 The future of Nigerian theatre and the power of telling the Nigerian stories. Safety in the electronic payment system and the homegrown solutions. Those are the two major topics that we'll be looking at this morning on the breakfast. And of course we'll have off the press where we look at the headlines that made it to the front pages of Salafah National Dailies. A very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. My name is Nyam Gul Agadji. Today is Tech Tuesday and so we'll be looking at something tech. And not that we're going to forget about every other thing that will add value to our lives. So we are going to be taking so many things to discuss this morning. And we hope that you're going to have a very wonderful time watching the program. As usual we begin with the things that really, really put our interest in the course of the last 24 hours. We call that top trending. Supreme Court reserve judgment on appeal filed by PDP and LP against Tino Buu is the first thing we're looking at. The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal by Atiku Abu Bakar and the People's Democratic Party. PDP against the September 6th judgment of the presidential election petition court, which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tino Buu in the presidential election. It also reserved judgment in the appeal by the Labor Party and dismissed the Allied People's Movement, APM. Now a seven member panel of the court led by the Justice Nyam Okoro announced this on Monday after council to parties adopted their briefs of argument and made final submission. The Supreme Court also took arguments from lawyers to parties on the motion filed by Atiku to supply fresh evidence on forged documents. Council to Atiku Abu Bakar, Chris Uche, urged the court to grant the motion and allow their appeal, grant the prayers sought and disqualify Tino Buu. And council to the respondents that is Abu Bakar Mahmood for the Independent National Electoral Commission, Ainek Wole or Lanipwek for President Tino Buu and Akin or Lujimi for the All Progressive Congress, APC urged the court to dismiss both the motion and appeal for lacking in merit. But the court rose briefly then, reconvened to hear their appeal by the Allied People's Movement, APM. The party was urged to withdraw its appeal as it did not have prayers for determination. Now the council for APM, Machu Koume, subsequently withdrew his appeal. The respondents did not object to the withdrawal and the apex court thereafter dismissed their appeal. Yesterday a lot of Nigerians were praying that the judgment in the UK should be in favor of Nigeria because we didn't have 11 billion dollars to pay. So we have this headline saying judgment declares or judge rather declares Nigeria winner of 11 billion dollar arbitration case against P&ID 13 years after failed gas processing plant deal in Calabar. This judge is in the UK and his name is Justice Robin Knowles of the commercial courts of England and Wales and he ruled in favor of or the judge ruled in favor of Nigeria in the enforcement of the 11 billion dollars arbitration award against process and industrial development that is P&ID limited. In January 2010 the P&ID signed a gas supply and processing agreement, GSPA with Nigeria to develop a processing plant in Calabar, the cross river state capital, but the deal never materialized. The company went to court seeking a 5.96 billion dollar compensation for Nigeria with arbitration proceedings against the country at the London court of international arbitration. In January 2017 the arbitration said Nigeria breached a contract and ordered the country to pay the company 6.6 billion dollars with interest starting from May 2013 before the verdict. Before the verdict the interest fixed at 7% that is 1 million Naira had 1 million dollars accumulated over 11 billion dollars. Nigeria responding filed an appeal against the enforcement of their award and the court granted this relief sought by the country in September 2020. The lawyers for Nigeria argued that there was enough evidence that the contract and the arbitration award were procured through fraudulent means and the Nigerian defense council urged the court to set the arbitration award aside as some individuals in the case were being tried for money laundering and graft. In this landmark ruling on Monday October 23 that was yesterday Justice Knowles not only agreed that arbitration awards were obtained by fraud but also that the manner that they were procured were contrary to public policy and we do hope to bring you an expert that will be X-raying this particular topic tomorrow. A gentleman of the law will be here tomorrow to talk about this case and how it was able to go the Nigerian way and many other legal matters that we may want to know about that surround this case. And we also have Naira dollar rate. The political class has to get together and realize that their country is about to die. That is according to Pat Utomi, Professor Pat Utomi who wants that the Tinnobu administration should take caution in how they run the current decline in the value of the Naira. Since the announcement of the removal of subsidy by the president of Nigeria Bola Akme Tinnobu on May 29, the Naira has lost 40% of its value in the exchange market causing more hardship for Nigerians. And as at press time the Naira was going for 1,150 Naira to 1,200 Naira to one US dollar on the black market. So Professor Utomi says if the president as well as the National Assembly do not focus on how to save the nation, Nigeria will die. And if Tinnobu does not recognize these according to Utomi, Nigeria will die. And we will end the Trump trending this morning with an unfortunate event. One person has died while four others sustained injury in a boat accident in a dough state. That accident occurred in the Geli Geli River in Ovia, Southwest local government area of a dough state. And according to the Nigerian Tribune sources in the area who spoke to journalists however claimed that about seven persons died in a boat mishap. It was gathered that the boat accident happened on Thursday October 19, 2023 when a passenger boat collided with an oil barge belonging to one of the multinational companies operating in the area. The oil barge was said to have run out of fuel and was waiting to be refueled when the oncoming passengers boat ramped into eight killing one person and injuring four others. The official record is one person died, but the unofficial record say more than one. In fact at least seven people died. It was further gathered that the boat was conveying passengers, mostly market women from the Ofunama community who were returning from the market. And following the quick response from the Marine Police of a dough state police command stationed in the area a major tragedy was averted as some of most of the victims were rescued and rescued alive. As you remember of the staff of the oil company who did not want his name to go into print confirmed the incident adding that the company was meeting on the issue. We can only say may the souls of the people that were lost in that miss have rest in peace and the families and friends of the people have the portitude to bear the loss. That's for short trending. We'll soon be going to the press to see what we can lift off the press. Right now let's take a very short break. We'll be back in a minute. Stay with us.
