is a bet on human ingenuity that's really important when you look at nigeria because nigeria is blessed on the one hand with a lot of oil. but it's really blessed uniquely so for for many of many countries with human ingenuity i mean they have entrepreneurs that you just can't believe like the huge nollywood industry the huge rap industry the local decentralized locally own sort of distribution of music content things i think it is a boom boom in entrepreneurial country with a young population who took to bitcoin readily because it superseded all of the banking infrastructure that nigerians had been blocked from using the international banking sector and also banking between countries between african countries just moving money from next door to a country is almost impossible all over the continent of africa and once bitcoin unlocked the entrepreneurial ism oh the nigerians we saw a boom in that economy and we saw something that nobody had expected and that is a way out of a lot of the interference that comes from outside nigeria and i want to point out i had mentioned that nigeria is a

and i want to point out i had mentioned that nigeria is a huge oil producer and i say these photos to avoid any copyright issues this is just google images of flaring flaring so they flare which is a total waste of the opportunity of that you could have used that energy to create value. and now because of bitcoin you could actually capture that energy and convert it directly that flaring no longer needs to happen thanks to big coin and big queens very close to send relationship with energy and energy consumption so you can capture that and directly into bitcoin so like they lose so much money from that that's not only causes eat environmental disaster but it wastes money the government of nigeria like individuals they they have a problem when it comes to bitcoin because it doesn't fit any model that they have ever seen that they've ever been used to figure out how to run an economy and at 1st there's resistance and then they notice that their paper money it becomes increasingly worthless and that's true of all paper money is spent so far 300 years of money goes to loss of 99.9 percent

former director of nigeria state security service and this security analyst in accra. is executive director of the west african network for peace building welcome to the program mike the government is being blamed for not doing enough to stop what has become a pattern in nigeria which is basically armed groups banned this taking advantage of isolated villages poorly guarded schools most of the time without fences they lost their attacks on mortar or motorbikes and they kidnapped children security forces where are they. well there are people how right we're going to go because the president. is worth a little so if you're going to misuse to provide this is your only look at the concept for. i think it's. short just like. for him. to. use against you i mean. you've got to you have. a right now. you've heard my talking about the need the need to change the way security forces operate in nigeria but before that this seems to be something missing here which is basically how the army how the police if there's no intelligence gathering it seems because some people say that th

it has become common in northern nigeria. gunmen kidnapped dozens, possibly hundreds of schoolchildren in the latest assault on wednesday. one student was killed in the attack. the government has released the name of some who were abductive, including 20 some students. a rescue operation is ongoing. many of the previous attacks have been blamed on bandits who asked for ransom, but the armed groups are not the only security challenges. they have been overstretched fighting boko haram that carries out similar attacks in the northeast. reporter: at this hospital, doctors and nurses treat students and teachers. and at the science college, concerned parents gather for news. elsewhere in town, security is stepped up just as the state government ordered the closure of schools in areas prone to attacks. schools are increasingly targeted as they offer an opportunity to take many students hostage. >> in nigeria, there is a total absence of an administration that has become difficult for locals to have anyone to run to and another thing

a rescue operation is underway in central nigeria where gunmen have kidnapped a group of students the exact number of those taken by the armed gang is unknown but hundreds of missing it's been confirmed that one student was shot and killed in the attack on the state from the school and. only 10 countries have administered 3 courses of all that 19 vaccinations with hundreds of millions of people being left behind that's according to the head of the un who's called on wealthy nations to help kick start a global vaccination plan. well japan has kicked off its covert 1000 vaccination drive just a few months before it's supposed to host the tokyo lympics around 40000 medical workers are being vaccinated in the 1st phase and they'll be followed by senior citizens facebook has blocked strains from viewing or sharing news on its platform because of proposals to make tech giants pay for journalism that's also affected the accounts of several government agencies and emergency services whose pages carry warnings on coronavirus and bushfires went blank well those are the headlines i'll have more

but to me if i look at helping out in nigeria i'm much more interested because if you look at it took who has expenditure in nigeria about 7.777 percent of that amount which amongst about $7700000000.00 out of pocket expenditure just about $1.00 is going to not do not support $1200000000.00 it's about government support so now you know i didn't need to get to this issue where we're able to channel those huge part of pocket expenditure into seeing our initial i help it sharansky that it's quite responsive that has the size and development of part of it and hopefully the country or investors. to begin to put money into the space of the government that the amount that the government has budgeted definitely will not make any difference as far back as well nigeria is not alone many countries that arguably have military political alliances with the united states are indebted to the washington international monetary fund so there's only so much money to go go around what do you think will be the pressures to further privatized vaccine research and maybe distribution of covered vaccines as we

cold war shiner and rush era using coronavirus for their evil geopolitical intent it has to be said nigeria has emphasized the astra zeneca vaccine do you think more than the sputnik 5 and they sign a form chinese one yet and i think that has and i think partly because you know the coaches situation or what astra zeneca you know is something that. we're already have big on our united nations system and. i think if you if you if you look back you see that before the russians back then was that that for instance in the u.k. but also have results that you know everybody could look at and the russian one hasn't been tested here actually we're not really hearing much about sputnik 5 in britain. so so it's understandable why the nigerian government says you know. it's kind of going outside after that it got back in because our system here would be able to. ship that box and that particular brand in the right culture. or you know off the top for distribution but i think again if we look at it. and the sounds of equity and shortened that we have been of dubious to back this up people i don't think
