Hello everyone welcome back to another AI video this one we're going to make logos in chat GPT. You'll see here an example I've got the Starbucks logo I'm in chat GPT for we're going to drop that into chat GPT for with the vision functionality enabled as you can see here and then we're going to drop into Dolly so we're going to go into here you'll see up the top left here it says I'm in Dolly we'll drop in the information that we get from chat GPT and we'll get some logos just like this this one's really really good actually we're then going to take that logo we're going to drop it into a vectorizer which we will do for free and then finally if you just look in Adobe Illustrator here I've got this vectorized logo that we created all of that step by step just all you need is a chat GPT subscription all right I'm going to show you how to do this take about 90 seconds let's go all right so the first step is we need to get into chat GPT for if you're not in GPT for if you're in 3.5 for example you won't have access to this so make sure it says chat GPT for and that you can see this little paper clip here that allows us to attached images now I'm just going to click on that paper clip here right where it says message chat GPT and I'm just going to grab a we're going to get a logo so in this case we're going to use the Starbucks logo I've got a nice copy of the Starbucks logo and presto there we go now I'm going to go ahead and type this in I'm just going to copy and paste it in and I will put a link in the description below but what it needs to say is I want to generate generate a logo similar to this one described a prompt I would use in dolly 3 to achieve this I'm going to go ahead and it enter now if you don't want to make a logo based off of a current logo and you just want to create something independently that you've got an idea you don't have to go through this process it's superfluous but just in case you wanted to make something based on something that's out there there we go so here we go let's see what we got here's the prompt it says create a logo featuring a stylized symmetrical mermaid with long flowing here okay awesome I'm going to copy this so I just command C command V or just right click copy now on the left side you'll see we're in chat GPT now I'm going to click on dolly and if you don't see that just go to explore and under explore you're going to see dolly so make sure you're in dolly now all you got to do is command V or control V if you're on a PC and copy that in when you do that it's going to do some thinking and then it's going to create some images for us or some logos once I've got those created I'll show you how to modify them in chat in dolly pardon me and then I'll show you how to vectorize them all right so here's what it's given us so far and I you know what it looks pretty damn good I'm just going to click on them here I'll click on that one that's a simpler version and then this one's a little more I guess there's a little more to it I'm a little more ornate but whatever it doesn't matter let's go ahead and use the simpler version just for simplicity sake so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to click on that image and I'm going to right click and I'm going to save it and I'm just going to save it as Starbucks demo something like that and save it to the desktop now if I didn't like this or if I want changes to it let's say I don't like the colors I'm going to go for image one change colors to blue and white whatever it doesn't matter you can go ahead and actually type in the types of changes that you want it to create so I'm going to go ahead I type that in I'm going to come back when it's done and then I'll show you the final step all right welcome back so here it is and you'll see that it's got some blue colors in it and it's got a nice off white color so you can actually make changes to it in Dolly just using text now maybe that's not quite good enough I'm going to right I'm going to click on it I'm going to save the image as and then I was going to put Starbucks to save it to my desktop now here watch this I'm going to go to a website called vectorizer.ai I will put a link in the description below for this as well I'm going to click on it and then here it allows you to take an image or a logo or a jpeg or anything like that and turn it into a vector so I'm just going to go ahead and click on my finder I'm going to grab that image so I don't know where it is what do I call it Starbucks too there we go watch this I'm going to drag and drop it in here and it goes through a process it uploads it then it processes it and then we can download it directly and it will be a scalable vector graphic which is basically exactly what we want so it is a vectorized logo so here we go here's the original here's the vectorized result I'm going to click on download and then boom we can go ahead and make some changes here but I'm just going to leave it as is and then you'll see it's downloaded here up at the top and I'm going to go to my downloads folder I will click on it right here and there it is it says .svg meaning it is a scalable vector graphic and if you want to test it and check it you can always just go into Adobe Illustrator or whatever program you have that you can just see what type of whatever you use to create vectors or modify vectors let's go ahead and do this correctly Curtis click on it drag and drop it into Adobe Illustrator and then presto when I open it up here under layers you'll see that all these paths and all that there is done this is a vector graphic that is literally all there is to it thanks for watching

We are having our influential product leader, Parkha series, and today I had a pleasure to invite gel and who come from Falcon X, which is a leading crypto trading company. I'm very excited for her to share with all of you guys regarding her experience, how she actually transitioned from a trader on Wall Street into the very high-tech and crypto trading industry. So let's welcome gel. Hi guys. Hi gel, how are you doing? Hi guys, I'm good. Thanks Nancy for inviting me.  Awesome, awesome. So gel, so as you know, for the influential product leader, Parkha series, we'd love to bring in all the leader, product leaders in different industries. So can you quickly introduce yourself regarding your background, what industry you're in? Yeah, yeah. So I grew up in China. I came to New York for graduate school as a financial engineering. And after that I joined Morgan Stanley. So I've been working Morgan Stanley for almost seven years. At first as a risk manager, then I was a trader. I traded at these swabs and indexed through relatives. And you know, trading the same product for four years was kind of boring and repetitive. So I started looking for my next step in my career. And I determined that product management will be my next career move. This is awesome. Okay. So for people who doesn't know Falcon X, can you give them a quick introduction? Like 30 seconds overview regarding what is Falcon X? What do they do? Absolutely. So Falcon X, we are serious to the crypto startup. We just raised our funding in May at eight billion valuation. We have a bunch of really credible investors like GIC, the Singapore Sovereign Fund. And we're trying to build most of the technology events, the trading platform and prime project business in crypto. So similar to Morgan Stanley and Goldman in the traditional asset space. We're essentially, you know, trying to be the best trading partner of all the like SM managers, hedge funds and all the institutional clients. This is amazing. Another side tip, when Jill started into Falcon X, I was very excited. I was like, this is the one because they are like Morgan Stanley for crypto industry, for people inside the industry, you guys know, it's like very prominent major company. And even if they are still like seriously startup, they are still startup, but they have been profitable the whole time. They actually do not need the investor money. Just somehow they just like, they just want to grow faster with a billion dollars evaluation. Very, very excited for you to join them. So Jill, you brought up very important tips regarding when you got started, you are somebody who works on Wall Street as a trader, trading traditional like finance product. And now you're a product manager in a very like high tech and sexy industry which is in the crypto web three industry. So can you tell us what your challenges in advancing your career into product management in the crypto trading company? How it get started with the top three challenges you faced? Yeah, so I think for me, the biggest challenge is to find the transferable skill of trading. And trading, it's kind of specific as you are expert on a specific product and a specific market, but it's hard to transfer that skill in other industry. That's why you see a lot of people work on the Wall Street on the same job for like five years, 10 years and 20 years. Because it's hard to switch around. So it really took me a long time to find, what am I trying to grow skills are and what industry that can be beneficial to. Other challenges was, once I sort of find that product management is really interesting is something that I want to get into. I had no idea of like how long that would take, what sub industry I need to go into because I thought self driving is super interesting. Internet of thing was also super interesting but I didn't have relevant experience. So I didn't know, oh, should I go to FinTech? Oh, should I go to another really interesting industry? And all on that the profession takes, I had no idea. And once I sort of, even when I like a zone into a specific area, the product management interview, it's a lot. They're like a behavioral interview of product design, product execution, product strategy, they're so a lot. And it's, I just didn't know like where to start. I see. So Joe, actually you faced lots of big challenges just like other of our audience. And so can you share with them how we conquer those challenges one by one? Let's start from your first challenge regarding identifying your transferable skills. So that one I probably took a lot of detours is that took me many, many months. I, you know, read a lot of articles on different kinds of careers and I just randomly saw an article about a banker transitioning from, you know his banking job to product management. And I thought, oh, that's really interesting. And I started linking to like a lot of product managers does. And as I learned more, there are actually a lot of transferable skills from my trading job because as a trader, I essentially work out with our font team or tech team to build trading applications. So similar to product management in the sense that I specify the requirements for the tech team to build a product.  So why don't we talk about your second challenge regarding which industry you need to go to.  How you conquered the second challenge? Absolutely. So that was actually really a frustrating period in the beginning. I'm like, okay, if I want to do the internet of things like what are the things I need to learn? How long does it take? It might take like a year. It might take two years. And I didn't like my trading job back then. So I just wanted to get a job as soon as possible. And that's, I think where your program really helped me.  You just identified that think tech will be an area where I can leverage my existing experience. And I think if I want to get a job offer as soon as possible, that would be the best route. And turn out it's a really good strategy that I was able to focus my effort on the think tech companies and focus my preparation on the think tech companies. And I got my first offer within three months. This is amazing. Three months. We love this. Now let's also talk more regarding the crypto trading direction. You know, think tech has traditional think tech such as Bank of America doing checking account. I found this very boring personally. Okay. It's like whatever watching this it work for Bank of America maybe it's a couple of changing jobs. But there's also other industries such as like web three industry and you happen to truth niche down into trading inside of web three. So tell us how you make those choices. Yeah. I would say there are like two reasons, maybe three reasons why I chose a crypto company instead of traditional finance. First reason is as you said it's probably a little bit boring but the other thing is still culturally that product management is supporting function in advance. It's still very sales focus and trading focus versus at a tech company product manager to the center of a tech company. So I wanted to go into a more tech driven and product driven companies. That's why I decided not to go with the traditional banks. And the other reason is I wanted to work in a faster growing startup versus a well-established traditional banks where cause I've seen Morgan Sonny that our growth in our current business has been static. Well, in fact, you're actually getting paid higher than fan pms right now which is back to the original like directions you pick. You pick like high growth area and now they also happen to like be able to grow very quickly and fast growing and being able to actually reward the high performance in company with higher salary than fan company. I believe this like fantastic choice. I love this so much. Totally, totally. I mean, a lot of people ask me, oh, if you get a pay cut or something, I think that's the answer I didn't. Actually, much more. With my expertise, it's probably higher than my trading golf, actually. Yeah. Even the cash base is also very high based on my knowledge for all the offers we negotiate. So congratulations. So faster and also getting paid more. So when I learned that there are, it's just the product management to research so complex. I wanted to have a community where I can bounce ideas to with and I can do log interviews with. So when I learned about the program, I looked at other programs as well, like a product school. But when I learned about your program, I just liked the fact that it has a really bounding community and also having very structural courses that tell me how to prepare behavior questions, how to prepare all the other difficulties on execution strategy. Interviews help me a lot. I would say overall, I think your program was really instrumental to my interview preparation process. Thank you so much for saying that. Okay, guys, we didn't pay her to say anything like this, but if you're interested in PMX... Yeah, that's true. Cool. If you guys are interested in PMX Center, you can go to the description of this video and step one, register for our free masterclass and also submit your application to meet our head mission and also whoever selected to join the program to join our communities and you are able to get started, jumpstart your PM career. Now, Joe, let's do this. I actually, I'm very curious about your shift. So lots of guests, we bring into the Influential Product Leader Parkup series. They have this sudden shift that usually they are flat and all of a sudden they hit a shift and then they create a takeoff, right? So what's the most important shift that push you to the next level, especially as banker on Wall Street, probably you're probably the only female trader, I guess. So what's the most important shift that push you to where you are right now? I would say in terms of my career and transition, the breakthrough moment is to niche down on the crypto trading area. Because I quickly learned that, there are other areas within the Fintech company are really not a good fit for me, right? If I go to Payment Company or Interest Tech Company, my past experience are not relevant to them. So sort of a detour to my career versus the crypto trading company is really value my trading experience in traditional finance, especially at a big bank, Prime Broker at Morgan Stanley. And they really value my knowledge and understanding of the financial markets and the financial products. I think that's one of the reasons that I can, I run for really quickly at the current company. I'm already leading really important meetings and projects and I think people think I'm adding value. So this is honest, I think I can't find a better fit where, this is not only, is not a detour for my career, even though I made a transition, I changed my career, it's sort of a booster to my career even because it's perfectly combined in my past experience and what I'm interested in, what I'm passionate about, which is the product management. This is fantastic. So now I wanna ask you this question, I believe all the audience will ask this question regarding, you know, currency, crypto industry in starting from May, the price just dropped and tank, management things going on. And people are being wondering, is it still the right industry for them to join as they're still building like high-tech product? So what's your take on that? And also why actually when you joined them, actually joined them last month, actually when you joined them, crypto market has already went down. So what's your decision-making process? I think there are two things that are only disparaging that are really important. First is I truly believe in the big thesis of the digitization of, that will transform the financial industry. So I believe that, but it's gonna take many years, even decades to achieve that. So with a big vision in mind, I don't think it's a bad timing to enter the markets. And the second reason is you gotta remember there are many fair markets in the, not just in crypto industry, in tech industry as well. And with that happens, what most tech companies do is, instead of expanding and a growth, and they just focus on building the product. And that's what we're doing here as well. Even though we're seeing a lower trading volume, we actually ramp up our product building process, we're launching many new futures, launching new products. And the third reason why I enter this industry now or chose this company was, as you said, Falcon X has never lost money. Even during the bear market, so Genesis lost a billion dollars, we are pretty much in this case because we have a very rigorous risk management as a trader. I think that's one of the biggest reason why I chose Falcon X, just because we don't take access to risk that's not our business model. We offer great technology products to clients and that's why we were able to charge premium on our clubs. That's why we interpret that was like, this is the one, remember? It was like, they are the one. Amazing, very good. Awesome. So now, so tell us more, maybe people are still thinking about joining the crypto industry and actually there is a stats out there, actually 68% of the fortune-frisher companies were born during a recession. And actually like was a commonality between Google, Apple, Netflix and Amazon, all those companies, they were born during recession as well. So your company is very, very smart regarding their product strategy. Let's build the most important and most like adding value of product during a quiet time and also managing those risks. And that's why I can help you guys become the number one premium trading companies within the website industry. So that's very smart. I love the strategy behind it. Awesome, cool. All right, so let's do this. Let me ask you this question. So given that everyone is like, now everyone want to join Falcon X right now. So what's a day today look like at the product manager in Falcon X? Okay, so it's gonna cliche to say that not a single day is the same for product manager, right? So I guess the first component, obviously this is the product design and working with engineers on like what needs to be built. The second component, it's understanding what clients requires. And it's actually really interesting for OTC derivatives because a lot of the backend systems that we just have to build, no matter what client needs. But I quickly realized I cannot be disconnected from the clients because clients can tell me where the market opportunities are and how fast we need to bring the products to market so that I can make trade-offs decisions on, okay, do I want to build this internally? Do I need more engineers or do I just buy a product? And choose to be told, my week two, the second week I joined a company, people were asking me to make a decision on whether to invest in a company or buy the product from a company, which is a huge decision. But the fascinating part of this job is it gives me a big authority and decision-making power. And it's also like a new learning for me. I've done like sort of product management, pseudo product management more than I've done before, like in terms of working with engineers, but I've never made an investment decision or product decision in terms of like do we buy or build, which it's a classic question that even big companies face. This is amazing. Actually, you're actually really leading this new methodology, like focus on doing product management correctly during this quiet time. Actually, this happened multiple times to our students. Actually, Anastasia joined Uber and he's doing the same thing. When Uber was growing like crazy, he basically said the same thing, they don't have the formal product management methodology once he joined, he did like organizational overhaul to say, hey, let's just like redo how product management is supposed to be done in Uber. So now as an influential product leader, can you share with the audience what advice would you give to other people who want to jumpstart their PM career? I think I would maybe just start what you're going to figure out if this is the right career for you because it requires a lot of investment. So definitely do your soul searching, talk to people, read articles, use our network. And after you have that determination, you really got to put together a plan for yourself, like what are your goals, which similar to me, like what industry are you trying to get into? It's impossible for you to focus on machine learning and then self-driving and then out, or then fintech, it's just impossible. So you got to have a focus on yourself and have a plan for your job searching career. I really highly recommend your program, which from the very beginning on helping people identify what direction they should go into, what their strengths are, how they prepare the interview, have a drafting a plan. I think that's really helpful. And the third thing is you can complete a lot more as a group than by yourself. So having a community is really important. Whether you find a community through, Nancy's program, your friend community is through other programs, or through like linking or networking, it's really important to have a community to go through the journey with you. This is amazing. Thank you, Jill. And actually you mentioned communities, actually we have free communities. We have free LinkedIn group and also WeChat group. We're going to put the links in the description of this video. My team may also put some like barcodes on top of us. You can join and also people inside of PM, PM excited communities and we have very tight communities, actually the most engaging PM community. And that's why we have those kind of monthly alumni panel and also like influential leader podcast series for people to grow together. So very excited to see your success and growth. Jill, thank you so much for joining us. Awesome. So any last tips for everyone before we close down the podcast? Yeah, I guess I will just put my offer out there like for people who need some help who want advice on, you know, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn and I'll be available to help people. Awesome. Thank you so much for giving back to the communities and helping other to grow and also get out the traditional banking. Yeah, for sure. Awesome. So I want to transition from banking as well. I'll have one. Yeah, awesome. So thank you very much, Jill. And thank you for joining us.

All right, have a good day. See you guys. Bye.


So the question of the day is should you or should you not focus on money? If you don't care about money Now most of you will probably find this question kind of weird But for me it was very true for many portions of my life Some portions of my life It was all about the money like that's all I could think about and I took huge risks and Sacrificed relationships, you know girlfriends friends comfort safety security for money But other times all I wanted to do was you know serve people help people Bring value maybe rest sometimes all I want to do is just rest so if you're in these periods where you really don't care and anything That's related to money Should you still focus on it? The answer is Do you care about eating good food? Do you care about getting educated every day and Investing in yourself Do you care about traveling if you care about these things then you probably need money Now if you have a source of money Like a helpful family member Or just some arrangement you have or maybe you're Very well traveled and you know how to travel without money You know, maybe you have such amazing skills That you get what you need you get the healthy food Now you get a chance to help people you get a good place to stay, you know basically whatever it is you want Then you don't really need money. You don't have to focus on it but if You do care about these things and you do need money to get them You should focus on money

There's been some news Further to potential Reversing of some of the reopening plans that have just come out from the UK government as well in the last half an hour the risk-off sentiment that's sparking a bit tone into General safe havens gold not really buying it at the moment, but T-notes Definitely elevated here on the back of this news up seven ticks now and the Dixie is rallying Fairly aggressively the dollar index now up through 93 50 again of nearly 1% So both these major currencies now euro dollar and top left and cable, you know really negative setup now fundamentally for cable The general kind of reverse course of general risk appetite The market had had of late, you know We've seen the reversal in US equities at the end of last week The state's coming back in after Labor Day holiday seeing quite an aggressive selling day on Wall Street The Nasdaq once again the tech sector underperforming and now you've got this negative news coming out of AstraZeneca Just to run through a couple of the headlines here. This news only just broke a few Literally a few minutes ago The nature of the adverse reaction and when it happened were also not immediately known although the participant in Question is said to be expected to be recovered or to recover the spokesman described the pause That they've now as the company outlined as a routine action Which has to happen whenever there is a potential unexplained illness in one of their trials just to give you some numbers here There are currently nine vaccine candidates in phase three trials AstraZeneca is the first phase three COVID-19 vaccine trial known to be put on hold so far If you're interested on my Twitter account, I've taken a bit of a snapshot here of the known drugs at the moment Which are currently in stage three or phase three of the development program This includes then the Oxford University and AstraZeneca drug which was seen as the outright front runner here So this is going to be some significant moves not only for the overnight Asia session But also for the reopening of UK European markets in a few hours time Here we've got also the current status of the likes of Moderna therapeutics and BioNTech and Pfizer Probably the other two major competitors here for the Astra vaccine trial The actual Astra one only began in late August so it still is relatively early Now on a separate note the other thing what we've seen Just come out a short while ago is the chief medical officer in the UK Professor Chris Whitty and the scientific advisor Sir Patrick Valance have agreed that action is needed Urgently after a number of positive cases rose steeply in the UK Now this is a chart of what that looks like what we're looking at here is the number of infections per day in the UK and from last weekend We've seen quite an extreme increase in cases A lot of people have been talking about the young generally lower age demographic around 17 to 21 that has seen that accelerate Again as the lockdown has gone on people's adherence to these rules coming under somewhat question And therefore we've seen a renewed kind of latest outbreak here emerging in the UK And we've had similar things happening in the likes of France and other countries in mainland Europe as well What this has resulted in is the UK have come out and made quite a big U-turn once again Boris all of the other senior cabinet officials remember at the weekend were calling upon people to go back to work However, they're now saying that new lockdown rules that will go into force on Monday the 14th of September Will now max social gatherings to six people Remember a lot of these were up at around 30 people in the previous rules Also applies to indoor and outdoors private homes applies to pubs and restaurants One of the things here as well that's also just come out out of the telegraph They've released this by Twitter But it's going to be their front page story in a few hours time when the papers hit the printers And that is that ministers are considering imposing a national curfew a national curfew After hospitality venues in Bolton were ordered to close between 10 p.m. And 5 a.m.. And this comes after that news I've just said the slashing groups allowing us to associate from 30 to just six people now the north Generally in Bolton in that area specifically has been one of the real hot spots of localized lockdown But just the notion an idea of a national curfew if this gets worse if we start to see these numbers materially move higher and we do start to see quite aggressive more nationwide type activity rather than localized measures This is probably the worst case scenario that you can imagine for the UK right now Compounding that with all of those things that we mentioned in our briefings of late You've got the Brexit kind of soft deadline looming in just a couple of weeks And we're still miles away in terms of negotiation as it stands at this point in time You've got the expiration of a number of stimulus measures that were put in place when initial pandemic hit in March The biggest one being the furlough scheme and so lots of different things here all coming at once and the flights of quality Helping the dollar and the fundamental narrative here for sterling just getting hit once again And now it's just having a look at the cable chart. And if I just finish on that Cable has come under considerable pressure in today's session and once again in the overnight session It's looking heavy once more. We've broken 130 now in cable So if we look at cable, where we're trading we've broken that area quite key area of resistance that was seen around 132 in the futures We've just gapped down now to the low that was the support and 30th and resistance on the 28th Any break here then the key area would be keeping an eye on and I do Fundamentally think that whether that happens in today's session when we reopen on Wednesday morning could possibly be the case the key area look at here is 128 That starts to bring in then some of that key levels that we were looking at going back to the summer in June of this year The other thing I'm looking at then is US equities. It's going to be incredibly interested to see how this pans out once UK and Europe come back into the market if it does remain heavy You know one of the things I was just looking at here from a technical perspective Is that in S&P we've just flirting around the 50 DMA here You can see I've got an annotated chart of a couple of different things So let me just move my my camera for a moment so you can see everything So this is looking at the S&P 500 on a daily continuation. You can see we've had this big rotation out of mega captech But a continuation from Thursday Friday and the recommencement following the US return from that long weekend And here we are at the 50 DMA So it'd be quite key to see how we will react here around this level any further push to the downside thirty two eighty four fifty looks good As an area of potential support that would be the high before renewed China tensions really started to Take place towards the back end of July So yeah, that's it guys just wanted to jump on very quickly talk about those breaking stories again from a News point of view the biggest one AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine study has been put on hold Due to its expected adverse reaction in participant in the UK. This is one of the front-running Clinical trials that was ongoing in stage three of development. You know, is this then One of another catalyst to add to some of the bearish sentiment we've seen developing in global particularly US indices of late remember the speed and shape of the economic recovery really depends on How COVID performs and how the governments react and we've seen this in the UK Which would be economically negative and then also how quickly does a vaccine come to market, which is the Astro news So again breaking news just out Thought I would share it. It's getting towards midnight now in the UK So I'll let you guys get some rest and I look forward to updating you in a few hours time in the morning Okay. Have a good night


Jigarh Utomi and others form a coalition to oust APC and the PDP. Plus, the PDP may be trying to jettison its zoning arrangement. This is cross-quality, and I am Mary-Anna Poe. Ahead of the 2023 general elections, some Nigerians of diverse professional backgrounds converged to express lack of confidence in the nation's two popular political parties, the ruling or progressive Congress, the APC, and the opposition People's Democratic Party, the PDP. They said the quest to rescue Nigeria from imminent danger informed the idea to form a coalition which would serve as a platform to galvanize Nigerians across political spectrum to free the country from its current woes and give it a fresh lease of life. This does sound familiar, doesn't it? Joining us to discuss is political analyst Biodon Shoumi, political technocrat Daya Kendi, and former member of the all-progressive Congress State Working Committee in the river states, Shoumi Eli. Thank you very much gentlemen. Good day, nice to have you here. Yes. So I'm going to start with you, Mr Shoumi. This is, like I said in my intro, this sounds more like something we hear. Every political cycle where the politicians, you know, start speaking about changing and rescuing the masses, which I hate the word masses, but they always talk about, you know, changing the fortunes of Nigeria and always pointing to either their political party or some initiative that they have. But then they're having questions about the third force and what particular change it can really bring and if it can really stand a chance against the two major political parties. Yes, it's becoming this one song. Every election cycle we tend to hear more progressive elements coming together, wanting to form a new platform to challenge the political parties in Nigeria. There are two issues involved. One is their frustration with the existing structures in the country. One, either the remaining political parties are too weak to use as a platform to challenge or the two ruling parties are failed to make the necessary impact in terms of developmental life expectations of the people and therefore they feel so frustrated by it and then choose to look for a different platform where they can express not only their own political ambition at the same time, you know, strive to try and develop or achieve whatever they think they need to achieve in terms of development. Now, you then ask yourself why a new political party, why not one part of the existing parties? But when you look at the existing political parties, one thing which is common in all is that many of them, if not most of them, are actually formed by different personalities in the two major political parties. They are the ones who are calling it in expectation to use them as a cycle if they have a disagreement. I'm sorry, are you saying that there are people in the APC and the PDP sponsoring the Third Force and this might just be a distraction of sorts? No, no, no. The existing political parties, we have more than two political parties in Nigeria, registered political parties. Many of those registered political parties in existence to be are bad behind the scenes and financed by members of the existing two political parties. So that is where they may feel frustrated by it and think of having a different umbrella. But again, the argument could also be set up because we have parties like National Conscience Party, some one or two or three political parties left ideological limits, which you and I know were formed not necessarily by people with money bars. Now, how do they come in and then take over those political structures? They may not be allowed to do that. So because of that, they choose to, at every election, try and come together, present a different platform. But at the end of the day, nothing has always been coming at all. Whether this one will be different or not, we don't know. But given the experience in the past, many of these characters were involved in the formation of new political parties in past political cycle, electoral cycle. When you look at the only difference this time is that you have people like Atae Ujjega now involved. Otherwise, last year, it's like a swanson. It's becoming a Baba's chair. So with Ujjega's involvement, we don't know what has changed or what has changed. It remains to be seen. Okay. Now, Sobea, you are a member of the All Progressive Congress, the ruling party. And I mean, it's easy to say that your party merged like this. It's a combination of different political parties to upseat, on seat, I beg your pardon, the ruling party at the time, which was the People's Democratic Party. Now, I remember when Professor Ujjega initially came up with the idea of the Third Force and spoke about the eels of the Bahari administration and all of the law points. The APC government struck back saying that he was only pushing his presidential ambition. And I'm wondering what's wrong with that. If the APC has succeeded by becoming a coalition of sorts, why can't the Third Force be sane? Thanks for having me. First and foremost, I would just say it is between the rights of Professor Atae Ujjjega and the others to form political institutions and vie for the political office of their choice. At the core of this, he is trying to get the national estate fixed. And every Nigerian has a right under the constitution to be more party or move into another party or form a coalition with other people to pursue their respective aspirations. But the question will be this. For how long would you have this game of rocking chairs? If you have, for instance, from the Second Republic onwards, when we had the NPN, the NPP and the UPN and the sorts, imagine for once that there's no interruption and we'll build on those parties till now, like the AAC South Africa, who have institutions that can deliver on the manifestos of the parties, not shifting grounds every four years, every election cycle. Some people break away on the form of new parties, tell Nigerian same story, and then move on and then they're unable to deliver the next four years election cycle, and then that team breaks out. I had to be able to say maybe with Professor Atae Ujjjega, this might be a bit different. I disagree. One or two smarter legs would respect them, who are behind this? Probably want to find a credible face. When I mean credible face, I'm simply saying that Ujjjega from his background has asked the National President who kept me at home for one year with National Strike. I can't forget that. And then went on to conduct a national election that was deemed to be free and fair to Elias and my party won. I want to excuse myself from sounding too upbeat about it. That doesn't look like why I'm giving credit to Ujjjega. I'm saying that because I'm a party woman. Well, I'm really waiting to hear where this goes. Yeah, but people are saying that next to the one that was conducted before that produced this chief MQA bill in 1993, June 12th. That election appeared to be a leap forward from the one that Professor Bastangeau did in 2007 that brought about Professor Yeraduwa. Remember Yeraduwa himself had inauguration a little to that fact that election that brought in power was stated. And the promise reforms, which reforms he carried out are finally going to finish by then. But I'm saying it naturally. Some people are smart enough to bring Yeraduwa on board this movement to give it a credible face because name them. Osman Bugadze was one of those who led us in the new PDP after the PDP to form the APC. He has his man fighting there as well. In the Salahke family. Father Ahmed who was immediately passed away. It's that team. And then from that to Tommy, who I know is an APC member. I don't know why he has left the party. But he's there. And then who he gave? These are old names. Who knew that? And they know us too. What we're saying is people who set a national agenda. This is where I want Nigeria to be in the next five years. The next 10 years. 15 and so on and so forth. And then work within a party to deliver those promises. Not to shift political parties every four years cycle. You create confusion because we don't have ideologies. We don't have principles. I'm thinking. That's all right. You're talking to the viewers, but I'm wondering. I because it sounds like you're preaching to the choir.  And you're talking about the rotating Baba's chair and the fact that we're doing the same thing over and over again. Well, I thought that the APC promised that they were going to bring a change of source that they were going to change the situation of things in Nigeria, including the electoral process by fighting corruption, by bringing an end to insecurity, by making sure that the economy is boosted. So if we're still talking about the same thing in 2021, and we have two more years on in the cycle of this APC administration, can we say that the APC has failed? And maybe we should look for another person to sit on that chair, that rotating Baba's chair again. No, it will be very fair to the APC to come to that conclusion with respect. But in great suspects, that would be the height of, either of fairness, if you like, for the right word. The APC met a colossal disaster on the ground. And in trying to rebuild... Which they promised to deal with. What made that challenge is Baba was soldiering on. Sorry? You said they met a choice of disaster. And I'm saying they promised it. They saw the disaster. They knew about it. And that's why they decided to run. So it's not supposed to be news, is it? We're not trying to... No, we're not trying to do for the responsibility. We're working hard. Baba's lives since 2015 are working hard. And just as some of those problems, we probably underestimated them. And of course, I'll forget, in this country, we have a country where people play politics for everything. But I've seen people who want to give the APC a doggy bad name to destroy it. Some people have actually magnified the problems that were met.  We're not the same. Some elements in the APC came from the PDP who agree. But that cop progressed into the APC who also were in PDP for now, but are chasing the ideals to make them deliver the mandates. And that's what makes a difference. If anybody says he wants to challenge the status quo, let them come forward with ideas. But I'm saying that this idea of having the core politicians break out of it and then doesn't make sense. Whether we're building institutions, we should build institutions not just moving political parties. Let me go to Mr. Dayakayade.  And the question on the average Nigerian's mind is what difference will this Thet Force make? We've heard Thet Force, the first time we heard about this was some people said that the former president, Lushe Gwabasanjo, was pushing it. We've heard it again and again. And now we have the likes of Patutomi and Professor Patutomi. We have Professor Jayga and other people fronting. Again, what is the ideology? Is it going to be different? Is there anything that Nigerians can really hold on to in this Thet Force? Or should we just look at it as another political gimmick? Yeah. Thank you very much for having me on this platform to discuss this very vital issue that is evolving in our country at this moment in time. You see, my own satellites have started about three or four weeks ago when Professor Jayga came on air to say, look, GDP has disappointed us. APC is also disappointing presently. Why can't we in 2023 look at where? And then I asked a question, where are we going to look at? And I advised Professor Jayga as much as I expected himself, can you please come up with a template on how to execute this theorem we are coming up with. And today, honestly speaking, I'm so happy with what is coming up with. Now, what is going to change from there? Number one, let's just look at the people constituting the last meeting they had. Professor Jayga, let us start from Professor Jayga. We knew that Professor Jayga was the first chairman of INEC that will conduct a conclusive, not inconclusive now, as it happened during MKO that did not allow the results to be announced and all that, a conclusive elation that is adjoined worldwide as fair in this country. We knew that. Since after leaving the office, I have monitored him. I have seen the way it has been going from one country to the other as a gas elationary. All right, let us leave that. Look at Barajie that my other brother mentioned the other time. Yes, in less of people after PDP to APC. But why did he leave them there? Because they solved the problem that was happening in PDP. Even to a coffee DP man, he said, look, we cannot continue like this in this country. And he left for APC. And what happened in APC? I could remember he gave a press conference sometimes ago that look, he want APC there, not to come in with mercenaries. Because by the time they bring these mercenaries in, they will not be able to handle it. And that's what we are having now. Somebody who is so bold to come out to say that. So I will say that you can see that is somebody that has the interest of the nation at heart. Let us go to Professor Pat Utomi. We have all known the antecedent of Professor Utomi in this country. We knew him when he was in Volkswagen. We knew all he did there. Even though at the end of the day, the system collapsed. The industrial sector of the country. But thereafter, what has he been doing? I could remember his Pat Utomi gang there that I was having with some other people like Ayotereva and so on. Thereafter, he also moved. I said, look, let us do this in this country. We have all seen that. Now, seeing these people coming up with a group, even though they apply to transfer to a party, it's not a party, it's a group. You could see that these are political enigmas in this country that work to a very large extent. I said, okay, let us work with these people and see what can happen. Because between you and me, angels will not come from heaven to come and get our country. I was about to ask, the movements from party A to party B in search of, for want of a better word, greener pastures, seems a bit tiring. What about staying in those parties to try to effect this change? Because you told me already, you've given us the adosie. But if these people that you call strong men and people who have enigma, why can't they stay in those political parties and effect change from within? Moving from one party to the other solves nothing, does it? Because the APC and the PDP or APCA, they all seem to be one and the same. And we see them crisscrossing every election cycle. So starting with a third force, really, will it change the crisscrossing? Is there going to be ideologies? It's not just about the persons, but what effects, what change can they effect in reality? Two things in this now. Two things anybody can see vividly in this. Number one, you can see what happened to APC in the first day. Everybody knew then that APC is a party of straight-back fellows. And that was why they couldn't pick who will be here or who will be there. At that time, all they were looking for is any other person except Jonathan. Any other person. So there was nothing like a state wall, there was only like a framework on what they are coming to do. That's number one. Number two, you could see that most of the parties on ground now, what ideology are they holding? Or what tenants are they built? But look at this group that is informed to become a party. I'm not a member yet. I'm only following the personalities there and following everything that they are doing. Look at them. You can see there's a rescue mission on a rescue mission. And when you are going on a rescue mission, it entails a lot of things. That is to say, you want to change the paradigm. It is high time we change the paradigm of political process in this country. We don't want to show whereby we have money bags. And then we say, yes, we pay. It is you, Baba. He's saying you should be here. He's saying, no, we want people that have character, capacity, compassion, and ability to govern our nation. And move us to where we want to be. Let me go back to Mr. Xiaomi. I'd like to quote Professor Atahiri J. Ga on something that he said, because we also know that the issue of restructuring and true federalism again becomes a word or a mantra of sorts when it's close to election season. So lots of people keep talking about restructuring. But when it comes down to it, we never see anything done about it. So even the restructuring addressed in any way. Now Professor J. Ga said, and I quote, Nigeria is one of the worst models of political accommodation of diversity as well as power and resource sharing. He admitted that there are no perfect federations or for that matter, true federalism. He said, the better framework and structure for the management of diversity, power, and resource sharing is in a federation. The more stable, peaceful, and socio-economically developed it would be. Now again, we see the issue of restructuring and true federalism being brought up. I struggle with that. What is true federalism? It's either it's federalism or it's not federalism. It's either we're restructuring or we're not restructuring. But here we are again listening to the same things that we heard in 2015 and we heard it in 2019. And we're in 2023. Why should we pay attention to these people? Well, in the first instance, I need to explain one thing. People like Degan needs to get involved. I would also make a declaration. I've known Degan since my university days. I know we belong to the same left movement. I know his orientation and thinking in those days and still till now. I knew him as the vice chancellor of BUK and all that. So I can say a lot about his thinking, his perspectives and all that. But how did they come to this situation? When the APC came in, we were campaigning for change. Everybody embraced the issue of change. So many people thought maybe the problem is strong leadership. Let us team up and change the situation. Know that Jonathan was no longer acceptable at that point in time. He also agreed with Dr. Diocaldi that anybody brought Jonathan. I think he was the one that said that. But the fact of the matter is, after the election, what have we seen? We have seen it was Adam Sushiomole da Fosere when he was the national chairman of APC. He said just to wave the broom and your sins will be forgiven. So we saw how gradually those facing corruption charges started moving into APC. And we gradually saw how those cases were being resolved. You know, the records are there for people to see. So we have the recent latest report in the person of Femme Ithranikadi also facing ACC charges. So what would come out of that? We don't know. We had Oji Kalu before him. You know, when you have now had the same characters who we've been pointing accusing fingers at, suddenly sleeping on the same bed, you know, with the ruling party, it then becomes laughable. There is no way how people like Jigar or Utomi or Prouf would not feel that there's something wrong with APC. I think we need to understand from that angle. It's not a matter of justifying APC or PDP. For me, anything but Junatan at that point in time was correct. Junatan did not help matters at all. It was correct to have changed Junatan. Also, currently, with the state of the nation, where we have been led into almost, you know, think of collapse, where we are faced with existential threat, where we have seen how ants etch men can be allowed to move into our country from neighboring countries to terrorize our local farmers. I think it is time for a new thinking. So maybe because of it, some of these characters came together, you know, to form a new project called whatever it is called. Rescue Mission. So as far as I can see, there's a need for it. We cannot have two political parties in a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria. One of the errors which we have made in the past, and these are done by nonprofits, is to make sure that you can have independent candidates so that even if you agree between your own political party, you can step out and contest. I can give you a very good example. In the UK, Martin Bell, who was a journalist had to come out to challenge for office and he was elected because he was found acceptable and the candidates of the political parties were rejected. So we have credible examples of... Well, I mean, the new electoral act bill seems to have an accommodation of sorts for independent candidates. It's just, will the terrain allow for it? That's the other question. Yeah, that's one. When you have independent candidates, that is one angle of it. We are here to see it being implemented in practice. The second point is on the existing political parties.  In a federation, that's laughable. There's nothing wrong in I saying I want to form Magudo political party. And my interest is simply Magudo. And then you go and campaign, if people vote for you in Magudo, the party is representing the interests of people in Magudo. And that's all. There's nothing wrong in me saying I want to form Shokuto State political party. And my interest is just Shokuto State. That is what they call democracy. That is true federalism. But currently, before a political accession can be registered, they must show that they have a national character. Even I might require you to have offices in to other states. So these are some of the things that should not be happening, which are happening. So when people talk about true federalism, they are actually referring to a situation where all the important ingredients and elements of federalism in democracy are present. As it is today, Nigeria is a unitary state, you know, which we called federalism. I'm happy some issues are not being challenging for the issue of stand beauty, the issue of hate. The moment you get to the root of that, you begin to realize that a new structure will likely emerge. Some people argue we don't need to collapse Nigeria. I agree with that. But we need to restructure Nigeria in order to get to where we want to be. Again, another question is, is it those who brought us to our knees that are supposed to restructure Nigeria? That's a big question that we should ask ourselves. But let me, because we're almost out of time, so again, because you are of the ruling party, the president recently was quoted to say that he does not want to end his tenor as a failure. And to quote Professor Atahiro J. Gah, he said, what we have on our hands today is a disaster. We know where we're coming from in this country. We know the average Nigerian, particularly the youths, they look ahead, and it's difficult for them to see hope. Even under a government that had promised us change. And of course change means that you're going to give us a turnaround of sorts. But we cannot really say that we've seen that change for the better, can we? So will the ABC be able to clean up its mess and get its act together before 2023? Do you see that happening anytime soon? I agree with your episode mess. We didn't clean the mess. We came out of the country. Okay, maybe you made it messier. You didn't create the mess, but you made it messier. No, we didn't make it messier either. See, let me just give you a scenario. We have magnified the problems they point to or missing the point in this country. See, we have a superstructure and then we have a sub-structure in every policy. It doesn't matter. For instance, common grounds for our agree on issues. My state government used to be going to fight on vats. The local state governor with my party man, ABC, agrees with him. So when it comes to issues of who should collect this, we tend to agree. Once it does that, what comes to us, we tend to agree. It doesn't matter what political configurations we belong to. When it comes to giving back to the country, we tend to agree. So until we deal with that superstructure, we're not going to get it right. That's the point. I don't realize waiters are financed in national assignment. I did not know that most of what we have as security issues are overblown theories by politicians. For instance, we moved from the southern Bukka International for Sokoto to Gusou, which is the three-hour journey by road. And I saw only two policy checkpoints. Only two. Only two checkpoints. We had only two policemen in our bus. I was in Zafara for long. I didn't say any security challenges to the left. So I'm saying the problems are not there. But I'm simply saying that look, for us to deal with these problems, we have to step out of that political, you know, as if we're like the issues about... We're out of time. I'm so sorry. We're out of time. We have the civil service. There's security and not policy. You have to deal with them first. Otherwise it doesn't matter what ideas they bring. They'll collapse. I'm not dealing with decisions first. It's not my problem. Unfortunately, we have to go out of time. Dayakai Day is a political technocrat. What you're showing me is a political analyst. And so we realize I'm a member of the Opprogressive Congress in Riverstay. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being part of the conversation. Unfortunately, time is running at lightning speed. Thank you. That's probably me. All right. Thank you, everyone, for staying with us. We'll take a short break now. And when we return, we look into conversations around the PDP's zoning arrangement. Mighty change. We'll get to find out after the break.


Hi everybody, I'm Jen and this is TheOpenSource.com Weekly Top 5. It's May 1st and so I'm bringing you the top five articles that we've published this past week that have been the most popular with our readers. So let's just kick it right off at number five. We have What is Open Source? Licensing History and More. Nicole Engard gives us her summary of a talk by Jenna Likens of Red Hat about teaching open source to others. She recently gave this talk at the South Central Consortium for Computing Sciences and Colleges. At number four, how an open standard API could revolutionize banking. Noelle Petefield tells us how open bank data will give us the freedom to access all banks in real time and from a single view, automatically calculating the best deals and complete transparency. This could be a significant step forward for social good by giving people more control over their finances. At number three, the benefits of radius over LDAP. Nick Owen wants to propose a better authentication protocol than LDAP. It's called radius and Nick tells us that it's incredibly simple to configure and supports more functionality than LDAP, but it is often not considered by developers that are creating enterprise oriented software. However, it is supported by Cisco, Checkpoint, Netgear, Apache, PAM, every two factor authentication vendor, every VPN provider and more. So maybe it's time you learn more about radius. At number two, Picon 2015 Conference Report and Video Roundup. This year's Picon Python conference called Picon was held in Montreal from April 8th through the 16th. That's nine days of Python goodness. So what did attendees do the whole time? Well, it's broken up into segments. The first two days were dedicated to the Tutorials and Language Summit. Then there were two days of conference talks and finally sprints and working sessions comprised the last three days. Pierre-Yay Chabon, a Fedoro web application developer, gives us a report and a video roundup of the talks in this article. Finally, at number one, an open source e-commerce friendly CMS. Like many great open source projects, MicroWebber was born out of a problem. Boris tells us about this, tells us about MicroWebber. It aims to take the complexity out of building a website, online shop or blog through a combination of drag and drop and real time WYSIWYG site edits. Check out this flexible CMS on our website. Alright, that's it everybody. Thanks so much for joining me for this quick top five. And hopefully I will see you again next time.
