gods I: ...That is when mortals begin to abhor tribalism and embrace tolerance. The gods are angry, and Igbos shall overcome.

nnenna.1:
Stella Oduah has implicated herself and should face her punishment like every public servant caught stealing. She should give account of why such an amount of money was used for just 2 cars. Period.

Sunny_bobo: I can only say that Oduah has fallen my hands. She should go the honourable thing by stepping down while EFCC is allowed to do their work thoroughly.

gods I: Mr addled brain, under whose leadership did the highest plane crash occure? And under whose leadership of this same ministry did the highest recorded aircrash related mortality occure? Did you have any idea how much they accrue in fiscal cash or how they spent it? What great innovations did they facilitate then compare to now? How public was their appointments to help us determine their un-tribalist consideration? Since the inception of the aviation ministry, what tribe are the most dominant in heading the ministry? Why so much focus on this one? Yorubas! The greatest enemies of Igbos. I must support igbos in this case.

skies.oduah:
Blah blah blah. I bet none you hypocrites would say those mean things if she was your mother, sister, aunt, or cousin. I'm not surprised to read those comments and name calling.

adanny01: What pains me most is that her oga @ the top will turn a deaf ear and pretend like non of his appointees are corrupt.

It is because of his tolerance for corruption that i will definately not vote for him come 2015. He should be seen as intolerant of corrupt government officials.

thrugemaster: The Ministry of Aviation has confirmed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority bought two bulletproof vehicles worth $1.6m (N255m) for the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.

An online news medium, SaharaReporters, had reported on Tuesday that the armoured vehicles were delivered to the minister in August.

The medium reported that documents in its
possession showed that the transaction for the purchase of the two BMW cars started in June, but the request for the delivery of and payment

From the onset, some of us believed there must be an atom of truth in the whole bullet proof vehicle scandal. Now that it has been a confirmed rumour, the honourable thing for the minister to do is to resign. President Jonathan must as a matter of fact be ready to fire Mrs Stella Oduah as minister if eventually she fails to resign in the next one or two weeks. For the minister to say that air accidents are acts of God simply tells us she is incompetent, irresponsible, irritating & of no value to the present administration.







for them was fast-tracked between August 13 and 15, 2013.

The transaction involved the NCAA, First Bank of Nigeria, and Coscharis Motors Limited, according to the report.

The two black BMW 760 Li HSS vehicles had chasis numbers WBAHP41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044, and were reportedly delivered to the NCAA on August 13, 2013. They were received by two store managers, F. Onoabhagbe and Y. A. Amzat, who is also the agency’s head of transport.

[b]However, the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Aviation, Mr. Joe Obi, who confirmed the development on Wednesday, said the vehicles were purchased to protect the minister from some external threats.

He said in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, “Yes, it is true that some security vehicles were procured for the use of the office of the honourable minister in response to the clear and imminent threat to her personal security and life following the bold steps she took to reposition the sector.

“When she came on board as the minister, she inherited a lot of baggage in terms of the concession and lease agreements in the sector, which were clearly not in the interest of the government and people of Nigeria.

“And so, she took bold steps and some of these agreements were reviewed and some were terminated, and these moves disturbed some entrenched interests in the sector, and within this period, she began to receive some imminent threats to her life; therefore, the need for the vehicles.

“It should be noted that these vehicles are not personal vehicles and were not procured in the name of the honourable minister; they are utility vehicles and are for the office of the minister, and if she leaves the office, she will not be taking the vehicles along with her.”[/b]

On his part, the spokesperson for the NCAA, Mr. Fan Ndubuike, feigned ignorance of the development.

“I am not aware of anything like that,” he told our correspondent at 8.05pm on Wednesday.

The NCAA is the agency charged with ensuring the airworthiness of commercial planes flying within the country’s airspace.

The agency has been under fire lately over a series of mishaps and near crashes involving planes being operated by domestic airlines that were certified fit for flight operations by the NCAA.

There have also been rumours that the NCAA does not have enough funds to upgrade its equipment, send its employees for critical training and hire enough qualified hands, while questions are also being raised by industry watchers on the ability of the cash-strapped agency to procure such expensive vehicles.

However, the Director-General, NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, had on Monday denied the claims of being cash-strapped, saying that the agency was buoyant.

He said, “We are not broke, we have been carrying out all our responsibilities and have been undertaking the training of our staff as and when due.

“I can tell you that right now, some of our staff members are undergoing training abroad and we still have others that are waiting for approval; we do not joke with training here and I challenge anyone to come up with anything otherwise to that effect.”

Meanwhile, two major air crashes have occurred under Oduah’s watch

Sunny Bobo, what you have to understand is that since the inauguration of Enugu International Airport Many Yorubas are not happy, they are not with this woman and Jonathan

texazzpete:

There are millions of civil servants in Nigeria. many of the Nairalanders here even have parents that are civil servants. Many are 100% honest. Akunyili did a decent job in her turn as the NAFDAC DG but to turn around and claim she is the 'most honest' is sheer sycophancy.

If I were you, i would be very hesitant to bring up her thoroughly lacklustre performance as a 'politician'. We're still scratching our heads about what became of the N8b or so reserved for HD equipment for NTA during one of the Youth world cups held in Naija. Posterity will judge her harshly for the billions wasted in the brainless 'rebranding' campaign that even a toddler could have told her was destined for failure.
