pres-elect:
Am I missing something? What is all this talk about boko haram? I thought it was a chopper crash? How did BH get into the picture?

The reflections of the thinking of poor thinkers is how. Conclude before you investigate is their motto.

FG confirms death of Azazi, , Yakowa and their aides, Dauda ,Warrant Officer and pilots, Mohammed Daba and Lt Sowole.

PDP: POWER TO KILL

tpapi: Dos of u puttin d blame on bad roads r not so smart,no matTer ow superb d road network is dos top politicians wil stil fly by air

I do not agree with you. Most people do not like flying and only do so out of need. Usually due to time constraint, bad roads, and safety from kidnappers and armed robbers. These people do not fly chopper from Maryland to Lekki every time the come to Lagos, even though the helipads are available.

President Jonathan has ordered an investigation into the cause(s) of the Bayelsa crash, says Abati

Ibime:

You wouldn't know because it is never reported in the papers.

There have been SEVERAL ATTEMPTS on Jonathan's life already, and members of his security team have already taken bullets defending his life.

Which attempt on Jonathan's life? When and how come we didn't hear of any such attempt

33 left,I dead,1 unconscious,1 hospitalizEd in india but rumours have it dat he is dean governor sullivan chime of enugu state so who will be next!!!

Clerverly: I just hope is true. The only disappointment would be if Jonathan was not among the victims

He describes the sudden loss of these distinguished Nigerians as extremely painful to the entire nation.

Azazi said PDP is Boko Haram and next he dies

What next should we expect from this PDP govt

Why are we only talking about Yakowa and Azazi, what about other peolpe that were in the air craft?

Discordia: Its amusing how some dumb people here are trying to say they were killed by Muslims.
Are you Sad and angry because they died OR..
Are you Sad and angry because the governor will apparently be replaced by his MUSLIM Deputy?

femi2131: (Enugu and Calabar) are nowhere to be found at the moment. Bringing the total number of governors serving but out of office to four. What is happening to the ruling class?

Calabar governor is still in India and looking for a match for his very bad kidney. And till now, no match yet. He needs kidney replacement urgently.
