use the hashtag what's trending with og okwe comment on our live feed and of course leke leke tell me which of these stories matter to you most and what should nigeria be paying attention to because for the next hour we're going into everythingthat has Nigeria and the rest of the world buzzing.But first, let's take you around the world from Trump honoring fallen heroes to the Pope's apology for slavery.Here is a recap of some of the stories that are trending across the globe.The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria is sounding the alarm, staging a three -day national fasting and prayer program against the country's spiraling insecurity.Speaking in Ibadan, PFN National President Bishop Francis Wale Oke declared the nation's security situation has reached intolerable levels.

The fellowship lamented that communities in Oyo, Quara, Taraba, Pletu, Benue and Borno have become killing fields and is now demanding urgent international intervention.to 2027 is hitting up.As Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amechi participated in the ADC presidential primaries on Monday, voting was held across over 8 ,000 words.Using the option A method, Atiku cast his vote in Yola, Adamawa State, while Amechi voted in Ubima, River State.The ADC is positioning itself to challenge the ruling APC's dominance in 2027.A major drug bust at Lagos airport has landed a 63 -year -old Chinese national in custody.

NDLEA operatives intercepted Ting Keong upon her arrival from Thailand with 31 kilograms of Canadian larda high -grade strain of cannabis, sashed in her luggage.The agency also recently seized over 2 million tablets of high -grade opioids worth over 2 billion naira nationwide.In a historic shift, Pope Leo XIV has issued the clearest papal apology yet from the Catholic Church's role in slavery.In his debut encyclical, Magnificia Humanitas, the Pope acknowledged the Vatican's shameful history and officially asked for pardon, marking a massive departure from past statements that shift blame away from the papacy itself.In the United States, President Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a solemn tribute at Arlington National Cemetery, honoring the generations of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for liberty.

Standing before Gold Star families and military leadership, the President hailed fallen soldiers as the guardian angels of the Republic.As taps echoed across the grounds, Trump pledged that the torch of American liberty will never be allowed to fall.from honoring fallen heroes to defending American interests.The U .S.military on Monday announced that it conducted new self -defense strikes in southern Iran, targeting missile sites and boats, attempting to place mines.

The announcement came in a statement from Captain Tim Hawkins, spokesman for Central Command.Iran has yet to respond to this latest attack, and it comes as the Iranian foreign ministry had earlier on Monday said progresswas being made in talks to end the war.deal was not yet imminent.Correct.I mean, good morning, Dr. Abate.

Good morning, Vimbaya, our favorite Nigerian.Good morning.Rufi on fire.Yes, that was the Trump dance we had yesterday.It was the YMCA.But, you know, the U .

S.has launched a strike now and, you know, shaking the world at this point.Well, all right.We have taken you around the world.Now let's bring it home with politics.APC National Chairman Professor Nenwate Yilwata is making a bold claim, speaking during an interview right here on Arise News.

Yolwata declared that the ruling APC currently has 12 .9 million registered members submitted to INEC, a figure he says surpasses the combined membership of every other registered political party in Nigeria.Let's take a look.

We have about 12 .9 million registered voters.Right.That were submitted to INEC.Let me give you data.Let me bring data for you.AP submitted 12 .9 million registered voters.

PDP submitted 2 .4 million registered voters.The ADC submitted 1 .6 million registered voters.Labour Party submitted 1 .3 million registered voters.ND submitted 700 ,000 registered members.So these are the data.If you put all these political parties together, they don't add up to APC's registered members.

all the political parties that this number have counted, they're not up to the number that APCR just have.

I mean, Rufai, bold words from the chairman's claims.And, you know, they are drawing scrutiny, given the irregular vote counting videos that have surfaced during the party's primaries.Now, his critics also point to his background as former INEC resident electoral commissioner, raising questions about theindependence of Nigeria's electoral process ahead of 2027.Rufai, your take on the story.

And we should ask, when did he join the APC and when was he working in INEC?That's another question we should also ask.C, like I said before, all these numbers, OG, yes.Some people can come and debug and say, oh, it was just mischievous video that we're sharing and all of that.C. those numbers are not forensically evaluated.It's not by submitting 12 or something million.

If I run it through a forensic evaluation test, will it be able to pass scrutiny of correct mean and all the identification thresholds?If you want, I'd like to try it.I'd like to try it.That's what we are saying.So plus even the NDC saying they got over 10 million plus this and everything.And What do you expect, you know, for an APT chairman to say?

He will say that everything was good.He will say everything was right.He will say that over close to 90 % of people came out to vote in the party primaries.Did all of them present their party cards for the voting?Didn't we see most of them on the voting board?Did they present their party cards for the voting?

Maybe except one or two cases, you know, like you said, that they presented their party card.Can they show us?Anyway, they just counted.Can they show us a system that verified the county?Who was the peer review to verify?It's not here we're seeing 1, 2, 1 ,500.

The same MPC that said he has a lot of scrutiny, is it not the same system that we saw that a 15 -year -old boy almost, he was just, we saw a picture of him with the Senate president, we saw a picture with all the big people.

Almost everyone.

Almost gamed the system.I'd like to apologize this morning to Senator Ikwenife Daleddi, what is it called?Something that was asking him that, ah, how many siblings do you have?And I was being harsh on that woman, not knowing that that woman was correct.Oji, if not for peoplegazettes that saved us, that did investigative journalism job, that actually brought out that the guy is 15, he fooled all of us, including me.

Where is their scrutiny level as regards that?And see, for those that are pushing the narrative, Orgy, that because President Inubo got 11 million in this party, he already has every, they should stop that narrative, because it pretext to rig, you know?Nah, they will not say, hey, he already has 11 million votes.In this shambolic process, that is not peer -reviewed and peer -verified.With all this irregular, they will say Azaria has 11 million votes.They should not try to.

We are warning them now because we've started seeing them pushing the narrative.

Not try more.Well, speaking about irregular vote count, there's been a response to the regular vote counting video we saw during the APC House of Representatives primary for Bende Federal constituency in Abia State, where Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu emerged unopposed in a now trending video.John Okese, who was the returning officer for Bende Ward during the primary, described the irregular vote counting footage as adulterated and deliberately spread by enemies of the APC to discredit The process.Let's take a look.

I have seen several versions of adulterated videos spread by enemies of APC, the deputy speaker and my humble self.The question I ask is, to what benefit is it to edit video and make it look like numbers we are joined?when the other candidate against the president had no single person behind him.The public should disregard such manipulated videos circulating around as it is not a true reflection of my account.Those publishing it should stop to avoidlegal action because I have briefed my lawyers over this misrepresentation.

Abia is APC.Bende is APC.We don't need to jump counting to make that point.The picture of those behind the picture of the president says that clearly.And the agent of the opponent to Mr. President, who was in attendance, never complained.The public should disregard this usual campaign against APC and the leadership of APC.

All right, look at that.

The opposition never complained.Now, this officer is saying the primary was conducted transparently, but we saw the viral video.It is now left to the Court of Public Opinion to decide whether this verbal denial alone is sufficient.Dr. Bhatti, Benjamin, Kalu emerged unopposed across all 13 wards, with delegates unanimously endorsing his candidacy.Now, only time will tell whether this process was transparent.Your thoughts?

OK, my main argument articulated elsewhere is that when we were told, oh, this is the Electoral Act 2026, and that, you know, the objective is to address some omissions, some observations from previous elections.The whole idea was that, oh, we'll have a better process in the next elections, 2027, by elections before 2027.But what we have seen is that even the Electoral Act 2026 itself is problematic.And that immediately after that 2027 election, even now, people are already saying there is need for more reform, because whatever electoral reform we have done has not yielded any result.And we've seen the proof, more or less, in the primary processes.What is it that was done before that we have not seen?

Vote counting?Disagreement over mode of election?Verification of candidacy and membership problematic.So a whole new set of problems.So perhaps the problem is not even the law.A good law, any kind of law, does not guarantee that an election will be transparent or there will be accountability or that it will be credible.

So vote counting.I think what we should be asking for is that when it gets to the level of INEC, you can put whatever number you like within your party.At the end of the day, so is the internal affairs of the party.After all, one party said it would rather announce final results in Abuja and not at the polling booth.But what we expect from INEC is to make sure to draw lessons from what the parties themselves are doing.The same parties that say they have internal democracy.

We have not seen the evidence of that internal democracy.We have not seen clear evidence of accountability.And it's not just one party, even if we say it is APC.Even in the ADC process that is going on, they still don't seem to know how to count one, two, three.Yes.Which is also a comment on the quality of education or the character Let's stay with character, because arithmetic is easy.

1, 2, 3.If you are not blind, you should be able to count 1 to 50 or 2, whatever.But they can't even do that.So it's also about the character of the Nigerian politician.But INEC cannot afford to make that kind of mistake during the election.INEC must firm up its processes.

It must strengthen its institutions.It must make sure that its numerous ad hoc staff are properly trained.So as toensure the integrity of the electoral process.

primary school in Yobe state on Monday and officially seen counting voters as they line up at polling unit.He counts three, four, five before suddenly jumping to 20 even by, can you imagine?Let's take a look.

He's even skipping.

I mean, this video has generated reactions online with some Nigerians stating that The precedent set by APC is gradually becoming a norm in other parties.Here's what's also worth noting.Not one person standing in line called out the official.Not one.Which raises questions.Are voters intimidated?

Are they complicit?Or have Nigerians just accepted it?that this is how elections work?Odoce has called into question Nigeria Democratic Congress candidate Peter Obi's chances of winning in 2027, instead stating that his chances of being president are in 2031 after President Tinubu Odoce made these comments while speaking on a new episode of Honest Bunch podcast released on Monday.Let's take a look.

It's not in NDC, it's in Africa.He also swore before Ojukwu, Ojukwu, the great Ojukwu, that held his hand and told Igbupi Anambra people that this is his candidate.Everybody swore before him that he would never leave.That's why since he left, since he left, he hasn't achieved anything politically.

All right.This is the voice of some people.I mean, everyone has their opinion on whether or not who will become president or not.But at the end of the day, it's the Nigerian people that will decide.And then, like, I asked the question, are these voters complicit?What is going on?

Why are we not seeing people screaming, Oga, you did not count well?

Count me, O. Your thoughts?Oh, you have skipped me. I want to quote Mr. Adebayo Adewale, who was here earlier, who said, it seems that option A4 has been turned into option A fraud, because option A4 was one of those landmark sort of, should I say, reforms when it came to the June 12 election that many lauded and said gave credibility andcredence to that election.It was something that was celebrated because it allowed people to come out and express themselves.And it was a departure from ballot stuffing and, you know, all the other antics we used to see happening in elections.But we're now seeing how this open ballot system can also be weaponized.

There are some analysts who had said that this election will be the most monetized election in the history of Nigerian elections.And, you know, without sort of supporting evidence, it seems that drawing from inference, you can see that there is a degree of transaction happening here.You can see that given the nature of the politics, and also given the nature of our economy at the moment, that if there's a transaction available for me to stand in a line with the membership card and be counted so that I can go home with whatever the going rate is, then it's highly possible.Because why else would you not want the process to be credible?Why else would you not be there defending the process?So in that instance, I think that this open ballot system has also added to some of the numbers that we are seeing.

the inflated numbers because we know that some people in their communities are also scared.You have to come out and be counted because you don't know if there will be consequences for not being counted.There's rice being shared or there are things being shared.So, you want to make sure your face is there.You don't want to cause rancor so that whatever goodies are awaiting you afterwards don't pass your house.You want to make sure your house is a beneficiary.

So, this is the downside of this open ballot system.Now, very quickly on to Pizza OB and you know there was a swearing and an oath that was made.overarching vision for what he feels is best for Nigeria.We're all entitled to run our commentary on the side, and we'll see a lot of commentary coming out.We're going to see many different...I'll use Dr. Abati's saying, some of it roadside and some of it deeply intellectual and revealing.

Yeah, the roadside welcome is welcome as well.It's up to the viewers to decide what goes.

Nigeria decides.Now let's talk about insecurity.in Kebe State, residents in Tangaram village in the Danko Wasagu local government area of the state are reeling from a terrifying midnight attack where terrorists abducted 13 people early on Sunday morning.According to eyewitnesses, the attackers arrived around 1 a .m.on motorcycles, firing sporadically into the air, breaking into people's homes before kidnapping over a dozen victims and moving them towards the Zamfara border.

The state police on Monday confirmed the abduction, with the command spokesman stating that every individual abducted was an adult male.It appears to be some sort of indoctrination as we speak.We are also learning that police tactical teams in collaboration with vigilante groups and other security agencies have intensified coordinated rescue operation along border communities linking Kebi and Zamfara states.All 13 victims remain in captivity.I mean, this is terrifying to think, you know, that innocent people that were sleeping in their homes.Terrorists barged in to kidnap them.

Now, these communities have suffered repeated attacks due to their proximity to forest corridors linking Kebi, Zamfara and Niger states.Residents say recurring attacks in the Danko, Usagu communities have led to several abductions in recent months, with some victims reportedly released after policeof ransom, running into millions of Naira.I mean, this is like, you know, a coordinated attempt to get these people for, I believe, is definitely, you know, a business and indoctrination.Go ahead.

And in this same country, because the government has failed to provide security, people speaking for President Sinubu, Chief Oshoba, say that he's the enemies of President Sinubu.that because they remove so much subsidy that they are the ones causing all of this insecurity.Orgy, just imagine how can a government feel so much and they start to abdicate responsibilities and they think people should look at them in better state.That video you brought forward about the Vice President Khashem Chetimah, that he was weeping during that time.Orgy, the question is why is he not weeping today?Has his security not tripled?

Orgy, Children's Day.Children used to sing this song by Michael Jackson, heal the world, make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.There are people that if you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me.Children's Day, Nigerian kids and their teacher that was just recently beheaded, will be spending in kidnappers' captivity in Oyo.Nothing has been done.Oji is going to two weeks now.

Oji, the family of that man that was beheaded recently was writing a letter to say at least give us the body to be able to bury.We don't even know if they have collected the bodies back.They did a funeral.They did the funeral?No!The funeral you are talking about, Vimba.

You know when the people first came to attack, they shot sporadically, they killed the 49 -year -old teacher.

Okay, that's the one they buried.

That's the one they buried on Friday.No, you're talking about the man that was beheaded.No, so they had killed people even before they took people into captivity.

Okay, correct, yes.

All right.Tomorrow is Children's Day.Can we allow children to leave captivity?Can the government at leastbring our children back home from captivity for them to celebrate Children's Day?They are children.

They should not be in the bush or forest.They are not there in excursion.They are there held against their will.Happy Children's Day.

That was heartbreaking.Meanwhile, in Kwara State, the police have confirmed the violent killing of three worshippers and the kidnapping of 15 others after a deadly attack during a Saturday prayer service in the AKT local government area of the state.The incident occurred on Saturday night at Oryoke Ajaye located on the outskirts of Ikiran Village, where armed men stormed a prayer ground.Around 8 .30 p .m., the pastor of the church, Pastor Adebayo Abiodun, reported that while conducting a night vigil with members of his congregation, armed hoodlums invaded the prayer ground, firing, sporadically killing three persons and abducting 15 others to an unknown destination.

while the Commissioner of Police in Kwara described the attack as barbaric, callous and unacceptable, assuring the families of the diseased, the injured and the abducted victims that the command is fully committed to ensuring the rescue of all victims and apprehension of perpetrators behind this incident.heinous crime and you know this is the terrifying pattern that i am talking about dr abati and this is only coming because we believe last november the terrorists attacked christ apostolic church in the same local government area killing three and abducting 38 people before they were rescued.Now, I believe you remember this story, Dr. Abati.Now, the Akiti local government chairman has ordered the indefinite suspension of night vigils in worship centers located in rural communities, religious organizations,isolated locations have been directed to relocate services to community centers within towns and villages.Now, Nigerians can't even pray in peace anymore.

Before I come to you, Dr. Abati, in a more positive update, the Ondo State Police Command and hunters have successfully rescued 12 people who were abducted in the Akoko East local government area of the state.while traveling in commercial buses early Saturday morning.The two Hummer buses were en route from Benue State to Ibadan when they were intercepted by armed kidnappers around 1 .30 a .m.at Iswa Akoko.Police say the attackers forced passengers out before marching them into a nearby forest.

Security officials then combed through the forest using intelligence -led surveillance and rescued the 12 people alive.They've been taken to the hospital with arrangements being made to reunite them with their families.And I'd like for you to tie in both stories.We're seeing this pattern more often now.I mean, you know, people are saying it's becoming worse by the day, Dr. Abati, even given all the intelligence that we have.It's also good to see that the communities are collaborating with the police to help rescue our Nigerians that have been held in captivity.

Well, I mean, these stories speak for themselves, Claire.Insecurity remains a major problem.Despite protestations to the contrary, that the government is putting its best efforts in, and despite the claims by the security agencies, whether it's the police or the military, that they are also trying their best.Obviously, that best is not good enough for as long as people cannot travel from one part of the country to the other without being attacked or abducted, to the extent that now it's become an offense.you know, to even pray in the evenings.And the irony, the choir prayer ground that you refer to is called Urioki Ajayi.

It means, you know, a prayer mountain where, you know, you gain survival.You know, victory, victory mountain, something like that.And yet they went there to pray.and the kidnappers, terrorists, attackers, cynically converted the title of that prayer mountain to its opposite and took them away.You know, that should not be the case anywhere in the country.Look at the number of states you have mentioned in the last few days, from Boronu, to Oyo, to Kwara, to Kebi.

So apparently nowhere in the world is safe and you know it's most unfortunate but again it's another wake -up call for the state authorities to ensure that the obligation to see to the safety and welfare of the people is one that is met, not through press statements.I don't know whether Mr. Ononuga has issued a statement on this.I haven't seen it.They're not true statements, not true rhetoric.They're through actual, you know, safety, you know, guaranteed for the people.

Well said.Well, still on insecurity, Vimbai.Now to a disturbing new video.which has gone viral.A Borno state indigent and internally displaced person, Enoch Yohana, has raised alarm about what he calls the business of terrorism in Nigeria.Yohana, who is a community liaison officer for the NGO Africa Arise, made the shocking allegation during a public event about rehabilitated insurgents.

He claimed that after terrorists complete government rehabilitation programs, stategovernments, including Borno and Zamfara, provide them with monthly salaries ranging from 50 ,000 naira to 70 ,000 naira, plus one -off payments up to 3 million naira.Ioana, whose father was killed by insurgents, named a man called Adamu, who he says slaughtered 96 people in one day.And today, he drives a Helux vehicle, courtesy of the Nigerian government.Let's take a look.

It has been so painful that the killer of my dad is being paid with taxpayers' money.The abductors of our wife, our children, our sisters, are being paid off by the taxpayers' money.They drive luxury car with escort.There is one man that slaughtered 96 people a day.Now he's driving with helox.His name is Adam Orugu.

I'm saying this, I don't care.I don't care.I'm ready to die.

All right.The Nigerian government has not publicly responded to these allegations.But Johanna is asking the question many Nigerians are asking.Why are victims left to suffer while perpetrators get salaries?Why are families still displaced while terrorists drive Helux vehicles?Is this reintegration?

or is this incensivizing terrorism?And that's the right question, Vimbai.We've seen, we've highlighted these insecurity stories across the states, even only yesterday, I believe Daily Trust is also reporting that, you know, bandits attacked the Emiya's palace.I mean, if you see that they are, you know, Encouraging, because this is what I call encouragement, encouraging terrorists.Why wouldn't they act?

Your thoughts?advance, such as those who are used for logistics and so forth.But this young man's testimony is totally, totally at loggerheads with that narrative.And I think this is where it becomes important for us to continue to hear the voices of those who've been directly impacted and affected by terrorism so that we can sort of try to reconcile the difference in narratives.We've always argued that, you know, is there really the capacity to be able to successfully rehabilitate these repentant terrorists, as they are called, given just the sheer reality of the Nigerian economy and, you know, the suffering, the poverty, the lack of jobs and so forth that exists, because they say they train them, they prepare them for life afterwards and so forth.But I remember, Rufai, you were the one who had asked that, well, do we follow them?

Do we have a mechanism to track them and see how they do afterwards?And that doesn't exist yet.So until that exists, it's difficult for us to really, you know, sort of have full credibility in that Operation Safe Corridor.And until then, I think it should just be put on hold, to be honest with you.So let's go for the prosecution.

And pepper soup.For what, really?All right.Thank you for your contribution on that.Now, we're going to continue on this conversation.But first, what do you think?

Join the conversation.Use the hashtag, what's trending with OG Oakley.We're reading your comments.We'll go on a short break now.When we come back, what's trending will continue.Stay with us.

Welcome back to What's Trending.We've been reading your comments during the break, and you have a lot to say about our stories.We'll get into that in a bit.But, you know, we've been highlighting insecurity stories.I'd like to take the story of Pastor Adeferesan.If we can have that, please.

You know, religious leaders also have been speaking about the state of the nation.They've been speaking about insecurity.And I'd like to just take this comment from Pastor Adeferesan, who is now waning on Nigeria's deepening crisis.The senior pastor of House of the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adeferesen, sparked a heated debate online after he described Nigeria as dead, bluntly stating that anyone who counts their wealth asNaira is poor.Adeferesan made the comments during a sermon on May 17, titled Becoming Who God Says You Can Be, the sequel, where he spoke about how much value the Naira has lost through the years.

Let's take a look.

I was not born poor.My father's salary, his last salary, in the 1970s or 80s, I don't remember when it was, was about 18 ,000 naira.It was money.Let me make it clear to you.How much is a billion naira today in dollars?A 1 .4 billion naira, how much is it in dollars?

Only one million dollars.Do you know what a billion naira was when I was 15, 16?2 .8 billion dollars.

Nigeria is dead.This is what Pastor Paul Adeferesen said from his pulpit.And people are reacting because he said it out loud, what many Nigerians are feeling.We've just spent time covering insecurity stories, and now a prominent pastor is saying the country is dead.Now, as we approach 2027, the question is, does anyone in power care enough to attempt a resurrection?Well, President Bola Amed Tinubu sparked reactions online after publicly revealing that his economic reforms have impacted him on a personal level, stating that he's lost sleep and weight over the country's challenges.

The president made these comments on Sunday while accepting the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket at the Bola Amed Tinubu International Conference Center in Abuja after polling 10 .9 million votes.Let's take a look.

If you lost sleep, I lost some too.If you have lost weight, I think I've lost some too.But I've always remembered one thing, that year 2022, I asked for this job and you all supported me and I got it.So I must do it.

This has garnered a ton of reactions, and I'll take one from Malowo, who said Tinebu's 2022 words show real intent.He knew reforms would hurt and claimed he'd feel the pain too by losing sleep and weight.Respect for admitting the sacrifice needed for Nigeria's future, but three plus years later, the pain is too heavy for most citizens.Inflation crushing families, fuel prices unbearable.No visible relief yet.Leaders must watch words with faster results.

We're watching.Another ex -user wrote, Nothing, not weight, not power, not wealth, not even his children has lost anything.Even his wife couldn't lose her small vegetable farm.Imagine that.The real losers are Nigerians.We lost our purchasing power, lives every day to terrorism, our families to kidnappers, our families to hunger.

And many more.I mean, you cannot blame Nigerians for stating the obvious fact.I mean, we just reeled out a ton of insecurity stories.Before I come to you, I'll take this final one.Meanwhile, an old video of Vice President Keshim Shetima from when he was governor of Borno State has re -emerged.and has gone viral.

In the clip, Shatema is seen getting visibly emotional while speaking about persistent insecurity during former President Goodluck Jonathan's administration.The incident reportedly took place in 2012, while Shatema was presenting a 2013 appropriation bill at the State House of Assembly during an uptick in Boko Haram attacks at the time.Let's take a look.

Our hopes are very much alive and they are very high.Your Excellency, we came with some observations and 10 specific requests for urgent presidential intervention.These observations and requests are products of discussions in the aftermath of our extraordinary security meeting held one week ago.We didn't rush to come after the meeting.We felt the need to travel to Northern Borneo, interact with displaced persons and the military.

All right, Rufai, I believe you asked the question the last time.He's crying here.Where are the tears now?

Didn't they build 20 billion Naira worth of house for Shetima?Am I lying?Yes, the vice -presidential home.So how will he cry?You can't cry in a 20 billion Naira mansion now.That time they were crying because Jonathan was their problem.

He wanted to remove Jonathan.So anything for the camera, they would do theatric, they would cry.Now they are beheading people.We are not hearing anything.They say if they were not beheading you, now they are shalaki.You know what it means to behead somebody?

Yeah.They can never cry because that's who they are.People are going, the only part I just believe, I disagree with Pastor Paula, the Pharisees.I don't think Nigeria is finished.I don't think Nigeria is finished.I think the day the people wake up in Nigeria, I'll stop the shenanigans of our leaders, the country will jump back up.

I don't think Nigeria is a hopeless case.I think the day the people wake up, but as long as people are docile and everything.But what has he said that is not, don't we talk about the energy?We have all become poorer.So if you're earning in Naira, we all earn, when you're allowed for salary coming here, is it on Naira?When we see it, Has the money not all gone before we plan?

In fact, there are some people that I know that, Dr. Abadi, before the salary come, they've already even shop wasted and dumped the salary you get.So there are needs for everybody.Presidential boost reform, we said it, it was going to destroy the lives and livelihoods of people.And it has done because it didn't also give us sincerity.People are still feeding farts.Till today, there are many corruptions.

Till today, you know the matter of spending FAC for votes.that they put fake money, 800 billion.You know, they just swept the case under the carpets.

The allegations.

The allegations under the carpets.I would have wanted people to have the facts.Maybe they can take it to EFCC, they can investigate.So you can see the nation is at loggerheads.And you see, one thing, I always argue this, the reforms, yes, but the purity and sincerity of the reforms It's never the case.Politicians are feeding fat at the expense of the poor people.

We didn't get the purity and sincerity of reform.Those that they needed to go after, they didn't go after them.So we are just hovering around.But the day Nigeria people wake up,that's the day the country will jack back up.Now, Nigerians are still sleeping.

They're snoring.

Brief comment on Pastor Paul Adeyiforeson.

Adeyiforeson.

Now, he should not mislead the congregation.Because when a pastor says, oh, if you spend naira, you should spend dollar.If you hold naira, it means you are poor.What volume of naira should anybody hold?Naira is the national currency of Nigeria.It's legal tender.

It's not the dollar.except the pastor is saying that when the congregation comes to church they should give offerings and pay tithes in dollars.He should speak for himself.And the job of the pastor is not to be telling his congregation that Nigeria is dead.Nigeria is not dead.All right.

All right.All right.All right.All right.All right.
