Are you not surprised the rate our media rushed to publish the initial lies without authenticating from the FG or NAF?

deomelo:


Telling you what I don't subscribe to wasn't an insult, it was me stating my preference.


Learn how to read and comprehend simple English words.

FFK is being mischievous. He was one time minister of aviation, he is aware of aviation protocol and processes, yet he's living in denial and ignorance because he relishes bastardizing the system he also created as one time stakeholder.

Referring to anyone under any guise either supposed intelligent discourse or not is tantamount to an insult.

deomelo:



Directly saying you are ignorant and unintelligent is quiet different from me stating my preference.


You problem is inability to read and comprehend.

Perhaps you cant fathom what you typed...Pls read over and reference to the my initial post and tell me what you can infer from it.

Though kind of agree for security reasons

But it’s tax payers money

We don’t have air threats as a country

What we have is land threats

You could have fooled me. Even in this shithole where there are no rules.... hmmm interesting times ahead

Simply not good enough if approval was issued for an aircraft with engine problems, should expedited approval not be issued for the replacement considering the circumstances If the President was to fly to Makurdi and his plane developed a fault would all these excuses be issued for the replacement?

Make Una fear God oooo

Tlontin:

The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces bro. Think about it

Osirawboy:


You do know that the presidents airplane belongs to the Nigeria air force

deomelo:




What kind of mentality and basement reasoning God dash you people?

You biafra is doomed and DOA if you people really are the future of your biafra.

obailala:
There's just this inordinate but ridiculous obsession with politicizing everything in Nigeria. All over the world, there are rules and procedures which have to be followed in doing things. Quite often, such rules or protocols could be broken for VIPs such as the presidents or in emergency situations (I truly thought this should have been common sense knowledge).

In this case, a concession had already even been made as the application which should have been made 48 hours ahead was made same day and actually honoured. But now the argument is, "why shouldn't the procedure be broken completely?.. it is political!"

Nigerians can be amusing at times.

obi58:


Olodo.

Mr Biafra how market?

If a plane had to make an emergency landing would approval take 48hours? Did they commit a sin to seek to change a plane with a fault?

What does this have to do with Biafra?

Ejooo fear God

obi58:


You are the one being inordinately ridiculous.

Is this rocket science?

You gave plane A clearance to land at 1pm but developed engine trouble which is to be replaced by plane B.

Why should that take 48hrs?

You don't read right?

All over the aviation world, approval/permission must be sought before a plane is allowed to land on any airport. In this case, the application to land has to be made 48 hours in advance. First of all, the application for landing clearance here was even made on the same day, but a concession was given and the approval granted.

But now, you are given approval to land 'Plane A' but you for whatever reason now want to land 'Plane B', and you do not think it is necessary to seek official approval first before changing the aircraft?... Does that make any sense to you?... Or is this just a case of another Nigerian who has no regard for simple rules?

obailala:
Without going back to check, I'm very sure a couple of people on this thread (including myself) have responded to you about how concessions can be made only during air emergencies; even a presidential jet would officially seek permission before landing on any airport.

But for you to still make this meaningless comment again and again all for the sake of pointless arguments, it already speaks volumes of the kind of person you are.

deomelo:




Biafra mentality is backward and meaningless mentality.

obi58:


I'm thankful that least even you could recognise the fact that regardless of the accepted standard worldwide, concessions can be made on exceptional grounds.

If a concession could be given the first time why not a second time over a clearly unavoidable issue?

Get your head out your ass bro.

obi58:


Is this so hard to comprehend? If approved plane had engine problems why should it be impossible to secure an expedited approval for its replacement? Or are the approving authorities on another planet?

[s]What if a plane required emergency landing approval? Would that also have required your statutory 48 hours?[/s]

Get your head out your ass bro. Rules are made for man and not the other way around. No one is disputing the fact that they are laid down procedures but those procedures can be laid down in mitigating circumstances.

...However, at about 5pm on 16 July 2018, the NAF was verbally informed that there was a need to change the aircraft for which permission had already been issued, reportedly because the aircraft had developed snags. The NAF, therefore, asked for another written request, in line with the established procedure. As at date, the NAF Headquarters is yet to receive a written request for the replacement aircraft...

obailala:

With your command of English, I'm sure you must be well educated. But you obviously have either refused to read, or some flimsy political sentiments is blocking your comprehension abilities.

An official application was made and the NAF went out of its way to grant it same day. And then suddenly, there's a need to change the aircraft; whatever stops the persons involved from making another quick application?..... You keep talking about expedited approval to replace a plane, in your own wisdom, how can an approval (expedited or not) be given when no application was made?....

Is this you just trying to be an annoying online troll by deliberately feigning ignorance and making meaningless arguments or could it just genuinely be that you didnt bother reading the report before proceeding to drop comments and arguments?

Below is an extract from the report... it says up till now, no application has been made but you choose to BLAME the NAF (and by extension, govt) for not giving automatic approval?


...and by the way, please stop repeating and repeating that line about "a plane wanting to make an emergency landing." That statement has been responded to about a 100 times but you keep repeating it and proving to the world that you're simply one of those Nigerians who don't bother reading before proceeding to comment on issues. In fact, I'm done!
