, we have the niger in federation, the whole country. we also have a lot of different regions of there is again, some suggestion or talk about the idea that some regions could withdraw like side to be off for a region. i mean could, could they, could they survive on their own? i think you said when i meant, like talking about what suspicion so many years after the civil war. that was very good. i think there's also some degree of concessions causes that we are better to get. i would say that last 6 years i tend and says most so for example, were public, i guess it was really absent to out. it led me on joseph georgia. now seeing radicalization and in fact, bam is sometimes look, but the lips are lead us. when it is said bridge, it's close the man and i get the problem. the sink is credible. it's credible what we need to do at the level of national leadership. that risk is obviously the country. the prisoners insist that this doctor is losses. gifts was most about good. public support for some of his good double showed his beaks, but it r

don't want to really look at it, the nigerian, the nigerian public, the overwhelming majority of a niger in public trusts that the government than i do and government will get to the bottom of it as it always does. but sadly, due to lobbyists, due to fake ends, you all do to fake websites due to the equity was created on social media where knee jerk reactions follow such incidents. the the substantial segment or section of the western media and such countries get the wrong mr. mr. law and this, subsist on it, mr. or i think we can both agree though that there were protesters who were there and what they were there for was to protest against police brutality, especially from the elite unit called sars. which writes, i think would be really broad store. generous for sure. ill treatment. extrajudicial killings. let me ask you, why were there no charges brought against the members of this unit? earlier? these abuses are well documented itself was disbanded, the unit itself was be disbanded, but the evidence of torture can re dated but not so you can cherry pick what to highlight. sorry. excu

the position of niger states government is that no payment of ransom. we do not. we're not about to negotiation because negotiation could me so many things. it's not necessary to send your money. that's not the assurance parents want to hear as the camp outside the school waiting for news of their children. the school in the center of ticket is now empty, except for the occasional visits bites, remaining staff. the head teacher says he receives, on average 4 calls a day from the kidnappers, they demanded all summer for 110000000. that is from one day to be up to $180.00. but now they have include that also to $200000000.00 there. that if we didn't p, that's awesome. that is going to be it for that i should that, that they called me would have to go and pick the dead body's offer. they put like the pit from the school. that's about half a $1000000.00. an amount the parents say they can't afford the mood in ticket, it's not of despair, anger and resignation. for some, nearly a 1000 students have been kidnapped across nigeria in the past one year, raising concerns ab

okay, you on there who has worked in the niger in effect for more than 2 decades now. great to have you with us and your your expertise on this topic shells withdrawal. let's talk about that 1st. is that necessarily a bad thing? are they not? local companies who could actually see this is an opportunity. shells withdrawal is, is bad for the industry in my area. and what i me, the local companies down, they will not be able to feeling the gaps, shells leaving, they're going to create because they do not have the capacity to absorb to volume that's shown to produce. don't forget that shell has been upon our company, the industry in my area, and they to talk to about 60 percent. it's not more often than us production of oil and gas. their local companies will not be able to feel the shoes of shell. they're pulling out ok and it blames the issues of sabotage and oil theft for the reason that it is leaving. i mean, how much responsibility can we always talk about responsibility whether it fits with the company or. ready with the government on a security level, the issue or

in the state of niger, how do we defy consoles? one of his to wife was in the day when men attacked this hell you tank with slimy school. on sunday, 9 of his children were there for why able to escape, but others were taken by the kidnappers. of the crisis drags on he feels let down by government. when we, when we hear about the government's attitude, this crisis is making us more angry. but that officials don't care because it's a religious school and not owned by the government as it is. many of us have given up hope on seeing our children again, the sort of, it's an accusation, the government denies, but it's, it's, it was caving to threats by the criminals. the position of niger states government is that no payment of ransom. we do not, we're not about to negotiation because that goes, if you could me so many things. it's not necessary to send your money. that's not the assurace. parents want to hear as the camp outside the school waiting for news of their children. the school in the center of ticket is now empty, except for th

niger is not unique when it comes to that. you have to bear in mind that your often taking more than invisible enemy that's continuously on the move. i'm sure. where in germany here, i'm sure the bottom line health was taken on, you know, using similar strategies or the i a, or, you know, several other insurgent groups and terrorist groups that governments have had to take on in the pass. so why shouldn't be unique? but the point, mr. ambassador, is that we are looking at the situation specifically in nigeria and in nigeria. do you admit that it has left a significant portion of the population quite exposed to this particular strategy? i mean, you have the u. n, for example, saying that it's making it difficult to get internally displaced. people aid. you have leading security organizations saying that these vocal rum factions that these affiliated, you know, and similar groups, are taking advantage of the space can created by the super cap military strategy. and they're moving around more freely. they're building support, the

i can explain it because the simple explanation is that niger, as i said, operates a democratic system of government. we've had 6 successive elections every 4 years in a since 999. 1 of the, the, the important the most one of the most important norms of, of democracy is freedom of speech which nigeria of holt's, which nigeria celebrates which idea protects. but you cannot use, you cannot allow that certain elements to use those democratic, mister ambassador, i want to ask why? so it or what the down wasn't it because the platform took down president to harvest tweets for violating its abuse for me, their policy. and no that's, that's not the reason. the reason why it was shut down. it was because twitter has been airing, pictures, videos, and the vituperation of, of people that i look into. and robert nigeria, which, while and many people are looking at the situation and they are, is tweet what's the burning later twitter? what band is this, the proportionate response, and now we have the attorney general ordering the immediate prosecution of offenders of the federal government ban on

and perhaps more officials should take a closer look at niger area handling this. because if banning a president over an opinion somehow made it into twitter, the definition of free speech, we all need a lesson in how to deal with big tech tear any twitter has no business deciding on what geo political failures have to say about anything because they're not they're not informed enough to the to do so they're just are responding based on their own political prejudices with very little knowledge about what the situation involve. especially in nigeria, twitter is pretending to be the government of the world, along with other social media platforms. they are trying to institute their own sort of governmental power. the social media platform to combine, have more power than all the nations of the world. and in fact, to all the states in the world, in terms of political influence. so no, this is not surprising and it's not warranted that these nations would be trying to her twitter is political power fantasy. any thing about killing lights during a yale university lectur

what is he to niger a practice is a democratic system of government. you have the principalship origin of power. you have an executive legislative, an independent judiciary, a bi camera legislature. so it's not every single action that is either that should be attributed to either the president or the executive view. it has several moving parts. it has several closures in the democratic wheel. but mister ambassador, do you think that this is a useful law? does the president think that this is a useful law? do you think that parents who fear for the life of the child could really be prevented from paying ransom by law, from governments that is not capable of protecting the children? and the 1st place is this useful, we practice a deliberative democracy where is discourse and within that framework of discourse, we eventually come up with a position. this is how democracy works. and this is what is happening in nigeria, which is the most populous country in africa. it's a country of 200000000 people. so you cannot just take decisions by see at. so you're

small tenuously in niger state nigeria slider niger nigeria, the largest state, has seen a sharp increase in attacks by armed grows, many of whom officials say, have been pushed out from the northern state of them for a while. thousands have been killed in the past 6 years of age. yes, yes, a, some of the attacks are being carried out by book water was setting up new cams in central nigeria. how many rece algeria taking a north central nigeria qualifying games for the castle? 2022 football. well, comp are being played across south america, despite the region suffering from the coven. 19 pandemic. the matches come just days before the culpa america tournament kicks off in brazil. it was a last minute choice of venue to the original co hosting countries, argentina and columbia would deem to be unsafe. don, just wanted to report from when his areas, the international games in latin america, both the world qualifies and the copper america will go ahead because the regional governing body co mobile has decided they math. what he wants is that in the next one. and if you're in our system for th

as to niger, i would return the creation. why is germany at the ready to give back one of the most important african harry teaching european using that? i think because there is no emotional ling recently area, for example, do the relation between germany and the media because of the genocide for genocide in 2020 century is much more difficult. that's where i, for example, this moment, germany is ready to rescue acute debian in bronzes. and for example, the british museum in london is absolutely refusing even refusing the discussion about hope alone. i'm going to come see you now because then it's interesting, this idea of connection. that's why it may be harder or easier. why do you think it's taking germany this long to return these branches? i think had taken so much time because germany or even other european countries have a huge problem mostly in acknowledging the colonial history and the coding colonial past. and the color yellow of the museum as an institution itself. and was acknowledging that museums, institutions t

things that ale niger in particular is particularly vocal about such things that don't go right here in nigeria. and we expect also statement from politicians, including the president of course, following his death yesterday in lagos, to be your sure is leaving a legacy of a very, very good church that is expanding and getting bigger and bigger every day or every, every year or not. and across africa, a lot of people will think that's his departure could mean some slight problems or challenges would be charged because he is the head of that church. and a lot of people sort of believe that with his departure, probably the amount of fellowship or the number of one issue of the, of the church may diminish. but the church officials, i insisted that i took to be sure it's just part of the story. part of the evangelist of the church and he will ice league, it will continue to leave him. in fact, i'm an interest there for us in a bridge with all the later. thank you so much. well, it is now time for the weather and he is everson. hello there. the south west. the monsoon. now making good pro
