00:09:41idiot can just read" lines and memorize
00:09:44lines, you do not memorize lines, you learn
00:09:48lines. we had, we
00:09:52had some, we're trying to
00:09:55um deal with piracy,
00:09:59and to do that, we try to close
00:10:03the loop holes, at least that was what
00:10:07we thought we were doing, there were some of our
00:10:10members, decided that it was not going to
00:10:14happen, the marketers decided that it was not, they
00:10:18didn't understand that we wanted it for the benefit of
00:10:22all of us, that the market. is big enough for all of us
00:10:26and there was no problem,
00:10:30as far as they were concerned, it was war, so they
00:10:34went to all the GM's, they ignored the
00:10:38headquarters, they went to the GMs of all those TV
00:10:41stations, threaten, threaten
00:10:44them, not not
00:10:48advertising with them and campaign against them,
00:10:51you know, and uh, then they offered them, they
00:10:55offered them money, addition to that,
00:10:59they actually uh took all those things and
00:11:03sent them back to Lagos. I have not seen the

00:11:52again and then we talk. until we talk and have an
00:11:56agreement, we must talk, patience is very,
00:12:00peace is very expensive, it asks for quite a
00:12:04lot, we are learning, we are an impatient
00:12:07people, but we're learning and we are
