Nigeria Passenger Plane Crashes
A plane on its way to the Nigerian capital Abuja has crashed in Oyo state north of Lagos with at least 114 people on board, police have said.  "Our men have spotted the wreckage of the crash," Lagos police spokesman Bode Ojajuni told the Associated Press.  The pilot sent a distress signal just after taking off from Lagos in stormy weather, state television reported. It is not known if there were any survivors. Several senior officials are said to have been on the flight.

Nobody survived.

The names are being read on AIT

Oh my God!
Only 50 souls survived?
that's why anytime I'm travelling by air, I pray until I land safely.

Just heard CNN African chirf correspondent..Jeff Koinange said that more than half of the passengers survived. I
He said plane crash 4hrs after take off at d countryside...a remote village between oyo state and kwara called KIISHI
Helicopters and rescue missions are at the crash site. Relatives of the passengers r at the Murtala airport causing panic. It's affected airport schedules as expected.

Though it's still safer to fly than it is to drive yourself...

May God have mercy on us in Nigeria, this calls for national prayer. CNN is still saying 50people survived. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the family of the dead

@pkrix and Greatpeter.

Let's just keep the prayer flame on always wherever we are going and whenever.

I had a nasty experience on the 10th of last month on my way from Warri with an Aero Contractor plane. Abeg na prayer o, though in the night of that Saturday, by 1am, the Spirit woke me up to pray and make sure I fast in the morning, which I did.
I broke my fast in the plane by 2.30pm, was in prayer mood till we got to Lagos airspace and the pilot announcing that we should fasten our seat belts. Suddenly it happened, the plane that was flying @ about 28000ft altitude dropped like that to 16000ft, we were like that until the pilot calmed us down and later said we can't land in Lagos until the next 10mins, we had to remain like that praying till we finally landed 15mins later.

Flight of 45mins ended up being 1hr 15mins

Seun are you very sure upto 50 people survived in the crash. And moreso has the Black Box been recovered at the seen of the incident.

More than half survived - CNN news
50 people survived - AIT news (i don't believe that though..why rounded figure?)
