00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Justice Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting

2
00:00:03,520 –> 00:00:06,919
in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the

3
00:00:06,960 –> 00:00:11,400
Inspector General of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to

4
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:15,599
stop the upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by

5
00:00:15,679 –> 00:00:19,320
Nigerians to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic

6
00:00:19,359 –> 00:00:24,600
Agitation leader Marzi Nandikanu. But according to the organizer of

7
00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:28,760
the protest, Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined to

8
00:00:28,839 –> 00:00:32,200
grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to

9
00:00:32,240 –> 00:00:36,000
stop the planned protest in the open court, the Federal

10
00:00:36,079 –> 00:00:39,880
High Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion in

11
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:43,479
chambers imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa,

12
00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:47,640
National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a

13
00:00:47,719 –> 00:00:51,479
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.

14
00:00:51,759 –> 00:00:55,719
The protest remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The United

15
00:00:55,719 –> 00:01:00,600
States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to

16
00:01:00,640 –> 00:01:03,880
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements

17
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:08,719
in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest

18
00:01:08,799 –> 00:01:12,599
may lead to destructions and violence. Detailed of the court

19
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:16,439
action as captured by Punch newspaper. The Federal High Court

20
00:01:16,439 –> 00:01:20,000
in Abuja has refused the Nigeria Police Force his bid

21
00:01:20,040 –> 00:01:24,000
to stop the Free Namdi Canyono protest, allowing it to

22
00:01:24,040 –> 00:01:27,879
proceed as scheduled. On Monday, October twentieth, twenty twenty five,

23
00:01:28,680 –> 00:01:33,400
the Inspector General of Police, KeyOne Eggbetoken, had dispatched police

24
00:01:33,480 –> 00:01:36,079
lawyers to the court to move an ex party motion

25
00:01:36,239 –> 00:01:40,799
against activist and protest organizer Omiyele Saware in a bid

26
00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:44,200
to legally preempt the planned demonstration slated for the Asso

27
00:01:44,319 –> 00:01:48,680
Rock Villa. However, Justice Umar of the Federal High Court,

28
00:01:48,959 –> 00:01:52,959
Abuja declined to grant the motion, which would have immediately

29
00:01:53,040 –> 00:01:57,599
restrained the protest from taking place without hearing the opposing side.

30
00:01:57,680 –> 00:02:00,640
The judge instead instructed the police to fot formally serve

31
00:02:00,799 –> 00:02:04,000
notice of their application on Saware and adjourned the case

32
00:02:04,079 –> 00:02:08,520
until Tuesday for a proper contested hearing. Reacting to the

33
00:02:08,599 –> 00:02:13,560
judicial decision, the protest convener, Ami Jele Saware affirmed the

34
00:02:13,560 –> 00:02:16,680
court’s decision as a victory for civil liberties and doubled

35
00:02:16,680 –> 00:02:20,280
down on the scheduled protest. In a statement issued on

36
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:24,199
his ex handle on Friday, following the ruling, Saware said

37
00:02:24,520 –> 00:02:29,599
Igo Police Nigeria Keyode Eggbato can dispatched police lawyers to

38
00:02:29,719 –> 00:02:32,479
Sumi in an effort to halt the Free namdican Uno

39
00:02:32,599 –> 00:02:38,280
protest scheduled Faraso Rockvilla on Monday. However, the Judge Justice

40
00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:41,400
whom Are of Federal High Court in Abuja refused to

41
00:02:41,439 –> 00:02:44,960
grant the ex party motion, instead instructing him to serve

42
00:02:45,039 –> 00:02:48,000
me notice and adjourning the case until Tuesday for a

43
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:53,479
proper hearing. The demonstration, organized under the hashtag Free Namdicanuno,

44
00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:56,879
is intended to draw attention to the prolonged detention and

45
00:02:57,000 –> 00:03:00,680
legal fate of Karno. The police action seen as an

46
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:04,000
attempt to leverage the courts to prevent a potentially sensitive

47
00:03:04,039 –> 00:03:07,960
gathering near the seat of Nigerian power. The adjournment to

48
00:03:08,039 –> 00:03:11,639
Tuesday ensures that the planned Monday protest is not currently

49
00:03:11,680 –> 00:03:14,800
constrained by a court order, setting the stage for a

50
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:20,080
potential high profile confrontation between protesters and security agencies around

51
00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:24,840
the presidential villa. Channel’s Television also on Friday, reported that

52
00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:29,039
ahead of the Free Namdikanuno protests slated for Monday, October

53
00:03:29,080 –> 00:03:32,159
twentieth in the nation’s capital. The U S Embassy in

54
00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:36,039
Abuja has issued a security alert to Americans. In a

55
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:40,240
statement published on its website on Friday, the Embassy cautioned

56
00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:43,479
that the protest could lead to disruptions and potential violence.

57
00:03:44,240 –> 00:03:47,479
The Embassy advised U S citizens to steer clear of

58
00:03:47,520 –> 00:03:50,680
the protest areas and limit their movement across the city.

59
00:03:51,360 –> 00:03:54,960
The US Embassy in Abuja informs US citizens that the

60
00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:59,000
Free Namdi Krno Now protest has called for peaceful demonstrations

61
00:03:59,080 –> 00:04:03,960
on Monday October twentieth, twenty twenty five in Abuja. There

62
00:04:03,960 –> 00:04:09,360
may be roadblocks, traffic congestion, and confrontations between police and

63
00:04:09,400 –> 00:04:12,759
protesters that could turn violent around Eagles Square and the

64
00:04:12,800 –> 00:04:17,600
Central Business District. The Embassy advises all US citizens to

65
00:04:17,680 –> 00:04:21,000
avoid this area and to severely limit all movement throughout

66
00:04:21,040 –> 00:04:24,879
the city on Monday, October twentieth. The statement read in part,

67
00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:29,120
the Embassy recommended that children stay home from school and

68
00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:32,399
the domestic staff who commute from outside Abuja do not

69
00:04:32,480 –> 00:04:35,920
report to work on that day. It also called on

70
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:40,839
all Americans in Nigeria to take heightened security precautions. The

71
00:04:40,879 –> 00:04:45,079
planned protest was announced by activist and former presidential candidate

72
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:49,160
of the African Action Congress Amiyele Saware on his ex

73
00:04:49,199 –> 00:04:53,560
account on October ninth Saware stated that the protest would

74
00:04:53,560 –> 00:04:56,680
take place on October twentieth and be directed toward the

75
00:04:56,720 –> 00:05:01,079
Asso Rock Presidential Villa. He described it as a historic

76
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:04,560
and peaceful demonstration aimed at securing the release of the

77
00:05:04,639 –> 00:05:09,879
leader of the Prescribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Namdikru Carlu,

78
00:05:10,160 –> 00:05:13,639
who is currently facing terrorism charges at the Federal High

79
00:05:13,680 –> 00:05:17,000
Court in Abuja, has been in custody since June twenty

80
00:05:17,079 –> 00:05:21,680
twenty one, following his controversial extradition from Kenya. But shortly

81
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:25,920
after the aforesaid media reports, Amiele Saware, in a statement

82
00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:30,360
through his social media accounts on Friday, said that after

83
00:05:30,439 –> 00:05:33,040
failing to obtain a legitimate court order to halt the

84
00:05:33,120 –> 00:05:37,600
unstoppable Free Namdicanuno protest, the Nigeria Police Force has now

85
00:05:37,680 –> 00:05:41,319
resorted to a fresh wave of panic driven measures. In

86
00:05:41,319 –> 00:05:45,959
Ondo state, police authorities have reportedly ordered that officers sympathetic

87
00:05:46,040 –> 00:05:49,040
to the movement be confined to their barracks, an action

88
00:05:49,160 –> 00:05:52,879
that exposes the deep unease within the system. Rather than

89
00:05:52,920 –> 00:05:56,639
engage with the legitimate and peaceful demands of citizens, the

90
00:05:56,680 –> 00:06:00,600
police are turning their energy toward internal repression and fear tactics,

91
00:06:00,920 –> 00:06:03,959
a clear sign that the movement’s message has struck a nerve,

92
00:06:04,759 –> 00:06:08,519
the people are awake and the movement remains unstoppable. In

93
00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:13,800
another statement on Friday, accompanied with video footage, Amielee Sware said,

94
00:06:14,279 –> 00:06:19,399
earlier today, the Nigeria Police Force FCT Command invited Barrister

95
00:06:19,519 –> 00:06:23,000
Maxwell Opara to discuss the planned Free nam Dekanuno protest.

96
00:06:23,839 –> 00:06:27,279
Upon our arrival at the command’s entrance, we were abruptly

97
00:06:27,319 –> 00:06:31,279
stopped by a police contingent stationed at the gate offices,

98
00:06:31,319 –> 00:06:34,360
claimed the new Commissioner of Police was resuming duty and

99
00:06:34,399 –> 00:06:37,040
could not attend to visit us until after his official

100
00:06:37,079 –> 00:06:41,680
resumption rituals. When we were eventually allowed through, the senior

101
00:06:41,720 –> 00:06:45,680
police officer, Habib Mohammad, who had extended the invitation, met

102
00:06:45,759 –> 00:06:48,920
us and presented a copy of the organizer’s letters seeking

103
00:06:48,959 –> 00:06:53,560
police protection. Barrister Maxwell Opara had not arrived at that point.

104
00:06:53,879 –> 00:06:57,360
A letter filed by Barrister Opara as legal representative of

105
00:06:57,399 –> 00:07:00,439
the protest movement, but The tone of the the meeting

106
00:07:00,519 –> 00:07:04,160
shifted quickly after the senior police officer Muhammad, received a

107
00:07:04,199 –> 00:07:07,680
phone call. He informed us that the Deputy Commissioner of

108
00:07:07,759 –> 00:07:12,759
Police DCP, in charge of the State Intelligence Department SID

109
00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:16,639
wished to meet us. When we arrived at his office,

110
00:07:16,879 –> 00:07:20,199
he expressed surprise at my presence at the FCT command,

111
00:07:20,639 –> 00:07:24,000
claiming that no invitation had been extended to me personally.

112
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:29,600
He remained polite and we left courteously. Shortly after, Barrister

113
00:07:29,720 –> 00:07:33,480
maxwell Opara arrived to the supol’s office, where the conversation

114
00:07:33,680 –> 00:07:37,800
turned tense. The officer issued a veiled threat, warning that

115
00:07:37,879 –> 00:07:41,920
Barrister Opara would be held responsible if anything goes wrong

116
00:07:41,959 –> 00:07:46,399
anywhere in Abouja on Monday. Barrister Opara reminded him that

117
00:07:46,439 –> 00:07:49,560
this was precisely why the organizers had sent a formal

118
00:07:49,639 –> 00:07:54,519
notification to insure a peaceful and lawful demonstration. The officer

119
00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:58,879
reportedly began shouting and the meeting ended abruptly. According to

120
00:07:58,959 –> 00:08:02,319
Barrister Opara, it became clear that they did not want

121
00:08:02,399 –> 00:08:06,360
me present because they were seeking someone they could intimidate.

122
00:08:06,680 –> 00:08:10,160
Not long after we left the command, the illegal IGP

123
00:08:10,360 –> 00:08:13,319
directed police lawyers to obtain a court order to stop

124
00:08:13,360 –> 00:08:17,759
the protest. However, the Federal High Court judge declined to

125
00:08:17,839 –> 00:08:21,439
grant the order in open court. It was later reported

126
00:08:21,480 –> 00:08:25,439
that a limited purpose order was issued, but no such

127
00:08:25,560 –> 00:08:28,879
order has been served on the organizers. The Free Nam

128
00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:33,759
de Canuno protest is unstoppable. We are proceeding as planned, peacefully,

129
00:08:34,080 –> 00:08:47,080
lawfully and with unwavering resolve, Emile Souare, stated Guinigi. Whenever

130
00:08:47,200 –> 00:08:52,080
controversies surround Rufaya Sani, the outspoken and fearless broadcaster on

131
00:08:52,159 –> 00:08:56,639
a Rise Television, one recurring argument often resurfaces in public

132
00:08:56,679 –> 00:09:00,440
discourse the claim that Rufaya Sani is not a jojournalist.

133
00:09:00,840 –> 00:09:03,600
Critics are quick to emphasize that he lacks a formal

134
00:09:03,679 –> 00:09:08,480
academic background in journalism, having originally trained in animal anatomy.

135
00:09:08,759 –> 00:09:12,639
But beyond the semantics of qualification, a deeper question emerges.

136
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:15,879
What truly defines a journalist and what are the core

137
00:09:15,960 –> 00:09:20,879
functions of journalism in society. As mass communication teacher, we

138
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:23,919
teach students from the very first class that the media

139
00:09:24,039 –> 00:09:30,200
exists to inform, educate, entertain, and preserve cultural heritage. Journalists

140
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:33,279
also play the crucial roles of agenda setting and acting

141
00:09:33,279 –> 00:09:37,879
as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable, and amplifying the voices

142
00:09:37,919 –> 00:09:42,360
of the government. The media’s capacity to shape national conversations

143
00:09:42,399 –> 00:09:46,559
is immense. By highlighting specific issues and giving them prominence,

144
00:09:46,960 –> 00:09:51,279
journalists help raise awareness and influence public perception. It is

145
00:09:51,399 –> 00:09:56,120
through such a gender setting functions that societies engage in dialogue, debate,

146
00:09:56,559 –> 00:10:00,399
and reform, thereby playing participatory role in the pre process

147
00:10:00,399 –> 00:10:04,960
of governance. When examined through this functional lens, it becomes

148
00:10:05,039 –> 00:10:09,879
clear that Rufai Sini has consistently fulfilled these journalistic responsibilities

149
00:10:09,960 –> 00:10:15,440
over the years. His incisive questioning, fearless commentary, and commitment

150
00:10:15,480 –> 00:10:18,240
to public accountability have made him one of the most

151
00:10:18,360 –> 00:10:24,440
recognizable broadcast personalities in contemporary Nigerian media. A notable example

152
00:10:24,559 –> 00:10:27,559
is his now famous exchange with the Minister of Works,

153
00:10:27,919 –> 00:10:32,639
Engineer Dave Yumihi on a Rise television. Before that encounter,

154
00:10:33,120 –> 00:10:36,840
few Nigerians had publicly interrogated the cost per kilometer of

155
00:10:36,919 –> 00:10:42,080
road construction projects executed by government agencies. While the Minister

156
00:10:42,159 –> 00:10:47,919
initially dismissed Rufai’s questioners elementary, the issue soon gained traction nationally.

157
00:10:48,679 –> 00:10:53,279
In fact, subsequent clarifications by Yumihi and even a public

158
00:10:53,320 –> 00:10:57,519
response by Oyo State Governor saying mar Kinde demonstrated that

159
00:10:57,559 –> 00:11:01,320
a Sine’s line of questioning had forced an important accountability

160
00:11:01,399 –> 00:11:06,399
conversation into the mainstream. Through this singular act, Rufi did

161
00:11:06,440 –> 00:11:10,120
what the media are mandated to do, hold power accountable,

162
00:11:10,440 –> 00:11:14,799
enlighten the public, and stimulate civic engagement. It is true

163
00:11:14,799 –> 00:11:18,240
that a formal qualification, such as a diploma or degree

164
00:11:18,240 –> 00:11:23,279
in journalism is generally considered a prerequisite for professional practice.

165
00:11:23,480 –> 00:11:27,480
Yet history tells a different story about the Nigerian press.

166
00:11:27,960 –> 00:11:32,200
Many of the country’s most celebrated media pioneers, from Herbert

167
00:11:32,240 –> 00:11:36,639
McCauley to Ernest A. Collie, Namdia zeki Way and Obefemi Awoloo,

168
00:11:37,039 –> 00:11:42,159
were not trained journalists in the academic sense. Nevertheless, through passion,

169
00:11:42,440 –> 00:11:46,759
intellect and experience, they became towering figures in the nation’s

170
00:11:46,840 –> 00:11:52,399
journalistic landscape in the decades that followed. Major Nigerian newspapers

171
00:11:52,559 –> 00:11:56,000
like The Guardian, The Punch, The Tribune and the defunct

172
00:11:56,120 –> 00:12:01,960
National Concord were edited by professionals whose background literature, political science,

173
00:12:02,279 –> 00:12:07,480
law and the humanities, not necessarily journalism. What matted was

174
00:12:07,519 –> 00:12:11,919
their adherence to journalistic ethics and commitment to truth. Today,

175
00:12:12,399 –> 00:12:16,039
journalism is evolving faster than ever. The rise of social

176
00:12:16,039 –> 00:12:20,879
and digital media has democratised information dissemination, giving birth to

177
00:12:20,919 –> 00:12:26,120
citizen journalism, a space where individuals, regardless of academic background,

178
00:12:26,440 –> 00:12:31,120
can contribute meaningfully to public discourse. The boundaries of professional

179
00:12:31,200 –> 00:12:36,399
journalism have expanded, now encompassing voices trained in diverse disciplines

180
00:12:36,440 –> 00:12:40,039
but committed to the principles of truth, balance, and fairness.

181
00:12:40,759 –> 00:12:45,919
In this context, Rufayasini’s two decades of consistent broadcast experience,

182
00:12:46,360 –> 00:12:49,879
his engagement with media ethics, and his pursuit of professional

183
00:12:49,919 –> 00:12:55,080
development courses or reinforce his credibility. His work reflects a

184
00:12:55,159 –> 00:13:00,000
mastery of journalism’s essence, even if his educational roots lie elsewhere.

185
00:13:00,759 –> 00:13:04,879
The debate over Rufaia Sine’s academic background may continue, but

186
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:08,240
it misses the more profound point. Journalism is as much

187
00:13:08,279 –> 00:13:12,919
a calling as it is a profession. It demands curiosity, courage,

188
00:13:13,159 –> 00:13:17,759
critical thinking, and an unwavering commitment to public interest. By

189
00:13:17,799 –> 00:13:22,240
these measures, Rufaia Saani has proven himself a journalist, not

190
00:13:22,360 –> 00:13:26,320
by certificate, but by conviction and consistent service to society.

191
00:13:27,039 –> 00:13:34,679
Writer isa Abdulazase, mass communication lecturer, Federal Polytechnic Hauci.

192
00:13:34,720 –> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: Why yes, mister w this monologue is quite long. So

193
00:13:38,519 –> 00:13:41,559
at first, minister, after you had gone to respond, report

194
00:13:41,639 –> 00:13:44,000
me in front of president all sorts.

195
00:13:44,480 –> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, I am not beholding to you.

196
00:13:46,120 –> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: My job is account that for me to report you

197
00:13:48,679 –> 00:13:56,120
to the president. No, but minister, minister, let me speak. Minister, ministers, mister,

198
00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:56,919
let me speak.

199
00:13:57,320 –> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: I have empirical evidenced.

200
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,279
Speaker 2: The world watched it on the commission of the project

201
00:14:01,360 –> 00:14:04,360
where you mentioned the questions I ask you to the

202
00:14:04,399 –> 00:14:07,039
president that was reporting me to the president officially. The

203
00:14:07,080 –> 00:14:09,840
world watches, so you don’t need to delete that about

204
00:14:09,840 –> 00:14:10,679
the empirical facts.

205
00:14:10,679 –> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: I don’t talk without facts, minister.

206
00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:13,919
Speaker 2: You know when I have my fact, I talk and

207
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:15,879
I insist on my question when I ask on course,

208
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:18,480
let me see, minister, you will not.

209
00:14:19,120 –> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: You will not.

210
00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: You will not allow me to speak. The problem is

211
00:14:21,679 –> 00:14:23,200
you will not allow me to speak. You spoke for

212
00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:25,840
over twenty minutes, over ten minutes because you don’t know

213
00:14:25,879 –> 00:14:28,600
what you’re speaking. But let me speak, Let me speak.

214
00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:31,240
You will not will you will not allow me to speak.

215
00:14:31,600 –> 00:14:33,799
You see, if you can just keep quiet and be

216
00:14:33,840 –> 00:14:35,399
calm and just allow me to speak.

217
00:14:35,559 –> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: I’ll be happy, all right.

218
00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: So my question still persists as regards the course spaculumia.

219
00:14:41,399 –> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: You cannot tell me that.

220
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: We don’t have a right to know the course paculumister,

221
00:14:45,039 –> 00:14:47,399
even if it’s a doletting landscape. Give us all the

222
00:14:47,399 –> 00:14:49,120
fact that the details of the cost paculometer.

223
00:14:49,519 –> 00:14:49,879
Speaker 3: That’s all.

224
00:14:49,919 –> 00:14:53,879
Speaker 2: We’ll ask for other questions as regards the loans taking,

225
00:14:55,080 –> 00:14:58,600
let me let me finish.

226
00:14:58,720 –> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: Listen to me, minister. The minister will.

227
00:15:01,840 –> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Not no no no, no, no, no no no, don’t

228
00:15:04,360 –> 00:15:04,960
do that with me.

229
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:07,519
Speaker 3: Minissa will not do that with me. I was in

230
00:15:07,600 –> 00:15:09,960
your studio, Minister will when the first.

231
00:15:09,720 –> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: Section was on and I ran the figures and what

232
00:15:13,559 –> 00:15:17,320
to action. It is seven fifty kilometers of costa highway.

233
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:20,200
We should tell you cost per kilometers. So you multiplied

234
00:15:20,200 –> 00:15:22,360
by seven fifty nor sissica.

235
00:15:22,559 –> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: No, so tell me the cost per kilometers. There’s nothing

236
00:15:24,519 –> 00:15:26,080
too hard for you to tell me that figure. You’ve

237
00:15:26,120 –> 00:15:27,720
not told me that figure. So I was right on

238
00:15:27,759 –> 00:15:28,200
that point.

239
00:15:28,559 –> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: The second understand anything. The second point I’m trying. You

240
00:15:33,240 –> 00:15:35,960
don’t don’t stand anything. I’m a professor in this field.

241
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,639
Speaker 2: Okay, you don’t what you gave your professorship.

242
00:15:39,639 –> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: You need to tell you a.

243
00:15:40,639 –> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: Cost what university gave you professorship and engineering. I didn’t

244
00:15:44,159 –> 00:15:46,840
know you are professor, my minister, I didn’t know.

245
00:15:47,720 –> 00:15:52,519
Speaker 3: So please, you’re not You’re not a professor in practice.

246
00:15:52,639 –> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: In professor in practice, I’m understanding gineering.

247
00:15:56,480 –> 00:15:58,519
Speaker 3: So second, you have no knowledge of what to ask.

248
00:15:58,639 –> 00:16:00,480
If you will let me, you have no knowledge.

249
00:16:00,480 –> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: If you’ll let me, I told you keep quiet, okay,

250
00:16:03,240 –> 00:16:05,879
and then stop there, you minister.

251
00:16:05,919 –> 00:16:06,679
Speaker 3: It’s all right.

252
00:16:06,879 –> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: Keep dignifying yourself and let the world see you for

253
00:16:08,879 –> 00:16:12,600
who you are. If you allow me to speak the

254
00:16:12,679 –> 00:16:15,360
other one hundred kilometers that you said have added to it.

255
00:16:15,639 –> 00:16:18,080
WOULD like to know the cost back kilometer of that

256
00:16:18,120 –> 00:16:22,639
one and the win some homes. The case is in

257
00:16:22,759 –> 00:16:24,080
court now. I would like to know the cost pa

258
00:16:24,159 –> 00:16:25,240
kilometers for that one.

259
00:16:25,399 –> 00:16:26,039
Speaker 3: I would like to.

260
00:16:26,000 –> 00:16:29,279
Speaker 2: Also know the other seven hundred billion first tranche of

261
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:31,799
loan you guys got for this project. Has the money

262
00:16:31,840 –> 00:16:34,879
been spent? I was the money deployed? I also like

263
00:16:34,960 –> 00:16:36,720
to know. I also love to know the terms of

264
00:16:36,759 –> 00:16:40,519
that loan? All right, how many years? What’s the paidback period?

265
00:16:40,639 –> 00:16:43,039
Was the payback term of that loan and for the

266
00:16:43,120 –> 00:16:47,440
win some homes. Isn’t it interesting that, as somebody that’s

267
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:48,639
been a governor in the States.

268
00:16:48,440 –> 00:16:51,279
Speaker 3: You know the law, a case is in courts, and there.

269
00:16:51,159 –> 00:16:53,039
Speaker 2: You’re coming to talk about the digits of the cases

270
00:16:53,039 –> 00:16:55,600
in courts because you deny that the case was not

271
00:16:55,679 –> 00:16:56,000
in court.

272
00:16:56,120 –> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: Now you’ve already accepted that the case is in court.

273
00:16:58,399 –> 00:17:00,639
Speaker 2: So it’s not just better you rush it out with

274
00:17:00,679 –> 00:17:04,039
a woman that has been reporting our case in public

275
00:17:04,079 –> 00:17:06,440
that we all heard, and I ask you questions based

276
00:17:06,480 –> 00:17:09,240
on that. So I just answered the questions. I’ve got

277
00:17:09,279 –> 00:17:11,880
no answer grand with you. You know that we’ve spoken

278
00:17:11,920 –> 00:17:14,480
many times. In fact, when your people call to book,

279
00:17:14,799 –> 00:17:17,000
I booked them and I said you should come on air.

280
00:17:17,039 –> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 3: So please just tell us this information and it’s very important. Minister.

281
00:17:29,720 –> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 4: I’m not hearing even though this guise.

282
00:17:32,920 –> 00:17:37,799
Speaker 3: It’s not Lady buy In.

283
00:17:39,519 –> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Nigerian Army Authority has issued a statement denying threat messages

284
00:17:44,160 –> 00:17:46,960
issued against members of the public ahead of the plan

285
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:51,079
mass protests slated for October twentieth, twenty twenty five, to

286
00:17:51,160 –> 00:17:54,279
demand for the release and freedom of the detained Biafro

287
00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:59,079
Republic Agitation leader Marzie Nandi Kru just as the organizer

288
00:17:59,119 –> 00:18:03,279
and chief campaign Amiele Saware, the publisher of Sahara Reporters

289
00:18:03,359 –> 00:18:06,680
news media, met to seek understanding with the former President

290
00:18:06,720 –> 00:18:11,119
of Nigeria, good Luck of Velet Jonathan, who, according to Saware,

291
00:18:11,519 –> 00:18:15,200
promised to visit President Bolahmed Tanubu to discuss the issue

292
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:19,559
with him. Nigerian Army, in a statement on Friday, said

293
00:18:19,920 –> 00:18:23,559
the attention of the Nigerian Army ENA has been drawn

294
00:18:23,599 –> 00:18:27,200
to a misleading publication by Sahara Reporters alleging that a

295
00:18:27,279 –> 00:18:31,720
Facebook page purportedly operated by military personnel issued veiled threats

296
00:18:31,759 –> 00:18:35,839
against certain individuals ahead of a planned October twentieth protest.

297
00:18:36,599 –> 00:18:39,440
The report is not only false, but a deliberate attempt

298
00:18:39,480 –> 00:18:42,880
to misinform the public and discredit the noble institution of

299
00:18:42,920 –> 00:18:47,279
the Nigerian Army. For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian

300
00:18:47,400 –> 00:18:51,200
Army has only two official social media handles, namely at

301
00:18:51,359 –> 00:18:54,720
h QA Nigerian Army and at Nigerian Army Info, which

302
00:18:54,720 –> 00:19:00,039
are duly verified on Facebook x formerly Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

303
00:19:00,359 –> 00:19:04,160
Any other page or account outside these verified handles does

304
00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:07,240
not belong to the Nigerian Army and should be disregarded

305
00:19:07,240 –> 00:19:10,920
in its entirety. It is pertinent to state that certain

306
00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:15,079
civilians and online content creators now operate pages that post

307
00:19:15,079 –> 00:19:19,039
military related contents purely for the purpose of generating online

308
00:19:19,079 –> 00:19:23,960
traffic and monetary gain. Such pages have no affiliation whatsoever

309
00:19:24,039 –> 00:19:28,640
with the Nigerian Army. The NA therefore dissociates itself completely

310
00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:33,759
from any post statement or activity emanating from these unauthorized sources.

311
00:19:34,559 –> 00:19:38,640
The Nigerian Army remains a professional, disciplined and a political

312
00:19:38,720 –> 00:19:41,839
institution committed to the defense and unity of the Federal

313
00:19:41,880 –> 00:19:47,079
Republic of Nigeria. In the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities,

314
00:19:47,480 –> 00:19:51,400
the NA continues to uphold the highest standards of professionalism,

315
00:19:51,599 –> 00:19:55,200
adherence to the rule of law, and respect for human rights.

316
00:19:55,759 –> 00:19:59,240
The general public and media practitioners are hereby enjoyed to

317
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:03,559
verify all information concerning the Nigerian Army only through its

318
00:20:03,599 –> 00:20:07,640
official platforms or the Directorate of Army Public Relations before

319
00:20:07,720 –> 00:20:13,359
publication or dissemination. The Nigerian Army therefore urges Sahara reporters

320
00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:17,160
and other media outlets to exercise due diligence in verifying

321
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:20,799
the authenticity of their sources to avoid the spread of falsehood.

322
00:20:20,839 –> 00:20:26,279
Capable of misleading the public and undermining national security. Omiyele Saware,

323
00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:29,799
in a statement made available through his personal social media

324
00:20:29,839 –> 00:20:34,319
accounts on Friday, said that earlier today in Abuja, I

325
00:20:34,400 –> 00:20:37,400
met with former President good Luck Jonathan to discuss the

326
00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:42,519
continued incarceration of Marzi Namdi Karno. President Jonathan agreed that

327
00:20:42,559 –> 00:20:45,200
there is an urgent and compelling need to address this

328
00:20:45,279 –> 00:20:49,839
matter decisively and justly. I thank him sincerely for recognizing

329
00:20:49,880 –> 00:20:53,440
the importance of resolving Karno’s case in the interest of peace,

330
00:20:53,880 –> 00:20:58,519
fairness and national healing. Particularly assuring was that he promised

331
00:20:58,559 –> 00:21:01,759
to meet Assawaju Bolah Ahmed to Nubu to discuss this

332
00:21:01,880 –> 00:21:06,240
issue as soon as possible. With this, former President Jonathan

333
00:21:06,359 –> 00:21:09,240
joins a growing list of Nigerians who have called for

334
00:21:09,440 –> 00:21:13,000
justice in Namdi Krnu’s case, a list that already includes

335
00:21:13,039 –> 00:21:18,640
ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Femi Falana San, Senator Schehusani,

336
00:21:18,960 –> 00:21:23,480
and many others across political and regional divides. Marzi Namdi

337
00:21:23,599 –> 00:21:26,640
Krnu remains in detention today because he took up the

338
00:21:26,799 –> 00:21:30,359
just cause of confronting the long standing issue of marginalization

339
00:21:30,519 –> 00:21:35,160
in Nigeria. Like other ethnic and regional activists whose politically

340
00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:39,519
motivated cases have been withdrawn or dismissed. Namdi Karnu should

341
00:21:39,519 –> 00:21:43,759
also be released without further delay. I once again call

342
00:21:43,839 –> 00:21:48,920
on all political, cultural, ethnic and religious leaders across Nigeria

343
00:21:49,039 –> 00:21:53,039
to join this noble cause. In particular, I invite my

344
00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:58,400
brothers and sisters from the Southeast, Mister Peter Hoby, Charles Chukumasludo,

345
00:21:58,799 –> 00:22:04,039
Alex Seiotti, Francis in Waiferu, Peter mbar Ho, huz Odenma

346
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:08,799
Habiageli Azekuisili, John imbart of ohenez Indigbo worldwide as well

347
00:22:08,799 –> 00:22:12,319
as Nigerians of conscience everywhere to lend their voices to

348
00:22:12,359 –> 00:22:16,160
the call for justice and freedom. Nandi Carnu should be

349
00:22:16,200 –> 00:22:20,200
set free and I remain firmly committed to peacefully mobilizing

350
00:22:20,240 –> 00:22:24,480
for justice and freedom in this matter. On Thursday, Amiele

351
00:22:24,640 –> 00:22:27,720
Saware in a statement challenged the decision to set free

352
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:31,920
and grant presidential state pardons to convicted individuals by President

353
00:22:31,960 –> 00:22:36,359
Bola Ahmed Tanubu without considering the release of Marzi Namdi Carno.

354
00:22:37,079 –> 00:22:42,039
According to Saware, to day, President Bola Tanubu extended pardons

355
00:22:42,079 –> 00:22:45,640
to a long list of convicted individuals, including a cocaine

356
00:22:45,640 –> 00:22:50,240
trafficker serving a life sentence, an alleged Couplottera Mammon Vatsa,

357
00:22:50,480 –> 00:22:54,279
the late Nandiazikiway and Herbert McCaulay, and even Ferouk Lawan,

358
00:22:54,559 –> 00:22:58,400
the former lawmaker convicted for taking bribes on tape. He

359
00:22:58,519 –> 00:23:02,720
also pardoned other known for fosters and corrupt politicians. Yet

360
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:06,200
in all of this, Tenubu refuses to even consider the

361
00:23:06,240 –> 00:23:10,000
release of Marzi Namdikru, who has been unjustly detained for

362
00:23:10,119 –> 00:23:14,359
years despite multiple court orders mandating his freedom. It is

363
00:23:14,400 –> 00:23:19,200
a glaring hypocrisy. Criminals and political thieves are forgiven, celebrated

364
00:23:19,559 –> 00:23:23,559
and rehabilitated, while a man demanding self determination and justice

365
00:23:23,599 –> 00:23:26,599
remains behind bars and tossed around in courts with the

366
00:23:26,640 –> 00:23:31,319
pretense that somehow it is about law. Earlier smare raised

367
00:23:31,319 –> 00:23:35,200
an alarm that the presidency is using DSS to contact

368
00:23:35,279 –> 00:23:38,559
and threaten politicians from the Southeast, warning him not to

369
00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:42,400
endorse the Free Namdi Carnu Now movement or participate in

370
00:23:42,480 –> 00:23:46,279
Free Namdi Carnu Now the planned march to Asso Rock Villa.

371
00:23:47,000 –> 00:23:51,200
They’ve contacted some names mentioned in my postings to gaslight them,

372
00:23:51,400 –> 00:23:56,680
claiming the protest was to foment chaos and violence. They’re terrified. However,

373
00:23:57,119 –> 00:23:59,039
we move forward and cannot be stopped.

374
00:24:02,839 –> 00:24:06,039
Speaker 3: Gwindi Ingi.

375
00:24:06,319 –> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation

376
00:24:10,599 –> 00:24:15,559
of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Jeffryuchen Naji,

377
00:24:15,599 –> 00:24:18,440
who had been accused of forging the degree certificate of

378
00:24:18,480 –> 00:24:22,039
the University of Nigeria in Succa and the certificate of

379
00:24:22,119 –> 00:24:25,519
completion of service for the one year mandatory National Youth

380
00:24:25,599 –> 00:24:30,359
Service Corps NYSC after he allegedly failed an exit course

381
00:24:30,759 –> 00:24:36,279
virology repeatedly at the University Nigeria. Presidency in a statement

382
00:24:36,359 –> 00:24:40,160
made available a few minutes ago by the presidential spokesperson,

383
00:24:40,799 –> 00:24:45,759
yo Onnanuga, stated that President Bola Ahmed Talubu has accepted

384
00:24:45,799 –> 00:24:50,279
the resignation of Jeffriuchin Naji, the Minister of Innovation, Science

385
00:24:50,440 –> 00:24:56,200
and Technology, following some allegations against him. President Tellubu appointed

386
00:24:56,279 –> 00:24:59,799
Niji in August twenty twenty three. He resigned today in

387
00:24:59,839 –> 00:25:03,319
an letter thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria.

388
00:25:04,119 –> 00:25:06,880
Naji said he has been a target of blackmail by

389
00:25:06,960 –> 00:25:11,440
political opponents. President Tanubu thanked him for his service and

390
00:25:11,519 –> 00:25:16,720
wished him well in future endeavours. Earlier, Nigeria State controlled

391
00:25:16,759 –> 00:25:21,759
media NTA had reported that the Minister of Innovation, Science

392
00:25:21,799 –> 00:25:26,319
and Technology, which A. Jeffrey Naji, has dismissed reports questioning

393
00:25:26,319 –> 00:25:30,839
his academic qualifications, describing him as politically motivated attempts to

394
00:25:30,880 –> 00:25:35,400
tarnish his image. The minister has firmly defended the authenticity

395
00:25:35,440 –> 00:25:40,079
of his University of Nigeria in Suka degree. Speaking through

396
00:25:40,119 –> 00:25:45,160
his spokesperson, doctor Robert n g Wu, the minister said

397
00:25:45,240 –> 00:25:49,480
records from unn confirm he graduated in July nineteen eighty

398
00:25:49,640 –> 00:25:54,279
five with a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second

399
00:25:54,319 –> 00:25:59,200
Class Honours, Lower Division. He described recent reports denying his

400
00:25:59,279 –> 00:26:03,960
graduation a false, malicious and politically driven, alleging that the

401
00:26:03,960 –> 00:26:08,480
controversy began after opposition figures took key positions within the university.

402
00:26:09,279 –> 00:26:12,359
Niji revealed that the Federal High Court in Abuja has

403
00:26:12,400 –> 00:26:16,240
issued protective orders restraining the university from tampering with his

404
00:26:16,359 –> 00:26:21,240
records and directing the release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming

405
00:26:21,279 –> 00:26:24,880
his focus on national service, the minister said no amount

406
00:26:24,920 –> 00:26:28,359
of political blackmail or media trial will distract him from

407
00:26:28,359 –> 00:26:33,359
advancing innovation and technology in Nigeria. He urged the University

408
00:26:33,359 –> 00:26:37,039
of Nigeria to uphold its motto to restore the dignity

409
00:26:37,079 –> 00:26:41,240
of man and resist being used for partisan purposes. In

410
00:26:41,279 –> 00:26:45,720
a swift reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State Government denied sponsoring

411
00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:50,599
allegations of certificate forgery against the Minister of Innovation, Science

412
00:26:50,960 –> 00:26:54,960
and Technology, Chief Fuche Naji, urging him to carry his

413
00:26:55,079 –> 00:26:59,720
cross and clear his name before Nigerians. The government, in

414
00:26:59,759 –> 00:27:02,720
a press statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the

415
00:27:02,799 –> 00:27:06,599
Director of Information in the Ministry of Information and Communication,

416
00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:10,799
Mister Chukumekibo, said it had no hand whatsoever in the

417
00:27:10,839 –> 00:27:16,119
controversies surrounding the Minister’s academic records. The Enugu State Government

418
00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:21,160
dissociates itself completely from these allegations. The honorable Minister must

419
00:27:21,160 –> 00:27:24,960
carry his own cross and clear his name before Nigerian’s

420
00:27:25,000 –> 00:27:28,000
instead of dragging the government into issues that are entirely

421
00:27:28,039 –> 00:27:32,759
personal to him, mister Nebo declared. The Director of Information

422
00:27:32,920 –> 00:27:36,279
recalled the Chief Naji had invited journalists to a world

423
00:27:36,359 –> 00:27:39,680
Press conference scheduled for Monday at two PM to address

424
00:27:39,720 –> 00:27:43,359
the matter, but failed to show up. A large number

425
00:27:43,400 –> 00:27:47,440
of Nigerian and international journalists reportedly gathered on the Minister’s

426
00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:51,359
invitation to hear directly from him, but rather than appear

427
00:27:51,440 –> 00:27:55,079
before them to answer questions and establish his innocence, the

428
00:27:55,079 –> 00:27:59,000
Minister of scondid, leaving behind proxies who could not withstand

429
00:27:59,039 –> 00:28:02,839
the barrage of legiit make questions from journalists who can

430
00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:07,440
narrate Chief Naji’s UNN story better than him. Why invite

431
00:28:07,440 –> 00:28:11,480
the media only to outsource the conference? Why send third

432
00:28:11,519 –> 00:28:15,799
parties who lack the answers to critical questions? If he

433
00:28:15,839 –> 00:28:20,079
truly has nothing to hide, mister Nebo queried, did he,

434
00:28:20,559 –> 00:28:23,839
for his screening present a purported degree certificate to the

435
00:28:23,880 –> 00:28:27,440
Senate showing that he graduated from the prestigious University of

436
00:28:27,559 –> 00:28:32,799
Nigeria in Soucca UNN in July nineteen eighty five. Is

437
00:28:32,839 –> 00:28:35,240
it true that he deposed in a Federal High Court

438
00:28:35,319 –> 00:28:38,119
filing in Abuja that he was not issued any degree

439
00:28:38,160 –> 00:28:41,759
certificate by UNN and if so, how did he come

440
00:28:41,839 –> 00:28:45,400
about the degree certificate he presented to the Senate. Is

441
00:28:45,440 –> 00:28:48,319
it also true that while he claims to have graduated

442
00:28:48,359 –> 00:28:52,000
in July nineteen eighty five, he applied to the university

443
00:28:52,119 –> 00:28:56,480
to retake Virology Course Code MCB four hundred and thirty

444
00:28:56,519 –> 00:29:01,160
one in the September nineteen eighty five supplementary examine having

445
00:29:01,240 –> 00:29:04,960
failed the course. Is it also true that the university,

446
00:29:05,319 –> 00:29:08,839
in a November eighth, nineteen eighty five, letter, informed of

447
00:29:08,839 –> 00:29:12,400
a chain RG that he again failed Virology Course Code

448
00:29:12,839 –> 00:29:17,200
MCB four hundred thirty one in the supplementary examinations, but

449
00:29:17,319 –> 00:29:19,920
could register to retake the course in the June nineteen

450
00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:24,119
eighty six examinations provided he paid an examination fee of

451
00:29:24,200 –> 00:29:28,599
fourners four nyra. Is it true that on January third,

452
00:29:28,759 –> 00:29:32,480
nineteen eighty six, he again applied to retake the Virology

453
00:29:32,720 –> 00:29:37,559
Course Code MCB four hundred thirty one examination in June

454
00:29:37,680 –> 00:29:41,079
nineteen eighty six, stating in his letter that the receipt

455
00:29:41,160 –> 00:29:44,720
for the payment of the four niras four nyra reset

456
00:29:44,799 –> 00:29:47,920
fee had been attached. Is it true that, while he

457
00:29:47,960 –> 00:29:51,160
claims to be in possession of a university degree, he

458
00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:55,799
only submitted his secondary school WASC certificate to the Independent

459
00:29:55,880 –> 00:30:00,160
National Electoral Commission i NEC for his participation in the

460
00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:04,839
twenty twenty three governorship election. Why did uchen Naji’s proxy

461
00:30:04,920 –> 00:30:08,839
state at the Abujah press conference that the minister graduated

462
00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:13,119
while avoiding stating categorically that he was issued a degree certificate.

463
00:30:13,839 –> 00:30:18,319
Did he also present a purported NYSC discharge certificate showing

464
00:30:18,319 –> 00:30:21,960
that he commenced his national service in April nineteen eighty five,

465
00:30:22,519 –> 00:30:26,400
three months before his supposed graduation, and served until July

466
00:30:26,519 –> 00:30:30,759
nineteen eighty six, an unusual duration of thirteen months instead

467
00:30:30,799 –> 00:30:34,960
of the usual twelve months of national service. Whereas the

468
00:30:35,000 –> 00:30:38,160
CEO of the NYSC at the time he claimed to

469
00:30:38,160 –> 00:30:41,359
have undergone the national service was Colonel ed A Akpen

470
00:30:41,759 –> 00:30:45,839
January nineteen eighty four to December nineteen eighty seven, huchen

471
00:30:45,920 –> 00:30:50,720
Naji’s NYSC discharge certificate was signed by Colonel anamashn Brimo,

472
00:30:51,079 –> 00:30:54,960
who was NYSC CEO from January nineteen eighty eight to

473
00:30:55,000 –> 00:31:00,000
December nineteen ninety. Is it true that NYSC certificates issue

474
00:31:00,200 –> 00:31:03,680
up till October nineteen ninety had six digit numbering devoid

475
00:31:03,759 –> 00:31:09,240
of alphabetic characters, but uch Naji’s discharge certificate, supposedly issued

476
00:31:09,240 –> 00:31:12,279
in nineteen eighty six was numbered A two three one

477
00:31:12,440 –> 00:31:17,319
three zero nine, which includes the alphabet a and above all,

478
00:31:17,680 –> 00:31:19,839
is it a fact that he deposed to an affidavit

479
00:31:19,960 –> 00:31:22,599
in the suit he filed in court, the UNN did

480
00:31:22,640 –> 00:31:26,240
not issue him any certificate and if that is the case,

481
00:31:26,680 –> 00:31:29,680
Nigerians want to know how he came about the certificate

482
00:31:29,720 –> 00:31:32,119
he submitted to the Senate of his own free will

483
00:31:32,119 –> 00:31:36,839
in twenty twenty three. These are the clarifications Nigerian’s earnestly

484
00:31:36,960 –> 00:31:40,400
yearned four and Chief Uchennaji is urged to brave up

485
00:31:40,440 –> 00:31:43,400
to clear his name if he is truly innocent rather

486
00:31:43,440 –> 00:31:48,519
than trading blames, Nebo stressed. Daily Post newspaper had reported

487
00:31:48,519 –> 00:31:51,920
that an Abuja Federal High Court has rejected a bid

488
00:31:51,920 –> 00:31:56,880
by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology uch Naji

489
00:31:57,119 –> 00:32:01,319
to stop the University of Nigeria in Sukka n from

490
00:32:01,359 –> 00:32:07,079
releasing his academic records. The Minister of Education, National University’s

491
00:32:07,079 –> 00:32:13,319
Commission n uc UNN, the university’s vice Chancellor, its registrar

492
00:32:13,400 –> 00:32:16,319
and the Senate of the institution were listed as respondents

493
00:32:16,319 –> 00:32:20,359
in the suit. An application for interim injunction filed by

494
00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:23,559
the Minister’s lawyer asked the court to restrain the respondents

495
00:32:23,599 –> 00:32:28,240
from acting on a request for release of his academic records. However,

496
00:32:28,920 –> 00:32:32,519
Justice housey Yil were turned down the application. The Minister

497
00:32:32,680 –> 00:32:35,160
had prayed the court for an order granting leave to

498
00:32:35,200 –> 00:32:38,359
the applicant to issu the prerogative writ of prohibition on

499
00:32:38,440 –> 00:32:41,799
the three thh to fifth and the seventh respondents, the

500
00:32:41,920 –> 00:32:46,519
VC Registrar and Senate of that school from tampering with

all continuing to tamper with the applicants academic records at UNN.

502
00:32:51,519 –> 00:32:54,480
The minister also prayed for an order granting him leave

503
00:32:54,559 –> 00:32:59,000
to issue the prerogative writ of mandamus compelling the third, two, fifth,

504
00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:01,240
and the seventh response undance to release to him his

505
00:33:01,319 –> 00:33:06,000
academic transcript at the varsity. Other reliefs sought include an

506
00:33:06,079 –> 00:33:09,359
order granting leave to the applicant tradition, the prerogative writ

507
00:33:09,400 –> 00:33:13,039
of mandamus compelling the first and second respondents to ensure,

508
00:33:13,559 –> 00:33:17,640
utilizing their supervisory and disciplinary powers, that the third to

509
00:33:17,960 –> 00:33:20,920
fifth and the seventh respondents released to the applicant his

510
00:33:21,000 –> 00:33:25,680
academic transcript at the University of Nigeria in Succa. An

511
00:33:25,680 –> 00:33:29,480
interim order of injunction restraining the third to fifth and

512
00:33:29,559 –> 00:33:33,200
the seventh respondents from tampering or continuing to tamper with

513
00:33:33,279 –> 00:33:37,759
the applicants’ academic records at the University of Nigeria in Succa,

514
00:33:37,920 –> 00:33:42,720
pending the determination of the substantive suit. In rejecting the application,

515
00:33:42,880 –> 00:33:46,160
after listening to the Council, the Judge held, I have

516
00:33:46,279 –> 00:33:49,799
therefore perused the thirty four paragraph affidavit and the sixth

517
00:33:49,880 –> 00:33:53,880
paragraph affidavit a urgency deposed to buy the applicant the

518
00:33:53,920 –> 00:33:57,599
grounds upon which this application is made, the exhibits attached

519
00:33:57,640 –> 00:34:00,920
there to, and the further affidavit of six paras deposed

520
00:34:00,920 –> 00:34:04,680
to by Martin Luther ACOWI I have equally considered the

521
00:34:04,680 –> 00:34:10,039
written address of Council. I shall therefore refer to paragraphs fifteen, sixteen,

522
00:34:10,440 –> 00:34:15,079
twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five and twenty

523
00:34:15,159 –> 00:34:18,920
nine of the affidavit in support of this application, Exhibits

524
00:34:18,960 –> 00:34:22,440
one two D and paragraphs three, four and five of

525
00:34:22,440 –> 00:34:25,679
the further affidavit. I’m of the humble view, from the

526
00:34:25,760 –> 00:34:30,119
facts deposed in the affidavits, alongside the exhibits attached, that

527
00:34:30,239 –> 00:34:32,920
the applicant has sufficient interest in the matter to which

528
00:34:32,920 –> 00:34:39,400
this application relates. Thus this application is meritorious. Consequently, I

529
00:34:39,519 –> 00:34:43,800
hereby grant prayer one two and three. Only Prayer four

530
00:34:43,960 –> 00:34:47,880
is declined having been refused. The granting of reliefs one

531
00:34:48,119 –> 00:34:51,400
to three shall not serve as injunctive reliefs against any

532
00:34:51,440 –> 00:34:55,719
of the parties. UNN had disowned the Minister’s certificate in

533
00:34:55,719 –> 00:34:59,639
a letter addressed to Premium Times written by the Vice Chancellor,

534
00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:04,480
Professor Simon Autunia. In the letter dated October two, twenty

535
00:35:04,519 –> 00:35:08,199
twenty five, the university maintained that the Minister did not

536
00:35:08,280 –> 00:35:11,800
complete his studies. We refer to your letter dated the

537
00:35:11,840 –> 00:35:15,320
twenty ninth of September twenty twenty five in respect of

538
00:35:15,360 –> 00:35:19,280
the above subject matter. We can confirm that mister Jeffrey

539
00:35:19,360 –> 00:35:23,880
Uchecha Kunaji, with Matriculation number one thousand, nine hundred and

540
00:35:23,960 –> 00:35:27,840

00:35:27,880 –> 00:35:31,559
admitted by the University of Nigeria in Soucca in nineteen

542
00:35:31,639 –> 00:35:35,719
eighty one. From every available records and information from the

543
00:35:35,840 –> 00:35:40,000
University of Nigeria in Soucca, we are unable to confirm

544
00:35:40,039 –> 00:35:44,079
that mister Jeffrey Uchecha Kunaji, the current Minister of Science

545
00:35:44,119 –> 00:35:48,280
and Technology, graduated from the University of Nigeria in July

546
00:35:48,480 –> 00:35:51,400
nineteen eighty five. As there are no records of his

547
00:35:51,519 –> 00:35:55,480
completion of study in the University of Nigeria in Succa.

548
00:35:56,119 –> 00:36:00,360
Flowing from above, the University of Nigeria INSUCA did not

549
00:36:00,480 –> 00:36:04,199
and consequently could not have issued the purported certificate or

550
00:36:04,239 –> 00:36:07,480
at all in July nineteen eighty five to mister Jeffrey

551
00:36:07,519 –> 00:36:12,360
Mucheccha Kunaji, the current Minister of Science and Technology. This

552
00:36:12,440 –> 00:36:15,760
conclusion is also in consonance with an earlier letter dated

Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola

560
00:36:49,719 –> 00:36:54,639
Ahmed Tanubuta, immediately released the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader

561

Marzi Namdi Kanu, stating in a statement personally signed and

562
00:36:59,119 –> 00:37:03,239
made available to Media Newsroom on Monday, that ten years

563
00:37:03,280 –> 00:37:06,599
of detention without conviction is a grave violation of the

564
00:37:06,639 –> 00:37:11,639
fundamental human rights of Marsi Namdicru specifically stated verbat in

565
00:37:11,760 –> 00:37:16,559
that the continued detention of mister Karnu without conviction is

566
00:37:16,599 –> 00:37:19,880
not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound failure

567
00:37:19,920 –> 00:37:23,679
of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental human rights.

568
00:37:24,000 –> 00:37:28,760
His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional

569
00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:32,639
expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We must have

570
00:37:32,679 –> 00:37:36,159
a justice system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength,

571
00:37:36,519 –> 00:37:39,760
not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in

572
00:37:39,840 –> 00:37:44,239
public distrust. According to the Princess, across the span of

573
00:37:44,280 –> 00:37:48,239
a decade, Marsi Namdicanu has endured one of the longest

574
00:37:48,239 –> 00:37:53,079
and most troubling pre trial detentions in Nigeria’s history. Arrested

575
00:37:53,119 –> 00:37:57,840
in twenty fifteen, accused pleading not guilty and never convicted,

576
00:37:58,239 –> 00:38:01,119
he remains confined in a blatant defiance of the most

577
00:38:01,159 –> 00:38:05,960
fundamental human rights principles. Whereas justice when a man stands

578
00:38:06,039 –> 00:38:10,199
unconvicted for ten years, while those charged with upholding justice

579
00:38:10,280 –> 00:38:15,440
remains silent. The continued detention of mister Karnu without conviction

580
00:38:15,639 –> 00:38:18,599
is not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound

581
00:38:18,639 –> 00:38:21,920
failure of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental

582
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:26,719
human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between

583
00:38:26,840 –> 00:38:32,199
Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We

584
00:38:32,320 –> 00:38:35,239
must have a justice system that acts with both fairness

585

and decisive strength, not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo

586
00:38:39,320 –> 00:38:44,239
and mired in public distrust. No charge, however grave, should

587
00:38:44,239 –> 00:38:47,760
ever eclipse the principle that every individual is presumed innocent

588
00:38:47,880 –> 00:38:52,039
until proven guilty. That principle is the very cornerstone of

589
00:38:52,159 –> 00:38:55,800
law and must never be broken, regardless of who holds power.

590
00:38:56,519 –> 00:39:00,400
As we call for Marzi Namdi Karnu’s immediate and unconditional freedom,

591
00:39:00,920 –> 00:39:06,480
my heart goes out to millions of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations,

592
00:39:06,519 –> 00:39:10,519
and economic classes, from Bunau to Quara to Legos, crying

593
00:39:10,559 –> 00:39:16,239
out for help against armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions,

594
00:39:16,519 –> 00:39:21,119
untimely deaths, and the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities.

595
00:39:21,840 –> 00:39:27,159
Beyond politics, every life matters. Marsi Namdicano’s health and spirit

596
00:39:27,199 –> 00:39:30,639
are at grave risk. After ten years behind bars without

597
00:39:30,639 –> 00:39:35,400
a proven crime. This declaration is an urgent proclamation. We

598
00:39:35,480 –> 00:39:39,880
will count every second, every hour, every day and continue

599
00:39:39,920 –> 00:39:44,599
to galvanize until Marsi Namdicano is restored to his rightful freedom.

600
00:39:45,079 –> 00:39:48,559
Nigeria now stands at a cross of roads where history

601
00:39:48,599 –> 00:39:51,760
will judge the true motives of those in power. The

602
00:39:51,800 –> 00:39:54,440
eyes of the world are watching, and the conscience of

603
00:39:54,440 –> 00:39:58,440
the nation is restless. The promise of our democracy depends

604
00:39:58,519 –> 00:40:01,400
not only on acts of courage within the halls of power,

605
00:40:01,440 –> 00:40:05,880
but also on the bold, united actions of citizens. About

act of violence. His prolonged attention, despite serious legal questions

613
00:40:38,719 –> 00:40:42,400
surrounding his rendition and years of unbroken pre trial custody,

614
00:40:42,800 –> 00:40:47,000

633
00:42:17,320 –> 00:42:20,119
have given a clearer picture on how some companies are

634
00:42:20,119 –> 00:42:23,440
apparently aiding and making more money from the ongoing war

635
00:42:23,519 –> 00:42:26,960
in his country Ukraine, saying since the start of the

636
00:42:27,000 –> 00:42:31,639
war four years ago, some unnamed companies in the United States, US,

637
00:42:32,199 –> 00:42:39,880
United Kingdom, uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Republic

638
00:42:40,280 –> 00:42:45,039
Netherlands are producing components Russia under President Vladimir Putin is

639
00:42:45,119 –> 00:42:48,920
using to produce weapons of mass destruction to kill his people.

640
00:42:49,280 –> 00:42:52,840
This Zelenski, in his own words, said on Monday that

641
00:42:53,599 –> 00:42:56,360
in the fourth year of the full scale war, Russia

642
00:42:56,400 –> 00:43:00,400
continues to obtain components for producing weapons. During the massive

643
00:43:00,440 –> 00:43:03,599
combined strike on Ukraine on the night of October fifth,

644
00:43:04,039 –> 00:43:08,440
Russia used five hundred forty nine weapons systems containing one

645
00:43:08,519 –> 00:43:13,360
hundred two thousand, seven hundred eighty five foreign made components

646
00:43:13,760 –> 00:43:17,400
from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan, the

647
00:43:17,519 –> 00:43:22,800
United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and

648
00:43:22,880 –> 00:43:26,960
the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six hundred eighty eight

649
00:43:27,039 –> 00:43:29,920
of foreign made parts were in the launched attack drones.

650
00:43:30,360 –> 00:43:34,119
About one thousand, five hundred were in ascandas, one hundred

651
00:43:34,360 –> 00:43:37,960
ninety two in Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five

652
00:43:38,039 –> 00:43:42,320
in calibers. Zelensky stated this in a statement made available

653
00:43:42,400 –> 00:43:46,480
through his personal social media profile on Monday, after about

654
00:43:46,519 –> 00:43:48,920
thirty people were injured as a result of the Russian

655
00:43:48,960 –> 00:43:52,440
attack on a moving passenger train, killing one person in

656
00:43:52,519 –> 00:43:57,760
Shoska district of Ukraine on Saturday. According to Zelenski, Ukraine

657
00:43:57,840 –> 00:44:01,039
is preparing new sanctions against those who help Russia and

658
00:44:01,079 –> 00:44:04,320
its war, and we have communicated proposals to curb the

659
00:44:04,320 –> 00:44:08,840
supply schemes. Partners already possess the detailed data on each

660
00:44:08,880 –> 00:44:11,880
company and each product. They know what to target and

661
00:44:11,920 –> 00:44:16,559
how to respond. This week, the G seven sanctions coordinators

662
00:44:16,599 –> 00:44:19,920
will meet and we expect a systemic decision to ensure

663
00:44:19,920 –> 00:44:23,400
that the sanctions are truly effective. It is crucial to

664
00:44:23,440 –> 00:44:27,719
shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions, because Russia uses

665
00:44:27,760 –> 00:44:30,960
each one to keep killing the world has the power

666
00:44:31,000 –> 00:44:33,760
to stop this. In the fourth year of the full

667
00:44:33,800 –> 00:44:38,239
scale war, Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons.

668
00:44:39,039 –> 00:44:41,960
During the massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night

669
00:44:42,000 –> 00:44:45,760
of October fifth, Russia used five hundred and forty nine

670
00:44:45,840 –> 00:44:49,880
weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand, seven hundred

671
00:44:49,880 –> 00:44:53,679
and eighty five foreign made components from companies in the

672
00:44:53,800 –> 00:44:59,440
United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,

673
00:44:59,679 –> 00:45:03,679
the rus Public of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one

674
00:45:03,800 –> 00:45:06,840
hundred thousand, six hundred and eighty eight of foreign made

675
00:45:06,880 –> 00:45:10,239
parts were in the launched attack drones, About one thousand,

676
00:45:10,360 –> 00:45:13,360
five hundred were in a scandas one hundred and ninety

677
00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:17,159
two in Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five in calibers.

678
00:45:17,920 –> 00:45:22,360
In particular, companies in the United States manufacture converters for

679
00:45:22,440 –> 00:45:26,679
KH one hundred and one missiles and shad Erran type drones,

680
00:45:27,159 –> 00:45:30,800
senses for those UAVs and for Kinsel missiles, analog to

681
00:45:30,840 –> 00:45:35,480
digital converters for drones and missiles, and microelectronics for missiles.

682
00:45:36,199 –> 00:45:40,000
At least fifty different microelectronic components in each shard are

683
00:45:40,039 –> 00:45:44,760
produced in China and Taiwan. Micro controllers for UAVs are

684
00:45:44,760 –> 00:45:48,840
made in Switzerland, while microcomputers for drone flight control are

685
00:45:48,880 –> 00:45:53,480
produced in the United Kingdom. Opto isolators for cruise missiles

686
00:45:53,559 –> 00:45:58,559
come from Japan, switching connectors from Germany. Russia also uses

687
00:45:58,639 –> 00:46:02,519
processes manufactures in the Netherlands and servo motors and bearings

688
00:46:02,559 –> 00:46:05,960
made in the Republic of Korea. In a separate statement,

689
00:46:06,400 –> 00:46:10,039
Zelensky said, since the start of the full scale invasion,

690
00:46:10,360 –> 00:46:14,159
the capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry has increased by tenfold.

691
00:46:14,880 –> 00:46:18,400
Our production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach

692
00:46:18,519 –> 00:46:22,920
thirty five billion dollars next year. Already, over forty percent

693
00:46:22,960 –> 00:46:25,119
of the weapons in use at the front are either

694
00:46:25,159 –> 00:46:28,960
made in Ukraine or produced with Ukraine, and the share

695
00:46:29,000 –> 00:46:32,760
of our weapons will only grow. The task for manufacturers,

696
00:46:33,119 –> 00:46:36,880
for the Government of Ukraine, for all institutions involved, is

697
00:46:36,920 –> 00:46:38,880
that by the end of the year, no less than

698
00:46:38,920 –> 00:46:41,440
fifty percent of the weapons at the front must be

699
00:46:41,559 –> 00:46:46,320
our Ukrainian weapons, and this task must be accomplished. We

700
00:46:46,440 –> 00:46:49,360
need funding to unleash our full potential, and we are

701
00:46:49,400 –> 00:46:52,400
working with every partner who can help make this possible.

702
00:46:53,079 –> 00:46:57,079
It is time to start exporting our Ukrainian weapons, those

703
00:46:57,119 –> 00:47:00,159
types we have in surplus and can therefore export to

704
00:47:00,239 –> 00:47:03,039
finance the types of weapons that are especially needed for

705
00:47:03,119 –> 00:47:07,639
our defense. I have already instructed the government, the Office

706
00:47:07,840 –> 00:47:11,079
and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council

707
00:47:11,159 –> 00:47:13,880
of Ukraine to develop and present the key elements of

708
00:47:13,920 –> 00:47:17,800
such an export system. The working title of this program

709
00:47:17,920 –> 00:47:22,960
is Zebroya. Our export product agreements are already in place

710
00:47:23,000 –> 00:47:26,880
to launch export import platforms in Europe, the United States

711
00:47:27,079 –> 00:47:30,079
and the Middle East. The task is to have these

712
00:47:30,119 –> 00:47:33,880
platforms operational by the end of the year. I said

713
00:47:33,880 –> 00:47:37,639
this during the International Defense Industries Forum, which we are

714
00:47:37,679 –> 00:47:41,039
opening for the third time in Ukraine today. On the

715
00:47:41,119 –> 00:47:45,840
recent attack in Shoska area of Ukraine, Zelensky said, Russia

716
00:47:45,880 –> 00:47:49,280
ignores or rebuffs literally every opportunity to end the war

717
00:47:49,360 –> 00:47:53,360
and guarantee security. Putin wants to wage it and do

718
00:47:53,480 –> 00:47:59,960
it by terrorist, despicable methods. Russia must feel the consequences. Europe, Ameica,

719
00:48:00,559 –> 00:48:03,320
the G seven and the G twenty have the power

720
00:48:03,360 –> 00:48:07,320
to deal with any terrorist. A savage Russian drone strike

721
00:48:07,400 –> 00:48:12,119
on the railway station in Shoshka Sumi region. All emergency

722
00:48:12,239 –> 00:48:15,199
services are already on the scene and have begun helping

723
00:48:15,239 –> 00:48:19,880
people all information about the injured is being established. So

724
00:48:20,079 –> 00:48:24,239
far we know of at least thirty victims. Preliminary reports

725
00:48:24,280 –> 00:48:27,599
indicate that both uk Salized Nature staff and passengers were

726
00:48:27,639 –> 00:48:30,519
at the site of the strike. The Russians could not

727
00:48:30,639 –> 00:48:34,320
have been unaware that they were striking civilians, and this

728
00:48:34,480 –> 00:48:37,800
is terror the world must not ignore. Every day Russia

729
00:48:37,840 –> 00:48:41,760
takes people’s lives and only strength can make them stop.

730
00:48:42,119 –> 00:48:45,760
We’ve heard resolute statements from Europe and America and it’s

731
00:48:45,800 –> 00:48:48,719
high time to turn them all into reality, together with

732
00:48:48,840 –> 00:48:52,039
everyone who refuses to accept murder and terror as normal.

733
00:48:52,760 –> 00:48:56,639
Lip service is not enough now, strong action is needed.

734
00:48:56,840 –> 00:49:01,199
Andre sibaher Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs, also said that

735
00:49:01,280 –> 00:49:04,840
the attacks were targeted and deliberate Russian drone strikes on

736
00:49:04,960 –> 00:49:10,199
passenger trains in Shostka Sumi region, not one, but two strikes,

737
00:49:10,239 –> 00:49:13,320
one after another. This is one of the most barbaric

738
00:49:13,400 –> 00:49:17,480
Russian tactics, the so called double tap, with the second

739
00:49:17,559 –> 00:49:22,079
attack hitting rescuers and people who are evacuating. Russian terrorists

740
00:49:22,159 –> 00:49:25,440
must get strong responses for this deliberate and brutal terror

741
00:49:25,480 –> 00:49:31,119
against civilians. Words are not enough, New devastating sanctions, new

742
00:49:31,199 –> 00:49:34,320
strengthening for Ukraine. This can be done and must be

743
00:49:34,360 –> 00:49:36,719
done to raise the cost of this war for Russia.

744
00:49:37,400 –> 00:49:40,800
Putin must feel the danger of continuing this war personally

745
00:49:40,880 –> 00:49:44,920
for him and his regime. Jan Lipevsky, Czech Minister of

746
00:49:45,000 –> 00:49:49,519
Foreign Affairs, while reacting to the attack in the Shostka community, said,

747
00:49:49,960 –> 00:49:53,440
while we are voting on Chechia’s security, Russia keeps showing

748
00:49:53,480 –> 00:49:56,760
the world its true face. The attack on the train

749
00:49:56,880 –> 00:49:59,559
running from Shostka to Kiev is yet another proof of

750
00:49:59,559 –> 00:50:04,039
its barber and state terrorism orchestrated by the Kremlin. My

751
00:50:04,239 –> 00:50:06,760
thoughts are with all those injured and their loved ones.

752
00:50:07,239 –> 00:50:12,079
But Victor Viktop, a commentator, in his analysis, said that

753
00:50:12,400 –> 00:50:16,119
Zelensky claimed that Russia allegedly targeted a passenger train at

754
00:50:16,119 –> 00:50:19,800
the Shoskra railway station. There is video of the strike,

755
00:50:20,159 –> 00:50:24,199
but upon closer inspection there was no mention of any passengers.

756
00:50:24,960 –> 00:50:28,079
The footage shows the strike hitting a diesel locomotive and

757
00:50:28,119 –> 00:50:32,239
a freight train loaded with containers immediately behind it. Video one,

758
00:50:33,039 –> 00:50:36,199
it looks like a typical military train. There are no

759
00:50:36,679 –> 00:50:41,559
pure passenger trains. Yes, one car looks similar, but the

760
00:50:41,599 –> 00:50:44,559
rest of the train is filled with containers. Photo ie.

761
00:50:45,400 –> 00:50:49,840
Most likely, this single passenger train was used to protect

762
00:50:49,880 –> 00:50:54,000
the cargo, a common practice when military transport is disguised

763
00:50:54,000 –> 00:50:57,840
as civilian. Now, let’s look at the schedule. No passenger

764
00:50:57,880 –> 00:51:01,559
trains departed from Shostka today. The last train was on

765
00:51:01,639 –> 00:51:04,800
October third, and the next one won’t be until the fifth,

766
00:51:05,199 –> 00:51:07,880
So it’s logical to assume that there simply couldn’t have

767
00:51:07,920 –> 00:51:12,000
been any peaceful passengers there. The free movement of military

768
00:51:12,039 –> 00:51:16,400
cargo across Ukraine has ended. Russia has finally started doing

769
00:51:16,440 –> 00:51:23,280
what it’s supposed to do. Ossasuiandi, bringing you Brignie in

770
