The op should do further research on the guy mentioned, his true nationality and why he was specifically mentioned. He could've been billed to board that ill-fated flight but something happened along the line, he shouldn't be hasty to conclude on this based on the manifest alone

Daniel058:
So sad Terrorism of a certain religion caused their deaths .

You mean the US’s grand terror?

We've lost our humanity.
Someone is happy they were all Muslims.

There were kids aboard that plane.
There was a baby on board.

But we don't see that.
No respect for life.
I'm a christian and one valuable thing that our lord taught us that we've lost is " love".

But we've let diversity come between us.
Its fine. We shall all die. But let's live right.

You haven’t proven anything to me.

1) Manifests are sometimes wrong.

2) There is as such as a ride along technical observer who might be in a jump seat in the cockpit.

SenecaTheYonger:

Yes, you're very right sir

Enyimbamercedes:
I actually cannot see 63 Canadian looking names, or British or German looking names so for you to conclude with this fact check article that because there is no Nigerian looking name, that there was no Nigerian on board is really flawed.

They were all Iranians some with dual citizenship so I learnt

When i said punch just publish trash and has not professional ethic, they were foaming from the mouth on a young man.

legendhayor:
They said this baba died in the crash, crappy journalists

Will the guy in this picture please speak up and save us all this confusion? Are you dead or alive?

Is Saaidat Sara not a Nigerian?

If Trump had not provoked Iran, this wouldn't happened in the first place. Now Trump would be so hated eh by countries who lost their citizens.

Wow

Punch is specialized in propaganda. They are far from investigative journalism.......Herdsmedia for that matter

kiyosaki1:


You should give the give guardian newspaper the kudos for the corrections and stop ascribing it to yourself.

So where did I ascribe anything to myself? Didn't you see the source link or did you conveniently skip that part?

Legaldruglord:
What are those numbers beside the names . Is it their year of birth ?

Yes, year of birth.

Ishilove:
In this age of social media, it is very easy to give into the temptation of spreading news without proper checks, especially when they are being disseminated by supposedly reputable media outlets. However, thankfully there are still some who take the time out for fact checks.



Many threads were created on Nairaland on this matter and one even managed to grace the frontpage briefly before it was yanked off by the supermoderator. https://www.nairaland.com/5626777/nigerian-dauda-onoruoiza-among-victims
