So in the front you do have that color match front bumper. You have this aggressive mesh grill You have your fog lights You're gonna have 17 inch alloys Now on this you have the black predator tube step, which looks really good with that army green All right, so moving on to the back you are gonna have your TRD sport badging right here Drop this down You're gonna have the bed mat and this is a six-foot bed Okay, so this is an access cab and one thing with the access cab with that and why people you know like that is that you do Get this six foot bed because if you had the regular cab then it would shorten that a foot and you'd get the five feet Now jumping into the interior You do have an eight inch touchscreen and this is also a manual There's going to be a wireless charger You have your all-weather floor liners And then your adjustable driver seat Alright, so again, this is the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport It's in the beautiful army green and it is available here at Oxma or Toyota If you have any questions if you'd like to stop in let us know all of our contact info is listed right here Thanks you all for watching. I'll see you soon. Bye


Thanks for coming to the presentation, I didn't expect that there would be so many people and frankly speaking I've never presented before such a huge audience so I should apologize in advance if I will forget how to speak or faint just wake me up I will proceed from where I stopped. So the presentation today the name of the presentation is how an exiled pirate media outlet breaks through the Kremlin's propaganda firewall. The long name pretty straightforward and today I would like to tell you the story of the pirate media the story of the small company that has become the most important the biggest independent Russian-speaking media outlet that has been blocked but yet but still we have millions of readers within Russian borders also I'm gonna tell you about the what actually happens within Russia in regards of censorship and tell you that the Russia has become one of the most technically advanced countries in these regards.  Is it okay with you? Thanks guys. So my name is Alex I'm head of technical department I should apologize for the photo of myself it's the design team who put it there. A couple words about myself I started as a network engineer and I'm doing IT staff for almost 18 years already and I feel like I'm the dumbest person in this conference. The other day I approached some kids because I thought they will be smart at the same level smart as myself you know and they told me that they managed to hijack transportation system you know and it was like big impact at my ego so I'm feeling now the dumbest person here sorry for that. Couple words about the technical team of Medusa it's about like 20 person it's developers designers testers product project people and normally before the war in Ukraine we were focused on the development of our products mobile application website side products whatever our infrastructure podcast distribution so on and so forth after the war since we become once again the biggest pin in the s of the government we started spending the waste the best part of our time trying to protect ourselves from attacks and trying to sneak information within Russian Federation. Couple slides about geopolitics hope you like it this is Russia if someone doesn't know the population of Russia is 133 millions according to Wikipedia. To give you comparison it's pretty much it's a little bit more than in Mexico and about a half of population of United States of America. I'm asking you to imagine what if all the population all the people who live in Russia won't be able to receive information except from the information that delivered by government just think about that I'm not saying something so basically they will receive just propaganda it's something pretty much like I guess in North Korea for instance so government decides what information they will get from abroad is it good or bad just think about that and tell me afterwards also on the second slide you can see some more countries which are with a which are good friends of Russia they have lots of similarities these countries are autocratics or some would call it dictatorship these countries are fond of blocking the Internet they are fond of pursuing journalists and they like to get the best out of Russia you know I'm talking about the knowledge technologies of censorship and so on so forth together with Russia it's almost 250 millions of people it's pretty much the population of United States of America and the same questions the same question think what will happen if all those countries together with Russia will have no access to any information except for what government says to them once again it reminds me of Soviet Union we had that before and maybe some of that or your parents remember Cold War so it's not the good thing for people to be scared of die because of like nuclear strike and the last geopolitical slide sorry you can see it's a good partners of Russia which is China Iran Syria and of course North Korea and from what we know these countries are constantly have communication with Russia they have exchange of knowledge about the technologies China provides equipment for Russia for censorship once again what might go wrong if all those countries will work together and where it all goes so here I'm finishing my geopolitical part of the presentation I think what could go wrong we will get to this in the end of the presentation so and now let's get back to 2014 it's not exactly how it all started it's not the time when the like the ideas of control of the Internet has started it started a little bit before but in 2014 everything has become turbulent and these events brought us where we currently are I'm talking about this massive censorship I'm talking about the war in Ukraine I'm talking about all the other bad things that happening currently and when I googled what is the most important event in 2014 this is what I found ice bucket challenge I'm pretty sure this is not any how related to the massive censorship in Russia but if it would I would understand the government on the other part of the world at this moment in 2014 when the like ice bucket challenge was popular there was some serious events you remind them it's like when Ukrainian people took down pro-Russian president annexation of Crimea and consequent sanctions from European Union in USA against Russia and I guess we feel that that was the moment when something has changed and Russian government decided to change the direction they always wanted to control media market and internet but in 2014 I guess they decided that they need to invest more and this is the moment when everything has changed but I mean we have a saying there's no bad things without good things and in 2014 company named miduza was born the company I will tell you about currently basically Russian government started interfering to journalistic work and as you can see from the head heading of the article they fired editor in chief from one of the biggest independent internet media organizations and replaced her with a programming figure this was because she is this obey she didn't wanted to take down some articles and luckily or I don't know some a part of her team a part of land through left the company together with her and this was a start of the miduza and now I will explain why we are talking about a pirate ship so miduza 2014 the idea of the creation of the media we called it like we're gonna be pirates we will be pirate media what does that means so we will need a safe haven we will be independent from anyone we will obey no one we will be self-sufficient and we constantly will be attacked we constant we will be persecuted that apparently will be killed so we were like kind of pirates and you can see the photo actually we have lots of this black flag steel in our office and this is one of our like official symbols some like that so the safe haven for us become your opinion you know you know we started abroad from Russia this helped us to avoid interference it's in there and for government can interest sorry it's complicated work I cannot pronounce it governments can affect anyhow our work we decided that it would be decentralized leadership and funding so we will have no single person who owns the company who can affect anyhow us we expected that we will be blocked prosecuted attacked so security was priority for us and we wanted to be independent from everyone so we started with a technical team I told you about that and everything is built in-house website content management system mobile application everything and the important thing to mention that we decided that will be different I mean we pirate media we don't want to be like this smart serious news media we would like to appeal to younger generation because we were younger ourselves and we never use this smart language we always used to use the simple language like hey buddy let me explain you what does this new law means so we tried to explain politics through memes through jokes through swear words I don't know something like that we were never boring and another important thing to mention that we were always negative thinkers we were expecting that tomorrow we will be dead I mean tomorrow we will have no money tomorrow will be persecuted and you can see from the first design actually it didn't change much I mean it was dark because we thought we believe in the Gotham city something like that so and these negative thinking helped us a lot I will tell a little bit more about it later so moving to today nine years after like I mean it was difficult nine years we was dying I guess four times we was close to death there was like terrible accidents when for instance police planted drugs into the backpack of one hour journalist but now as of today right at the moment we are the biggest independent Russian-speaking media outlet the most influential and we still can reach millions of readers within Russian Federation despite being blocked there is some analytics it's boring I guess the important thing to know last year we have been blocked this year we have become real pirates because since 2023 we outlawed in Russia what does it means everyone who works for Medusa will go to jail everyone who partners with Medusa will go to jail everyone who donates money to Medusa will go to jail I'm talking about Russian people so in the meantime Russia didn't waste time of course and Russia was evolving technologically this picture once again we go back to 2014 this picture actually better explains what was with Russia in 2014 in terms of technologies I mean some of you maybe remember these pathetic attempts how they tried to block telegram and never succeeded actually but by now they managed to achieve something that seemed impossible back in the day all the experts like three four years just three four years ago all the technical experts were saying that it is not possible to build something similar to Chinese firewall in Russia but I can tell you by now they achieved the goal they managed to install DPI pretty much everywhere DPI stands for deep packet inspection it's like special boxes that analyze I mean you guys you smarter than me you know it if you do not know I encourage you to visit packet inspection village please do learn and then get back to me and help me to outsmart this shit you know thanks guys sorry can I use swear words okay sorry for that so on this chart you can see what was the difference between 21 in 2022 how drastically amount of blocking says increased some more graphs at the left hand side you see the chart from our friends Roskom Svoboda they block 20,000 websites every month in average and it's gets even worse nowadays and it's not just the pages it's whole sites because normally they block by mask at right hand side I'm not sure if you can clearly see it you can see it's it's the chart from our friends uni internet observatory and you can see this the type of websites they're blocking the biggest bubble is news media smaller ones but still big are it's circumvention it's a human rights it's social networks as file sharing so obviously you can see that they targeting like freedom of information and what pieces me off more than anything else the other big bubbles are porn and alcohol so they took information from us it was fine but then they took porn and alcohol and that's why Russians are so grumpy now and this actually the from my Google analytics from the website and this is a moment of blocking you can see it left-hand side there is we hit the top with 2 million unique readers a day which is a lot and the day after the blocking everything dropped by 90% so we left pretty much all the audience so you are a government you blocked everything you wanted all independent media porn what's your next step circumvention tools of course if you cannot watch porn you go and find a VPN service to watch porn they blocked tour immediately it's still can you can still use tour in Russia however it's not that easy for ordinary people they blocked all the major VPN services in Russia so and they continue blocking those even those that was called like bulletproof unblockable VPN services are not working well in Russia now they even forbid from any promotion of a PN service or circumvention tools if you ever would like to have instruction on your I don't know social network how to set up tour bridges you will be fine and you will go to jail they even started marketing campaign against VPN services or circumvention tools you can find in YouTube video when they tell you that VPN services are stealing your personal data I mean I mean they are right partially yeah so another thing that just happened a week ago they blocked wire guard and open VPN protocols so the reason for that is that in Russia have become self-hosted VPN services and normally they would buzz be based on wire guard so they blocked it couple words about media space control it's like quite boring for you I guess but the important thing like one of the weird laws that was issued just a couple weeks ago they obliged all the recommendation services new services to disclose to government their algorithms how smart it's how evil smart is that you know so obviously they will use this algorithm to make sure that people get in propaganda what about global companies so Facebook and Instagram actually whole meta was get the status of terroristic terroristic organization in Russia which means that you they have been blocked immediately but it's not that safe for you to use Instagram and Facebook now Twitter was blocked quite a while ago YouTube while I was preparing this presentation today morning we got the information that in some regions in Russia YouTube's no longer working we do not know yet if it's YouTube block or just like some problems Google and Apple all the time face different types of pressure normally it's like they have a lot of views they find Google news has been blocked a while ago and Google search has been blocked today so it's evolving pretty fast the last time I checked like several minutes ago in half of the Russia Google Google search is not long is no longer working and government pushes people to move to national platform but sometimes big tech companies help to a Russian government this happened a week ago when I was preparing the presentation Apple complied with the requirements of government and removed our best news podcast fortunately they get it back in several days but still I mean what will happen if they will remove our mobile application this does makes any sense because Google now blocked in Russia but before you know if you go to Russia you will never find me do that even do it's the biggest media outlets and in top 30 popular Google search you will find yellow media or propaganda media obviously it's not intentional this is because algorithm me do this blocked in Russia that's why Google puts it puts it down but it shouldn't be like that but how did we survive I mentioned the negative thinking and we were preparing to death and to be blocked quite a while ago so like several months before we were blocked we started thinking what can we do what will happen if government will block our website which are like the core product of the news media and we come up with some ideas they are not bright at all we just prepared some kind of the as always communication as we call it like hey guys like the giant banner on the website hey guys we will be blocked as soon as the word starts if the word starts and you should install VPN you should do this and that and that you should check our social networks you should check YouTube channel and so on so forth so we invested a lot like to we started new podcasts we started new video shows we even reinvented newsletters I mean which is like in 21st century who reads newsletters but I mean it worked perfectly great for us and I highlighted the phrase that what can we do before it's too late so it's like it's crucial thing if we would do it later we wouldn't we won't be successful and actually that's what happened when we were blocked so people lost access to the website I showed you the graphic the chart before and here you can see how for instance social networks boomed downloads of our mobile app it's like tripled multiplied by four and this is newsletter one of newsletters there's hundreds of thousand people signed up immediately and now one of my favorite parts the mobile application this is something we are very proud of we had mobile application from the very beginning there isn't for that view we are our thinking was that we can put anything we want under the hood of mobile application so basically we can integrate some circumvention tools and actually that's exactly what we've done right before the blocking several months before the blocking we started using like peer to peer basically if you install our app your phone because becomes a part of like some mesh pretty much like torrents I mean you know how that works I mean it it and it works well but I mean due to some issues with the battery drain and you know people are picky we need we stopped using the peer to peer then we were using some nice one of the biggest we can service as a part of our app but it was blocked together with our pen services and we moved to the simpler but yet reliable ways like automated mirror changes like broxing something like that and now we have some combination of the circumvention tools embedded to the app and this is something that we gonna like evolve develop further because we are preparing now for a worst for instance we have already implemented the pre-cash of the content for instance if you're reading the article the old articles are downloaded and I think that will prove itself when we start using again the peer to peer solution also we have the light version that we can feed within our app so it doesn't it's like takes just couple of kilobytes for article so it will work for the poor connectivity emergency mode when we can upload we have infrastructure for that we can upload to the Google cloud services so this is something you can hardly block without blocking whole Google which is happening currently and lots of other things we're working on automated mirror rotation this is another thing I would like to tell you about because we are very proud of to make automated mirror rotation you need three things the first one to discover that the link has been blocked issue and you mirror and deliver it to the user normally the problem in Russia with discovery so I know I don't know anyone who managed to solve it except except for us because of the specific of these dpi tools around of types of blockings around the Russia because dependent on the region they have different types some sometimes it's like throttling sometimes they have TLS connection sometimes they don't have so basically we're using our mobile app as the probe so they probing the mirrors and we have as soon as we have a lot of network issues above some particular threshold level we issue in you we issue in your mirror and deliver it to the reader and it takes like several seconds to get it to the mobile app this is boring okay I this is this is this is so much fun you know this was like the weird idea because I mean once again it's 21st century who will use PDF except for me for this presentation who uses PDF and we come up with the like weird idea that let's add a functionality that allows you to print out as the PDF file from the website any of articles like on this screenshot you can see it and actually we designed it's it's nice and beautiful design which fits perfectly for printing out and we were so surprised that hundred thousand of people uses this functionality and we had a lot of stories how grandparents or parents of some people asked them to print this out so they can read it like a newspaper and I mean this is weird idea but at the same time if it works and it works I mean it's better than people reading Medusa and they understand that anything they get from the government is a propaganda yeah our key idea that we never stop looking for new paths we always trying to find some this weird strange ideas to find the ways how to sneak in information to Russia to people like we have Instagram story generator we have we using instant view from telegram it's actually it's the nice thing whenever you send me do this link to somewhere through telegram you will see instant view you just click it and you will open article within the telegram and even if the site blocked it will be the full article light version of the website we collaborating with different companies like new segregators we providing them integrate them so they can get our information and so on and so forth and nice story by the way there was a guy in Russia who had a radio translator and he was just broadcasting through the radio our podcasts something like that I mean if that works then it works so what's the bottom line how much time we have what's the bottom line I mean we are this relatively small company and obviously we don't have those resources as Russian government has we don't have like so much money we don't have we have a small team small technical team but we are inventive weird and we are creative and we have a good will so like and we truly believe in the freedom information so people tend to help us which was surprising for me and that's why actually I'm here because what I've not from what I've noticed here are the most like brightest people the smartest people I ever saw in whole my life and if you have experience any experience in circumvention tools if you have experience in packets inspections if you know technologies please reach me out if there are people from the big tech big tech companies please reach me out we need your help if is there anyone who works for Russian government yeah so please reach me out I have some questions you know you you need to explain me what's going on so we are open for any collaboration any card of support will do like resources knowledge funding whatever or if you like us you know just or if you never read me do they never heard of me do that go and check the website at the bottom like me do the dot io slash en we have an English version if you can read in Russian check the Russian version and spread the word about us and also you can donate this is like this is not malware by the way it's just the link to the support site so you can go like and each buck bucks will matter and it looks like the last slide but it's not actually I have the bonus part of the presentation so what is the future of internet and Russia what should we expect in the future as we see from today's presentation just today they blocked Google and this is what's gonna happen in upcoming days months I guess all the global services that are not complying with Russian requirements Russian government requirements will be replaced by Russian services and this is something that already going on we can see it we can see that like Google Chrome is not the most popular browser anymore circumvention tools will be available only for advanced technical advanced users I explained to you before from what we know from the leaks they starting massively using AI tools and that helps them to faster discover and block the content including especially audio visual content normally we used to say that podcasts are below the raiders it's not the case anymore we expect that will they will start blocking mirrors far in the faster way because like a month ago they were blocking once per month now they're blocking three times a day if they will block us like ten times a day we can do nothing with that and sovereign internet and separation Russian people from outer world this is something that's gonna happen very very soon so like my you guys you can read Russian this is how we imagine Russian internet within what will happen with Russian internet within one year from now on so I mean my forecast would be that less than a year before each and every Russian will be isolated from outer information and we're getting back to my geopolitical slide so I mean we are in the negative fingers and this is last slide by the way we are the negative fingers and I mean we have the terrible forecasts that these these countries this part of the world soon become at least Russia will become some kind of the North Korea I mean yes this looks like the world collapses for us because we negative thinkers but I tell you you know we did already I don't know we're doing this forecast like four years in a row and the worst scenario are usually the most realistic scenario and it's pretty accurate and this was definitely will happen within one year we will have Russia separated from outer world within several years we will have Russia plus CIS some CIS countries and just think of what could happen if those countries will collaborate together but I'm optimistic here I mean I understand that Medusa only Medusa cannot can do nothing with that but I'm optimistic here because there's so many people who believe in freedom of information to freedom of speech so many bright people around and another thing we are goodies definitely I'm pretty sure about that so I think that we'll figure it out somehow and the future will prevail and I guess that's it thanks guys and I have these envelopes if you want to reach me out there's my contacts here and there's some nice stickers inside if you like you can just approach me I will give it away and you can get from the guy over there so thank you so much


I've been involved at all levels of football for well over 40 years now but I suppose the building blocks, the foundations of my coaching career would go back to when I trained as a PE teacher. It gave me a great base and a start. I learned very quickly about planning and preparation, organisation and three other key areas. How to observe things, how to use a variety of communication skills and find out about how different players later on, different cultures learned their learning styles and what they would prefer. There was a big show at the NEC, I think that was about 2011. So that started a very healthy relationship at Southampton with Snowbald and obviously the coaching manual used lots of the age group coaches at Southampton to basically show what's in all situation. So it wasn't stage matched, the footage was captured live so it showed the things that the players were good at and also the mistakes that they made. So it's true, it's not manufactured which I think is very important. Some coaches that like to get on courses collect badges and it really enhances the CV. Unfortunately some of those types of courses don't actually use some of the information, some of the trends and practices that will help them develop. It's more of a collection. The second type of coach has the mantra of seeking excellence, the excellence that they can develop. They are always seeking knowledge and they're like a sponge. So the sponge is full of ideas, the good coaches will squeeze the sponge and keep in the things that are relevant to their career and will help their players become better and better. They are the proverbial students of the game. Everybody talks about principles of play but what are the real principles of play? You know what are the important orders? So people talk about pressing, yep certainly a principle but you can't always do that so we want to give more information that allows people to think about you know what actually works rather than what is fashionable at the moment. If you're quite an experienced coach and you think it will be more of a refresher there might be different terminologies. I think it will stimulate people's thinking, I think people will be challenged and I think for the more inexperienced coaches it will open their eyes up to all sorts of different methods to make them a better coach. you


Okay, so I think it is about the time we should start So hello everybody Welcome to the presentation of bootstrapping the local kernel CI So at first just let me be a bit more specific about the Time frame of a bootstrapping. Let's say it will I'll try to tell you how to bootstrap a local kernel CI in less than a day so What's this presentation all about it's it's about creating your own kernel CI environment which you can use to run your builds test Which can be suitable if you are a kernel developer or kernel CI developer or just want to test your patches So who am I? My name is Michał Gałka. I'm a software engineer who works for Collabra, which is a open source consulting company and My daily work is Connected or is about the kernel CI development so Who is actually aware of kernel CI? Who know what kernel CI is? Okay, who has actually used kernel CI in their job Okay, so so kernel CI is basically an application a system that's supposed to test the upstream Linux kernel so it's it's meant to build the kernel build the branch that you've selected Upload the artifacts then use the artifacts to run your tests and get the Test results back together. So it's meant to be a single place in which you can See the stored test results the boot test results view them compare them and truck What is more it's it's meant to work in a distributed way. So whenever you build the kernel it The builds are distributed then the artifacts are gathered in single place Where all the test jobs are also distributed to the text test backends Which then fit the results backs back to the kernel CI. So in this terms it becomes a bit difficult to set up a Local instance which you may need for testing or developing so Just to see a bit of a kernel CI to those who Not using it. It's when you when you go with your browser to the Kernel CI org page, you can actually see different kernel CI frontend and You can see what where the recent builds done by the kernel CI you can see the boot tests So you can precisely know Which kernel which branch Which tree was built and You can dig a bit To see the build blocks to see the test results so on and so on so let me start with my first days in the kernel CI so What what is the kernel CI beginners? checklist So the first thing is to understand how the kernel CI works. So what are the mechanism what is triggered by what? What what actions you need to take to actually get the results that you need? when you know the mechanisms but logic wise He you need to understand what's under the hood So what are the applications involved to make the kernel CI up and running? What are the software components? What are the tools? What is interacting with? with watch and What needs to be done to actually establish this interaction? later you can build your own local development environment and The last of my goals was to start development when I have a fairly working Local environment so at first let me tell you How the kernel CI roughly works? So the kernel CI well, this is some kind of a flow diagram so the Main part of the kernel CI is is Jenkins. So it's it's the orchestrator that actually triggers the most of the jobs in in the kernel CI so There is a monitor job which monitors hourly the changes in the in the Kernel repository. So how does it know which repository it should to monitor? There is a YAML file If you go to github kernel CI github space, you will see that there is a config builds YAML file. It defines which builds Will be done for what configurations and for what architectures and which kernel trees will be actually monitored so Every hour it checks if there are new commits. How does it know that the new commit has actually come? so it it goes to the storage which is another part of the kernel CI and It checks whether the last commit ID is the one that's The last in the repository or if it's not it just Starts the build trigger job. So build trigger based on the configuration runs the build Jobs, so it tries to distribute and build the kernels that you need and When it's done with the build it uploads it back to the storage So it uses the API endpoint city. It uses the backend rest API to put it to the storage and The storage makes it makes it available over over HTTP for the next stages When the builds are done you can run the tests So for for the tests You need a test backend usually it's lava. So I just put here the lava part so the tests Based on the based on the done of the build on the builds done the test jobs are generated and Submitted to lava Together with the test jobs lava gets the callback which is which is used when the test jobs are done so when the when the test job is done it calls the callback and submits the test results back to the Kernel C8 backend After that It sends the The test results are available in the the front end and the test results emails are being sent there's also a separate part that tries to Detect the regressions and do the bisections to detect which part or which which commit actually cost the Boot error, but it is it's not the part of this presentation. It won't be covered here so basically there are a few work phases so We probe the repository then we build the kernel then we upload all the artifacts and the metadata Back to this the Kernel C8 backend Then we're ready to generate run the test collect the results and report the results so it's Quite a lot to have done on a single PC So what what are the parts? What are the software parts that are involved in it? So basically Kernel C8 is Consists of two parts the Kernel C8 backend and the Kernel C8 front-end Both of them are like fully fledged web applications So the Kernel C8 backend Exposes two endpoints one is storage, which is just a simple HTTP endpoint that allows you to download the artifacts and the API endpoint which is used to communicate With the API to store the results to store the artifacts and do all the job that's needed In the back end it also uses the salary which is a distributed task key It also uses its readies for some session management and all the data is stored in the MongoDB So Mongo actually stores the collection of documents Responsible for storing data about builds test test groups test cases and so on So the Test so the API endpoint and the storage endpoint are used by the external Applications like Jenkins and lava to interact with the Kernel C8 So lava uses the storage to download the artifacts and download all the files that's needed That it that it needs for testing Jenkins uses the storage and the API to Push the results and interact with the back end Front end also uses the API to get the results as you've seen on the Web page on the front end web page of the Kernel C8.org This is just an application. That's calling the back end API to retrieve all the all the data So there is quite a lot of things that you need to run on your machine to have a local environment so My first take on the setup of a local development environment Was to go to the Kernel CI github space and use the Kernel CI front-end config and the Kernel CI back-end config repositories. They store the unsymbol Playbooks That have like the recipes to set up the front end in the back end And they are meant to set up like a fully-fledged production environment My next part of my plan was to install lava So I needed a Debian machine and lava is already packaged for Debian so you can just do APT get install Then I needed Jenkins so I can easily install it from the Debian package and Then I need to configure the system. So I Need to create the necessary API tokens. So all the parts can actually talk properly to each other. I Need to configure lava. So I need to Set up a virtual device that will run my tests So I need to define the QMU device type Define the QMU device itself and then I need to recreate the Jenkins jobs, which is kind of a Big work if you if you may judge by the diagram that I've shown before So what were the results? Well, I set up the environment and this is the methods Proven to work. It's used in the product in the Kernel CI production. It's used in the Kernel CI staging environment so if you're brave enough to go through all the Necessary configuration it will give you a nice environment Quite similar to the one that's run on production What are the cons? Well, it takes quite a lot of time to set it all because you need to set up the virtual machines or the physical machines You set up the network in between them And especially you need to set up the Jenkins jobs As you as you probably see while doing it not all of them are the pipeline jobs Some of them are the good old matrix jobs. So recreation of the Whole environment takes quite a lot of time apart from that you need to do some changes in the Ansible playbook so it suits your local environment and Well, it's enough to say that the install file for the Ansible Configuration itself is about 300 lines. So it's not Not a simple It's it's it's a bit of a time-consuming task So after some time well, I I got it environment running and after some time I just figured out that there might be a simpler way To set up a local development environment that will give me maybe not a fully fledged Environment but something a bit more minimal that will be able to do the build upload the artifacts run the tests Get the results maybe with without all this Unnecessary steps maybe without the whole orchestration. So the second take on the setup of the local environment was that I Would like to install kernel CI and lava in a docker-raised version Then I would like to just configure my local environment and possibly Get rid of Jenkins in the meantime Guillain Tucker who is one of the currency developers develop the tool that's called KCI build and It nicely wraps all the kernel build faces so you can run them separately and Script it the way you actually need So first things first, let's start with the containers. There is a container maintained at the Or the docker Image contained maintained and the current CI github space. It's called current CI docker however, it's still a Work in progress and it's a bit outdated. It's not fully functional. It doesn't include for example the storage so I kept digging in and occurs that The automotive great Linux project Forked this repository Unfortunately, it's not easy to to to be upstreamed but the fork itself is more functional than the than the Docker image that's available at the official currency I Space it provides you with all the necessary Components so it sets up the back end it sets up the front end proxy The salary ready is mongo. What have you? It generates the API token during the startup and it makes sure that the front end and back end has already exchanged the token So they are ready to talk to each other right after the start and it's also meant to be used in the for the development purposes So if you're a kernel CA developer or you want for some reason modify modify the kernel CA source code You can easily plug it in. It just needs you to Put it in the search directory, which is then mounted as a volume in the docker So it simplifies already quite a few steps That don't need to be manually done There is also a set of containers There are not official lava containers, but they are based on them and Dan Rue, which is who is who is also one of the currency I developers created this docker Compose files that takes the Lava master lava slave and all the necessary proxy and database packages wraps it in one thing and lets you install the lava Environment as as a single command in a meantime it pre-configures the lava master for you, so it creates the admin account and It creates the virtual device type the chemo device type and it creates the chemo device instance so you start with lava running and Having already configured the chemo device for you.  You need to configure This two set of dockers to interact with each other. So Start with the beginning so the kernel CI can Be start with the helper script which will provide you with some useful information to tell you what your Master API token is you will probably need this to set up a few few things later And it will tell you on which ports which part of the kernel CI is actually working. So you have already a running access to Front and back end storage and you have the API token the Lava containers are not the talkative, but the only thing you need is just to use the make file. That's included. You just Run it and it runs lava. It runs the lava web panel And the rest API on the board 80 So we have two Running sets of containers We can access them all But they cannot access each other. This is the first thing you need to do after the setup There are easy work around is just to connect the Docker network Of the kernel CI Docker with the network of the lava, so we just need to call a few Docker network connect commands to Connect the lava containers to the doc kernel CI Docker Then you need to configure the lab Laboratory is a needed instance is meant to represent the place where you store your devices and you run the tests so It boils down to generating Another API token you can use it you can do it with the rest API, but it's not always very handy However, there is a tool or the whole repository called kernel CI admin And it and the repository can contains the KCI tool, which is the admin tool for the kernel CI back end If you run it You can easily with a single command do all the create read update delete work connected with the tokens labs, etc So behind the scenes it uses the kernel CI API But you just do not really need to remember which endpoints you need to call and what arguments you need to pass so and it can serve you to Administrator to administer a few Kernel CI instances all you need to do is just to Feel out the settings dot by file it's a kind of a simple file which contains just a Python dictionary and The dictionary needs to contain the access token the one that you you are already provided when starting the container the URL That that was also Visible there and you need to set up an arbitrary name for your kernel CI instance So as long as it is Python's dictionary the only Limitation is that you cannot have two laborers of the same name So you issue the KCI Command the ad lab is is the command that lets you add the laboratory you need to Specify the lab name the administrators Name and email and you're basically done if you run it from the common line it will do all the necessary changes in the back end and will display the laboratory name and The token that's supposed to be used by this lab The manual part is that you need to access the lava admin panel so we just need to access the admin URL and your lava instance and You need to pass To paste the token there and what is quite important and not mentioned in too many sources is that you need to Put the callback name that's going to be used by your Job in the description field if you don't do it it tends to End up with the authorization failure when and when trying to Push the test results back to kernel CI later you need to generate The token for your lava device for your lava instance as you're going to Submit the test to the lava instance you will need this token and basically you're done You have the kernel CI in lava running. So the next thing is that You probably don't really need a fully fledged Jenkins instance in your In your environment, so you can use the currency I built as I mentioned before it's a Quite new thing. It's it has been developed. So I guess a Month or maybe two months ago Now the full documentation is can can be found on the kernel CI Wiki Which is hosted on github. So the KCL build is basically the tool that was meant to give you the opportunity to get rid of Jenkins and Replace it with a different orchestrator So it wraps up all the phases you all the phases that you need to build your kernel starting from configuring the repository ending up on uploading the test artifacts and you can run it from Anything you need specifically you can write it from the command line, which is the Which is the way I use it quite frequently to just test things that I need so Just this is how you prepare the build. So you need to clone the repository then you can call the KCA build Update repo command that will prepare the repository for you. So it will be ready to do the build it will set it up Due to the configuration that you have in your build configs YAML file so when he So when you're done with that Basically, you can Generate all the fragments. It's also based on the configuration on the configuration of your build So the config parameter takes the config name from the config build configs YAML file Then the build kernel is the command that runs the compilation process What's worth mentioning is that you can Specify the dev config that you need you may specify the architecture and the build build environment and Build environment is not the compiler that's going to be used It is the build environment label that's used inside the build configs YAML file. So this is this is the label that will be stored in the build metadata in the kernels a backend Then you can install the kernel and you're ready to publish the artifacts which is as easy as that you already have the Appropriate API tokens generated for you during the container start startup So you just provide the API URL you provide the token and you run the push kernel command that will upload all the binaries to the storage and Then you run the publish kernel metadata Which you will Provide all the metadata and store it in the kernel C8 backend So after that you will be able to run the front end or access the web front end and you should see the builds appearing there next part is to run the tests and again there is a couple of tools That facilities facilitates that so in the kernel CI core repository You can find the lava v2 scripts one of them is jobs from API. That's basically used to generate the Lava jobs based on available builds device the devices and test plans So it will come up with a set of a yaml file ready to be fed to lava the other one is Lava v2 submit jobs which can actually take the files that you've generated with the previous script and Feed them to lava and lava will start the job based on the data provided Run run them take the results run the callback Store the results back at the kernel CI backend So this is basically all you need to run your local environment. You don't really need to have a Full setup with all the components you can run a few Docker containers. You can use tools that will facilitate that and Yeah, let me summarize on that so using the Docker eyes kernel CI and the lava lab Can be a good choice in case you don't really need a fully fledged production environment And it takes a lot less time to set it up It's always a good idea to use the key see a tool from the currency admin not using the kernel kernel CI back and calls Directly it wraps you up the rest API it provides a nice way to do all the Work connected with the token management and all the administrative tasks connected with the kernel CI backend and The kernel CI build is always a nice tool To run the built faces and store The artifacts after the build without running the whole process in Jenkins so if you have the build done you can push the Push the artifacts as many times as you need you can easily rerun the faces that that you need and as you may see It's it's quite easy to set up the Local environment nowadays, however, there are still things to do so the future plans are to develop the KCI test tool, which is Which will be a similar tool to KCA build, but this time for tests so you can You could have one tool to Generate the test jobs fit the test jobs probably trigger the email sending etc. Etc and There is also some work to do with the kernel CI and the lava containers as at the moment they are like two separate instances, so there is a job that will be done to Provide something like the fully integrated test environment so you don't to get rid of the manual steps of token exchange between the lava and and kernel CI and This is basically it Thank you For attention. I think that we have some time for for questions Yes, sure Well, it really depends on the on the developers so basically the vast majority of the tests are the boot tests, so we just Check if the if the kernel boots with the on a certain hardware configuration but there are also tests connected with video for Linux and Probably some more that I don't remember yes, yeah, like the The labs that are distributed like in several places in the where they have like their sets of real boards so the chemo is is just the one that you may need in your local environment to like Do some dry runs, but if you need tests on the on the real hardware They there are like several lava dispatchers and with connected like several Devices of different types so they they can run the tests even even the test specific for the particle platform Yeah, I'm not a computer this guy. So probably I Don't know too well, but yeah, if it if it if it can automate the whole process. I'm absolutely up for that Sorry, I didn't get it. Sorry alright, well Basically, it's meant to test the kernel So we have just a few root file systems packaged for the for for the specific Purposes like for the specific type of tests. So basically it's either build root-based or it is a debian based root file system, but as long as As far as I'm concerned, I think you can replace it with whatever you need But there are no more questions. So thank you very much for your attention


I have a statement here. I was pleased to welcome some leading Republican congressmen this morning. Our meeting began on a very positive note because we had more excellent news on the economy. The inflation figures announced today show that producer price inflation over the past year has been cut by 80 percent from two years earlier. It's extremely good news because it raises the purchasing power of every American. In coming months, of course, the inflation figures may bounce around a little, but it's clear that we're finally breaking the back of inflation in the United States, and now that it's down, we have to keep it down. That was one of the main reasons I asked these congressmen in this morning, because the Budget Committee in the House, controlled by the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, has just come up with a truly dangerous budget proposal. The so-called Jones proposal is a declaration of war against the common-sense principles that are now rebuilding America. This isn't a step forward, but a giant step backward into an economic quagmire. I'm not going to sit still for a proposal that makes a huge increase in taxes, guts our defense program, repeals many of the overdue welfare reforms that we have enacted, and adds an incredible $181 billion in domestic spending to what we've proposed. Clearly, this partisan Democratic budget is a dagger aimed straight at the heart of America's rebuilding program. We've worked very hard over the last two years to reduce the growth of domestic social spending. The Democratic proposal would throw our budget savings out the window and turn the clock back to pre-1981. And domestic spending was soaring out of control, and we had double-digit inflation and 20 percent interest rates. We worked very hard to give the American people their first real tax reduction, a rate reduction in nearly 20 years. We wanted to permit citizens to keep more of the money they earned, and to encourage them to save, invest, and help us increase worker productivity. All that's now happening. We're witnessing a renaissance in the values of thrift and enterprise, but the Democratic budget would crush the working people of America with $316 billion in new tax increases over the next five years. Repeal of the third-year tax cut and indexing would have little impact on the wealthy. But it would cost a typical median income family of $4,350 in higher taxes through 1988. Nor would this tremendous tax increase reduce the deficit. To reduce the deficit, we don't want or need higher taxes. We need economic growth, the kind of growth that has already begun. Finally, we've worked hard to begin the long, tough job of rebuilding America's defense security, and we're making progress. With the Democratic budget, we'd cripple those efforts, too, slashing our Defense Budget Authority request by more than $200 billion through 1988. Everything could bring greater joy to the Kremlin than seeing the United States abandon its defense rebuilding program after barely one year. Let me read you a statement that Harry Truman made in 1945 after he'd studied the reports on Pearl Harbor. He said, I came to the conclusion that the whole thing is the result of the policy which the country itself pursued. The country was not ready for preparedness. Every time the president made an effort to get a preparedness program through the Congress, it was stifled. Whenever the president made a statement about the necessity of preparedness, he was vilified for doing it. And being able to remember those times, I know he's exactly right in what he said. I'd only add to what Truman said that if we can't learn from the mistakes of history, as you know, we're bound to repeat them. I'm asking the members of our party, responsible Democrats, and every concerned America to work with us in opposing the liberal Democratic budget. We've come too far and worked too hard to see the recovery now underway destroyed by a reckless return to the failed policies of the past. Now that's the end of the statement, but let me just say I am looking forward to, I think, to face you here in the press room in which you can have a fling at questions next week. We haven't selected the day, but I'll be doing that. My schedule is such, however, that I am taking no questions, but Dave Stockman is here for all the details that you may have, and as you can see, he's got some of them here on color charts before you. So Dave... It sounds like you're getting ready to compromise on defense, Mr. President. You might want to say something to that. Nope. Nope. Okay, yeah. I just asked for the knowledgeable and responsible Democrats to join us. Dave, it's all yours. Yeah. Well, I'll take your question. Larry, do you have a point? This is not for camera. It is on the record, but not for camera. So we'll kill the lights. Also, we have a document here that's going to enable you to...


Okay, welcome back. It's still the run-up. We did promise that when we return we're going to bring someone who will talk about what is happening in a number of states. It's just sitting governor versus an ex-governor. So Ludo has been in the news, depending on which side you are, for good reason or for bad reason. If you are on one side, he could be in the news for good reason. And if you are on the other side, he could be in the news for bad reason. But one of the things that trended a few hours ago, so to speak, is that the Iqbo, Ipeks Iqbo Cultural Group, or Hanezen Iqbo, has taken so Ludo not to court, not to the village square, but to the deities, like this one on Pasa'a Power. And so everybody was talking about it. But we were wondering how big is this issue that will make a sociocultural group like Hanezen Iqbo take someone to the deities? But they have come out to give a statement that suggests otherwise. And there's a long press release. Maybe you can help us. I'm going to try to drop a few parts of it. Part of the press release drafted by the president general of Hanezen Iqbo reads as follows. He says, the attention of Hanezen Iqbo Worldwide has been drawn to a bizarre and reckless publication currently circulating in the media suggesting that the Ipeks Iqbo sociocultural body, and by extension, Iqbo, have dragged Governor Soludo to the two famous divinities and deities, Chocoleze in Umbi and Ubinubabi in Arochuku for his unreasonable public behavior, adding that the sanctions against Soludo to face Ibo deities will serve as a deterrent to Southeast politicians who have been hired by enemies of Iqbo and Nigerians to derail the obese presidency come 2023. The Hanezen Iqbo Worldwide led by an erudite scholar and a seasoned diplomat, Ambassador Professor George Obioso, CON, who would have ignored the said press release, but silence in these circumstances will tend to give the validity to such a fallacy by the unsuspecting public. And for the avoidance of doubt, Hanezen Iqbo has never contemplated consultations with the deities in seeking solutions for the Ibo dilemma. The Ibo are profoundly endowed in various ways, least of which is a resort to deities for contemporary issues. It needs to be added that on November 15, 2020, the National Executive Committee of O'Hanezen Iqbo held a meeting presided over by Obioso. The issue of the place of the Ibo in 2023 was elaborately discussed, wherein Obioso stated, and in quote, having traversed the length and breadth of the country on an advocacy mission for the emergence of a president of Nigeria from the southeast zone in the 2023 general elections, we expected a positive outcome, but the two major political parties, APC and PDP, rejected with impunity and impudence the practice and convention of the last 20 years of rotation and zoning of office of the president. However, the emergence of Mr. Peter Iqbo as of today has fulfilled all the expectations of Iqbo to participate in the 2023 presidential elections, which includes winning the primaries of the party and being nominated as the presidential candidates of the party. This is the advice given to all Ibo contestants in the 2023 presidential election, which is appropriate by virtue of justice, equity and fairness.  Of all of them are watching events in Nigeria, either with trepidation or doubt. Obioso concluded with, the situation in the country today offers Iqbo the opportunity to relaunch themselves in all socio-political dimensions. He added that yet we must keep asking the rest of Nigerians what do they really want to do with Iqbo. The decision will be theirs and the response will be ours. In other words, the position of Arnaz Iqbo and of course the Iqbo's with respect to 2023 is a constant. We rather use the opportunity to tank all the eminent Nigerians that have lent their support or thrown their weight behind the course of justice, equity, unity, progress and corporate existence of Nigeria in the person of Mr. Peter Iqbo. For Arnaz and Iqbo, it is either one is with us or against us, but never will Nigerians be distracted since history beckons. For several years to come, it will be recorded as once upon a time Indibu were shortchanged in the political calculations of Nigeria and Mr. Peter will be from Anambra State, braved up to change the narratives and that he was able to fill the Nigerian expectations. All the dynamics and intrigues associated with the above scenario will form the essential components of the Iqbo history. Arnaz Iqbo once more informs that the Secretary-General of Arnaz Indibu worldwide is Ambassador O.K. M.U.C. M.F.R. and any claim to the contrary and his chief makers, imposters, charlatans, social climbers and those media navigators who leech on the invaluable footprints of Arnaz Indibu to issue press releases for narrow, perverse and illicit pecuniary interests. It is a very long read. I was going to say you need like four liters of water. But then I think they made you know the major points that we're trying to point out the fact that they actually didn't take Governor Saludo to the deities as you know was being circulated in the news and social media at least 24 hours ago. It really sounded weird. You know the Iqbo sociocultural group I'm sure they will have a lot of Christians in it. They will have traditional religion practitioners. They might even also have Muslims within it. Iqbo is different from religion. So I was wondering it was so weird that a governor will be taken to the deities. How? Like they tie palm fronts to him and then push him to the deity? What was going to happen anyway? Yeah I was talking to an elder Iqbo statesman yesterday or day before yesterday I can't remember and he said something. He said that we were first Iqbo before any other religion. So it wouldn't be nice you know just telling from what you just said about how that there are other people practicing under religions but our members of the Iqbo social cultural group. So it wouldn't make sense actually you know to do that. It's a good thing that they came out with these statements and also you know also stating where they stand. You know that makes it even stronger for me. It gives the opportunity for them to learn the voice. A lot of people have said and I said is because I've seen it a lot of places the problem of the Iqbo's are Iqbo's. And by this statement it seems clear that it's imagined that the Iqbo man does not support an Iqbo man. Oh but you know with this they have stated their full support. So well they didn't take they didn't take soludo to the cleaners. We now know who they support or to the deities rather. We now know who they support. We know also that from these even though they didn't mention it it is even if it's a fight it's a fight between two sons illustrious sons of Iqbo land and they wouldn't wash debtilines in the public. But the public should know this but this also goes on to say how we believe hook line and sinker whenever there is news on the social media. It may not be as true as it is and you need to do some investigations and ask the relevant questions. Otherwise you might just be spreading falsehood which is very dangerous sometimes. Which is why it is important to do your fact checking. And also I don't know I might also want to say this from whatever was said about the investments made by OB. You might also need to go and do your own fact checking. Go and verify. Yes verify and find out for yourself and know if it's really worth nothing or if it is worth something. Someone has come out on social media to say if it's really worth nothing he wants to buy it for 10 million. Yeah one and Ibo man speaks. You know there is money in the air. Now I might just need to go back and check everything I have posted in my life on Twitter or everywhere because because the excavation I would say of soludos comments before now obese comments everybody's comments that will relate to this thing. Everything concerning this matter has been dug up and videos are flying around saying what was said before now and how the situation now has influenced what is being said nowadays. So whatever you do because tomorrow those things might come back to testify against or for you. In this case I don't know who is winning the battle but it just advices us somehow to an extent or it's not to an extent I feel like it's not even a battle like it's an exchange of opinions I mean your opinion can change from what you used to be two three years ago about a certain topic I'm not even being direct right now but I feel like everybody has the right to express what their opinion as of now is and I think that is what soludo is doing don't look at me that way. I mean he has the right to express what his opinions are. I just what I would say is even when you're expressing your opinions get your facts right. Yeah because superior arguments can always win so if I find for instance if I belong to a particular religion and another person comes to offer me another religion and gives me better facts it's not for me to condemn the one I'm leaving but I will tell you why I have decided to move to the other place so like well we now know that our guest is standing by and we'll just like to usher him in. Dr. Ezequus Silly. Hello and welcome to the program Dr. Ezequus Silly. Ezequus Silly. Dr. Ezequus Silly. Hello good morning. I can hear you my sister how are you? I'm very fine you're welcome. Okay I'm trying to find a better place to clear but I'm in a traffic yeah but just go ahead with your question.  We just want to give validity to to what we have been hearing. We've heard on the one hand that the entire Igbo nation took the governor to deities because of statements he made about another son of Igbo extraction Peter Obi and we've also seen a press release by the Orhanese and Igbo stating that they never did that and also giving their position where they stand in 2023 that is in the road leading to 2023 as it were but just give us authenticate whatever news that we should know the press release has been given but let's hear from you from the horsesmout you are there on ground and you are a stakeholder. What really happened? I'm still online. Yes what happened? Soludo vessels Obi that's how we are calling it. What really happened? Okay I'm in Edo Buu and Edo Buu is very close to Anambra. Are you getting me? Yes. Okay what is happening really is a kind of disappointment when you consider the kind of personality that Soludo constitutes. A professor for that matter of many years standing one time governor of CBN a central bank of Nigeria and what we all saw his arrival on that sea as the governor of Anambra said that they welcome development within the first two weeks he was able to correct a statement against indigenous people of Jaffa that had their activities are better in the course of his campaign and election. As far as I'm concerned and as a woman what is coming have gone back to by him is not welcome that's all. I am seeing a dear personality here a professor of high academic standards and the governor whose character has become divergent to the opinion of the world of him due to being has become a sacrosanct personality as far as we are concerned and the ABI also statement made against him is like a statement being made to the capital powers of Nigeria the poor people of Nigeria the downtrodden the rejected the total stood so what is happening the things that Soludo professor and our dear brother Pichu Buu is not a welcome development yes. Manezendipo has released the statement you know saying that stating their stand just as my co-host has said as concerning the 2023 general elections but this is like a back and forth between it's like a family thing now because it's the evil the apex evil social cultural group and their two sons going back and forth do you think there's going to be you know any further move to bring everybody home and have a proper conversation concerning this this issue. It doesn't matter one thing I want to believe I want to tell you that PTOB as it is today in the Nigerian central politics is not just an evil man and any attempt to affix him to the evil nation is not going to overwhelm. PTOB has become a Nigerian project PTOB is a movement because the ideology he is offering is not easily accessible so those of them who are fighting to occupy that secret is number one state in Nigeria so PTOB is not just don't talk about him as an evil man when we begin to talk about Nigerian politics it is a project it's a movement and it has to that everybody following him now Shalouda from his action now is trying to recruit himself remove himself from the central approach to the governance of Nigeria as far as I'm concerned he needed to ask questions and a person like him does not need to talk too much PTOB has often told people to go and verify it takes about 14-15 minutes for Menubu to Anambra even when we had the election Anambra had the election that brought up by Professor Shalouda the effect which the campaign and the election was having in Anambra was the effect very much felt in Menubu who are here praying praying for him believing that when he comes he will to neutralize all those negative positive that were in place so what is going to really affect the man standing and the effect of Africa as number one Igbo political party yes it will have an effect on what the post-installation will do represent yes because I know I thought as he's making this statement he's on his own he's on his own he's as simple as that okay well yes we will have to we'll have to take a moment now so that we can take the news and hope that after the news we can reconnect with you to finish some of the questions that are left hanging here for instance some of the people or the governors in the south east are vehemently opposed to the candidacy of Peter Obi if like Uche just asked you now if there is a conversation around bringing home everybody to be on the same page Dr. Chaos are you there I'm there standing by all right before we went on the news you were talking about how that you know Peter Obi is a Nigerian project and we I was trying to tell you that I understand that part I mean the obedience has scattered everywhere on social media and even on the regular media but then this conversation that we're having which you stemmed up from the things statements that were made by the governor of a number of states uh Charles Soludo and the counter statement made by the Ibo Apex social cultural group the Ohanez and Ibo which is why uh you know we're not trying to box Peter Obi into the southeast tenor that he is but we're trying to have the conversation in the home front you know from the home front uh what what that was why we asked you what you think you know the way forward is going to be like having the conversation with from the point of the Ohanez and Ibo bringing their two sons together and having the conversation like a family you know that was where we were coming from yes and then I said uh some some governors by the studio manager that because they have sound okay we also we also asked you some governors in the southeast making some comments showing that they are opposed to the candidacy of another Ibo son not necessarily an Ibo candidate as it were but like you have said but Peter Obi the governors of the south is making comments to show that they are opposed to his candidacy uh presidential candidacy and the question was is there a move that everybody in the nearest future will be brought to the same table to be on the same page or is all man to himself god for all if I understand your case well I I want to let you know that the governors of the southeast ten states um uh follow up of the operational oligarchy in the country they are as far as I'm concerned the government in the southeast ten states are operating on a different plane than away from what governments are doing and the reasons are very simple Ibo man is an individualistic person he is a liberally determines what he wants to do and he has to just follow the footsteps and does what he wants to do but given the current situation in the country we are facing a common enemy enemy of hunger enemy of holy death enemy of people who deny to the Institute or they have stolen from work so you find out that the people who are being governed are on one page those who are governing are on their own page that is just the truth I am surprised by by by the state in by the government of Anand Brasli before now who I think he was on the part of the massive I don't know what are you understand what I'm saying are you hearing me we're we're hearing you we can hear you well listen what I'm trying to say in effect is that it's not going to be very easy for for us to be on the same page in this is what was those of them who are governing off but the common truth is that we have found the truth and we have found the way because being chartered by the presidential candidate of the labor labor party is different from what is going on is your ideas are so simplistic straightforward and to the point and you find out that common market this way are on the same page with him if you begin to think about what hired people are saying about people they are not saying it on behalf of people I am telling you the truth if you feel what the manager and arm of the manager said it was even saying that they are prepared to take those of them who are trying to claim to be black for the shrine and you know the implication of taking this to go through the processes of the day it is condemnation we go man is traditional he is a traditionalist he believes in this destiny and step of his ancestors what is happening now the divine operation PTOB is a project PTOB is a movement if you come to Lugustes where I am now I had the opportunity of listening to the leaders of that party that's labor party talk about inclusion from the ruling party to start out what they have because these people who are on food they now want to go out they don't want to be removed but this time around the divine hand is against them can I go on sir yes please well it's it's really interesting um oh Anizen Dibo is taking a stand and everybody is taking their stand and you have talked about the fact that they governed are different from their governors so I don't know how that relationship will will be now I don't know what it is that you intend to do to keep the people who are governed on one one page and the people who are governing on another page yeah but that would be the next question because Dr. Charles you can hear me I'm listening to you okay that would be the next question because we in the in the in the past we've seen groups and political parties and you know come together to you know try and have conversations with their with their aggrieved members I don't know if the the southeastern governors have made their points clear on why they are not very supportive about the candidacy of upita obi but do you see a point where there's going to be a meeting to you know quench these grievances and get everybody to be on the same page well it goes to representing if they can come to the same page with the people but I know in it means and individually among them they know the truth are you getting me I won't be surprised if at the end of the day they decide to tour the line of the market it may not be a surprise to me are you getting me they may at the end of the day return to the focus where the masses are looking at yes so it is going to be very important if they can decide to do that because like I said what is happening now never happened in the history of Nigerian politics okay what is happening now never happened before in Nigerian politics yes and if you haven't had the opportunity of listening to me he may respond to one after the other and you don't need to ask questions or go to the library to conduct research to find out what are you saying what you're saying is true for this occasion it will be a pleasant to me the governor can make a new term I know individualism of them know the the fact what's going to be the point of what they are doing if they consider if they continue on that on that line there are two there are two things Dr. Charles that that went on that one of them has been debunked now by Honezen Dibo the first is that they took soludo to the deities I know Honezen Dibo has said this is not what happened but they have taken a stand and we have been made to know what that stand is the second thing that also went wild uh sort of was that uh they were the people the stakeholders in the southeast are threatening that the governor soludo might just have to serve only one tenor did this thing also happen just finally before we go you're very correct if we follow what is happening it is obvious that two of these governors two let me numb them them might not have the opportunity of returning to seat after their tenure and uh coming to the intro for Honezen you know Honezen is a is a is a tribal for umbrella body it's a national body for Dibo uh it is not going to be very good for them to get so much in depth involved into the political because everybody about two or three people are trying to occupy this number one national thing so it won't be good in the name of Honezen they begin to endorse one person but that doesn't preclude it doesn't remove the knowledge that we both are one as well as the future we project in some time have I made my point clear yes you have made your point clear and would like to thank you at this point for uh sharing your thoughts and giving our situation report as it were from the east thank you so much doctor for coming on the program I think next time which I'll be on disney together okay that will be so good we're looking forward to it thank you very much thank you well so there it is yes but one thing I liked is that he said no matter how much we would like to look at Peter Obi as an Igbo man Peter Obi is a project in Nigerian projects not and that's one thing I like about the politics going on right now um even though some people we know are using the regional card they're playing the regional card we still see them preaching the gospel of the oneness of Nigeria and so and and that's a good thing for me so if we are voting for people it's not because they come from where we come from but because we align with the kind of ideologies that they are putting forward it may not be Obi may not be any other person that we are even calling now 2023 might just surprise us and throw up a candidate that we never thought about because everybody will be fighting everybody else and someone just speaks it but like Obi said one day when he was being interviewed that when they told him that to to win for him to win is going to be a miracle and he said well everything about me is a miracle so if I win it will just be one of them so maybe there'll be one person one miracle that God is going to throw to us but at the end of the day this is our Nigeria and we're praying that 2023 really defines Nigeria and puts it in a very very good footing and we can you know make motivational statements as much as we want but if you do not have your PVC and you do not come out to vote and participate we might still be telling the same story for the next eight years so get your PVC's and cast your vote wisely that's all I can say well until we meet again tomorrow for another edition of the run-up stay fit stay healthy and be patriotic my name is Nyam Gul at Gadget thanks for being there

I've been working, I've worked with the Education for Development and Democracy Initiative, EDI. As the Lizing Officer, we have a section in the organization where we call the American Corner. The American Corner is a corner that brings a lot of resources of the American people. Beginning awareness, a lot of books to read, video chats and the rest. So I've known so many things about the American culture, so I don't think I have any different idea or so when I came in.
