DeathParade:
Sorry. I am a bit on edge, not only due to the crash, but because of people online from Brits to Singaporeans celebrating or making fun of the crash, all because they all buy the propaganda that India is some sort of backwaters Banana republic. So any suggestion that the possible maintenance issue is due to India being a developing nation, is deeply infuriating to me.

My point still stands though. India has a good commercial aviation record as per the data and as per ICAO.

I will concede though, Nairaland has been a lot more civil about this crash than most of the people from the so called Developed world. Goes to show that the right attitude is independent of a nation's development status.

I guess u are Indian by nationality right ?

Roland17:
Baba, thank you so much. You see, for this new Seun NL, I Dey use sense join debates before I chop ban.

I clearly indicated “may” and will not out rule it. I was trying to say we should be careful with piling on Boeing and ensure we are evaluating other factors which Maintenace is one.

How he interpreted developing country to mean 3rd world is his own understanding and agenda because 3rd world countries are not the same as developing nations.

Thank you once again.

I clicked on his post history and I noticed a pattern; most of his posts seem to be pro-India .

He probably has a connection with India and was not happy ur post seem to suggest Indian authorities may have been negligent and are to be blamed for the crash that he thinks is just accidental .

izzou:
[color=royalblue] That's not the post he was responding to.

It was The flint who was talking about how someone said the plane had no functioning ACs and electronics, yet it was allowed to fly
[/color]

Just click on that his original post, u will see that particular post was in response to Roland17. He quoted Roland directly responding to him when he said he won’t put the cause of the crash beyond maintenance issue instead of blaming Boeing

DeathParade:
People who say the crash occurred because India is a Third world country have ZERO clue what they are talking about.

India ranks 48th in ICAO’s aviation safety oversight rankings ahead of:
China (49)
Isreal (50)
Turkey (54)
Norway (52)

Only 2 fatal commercial crashes in 10 years before this despite India flying 8000 flights every day and 3 million flights every year.
That’s a safety record on par with the U.S. and EU.

India also holds FAA Category 1 status, meaning it meets the highest international safety standards.

Below is the original post u quoted

Roland17:
I am frequent flyer and can say I have a healthy experience with flying and planes.

Again, not saying Boeing doesn't have a history, however, this history (with a lot of sensationalism padded) has eroded our ability to ask questions rather than hasty generalization. Do you know the number of Airbus planes that have suffered mishaps during the same period? Boeing is the face of commercial airplanes in the world, so I can understand.

While I am sympathetic to the lives lost, I think I will wait for the black box report/ investigation. India is a developing country and like Nigeria, I will most definitely not putting it past maintenance. Na for Nigeria we see deaths from poor maintenance culture.

Piling on Boeing after a crash like this isn't right. I will wait for the investigation. Before today's crash, the 787-8 Dreamerliner had an immaculate safety and flight record. I believe this is it's first major loss, I stand corrected.

RIP to the dead

Roland said he’s not putting the cause of the crash past maintenance related rather than just hastily concluding the plane manufacturer is at fault . He says the fact that India is a developing country and not there yet like developed countries like America and the likes; there’s high chance there were lapses in the maintenance of the aircraft .

DeathParade:
A Turkish company handles the maintenance of all Air India Boeing 787. So, even if investigation reveals maintenance issue to be the cause, it won't be because "India is a third world country" like you are suggesting.

Your suggestion that India has a culture of shoddy aircraft maintenance due to India being a third world country is disproven by the fact that such air crashes aren't common in India despite India being the world's third largest aviation market AND it is also the world's fastest growing aviation market.

You are the one who introduced the vocabulary “ third world country “ into the discussion . You are the one that keep harping on the crash being as a result of India being a third world country .

The person u quoted just pointed it out that maintenance may be an issue as in the case for some developing countries .

Try calm down small

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You're very much on point🔛👌. I think this is exactly what the Rick Scott guy on face cap is doing, turn the narrative against Iran even though Israel attacked Iran unprovoked.
Iran should just focus on Israel, in case they decide to respond, don't attack US military formation in the region.

If at this stage, Iran does not have nuke then obviously their leadership is incompetent and should be thrown overboard.
Assassinations is even made worse by the biting economic reality thanks to illegal and unilateral Western economic sanctions against Tehran. The loyalty of a poor & hungry man can easily be bought.

So now ur eyes has finally cleared that Iran doesn't have nuke, or do u still hope and pray they have it ?

BlueRayDick:
Do u believe they have and they are afraid to reveal it?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I believe they have it. Most of the artillery shell Russia is using against Ukraine come from North Korea. The drones mostly from Iran. Armoured vehicles some come from China. Last year, North Korea launched her first military spy satellite into the orbit. That was just two or three months after Kim's visit to Moscow where partnership agreement bordering on military cooperation were signed. What do you think Iran will get in return?

It is also refreshing seeing you advise Iran not to attack US military formations. The old Okpa would've gassed up and boast about how Iran has the capability to take out any US key assets in the middle east . I just like how ur body come calm down now

LordAdam16:
OkpaNsukkaisBae

Iran Foreign Minister just landed in Lebanon.
No Air Defense, IAF jets buzzing in Beirut, mf in his most Elijah Mikaelson impression: "Gentlemen shall we".

It's the courage.
Don't go through corners. Bomb him. Start that war you want. Your fighters are in the air. Catch that smoke.
Iran is just f*cking with Netanyahu right now.

Earlier in the week President Masoud met with Hamas Politburo in Qatar.
The GCC FMs kissing the ring.

Kill anybody, he will be replaced.
There are 90 million Iranian.
You could kill your entire population in Iran and there'll still be 75 million people left.
You dey follow Persia rub shoulder.
Chihuahua!

-Lord

Israel does not want the smoke will always remain funny to me sha.

I still find it difficult to believe that the same LordAdam who was so sure Israel cannot unalive Iranian leaders is suddenly talking about Guerilla warfare after Israel took out the Iranian Army Chief of Staff .

I'm sure deep down u will be very angry finding out that Iran is just a paper tiger that sold u false hope to into believing they have everything figured out.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You be yeye man oooh. U no serious. Wetin u wan make I dey apart from updates? I no be Iranian, I no be Ayatollah or IRGC na dem dey share missiles.

Wow! Nice to know, will keep that in mind

raumdeuter:
Israel go still send another invite to Iran

They will keep baiting them and they will keep failing for it.

Things thing wey Trump talk ; it seems Israel is going all out to effect a regime change in Iran with the way they are moving .

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
No rest for the Zionist supporters. Update go full ground. The below is the official statement released by the Russian ministry of foreign affairs.

" Unprovoked attacks on a sovereign state, its citizens, peaceful cities and nuclear energy infrastructure facilities are unacceptable. Israel has consciously made the choice to further escalate tensions ," the Ministry said.

▪️As they added, "responsibility for all consequences of the Israeli provocation against Iran will be borne by the Israeli leadership."

" The solution to the Iranian nuclear program has no military solution and can only be achieved through peaceful means ," the Russian Ministry stressed.

Keep sharing press release bro, that's the only thing available to share for now

Sportsweb:
🚨 Breaking: Iran's 🇮🇷 IRGC Quds Force commander Gen. Esmail Qaani is confirmed safe in Israel 🇮🇱

It can now be revealed that he was an Israeli asset, providing intelligence that led to elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah leaders Nasrallah and Safieddine.

Are you kidding me

This had better be false.

Iamoyindamola this is giving the vibe of Tehran TV series in real life

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
You have enough reason to be excited, to be happy, to troll those who are not supporting Israel. This is your moment.
The US government evacuated most of their diplomats and families in the Middle East before the Israeli airstrikes. They know what's at stake. Just like the US lawmakers, government officials in that screenshot.

I like this humble version of u; maybe Israel should be striking Iran regularly so ur body go dey calm down like this

Imagine what small Israel is doing to almighty Iran. What do u think will happen if the Americans decide to take on Iran ?

At least now we go rest small with from ur spamming news about the Axis of terror

afrodoc2:
It is called situation renovation, and you are talking to the Victor ludorum of that.

It is like a guy who boasts about how great his gf is, only to catch one of his guys cuddling her. He then boasts it is only cuddle you cuddled, only to next catch them knacking her. He then boasts that na nacking una nack, you no give am bele, only for the girl to be impregnated by his guys.

The level of goalpost shifting and situation renovation is both highly and deeply impressive.

The guy just dey carry goalpost from one part of Maracana to the other . I salute him for his efforts

MorataFC:
The whole thing is rubbish. Seun should know that for every tight rule or restriction, there's always a workaround.
I doubt this rules will stand the test of time

How does a 40-character limit stop anyone from booking the space?

Have you seen the recent posts that made it to the Front Page? People are still booking space using gibberish posts like:
"fgtrdxdekcjgjdbeb vjfjenxndnsbcj wejcjtrjcjrjc"
just to meet the 40-character requirement. Then they simply edit the post after.

I also don't think the 40-character limit will solve the space booking problem, I only gave a possible reason behind its introduction by the site owner . I can't think of any other reason why he may have introduced it.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This is too early to celebrate. Be calm, watch as things unfold because Iran will respond. This is an unprovoked attack against Iran. Reasonable people are praying for the safety of Israel.

hahahahahahhaha

A whole Okpa; the nairaland sports section analyst on Iranian affairs has now been reduced to sharing screenshots of people "praying" for Israel .

This Israel move really touched a nerve

They don respond

Intercontinental ballistic Missile wey go still end up killing one or two Palestinians

Ibime:
Remember where he dared Israel to kill any Iran top General or Ayatollah if their mind sure them, that's it's a sure declaration of war, now they are dead and Ayatollah dey bunker dey tweet yet Iran dey fear to declare war

I remember clearly well.

I hope nihilistjnr finds time to come online and come konk his head for all the braggado he did while they were both discussing Iran Vs Israel back then. No name wey he no call nihilsitjnr that time; even sportsweb told him those braggado he was doing won't age well.

Today 15 senior military men including Iranian Chief of army staff have been wiped off the face of the earth and he's boring us with talks of Guerella warfare and War being a marathon not a sprint .

PrinceEma:
Oh he braghe a year ago? Lmoa.

And in the screeenshot, another guy was reminding him that he bragged the year prior.

Next year, another moniker will use your post to remind him of his annual braggings...hehehe

Na bragging the guy dey use show his support for Iran. He dey always promise things wey even Ayatollah no fit deliver

raumdeuter:
This is an open admission that Iran is inferior to Israel and cannot match them or go toe to toe with them.

Its the equivalent of running Guerilla warfare in Vietnam forest vs US forces

Someone you claim to be his equal cannot be punching you and removing your teeth while you are scratching and biting them

Someone came to your homeland to attack you and the best response is to be attacking their own embassies abroad? Why not go and attack their homeland too

So whats the difference between Iran and Hamas, Houthi is your response is the typical Hamas in tunnels response

The shocking thing is everyone in the world knew Israel would be doing it, they even set an appointment and gave a date, kept the date, even did extras and Iran couldnt do anything to stop it nor counter or even retaliate with equal measures

This isn't the first time, In the last 12months they have cleared IRGC officials multiple times, and what Iran has to show is sending drones that were intercepted easily

By today Israell war cabinet members should be dropping, Bibi, Yoav Gallant, Dermer should be in getting smoke directly not like I will kidnap your citizens on vacation in Brazil type things

Its shameful to say the least

Just 7 months ago the same LordAdam16 was telling us right on this thread that Iran is not Israel's mate . Today he's singing discordant tune and telling us almighty Iran will be operating like Boko Haram to get back at tiny Israel. Smh

LordAdam16:
B0t no go make me quote everybody.

GloriousGbola, ellexy, afrodoc, A40

This is an excerpt from a tourist in Iran on the record to Al Jazeera



That is from the city of Isfahan.
Home to a nuclear site that has not yet been targeted.
And Iranians there are "stunningly relaxed".

Na una dey gyrate.
Everyone else is calm and relaxed.
Hand go touch who e go touch.

Israeli embassies around the world are shut indefinitely.
Israel itself is shut indefinitely.

Target who and where you want to target.
Celebrate your Ws.
The war just started. We're still in first Innings.

-Lord

In October 2024 u were everywhere on this thread telling anyone that cares to listen that Iran is not Israel’s mate . You fought tooth and nail to disprove the notion that Israel’s IAF jet flew unchallenged in Iranian airspace .

Your brother in Iranian affairs Okpa was busy sharing videos of Iranian air defense systems in operation . Both of u beat ur Iranian flat chest that Israel will bite the dust when Iran fully comes at them. Since that time , no show .

Yesterday Israel rubbished all ur previous talking points about the so called superior might of Iranian military by not only operating Unchallenged in Iranian airspace , but they also took out top generals of the IRGC . They rained fire on the identified nuclear sites within Iran’s capital city and here u are boring us tales by moonlight since daybreak .

Baba too much talk no Dey full basket , Israel don knack ur team better apako abeg try rest .

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Iran have joined the big boys. Iran is the only country that have successfully & directly attacked two nuclear armed nation, Pakistan and Israel. You will be very foolish to think they don't have nuclear weapon themselves.
By now we should be seeing satellite images of Israeli successful airstrikes in Iran but nothing to show.


How many top Iranian men did IDF eliminate last night?




Iranian government officials have been landing their aircraft in Beirut back to back amidst Israeli airstrikes waiting for IDF to shoot it down from the sky. IDF didn't take the bait

This didn't age well at all.

Iran and their supporters are known for cho cho cho. They claimed Israel can't smoke "Iranian Top men", now that they've done exactly that, na super story we just dey read since morning.

LordAdam16:
Na you dey reason am like that.

In their mind, they've done the civilized thing of not acquiring a nuke and negotiating for sanctions relief.
Israel and the West tore that sh*t up yesterday. They can now do whatever they like.
Get a nuclear bomb. Be a state sponsor of terrorism. Like Pakistan. There's nothing holding back the crazies.

And I say this as a pro-Axis fella. The crazies give me the heebie-jeebies.
All the people Israel assassinated are the guys who grudgingly accepted that they did not need a nuclear weapon to prevent yesterday.
[b]The guys who'll replace them are the kind of guys who'll back a Kashmir style terrorist attack in and outside Israel targeting Israelis with no care in the world about collateral damage.

Iran has multiple nuclear sites still functioning at the moment.
It hasn't fired a ballistic missile yet. The likes of Ahmadinejad and Jalili are still breathing.
When I say I'm not worried about an Iran-Israel confrontation. This is what I mean.
Israel has taken out the Natanz. Killed half a dozen generals. What has changed?
Except giving hardliners a generational justification to go biblical on Israeli interests around the planet.
Plus, they can and will still acquire the nuke Israel sought to stop.

Is there any Israeli anywhere in the world who'll walk out today without feeling apprehensive about being a victim of a Washington execution like happened with Yaron and Sarah.
Khamenei should issue a fatwa authorizing development of a nuclear weapon and run a test to pacify the hardliners.
Get the bomb. Decide on some kind of revenge. Let calm heads prevail before the bodies of randoms start dropping.
Israel don rush shut down the entire country. 😂
Children. Dem feel say market wen dem b 1 buy get expiry date[/b].



-Lord

If wishes were horses, beggars will ride .

Despite Israel repeatedly pounding the shiiit out of Iran with little or no consequence, see the kind wishful thinking u still dey type.

U get hope pass Job o. Even the things wey Khameni know say his Iran no fit do sef, u get believe say dem go do am

Ibime:
They will just copy and paste a 40 character string to book space

This is just failure of moderation. He should have a moderator whose job is to clean front page topics in real time

This advise is coming like 5 years late. It is something that should've happened long time ago before they destroyed the politics section and front page

iamoyindamola:
It doesn't work that way, people are already dropping reason it won't work which is very valid
This guy should rest and stop shoving some lame policies on us

Did u see anywhere I claimed whether it will work or not?

I only gave possible reason behind the introduction of the limit, I didn't give an opinion whether it will work or not.

Ibime:
My guy is on Twitter talking about he is worried that AI will replace human friendships and "emotional dependence on software". Na the same robotic mind he use talk that thing na him use put this 40 character limit

From now on, when any Chelsea players scores. I will type 40 CHARACTER LIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! instead of GOAL!

I think the 40 character limit is an attempt to crush the "space bookers" who would post an emoji or just a word to book space on promising topics,only for them to modify with Gba takes when the topic makes it to Front Page. Dem plenty like that for politics section. They would book space at the early stage of the thread and then modify to write tribal or insulting posts when the topic is on front page and visible to the whole world. Maybe it is his own way of cleansing the forum sha.

I guess he thinks anybody who want to drop a quality comment/opinion should be able to come up with at least 40 word character to express themselves

nihilistjnr:
LordAdam will come and say it's just a scratch, why didn't they bomb the bus stop and the roundabout near Ayatollahs house if e sure for Israel.

Na coping mechanism na 😂.

Even if Israel off the whole Iranian generals , dem go still “shame” Israel for not being strong enough to take out the Ayatollah along with the generals if they are as strong as they claim to be

Ballzproblem2:
The entire western leaders may fake concerns by morning but they thankful secretly, Israel has more balls than all the countries combine.

As for Hamas and Palestinians better start to wrap up lol.

Two state out of window no thanks to sinwar rat.

Next biblical prophecy,gog and Magog ,will elaborate further.

Try Dey give us update on who and who has dropped dead in the Iranian military .

Post links of confirmed hits Israel has carried out and confirmed list of Iranian generals that have dropped dead thus far .

Ibime:
Allow me enjoy your goof in peace.

You have been defying my theory about art students with your brilliant posts, but I knew one day breeze would blow and foul nyash will open and today is that day.

Away from the jokes, there's some explanations to be done as to how the guy actually survived.

The video of the crash I saw on the internet, there was just some few seconds between when the plane went down and when there was a big explosion. Are we to believe the moment the plane crashed, the guy had the presence of mind to escape through the emergency doors and walked out of the crash scene before the plane exploded?

In the bide of the survivor walking I saw, the guy was holding his smartphone. I mean this guy jumped or walked off a plane crash scene and he had his phone intact on his hands? 😲

I believe in a matter of days' time, we will get a clearer gist of what actually happened and how the guy was able to survive.

Amigoss:
Lool I saw this as I wanted to post when I'm lost in thought, sometimes I think there is somebody out there in the middle of no where,in a rain forest or deserts that can't reconnect to the outside world...

Ibime no wan agree say there are somethings that defy logic,human reasoning and Newton's law

Leave him, let him be fighting imaginary war of Science vs Non science student in his head.

Ibime:
You just showed your MassCom credentials

Who jumps out of a vehicle moving at close to 300km/hr and won't get obliterated by his forward momentum

He jumped out after the plane had crash and come to a stop

I am seeing many MassCom students misconstruing that statement as him jumping from a moving plane that close to ground. Simple Newtons first law will stop them from making such a goof

Try jumping down from bus moving at just 30kmhr let me see whether you won't snap your ACL and chop asphalt and most likely die

The plane crashed in seconds, he didn't have time for all that, besides you can't just open plan door like that

I saw a video of the plane crashing and bursting into flames.

I don't know at what point he jumped off, but I'm saying whatever time he jumped off he was extremely lucky because he could've tried to jump fall awkwardly.

All those megefege wey u cap up there about Newton law and momentum, e concern u and Ur god Fenibeso. 😏

Amigoss:
Looking at all this variables,no be baba time at all....

I swear,This is one thing about Nigerian churches,so insensitive....The other day, Adeboye was bragging about redeemites having special grace,that the gas fire incident that happened at otedola bridge which burnt cars ,houses but their church in the midst of them all was not touched...

Nothing concern most naija men of God about being sensitive to other people's plight.

I watched the video of the CAC general overseer and he spoke truth to power about insensitivity on the path of most naija Christians.

He said it is totally insensitive for you as a Christian to be praying thanking God and u say " we thank God for good health ; many are the in the hospital but we thank God we are not in the hospital ". He said can't u just thank God and move on without referring to those in the hospital in that manner? He said the funny thing is that Ur church service may be streamed online and someone on hospital bed will be watching that particular clip where u were making such Insensitive Thanksgiving prayer. So should the person feel bad and ungrateful to God for being bedridden?

TemporaryHansel:
Nigerian Twitter is a sewer.
A swirling pit of negativity, bitterness, and trauma bonding. Most users there aren’t just online, they’re emotionally damaged.
Pair it with Black American Twitter and you’ve got the perfect cocktail of dysfunction.
Two digital neighborhoods where healing goes to die and toxicity gets a standing ovation.

As in..... It's not a place one can spend most of the time online, if not u will just find urself fully involved in the whole bitterness going on there.
