 The Senate has denied reports that 70 billion Naira located at the National Assembly in the recently passed 819 billion Naira supplementary appropriation bill was palliative for lawmakers. They also denied padding the supplementary budget. Senator Yemi Adaramo, who gave these clarifications, said the money is meant for facelift of the National Assembly and not for individual lawmakers. We'll be taking a look at this as our first hot topic this morning on the breakfast. In recent years, growing enthusiasm in technology on the continent, particularly among the youth, is bringing technology closer to places they are needed. However, the gap to be filled remains wide, largely on account of limited investment infrastructure and policies to drive growth. We'll be taking a look at this on the breakfast as our second hot topic. We'll be taking a look at headlines on some national dailies this morning as well, on off the press. Good morning, good to have you join us this morning on the breakfast. It is the technophile edition of the program and today we look at technology in a way that we do not look at it on any other day on the breakfast. I am Maureen Menno-Muisewe, glad to know that you are there. Okay, so the theme of the day is that AI might be the great equalizer. Nigeria, historically, lacks behind the West in terms of technology. Typically, the most groundbreaking technology takes years to make it to Nigeria and only after it becomes ubiquitous in the West could AI help us conceive ways to catch up to the West in tech. Once AI becomes a men's day in our daily lives, how might our unique perspective of the world culture and peculiar social needs inform how we use AI to solve problems? Think about this today as we give you the technophile edition of the breakfast today on a hot topic we'll be taking a deeper look on this issue of AI, artificial intelligence. Okay, so top trending one, Nigerian court awards 50 million narrow against arid air. A federal high court in Abuja has awarded 50 million narrow against arid air over a 2018 incident in which its passengers were locked inside an aircraft. Just as a maker and witty awarded the money in favor of the affected passengers, dismissing arid air's argument that the maltreatment of the passengers was due to its inability to land in Abuja. The incident occurred at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport. It was a flight, a 2018 flight from Port Haka to Abuja, but the flight was subsequently diverted to Kano because of an aircraft accident which led 40 passengers to sue the airline. And as a result, the pilot arrived in Kano with the passengers but did not allow them disembark from the aircraft. The airline has a history of maltreating its passengers. In April 2014, a video of passengers stuck on an arid airplane bound for New York went viral. The air conditioning system was not functional. And as a result, the passengers became agitated and angry. Some of the passengers reportedly fainted from the ensuing heat while some could be seen taking off their clothes. One of the affected passengers in the 2014 incident was a Nigerian celebrity, Uluba and Colleen Wellington, popularly known as Banki W. It was learned that there were delays in checking in leading to excruciating heat after the passengers boarded the aircraft. They were reportedly locked inside the hot aircraft for hours until the roads to protest. Irish Air is a Nigerian airline operating mainly from two hubs at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos and in Namdia Zikewe International Airport in Abuja. So there you have it. Some people will be smiling home very soon. Well, fire raises Lagos orphanage home and that's our second top trending. Seven children were rescued from that incident that occurred on Sunday after fire gutted a story building occupied by an orphanage home on Wali Madaro last street in the Aguda area of Lagos State.
