OMG

I was still praising him for the Access Bank Marathon idea and how strategic it is today.
Omo! If only the amount of money and influence a person have could save, then someone like him will never die.

Let them that live, live unto the one that died for them, so that when they sleep, they may be awake once again.
I am terribly sad about this news.

I guess the organiser must've withhold this information since morning knowing it would be so hard to turn people away just few hours to the race (most especially the Africans that flew in all the way from their respective countries). This is sad, a big tragedy for the country, the family and to the corporate world. Sad to say goodbye.

They were going to watch super bowl according to news reports....superbowl can't be in a remote location

Of course, SUPERBOWL can't be in a remote location but what you should consider is how close the nearest airport/train or ferry terminals are to the area and how crowdy everything would be at that moment with thousands coming around to watch the same game. A rich dude would never want to subject himself to such strenous situation especially when there's a less problematic option he can afford.

I don't like that place, not even for the weird desert all around. Crashes in cali-vegas route is common, dunno why. I remember in 2019 on arrival in Los Angeles. As soon as I left the Tom Bradley airport, still on my way to the hotel at inglewood area, a small jet crashed into a building, killing all on board and those in the building it crashed into. I remember Briant's tragic end...that lakers' star in his copter with family members some years back
I should think rescuers made it there first before the vulture goes where the carcass is! Sad occurrence.

Fly commercial from distance of Ikorodu to Lekki? Why do you think they fly helis? Its for short trip journeys

Then rent a luxury bus or taxi .

Why must you enter a helicopter in which you don't know who serviced it, who may be targeting you, etc, etc, especially in a racist country like America where blacks are oppressed and discriminated against?

You don't do that. And it is because you people don't research these countries and have been brainwashed to love and adore the same whites who enslaved, raped and colonised your ancestors, that you always end up being so vulnerable to their schemes.

If Wigwe had spent even ONE DAY of his life studying the history of blacks in America, and the civil rights movement led by the assassinated Malcolm X and the assassinated Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, the thousands of lynchings of black people right up till the 1980s just for being black, he would never have entered that helicopter, as an African billionaire.

He would have rented a big luxury bus or caravan and travelled with his family.

Hmm... So many big men have become poor by his death. Most of these banks helped the politicians to further nail this country in a coffin... After death is judgment!!!!!
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Bukola Saraki and Erastus Akingbola must have the news.
Re: Herbert Wigwe Dies In Helicopter Crash In California by Angelfrost(m): 9:22pm On Feb 10
Shouldn't there be a public service announcement that people should avoid flying in helicopters in the U.S?!!

It's obvious they have all been programmed mysteriously to crash.

It's the way we structure our businesses, that makes them hardly outlive the owners. When businesses are too dependent on the owners that's what happens. It can be so bad that when Oga is not around, staff cannot get their salaries because no one else can sign the cheques.
Glo- it isi killia!

Everything must involved racism to consipiracy theorist regardless of the fact that there are many wealthy black Americans with private jets and helicopter access. The guy was not as rich as some of the many wealthy Blacks, Asians and Hispanic folks in America, how come these people are still breathing?

That is expected because:
1. The University is new and just about taking off.

2. The vision is always with the founder who presumably has an idea of what he wants and the goals he has his eyes fixed on.
Not so. There is something known as University Brief. Just executing the Brief faithfully will realise the vision. Money is not a problem. I trust he has good Lawyers to look after his Estate.

It is VERY different if you were born there, live there and know and trust certain people you would have known for decades, etc.

But as an African billionaire coming from Nigeria to flex, and you just look online and choose any nice looking helicopter hire company, and then use them, you are putting your life at risk, because America is a country FILLED with hundreds of millions of white racists for whom black means 'poor and broke' by virtue of the propaganda they're raised with, and if you come with a different level, many will hate and resent you for it, and look to 'put you in your place'.

You can keep worshiping them. Wigwe is gone because he trusted them like you.

Ewu.

Wow! RIP

Helicopters are very unsafe. I no know why rich people dey always use am.

Kobe Bryant, Leicester city owner, Herbert wigwe. In fact most deaths from air travel na helicopter cause am.

The story is even sadder cos his wife and child were involved

Add Aaliyah to the list...Aaliyah's death really pain me sha.

How did you come to the conclusion in your last paragraph?

If a certain person had not been a former Governor before we would have been saying something similar to this your fallacious fallacy now.

But you agree with the 1st paragraph abi.

You're one of the problems of Nigeria.

Very well said. I could not hv said it better myself. Note that the United States and Britain were in support of apartheid South Africa and their colonization of Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola etc.

It was Cuba who sent up to 55000 troops that helped with liberation and independence of African states from apartheid south Africa not the white man the Africans worship today.

You couldnt hv said it better. Well said

You are talking rubbish. Don’t know what you think you read that made you think you know so much.

Hundreds of helicopters fly in the country every day. tens of thousands of commercial helicopters.

Their technology is different from commercial big airplanes so they come down easier but it has nothing to do with the rubbish you are writing

Your comment does not address the underlying truth that today Africans worship Europeans who enslaved their ancestors due to colonial brainwashing.
