3Dimension: Some folks will just pick dir fone and start typing nonsense because of dir tribal inclination...
How on earth will a plane mishap be blamed on God and u want nigerians to keep quiet? What is the no 1 priority of MR president himself if not the protection of lives and property of the populace.
What is the major reason why she is occupying that position if not to ensure safety and modalities in the aviation sector. If according to the senate..about 7 aviation accident (some avoided) had been recorded under two yrs then I don't think she has any idea on how to move the tide forward..


AIR MISHAP IS NOT A NATURAL DISASTER. IT IS HUMAN. IT IS COWARDICE TO BLAME AVOIDABLE PROBLEMS ON GOD. IT IS A SHAME !!!

IbukaDantata:
FAT LIAR LIKE YOU

Afam4eva:
Do you agree that the President should be impeached too since he's at the Aviation minister's boss and since the Aviation minister is the NCAA chairman's boss.

dbride:

YOU said this? YOU reasoned like this? Stella Oduah has just ONE ministry, GEJ has so many. The ministers are supposed to be his eyes over the different ministeries assigned to them. They have full authority. Waoh, can't believe you made that comment. You should understand how organisations function. Free your mind from that tribal bondage and you will reason like you used to. Religion and Tribe truly are demons that attack the real human mind with blindness. Think about it bros, I know you now, wetin come happen...obu zi kwa ngi... na wao

hercules07:

Buck stops at the table of the minister, the call for her sack is the correct one, of course, she can also be sacked along with the NCAA guys or a new minister can sack the NCAA man. The problem with a lot of people supporting her is because she is from their tribe, the NCAA man is from my tribe and I believe he should be sacked, anybody and everybody responsible for the failures should be sacked. Do you know how many CEOs got fired because of ordinary cable ducts during the manufacture of the A380?

ndu_chucks: We really do not need to tribalize this issue. We've had too many fatal mishaps during Stella's term and instead of hearing sober pronouncements and her comprehensive plan for improving air transportation safety, we hear unapologetic comments from her.

I think the President needs to do the right thing and replace her.

Okija_juju: How many Planes have crashed under Stellas Watch biko nu?!


Azazi died in a Military helicopter crash - Are we blaming her for this one?!

Suntai crashed himself as well - Are we blaming her for this one?!

Agagu Crash - Well.. We have not seen the NTSB report on the cause of the crash for this one yet.

Dana Aircrash - Another well.. They never published the NTSB report on the cause of this either..

So on what grounds do they want to pull the best Aviation minister in Nigeria's history?!



Rather than hurriedly call for her resignation, why not wait for the NTSB reports on the causes of these crashes?!

All these people always trying to put down the Igbos in government despite the fact that all the best performers in the Nigerian Government have all been Igbo:: From Soludo to Nnaji to Akunyili to Iweala to Oduah!!


#She aint going nowhere..

grabdbull: How come some very innocuous posts on this thread were hidden, while one of the vilest comments, unprovoked, with the first line totally unrelated to the subject in consideration, abusing an entire ethnic group, made by one Chima_Adeoye has been left open for all to quote, thereby giving it so much prominence.

Even the post by Okija_Juju insisting that we should not take words spoken by some Nigerians (Senators of the Federal republic) seriously because they are "Ndi-Hausa", and the rebuttal that these ones are as much Nigerian as you and I are, were also hidden; yet that odious abomination spewed by Chima_Adeoye is left for the world to read.

Mr. Moderator, you are biased, and have clearly favored tribal sentiments over objective discussions on issues relating to comments made by the Senate.

sleek_p: Sorry Stella is going no where, y'all tribal bigots can have a group transformer hug.

Sec5: Calling for her resignition is not the best thing to do now.She should be encouraged to focus on safety now she has achieved a feat in aesthetics.Reason being that majority of ex-aviation ministers neither made any impact on infrastructural upgrading of the airports nor guaranteed air safety.Now that we have someone who is able to perform in one aspect as attested to by the senators,let us encourage her to fix the safety issues

sleek_p: Sorry Stella is going no where, y'all tribal bigots can have a group transformer hug.

gregtochi:

Come on!!! dude, Stella has so many parastatals and agencies under her watch if that is your argument. Don't tell me she is supposed to inspect the planes herself. She has people like the NCAA boss to handle that agency.

If you discredit the argument that GEJ be impeached cos of this air mishap, then your argument in calling for Stella's sack does not hold water.

Okija_juju:


See my guy!

Lets stop kidding ourselves.. [b]Tribalism is real in Nigeria.

If 15 hausa senators are calling for the head of an Igbo Minister, my brother, you expect us to jump and supportthem?! Abi you dont know that we ndi Igbos and Ndi Hausa have a history that goes as far back as 1965?!

My guy chill out jor! na society wey we see we dey manage so!

You dont call for the resignation of a person from her post until you prove that her negligence was responsible for this disaster.. [/b]

Chima_Adeoye: [size=14pt]We should stop chasing shadows and focus on where the problem lie, which is those who authorized the plane to fly.
The NCAA will ground planes in the Presidential fleet or even a state Governor's jet if they feel it is unsafe to fly!
[/size]
[b]"In Nigeria, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is the apex regulatory body, overseeing the activities of all airlines and their pilots, engineers and cabin staff, airports, airstrips and heliports, navigation aids, all service providers including the airport authority and the air traffic service provider, aviation training institutions, etc. NCAA watches over the entire industry. Its role can aptly be described as that of "general overseer" or "referee:' For want of a better sobriquet, NCAA has even been address as the "police" of the industry.

One of the key instruments of NCAA's regulation is the issuance or revalidation of licenses such as Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), Air Transport Licence (ATL), Airline Operating Permit (AOP), Permit for Non Commercial Flight (PNCF) and Air Travel Organizer's License (ATOL). NCAA's Aviation Safety Inspectors conduct unscheduled on the spot inspections of the operations of airlines and other service providers to ensure continuous compliance with the regulations guiding their operations"

[size=14pt]Our expert Captain Fola Akinkuotu should tell us why he sanctioned an airplane which was still undergoing test flight according to Smart Adeyemi "investigation" to fly the Agagu's family to Akure. Put the blame where it squarely rest and stop playing politics![/size]

Ok, the highlighted words are the reasons for the abysmally lame execution of moderation functions by the moderator, and even unprovoked vile attacks on individuals and ethnic nationalities. These words are the reasons for the fervent defense of anyone who speaks your language, without any objective analysis of the realities on ground.

This is the recipe for continuous man-fueled disasters.

IYA NGBALI: the bulk stops on her table,so she should be made to pay for it

Chima_Adeoye: [size=15pt]All these useless Yoruba/ APC bigots.

In all of Nigeria's history even when Ministers like Fani Kayode licensed planes for their girlfriends to fly airline businesses, when was an Aviation Minister ever asked to resign because of an aircrash? But because Madam Stella Oduah is Igbo, now she must resign,even when NCAA and not the minister is responsible for licensing planes.

If they are not doing their campaign of calumny against Dr. Okonjo Iweala,it will be against Diezani K. Alison-Madueke or Stella Otti.

Why not ask Omobola Johnson, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade, Mrs. Olajumoke Akinjide, Akinwumi Adeshina and Olusegun Aganga to resign for their lacklustre performance in government?

Anyhow, like Okonjo Iweala told them recently " I serve at the pleasure of the President who appointed me and who shall relieve me of the appointment when my performance falls below his expectation" Simply put, SORRY, I WILL NOT RESIGN FOR SHAMELESS TRIBALISTS AND BIGOTS![/size]

tiwasiaife: Minister of transport should resign 4 all the rnad accidents, minister of defence should resign cos of people killed by boko haram,etc rubbish they r talkn cos they use plane often. She is goin no where.

Urine: I've read all the comments and one thing is certain, Nigeria won't be great anytime soon, ethnic loyalty has clouded people's judgement. Even if you must defend Stella on this issue why must it be based on ethnicity? When the United States talked about this country splitting by 2015, they knew what they were saying.

It's now a tough task to have an intelligent argument, it seems most people don't have brians again.

kingoflag: If u had any sense or knew ur worth as a human being and what u deserve from ur government ull know thats how it should be.

kilode95:

You took this out of my mouth...
The comments b :oy some people here are terrifying...
