Yeah, I'm absolutely delighted, you know, it's great reward for the last three and a half years at the Wanderers and it's been a great time here so far and I'm thoroughly enjoying it and I feel great, my body's good and I'm looking forward to the next two years. Yeah, definitely, I think I'm improving day by day and that's what it's all about getting better, improving and as long as my body stays well I can go on and continue to play the way I am. It's my teammates grinding the opposition down before I jump on and with my fresh legs just come on and do what I do and it's up to me to finish the opposition off majority of the time and it's worked of late. Ah look, I'd love to start every week but Bridges in red hot form at the moment and I'll continue to enjoy the role I'm playing for now and whenever required to start or come off the bench I'm always ready.


I don't understand tree-huggers. What is the environment ever done for us? It's not like it provides oxygen, resources for tools, housing, clothes, food, and technology or anything important like that. And it's definitely not like it's home to various species of plants and animals required to keep the ecosystem alive, to continue to feed mankind's insatiable appetite to destroy, consume, and rebuild in his own image, ultimately resulting in the annihilation of the very world that brought him into existence!  The environment clearly exists for us to skin innocent animals that are minding their own business so we can wear them as high fashion. I mean, just look at bears.  Well guess what, Yogi? It's payback time. And what better way to give it than undercover is one of their own. They'll never see it coming.     At second level, you can fulfill every furry's dream and transform into an animal, but not just any old lameo neon-colored oversaturated mess like Arjun Darksnout, the rainbow dog with an indie band t-shirt over there. No, I mean cool animals like my original character, Grable Gene, the nocturnal giant Toad. Don't steal! Your archetype will be based around whether you want to be part of the forces of nature or if you wanted to work for you. To list them off, land for different flavors of spells, moon for when you want to take your fursona to the next level, dreams for if you secretly want to play a cleric, shepherd for if you want to be king of the wigglers, spores for if you want to reenact the last of us, and twilight for that sweet sweet edge. Just like all the classes, your features improve with their level, where druid's differs that their animal-related features mean that the beasts you summon or where fursuits of don't necessarily get stronger, but rather they're thrown into the garbage and replaced by things with increasingly more fleas.  Imagine this scenario, you're walking in the woods, there's no one around and your phone is dead. Suddenly, spiky thorns sprout out around you, making movement painful.  Design an encounter for that, dungeon master, and now you know how to play druid, you're welcome.


Coming up on DTNS our notes on the new galaxy notes and there are two of them actually kind of four of them FedEx breaks up with Amazon and tardigrades on the moon This is the Daily Tech news for Wednesday, August 7th 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline I'm Sarah Lane while my wife is in Los Angeles. I'm in Salt Lake City, and I'm Scott Johnson, and I'm the show's producer Roger chain Made it made it real awkward for me there Scott. That's weird. She's there She just happens to be there somewhere so look at her If you are a subscriber to good day internet, which you can get through our patreon patreon.com slash DTNS You got to hear us just talk about havelinas and in jasmine green tea and honeysuckle and all kinds of good stuff Let's start right now with a few tech things you should know In advance of the announcement of its galaxy note 10 Which we will talk about in great detail later in the show Samsung released details of the ex nos 9825 processor the 9825 is built on a seven nanometer extreme ultraviolet and uses the same cheetah m4 cores and Mali g76 GPU as the 9820 it includes an LTE modem with a potential maximum of two gigabits per second along with neural Processing unit for AI and augmented reality the government of Kazakhstan said Tuesday It's stopping a requirement for mobile phone operators to ask customers to install an encryption certificate That gave the government permission to access all encrypted data several lawyers sued Kazakhstan through three sued their three mobile carriers over threats to restrict internet access to those That did not install the certificate Kazakhstan State Security Committee said the program was a test to see Or sorry a test that is now over and users can uninstall the certificate. It's just a test We were just kidding. Yeah, we don't see us The information reports Apple will only let iOS apps run voiceover internet protocol in the background During a call in other words if you're not using the app It's not gonna let it do background stuff the change will arrive with iOS 13 in September Existing apps will be given until April 2020 to comply VoIP in the background can connect your calls quicker because it can keep things hot It can also potentially collect information on you and Apple's trying to guard against that Disney announced that when Disney plus launches on November 12th It's going to offer a bundle for $12.99 per month that includes content from not only Disney plus But Hulu and ESPN plus as well, which you put them all together is about $5 less than if the services were subscribed to Separately so you like all of them You're gonna save some money Disney also announced a 10 episode Star Wars series with John Favreau, which will be available at launch Yeah, we knew that was coming. Yeah, that's the Mandalorian, right? Yeah, exactly Motherboard reports that Microsoft contractors manually review some voice recordings from skype's automated translation feature and Cortana's voice Assistant in order to improve performance So put Microsoft on the board next to Amazon Google and Apple Microsoft does not associate review data with user accounts And if you're keeping track Google and Apple recently suspended their programs Amazon has added the ability to opt out of having recordings reviewed Microsoft discloses that it uses voice data to improve systems for both skype and Cortana But it does not explicitly say humans may listen to select recordings Microsoft says it gets customer permission Before collecting and using voice data. All right, let's talk a little more about Ninja. How's Ninja doing over there? Mixer Scott. Well another Microsoft property and funny enough five days after leaving twitch to begin streaming on Microsoft's mixer Exclusively, you don't know who Ninja is. He was a gigantic force to be reckoned with on on Twitch and other platforms. His real name is Tyler Ninja Blevins the ninja parts and nickname He has reached 1 million active mixer subscriptions new subscribers to ninjas mixer and get two months free before they need to pay the monthly fee With at least 599 for perks doesn't mean you can't use the service for free You can Blevins has 22 million YouTube subscribers to his channel as well So other platforms still have huge numbers for him This is a gigantic move for him and his fans and I think it actually did what Microsoft intended People still don't quite know what he paid for this or what they paid for this They do know what he was making on Twitch So there's some pretty good ideas about the kind of money that was thrown around to get Ninja to do this But in other words more. Yeah more is what happened. We will beat that number, sir And people are very wealthy enough people that appears Went over with him, you know his loyal fans. That's not quite the sub number he had on Twitch but you know, it's great for a few days and I would I would say anecdotally anyway a lot of people I've talked to have gone and checked the service out out of Pure curiosity not even necessarily followers of Ninja. They just thought well, let's see what the hubbub is Let's go look at this thing I think that's what Microsoft wanted with all of this is just to get their service and people people's eyes Let them see the UI let them see how it works Let them see the differences because up till now It's kind of been a lot of my platforms better than your platform and I'm never even gonna look at yours sort of problem Yeah, it's a great marketing strategy really I mean if he has loyal followers who will move to another platform because he does great and Microsoft is like We're gonna get some of those folks But hopefully even the folks that I don't know made this this may not be a match made in heaven for him on this other platform Might say well mixer was pretty great. So it was it was successful advertising. Yeah I would I also say real quick this this people are always looking for a good comparison to this This reminds me of when Howard Stern left syndicated air, you know over the air radio and went to XM and are rather serious That was it had it's a desired effect at the time a ton of people went over there Bunch of people got it serious because here's where Howard's gonna be but that all still slowed down after a while And I don't know where it's at now. It's probably kind of flat So I don't know what the long term looks like but as far as a quick boost I think they're gonna got what they wanted. Yeah, will Ninja be Howard Stern or Bob Edwards Stay tuned to find out in two months in two months. We'll we'll find out of these these free users stick around and pay FedEx will not renew its ground delivery contract with Amazon when it expires at the end of This month FedEx is express a stopped US air shipments for Amazon back in June And the company still has a contract with Amazon for international deliveries But FedEx is reducing its dependence on Amazon while Amazon builds out its own logistics network and air capacity FedEx will focus on providing more service to other e-commerce companies Including more drop-off and pickup points with companies like Dollar General also putting some more focus into Walmart as well Which is big Amazon competitor Amazon made up about 1.3% of FedEx's sales last year Yeah, so this is interesting because it's FedEx saying you can't fire me. I quit We're not gonna renew the contract before you can dump us before we're too dependent on you And I think that that is a wise thought The idea is that FedEx is going to continue to develop partnerships like they're doing with Dollar General They want to be the e-commerce deliverer for the many e-commerce companies that aren't able to create their own air fleets And their own trucking situations like Amazon is and I think that is also smart UPS Continues to have a huge number of a huge percentage of their Maybe I shouldn't say huge. They have a big percentage of their business coming Yeah, yeah They're going to continue to have a big percentage because Of the departure of FedEx, but we'll we'll see if that ends up biting UPS in the brown later in the brown My favorite thing you've ever said Amazon it says you're made up 1.3% of FedEx's sales last year. I'm a little I know that's that number represents a lot of money Yeah, I'm a little surprised how small that number is. I thought that would be much Worldwide company don't forget like this. This is you know around the world FedEx has millions of clients So 1.3% isn't enough to to lose and get rid of FedEx. Don't forget. They're still doing international stuff for Amazon So they'll still have a big percentage of their business going to Amazon Because it seems like FedEx is like, you know what we're just gonna do better Decoupling ourselves from some such a huge company that's only on the up and up when it comes to to what we actually do and have Done for many decades ourselves It is interesting I think what caught my eye about this story is thinking about Amazon as being in competition with these shippers that they have relied on to Build their business. There's so many parallels to other things where they're like wait You used us to get successful and now you're competing with us Well in the news of big video game companies the big three in fact Microsoft Sony and Nintendo Will require all game publishers to disclose the odds of receiving types of in-game items from loot boxes and future titles One would think this would include other things other than loot boxes card decks that kind of stuff as well But we'll have to wait and see the entertainment software association Which all three companies belong to announced the new initiative at a loot box workshop at the Federal Trade Commission Some video game publishers already include drop rates and others such as Activision Blizzard Bandai Namco both Bethesda bungee a take two Interactive Ubisoft and Warner Brothers and Wizard of the coast have agreed to do so by the end of 2020 The Xbox PlayStation and Nintendo switch are included in the commitment, but not PC games That's a little more of a Wild West kind of scenario. I did want to say In all of this this comes at a time where you're also seeing Some other news come in about people developers and publishers dropping loot boxes all together as a monetization method And some of them are big like for example Yeah rocket League yesterday or two days ago forget now yesterday. Yeah, we talked about it in good day internet right after the show Yeah, they made a they made a bit of a splash with that announcement They haven't been super well a little forthcoming about what their plans are It's basically a battle pass and I thought this would be an interesting way to at least put out there this idea that or at least my Theory that more and more developers publishers Regardless of how much their games may currently rely on loot boxes as their monetization method I think you're gonna move away from chance-based Item getting and move to something like a battle pass that you see in almost every single battle royale game most notably fortnight Those are I think a fairer more sort of laid out option for consumers They see it and they know exactly what they're gonna get you pay ten fifteen bucks Whatever it is and you know for this amount of time that I'm gonna unlock this amount of items And if I play a lot, I'm gonna do this much faster than anybody else But you know what you're gonna get and when you're gonna get it And they take that kind of roll of the dice out of there taking the games out of gaming kind well Taking some chance out of your game an extra mini game within the game if you want to call it that is absolutely I think going to go away So in some ways all this discussion about Releasing numbers for chances of winning and all that sort of stuff I think is gonna become mood at some point because I really do believe there are better Options and some that haven't been explored yet for consumers to pay that are more fair That don't have all the scrutiny that don't have all these problems and it will end up being a problem that kind of kills itself Kills itself or solves itself solves itself. Sorry. It's bad use of term there. I would say I would say that this is This is a good Thing that everybody's focused on it that people are worried about it I actually think this is really healthy. It keeps things in line. It makes us sort of go. All right Well, let's discuss what's good. What's not in the meantime other innovations are happening and as those have happened I think they're ready to pick them right up a game like Overwatch For example, which relies entirely on loot boxes as their monetization method post game sale Could just turn around tomorrow and do a battle past something like that and have players glom on to it in a heartbeat I would yeah, so yeah, we'll see how it goes All right, everybody. Let's talk about worshiping. You might say what's worshiping? Well security researchers at IBM's X-Force Red say that worshiping can be a very effective way for an attacker to gain access to a Target's network just by packaging up a device and then shipping it through the mail Maybe they would even use FedEx the researchers developed a proof-of-concept device the size of a small phone Equipped with the 3g modem that could be remote controlled through cell service So the device would periodically scan for nearby networks when it reached its destinations front door or maybe a mail room Or maybe a loading dock then the researchers could run tools to either passively or actively attack the targets wireless access The device also known as a worship Would listen for some kind of a handshake You know somebody getting Wi-Fi access say and then sends the scramble data back to the attacker servers Which are gonna be a lot faster than this 3g modem small device to try to crack the hash into a readable Wi-Fi password And this is all done before anybody even opens up the package and there's sort of the genius part of this Yeah, the idea being you do this fast, right? It's done internet speed and once yeah You could you could do it by walking up to a target, but maybe you don't live in the same country or something Yeah, the other weakness I could see in this is if somebody does open up the package They're gonna see that there's all this electronics in there And possibly ask the IT department, you know, what's that about or they're gonna freak out, right? And be like a bomb or something a lot of attention is going to be called to a package like that at which point Your security engineers hopefully will start combing the network looking for an intrusion So the smart thing to do if you're the attacker would be to send this to somebody who no longer works there So that it just sits around in the mail It's meant for Bob but Bob isn't here anymore. I will say anecdotally I am this might be effective with some office or office building mail rooms But the ones I've in the offices I've worked at the mail rooms have always been dead zones for cell phone Activity so if companies want to be proactive just bury the mail room at the bottom of the building where the foundation Package isn't gonna always be in the mail room, right? Yeah, I'd be on it worse than happen fast So it just needs to know it's close enough to the building to get that Wi-Fi access point and then it can it can get in There super fast and I'm by no means a target But I've got two boxes over here on this table that I've had for a week because I haven't had time to look and see What's in them different case obviously, but that's what you'll see you'll see people at their desks We're like, I don't have time for this that's from so-and-so or that's a thing or whatever I'm just gonna look at it later, and it would just sort of sit there and stew right I mean your idea of having a fair day cage around anything makes I think makes sense and Inspecting packages that are to you know that are not being delivered To make sure like wait a minute. This was sent to Bobby doesn't work anymore What's that about but there are rules about opening other people's mail, right? This is done by IBM X-Force red As a penetration test method when they're going in and and trying to see if a company's network is secure This is one of the things they've been doing To try to penetrate the network and see if there are weaknesses I smell a business opportunity if anyone's interested. I'm gonna create a line of variable size lead line delivery boxes Well, how would that help Because the attacker's not gonna want to use them When you get something shipped you instead of just leaving on your porch whatever you dropping in the box Yeah, a box for the boxes Forage box for undelivered pack correct. Yeah. No, I'm with you now That's not bad that way you're not erasing something you may actually want it You're just limiting its ability to get violating postal rules by opening somebody else's mail The other concern I would have is that these are just gonna get smaller so they said it's about the size of a cell phone That's gonna get Significantly smaller to the point Tom that I could send you a package that looked like it was for you I gave you a bus or one of those novelty gift cards that plays music when it opens But that's right also has a 3g or 5g modem, right?  I'm worried I think one has hot sauce in it and the other one has Oreos for real The BBC reports on an Israeli spacecraft that crashed intentionally on the moon in April carrying a payload of Dehydrated tardigrades some of which were encased in amber tardigrades if you don't know Are also sometimes called water bears or I just learned today from the BBC sometimes called moss piglets Can reduce metabolism to zero point zero one percent of their normal rate and be reanimated Decades after dehydration. These are these are living creatures They are living creatures that can stay dehydrated and then become alive. I mean, they're still alive But but become active again. Yeah with a little bit of water now the mission of the moon was part of the arch missions lunar library It included DVD with lots of information about humanity DNA samples, etc. The arch mission foundation is dedicated to preserving flora and fauna of earth by storing it in space They want to send these packages to multiple parts of the solar system in order to to have a Sort of a security blanket look kind of like the seed vault up in Svalbard Which unfortunately is now threatened because Svalbard's melting and it's getting too hot to store the seeds properly This is like hey, let's let's store a little bit about humanity to let whoever comes next know we were here a lot of people are upset about this though because They took great pains when they visited the moon to not Contaminate the moon with anything from earth if possible and these folks just put a bunch of dehydrated tardigrades on the surface Right, they don't get into the crash process. So I don't know how that works. How all your moss piglets survive a well I mean the crash thing just means that they didn't have a soft landing But but essentially don't worry don't focus too much on the crash. It didn't hurt the tardigrades They were already dehydrated So the tardigrades are okay. Here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna We're gonna keep polluting our local space systems and then one day we're gonna get to the moon and go all right time for a base and Lord high time tardigrades gonna come walking out of a cave at 8 And he's gonna kill us he's gonna just laser us down and Out and drifted until it found some some liquid water on the moon somehow and then mutated. Yeah, no I mean how how tough is this amber there in Kaston? Yeah, I don't know the tardigrades might not murdered Kaston amber if I read this right either. So yeah, well Fascinating it's not like they went up there and put a bunch of beer cans I mean, this is a I mean besides we left bits of a rover a flag a lunar landing We as far as we know we took we took great pains to make sure that those didn't carry Anything that would that would be left behind and yes, so if I Feel for the tardigrade community. I think it's I think it's okay. We're not living on the moon. They can have it I can't wait for a future theme park. We're tardigrades on the moon. That's right. I mean, we're all going to Mars We're gonna bypass the moon anyway. It's it's a nice gesture. Yeah, I look forward to the moss piglet ride Band name. Hey focus you want to get all tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines calm Samsung very Inconsiderately announced the galaxy note 10 a mere 50 minutes ago But thankfully let the NDA expire right at the beginning of their announcement So we're able to bring you all of our thoughts on the new notes There is a Samsung galaxy note 10 and a note 10 plus if you want a stylus But not a massive phone the note 10 is for you if you want the true air to the note 9 You probably want the note 10 plus here are the differences the note 10 has a 6.3 inch screen So it's actually a little smaller than the note 9. It's an HDR 10 plus certified OLED screen It's very nice screen 3,500 milliamp hour battery a little smaller battery to starts at $949 little smaller price to 8 gigabytes of ram 256 gigabytes of storage now the galaxy note 10 plus is what you would have expected 6.8 inch screen also HDR 10 plus certified OLED 4300 milliamp hour battery starts at $1099 12 gigabytes of ram 256 gigabytes of storage or if you want to pay 1199 you can get 512 gigabytes of storage and The it supports power adapters up to 45 watts for some pretty fast charging now Those are the differences both of these notes share an excellent proper Processor like we talked about in some markets, but most markets will get the Snapdragon 855 The s-pen did not come with a camera in it like many rumors thought But does have bluetooth le an accelerometer and a gyroscope so it can do motion control It can do a little bit of hover action Mostly with photos it seems right now they they say they're going to make the dev kit available for others. We'll see The screen has a tone mapping. It's dynamic amulet There's a wide angle camera at 16 megapixels the main camera is 12 megapixels dual aperture Telephoto camera is 12 megapixels and then the selfie camera on the front front is 10 megapixels has LTE cat 2.0 Of course it at Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 and in screen fingerprint sensor So there's no fingerprint sensor on the back on the note anymore And the one that will make nilai and many other people cry no headphone jack now Samsung claims That's how they got the 4300 milliamp hour battery in there They were able to add a few more amps because they had more space for the battery They also say that the haptic feedback should be improved because they don't have to work around the hollow cavity From the phone jack inside you're mildly to may vary whether you believe them or not No dongle we talked about the fact that they might include a dongle No, the dongle is sold separately if you want to have the mini jack to usbc adapter That's 10 bucks. They will include usbc headphones in the box No more bixby button unlike the headphone jack I doubt many people will be sad about this if you do want to use bixby stuff Long press on the power button now The notes will come in four colors. You've got improved video stabilization because apparently they ping the sensor more often There's a little nifty thing in there for using the three mics to do some beam forming and isolate the audio coming from where you're pointing the camera So that you get better audio from what you're shooting pre-ordering starts today Shipping august 23rd And if you want a note 10 5g You're basically getting the note 10 plus with 5g pre-orders for that start august 10th Shipping also august 23rd for 1300 dollars from verizon for a limited time It'll eventually come to other carriers in the us as well Otherwise, uh, that's pretty much like the note 10 plus and the other thing I want to note here is the dex app Which lets you use your samsung phone like a desktop by connecting it to to keyboard and mouse Is now going to have an app for mac and windows That will allow you to plug the note 10 or 10 plus into your computer And get a window with all your phone apps in it. This will not work with the s10 This will only work with the note, uh, but it will let you drag and drop files And it will have built-in support for microsoft's your phone for windows 10. So there you go The new the note 10 plus definitely seems like the air to the note And the new note 10 is sort of for people who don't want the bigness of the note, but they want the stylus Yeah, uh I'll just say that is a hot phone Like there's a lot in there and it sounds really good to me. Uh, I think the size sounds great I think everything you described in the spec sounds great like I am I am all for that device actually weirdly. I'm kind of an apple iphone guy not trying to make us buy apple I do like a stylus too. I do like a stylus and you know quick sketches on the go. That's interesting to me. Um, I don't know like I really need to see that new tablet They're working on like there's a lot of stuff happening under the hood over there at That samsung that has me a little bit interested this time around but um, what a what a gorgeous device that thing looks like You can use that s pen like a wand It's basically you can you can do like gestures and stuff with it. It's pretty interesting six access motion sensor in there Can I do magic with it? Because if not, I mean if you're playing the harry potter game. Yeah, probably Hey, I didn't think of that I mean sarah, is this push you any Kind of closer to a samsung phone that things a monster. Well, it certainly doesn't push me away You know, I know that people get upset about the no headphone jack Although many devices are moving in that direction and I've been complaining about this for years and I've gotten over it I've got my dongle seven or ten bucks for a dongle. It's not free But it's not going to break the bank either Not having a bixby bucks button makes perfect sense to me a long press on the power button You know after a week you'd forget that you ever wanted a bixby button in the first place bixby and I Venture a guess that not a lot of people wanted to begin with And uh, yeah, it's it's this is a nice device. It's not cheap But it's priced competitively to to other high-end phones in this arena and I know a lot of people are pretty pretty happy about this unpacked event Yeah, I I also can we all stop complaining about phones that don't have headphone jacks because now they're going to start all Not having them and then we can put that to bed. I want to be done with it It's like floppy drives in the 90s and CD drives here lately. Let's like just be done with that conversation I'm glad samsung's going toward a future where we're just gonna be wireless with our headphones and people are gonna be mad at me for this Don't email tom. I don't want him to have to defend me. You can tell me on twitter But I I am infinitely annoyed that people are annoyed by headphone jacks being taken away It's fine. It's the natural progression. It's this old analog thing So I like I mean, I'm wearing really nice headphones that I would actually use more If they could plug into my current phone So I get it.  But I'm I'm with you wireless all the way. Yep Take that tom All right, good luck. Good luck All right, scott and I will weather the storm The moon creatures will help us. Thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit Whether you like headphone jacks or not, we're glad to have you It's a bit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit.com or else on facebook We got a group there facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show I would say let's check out the mailbag, but it's from twitter It is in fact gadget smart on twitter. Very good twitter handle. I wonder how long you've been on twitter Averapied roger and me and tom from our gdi conversation yesterday We were talking about the idea of putting cups on coasters and when you should do that and when it's okay not to Everybody had a different opinion a leaky cup that I had a leaky cup I told a story and everyone said well, you should use coaster So uh gadget smart said I got a got a solution Something called a hydro flask tumbler. She says it's not my employer no affiliation link If you go to hydro flask dot com slash spirits, you'll see what I mean It appears that these are more designed to just keep your drinks cool and keep the ice from You know condensation getting on the outside, but I guess that also works as a coaster as well Uh, well, yeah, because they they don't because of the way they're constructed They're supposedly don't have condensation build up on the outside. Yeah, you don't get the ring. Yeah, I uh hydro flasks are a thing We've talked about it on it's a thing actually, uh, they they're huge right now So i'm not i'm not surprised that this would come up as the solution Um bringing bringing reality to gadget smart's twitter name. Yeah knowing that their slogan is savor every sip Because it doesn't warm up. Yeah, there you go Or maybe I just drink everything out of my travel coffee mug where nothing cools down By the way, rum wall did say this in chat yesterday insulated cups don't sweat so All right, all right replace all your cups and then you don't have to put your Coffee mug on a book and ruin your nightstand And listen to gdi for more stories like this Uh, thanks to gadget smart and everybody who gave us good ideas about uh coaster less life And also thanks to scott johnson for being with us today scott.

I Think we'll take a pause there and say good morning to Ginny Johnson chief lecturer at Nigerian Institute of Journalism Thank you for joining us this morning sir Good morning and good morning to our viewers all over the world and what it's Friday. Hopefully we have time to rest about the Absolutely. There's so many very interesting stories from Forex to Abba Kiari to of course the APC Congress but the big one of course that has made all the headlines is the Supercop Abba Kiari and the allegations that have been made against him by the FBI and of course his arrest warrant in the United States for Allegedly, you are getting involved with Hosh poppy and a lot more. Let's start with that Ginny Johnson. What are your thoughts? Well, I'm They said that the IGP set up a committee to investigate every allegation that I think is the headline in the In one of the names to party with it was it was it was crafted The I have got to cut to to make such Allegations and demand before the presentation before the court and the court granting the order of FBI to seek the arrest of Abba Kiari and others is not only about Kiari, but I think about five orders In connection with Hosh poppy Crime allegedly crime and I shall crime It should be a cause of concern for the Nigerian police the body the entire image of the Nigerian police as an institution and the country Nigeria as well as the character in this allegation It is not like Nigeria whereby your presentation before Before when we have one we have media triad before the actual triad Commences. You have not seen Hosh poppy being presented before the media by the American No, first man officer. So this guy stole money. They've not they've not done that What he did is to carry out the investigation other than investigation. They took the matter to do to To the courts and for the courts to grant them orders to do whatever they want to do Well, I think The IGT is saying that they want to Investigate what FBI has investigated what tool or resources Does Nigeria I'm sure even the New York police department has more resources More intelligence gathering the methods and techniques as he holds than even the Nigerian police The best bed you should have done is to have suspended the car time Because if it's They reverse the case let us do that. It's another Niger that is accused and it's been Accused by a beer and what if you did I hear police will have arrested that person and them You have arrested you know, even with for any investigation or what it will have arrested That person and that person will have faced media triad even before if he's the actual triad I think what the IGP should do is to is to ask them the guy to proceed on administratively While he's carrying out his investigation Concerning concerning the banter the FBI will not cover publicly before the court to require His arrest and if you are very cumbersome is that cumbersome with what happened in Nigeria I ask this question What is the salary of this character in question that he said the guy saw it Needy on social media and he asked him to him so 200,000 what of clothes from himself? Where does it get the money to show? 200,000 what is salary? What's the salary at that particular point in time for him to suit 200,000 a what of clothes? That is he's a liaison officer Between East a law and all spokeie and don't also forget. We saw this character romancing with the people in the in the in the in the popular culture industry and the demand Movies and the and the rest and the rest of it. So it should be asked to proceed on administratively The Niger police want to save his image and to work in line with that purpose And if you are cumbersome with what happened in the larger in the larger society What does if if your lecturer if your lecturer are you working the university system? Working politics and modern techno is the the issue of Boyce is a prevalent in in every institution except want to play to the gallery or play to leave your street You see student being guarded by military men. You see student being guarded by police. We just see this is police They demand someone has little money. Yes, or police has caught on the rest of it But there's a critical element of what he said the use of state institution To pursue personal and private agenda that But the use of state institution and resources and personal to prosecute Personal agenda is a critical aspect that most people are not paying attention to because this guy was paid allegedly To ensure that is is his rival was jailed and we have seen situation We have I have gone to parties whereby the police escort of a private citizen We beat up people or even beat up security. We will beat up the The bouse as all the local security people you provide it because they escorted the escorted That's it. We turn because as the time they use because they are criminal They escorted one big person quote-unquote to a public function and it was it was it was it was Disgraced by by people would not recognize his status in the position. So that's a critical aspect that we need we need to look at The use of state security by private individual Who use their personal resources to acquire the authority and the power of the state using state instrument of Law enforcement to oppress other citizens when you drive on the road You see them when you drive when you drive on the road You see them with their siren they have no public office oppressing you on the road So that's a critical issue that we need to look into even those that are elected into public office Do not have any right to use siren to pursue your life of the road They don't have any right at all to use siren What should you siren on your employer the people are the people the people are the employers of those in public service Why should they go now use siren to set the citizen away from the road and that's absolute nonsense Those are some of the issues we begin to look at when we begin to move forward that we think before the national assembly If a public officer if there is traffic, we should not go to that traffic You don't use your your siren your police or military men don't jump out of your car and clear the road for you And leave everyone of us in the mess. We must go to the mess. You have created Let me stop on that there on that particular All right, let's go to another story. I think I'm gonna stay also with the daily independent It's on 2023. I take what we're telling the current administration and party get ready to leave us a rock in 2023 um, I take who tells buhari and the apc of course, uh, there was Stories of uh, reconciliation between himself and yes on wiki Let's let's and the interesting thing. I mean reverse state presently The interesting thing is um Let's look let's look at the story from a reverse angle Test to live in 2023 But I do not interested in leaving In 2023 these are the implications you look from reverse angle from the story. Are we even sure there will be election in 2023? um, are we even sure article will run on Will run on the platform of pdp and not on the platform of another party because since 2007 As you go as floated Is presidential admission at different parties at different? Different different forum even so less with concerning that and let's start the story to the apc story That says them and there is there is um There is confusion or over boonies boonies Continuous ship of the apc. We have said it is an illegality. It's just that the supreme court was not as bold as it was in 2019 otherwise the election of On those two do have been thrown out and pdp will have been declared We now got that election because you don't build up. You don't be something or nothing And what you have with respect to what it this is is illegality and I've said it over time um, you do need rocket science to understand the the the absorptivity And the legality and the impunity with which our political class Display the authority and power and do a signal body can hold them accountable And that's the responsibility of the media going into section 22 of 99 Nigerian section 36 of 99 Nigerian as amended and the role of the judiciary with respect to Interpreting the law and ensuring that everybody complies with how can you have a chaotic arrangement in the political party? In a political party that is a ruling party that is the having a system and structure that contravenes the constitution of that party Boonee is an elected governor There's a particular thing a dog can not be too smart to To to to guard two houses at that new rule How can you be a governor and at the same time you manage a national party? a national party Wow How can how can you success me and the constitution of the party first at that and a pc has perpetuated that illegality Is that a perpetuated that that illegality for almost for close to one year? What does it cost them for them when the national chairman resigned? What does it cost them for them to have the deputy national chairman to superten the party until they have their congresses? But that national congress was dissolved by fiat Was dissolved by fiat and then boonee's Um Categor committee was instituted with governor's pig fund from each of the geopolitical zone to fund the catheter committee And then you have to add that within three months a pc will have put his house another Three months when after six months is ten was extended They are meant to start their congresses Tomorrow, how are you sure that at the end of the day based on the supreme court judgment on? On on on those things with respect to the status of the national chairman How are you sure that whatever they are going to do is not going to be Right is not going to be notified and we have said it on this program if you keep track Yeah, we have said it on this program that What they are doing cannot stand the test of water cannot stand the test of constitutionalism and the beauty of democracy is to test The the constitutionalism of the actions of the actors and the players in the democratic process and the courts And the courts will rule we rule on that on on on on that matters So we don't need to rocketize a pc suffer some losses in 2019 for example in zamfara state For and we didn't have election. We didn't have Candidates in river state The lost election in bazaar state to force major to their own technical And why would they continue on on that on that level? Finally, I'll say this Any party that does not have respect for his constitution Which Brought about his establishment once he gets to power will not have respect for the constitution of nigeria Is very clear if I go into the archive and I bring out what my media interviews I've said this more than 100 times any question So you don't need rocket science to understand that if you don't if you are from apc You don't respect the constitution of apc or you are from pdp you don't respect the constitution of pdp and you get to power Through the party platform. You know I've respect for the question of nigeria All right, you know I've respect for the question. You let's talk about That's why the issue to the most case the dds Up the dss when got a court order to detain people the court required them to present the people The dss said okay, we are still holding them based on court order. How many court order on the abuari administration On the abuari's administration as we know first and we know bait by the executive Because people don't believe that we live in a society. There are no laws the supremacy of the constitution Is the fundamental principle of the rule of law the the constitution is supreme Is the supreme is what is what determines what happens in the society It's pretty much the same thing with namdi kanu's case where he also wasn't taken to court And they blame It's the same thing It's the same people don't think that they can go scot free with their actions They turn themselves to be the law of the society and that's what you have in autocratic society Whereby the fires of position of authority believes that they are bigger than the society They are bigger than the state and we have told people this devil crazy Was fought and won for on the altar of two tests on the altar Of the right for self-determination on how to be governed because we are being ruled by military regime And which is antithetical to democratic principle and people protested that no we don't want military regime We want democratic governors And that's why we have democratic governors that we want to be ruled and this is the right of everybody And for people to think that today Because you occupy position of authority. They are larger than the state. They have decision themselves It's just a matter. It's just a matter of time. Anyone in position of authority that thinks that we will be there forever Is just deceiving himself Namdi kanu's case Why can't you bring him to court to arrest somebody bring him to court? We like we said when we review the matter Once the case is brought to court and is reviewed in court. I tell you it's no longer in the hand of the dss Then is no longer in the hand. It has gotten to the at most a judgment pronouncement For example, Elzazaki and his wife was released in the course of this week The court said the federal government had no case after five years of detention You know, many times they did not take it to court and I've said it. We must vote the regardless of our party affiliation Regardless of our partisanship We must boldly condemn any acts or actions Of government that is antithetical to democratic principle It might be you tomorrow that it does in authority I want to use this instrument of the state to our price If they wake up tomorrow, they say they want to close all the media houses in Nigeria. What are we going to do? We must not keep silence in the eyes of tyranny We are not saying people should engage in criminal activities Anyone that engages in criminal activity should be arrested and be prosecuted Prosecute the person following the law of the land and the international charter and treaty you have signed to Prosecute him taking him to court. Let the court run through his process. Be fair Let's start the story to what the president told the british prime minister yesterday He said the government will not interfere in the judicial process of those that are involved in terrorism He said the government will not interfere But you have in the speech of the president doesn't mark the actions of the department of justice in Nigeria Which we call the ministry of justice and some of us have said it that The office of the attorney general of the state of the state and that of the minister of justice should be separated To be separated and we should we should let that office from from from politics Because that has a critical role in the administration and dispensation of justice in the country The situation where you accuse somebody of the crime and took you five years before you present that person before court And what what what is that justice? I'm sure there is exactly shisudi state And get compensation for these five years of his life that is taken as wasted Yeah Because at the end of the day when the case went to court the court ruled on the matter that the federal government had no case And do we want to have similar patterns like we have with uh, mustafa um, and mustafa of of The chief security officer of of of abacha wants to become a presidential candidate in in Nigeria today We must allow the court system the judicial process to follow its due course We must not provide court will in the will of justice so that justice can be done and justice can be served and everybody will have confidence in the All right, finally, Julie Johnson.  What what what do you think we in Nigeria is the only nation where you see people selling foreign currency on the street What you just need to do is to go to major market And how do you have to stabilize your currency when you when every time we can hurry engages in In in in in forex in forex in forex 20 this is welcome development at least you must have control mechanism You must have a control mechanism as as regards to how the exchange treat of your of your naira to other foreign currency is done And I hope the central bank of no as as as the Deliver and the power to go ahead with this Correct directly because if you want to buy forex, you don't be buying it on the street of even buying on the street of Of legal or any part of this country But if you go to the bank to do that that will be able to regulate and that will be able to keep track of What correct is gone and then we have a unified exchange rate Not that you have one for the banks. You have for one for those that are trading Trading trading outside of the former banking banking sector is a welcome development If you're able to do that, I can assure you that our currency will stabilize go to any part of West Africa or any part of the world and see me where people will just work up to you You know open spaces until you come and buy come and buy the police will have arrested The police will arrest such people and then they will go to jail if you're able to do that naira will stabilize Then don't see the Um value increases in our lifetime in our eyes better than the naira even stronger than the naira And we want naira to be strong because once naira is strong our economy will be better And there will be opportunities for people to engage in one form of trade both local and international trade Because I'll be confident in naira and that's what you don't want naira confidence We'll be eating of the past. Okay. Thank you Thank you also. Thank you for joining us this morning. Enjoy your conversations always and we wish you a great weekend ahead Thank you. It's a pleasure to be with you.
