joseph1832:
Ask yourself this, Did the Chinese or Israeli shut down their Airports when GEJ visited them? African man with African mentality!!!.

Promhize: OP u have issues, go get yourself a private jet if its that painful as this is not peculiar to Nigeria.

Mr Aboki:

we should all start praying for another death in the Bayelsa axis of Jonathans Family and hope that will bring about the speedy completion of the Port-Harcourt - Bayelsa axis of this same road.

Billyonaire:

Do you see what I am talking about ? You mental midget, hardly can spell in English, yet, you and other cretins in your league of whimsical tomfoolery want to be allowed to land within a busy airstrip where VIPs are taking off against decisions of control tower. It is wise for you to get adequate education to function within the ambient of norm. The fact, that you call people names even without personal attacks directed at your person signals a larger dysfunction of your celebra. You need to be cultured in acceptable behaviorism in blogosphere.

You need to be checked in, examined, and declared "Unsafe" to live with the larger population. Regarding the 45 minutes delay "purportedly" experied by "Aboki" the Original Poster. He needs to understand that there is a reason the industry has Air Traffic Control. In one of my very many travels, we hovered over JFK for more than 45 minutes before we landed safely. We appreciated having a safe landing instead of bickering about delay. This is what sane people like my humble self do, but I cant say the same about the Mental Midgets and APC mosquitoes.

Billyonaire:

The Air Traffic Control and Airways Authorities work with set of codes, the have the powers by law to shut down the Airways for as long as they deem necessary for safety. The Pilots understand the rules of the business and communicates with control towers. The problem with most mental midgets is that they turn every issue to a political game. What has Air Control Instruction to an aircraft to stay airborne got to do with a road construction expedition and other nonsense brouhaha ?

richP:
so you mean he decided to risk his life in this unsafe Nigerian air travel system just so he could come here to rant? you GEJ buttlickers are so pathetic

naptu2: There are so many other examples that I want to give, but time will not permit me.


There's the "Clinton haircut issue" when planes were prevented from landing, so that Clinton could cut his hair.

There are the many times when fighter jets were scrambled, because planes strayed into Air Force One's airspace.

I was going to post an example of what happens when there are road and airspace closures, to show you that the President has no idea what's happening and did not give the order for their closure.

adino: @ op
you choose to use ph airport today because you knew G.E.J was in town and so you can come and rant here on nairaland (you may even have heard this story from other people). Even the skinny looking Obama (apology to Russian presido) commands a more dangerous road, air and sea closure. You also made a silly mention of Eleme axis of East West road which after 8 years was suddenly completed for this burial.
Hmm, G.E.j is really working then, G.E.J till 2019. Completing an 8 year project under record time. God Bless G.E.J.

airmark: @OP, how was the hovering for 45minutes in PH like? Were passengers upbeat? Feed us more now.

Arysexy: @ mr aboki a.k.a okija juju, bros u dissapoint me with this thread.

If PH airport was shut, u wudn't av landed. Control towers signals planes to take off and land. Would u av preferred to land as scheduled and collide with a plane on d tarmac? Or collide mid air with planes taking off?

There were 3 chattered flights taking off from lag and abuja respectively, morning and afternoon as was announced on NTA for d burial arrangements, definitely these chattered flights are supposed to affect d regular flight schedules. So u are not supposed to complain much bc they announced the take off time and landing time which wud av prompted u to either make an alternative plan if u don't want to be dissapointed with seeing VIPs delay ur movement. This kind of thing happens once in a blue moon, so y shud u use it to castigate d president? During festivities airport delays are also experienced, do u blame d president also? It was obvious many dignitaries wia in PH for d burial and as such, flight delays shud nt be a suprise to u.

Bros biko hapu Goodluck aka, odika berem onyego gi mmanya ndi APC?

Goodluck! Goodluck! Goodluck ka anyi ga eso! Ma ona eje eje ma ona ana ana, Goodluck ka anyi ga eso!

Idoma Likita: GEJ shudda used an Airforce Base na!
I'm his firm supporter oh, but his Anti-masses behaviour can be irritating sometimes!
D So-called VIPs following u up & down 2day didn't stand in d Hot Sun from 7am-5pm in 2011 to vote you in! We did!

berem: Its good you landed safely without any hitches. To God be the glory.

Now that you have finally left the fresh air crew, give yourself time to think about the future of our beloved country. You are always welcomed to the progressives if you're willing to join.

agabaI23: @aboki,
Are you annoyed because the airport was busy and your plane couldn't land or are you annoyed that the airport was busy due to dignitaries leaving the airport.

Portharcourt is not a large airport and on a day like the one you flied when there is a high profile ceremony involving the president, you would expect increased air traffic and it happens everywhere. Would you have been this annoyed if the airport was busy without the involvement of GEJ?

BTW you were never in Fresh air train otherwise yesterday alone wouldn't have affected so much that you will disparage his wife.

ojubi: Oops you are very silly. It is a standard practice for the air space to be sealed up when the president of any country is about flying, it is done all over the world. Even the oil companies in port harcourt suspend all their flying activities until the president is done.
The silly air line you used shd have delayed the flight until is it safe to land in PH before take off, and you are here blabbing.
There is no place that is sealed up in port harcourt cos I drove through presidential hotel and GRA yesterday. So stop the hocus pocus.

bloggernaija: That is what you get in an animal farm.
The burial of a nonentity is being used to waste public funds and infrastructure

joshua idibia: Use d right word. Respect d dead ok. Her mother is not ruling u.

Billyonaire:

You are confusing yourself, How can you say the Airspace was shut down, yet you were able to land after 45 minutes. Take it easy in calling people names when you are actually lower in IQ rating.

Ohibenemma: But Naptu has provided us with some highly insightful links to show how conventional such practice is. I have read all the responses and have seen the anti GEJs blatantly refuse to comment on those. Mental indiscipline is really rife amongst Nigerians. Very rarely do we see objectivity. Honestly, when I start having misgivings about Jonathan, I come to nairaland and get instant cure from the highly biased and polarised arguments spewed forth here. How much was actually spent on the burial? What percentage of it was from the Fed Govt's purse? That's objectivity! Should Fash want to do something similar, he would be surprised at the rate donations would be pouring in. That's a fact! Back to topic, it would do the OP and his backers a whole lot of good to google the security arrangements made for Obama's visit to Israel and make comparisons. Maybe Obama is different, after all, he's the President of 'A whole USA',
The only argument that seemed to make sense-to me-was the suggestion for the Airforce base as a better alternative. But do we know how equipped for such it is [color=#006600]But Naptu has provided us with some highly insightful links to show how conventional such practice is.
