A plane I boarded made an emergency landing at an abandoned airstrip after the pilot indicated that he was actually unfit to fly a commercial plane, he then asked if there was any pilot or anyone with reasonable flight experience on board, 3 men raised their hands.

The pilot then made us (the passengers) choose from the 3 men but first it was required that they speak and show proof of their license to fly a plane of that capacity.

The first man stood up. He presented his license and certifications as a commercial pilot of a smaller plane.

He told us how he flew a commercial plane for 8 years and how he was able to navigate the heavy turbulence he frequently encountered mid-air. He showed us a workable plan on how he intended to fly us to our desired destination. He took a bow and sat down. We applauded him.

It was time for the second man to speak. He managed to stand with the assistance of his friends who also boarded. We immediately protested and made it clear to him that he apparently was unwell and so couldn't be allowed to fly the plane, his friends fought back.

Whilst his friends were arguing with us on why he should be allowed to fly, the man kept muttering "it's my turn", we decided to give him a benefit of doubt and finally allowed him to speak. We asked him, "your turn to do what?". He responded, "it's my turn to fly this plane".

All the passengers were seemingly speechless, totally gobsmacked. He then went on to brag about how he even helped the current pilot become the pilot of this plane despite not being qualified for the position. He reiterated that it was now his turn to fly the plane.

We asked him to show his licences before we could proceed. It turned out to be that the man had flown another plane in the past which he verily mismanaged and was currently in a terrible condition. We also discovered that the man had been stealing the plane's maintenance fund.

We demanded an explanation to these discoveries but his friends on the plane fought us, again. They told us that all these discoveries didn't matter and that the only agenda now was to ensure that he flies the plane, to which we firmly rejected, a war of words ensued.

It was in this heated argument that the third man who had already been forgotten stood up and yelled that he should be allowed to speak. We then asked him to present his qualifications. He presented his license but had in fact never flown a plane as he was only a co-pilot.

We also discovered that as a co-pilot for 8 years, he was known for siphoning the plane's maintenance funds and had built an empire out of it, just like the second man. We rejected him and told him that we didn't want what happened to his former plane to happen to ours.

At this point we had heard from all three supposed pilots and we had to make a choice, remember that we were in an abandoned airstrip and didn't know the danger that could be out there.

The first man reiterated his commitment to fly the plane diligently to our destination.

The second man re-emphasized that it was his turn to fly the plane and nothing would stop him despite his illness and negative precedents that trailed him, he went ahead to instigate some passengers to chose him over the other 2 on the basis that they shared a common ethnicity.

Some of the passengers who shared the same ethnicity fell for the bias, but majority of them stood their ground and insisted that he was not fit to fly the plane. At this point, most of us had already pitched our tent with the person we saw as the most qualified, the first man.

The second man's friends decided to make up stories to ruin the first man's reputation, but we didn't take their word for it, we did our research, verified and saw that all the allegations were false and that indeed, the first man is truly who he says he is.

The third man who we had forgotten, again, yelled out. "I am still here", this got our attention and even though we didn't really want him to speak because we had practically made up our minds, he went ahead to quote a copied strategy which he even found difficult to interpret.

He also had a clown, his name was "mockery the clown", his job was to annoy those who didn't support his boss, throughout this whole time mockery didn't let the first man be, he was a nuisance, we had to bundle and tie him up after which we dumped him in the plane's toilet.

The third man didn't particularly have any strategy and so he decided to induce the passengers by bribing them with wads of dollar bills, some really hungry ones collected the money and decided to support him, they were only a few tho, an insignificant number.

The second man continued his entitled demand of reiterating that it was his turn. At this point, his friends who were also crooks like him decided not to tell the passengers why their man was in the best position to fly the plane, they focused on trying to ridicule the first man.

The first man however didn't let any of their moves affect him as he focused on educating the passengers on why he was the best, he even went from seat to seat to engage everyone, he didn't discriminate. In a short while, it became apparent to all of us that he was the favourite.

Meanwhile, mockery the clown is still tied up in the plane's toilet where we bundled him, he has been talking to himself, but he thinks people are actually listening.

Well, what else would you expect from a clown if not make a jest of himself?

If you were in this plane with us, who would you choose amongst the 3 men?

Magnoliaa:
1st Man

Magnoliaa:
2nd Man

Magnoliaa:


1st Man

Michelle70:
u forgot that the first man crashed his plane and didnt take the persengers to their destination.

The second man was a seasoned pilot who actually flew his plane well but now he is not fit to fly it, he is old and shaking

The third man was a co pilot who never flew a plane.

infact the main pilot was clueless

Magnoliaa:


Right. So the 2nd Man flew well but the first did not in your books? Great bias.

That aside, we're talking about the present specifically. On the plane. The first man has his license and certifications complete and verifiable. You wouldn't trust a pilot who's qualification you can verify, would you?

Also, can you call Segun Odegbami and his likes to come and play for Nigeria at the next World Cup, lol? Sake of say they were *good* in the past?

Michelle70:
if u read my comment, i wasnt really giving credit to any of the pilot.

Do not call me bias just because u have accepted to reason in a particular way that favoured your own pilot.

All the passengers have their reasons why they want any of the pilot.
First u have to listen to their own fancies instead of insulting and calling them bias.
With this mentallity, the passengers wont come to a conclusion.

thanks

Magnoliaa:


No, it is a bias. (And it is not an insult).

The fact that you see nothing good in the first man's administration, but think the second did well tells me all I need to know.

It is exactly the same way I think the first man performed way better than the second, even though the second one has a few good reports to his names. But there are countless red flags to him.

I never said you were supporting anyone, abd you know what, you can leave the conclusion to the rest of us all you like, LMFAOO, na all of us dey we same plane (unless you're flying another airline sha).

But if you're in this plane in question, if e crash, na everybody e go touch las las...so be quiet and don't participate, you hear? Hm-mmm.

Michelle70:
But oh! they are the only pilots we have now in the plane, therefore sooner or later, i will decide.

Unlike u lots, i take my time to decide who i'll choose and my decision cant be influenced by what u all say. i am waiting for them to tell the people how they will pilot the plane

Magnoliaa:


Oh. You will still decide ni? When it's about 5 months to the election? Ok.

I wish you luck and the wisdom in picking the best candidate to lead the nation.

Have a good night.

N3TRAL:
Worst possible Allusion.

Stick to diary keeping !

Michelle70:
election? so there will be election sef? which means there will be campaign, so i have my chance to choose

candidate, nation?
i thought we are talking about pilots and plane here?

Ya, do dream of me

Magnoliaa:


No. There won't be an election, there'll be a coronation.

Of course, I was talking a pilot candidate, and the Nation Airways.

Erhh, sorry, but I'm not trans as you have a female name and a male (m) indicator for your moniker.

Michelle70:
whaaat? u mean u dont dream of angels?

Good night abeg, i have to go to bed, i need to go to work 2moro

Magnoliaa:


Hullo, there, fan.

I am pleased to know you find my diaries enjoyable. Anyway, I am not the writer of the story.

N3TRAL:
In October 2020 you were at the forefront of Endsars riot on Nairaland. The most gruesome police brutality story was scripted while the "best pilot" flew a small plane

You're just another cancel culture sheep.

Magnoliaa:


Hullo, there, fan.

I am pleased to know you find my diaries enjoyable. Anyway, I am not the writer of the story.

Magnoliaa:


Look at this one? It is me you want to shame for being woke? Bra and paynt, I am an Internet-loving Generation Z evening newspaper.

If you know me from as far back as 2020, then you would have seen the number of labels I attach to my signature.... from expired product to slay queen to terf to sharwama lover and Indomie-and-egg kind of cook.

If you push it too much, I just might update my signature to include "cancel culture sheep." Just keep at it . You could alternatively apply for being my biographer, from the online aspect, 'cause I am convinced I need one at this point, lmao.

So where were we, leaving the drags aside?

Peter Obi has spoken extensively on making policing a state affairs. Both ASUU (striking) and SARS are federal government issues turn rotten. There was so only much PO could do... if those matters were within his control, he would definitely not have allowed them gotten to that stage of inhumane killings and life-derailing strikes.

SARS was out of Obi's executive powers as a governor.

Read and purge your heart of bile and ignorance.
