Good Tuesday morning to you. You are watching what in the morning your favorite breakfast show We do this every Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. And 10 a.m. Today being Tuesday. It is entrepreneurship Tuesday It's about time we let you know what the young people are out here doing to make ends meet and to empower other people and with us in Studio we have we have a group which is Power Moja initiative and They're making us know today and they're teaching the rest of us today to see the opportunity in the challenge So today we are going to be having a small conversation about what they're doing for all the youth such as What can I say unsaved unsaved underserved underserved?  Well, Power Moja initiative is here with you So we we're here today with the founder and the senior facilitator one Jesse Jackson and Titus Korea Please say good morning to the wine the morning family for the first time and my name is Hilda. What did he buy the way? Good morning. Why family? Very glad to be here. Thank you for having us. All right. Good morning. Why family? I'm glad to be here looking forward for an interesting session. Okay So what so what so what was the idea behind this initiative? What inspired this initiative? What was it about the youth that you saw that that that made you feel like we need to do something for this before what happened? First of all, I grew up in Madari and like any other marginalized area. There are a lot of challenges especially connected to young people and Through those challenges, I went through I didn't want the same challenges to be felt They are coming youth and that's why I decided to start Power Moja initiative basically to challenge young people to look at the opportunities in Those challenges that they are going through because there are a lot of challenges in the community. So what are those challenges? Issues to do with employment mostly issues to do with hygiene environment Issues to do with crime issues to do with drugs as you know that Madari is like the capital of Changa and other Bruce. So the youth They don't have so many opportunities to really develop their skills or earn a good Living so what we do as Power Moja initiative is that we look at these biggest challenges in the community and we Come up together with young people develop solution and we engage these young people to implement those solutions So we have programs in different primary schools different high schools And also we work with the youth that have finished school because we want to to make sure that Every facet of the community is touched by our work. So what is your age bracket? Because I'm hearing are they those in school or those outside school? What is the age bracket for the youths that you are your particular be targeted? Mainly we we target people who have just finished high school and are transitioning to University or they're not doing anything in between because also university education is very expensive. Yes so we try to Tap into them because they have a lot of idle time during that time, you know School is a system you wake up at a certain time you go to lunch at a certain time and then you go to bed at a certain time So once you are out there, you are free and a lot can happen. So we try to tap them We give them skills. We give them tools. We train them to be to be local Community leaders, but also at the same time to think globally. So we also teach them about being Good global cities and you know taking care of the of the environment they live in knowing very well that it affects the outside world And through that that's how we come up with some solutions and programs that they go and facilitate in different primary schools and high schools So that's the connection that we have. Okay, speaking of facilitation the senior facilitator is here He has mentioned a certain group of people who are involved may be in drugs or they've given up or they're in crime And what have you how do you get those individuals to want to make? What do you call it 180 degree time in life and decide wow?  Okay I've been being raised in another community a product of Such organization a community based organization. I and I went my high school with a scholarship program I saw it was that most of my Schoolmate primary schoolmate the the girls and the boys who are not able to make it to high-level education So I saw it was what can I do for the community or what can I give back to the community? So I came back. I like I was like with this information the knowledge that I have from University high school. What can I do? Can I give it back to the community? So I? I started facilitating and lucky enough the organization was really there for more initiative What was there? It was just a man power that was needed. So we came in like I've been first stator for More four years right now. Oh, yeah, so it's been a good experience that exposure like holding your younger brothers were down here telling them that There's something good out of this life. There's something how do you convince them? That is what I'm curious because some of them end up in jail Then they come out then they want to rehabilitate themselves or They just don't want to listen at that point. There's a lot of influence. So how do you get them to listen to you? I'm very curious. It's it's a living testimony like you get to see The way the lives have changed like we have various many facilitator who have gone through the process like we have sexual education They have not dropped out to school. They are busy in schools. They are busy giving out Facetation with their life how they have overcome what they are going through like basically uh It's it's a it's a testimony what we go through in the slums We have been able to walk away through all those challenges Having a successful life Yeah, that's it. Okay, mr. Fouda Yes, you've mentioned some challenges such as unemployment and lack of opportunity So what do you do? What opportunities are these you create for them? Do you do help them? Create their own businesses or do you help them get jobs? What exactly happens like if I if I decided maybe I'm a youth somewhere and I'm feeling lost somewhere in Mothering and I wanted to join from what's the initiative because I'm unemployed And I and I'm just there let me put it like that. Maybe I can't afford to go to university So do I come and expect you to teach me how to start my own business or do you get me a job? What exactly happens? uh, actually I I basically do nothing just Because the youth they do everything themselves. So what we do is that we provide that environment because Personally, I've been lucky to travel a little bit around the world and learn a few skills in in terms of how do you work? As a team, how do you collaborate with other people? How do you communicate? How do you solve? Uh Conflicts when they arise. So when you bring those skills Then you challenge the mindset of the youth because the youth normally what they do is that they mostly complain Instead of looking at okay. There's a challenge here. How can I? Shift my mindset and then become the solution at the same time Deal with the challenge And also create a living out of that So yeah, we we don't train them to start a business We we train you to look at what what is bothering you around you and then from that you can find a solution and once you find a solution Then you can communicate with other people bring other people on board fundraise find resources But also there are a lot of resources Also in the community So what can you start with what you have and then from there? Other people will see what you are doing and then come on board and that's what I've been doing because like I told you I came from Madari and right now i'm working with people from somewhere in Bangkok Who are supporting what we are doing today? It was not easy to get to those people but through what we have been doing in a very small way They have seen that this is a good thing that uh, they are doing and we need to support these guys Oh, so i'm hearing uh, there's a lot of life skills that you're teaching people should stop to get out of that That's a block mind block So that now when they are able to interact with others and they'll see the opportunities and be able to make use of them That's a very good summary. Wow. Okay. All right. So i'm hearing you have a conference that's uh, sorry A program that's said to come up between the 24th and the 25th of this month. Can you please let us know a little bit about that? Uh, basically it's called Rooka leadership program 2019 we have done another conference in 2016 This is a partnership between the jump foundation an organization based in Beijing and also in Bangkok And what they do is that they work with young people to To use experiential education to inspire them to give them skills to enhance collaboration What's experiential education? Experiential education is where you put people in situations So that they can learn for themselves, you know, the traditional learning That's the opposite the traditional learning is where you go to class and then the teacher gives you all the information But in experiential education A facilitator comes in the room Give some instructions and let you do the experience and you learn from it So every experience is different. What you do with this group today is not the same with what the outcome of another group And that's why we say it's it's a lot of experience So with jump we did it in 2016 together with them and For the last two three years we have had challenges in fundraising But right now 2019. Luckily jump got funding from one of their supporters They decided we need to do it again. So what we do is that They have a lot of tools. We have a lot of learning materials And for us as parmoja, we have the facilitators. We have the local team. We have the local connections So what we do is that we take The facilitators for two-day training in those trainings their workshops We also visit organizations in madari that are doing amazing work so that these young people can also get inspired They can also learn about their challenges about their success and also about Why why they started the organization and then on the second day we have Some people who come to do training and then as well as something we call open space conference whereby we have Workshops running around and people can easily join a new workshop. Okay. It's also a very new model. How big is this team? No, I'm surprised. How big and how long has it been? The the the team that is running roka Is only five of us But we work with we are working with roka 2016 Participants who we are going to train to be the facilitators So 10 of them have have been recruited. They're going to be Facilitating in the conference. So basically like I told him so we brought them in as participants Now we are going to bring them as facilitators And that's the journey that that's how pamoja and jump work because we want we don't want center to have like a power Revolving like one center We believe that leadership should go. It's like a ripple effect. So it should go and go and go So next week we're training them so that they will be leading the the conferences And then the good thing is that after the two-day conference groups will emerge That will come up with ideas for community impact project And there's a hundred thousand shillings For the group or the groups that will emerge with the best idea And then they will be given the seed funding so that they can start those initiative Anyway in Nairobi because we are working with Marginalized youth from different parts of Nairobi. That's a good way to keep people motivated. Yeah, put some money in the pocket anyway, so um, what um What what what motivates you what keeps you going? What keeps you so passionate about pamoja? Like why like do you feel like you'll ever stop or what keeps you so grounded in this? So To say what's coming going what's motivate me or my drive towards this pamoja thing is that I get a chance to also Tell a certain youth a certain Friend a certain my younger brother my younger sister told so that to tell him that you can make it in life like The process that we went through mother mother is not all about bad things, but also good good stuff can be found inside we have University graduates we have those top celebrities footballers great footballers and like Seeing these testimonies all over Make me like want to tell those people who are using like They are under influence of drugs Maybe school dropouts these guys that think they cannot make it This drive me like I like I need to empower them to make it and be like you here present on a tv So that's that's what keeps me going. All right. That's a very noble move Okay, maybe I just talk a little bit why uh one of the reasons is someone like jesse who is seated next to me because I can't see the transformation He was a junior facilitator Now he's a senior facilitator Now we are serving in the same committee organizing a big conference. So just to see that transition It keeps being motivated because right now i'm working with different youth from all over Nairobi And when you interact with them, I was just about to ask if it's only in madari or it's no the organization is based in madari But right now the conference Works with young people from different parts of Nairobi, but from marginalized areas And every day you meet these young people They have a lot of hope a lot of potential a lot of insights and it inspires me even more to Find resources Go out there network and and make sure that this young potential doesn't disappear and and we regret Because as you know, there are a lot of extra judicial killings A lot of young people are ending up into drugs It's not their fault is because they don't have anything to do And you know the percentages are that are out there connected to jobs The youth are educated they have a lot of Passion to do something good, but they don't know how or they don't know where to go And that's why roka is there for them Wow, so how do you how do you get your initiative out there? How do you get your recruits like now you've said that your for your leadership program you want to work Or you've been working with people from all over all over different counties all over the country How do they get to know of palm of palm orja? Initiative, what do you guys do to make sure that the word spreads especially in a place where people like for example Maybe don't even have the money to have phones to be on social media. How do you make sure the information spreads? It's actually our social media manager. He can't I said Like how do you get to reach these youths from Nanformals community within Nairobi is like very simple The first uh 2016 Ruka conference was a little bit headache We had to go like we had to travel to these Nanformal communities like all over center like Kibera Ghidorai Oh, how safe are you? So it's just you know once you come from a ghetto I see say So uh, we had to travel uh, we had posters Everywhere at youth centers Also at uh, Nairobi one stop. So like each and every youth had this information like all over social media. We shared with Leaders within the communities now come 2019. It was like easy because we have uh, Ruka participants They were like our ambassadors So they were they shared the posters all over and also still went to these community-based centers or in these Nanformals Centers in different areas and then what we did was Create a google form where people could apply online so it was an online thing and Right now we have 200 applicants that have come In public life of these leadership conference. Yeah. Oh, congratulations All right, let's talk about uh, maybe what's next when it comes to palm watch initiative Like what can we expect from you guys? Maybe the next five years two years What can we expect? What difference can we expect before I ask you about any significant people that we know who you can see? Yes, they have benefited from this initiative and they've come out strong So before we answer that what can we expect from you guys the next five years, maybe? Um, uh, we we hope to have a bigger Ruka experience right now. We are looking at about 60 to 100 participants Depending on the resources that we have But we hope that every year we'll have at least 100 participants So those are like another 500 in the next five years And uh, this this is all over Nairobi So we want to create a critical mass of young people who can look at the biggest challenges in the community Turn them into opportunities Create themselves jobs as well as provide jobs to other people in the community Once we do that, uh, we'd be very happy, but it's not very easy because Like I said, we come from Madari. We don't have a lot of resources. What is the government doing about this? When it comes to initiatives, are you supported? What happens? Uh, what I would say is that uh We have tried to get support uh from different uh departments in the government Uh, I still am ongoing discussion We were hoping to get someone from the presidency to come and talk about, uh, the big four agenda Uh, we were not very, uh Lucky, but we're hoping that uh Before the conference Day is here. Hopefully we'll get someone. Yeah, Yambane. We we hope that will show up So, um We are hoping uh, that will be supported and another thing other than the government Uh, like I said, we're hoping to get a hundred participants right now What we can afford is about 50 to 60 participants Uh, we are hoping that local Companies and individuals can come in and support us and support it doesn't necessarily mean Financially you can provide t-shirts. You can provide beverages. You can provide halls You can provide transportation for participants because they're coming from all over Nairobi We have to pay for their transport. We have to pay to pay for their food We have to pay for their t-shirts stationary. You can provide printing. So there's a lot that Because this youth will help this country And people like the jam foundation are not even Kenyan. They are based in in china. Yes, they're investing in our own future In Thailand and then they're investing in us. So it should be uh an inspiration For local people to come on board and support this kind of initiative So we are looking forward to anyone who would be interested Uh to come on board. Uh, we have an amazing coordinator. Her name is sylvia. She'll be waiting She'll be waiting Okay, so the door is open. The invitation is open. Yes So jackson, can you please give us your social media handles because it's about time we conclude this interview So yes, please can you let them know where they can find you how much they wanted to join or apply If you want to join or apply or know about pamoja initiative We are We are on all social media platform like at pamoja facebook at pamoja twitter at pamoja Uh instagram And also our website is pamoja p with a moja dot or g Yeah, that's our Website. All right karibunis and everybody for all of you who are underserved. Yes. Yes, please please check out pamoja initiative However, I would like to I would like to as we as we go I'd like to really really enable you guys to answer this particular question on who can we say is a person of Of significance who has come out of your hands any anybody any testimony or even just a statistic How many people have you empowered when we put it like that? Uh as pamoja initiative I would say more than More than a thousand. Wow Because like jesse has said It's a it's a we have we have we have young people That we train and then they go and teach in schools in in primary schools So in one year we reach about like 200 kids Different and formal schools in madare But also as ruka the people who went for ruka 2016 Some of them went and started their own organizations and now those organizations are also reaching young people So for us, uh, we say that The most important thing is the experience not really the the numbers Because once you gives a young person A skill They will use that skill for the rest of their lives Wow So that's why you're more built on the life skills and whatever it will sustain them even to go for it It goes and goes and goes. So it's a ripple effect Wow For coming to studio today and congratulations for those whose lives you have changed Yes, yes, yes. Yes. So it's about time. We conclude this interview. Thank you so much for coming through They've enabled us to see the opportunity in the challenges around you So make sure you do subscribe to power bonja. Make sure you do attend the initiatives. They'll be following up. So yes Thank you so much. My name is hilda vaditi. It's about in my pain the way for barymosis Then you can come in with the next big interview. Peace


Although our skeleton has predominantly been considered a storage site for sequestering absorbed lead, bone is not simply an inert storage site. Once deposited in bone, lead can be remobilized from bone back into the bloodstream if we lose bone, for example osteoporosis. Even just normal menopause can do it rising lead levels as our bones start to lose their integrity. But the mobilization of long-term storage of lead from maternal skeleton during pregnancy and lactation, that's the biggest concern. To maintain maternal lead levels as low as possible during this critical period, we need to minimize bone loss. How do we do that? Well, habitual excessive salt intake could be a factor in promoting bone loss, so is there a relationship between maternal sodium intake and blood lead levels during pregnancy? We didn't know until this study. They did find that higher salt intake was associated with higher lead levels, but only for women who were getting less than 840 milligrams of calcium a day. This suggests that adequate calcium with low sodium intake may play a beneficial role in decreasing the blood lead concentration in pregnant women. Higher calcium intake has been associated with lower blood lead concentrations during pregnancy, but you don't know if it's caused an effect unless you put it to the test. What if you gave women calcium supplements? We explored previously how milk may actually make things worse. What about just straight calcium, especially for women with low calcium intake? These poor African women getting only 350 milligrams of calcium a day, just 35% of the 1,000 milligram RDA. Let's step in and give them a whopping 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day. That will protect their bones. How did they ever get along without us? Without the calcium, just getting 350 milligrams of calcium a day in their diet, they lost some bone in their spine and hip, but the group we gave in our wisdom, 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day, too, lost even more bone. Those women who had received the calcium supplements had a significantly lower bone mineral density at the hip and greater bone loss in the spine and wrists. Oops! What happened? It looks like we messed up their body's natural adaptation.  Turn off those adaptations, leave their body thinking they were always going to get these massive doses, and then when the study stopped, they went into major calcium deficit and had to steal more from their bones. The researchers went back later, hoping they'd catch back up, and while the women, lucky enough to have ended up in the placebo group, bounced back, those given the extra calcium continued to suffer the effects. What about in Western women, though, already taking in over 1,000 milligrams a day? Would giving them an extra 1,200 milligrams a day cut down on some of that bone flux? Yes, it did seem to cut down on bone absorption by about 16%, and thus may constitute a practical intervention to prevent the trends in skeletal loss associated with child bearing, which could release any lead trap there, but you don't know until you put it to the test. This is a different paper from the same study. The researchers measured what was happening to their lead levels, and that drop in bone borrowing led to a drop in lead release, and so may help lower exposure to the fetus, as well as the infant, as the benefits continue through breastfeeding. Okay, these were women living in Mexico City who may have been exposed to lead-glazed ceramics with lead levels approaching 10. What about for women with lead levels closer to the current U.S. average, under 5? We didn't know until you put it to the test. Well, half the breastfeeding women were randomized to take 500 milligrams of extra calcium a day. Their lead levels started out the same during pregnancy, but shot up during breastfeeding, as presumably some of the lead was released from their bones. But that was in the regular non-supplemented group, in the group that got the 500 a day calcium supplement. There was no spike in lead in their bloodstream. Providing evidence that calcium supplementation during breastfeeding may be effective in limiting mobilization of lead from bone stores, thus reducing the risk of lead transfer to the nursing infants through breast milk. Now, breast is still best regardless, supplementation or not. The risks are outweighed by the benefits of breastfeeding, but calcium supplementation may help reduce any risk even further. Of course, better to not build up lead in your bones in the first place, as a famous occupational medicine paper put it a half century ago. Yes, there's all methods of dietary interventions. There's only one way, and one way only, to prevent lead poisoning, not get poisoned in the first place. Anything else just diverts attention from treating the underlying cause. For other toxic heavy metals like mercury, for example, that would mean advising women to avoid the consumption of fish that eat other fish during pregnancy. And when breastfeeding to decrease mercury levels in breast milk, in fact, maybe even before pregnancy, women of childbearing age period, so you don't build up mercury in your body in the first place. For lead, that means not living next to a smelter plant, avoiding smoking. Now, there's one other way to detox your body of lead to protect some of your future children, but it's not ideal. Remember that menopause study where postmenopausal women had higher blood lead levels than premenopausal women?  The postmenopausal increase in lead levels was less in women with prior pregnancies, presumably because they'd already detoxed some of their lead into their children.


Belonged citizens, citizens of Zambia, Bill 10 is poison, Bill 10 is Black Mamba poison, it's lethal, it's deadly. No matter how much sugar you pour in a cup or with poison, the cup will remain poisonous. And this is the case with Bill 10. Everything the peer claim to be good about Bill 10, any clause that the peer claims is good about Bill 10, it is nullified by the despicable clauses that will roll back years of democratic progress in our country. And we should not allow that to happen. Indeed we should because it would be a great mistake. We ask all world-meaning members of parliament, a piece, I mean all members of parliament, to reject Bill 10 and to reject it outright. The debates have been going on for too long around Bill 10. People of Zambia have spoken against Bill 10, churches, civil society, upright political parties and others very loudly and clearly that Bill 10 is not acceptable in our country. I draw particular attention to UPND members of parliament, reject Bill 10. As a party you know the position of UPND that is against Bill 10. We have discussed as a team in UPND. Time and again and we've concluded that Bill 10 will harm this country, will harm human rights, will harm democracy, will harm the rule of law. Very clear, reject Bill 10 or UPND members of parliament. NDC member of parliament, role member of parliament, reject Bill 10. Independent members of parliament, my dear colleagues, reject Bill 10. Indeed, PR members of parliament, world-meaning PR members of parliament, you too are no different from your colleagues. We expect no less than we expect from your other colleagues. Reject Bill 10 because you know in your heart that this is wrong. Members of parliament ought to be on the right side of history and to be on the right side of history you have to be on the side of the people, the people of Zambia. People are hating. We must draw our attention away from Bill 10 by bringing closure now to this dreadful Bill 10. This much talked about Bill 10 because we have limited resources in any situation. A family, a business, a country has limited resources. We must focus our resources, focus our attention on making sure that families can have food on their table every single day.  That's where our attention and resources must be. Those that are in college, those that are in university must remain in school because we have accorded them the bachelors that they need, the bc's that they need. That's where our attention must be. Our attention must be drawn to the needs of those that are retired to pay their retirement benefits on time. Pensioners to be looked after. The weak, the sick, the old in society must be looked after. Businesses are dying. That's where our attention must be. Not on Bill 10. Let's bring closure to this Bill 10 now and not any other time. This is the last time we should be talking about Bill 10 because we have more important things to do as we can't. I ask you, if you are responsible citizens and you believe you represent me, act correctly. Let's close this debate. I thank you.


to bring it back to ayahuasca Like even Roy did ayahuasca at the place I go. I was good. He did that half. It's a two-day ceremony Roy did one.   Yeah, or some kind of family function.  Yeah, I think Yeah, but it was just more visualizations of them Just multiple visualizations of people and things and people you love and people you miss and stuff like that and then having the realization in the moment that Oh I just I want love. I Want my son to know love.     Well, what were my examples of love and now we're right back to the day he was born Well, what was my father's example? How did my father show me love and then I think back and I think back to all of the moments that he had With the other woman and not my mom I'm a oh fuck He was in love For as much as as much as he wouldn't have stayed with her if he wasn't in love like what you know about him Divorcing my mom whatever, you know, that could be its own That's a separate thing but My father loved that woman who he's buried next to When I go back and like when I'm like if we're just talking just thinking about Okay, my job as a father is to prepare my son for the world period full stop That is my only purpose on earth right now is to prepare him for life without me Love is one of those things he will have to figure out how to navigate so I need to show him love All right, what examples of love have I seen so far?  All right, but then we'll save that My dad.  Yeah, and it's complicated. Of course.  Yes, they're they're hurdles to having wrinkle-free happiness. He had challenges Yes, so that realization But then you have to first love yourself And so then that's where the journey of okay, well, what do I want? What makes me happy? What do I want to do?  So you gotta start with you first.   Oh, I I Just want my mom to not have to work so hard.   There was a weird relief from her Right, you know, she acknowledged it. Yeah, she's a oh, well, I'm glad she finally get like I could tell she was smiling Yeah, even you know mom's worry so To always be able to put her in a position where she doesn't have to worry about me like that's a gift and like It's like, oh everything was just about letting my mom know I'm okay. Is that why it works?  Yeah, I'm straight on night, too, bro Yeah, I don't need to ever do it again. Like I don't know how like the people who do the ayahuasca Oh every weekend, I've done it 20 times. You might be in a different space. Yeah for me. I'm good, bro I got what I needed. I will return to drinking old-fashioned with extra orange. Well, but I would only send you for Being willing because you're not Mentally Unwell like you're like pretty From the outside in Even like I think I know you pretty well.  Like even like even a being I could tell you never held a baby Yeah, you bring them up here. It's like a log.  I've held 10 babies In my I'll have you know, it's just a cool. It's like a cool thing that Like culturally it's not it's like kind of you know, like it's getting cooler but you Yeah, I give you this I salute you for Trying but but the bigger one is tuning into yourself more than like doing activities therapy. I Ask whatever it's being actually tuning into yourself and actually like What do I want? Yeah, it's a hard thing that it's the most obvious question in the world and it's like the one that People ask it as an afterthought Yeah Yeah, once I get this sugar out my system this month.   Yeah, so Yeah, hey, did you like that? Did you like that? Yeah, did you like it though?


Item number, SCP-354, Object Class, Keter. Special Containment Procedures Due to SCP-354's immobile nature, Area 354 has been built around it. Area 354 houses forces and D-class personnel, prepared to deal with threats emerging from SCP-354, as well as researchers studying SCP-354 and its properties. For their own safety, no on-site personnel are to approach SCP-354 at any time. Direct interaction with SCP-354 is permitted only for the purpose of research to eliminate SCP-354, and must be approved by O5 personnel. Area 354 was constructed to contain and neutralize any and all further threats emerging from SCP-354. At the heart of Area 354, a 20-foot wall of concrete reinforced with data expunged has been constructed around SCP-354 to prevent emerging entities from escaping into the area at large. High-speed motion detection cameras are placed atop the wall looking down into the pool, and armed guards can easily shoot down inside the enclosure from catwalks placed above the pool. Description SCP-354 is a pool of red liquid, discovered in Northern Canada. The liquid is of a consistency similar to that of human blood, hence the colloquial name Blood Pond, but is not of a biological nature. The pool does not have definite banks. Soil mixes with the liquid until, at a certain point, there is more soil than liquid and the ground is mostly solid. The liquid becomes denser as one descends deeper into the pool. If the pool has a bottom, it is yet to be reached. Periodically, entities emerge from the pool, an attempt to escape from the enclosure. Thus far, nearly all creatures emerging from SCP-354 have been extremely hostile and highly dangerous. SCP-354 is believed to have been first discovered in by survivors of a plane crash who encountered SCP-354 by chance. SCP-354 had developed into a local urban legend, long before Foundation personnel arrived to deal with the threat. After locating the source of the legend, SCP personnel set up Watch Station Epsilon-38 to monitor the pool and to deter future travelers from finding it. SCP-354 was classified as Euclid until its properties were further discovered. At 1403 hours on date undisclosed, an unidentified entity emerged from SCP-354. Contact with Watch Station Epsilon-38 was lost. Mobile Task Force was dispatched to deal with the entity and were eventually successful. All personnel at Watch Station Epsilon-38 were found dead. Area 354 was subsequently constructed to contain SCP-354. SCP-354-1A, partial log of entities to have emerged from SCP-354 prior to Event 354-20.  It resembled an echidna, was virtually bulletproof, but was unable to escape the enclosure surrounding the pool, neutralized via napalm. SCP-354-3, black metallic sphere capable of levitation, emitted concentrated levels of radiation and precisely directed beams, sufficiently to instantly cripple and later result in death. One area ahead, Dr. Boehr struck SCP-354-3 with a sludge hammer, disabling it. SCP-354-3 then self-detonated, causing minor structural damage and severely wounding Dr. Boehr. Said Dr. Boehr made a full recovery and has been commended for his bravery. SCP-354-4, humanoid reptilian creature, approximately 4.6 meters or 15 feet tall, escaped both the walled enclosure and area 354 altogether. Gunfire caused very little physical harm and was highly ineffective. Mobile Task Force Omega-7, Pandora's box, was dispatched and was successful in neutralizing the creature. SCP-354-5, data expunged.  As the enclosure around the pool had not yet been fully repaired, SCP-354-6 was immediately shot before it had a chance to escape. Area head Dr. Boehr has expressed his displeasure in the rash execution of SCP-354-6, which testing revealed to be identical to an average human being. Data corrupt SCP-354-14, majority of creature's body remained well beneath the surface of the pool. Five octopus-like tentacles were seen emerging from the pool and reached up over the enclosure. Several D-Class personnel were grabbed by the tentacles and pulled back beneath the surface of the pool. After receiving massive damage from gunfire, SCP-354-14 retreated back into the pool and disappeared. No personnel taken by the creature were recovered. SCP-354-15, feline creature, composed of a blue-hued crystalline structure, later revealed to be ice, was able to jump above the walled enclosure and was agile enough to dodge most gunfire, was actively hostile and mauled any personnel that engaged it. SCP-354-16 engaged upon its emergence from the pool and was terminated in the fight. SCP-354-16, feline creature, composed of a dark red-black stone, later revealed to be partially solidified magma. Gunfire proved mostly ineffective against its hide, was not hostile to personnel and did not attempt to escape the walled enclosure, until being engaged by SCP-354-15, successfully terminated SCP-354-15 and grew less active as its body cooled. After fully solidifying and having remained motionless since, subject was moved to Dr. Warrant's office for aesthetic purposes. SCP-354-18, metallic humanoid machine, described by several D-class personnel as a terminator. Subject possessed a cloaking device rendering it invisible to human eyes. Subject was highly adept at combat and killed nearly 90% of Area 354's guard personnel as it rampaged through the facility. Approximately 60 minutes after emerging from the pool, subjects ceased function and powered down. Subject was dismantled and its power cell was disposed of. Subject's remains are under study. Note from area head, Dr. Warrant. That's thrice now that we've had to fall back on Pandora's box to deal with stuff coming out of SCP-354. Abel can't complain though, you can tell he enjoyed fighting SCP-354-11. Maybe we should set up some kind of hotline to MTF Omega-7. Subject 354-3A, log of exploratory mission 354-Alpha, personal log of Dr. Warrant. Our expedition to explore SCP-354, that gaping wound in the middle of Canada, has finally been accepted. The R&D boys have come up with what can only be described as a submarine with a drill on it. We know that the pool gets denser as you go down, so we suspect that at some point we won't be sinking, so much as digging, hence the huge mining device built onto it. It's not hydrodynamic at all, but we're not really going swimming here. My gut tells me that there's something on the other side of the red pool, and just like digging down, up to China, all we have to do is dig down, up to it. Personal log of Dr. Warrant. Had a nice long debate with 05 over who's allowed to come. I wanted MTF Omega-7 to come with us for protection, or at least SCP-076, but they won't allow it. Despite the massive damages he continues to cause, they still see him as too valuable to risk losing.  Maybe they just didn't have the guts to ask him to go exploring. Ackler, that a**, wanted us to take SCP-076 with us, but I wouldn't allow it. The file says SCP-076 was just born before he came through, so he'd be useless as a guide. He might be of some use as security, but that's mostly cancelled out by the fact that he's data-expunged. He'd probably just expunged, anyway. The final crew compliment apart from myself consists of three agents, two D-class personnel, one geologist, and some guy from R&D who's going to pilot the ship. I already forgot all their names. Exploratory Team 354 Alpha, ET-354A, Mission Log, Day 1, Rotten Sword of Day to begin a mission. Rumor has it that last night there was a total containment breach in some area or other. Then it turns out that there's no coffee allowed anywhere inside of Area 354 for some reason or another. And the whole mission almost ended in disaster when it turns out that they almost forgot to load the extra fuel on board. Who the f**k is running the show around here? Anyway, we're now under way. For a while there I had a definite feeling of going downward, but now we're dropping much more slowly. Marty, that's the R&D guy's name, says we're sinking at a rate of 10 meters an hour. Apparently at this depth, the red pool is pretty damn dense. Mission Log, Day 2, nothing of interest happened, but I learned everyone's names. We have Marty, our pilot, Agent Swanson, Agent Turquoise, Agent 86, Dr. J. MacArthur, Chris Simmons, and Leroy Tucker, whoop-de-freakin-doo. Mission Log, Day 3, at about 4.30 am gravity suddenly changed direction. Boy, that was a fun way to wake up. We're now rising rather than sinking, which means we're more than halfway there. Mission Log, Day 4, we've reached the surface. Through the portholes it's mostly dark, which means it's night. We can't go out yet because for all we know, the atmosphere could be hydrochloric acid. We've got a s**t load of sensors outside of the ship analyzing a bunch of stuff. Whether the air is breathable, what kind of airborne bacteria we have to deal with, and simple stuff, like temperature, we'll know in 8 hours whether it's safe for human life out there. Mission Log, Day 5, turns out the air is totally safe, except it's been night for… going on 28 hours now. What's going on? Mission Log, Day 6, dawn finally came. The sun was huge and red. I'm a biologist, but I know enough about astronomy to know that we're orbiting a totally different star. Is this a different time, a different place, or a different dimension? Leroy guessed that we're in another plane of existence, and I think he's probably closest. The pool on this side is way bigger, more like a large pond or maybe a small lake. The banks are more defined than on our side as well. We took an inflatable raft to the shore, Marty and Simmons stayed behind and headed north. The ground here, or at least around the pool, is almost totally devoid of plant life. The only green we saw was a sort of fuzzy moss growing on the ground that looked more like a kind of mold. The ground is grayish tan dirt that's like a mixture of sand and flour. MacArthur said it was some mineral or another, but I forgot what he called it. I half expected all of our electronics not to work out here, but that wasn't the first thing to fail. After about two hours of hiking across flat boring ground, the compass suddenly changed direction. Now, it points to what we had previously thought to be east. Evidently, this planet's magnetics, is it even a planet? Don't work the same way ours do. Not wanting to risk getting lost, we immediately made a 180 and headed back to the ship. I could have sworn that the trip was less than half as long as the trip out. Tomorrow we'll work out a way of navigation that doesn't rely on the compass being sane. In log, day seven, lousy night's sleep, the sun never went down. By my calculations, the day-night cycle here seems to last about 43 and a half hours, as opposed to 24 hours back home. That's going to take some getting used to. We agreed on a system of navigation. Firstly, we're going to travel only in a straight line to make sure that we can get back to the ship by simply turning around and heading in the other direction. Unless we encounter some kind of unnavigable jungle, we should be fine. Secondly, Marty's rigged a radio beacon thing. I don't really remember his explanation, but if we're anywhere within 800 miles, his little gizmo will be able to tell us exactly which direction to go to get back, and how far. Mission log, day nine. We set out a few hours before the sun was scheduled to rise, but when we got to the shore, we found that the green moss stuff was everywhere. It had grown in mass significantly. My guess is the stuff shrivels up in the sun during the day and expands at night to suck in nutrients or something. We decided we didn't want to walk through it, so we went back and waited for sunrise. Sun came up and we set out again. The moss stuff was back to its smaller state. It just occurred to me that there's been no wind at all in this place. The result is dead silence. I'm not ashamed to admit that the overall emptiness of this place is pretty scary. We found an area with none of the moss stuff for a few hundred feet around and decided to camp for the night. The sun is still up, but it's time for us humans to sleep, so I'm calling it night. Mission log, day ten. Sometime in the night, which was really daytime. F**k, this is going to get confusing. We were all awoken by some kind of roar. You remember what the T-Rex sounded like in that old movie Jurassic Park? It sounded a lot like that, big and reptilian. It was so loud that I was certain whatever was making it couldn't be more than twenty feet away. But when we all got out of our tents, we didn't see anything. The whole area is so flat that we see any sort of animal within half a mile or so, but there was nothing. F**king scary. We packed up camp and continued on. After a while, we stopped seeing the moss stuff. Maybe it only grows around the red pool, and the ground became rockier. In the distance, the land seems to grow more hilly. I think I see trees. Mission log, day eleven. The bare ground has ended. Now we're walking across a vast field of beautiful green grass. It almost looks like a well-mown lawn. The grass seemed ordinary enough until turquoise tripped over a rock and arose to find his hands covered with several dozen bloody pinpricks. Apparently, the tip of a blade of this grass is incredibly sharp and easily punctures skin. It's no threat to our foundation-issued boots, but we must all be careful not to fall on it. We came to a tiny stream, really no more than a trickle. Swanson suggested we could refill our canteens, but Lee Roy and MacArthur wanted to check the water for something or other first. MacArthur took out some equipment and, after a few minutes, announced that it was not water, but liquid carbon dioxide. CO2 is usually a gas at this temperature, and it's never a liquid. The laws of physics don't seem to be working right. Mission log, day fourteen. I haven't had time to record anything for a few days. We made it to an area sparsely populated by trees. The grass there was withered and brown. They're not sharp enough to pierce the skin anymore. The trees were ordinary, looked like birch, but the leaves were wrong. At some point we lost Swanson. This place is so quiet that none of us really feel comfortable talking, so we have no idea when we lost him. There's a good eight-hour window where he could have gone missing. We called to him, but none of us wanted to split up to look for him. During the night, a tree fell on 86's tent. He wasn't hurt, and none of the gear was damaged, although the tent got mangled beyond repair. 86 swears that the tree hadn't been that close when he pitched the thing, and none of us can tell what caused it to fall. The trunk just snapped. We all agreed not to pitch our tents anywhere near a tree from now on. The next day, which was really night time, we heard the same roar from a few days ago. It sounded exactly the same as before, and again, we have no idea what made the sound. And none of us can even agree which direction it came from. Then it started to rain. We all pitched our tents for the night, this time a whole lot closer together than we had before. The nearest tree is about 300 feet away. MacArthur confirmed that it was actual rain and not more CO2 b**t, and we set up this funnel thing to refill our canteens. Leroy donated his tent to Agent 86, and I offered to share mine since it's a little bigger than the other guys. I asked Leroy what he did to wind up as a D-class. He said he raped a couple people. I think he might have been trying to freak me out, but who knows? Anyway, he's one of the most well-behaved D-classes I've ever met, so I don't think he's going to, say, assault me in my sleep. Mission log, day 17. Good God, the rain has finally stopped. Everything is soaking wet, including us, except for the ground. With that much water, you'd expect it to be muddy as all hell, but the ground beneath the grass is barely damp at all. Perhaps the plants absorb moisture from the ground more efficiently than the ones back home. We're setting out again. Perhaps the rain awakened some animal life. Data corrupt. Mission log, day 25. What seemed to be a huge cliff in the distance turned out to be an artificially constructed wall. It's made of solid, rusty iron that stands maybe 50 feet high. To the left and to the right, it goes on farther than the eye can see. I can't imagine how thick it is. We have no way around it. We'll have to go over it or through it. We made camp for the night. We'll work out what to do in the morning. Mission log, day 26. Leroy jury-rigged some kind of blowtorch thing with our equipment. I swear, this guy is f***ing MacGyver.  It turns out it's only about a quarter of an inch thick, but there's another wall behind it with less than a foot between. Apparently this thing has multiple layers. Leroy cut through eight of them before we finally made it to the other side. The grass on this side is black. Not burnt or anything, it's just a different color. And finally there's some wind. I was getting tired of... data corrupt. Concluded that coming here was a mistake. We have to turn back. Mission log, day 39. We passed through the second barrier and we're back to the weird place with the black grass. I half expected the whole Leroy cut through it to have sealed up or something, but it was still there. Thank God, or whoever runs the show in this world. I don't think MacArthur is going to make it through the night. He lost a lot of blood. Mission log, day 40. We awoke to find that MacArthur had crossed. We didn't want to do it, but we had no choice but to terminate him. 86 said that something back home might be able to help him, and he may have been right, but we couldn't afford to have him slow us down. We only have a few more days until... data corrupt. Mission log, day 48. We made it back to the ship with only an hour or two to spare. The first thing they asked us was what the f*** happened to Swanson Turquoise MacArthur in 86, as if a few dead team members are our biggest problems right now. Marty has us under way, and we're definitely sinking. I just hope they don't. Data corrupt. End of log. This document was discovered in the Central Foundation database. No such mission to explore SCP-354 has yet been suggested or approved. No records of any personnel mentioned in this log exist. The log's origin is unknown. Note from area head Dr. W... It has been 22 months since the last entity emerged from the pool. Before this, the longest period of time between emergencies was 8 months. I suspect this means one of two things. Either the red pool has died or powered down, or whatever the correct term for it is, or it is charging up for something big to come through. O5 believes the former is the most likely explanation, and has recalled 30% of our total personnel and cut 25% of our funding. Wallach can only hope that they are correct. If the latter situation is true, we're soon to face some terrible monstrosity, and we won't have anywhere near the force necessary to deal with it. I worry for all of our safety. Document 3544. Event log 35420. In the morning of data expunged, the entire staff of area 354 evacuated the facility. However, the staff also shut down power to the area, and took a number of supplies and vehicles from the facility, indicating that the evacuation had not been done due to an emergency. Mobile Task Force Theta-12 was dispatched to investigate the cause of the evacuation, and, if possible, make contact with area's staff. However, before MTF Theta-12 could make contact with area 354 or its evacuees, the area's onsite warhead was detonated, resulting in the destruction of the entire facility, and the deaths of data expunged. MTF Theta-12 was ordered to make contact with the evacuated personnel, and, in the event of hostility, was given clearance to terminate any uncooperative personnel. A large convoy of vehicles taken from area 354 was spotted heading southward from area 354 at high speed. Final audio logs from NTF Theta-12 indicate that the convoy was made up of area 354's staff, and that the previous chain of command had broken down in its entirety, with armed D-class personnel and research personnel firing upon MTF Theta-12. MTF Theta-12 was annihilated, and no further contact with the former personnel of area 354 has been made since. Document 3545 Following the total destruction of area 354, the Red Pool Containment Site was constructed in its place. Basic maps of the new facility can be found in... Unlike the previous facility, which was focused on research and neutralization of entities emerging from SCP-354, the new facility is devoted entirely to the containment of SCP-354, and entities which may emerge from it, as well as any unforeseen forces which it may create directly. This is due largely to the advisement of the new site head, Data Expunged, who believes that the events of log 354-20 were the results of a psychic or mental attack generated by SCP-354 itself. Document 3546 An interview between Dr. W. and Agent W. regarding Data Expunged. Dr., is it alright if I record this? Agent, yes, go ahead. Dr., good, good, so let's start at the beginning. What happened at the Red Pool Containment Site? Agent, looking back now, it seems strange that nobody ever suggested draining the pool. When Dr. W. came up with it, it seemed like such a good idea at the time. Dr., exactly what about the idea was so appealing? Agent, it was a way out. That SCP entry, I've read what it says. It's a joke. It makes it seem like we have the pool under control. Dr., I take it you do not. Agent, there's a half-meter slab of reinforced concrete in place over the pool, and yet every time some beast tries to come through somehow, it manages to get loose into the building. People die, every single time. I've seen Data Expunged, a man's own intestines. Can you imagine what that looks like, old man? Dr., so to you, and of course to the other people stationed at the Red Pool Containment Site as well, draining the pool seemed like a fine solution to the suffering caused by SCP-354. Agent, chair scrapes as Agent W. stands up. Suffering. That thing doesn't just... Dr., please sit down. This is going on record. Pause. Agent W. sits. So, 05 approved the draining of SCP-354, and then what happened? Agent, they evacuated the non-essential personnel to a location a couple kilometers away, leaving just basic defense crew and the people who'd run the equipment, mostly D-Class, plus a few agents to keep things going. Dr., and you were among those agents. Agent, yes. Dr., how did they go about draining the pool?  We retracted the slab, but... Dr., but... Agent, have you ever had a dream where it seemed so real, but you knew you were dreaming, and it felt like you had to wake up to escape from it? Dr., I can't say I have. Agent, yes you have. We all have. That's what it felt like when they put the hose in to try to drain it. Everything stopped being real. It was like we had to escape right now. Dr., and you were the only one feeling this sensation. Agent, no. Everyone had it at the same time. It came from the f***ing pool! Dr., please lower your voice. What happened when they activated the pump? Agent, we never did. We couldn't. It wouldn't let us. Dr., what wouldn't let you? Agent, the pool! Dr., please, I ask you to lower your voice. Agent, up until now it's been content just throwing monsters at us. It's been playing, but now we have it locked up, and we just tried to execute it. Now it's angry. Dr., to PA, guards, please restrain Agent. Agent, my buddy measured its banks once and compared them to the photos from its first discovery. You know what he found? Agent grabs Dr., Dr., guards! Agent, it's growing. The pool is growing. It gets bigger and stronger every day, and now we've made it angry. Get your hands off! Dr., sedate him. We'll continue this in the morning, if he's lucid by then anyway. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-353, Vector, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


All right welcome back away from business and economic matters. We will be focusing on something that is affecting almost every Nigerian as we speak. That's insecurity. All right, the river state governor, Nesam Wiki, has imposed a dusk to Don Cuffy on every part of the state. The reason for that is the spate of attacks and security installations in the state. Police stations, police officers and soldiers have been the target of violent and fatal attacks in the river state and part of the southeast in recent weeks. Governor Wiki says the curfew is until further notice. That was the governor of the river state. Nesam Wiki bringing in the rest in top of the speed that concerning the state of security in that particular state. And of course what they need to do and what is to be expected. A dusk to Don Cuffy. Yes, Justin. This security situation in Nigeria, you know, when people think, you know, assumed that this was just in the north. In recent time we've seen in states in the south, states in the southeast, there's been a heightened, you know, spree of insecurity. Let's, you know, give us a chronological view. We've seen jail breaks, first of all, attacks on police stations, attacks on correctional centers. You know, Nigeria was thrown into chaos, you know, recalling a few weeks back when we saw those attacks on those police stations. You know, we didn't know who was responsible. Nobody took responsibility. But we saw how security agencies were quick to point to, you know, figures and groups in the southeast like IPOP, you know, indigenous people of Biafra, Eastern Security Network saying they were responsible for those, you know, press releases back and forth. Those groups denying that, you know, we saw lots of that. We had, you know, on the breakfast representatives of Orhanese Indigo talking about the insecurity in the south, south and southeast part of Nigeria. And then weeks later, we're seeing what's happening in River State.  The news broke just three days ago about two or three customs officers killed. You know, there's just been a lot. It is really, really alarming. And what worries me right now is that those in charge of security are seemingly reactive instead of being proactive. Because this should have been a wake-up call. When we had the first jailbreak sometime last month in Nemo State where security formations were being attacked, you know, they should have opted games. They should have maybe installed CCTV or any other things they need to install to make sure that they can actually monitor this situation. Not that after each attack they will now come and start doing investigation. They should be able to do their own intelligence and, you know, find out what possibility there could be in another state. And of course, I know that the southeastern governors have met twice and now they are fronting a group called, you know, Abubago, which is the glory of the tiger. My issue is that when issues of security, you know, arise in Nigeria, the police authorities, the security agencies are more reactionary instead of being very proactive. Indeed, Justin. What we talk about proactive security, this is something we need to take very seriously. Take, for example, you know, since we're talking security and the general security in Nigeria, you have the Kankara kidnappings and the president says this would be the last. You have the Kagara, he says this would be the last. You have the Jangebe, he says this would be the last. The Greenfield University kidnapping, this would be the last. And we keep having series of insecurity and you ask yourself, what are the proactive security measures that we should be having? And we definitely cannot have this conversation without talking about regional security, state security, state police in, you know, other states have seen, you know, the Amoteco. Yes, in the South West.  There's a conversation about carrying arms, you know, firearms and all of that.  And what we've heard about the Ibubeagu, there's quite an opposition to it. But, you know, South East Governors have all come together and endorsed this. You know, we just can't wait to see where this will lead because it seems that, you know, when you listen to analysts speak, they say people and states need to make security localized. People have to be involved in their own security. Exactly. You're talking about community policing. You can't wait for the federal government all the time to secure you. If you're the governor of the state, you're responsible for the security of, you know, the lives and property in your state. So state governors should be able to, I mean, look at what Mr. J.D. Johnson spoke about earlier when we did Off the Price. He spoke about how it's important for governors to collaborate among themselves and find a solution. To forge a common front. Exactly. Instead of running to the federal government, running to Aceroc every other time. You know, so proactive security, regional security, these are very important issues. I don't think that when these conversations come up, the federal government should dismiss it and say, these are states trying to break away. This is just a pretext to, you know, secede out of Nigeria. We should look at it from the perspective that when security is localized, everybody feels that they have a brutal place. There's a stake to it. Exactly. But another thing that is also worrisome is the issue of politicization of all of these security challenges that we have in Nigeria. You talked about what happened in the southeastern part of the country. You know, the former IG was quick to blame the IPOP and the ESN. And the ESN and the IPOP, you know, they have come out to say that they are not responsible. And the governor of EMO state, you know, Opu Zodimma was also in the news. And he said that this particular killings across the state is, is politically motivated. Yes. I did watch him speak, you know, one of the news channels, that period when it happened, especially when his house was attacked by hoodlums, arsonists set fire to his house. In the video I saw on social media, such a sad situation.     And not just an attack on EMO state, but also on the federal government. So really...  And what is that to gain from... I really would never understand that logic. From orchestrating killings. I would never understand that myself, Justin. But these are, these are key issues. And I think one thing that's very important to note regarding this is, what the current governor of River State, Yosemite Wike, is doing about this. You know, when you talk about Benway State, we've seen the sad and unfortunate incidents, the deaths, the destruction in Benway State at the moment. I mean, we saw a picture just on the front page of the Ponsheny's paper, a deal to lifeless bodies on the ground and people just standing. You know, and you've been saying, Benway State governor, Samuel Autumn, in recent times, speaking up against this. He's been condemning the president. You know, and, you know, like we saw on the newspapers this morning, President Mohammed of Buhari responding to this through his media aid, you know, saying that Autumn is antagonizing him and that he was sad about the whole incident. You know, so I feel that, you know, people should begin to do what Yosemite Wike is doing. Rather than just speak out in condemnation, let's see you act. Yosemite Wike has done something here. He has declared a curfew. You know, on his state. So, within certain times, you should not be seen out and about in the state. So, if other state governors begin to take actions like this, you know, declare a curfew, declare a state of emergency, let's see proactive security, let's see state policing. I believe that, you know, to make Nigeria a lot more safer. It should. It should. Because, you know, even in Ponsheny, a dusk to don't curfew, there are, you know, implications to that.  All right, I'll be talking more on the state of security in Nigeria in a moment when we come back from this quick break to join us again. In view of what's going on, therefore, and its implications to the security of the state and citizens, and in this challenge of a constitutional responsibility in that regard, the government of the state has decided to restrict night movements into and out of the state from the land borders of the state. Consequently, a night curfew is ever imposed, and no person or vehicle is allowed into and out of the state from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. from tomorrow, 28 April, 20 to 21 on the foreign notice. You're welcome back to the Breakfast and Plus TV Africa. It was still on the conversation of security in the South-South, generally in Nigeria, but specifically in River State. And to continue our conversation, we've invited Mr. Dagatola. He's a spokesman for the Movement for Socialist Alternative. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. Well, good morning all. And it's a very topical topic for all of us, the best state of our country, and the critical growing in security, not just in the East, clearly in all parts of the country. We thought Boko Haram was a phenomenon restricted to part of the northern part of the country, but we are seeing synapses of the same phenomenon growing in all other regions of the country, and this is becoming alarming for all of us. And Nigerians have now been informed that a coffee has been imposed specifically in River State. Dagatola. How do we begin to react to this as an immediate measure to halt the state of insecurity that is becoming alarming in Nigeria? All right, Mr. Tola, if you can hear us. But the truth is that it doesn't address... We've got your introduction. Thank you so much, Mr. Tola. But right now, this issue of security did not just start in River State. It has been alarming, and it has been across the southeastern region, the South Governor's meeting to call for regional security. But was it surprising that right now it is moving towards River State? How come the security apparatus in that particular area are not being proactive enough? Yeah, the entire rank and file of the police and the military are completely demoralized. The mass unemployment in the country is one factor we can't also ignore. And the fact that government demonstrates to all Nigerians that they have imposed a coffee on themselves to not respond to the situation that is happening in this country. And this is why even this coffee that has been imposed in River State currently does not fundamentally address, does not go to the very root of what is responsible for the growing insecurity in Nigeria. We want to say that Nigerians will more than be happy to see government take a proper step. But as you begin to confront and harm the group, when Nigerians, some sections of Nigerians are harming themselves to take up positions which ultimately will not resolve the fundamental crisis that is plaguing us as a nation. Well, we don't support acts of terror. Why we don't support that particular measure? We are not mindful of the fact that government itself, which is policies and programs are responsible for this dead state of insecurity in all of the country. All right, Mr. Tola, can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Yes, I understand your concerns, but it seems the U.K. is the only governor right now to have taken such a measure. Others, like we've seen autumn, they've been criticizing the governor speaking in public. But yes, the U.K. here has taken a stand to declare a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning. You don't think he deserves some kudos for that? Or what else or what more should the state begin to do? Government is waking up to this responsibility. I don't think what we should be doing is applauding them, but stating all of the failures that have occurred that they should have reacted to up to this point. And we must also understand the state of the state of Nigerian military. There are those who have raised the question of restructuring. While we are not fundamentally opposed to restructuring the Nigerian state, we think more than ever before that Nigerians must be allowed to discuss the fact of this country. Do we want to continue to be Nigerians? Do we want a united country? On what basis would Nigerians continue to exist as the country for all of us? What would be the responsibility of government to its citizens? What would be the role of the police and the military in Nigerian federations? Working people in Nigeria want to be part of the process of deciding all of these key crucial issues. And this federal government, the wild regime, cannot continue to wish away the fact that Nigerians want to discuss the continued existence of Nigeria. And I must tell you that Nigerians want to continue to be Nigerians. Unfortunately, those who have decided to hold power and deny the mass of working people the opportunity to have themselves come to power and build a better country for all Nigerians, or mindful of where they are born, where they live, and where they come from are responsible for these current situations where some sections of the Nigerian people are beginning to think that if this country is broken away, that life will be better for each and every one of us. We want to go on record to say that Nigeria can work, but the only Nigerian that can work ultimately from this crisis that is confronting us is a Nigerian that will govern by the working people themselves. A country where the resources of this country will be used to ensure that education is accessible to all. It is scandalous that when you look at the figure of unemployment in Nigeria today, it's indeed alarming. At no time in this field of this country have you had such good millions of young people with practically nothing to do, no future, no expectations. The economy has been granted to a zero state. A situation where the resources of this country cannot be used to provide electricity, and Jakuta has been closed down, refineries are not working. All the key functional sectors of the economy that will provide jobs for young people to do are not functioning. So, Mr Tola, Mr Tola, would you trace, would you say, Mr Tola, if you can hear me, you've mentioned some of the key challenges faced on a country, and I want to relate all this back to the security challenges, especially in rivers. So, Mr Tola, if you can hear me, would you say these are some of the reasons why Godmen in recent times in river states have been going on rampage? I mean, we see a press release here from the government outlining all the security challenges in rivers. They say 24th of April, Saturday, customs officers, police, members of the Civil Defence Corps, they were ambushed at their posts, they were killed. The next day, Sunday, April 25th, we saw another deadly attack in river states. You know, men of the Nigerian Army right in their police posts in Abua town, in the Abua or Dua local government area were also killed. So, there's been lots of attacks on security officers. So, would you say those are the origins, and why specifically security agencies? Why these attacks specifically, you know, targeted at security officers in river states? I think we should all join together. Journalists, activists, all of us join together, and Nigerians in our majority join together to condemn these attacks. We do not support terrorism. We don't think this will ultimately resolve any of the issues. Rank and 5 policemen and soldiers and Nigerians, they are suffering the same situations all of us are suffering. So, no sections of individuals should now think that when they learn their guns on police stations and ordinary rank and 5 policemen, that the contradictions that confront all of us will be resolved in any way. So, we come all out to condemn this and say that those who are behind this attack are only hurting such to the existing injury. That what we must all do is to all come together collectively and organize. We must be organized. Tomorrow we will work as they may be. What is the response of the NLC, the TUC to this current situation in the country? This is an organization that has the ability to mobilize all Nigerians collectively or mindful of a different divide, putting on the appropriate program that will resolve the question of insecurity in Nigeria. We want to commend the governor but we are not unmindful of the rules. Alright, Mr Attola, a point noted we need to... I've come men in a place like River State, politicians themselves, we understand that citizens, CSOs, organizations, trade units need to come out and condemn this particular act. But right now, a curfew has been imposed on River State and thus to don curfew. That cannot be sustained for a very long time because indeed it will affect the economy of that particular state. Aside from curfew, what next is the main question? What should be done? What should be done to ensure that security formations are no longer being attacked, that residents and indeed residents across the south and should be able to go to their beds and sleep well after a long day's work. What do we need to do after curfew? The only way out to serve this issue of security in River State? I'm extremely very happy that you have posed this question. I think the first thing was made quite clear to all of us is that in Nigerian states, it's military. The police have relied upon to provide appropriate security for Nigerians everywhere. So we must begin to popularize the fact that it is a democratic right for Nigerians to be able to bear harms and protect themselves and protect their community. I've used the word democratically so that we do not have ethnic militias thinking that those people who are not from that place also don't deserve to be protected. That is the first step. The second step, like you have pointed out, is that it can be sustained. Even a coffee itself imposes small damaging effects on an economy that is already dwindling and collapsing and which is why we must return back to challenging government to address the fundamentals of human existence in Nigerian society. And what are those fundamentals? Nigerians want to be able to ensure that their children go to school. Good qualitative school without having to go and steal, without having to be millionaires, without having to be politicians, senators, covenants or whatever. Even as ordinary Nigerians want to be able to assess free qualitative education where Nigerians will be taught will be provided the necessary enlightenment that as human beings, their democratic rights for all categories of human beings can live together. Secondly, there is a need to create jobs. There is a need to create jobs. River state itself, which is the outback, all of the Niger data which is the basis for the survival of Nigeria and the basis of the huge millions of dollars that is earned from oil daily from this country. What has happened to our wealth? How this ruling elite has managed the oil wealth of this country up to this date and that this world would not have been used to establish the necessary industry in Nigeria. The fact that we don't have an Ajakuta sterile email functioning goes a lot. The fact that we do not have 24 hours electricity in Nigeria is a huge problem that makes individuals who are even running the business to be able to work to survive. These are fundamentals and as long as the government is not ready to address these good fundamentals of the survival and building of a functional economy, the crisis will continue. How do we explain that as an all year producing country, Nigeria imports well for usage, resulting into a huge loss of jobs and the huge wealth that of a billion of your power was satisfied to make billions of neurons from those important fuel into the country. Alright, thank you so much Mr Tola for your comment and indeed them all that you have said concerning the state of security or insecurity rather in our river state and indeed across Nigeria. Yes, we thank you very much for your time and thoughts. We do hope the government is listening and will begin to act in due course. Thanks again. Alright, away from security as we will take yet another break and when we will come back on the last lap of the show, we will be looking at sports. We will be right back.


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the calling question. The question says evaluate integral of 3x plus 1 divided by 2x squared minus 2x plus 3 with respect to x. So now begin with the solution. Let i is equal to integral of 3x plus 1 divided by 2x squared minus 2x plus 3 with respect to x. Now let 3x plus 1 is equal to lambda into derivative of 2x squared minus 2x plus 3 plus mu. Now this implies 3x plus 1 is equal to lambda into 4x minus 2 plus mu. Now in comparing coefficients of right powers of x equals to 4 lambda and 1 equals to minus 2 lambda plus mu. This implies lambda is equal to 3 by 4 and 1 equals to minus 2 lambda plus mu plus 1 is equal to minus 2 into 3 by 4 plus mu. This implies mu is equal to 5 by 2 is equal to integral of 3 by 4 into minus 2 plus 5 by 2 divided by 2x squared minus 3 with respect to 3 by 4 into integral of minus 2 divided by 2x plus 3 with respect to x plus 5 by 2 into integral of plus 3 with respect to x. Differentiating both sides of this equation with respect to x we get dt by dx equals to 4x minus 2 dt is equal to 4x minus 2 into dx 3 by 2 with respect to z equal to 3 by 4 integral of 1 by t with respect to

Narcissists hoover you for this reason. Narcissists will often return with these fake apologies and false epiphanies, as though they finally realize what they did wrong, and now they want to make amends, when that actually has nothing to do with the real reason for why they are hoovering you. Because Narcissists typically hoover to take revenge, they are very petty, they focus on things of little importance, and then they blow it out of proportion. They turn molehills into mountains, they cause commotion and uproar out of nothing, they show unnecessary and excessive concern about things that had nothing to do with them, and yet they will personalize it and find a way to make it about themselves, because in their minds they are the centre of the world, so everything revolves around them, everything is about them, and everything has something to do with them. Which is why whenever there is a disturbance or disruption, the Narcissists will always be in the midst of the chaos and destruction, because they have to be at the centre of everything, they have to make everything about them. So if they feel like they have been wronged in some way, they will be plotting to take revenge, even if you are not with them anymore, and they will do this by hoovering you, by sucking you back into the relationship so that you will have further contact and communication with them. But when you are dealing with a Narcissist, it will always run through the same repeated cycles of abuse, which includes love bombing, devaluation and discard, because they are not looking for a relationship or a friendship, all they want is for the cycle to repeat over and over again, so that they can continue to have access to you and use you for everything that you have, but just because they've hoovered you it doesn't mean that they are going to take revenge right away. They may love bomb you while they are working on sabotaging something that you are trying to accomplish or something that you have already achieved, they may try to get you fired from your job, they may try to target you financially to sabotage your attempts to slip away from their control, or they may just want to steal some of your possessions or ruin your new relationship, because it boosts their ego, it makes them feel better about themselves, when they can sabotage your life completely, which is why they are quite joyful when you lose things that are important or valuable to you, and they will plot and scheme to get you to miss out on things that you might otherwise enjoy, and then once they have gotten their hit of narcissistic supply, they will ghost you and move on to another situation while they are having a good laugh at your expense. Narcissists will usually try to love bomb you back into the relationship, and if they are successful in doing so they won't bother trying to sabotage you, because it makes no sense for them to do that if you are already within their grasp, and they have already got all of your attention, so instead they will go straight to the discard, but before they do that, they will mock and ridicule you to make you feel bad about yourself. Narcissists will normally only sabotage you if you are the one who discarded them, if they discarded you, they are not going to care so much about what you do after they are gone, because they discarded you for a reason, they threw you away like a piece of garbage, and when you believe that something is garbage, you are not going to go looking for it, you are not going to care if it is gone, but they will care if they saw you as something of value, and you will know if they valued you, because then they would have held off on discarding you, and instead you would have been the one who discarded them, which will have caused a narcissistic injury, it would have eaten away at them, because narcissists do not like losing control over something that they deemed to be valuable to them, so they will be sicker to punish you and cause you harm for leaving them, and they are not going to be questioning their own behaviours or motives, because in their minds they are always right, and they can't do anything wrong, so if you discarded them they believe that it is your fault, and for them to be right they have to win everything, which means that even if they do hoover you back, they are just going to twist it around on you and discard you, because it feeds their sense of superiority, it boosts their ego, because they are not just doing it to get average Joe or your run of the mill type of person, they are doing it to you, so they are going to be left feeling like they hold a lot of power and control, and it's really going to go to their head, because if they can get win over on you, they are going to feel like they can do anything, so it's just a potent source of fuel for them when they can get that from you, and it removes the effect of the narcissistic injury you caused when you discarded them, it even things out, because it boosted their ego and it's made them feel important, so now they've got a good hit of narcissistic supply, when the narcissist is hoovering you, they're going to do whatever they think is going to get you to react, so they're not always going to come back with fake apologies and false epiphanies, because that might not work with you, so they will try a different approach, but whatever they do, they will intend to affect you, to touch your feelings and move you emotionally, to exert their influence on you, whether it's to upset, trouble, overwhelmed, damage or hurt you, and they want it to have a lasting effect, they want to leave an imprint on you, they want to own you as their possession, because they recognize your value, so they want to feel closely connected, they want to be joined at the hip, where it's like you're inseparable and indivisible, sometimes narcissists will use real or fabricated stories of a crisis, as though they're going through a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger, and now an important decision must be made, because they need your help, or they will come back trying to make you jealous, or to spark your curiosity in success, progress or accomplishment, they will bait you in with vague messages, to get you to ask more questions, so that they can brag and boast about whatever they're doing now, even though it's ready as great as they make it seem, but sometimes they will act as though they called or messaged you by accident, as though they meant to contact someone else, and that's actually when they just can't think of anything to say, or they can't think of a reason for why they're reaching out, or maybe they just don't want you to know that they're desiring to communicate with you again, because as we know they're so full of ego and pride, so they may not want you to know that they need something from you, and instead they will play it off as though they're just taking an interest in you, or is that they're trying to be there for you, or they contacted you by accident, they will always have some excuse, because they don't want you to know that they need you, even while they're using you and they're exploiting you, so sometimes they may just do things to trouble or offend, they may post pictures of you online just to make you angry or upset, because at least then they can get a response, while without a response they're left to their own devices, they've got to look after themselves without any help, they're left to make their own decisions about what they want to do, which is a troubling experience for a narcissist to endure on their own, which is why they have to pull you into it, so that they can share their misery and misfortune with you, and they will often do that by doing things to get your attention, because they assume that you're not going to reach out to them, but whatever route they take isn't really significant, it all comes back to one thing, which is that they're trying to take revenge, they're trying to inflict pain on you for an injury or wrong that they believe to have suffered at your hands, because they want you to feel how they feel, they want to project their feelings of misery and despair onto you, because you walked away, you didn't want anything to do with them, so they felt abandoned, they felt unwanted, or maybe you did something they didn't like, you outsmarted them, or maybe you didn't do anything at all, but they feel hurt, they feel like they were wronged by you, as we know narcissists see their feelings as facts, so if they feel wronged or hurt by you, then in their minds that means you must have done something to cause them to feel that way, so now they have to hurt you, which is why you only have to be what they narcissists for a certain amount of time, before something angers or upsets them, because they have such a weak fragile ego, so it's like trying to maneuver yourself through a minefield, and you may have had no intention or desire to inflict harm or suffering on them, you may not have had malicious intentions, so it's often all just down to their assumptions, to what they suppose, imagine, expect or believe, which means that it may never had had anything to do with you at all, it's just down to the fact that they couldn't take it, they were too fragile and weak to tolerate and endure critical treatment, or to deal with an unpleasant situation, because they felt offended, they felt resentful and annoyed as a result of a perceived insult, which was a blow to their fragile sense of pride and self-esteem, because it contradicted their false image and false identity, when you may never have intended to insult them, but they identified it as an offense, so they then worked to develop some form of interpretation, and they determined the intensity of the feeling of the offense based on their belief, while assuming that you hold the same beliefs, while in most situations it's likely that you did not hold those same beliefs, because their beliefs are distorted, if you're finding this video helpful so far please hit that thumbs up button down below, thank you, they personalize everything, they make everything about themselves, when in fact they're just extremely insecure, and it's because they have a false self, so it doesn't take much to challenge their self-concept, to the point where they will then desire to go all out on a campaign of vengeance and destruction, and although it may seem like they don't accept you, it's actually because they don't accept themselves, which is why it doesn't take much to harm their image and their relationships, they won't support or stay with you through thick and thin, because it doesn't take much to offend them, and when a person is offended it arouses self-conscious emotions, it causes them to feel undue awareness of themselves, their appearance and their actions, which is just too much for them to bear, because they don't want to have knowledge of that one existence, which is why they buried it deep beneath their false self, it's why they wear a mask, and it's why they're so resentful that they hold grudges for life, because of their own self-conscious emotions of shame, guilt and pride, rather than it having anything to do with what you're meant to have done to them, because in most situations it's not even that you actually said or did anything directly to them, and instead they chose to take it as an offence, when it may not have had anything to do with them, and in fact studies have shown that feeling offended is a complex emotional state involving personal factors such as gender and self-esteem, and outside the realm of narcissism studies have examined and proven that men have a higher threshold for what constitutes offensive behavior, the reality is that narcissists are easily offended, because they have low self-esteem, which is why they tend to feel more shame than other people, and it is the shame that then compels them to seek vengeance, while many of us may have felt offended by another person's words or actions at some point in our lives, and yet we did not feel the need to take revenge, because unlike narcissists we have a strong sense of self and an innocent of value, a self-identity that is not determined by external factors, which means that we can regulate our emotions from within, without having to inflict harm on another person in order to feel better about ourselves.

There are three main states of matter. First of all, what is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. So two requirements for being matter. The three main states are solid, liquid and gas. Now when something is a solid, the shape of the matter does not depend on the container. It is fixed. Also, the volume is fixed. I could put this little cube of solid matter in a bigger container. It would have exactly the same shape and the same volume. If we would be able to zoom in a lot, we would see that the individual molecules of something that is solid are moving slightly. But overall, they're stuck together. There's a lot of interaction between them, keeping them kind of in a grid. When something is a liquid, then the shape is not fixed anymore. A liquid will always take the shape of the container it is in. Like the water, for example, will take the shape of the glass at the bottom once it is liquid. The volume, however, is fixed. If I put 5 milliliters of water in a huge container, it will still be just 5 milliliters of water. If you look at a molecular level, now the movements of the molecule is going to be much bigger and the interactions are much smaller than in a solid. However, there are still some interactions between the molecules, giving them not so much freedom, as in the last step, which is gas, where basically there's no more interaction between the molecules. There is a huge space in between them and they're flying around quite freely and will occupy whatever volume is given to them. So if something is a gas, then the shape is not fixed. It will take whatever space you give it. And also the volume is not fixed. When matter changes from one state to another, it undergoes a state change. Many of the names for those changes you already know. For example, if a solid becomes liquid, you call this melting. If then the liquid becomes a gas, that's either boiling or evaporation. The other way around, if a gas becomes liquid, for example in your shower, if you take a shower in the winter and then suddenly there's like a cover of water on your mirror, that's called condensation. And if the liquid becomes solid, this is freezing or solidification. It becomes solid. But did you know that a gas can directly become solid without passing through the liquid state? For example, at the entrance of a freezer, if there's some humid air that comes in contact with a very cold surface, the water in the air can directly form a solid, which you can see as this little white ice around the top of the freezer. This process is called a position. If you take me around, you can go directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase. If I put a cube of ice in the freezer and I wait a very, very long time, the cube of ice will be gone. This way around, we call it sublimation. Now what's interesting is that all the changes that go in that direction, so from solid to liquid to gas or from solid directly to gas, they will require energy. If you want to melt the solid down, you need to add energy. You need to put it on a hot surface. If you want to go from liquid to gas, same thing. If you're boiling water, you need to add energy to make the liquid water into vapor. Now the other way around, it will actually release energy. So if some gas is condensating, it will actually warm up the surface on which it is condensating. If a liquid is freezing, the moment it is freezing, it releases a little bit of energy. If I will be able to measure the temperature of ice that becomes liquid water and then gas, and that will be starting from ice, I would start from a very cold temperature, below zero, otherwise it wouldn't be ice. And the more energy I add, remember I need to add energy, the warmer it gets. The moment I hit the melting point, something interesting is going to happen. Some of the molecules are going to stay changed and they're going to become liquid. This needs a lot of energy, so instead of warming up the ice more, my entire block of ice will actually stay at around zero degrees Celsius until all the water is melted. Once all the water is melted, all the water is going to get warmer as long as I keep adding energy, until some of the water starts evaporating. At this point, the energy that goes that I add is used to evaporate the water and my temperature of the entire water stays the same. If you boil in water, the temperature of the boiling water will never exceed the boiling point until all the water is completely evaporated and then the energy writing is going to be used to increase the temperature of the gas or the vapor in the case of water. If you will do the other way around, if you start with some vapor and you cool it down by removing energy, you cool it down, first of all, the vapor gets colder and colder and colder until some of it becomes liquid and only once all of the vapor is liquid, then the liquid will start getting colder and colder until you hit the freezing point and only once the entire amount of liquid is frozen then will the ice get colder and go below zero. This, for example, makes that the lake in the winter will not necessarily completely freeze because the water in the lake will stay around zero until the entire lake is frozen. Any more energy that's removed with the cold air that's on top will first be used to form more ice and by forming more ice there's a tiny amount of energy released which keeps the water below the ice above the freezing point until literally everything is frozen.
