Consultant Iyke then opens the phone line to take in people’s opinion through calls.
Consultant Iyke began with the case of an elderly man who alleges to have worked with the ministry of social development and sports in Benue state Nigeria but was forcefully retired without being due for retirement. According to him, there was a rationalization exercise in the office to retire those due for retirement but he was unfortunately included in the list as he was only (25) years of age at the time working as the youth development assistant (III). Adding that although he and some others were reinstated for five months, still they got dismissed from service without the retirement benefits. Giving details of what happened to portray a case of administrative injustice. Consultant Iyke then calls the Benue state head of service on air and he picked but says he’s on transit and request to be called back the following day so Consultant Iyke suspends this man’s case until the following day to hear from the head of state in Benue state first then he opens the phone lines to briefly take calls and contributions over this case. In regards to this elderly man’s complaint, Mr. Lawal (the brekete family ambassador of Lagos state) offers him 20,000 naira financial support.

She says the police force have given her family 150,000 naira for burial ever since the incidence and withdrew the deceased money worth 500,000 naira and handed over to them saying after that, the police is yet to give the family any death benefit neither have they divulge the cause of his death to the family. Consultant Iyke then calls a top officer on air who responds positively asking to see this widow and then opens the phone lines to take in calls as many call in to give their contribution and also lay their complaint. Mr Lawal (the brekete family ambassador from Lagos) still contributes 20,000 naira to a lady who calls in to solicit for help over the state of her health.
