 Great to have you back on the breakfast here on plus TV Africa Now let's go a little bit back in history and share with you what happened on this day the 28th of July many years ago I'm going back to 1984 and good thing. We're currently witnessing the Tokyo Olympics but of course on this day in 1984 the 23rd Olympic Games opened in Los Angeles This of course started in 1996 I was the very first Olympic Games and since then there's been about 28 Olympic Games and About 23 Winter Olympics held, you know over time on this day in 1984 the 23rd one opened it marked the second time that Los Angeles had hosted the games the first one been in 1932 the official mascot was Sam the Olympic Eagle The 1984 Olympic Games sadly were boycotted by a total of 14 Eastern Bloc countries including the Soviet Union and East Germany There these were also the first summer Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Yuan Antonio Samaranch The 1984 Olympic Games were widely considered to be the most financially successful modern Olympic Games It at that time generated a profit of over 250 million dollars and was preceded by the 10-week-long adjunct Los Angeles Olympic Arts Festival And so good thing that we currently are You of course experience in the beauty of the Tokyo Olympics sadly. It's a first Olympic Games I believe or maybe not the first that has been held in a pandemic so it's a little different from the regular ones, but It's still a very very beautiful feeling seeing countries come together to enjoy themselves and play sports and compete With the very very best From their countries. So yes 1984 the 23rd Olympic Games took place in Los Angeles opened on this day in Los Angeles and now to something not very, you know exciting in 2002 there were Miners that were trapped in a Curric in a place called Curic actually they're called the Curic Curic I beg your pardon. Miners that were rescued after 72 hours being trapped in Pennsylvania this happened in 2002 it was a rescued that took place in Pennsylvania after they had been on the ground for 77 hours and I'll show with you from July 24th to July 28 And that is you know, maybe the longest time that you know They've probably been on the ground it happened after a disaster. They had tried to get into a particular Mine that had been abandoned and a disaster struck these miners were stuck there for the next four days the structural geology I'll share with you of the area caused a flooded mine of the Shallower Sagsman mine to be at a higher elevation than the active Curic mine With the mine portal entrances to Curic nearly underwater rescue operations started almost immediately and Ended four days later and none of the miners suffered from decompression sickness They were all transferred either by helicopter or by ambulance to hospitals the primary cause of the water inundation was the use of an Undated and on on certified mine map of the Harrison number two mine That's too much big English But anyway on this day these miners were all rescued and nine of them actually they were all rescued after 37 hours on the ground These stories make me always remember that you know at every time in Nigeria when disaster strikes We and I said yesterday morning that we don't seem to learn a lot from disasters We don't seem to change we don't seem to improve on our processes Once we find something to blame case closed in Nigeria once we find a person, you know that can be blamed That's the end we don't you know improve on the systems We don't improve on the processes, you know to prevent those things from happening and this you know I'm saying this now because of the Ibano supermarket fire some same thing. I said yesterday morning once we find a person to blame. That's the end of it There is no improvement On you know what must be done to prevent, you know this from happening again And also if this happens again, what are the processes that must take place to ensure faster or quicker response time and You know the ability to save lives and property. So imagine that we have nine miners You know trapped on the ground here in Nigeria. Do you know the Nigerians have fate? You know that there would be helicopter ambulances or there would be you know immediate medical response to get these people out of That position maybe not but anyway, that's what happened on this day in 2002 and also in 1984 the 23rd Olympic Games we're moving into our first discussion this morning. We have a punaboo In co-tarrier is a civil rights advocate joining us on a buja this morning And we're going to be talking with regards past the tunday bhakari and the Nigeria for Nigeria movement Not necessarily about past the bhakari now, but the idea of a movement And you know, the ones that we've had in the past do people still trust these movements What does this mean for the 2023 general elections? We'll get into that after this very very short break. Stay with us
