Image123: It should be easier, logical and more honorable to provide evidence than all these tales.
What other general evidence of worse looting by Emilokan and APC is needed than the fact that they are borrowing far more than PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians who gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and high employment productivity that made it difficult for criminals to get idle people to recruit for their nefarious activities

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.
It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.
Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.
It has been fixed already with the Mu-Mu ticket indirectly enabled by naive but noisy Obidient tribalistic voters.
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
saintopus: The other day, Riwane Bismark said the naira was undervalued to about 11% .
He gave the actual value to N1220 to the dollar.
That Rewane is clueless about this matter.
Our president knows better and even knows best.
The actual value is N300 to a dollar already and it will be N200/$1 by May 2027.
Stop believeing olodo technoRats labouring in vain to ridicule the Lagos magician, who alone ruined the state into a waterless, smelly shithole in 27 years of TAx drive for budget and revenue growth 100 times.
anonimi: World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate
April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.
Surely APC's balablu monster is a brilliant strategist un;like the korofo soldier he made president in 2015, four years after calling him expired.
Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to ensure that the naira would be equal to the dollar in value if voted into office.
NAN reports that Buhari said this on Monday during the south-east presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation’s economy,” he said.
He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected.
Putindbutt: Wailers and Bitter people will come here to say it was the Venezuela oil tanker that Trump released that caused naira appreciation.
Only wailers and bitter people will think that way truly, as you said.
A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC hailers will be hallucinating that the rate is actually N300/$1, because their tingod has used the $84 billion subsidy savings and the SPV Afreximbank $3.3 billion loan to defend the currency as he promised.
Hedonisco: This is kindergarten analysis. If you understand the demography of Peter Obi's support base, you wouldn't engage in such puerile postulation.
If Peter Obi is not on the ballot, then obidients are not interested. His political currency is not transferable.
What of his governance currency?
Is that transferable, since it is not much different from the governance currency of APC leaders looters
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

More like you are busy doing propaganda stuff of balablu incoherence.
Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.
It’s nice that Atiku’s aide is the one leading the fact based attack on clueless Tinubu and his corrupt APC leadership.
This is an excellent strategy to make sure only scripted statements are made to the public by the Atiku campaign. No impromptu, off the cuff remarks that could be taken out of context and misinterpreted.
gabbytabby: They should send their petition with all their evidence not social media harassment.
People are too busy.
People like you are too busy queuing for free daily bread and risking death in stampedes because APC failed to create promised jobs to earn a living in dignity?
Omooba77: The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
The National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) says it is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of over 60 lives in Oyo, Anambra, and Abuja during recent palliative distribution stampedes.
The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
“While we commend the government's effort to alleviate the plight of vulnerable citizens through palliatives, it is evident that these measures have been marred by inadequate planning, poor coordination, and lack of accountability,” it said.
According to the group, the chaotic scenes that led to the fatal incidents are an “indictment of the systemic failure to address the root causes of hunger and poverty”.
The group noted that rising hunger in Nigeria is a national emergency that demands urgent action.
“Failure to act decisively will deepen the crisis, with devastating social, economic, and political consequences,” it said.
“We mourn with the families of the deceased and demand that the government ensures accountability for this avoidable tragedy. Hunger should never be a death sentence in a country blessed with abundant resources.”
“It is time to rise to the challenge of ensuring that every Nigerian can live with dignity, free from the scourge of poverty and hunger,” it added.
Therefore, the association called on all levels of government to urgently prioritize sustainable solutions to the hunger crisis.
It said, “Palliatives must reach the intended beneficiaries without endangering lives. Transparent and well-organised systems, with the involvement of community leaders and credible NGOs, should be put in place to avoid chaotic distributions.
“Beyond temporary relief measures, the government must develop long-term strategies to enhance food production, support local farmers, and stabilize food prices.
“Programmes aimed at addressing the needs of the most vulnerable must be scaled up. Access to affordable healthcare, education, and social safety nets is critical to lifting millions out of poverty.
“Policies that create jobs and enhance income-generating opportunities should be fast-tracked to reduce dependency on palliatives.”
The association noted that two of its chapters in Edo State (Area 3) recently had successful palliative programmes, during which over 2,000 underprivileged persons were fed.
It added that one of the key components of the programme was orderliness.
Difrent: Una don forget say Pbat was also with y'all when you were using stuffs like this to fight GEJ.
I recall it was Emir Sanusi as CBN governor that was always raising alarm of missing money often billions of dollars. Now opposition wan use the same tactics on him but they will be shocked
Soludo also claimed that trillions were missing. Why did you not mention his name
What greater shock is there for Nigerians beyond the extreme poverty shege that has worsened since Tinubu got his own turn to continue APC cluelessness three years ago?
What is the price of petrol now? What was it in January 2023 when Tinubu promised to crash it?
How much is the subsidy Nigerians are being forced to pay now for the massive corruption in APC’s oil sector
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
Looks like he is far behind the Humpty Dumpty in Aso Rock who keeps falling down yakata everywhere he goes, just as he has made Nigeria fall down further into APC extreme poverty shege that his expired Buhari started 11 years ago.
Is Tinubu not bribing politicians to create a one party system of state control and capture for his reelection and 3rd term agenda to be life president.
Bribing politicians from the extra level tax burden on the public, which is how he has kept control over Lagosians for 27 years in quintessential dictatorship.
NaijaRoyalty: …Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money
However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”
Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.
He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.
Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.
nairalanda1: PDP privatised, yes (that's why we have a telecoms sector anyway), but on electric power, they privatised, and then brought in price controls , which laid the foundation for the continued suffering the power sector still has (apc was and is just as silly to keep them).
PDP was also not bold enough to remove fuel subsides, especially in 2012 when they should have told off the ojtoa crowd and done it.
And PDP still ran a national cake economy. There is no naitonal cake, that;s what I have been trying to tell nigerians , regardless of who they support, here. But they no hear.
In view of all you said above, did PDP deregulation and privatisation policies lead to BETTER diversification of the economy than APC palliative sharing progreThief policies
saintbillion: The worst list ain't complete. Where's the almighty failed naira?
>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
stevio: The Naira should be among the best performing currencies
>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Is that because our president has been smart enough to use the $84 billion and the $3.3 billion SPV Afreximbank loan to defend the Naira as promised for his short term goal of N300/$1
nairalanda1: All the above countries that have good performing currencies...are diviersifed industrial economies that export manufactured goods and services.
Yes, they also have corruption issues, specially russia. But once your economy is dependent on manufactured goods and services, you are okay.
But APC and ADC Bots don't want to hear. neither do pdp, or tinubites, or obi supporters, or atiku supporters. They all love oyel money
There is bad, worse and worst.
There is also good, better and best.
PDP privatisation and deregulation prosperity politicians are BETTER in making our country dependent on manufactured goods and services.
Putindbutt: Oya tell us the infrastructural projects they condemned while in opposition?..
We are waiting.
What are infrastructural projects to an extreme poverty, jobless person?
Will he use pictures of the infrastructure as legal tender Naira to pay for goods and services that have risen in price beyond his reach?
Did APC not condemn petrol price REDUCTION in 2015, just to play politics with our wellbeing, like Fayemi confessed about the 2012 fuel deregulation protest that was led by 2011 expired Buhari's running mate, despite claiming to be a god of men.

chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
Kemetian: This is the same PDP that wants to come back and rule, in the name of ADC or whatever stupid name they are calling themselves now with Atiku and Obi.
Atiku and his PDP fellows are LESS corrupt than Tinubu and his A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC fellows.
If APC leaders looters are not more corrupt, then why are they borrowing more than PDP administrations borrowed when fuel was cheaper

anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
Kukutente23: Seunmsg I guess you'll also support cut in salaries of civil servants to ensure that this reforms by our great leader succeed as The Economist article is recommending. All hands must be on deck and no sacrifice should be too much to ensure that Nigeria returns to greatness.
Meanwhile this article summarily dismisses Tinubu's ability to match OBJ's successes in its final line. It seems to say they are unsure if his direction compared with OBJ's tenure. It is ironic that the Op posted the article thinking it's a positive one of the govt he supports
Many thanks for sharing the extract from the OP.
It's quite dubious that the article advises reduction in salaries while going on to lament reduction in purchasing power.
What is remarkabel is how it validates the deregulation and privatisation foundation for PDP 16 years of widespread prosperity, laid by Atiku's business mindset unlike the peasant agriculture mindset of the Ota farmer.
Buying food has been a particular struggle, not just for the 42% of Nigerians who live on less than $3 a day, the World Bank’s definition of extreme poverty, but also for the urban middle class. The price of a kilo of rice has nearly quadrupled since May 2023, while wages have barely budged. Even though inflation is now falling, many still struggle to afford enough to eat.
Mr Obasanjo’s reforms in the early 2000s aimed to increase economic dynamism and improve people’s lives by attracting fresh capital investment into newly privatised sectors. By the end of his second term in 2007, domestic companies were worth $85bn, up from $3bn in 1999.

anonimi: ‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘
A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.
According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.
The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.
Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”
“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.
Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.
“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.
“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.
Jakumo: It is mind-boggling to see that Western women continue to use that deadly wasting drug Ozempic, even AFTER they see examples of how it reduces its victims to skeletons. The side effects of Ozempic, particularly on a woman's face, are extremely ugly to behold.
Another sad example of Ozempic abuse is the wife of Harry, that former Royal Family member who went rogue and now lives in California. That woman called Migraine USED to be somewhat presentable, with some feminine curvature on her frame, but now Mrs. Migraine has morphed into SKELETOR, the Hunchback of Montecito.

Why do you want military officers to take away your ability to make inputs into how your local, state and federal governments are run?
Did we not have recycled military coupists as civilian presidents for 16 of the first 24 years of our return to democracy? What improvement did they make?
What improvements did our country experience under military regimes since January 1966 compared to civilian democracy?
Why choose to return to the Pakistani path of military dictators instead of continuing in the Indian path of democracy? Why should we be so hopeless and helpless, instead of increasing our participation in the political and governance processes including advocacy for our country to better look like what we want it to look like

wediehere1: Let’s beg these people to stop bringing their bad behavior to southwest
Can there be a worse behaviour than putting 200 million Nigerians into extreme poverty shege, fraudulently packaged as APC positive change by Tinubu, using his 2011 expired Buhari?
What can be worse behaviour than this? Definitely not this behaviour in the OP.
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”
Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

We must stay the course so has to ensure this golden years are not derailed.
To continue till 2027? Or you meant to continue BEYOND 2027?
What better future have Lagosians seen in 27 years of Tinubu’s lootocracy TAX master plan that has grown the state budget 100 times since 1999 but failed to deliver similar outcomes in government services and public utilities?
What better future are you expecting from someone who has failed to deliver on his own short term goal of N300/$1 despite borrowing $3.3 billion SPV Afreximbank loan to defend the Naira, with future oil revenues
Obaofaba: Poor man, how much do you have that people are calling to beg you for?
Unless you are being economical with the truth, things are getting better and the economy is stable.
Tinubu will win the next election because of his policies.
Do you mean his policies that have made life worse for Nigerians instead of the relief he promised
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
