this there is always the opportunity for either the U.S.C.P.C the I.C.P.C. over the special fraud units in the Nigerian police to appeal whatever decision has been made at the lower court the high court to the Supreme Court look at the case of the former let me just ask you because we're running out of time let me just ask you we're running out of time let me just ask you this what is the rationale behind stopping a probe when you can just discharge and quit that person and say he didn't do any wrong after everything this is a probe we are finding out whether you did it or you didn't do it and you're just stopping it so why not let it get to the point where this person will be pronounced not guilty that's my problem you know when you are also doing a probe there are steps that you have to follow you have to begin to do a probe for probing sake even the process of doing a probe you have violated the fundamental rights of the person you are probing of course the court will hold the probe I give you an example look at what's happened in the incubator government in Mundo State and Nora I'm sorry to say from people who appear to mean to be in a hurry to take over from Makhre Zulu and then the petition all stopped deputy governor becomes the governor wanted to quickly organize an impeachment proceeding against the governor at Nora and then I think they approached the court too they approached the chief judge of the state to constitute a panel Nora but the chief judge I think refused to do it and then they also went to the court and then stopped the move to impeach the deputy governor who is now the governor that the court was able to leave him in the line that this is about quality it's not about that the man has committed any infarction is that people want to stop him and want to stop them from becoming the governor or they themselves want to see the governor and that's why they stopped in the case of Gandhiji the park has seen not our disposal it is not impossible that all the requirements all the steps that those who are probing Gandhiji should take that is why the court is stopping the depot because if you violate the fundamental rights of the decision and the president is trying to probe him because he wants to bring him to justice of course the court will not find for you because he's patient if you want to do this okay let's be patient that's a good way to wrap it up this morning on of the press we'd like to thank you Mr. Kola Wole for coming and sharing your thoughts on the program today thanks for having me take place another lovely day it's been a lot of fun in Legos we didn't know what it was because Legos has become very hot it's everywhere okay we've been talking with Mr. Tunde Kola Wole a legal practitioner here in Legos state we were looking at the headlines we'll take a short break and when we return we'll be looking at a hot topic which focuses on women stay with us


I've been feeling a little bit less motivation over the past few days, a bit of a time of transition, as I have to adjust to a new way of thinking. One thing that I realized today is that something about how I was thinking was, it was too much like, here's this goal that I want to get to, and here's this future state that I want to achieve. But then really, what's the point?  So really looking, life cannot be treated as a race with a finish line or shooting at a goal, because the goal is simply the end. Now, we could say that the goal is to live a good life. The goal is to live a meaningful life. And yet that's not a goal that we can ever say is achieved until the end. It's something that would be renewing, and it's something that we have to do continuously until we eventually are not living anymore. So I realized that the way I was thinking about my self-development and my work was, it had become too linear, too focused on shooting forward into the future towards a goal. And ultimately, if we take that too far, it is ultimately meaningless because there is no end. And when we get to the end, we are simply done. So it left me wondering, what's the point? But now as I see it, really it's better to think of self-development as moving in circles or perhaps spirals, we could say, rather than shooting forward like an arrow in a straight line towards a target. We move a step towards a target, and then we wake up, and then we find ourselves in a new state. So it's not this full trajectory of climbing the staircase towards this goal in the sky, climbing the mountain, although that's one way to look at it, but it's not the full picture. There's no final top of the staircase. There's no top of the mountain. And if we make, if we focus on that as the goal, what's the point? If we say, okay, well, there is no top of the staircase, no top of the mountain, and the goal is to get as high up on the staircase, as high up on the mountain as possible. But then still, that doesn't really capture life, because then, okay, we're just trying to get as good as possible by the time we die. It still is trying to shoot for this end point, an end point which would just be the end of life. So instead it's like, we can look at little goals that way. Every little goal is like a mountain or a staircase. We move up towards, we take certain small steps in a certain direction. We make a certain achievement. Then we find ourselves at the top of that mountain, the top of that staircase. And then now we're in a new place. And then we now have new goals. There's a new mountain. In essence, for every time we climb a staircase, we find ourselves at the bottom of a new staircase or at the foot of a new mountain. Maybe hard to picture that as a real mountain that every time you get to the top, you're actually at the bottom of another mountain. But in a sense, it is like that. So that when we achieve something, we become a new person. We change ourselves as a person and then we then find ourselves in a state where we can then move on to take the next step in our development. So that's what makes it like a cycle or a circle. Because every time you finish, every time you achieve something, you get to the end of that phase, but then you're at the beginning of the new phase of achievement. You achieve the next thing and then you find yourself the beginning of a new phase. So every time you make it to the top of something, then you're at the bottom and the beginning of something else. And you can be looked at as spirals because even though it's going in a circle, each time you could say it's getting higher and higher even as it goes in these circles. I think something that's really exciting about this way of looking at it is that we cannot even see the full picture. It's not like each little step, each little achievement is a measurable step along the way towards an ultimate goal. We make the first step, we achieve something, but then we are in a state where we don't even know what the next step is. We are at the foot of a new mountain that we can't even see now. What we see is the objective now. When we make that first step, that first achievement, we're then in a new place, a new person, so that the next achievement, the next mountain would be something that we could never have predicted. So this journey of self-development is not moving towards some kind of path we can understand. It's making these changes as we go. But then as we go, we discover new things that we could not even imagine. So what it means to have this, to be on this path, by the time we're a few steps further down the path, we will be somewhere that we never could have predicted or even imagined. So thinking about it this way, to me, certainly makes this whole experience, this whole task a lot more like an adventure. And it's a lot more, it's really endlessly interesting because for every change we make, for every step that we improve, we don't know where we will end up next. And it's not just some kind of defined getting better till we die along some set path, but rather building ourselves, growing, moving into new realms, discovering new realms of what's possible. And I can't wait to see what will be that next staircase, that next mountain, that even now I can't even imagine it.


Is this the cleaning service that I've called? Yes. So look, I'm just calling around. I've got a bit of an emergency. So which things do you need to get cleaned? So look, it's basically just the lounge room and the bathroom, right? And there's quite a bit of blood on the floor. And then there's some sort of, I guess, a trail of blood leading into the bathroom. Yeah, OK. So when are you looking to get it done? Look, as soon as possible. What's your latest is? Look, as soon as possible, really. But before we agree, how do you dispose of waste? Because I do have some waste. And I was just wondering if maybe you guys could take that away from me and maybe burn it somewhere or something. Mate, it looks like this is sort of a murder thing. A murder scene. Look, mate, I can totally understand why you might think that. I am offering quite a large amount of money. We don't have availability, mate.


And in business news, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Godwin Imefeli, says that Africa needs to finance our home growth. Imefeli, who said this at the Africa Finance Corporation Live Infrastructure Solutions Summit held in Abuja, said that over the past two years, Africa had suffered crises, each with profound implications for the economies of the continent. Imefeli, represented by his deputy and board chairman of AFC, Dr. Kingsley Ubirra, said the COVID-19 crisis with its lockdown triggered a recession in most part of the world and that the crisis injected a fresh urgency for Africa's rise in self-reliance on the manufacturing and processing of essential products.

Hey guys, and welcome to the first ever episode of Everything Science here on YouTube. On today's episode, we'll be looking at these little guys. The HMS Beagle landed on San Cristobal. No other rocket even comes close. Who's at fault for these fires? One mile is 5,280 feet. At approximately 10 billion light years across its longest length. Face reveal in three, two, one. That's a little bit of a joke. I actually used to be in my videos on camera, but especially because so many of you guys are so new, you might not have even seen my face, so I figured why not set this up as a face reveal. So yeah, like 1k subscribers. That's a really big deal. At first when I was thinking how did I want to make this video, I was thinking I'd do it in sort of my normal style where I'm not on camera, kind of speaking into the mic, but it honestly felt a lot less personal, so I started writing a script for the video, and then that too kind of felt really impersonal. So I figured I'd just kind of talk into the camera and kind of explain about the channel a little bit where I think it's going, and especially a big thank you. It's a little funny, and I'm probably going to say I'm way too many times to steal. God. So I started the channel about 18 months ago back in January of 2019, and I always knew a lot about STEM and science topics, and I did a lot of work in education. But as you could probably see, my videography skills and my storytelling skills really weren't that good. So for a long time, I didn't really get any views just as I tried to make my videos better. So I still remember when there would be months when I got maybe 100 views and like 10 subs versus in the last month alone, we've gotten more views than in that first whole year. And in the last few days alone, we've gotten more subscribers, more than 200, than I did in the whole first year that I was doing YouTube. So the growth really means a lot. And especially just because I remember when I never got any views and when comments were so rare, I really value them so much that that's why I'm always responding to them because I'm really just trying to connect with anyone that watches my videos just because I'm so thankful for it. So I just want to talk a little bit about the future of the channel and where I see it going. So obviously a thousand subscribers is a really great benchmark. But there's still a lot in the future of the channel.  And right now where I'm at, I'm actually in California, right outside SF, one of the most expensive places to live in the world. And because of that, my setup, I can't really be on camera and make it nice, which is why I stopped being on camera. But eventually I would like to get back on camera with a set, sort of like what PBS does or maybe a little bit what SciShow does, just because I feel like on some topics that comes across better, but obviously I want to feel that out with you guys. There's also a lot of ideas as we grow that I want to have like working with sponsors to do giveaways for various things. Some ideas I already have are having some of those like 3D metal poster prints of, I don't know, maybe like rocket launches or something that I can give away on camera. The good news, bad news is about that, usually for them to want to work with me. The channel does have to be a little bit bigger. So hopefully as we grow into the rest of the year, hopefully we can start doing some giveaways and some really cool things. Besides being on camera, there's also, because I'm still in school, I go to UC Berkeley, I have the potential to interview some really interesting people that do a lot of really interesting research. So if that's something you guys are into, that's definitely something I'm looking into being able to set up. But again, those things are easier to do kind of as the channel grows. We've also got some other types of videos in the works. One specific one is quick bits. So there'll be normal videos except it'll be shorter, like 2 to 3 minutes, covering either quick topics or questions fans submit. And the reason those are nice is because some topics just really aren't long enough for let's say an 8 minute video. And the other thing is they'll help us keep up production schedules and let us make more videos for you guys rather than only doing one a week. We can try to get up to two a week with the quick bits and actually we have some of them made. So here's a quick preview of what's to come. In all, they can travel up to six miles away from the hive. But after they fill up on pollen, they don't retrace their steps on that a regular path. But instead, find a straight line back to the hive. But how do they do that? How do they know their way back to the hive? According to TV, the polygraph is a fail-safe way to get to the truth and find out when someone is lying. But in real life, they fail to live up to the hype. The lie detector would be better suited as a fear detector. From the Carolina Reaper to the dragon's breath, adventurous eaters are constantly on the hunt to taste the next hottest thing. Some have even tried to drop a pure capsaicin, the potent chemical that gives peppers the heat. But the hottest chemical we know of isn't made by pepper and it isn't even really a food. It's a compound called resinapherotoxin. And trust me, you do not want to eat it. And like I said, I also have one more year of school left. So to make sure we could keep releasing videos during that time, we've actually worked over the last two or three months to create a sort of backlog of content so we can keep up our production schedule. So here are some of the thumbnails for some of the videos to come. There are more of them, we don't want to give everything away. But hopefully you see a couple of the videos that really peak your interest and you're looking forward to. And just know that those videos are coming out in the near future. So yeah, I guess kind of the main thing is, well, what's a little tough for this channel is, at least right now, YouTube doesn't recommend that many of my videos on YouTube search. So the main way I grow is actually by like channel pages, which is kind of unusual. So that's people coming to the channel a lot of times by comments, because a lot of you guys know you've come to my channel with my comments on other channels. But so until, especially until I get more YouTube search views, it's a little harder to grow right now. So if you're ever wondering what's like the main thing you can do to support the channel if you like the content and want to see more, is just share the videos with your friends. Like my last video was my best performing video. So if you really want to see the channel do well and grow, it would be a great idea if you share that video with some of your friends so we could get more subscribers. That would help us with having higher video quality, having higher video production. Producing more videos and doing some more of those things like collaborations with other big YouTubers or with sponsorships for companies, just being bigger kind of makes all of those things easier. So if you really like the channel and want to just keep growing, then be sure to support the channel and share with your friends. And one other thing I want to say just about small channels in general, you know, it's really nice that a lot of people watch my videos because compared to a channel, let's say with a thousand subs and a team of editors, let's say my lighting quality might be a bit off. My audio might be a bit worse. So there are downside sort of lower production quality to smaller channels. But there's also the upside of one, you're more likely to be able to talk to us, small creators, for instance, like I respond to all the comments. But also multiple of the videos I've made were because someone in the comments recommended them, so you're more likely to get interactions. The other thing that's really cool is you can be part of the channel from the ground up. So besides just in the future, you can say, oh, if we ever get big, we were there from the first thousand, the first 2000 subs. The other thing is you can be part of kind of shaping the channel into what you want. There have been people in the comments that have suggested ways to improve the channel that I've adapted and used. So I always think that's kind of cool. You can be part of growing the channel into whatever you want it to become. So if you're interested in that, definitely stick around. And you know, the best part about these videos, I still can't run any ads because I don't have enough watch time. So you still get ad free content. It's a pretty good deal. And yeah, it's it's been a it's been a fun ride on YouTube. And, you know, I'm really looking forward to seeing where it can all go. I'd really love to do this potentially one day as a full time job. And even if by the time I graduated college, just a year from now, if we were big enough to do that, that would really mean a lot. So as I always say, have a great day and remember, there's always. More to learn.


The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal filed by Ola Di Pukwo Adibutu challenging the majority judgments of the Court of Appeal that affirmed the election of Dapo Abiodun as Governor of Ogun State. A five-member panel of the Apex Court led by Justice John O'Carroll adjourned for judgment after the parties argued and adopted their processes. Adibutu is asking the Court to set aside the election because the Independent National Electoral Commission had initially cancelled elections in 99 polling units and consequently ordered fresh elections in those polling units. The electoral body declared Abiodun the winner with 13,000 votes while the votes from the cancelled polling units were 44,000. It's sometimes often applied indiscriminately both to governorship, presidential and legislative forces. But the Supreme Court is developing now that since the Court has been clear about what we require to score to become a governor, a subsidiary instrument like Electoral Art or Regulation should not override the Constitution. So I think that is where Session 24, with this issue of inconclusive election and negation about whether to return or not, would then be identified, analyzed against Session 179-2 of the Constitution. So let's wait and see how the Supreme Court addresses the issue. Confidence in the judiciary in this country is very high. They have done what is right, they have held the rule of law and they are not being used by spurious appellants to change the will of the people. The will of the people has been upheld to date and we are sure that the Supreme Court will also uphold the will of the people. You get notified about fresh news updates.


So today I'm excited to share with you my latest Amazon must-haves. I can't wait to get into this with you. However, you're going to see me presto change all my clothes because being the goober that I am, I forgot to record an intro. So I do have on a different top right this second and I'll make sure that that is linked below. I'll give you a picture here really quick of it so you can see it. But yes, we're going to do an Amazon haul starting off with some fashion. Don't forget that there's also a very easy numbering system. I'll put up a number next to the product. I'm talking about then you can go down in the description box and find that number and next to it will be the product with the Lincoln and any colors or sizes or anything you might need like that seems like everybody enjoys shopping that way. So I hope that you do enjoy it. Let's get into that right now start out with the shirt. The shirt is an eyelet just a knit shirt. It's so cute though. I bought it in the blue and I bought it in the white and it's so comfortable. I bought a medium. So it's a little bit tighter, but I like it with jeans. It looks really cute and it's so easy to us got this little flutter sleeve on it the neck and then the rivets on here. It's so so cute and then my jeans are just the Levi. I think they're called signature or something like that. I can't remember. I always want to I would say the wrong one. I'll put it up on the screen so you guys can see and besides that I decided to go really trendy and wear these little platform shoes that are tennis shoes. I never thought that I would like anything like this. They're just as comfortable as the flat tennis shoes that I've worn for years and years. I'm going to come closer. I'm going to show you the jewelry while I'm a little bit closer. I'll show you how high those are. They're so cute. They've got this mesh right here and yeah, I've just have been having all kinds of fun with these. I usually wear sketchers every day of my life and these don't have any art support or anything in them, but they're comfortable and I can wear them all day long and I just thought they were fun. They might be too young for me, but I don't know I'm feeling pretty young today. So I really like these and then my earrings every time I wear these, you guys like them. I love them. I believe they come in gold. This is the silver. They're just a beautiful bright light catching heart hoop. Perfect size for me. Everything was perfect about them. I love them and then I remembered that I did have another heart necklace. This just has a little riding stone in the center of it and then it lays on its side while I'm standing up. I also want to show you this jacket. This jacket is so cute when it gets to be this kind of whether you almost need a transition jacket. This jacket is super light. I love the color on it and I love that it has the strings right here that you can pull and it will be you know, just kind of hug your hip a little bit and then you could cuff it if you want to or if you want to you could wear them down. Whatever you wanted to do love the color on it. I love everything about it. I just think this one is so darn cute and it just looks like I've got, you know, spring on today. So I really like these pieces and I think you will too. I also want to show you this little cross body that I have. I love this purse. It's just so cute and the perfect size and I've been talking about not wearing such heavy purses because of the way my shoulders and my neck are and this is just a cute purse. So let me get up closer and I'll show you the braiding and the detailing on it. So here is the purse. It's so cute. It's got all this braiding right here all the way across it and on the back. It's got a pocket with a zipper that's kind of nice because you can put your ID in there if you need to and then it's just a single pocket got a couple of like cell phone pockets and a security pocket back there. It's got this cute little tassel with the little fuzzy ball on there and I just think it's really cute and yeah, this is one that I've been loving too. Okay, we're going to scoot right on into the other stuff. I got this for my husband. Does anybody else's husband or significant other use a ton of body wash? I swear I buy my husband so much body wash and he loves fragrance anyway. He's one of those guys that likes to smell good, but it's insane the amount of body wash that he uses anyway. This is Old Spice and this is Gentleman's Blend. It says Eucalyptus and Coconut Oil Scent and it says 24 hour lock in moisture body and face wash. So I got a four pack of these.  I'm gonna have to buy more, but he loves this. He really, really likes it. It's one of his favorites. So anytime I see a good deal like that, I go ahead and I pick one up for him. Then I got a little carried away because I saw this gal on TikTok. She wasn't using these, but she was doing like body. Oh, she was using one of these. That's what it was. This is a dry rub brush for your body so you can do dry brushing, which this one is great because it does have the little plastic nodules in it. So you get a little bit firmer of a massage. I my skin gets a little bit unhappy when I use something aggressively. So I have to be careful with this. The other nice thing about it though is it brings all that blood up to your the surface of your skin. It can actually help keep your skin from sagging also because you're bringing a lot of blood there and then it'll build a last in and it's just beneficial. It gets rid of toxins and you move your lymphatic system and that's what these do. So this is separate. This is a dry brush that I love and then that's what these are and these are huge body tools for doing. This is like the Gua Sha little tool that we have only it's for your leg and for your rear and for your back. It's so great to be able to have something like this and no, I promise it's not a weapon. It's not a weapon, but I do like this.  It just it feels so good to be able to do this on your neck everywhere and it's just a really cool shape too because it can contour. You know, it can go into the contours of the body wherever you need it to just feels really good when somebody is helping you with that and then this one right here. These all move and I got this for cellulite on my legs. Now we will see as time goes on but I have heard that that can be a lot of lymphatic drainage kind of caught up. Of course, it's fat. I have fatty legs. I have since I was like 12. I've had really big thighs now. Don't get too aggressive because I did cause a couple of bruises. I think I was going a little bit too ham on it. So yeah, this is really nice too. It's also really nice to be able to have somebody again roll your back. It just feels really good and I have been enjoying doing it on my calves and my thighs. So I cannot believe I lived without this. This is a steamer and I wish I had some water in here because I should be showing you this heats up so fast. I mean you turn this baby on and like that.  I don't even own an ironing board anymore after this. It's gone. It's also got this little tool right here, which is good for Velvets and Velors and things like that. So that's good and I love this thing. It really does it quickly on my last one that I had the water dripped really bad. What I found is that you need to let it heat for a second before you go in onto your clothes. Don't worry about the water dripping though unless your clothes will stain with water because some clothes do but I haven't had anything happen like that. This is so fast. It just it heats up really quickly and when you turn it off it really quickly cools down and it's very handy and very portable. Not going to take up any space in your suitcase. So yeah, I've kind of fallen in love with that. I think it's a great tool for anybody to have and this. Okay. I was totally influenced to get this. This is for your dry hairspray. Now they did say that this little cubby right here is to where you can put your dry hairspray can. I can't fit any of mine down in there. They're too fat but the curve on this goes right onto your head and so you spray in right all of your dry shampoo and then you can go in after it's dried a little bit and you know kind of work it really good in and it does it works really good. I know I know it's a little gimmicky but I was like why isn't anybody else thought of this like curved thing for your head and even just to kind of massage it feels really good. So yeah, I was totally influenced to get that but it really works good with dry shampoo and yeah, I'm a sucker for something like this. So yeah, bought it. Okay. I think that this right here is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. These are four different atomizers for perfume that you can throw in your purse, right? But what's really unique and cool about it is you have the whole perfume thing. What you do with your perfume is you take off the little cap thing that goes right there and then you just put the bottom of the perfume sampler on there and then it fills in to the inside of this and has a little reservoir window right there. So you are seeing what you're doing and you fill it up. Now I'll tell you why I got it. I have a lot of perfume. I try a lot of products. You know I do some I like some I don't. I bought these to be able to share with my family because you buy a bottle like this and I don't know about you but I like all different kinds of fragrances and so you buy a bottle like this and it's like that takes you forever to get through it because you have so many others that you use but if you share with your friends and your family then they get to enjoy it and they get to see what they like to. I just thought it was so cool. So I every now and again I'll get one out but give it to my daughter to my mom my sister or my friends and I just think that this is a really great idea being able to put it into there. That easy is the great idea too. So these little atomizers are great. I think they're just perfect for me to be able to give something just really spontaneous. Oh, I got one of those in my purse. Here you go. So that's all kinds of I think I have shown this brush before but I'm not a hundred percent. I think the brushes that I showed the last time where the do care brushes that were the two set. This is a new one. I think well it's new to me. Okay. Let's just say that you guys made it may or may not have seen it. So this this side right here is really fluffy nice dome for powder and then this side I thought would be great for either concealer or for buffing out foundation. I really like this. You can also use that for contour and then buffing it in if you need to with a stipple action there. I love dual sided face brushes. I'm not big on them with your eyes. I don't like that at all but I love it when it is a face brush and this is super soft and it's synthetic and yeah I like to care as a brand. I think they do a really good job. So this is one that I was really glad to add to my brush collection.  I don't know what the situation is but we've got a situation of some sort with my hair. I don't know. I recently was watching Penny pens miss skin care. I swear I mentioned her in every video lately. She was talking about this macadamia natural oil deep repair mask for your hair. Okay. I've got this and I put it away and because I had other ones that I wanted to use up for you know whatever reason and then I got this and I got it out and smelled it and it's heaven. Oh my goodness. I know some people can't handle fragrances but this one it smells so good. It's just a very light very kind of floral smell but at the same time it's got a few notes of fruit in it and it makes your hair smell fantastic but better than that it makes your hair super soft and it doesn't weigh it down. I love this. I'm trying to grow my hair out a little bit not necessarily on purpose just because I haven't been wanting to go to this lawn and so just been letting it grow. The other thing that I've been doing lately is really letting my hair rest in between using my hot tool my hot tools on it whether it's a curling iron or whether it's rollers but yeah this is great. It's a big huge tub too. It's like 16 ounces. So it's a big tub most of them are 8 and I really really love this. It's really a good one and I can definitely recommend it even if you have fine limp hair like I do. I mean my hair never likes to cooperate. So definitely if you're somebody that has even coarse hair this is going to be a great deep mess. Okay. I wanted to show you this mini blender for your cup. I'll tell you why it would be great to just do you know individual coffees or whatever you want to do but I keep this up in my room and I keep it by my collagen because for some reason the collagen that I have right now it gets a little bit lumpy when I put ice in there and you would think that I would learn to you know stir it up before put the ice in there but I never think about my collagen till after the ice is there. So I've been using this and it stirs it up perfect and I don't have to you know kind of figure out what I've just bit into in my drink. So I really like this. It comes in a bunch of colors very inexpensive kind of powerful to I was really surprised. So if you do need to use it in your kitchen it's going to be great in your kitchen you could probably even do some soups with this if you're somebody that does that but yeah it's kind of nice to be able to have one that is just small enough to go in your room or whatever you need for it. So that one is when I recommend and then I also want to tell you about two things of vitamins and I've mentioned them already but I'm going to mention again because I think that these got me through feeling better after my operation and so this has been like all over social media. I mean it is the social media craze is this vitamin multivitamin essential liquid morning multivitamin essentials Mary Ruth's it's non GMO vegan dairy free gluten free zero fat sugar free family friendly energy beauty and immune support. This one is the fruit punch one by the way I don't like the raspberry one fruit punch is pretty good. It says it has improved formula with better taste and texture and this is it really has been giving me some really great energy. I also feel like my hair is growing like crazy like I was just talking about but since I've been taking this I just I felt better it just helped me bounce back from that surgery and that surgery was really hard on me. I think this is my second bottle it tastes okay. It's you know when you take liquids sometimes they taste so nasty. There's no way you can do it but it tastes okay. It's not you know I wouldn't want to have a drink of it but it's good and so I really recommend that one and then I want you to do some research and if I can find the article that I read about trace minerals and how important they are to you. I will definitely find that article and link it below. This is a 90 day supply 96 day supply of trace mineral drops full spectrum daily liquid drops for hydration energy pH balance and digestion and all of those things has improved on me since I started taking this. I really do feel like both of those products together are really helping me with a lot of energy and feeling a lot better. So definitely check those out if you need a good vitamin or mineral. I do want to talk about these and I have several other colors. These are from CoverGirl. These have been out for years but everybody over on TikTok has all of a sudden decided that they're going to lose their noodle over these. These are frosted lipsticks. I mean honestly what we did this like in the late 70s early 80s we were the frosted lipstick gal. Everything that is old is new again. I guess and these are so pretty like that's just a frosted mob color. I'll make sure I list all these down below for you. I really kind of have been enjoying revisiting my youth and checking out these lipsticks again. I love a really good glossy look on my lips anyway. So a frosted lipstick is just like one jump from that. So I really have been enjoying these. I think they're really great. Also your girl that never wears false eyelashes. Something happened when I went through all of that earlier this year where my eyelashes aren't as nice as they've been. Now they're starting to come back and they're starting to get a little better but I have been occasionally and I don't wear false eyelashes because I don't think they're really great for the help of your eyelashes. But I've been wearing this half lash occasionally. They do kind of make you feel like your beauty routine is elevated just a little bit. So yeah, I've been kind of liking these. They've been kind of fun and I wanted to tell you about them and the reason I think that I've been able to wear them and they be okay is I also found a pen glue. You can paint it on your eye and it's glue on there and then you can put these on. It's eyeliner. It's so good. So I'll make sure that I list that below for you too. Yeah, I've been enjoying for the first time in my life. Having a little bit of false eyelashes. I don't have one right now but having a little bit of false lashes just to, you know, make me feel a little bit better because my mascara or my eyelashes or something. It's not cooperating very much with me lately. That is my Amazon must haves. I hope that you did enjoy seeing this today. I want to say thank you so much for being with me and I want to ask if there's anything that you have seen in clothing or makeup or homewares that you have just been loving at Amazon right now. I would love to hear that from you.  How'd they find that? So if you guys have anything you want to recommend to me, I would love to try it. Thanks everybody so much for being with me and I'll talk to you very soon. Bye bye, my friends.


So we're here with Optumon. Hi, so who are you? Hi, I'm John Groten with Optumon who worked here at CES 2019 And what are we looking at right here? So this is a new product for us. We're unveiling it here at Optumon I'm here at CES. This is a our 4k ultra short-throw laser based new projector Get about you know being a laser light source has a couple nice benefits first is that you know It's up to 3,000 lumens and brightness but what laser really brings is phenomenal color represent color reproduction and also means You know you don't have to ever replace the there's no lap to replace Well, we've done a few very unique things with this product first off You notice the front here is this is a mesh. This is really a soundbar. So, um, you know So being ultra short-throw means you have a very short distance from the projector to the into the screen in this case We have a hundred inch image and we're about you know barely a foot from the from the from the projector So the soundbar sits here in the front and it projects the sound back out to the room Or to the audience that you're sitting with what's the quality of the sound? So we're not tuned yet, but it's phenomenal opt a few years back Optumon purchased an audio company called new force and this will be our first new force Audio by new by new force integrated projector Force right there. Yeah, sorry. These are the specs of the audience for now Yes, so it's a couple-way driver with Dolby digital to Output response time aluminum full range drivers have been added to it You know, we've also added a number of smart functions to the product it as it is we're already you know We already have a few things that are Amazon Alexa ready. We've also our Google voice ready We've put some hooks into this for your smart home so for your IFT TT capabilities Something we can demo here would be to turn the volume all the way up. We've kind of set up a Little bit of a demo here where we're turned the volume up and we have a ring doorbell over there. That's ready to go So So we have the sound. Yeah, so we turned the sound up So so need for some bar So I know it's loud I get that But let's say now because the hooks we have put in here for IFT TT Ring doorbell And it automatically muted it so we've set this up to to be fully integrated into a smart home type of environment We'll be having some other products specs and features available in the coming weeks and coming months We'll be shipping this during q2 and we're targeting around a three thousand dollar price point What's the brightness? So this is a three thousand lumen projector and How does it compare in terms of sharpness of the angles or distortion and stuff compared to a regular Projector to have some short throw like this. So it ultra-short throw space, right? You know, you're shooting up and it is just a bit of a steeper angle to come up to get to this You don't want the projector obviously to be interfering with the image So you have to have some type of an offset angle. We do shoot a bit steeper We're actually using a light which gives us a benefit Means we can have an ambient light rejection screen so when you get from the side You're going to notice that there's almost no, you know, there's no drop-off There's no hot spotting going on with this and what this screen is doing is it's taking the light that comes at that Steep angle and bringing it out to your eye. Whereas any other light it's it's not it's it's not bringing it across So it's like coated with some specific material. Yeah, if you feel that it's almost got a like a lens effect There's almost like ridges on this if you can hear that. Yeah, it's kind of hard to hear I get it, but I have to be careful. So does that mean it's a little bit expensive? Yeah, we're working on it. Isn't that in some screen-touch. So no, we're working with some screen manufacturers and we're not announcing anything yet though But we're working on that. But how about the focus the lens is made so that the whole screen is in focus? Yeah, there's a difference in distance. Yeah, so from distance there's some focus you'll have to do But the idea being with ultra-short throw that it's an easier it's a set in one place and play projector All right. Cool. So Hassan it's possible to make this will be during q2 for the in the availability in the US Towards the end of q2. Cool Okay
