On a motorbike and if she does, she looks fit to be the 1st African Women to do the hello. Im christine linda. Its good to have you company. If you look to nigeria in these days, you see a nation that is troubled country that seems to be suffering. A twin coast prosperity has deserted it and the citizens are not safe as they go about whatever business they may still have of security. And the means to make an honest living. Those with key promises made by prison and bullet ask me to boot on the campaign trail before he took office last me less than a year later, his administration is overseeing and economy thats in taxes. And the currency that has split against the dollar, pushing the costs of the impulse, up of the 1. 00 thing that julia has planned to of is the so called bend. Its criminal kidnappers by any other name. They struck a game last week. Seizing almost 300 children and stuff in the town of queencreek in the trouble. No, no, for the release of their captives. Theyre demanding 1000000000 niagara. The greek as classrooms usually full of children learning now a deserted reminder, fia and tara classes with just about to start in this primary and secondary school for a 1000 students, then held broke loose. This boy recounts my son and then just to get those, shes got the bandits came a note to cycles before they started shouting and shooting, looking at so the students ran away into a nearby bush. You see, i love, i love with done this. I like how what do i need doing while i was running one of the bandits front of me . I could dungeon because he was following me on a bike fishing. I was running and looking for light to escape and i couldnt escape across the road. I ran into the bush and came back home from the i mean those father is in shock. His 2nd son, a 15 year old, was still missing one of hundreds who did not manage to escape either. This mother has 5 or for 6 children among those. Abducted we dont know what to do, but we believe in god. We have no security. No. So just no police to protect the school. Yeah, the little guy didnt look on the objection as one of the worst School Kidnapping since the 2 book goals and born on state 10 years ago stunned the world up until now. Many of the 2 book goals still have not been found that jerry is faced with a kid not being crisis. Its not in the mess. Directions from schools, but buses and trains as well as individuals that are targeted from july 2022 to july 2023. At least 3620 people web deck to to much area. Since presidency new book took Office Directions have gone up. Despite his pledge to make security a top priority and invest more and personnel training equipment and pay, none of that made any difference inquiry when authorities finally arrived. They were met with anger and frustration. Please come and help us do leave us. Please help us. Where is the president . Where is the government . The government has denounced the special interventions quoted for katrina state by the end of april. 10 years after the 2 book goes with seas plunging nigeria into its kidnapping crisis. To get the insides into the security situation in nigeria, weve invited num deal by c onto the program. He is a Senior Advisor on nigeria for the International Crisis group, and he joins me from lagos. Welcome to dw, and use that with him. Mr. Obaskey, i want to begin by asking you about what the forward sees, can do to ensure that the children who were kidnapped in cardona brought home the home 3 brother options. Um, the 1st of calls is to conduct a military operation to attract the rescue of the children. But of course we all know that that would be quite as that us because the im groups that came up last week, you know, use the truth. And i said human shields and we couldnt kill huge casualties. Lets think on the auction is the one that the government has always preferred, which is the liberal sheets. And then because sessions to be kidding up us in order to free the children and how the north risks to the children. But at the same time it fits into continuing infinity, which we have seen over time. But the federal from which we are considering reductions being consumed up very strongly by, by being government use, it does keep pressure on the time from somebody ive talked to us to keep pressure on them. Limited temperatures on with that kind of move um, sucked in psychological pressure using ministry and assets on so on until you we have them done and then theyre ready to make a good negotiation and then remove the children. I think those are the options that are available now. Otherwise the government is made difficult situation understood um when when vocal around kidnapped the 2 books school goals in 2014, there was a geologist. Most of the groups said that it was opposed to girls receiving wisdom education, and we know that many of the goals were forced to marry their taxes today. So court band, its all carrying out these attacks various on groups. Has this now evolved to just becoming a Business Model without the hottest ideology . Are absolutely correct. I think over time, let me look you up to your website. They keep not things that have been attributed as part of the charges to the company and helps you know, receive that to the background people. Well, i mean, the number of the kidnapping incidents and the number of them and them, that victims have been by criminal, lovely addition to that. We call them bounded some of them always, all by you know, just to optimize guns in other parts of the country. So at this point the grid consent is look really so much about the, the types of groups and the last few, they are still active. They still dont have drops people, but the vast majority, i think we could say a bit about him. Its the 90 percent and outcome, i mean the bye bye bye. Find these groups and all that coming out of positions around the country. So its no model in criminal activities that energy. How do you start to be . Part of the problem is that these groups are able to access guns and it looks like easily. So how is this happening that im groups have access to, to this kind of weaponry and the resources they need to be able to carry out these attacks as the times have come from them. The cher republic from bass, from the hill um some sauces. Trace them right back to the collapse of the government media and they live florida that goes into this, the how come this a hell of, you know, from that point. But then basically the nothing bought as of the country. But during these, every public, i mean a plumbing the parents say a lot of times and all the legal merchandise coming to this area. So it literally comes out coming from outside. But theres also a lot of local fabrication, but its taking place. So they make big numbers that constantly are building up the optimal. But im just trying to cover all the kid loving some nic and lot of money that provides resources from dental give once more. So when you say revolving door, i need it continuously feeding process. Thatd be that extra money that starts money. Basically they be the big exec drums and then that helps them to build up, you know, increasingly possible. And also the points that be able to bring the administrative craft, which we have seen in recent times. Mr. Obaskey looking in from the outside, it seems as the boy is, hes a niger and have lost control of the security situation. Would that be your assessment . The thing that the country of the security institution, but what were seeing now, hes not a mug demo. Strict. It is a result to do with the problem in fair respects. First of all, we dont see the will, but doesnt seem to be the will to deal with a problem besides with you once in a while, you know how to read could not think of the author just incident appropriate president directories much and for that to the military, you know, to, to, to go out to the kids and that kind of thing, but so, you know, thats that with up. But what do you find that the local wheel . There is a level about what to do to solve the some of the long term babies. I mean there is money who has the comprehensive plan that details. What has to be done about, you know, kind of to correspond as not kind of took responses. The room that we filled up in the room, a stable minutes on so on, in a concert. And we, each month, at the moment, im in the 5th dimension and the result is, you know, having to be not flights will be the number of trophies to better small. The number of bodies is deficient and equipment wise. They also very locking, especially with technology, the logistics on communications that they need to go up. That means Group Something fine. I mean, after each instant, there is normal attempts to determine if whats to go after these groups and bring them to justice. So thats a rational contingency, you know, that continues on some that gives the impression that the government is not quite serious about dealing with this problem. I mean, this is like the general and shifting person, imaginative. All right, that is done deal by say Senior Adviser on nigeria for the International Crisis group. Thank you for your insights. It a thank you very much. My pleasure. Your watching date of the news . Africa still to come . The women who got a 2nd lease on life and is making the most of that. Ill be talking to a nigerian seen a bite, a joy on her plan to go from nairobi to lagos on a motorbike. The 1st to this, the 13th african games are underway in government. Some disciplines they give athletes the chance to secure qualifications to this is and then picks and parents. So unlike the f one that took place in neighboring quote, the for the african games with 54 nations competing has a spots and much needed euphoria and cross the whole detention. Isaac, ology in across, has small gun is likely team has home advantage of this. He has africa games in a cry. So the money brought here is 1. 00 of them is leaving a child who dream of competes and the highest levels of the supports that the 2 is african games gives him a shot after winning meadows for gunner crowd. But theres a big goal of reaching the olympics games in july. He says it will be great to have like a guardian to be on the podium. That is the fast boys mean on to put you on here. Then this tools that will lympics. So we are looking for it, like i said, to collectively get in the middle for their country. I actually saw 54 nations of fighting for glory, a 3 to 9 different disciplines or the games. Each of them i only qualifies its ready site and go for the at least competing to fulfill the sporting dreams. But it hasnt all been going smoothly for the organizes. The leads to the completion of manuals and disputes between state quote is false. The games to be held this year instead of last august. These issues hop largely or by shadow the interest around the games locally. Probably 60 ahead of the games have, you know, not many streets and the carpet tiles have billboards for more than the veins thats mix following the games. Struggle for some i do know rides and there was nothing, not fundraising. So we didnt get to actually get what, whats going on. People are not here. Number 3, i see the billboards and see the post at the moment. What is actually going on . What are we doing when, when we talk about games, how many games that we play . And i think if im using 200 a bit, no for me. Organize is bloomed to low in foods, yazzy uncles each and financial difficulties. They fully realized not as expected for so many readings at a time that was supposed to peach in terms of branding, in terms of obesity, coverage sets in and brought a lot of financial challenges. And so admittedly, they fully a husband reach the present to that. We all expect the goodness banes 195000000. 00 on infrastructure for the games. And the fees are funny. Comic crises and questions i know being asked about the impacts of hosting the games on ordinary citizens. And i am now joined by my colleague load id. I think we from dw sports is good to have you at the big table. Let it, i want to begin by asking you why all the africa games not getting some of that attention to what the f con told him. And for example, got the african games are no longer as popular as they used to be. Many of the continents top after that some do not participates in it because the professionals overseas and or like ask one way you have the top from but thats come back home to fly, to fly to the countries the for both. And the mental desk on games is on, on that trying to championship and nobody really too many people dont really care about the on the twentys. And also it is not only a few uh, uh, events, uh, qualifying events for the lengthy games. You know, so the, the top populates will market that dont go to the african games anymore unfortunately. So these are some of the easiest, but also you find that you dont even have International Media broadcast partnership. You know, so the games only being broadcast locally under the national tv. And so in the International Coverage of it, these rise really low. So if youre outside of gone, its really hot. You actually be able to watch the games to do the game. Select a big sponsor when theres no um, media coverage, then sponsors may not see mileage that it can get, you know, so because they, people can hardly watch it in any other part of the continental, you know. So and then like i said previously when your top box and its on the continent, i know the, the, i know see eyes on the jump in shape. So it goes by without so much of traction instruction. And then the sponsor is kind of pulled back in being part of it, which is the, whats the organizations been like, uh, the host donna how, how is the games progressing . Gonna build to a new uh, sports facilities, the universal gun. Uh, supposed to do me legged and a bunch of them on sports into which is on Indoor Sports facility for the games of cost more than 200000000. 00 to renew reduce the end of the room over doing this. So im kind of hostels for 4 oclock thats, you know, so in terms of organization, pretty good. Ive spoken to a few generalist one ground and they said delighted. But then a few days ago, light went off the football match and went off with ya. So it showed perhaps lack of prepared vision or lack of from, with organization on the ground. But generally people say its, its a, its a good game. So, so, i mean, you mentioned 200000000. 00 is what kind of security made a big investment. Typically countries, but to host these tournaments because of the benefits that they stand to gain, i mean a is going to really going to benefit from, from this Huge Investment that theyve made. Gunner, weve been issued from splits facilities. The news with facilities that is on will not be available for young gaskets to grow in gonna but then long term. I mean, also during these games you have lots of people coming in for 1005000 documents for many deal stand hotels and media and visitors are saying what was in the hotels, you know, so theyll be hotel costs, revenue from food and all these things. But on the longer own menu of countries have no really odd um uh, benefits long term benefits from you as it contains and fold down. Uh, also struggling on to peach and, and um, to make the middle is digits are leading. So who knows . Yeah, its really a good one for them. Well thats we will leave it for now. The last day did we from dw sports . Thank you. Choose next to it by to joy, who has big plans. She wants to be the 1st african woman to ride a motorbike from mom bus the in kenya to lagos in nigeria. Her motivation stems from her desire to live life, to the fullest.
