Proudly Lukumi Yoruba—we are not just another Africans!

If these Falcons are not careful,they will be bundled out of the tournament by the Zambian ladies.

Pacesetter123:
Then in that case too,it wouldn't have been possible for one of the pilots to pull out the switch board and switch it off without the 2nd pilot seeing it or knowing about it.
They are in same cockpit and doing the same checks just as you have said.
So how come one of the pilots is asking the other one why he switched off the fuel supply?
Was he not in the same cockpit with him before and during the takeoff?

There was then confusion in the cockpit. In the voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why he "cut off". The other pilot responds that he did not do so.

Whoever asked that question between the two pilots knew the fuel supply system was ON before they took off! Like I said initially, the pre-flight checklist is a mandatory procedure — the flight captain wouldn’t have taken the aircraft into the air without confirming that everything was in order. I'm not outright dismissing your submission, but I'm only saying it’s unlikely that the pilots would have neglected such an important procedure as the pre-flight checklist.

SouthSouth1914:
Maybe they were never put ON from
The aircraft’s last flight! This like turning off your fuel switch on generators. But it will start in the next time you put it ON. But will go off after some some seconds because the fuel switch wasn’t turned ON for flow of fuel.

The maintenance crew of that aircraft should be investigated, to get to know the truth. There might be an important person or two in that aircraft who people of interests to other people, there is a conspiracy!

Just my personal opinion.

As much as I would like to agree with your line of reasoning, I find it almost impossible to believe that the Captain and First Officer of the ill-fated Indian flight simply forgot to switch on the fuel pump. This is because there is a mandatory pre-flight procedure that must be performed before takeoff—commonly referred to as the pre-flight checklist or before-start checklist.

Pilots rely on these standardized checklists to ensure that all necessary procedures are completed and that systems are properly configured before flight, as well as during all other critical phases such as takeoff, cruise, descent, and landing. While the specific checklist items may vary slightly depending on the aircraft type, the overall process is an essential and rigorously followed safety protocol.

Given this, I strongly believe that the flight captain would have reviewed and confirmed all necessary systems with the First Officer before departure. A typical exchange in the cockpit might go as follows:

Captain: Battery switches?
First Officer: ON

Captain: Fuel pumps?
First Officer: ON

Captain: APU?
First Officer: ON and available

Based on this standard operating procedure, it seems highly unlikely that they would have forgotten to switch on the fuel supply system.

Lagos,my Lagos — A wa gangan l'omo Eko! If you can't withstand the heat,then get out of the kitchen! Remember,the kitchen is where all the "Orishirishi" is cooked!

Nigeria is endowed with all it takes to surpass even the United States. The late President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, once alluded to this potential in one of his notable speeches. Yet, poor governance and maladministration—driven by a corrupt system and self-serving politicians—have continued to hold the nation back.

The truth remains: Nigeria must succeed for the Black race, globally, to flourish. The destiny of the Black man is inextricably linked to Nigeria’s progress and success. That is the undeniable truth.

It is a tragic anomaly for Nigeria to be counted among nations subject to sanctions or restrictions by any country—this is not her destiny.

All these attempts to normalize criminality in Yoruba land by some never-do-well from the land of primitive, forest-dwelling ancestors will be fiercely resisted.

Computer village,Alaba, and Ladipo,e go be for you guys very soon! Nobody will tell a blind man that it's about raining — hin go feel am when e start nah!

kpankpangolo:
The guy well so? UK that has many fat white women praying for his type to fulfill their needs. When village people catch your signal, nothing can be done.

Who told you this, man? Take it from me— sex is not only scarce in the UK,but it's quite expensive. No "fat white women" praying for anything, man!

Super Falcons rising star, Omorinsola Babajide playing at her first women's senior tournament gave Nigeria a comfortable 2-0 lead in the first half.
A former English International at U-21 level, she made her Nigeria debut in October 2023.

Babajide also delivered a fine assist for Asisat Oshoala's first goal against Tunisia in the ongoing WAFCON tournament in Casablanca, Morocco.

Babajide, a Liverpool fan played for the Liverpool Women FC from 2018-2022, struck the Diogo Jota trademark celebration in honour of Liverpool's No 20 who alongside his brother died in a car crash last Thursday.

What's the final score line? Omorinsola is a perfect example of beauty and brain!

It will be a huge disappointment if this tournament is not aired by Nigerian television stations— a setback for female football development.

Believeintruth:
You guys are so desperate now you want to use emotional blackmail against igbos to pitch them against the north. Nice try bros look for another scope that can stick.

It's a pity — you Igbo never seem to learn. For how long will you continue swimming in political naivety? From Azikiwe to Obi, you still haven't learned anything!

Now, "we" are the ones trying to pitch the Igbos against the North, right? When I see comments like yours here, I can't help but agree with those who believe there's a serious lack of intelligent discourse coming from the South East.

Anyway, you people always seem to learn the hard way — you almost appear to enjoy it! I must admit, I admire the passion with which you support whatever cause you believe in, but unfortunately for you, it always ends in tears.

Trust me, 2027 and the ADC brouhaha won't be any different. We shall see!

Only if they (the Igbo) knew—Northerners will NEVER work toward the emergence of an Igbo presidency in Nigeria—it won't happen! If Peter Obi gets the coalition's (ADC) ticket to contest the 2027 presidential election, I will deactivate my NL account. It's all about returning power to the North in 2027 for the Northerners. The likes of Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, etc., are merely pawns on the chessboard.

The interesting part is that the Northerners are up against a formidable opponent in President Tinubu. Unlike former President Jonathan, Tinubu can't be intimidated—he won’t cave in. It is political naivety of the highest order for any Igbo man or woman to believe, or even think, that El-Rufai and Co. would ever support Obi to become President of Nigeria!

Tinubu is several miles ahead of his opponents—or should I say his adversaries. He will win the 2027 presidential election.

Tell us which stations will be showing it— it's important.

Which station is showing it? It will be too bad if no station is showing a tournament of such magnitude.

After North, it's East — developers' region!

If you desire peace of mind,which I personally consider as the ultimate,go for the first lady— you won't regret it. As for the second lady,the GenZ vibe is a red flag and if you're not Igbo yourself,run away from her!

Oh.....I get it now! This thing is why the Igbo are called "Aje'okuta ma mumi"— people who eat stone without drinking water!

Omoluabi to the world! Yet another first for the great Omo Oduduwa!

May your soul rest in peace,Dodo-mayana! He was the best goalkeeper that ever came out of Nigeria. The closest to him is Vincent Eyeama.

Adele05:
The circumstances around this accident need to be investigated. I don't trust any woman.

Exactly my thoughts!

Akpakomiza2:
The only thing that can stop Tinubu is eve Atiku and obi pair and kwankwaso join them or Gej contests or buhari publicly endorses the coalition or most APC governors and stakeholders up north join coalition

It's a bit complicated. Let's consider this scenario: Atiku as the presidential candidate and Obi as the vice president. What happens to the remaining four years of southern presidency? Trust me, this could cause serious unrest in the country, as the majority of southerners strongly disapprove of the Northerners' "born to rule" tendency or their claim of ownership over Nigeria. This will be seen and interpreted by many people in the South as an attempt to further dominate the political landscape and power of Nigeria by the North.

Second scenario: Obi as the presidential candidate and Atiku as what? Vice president? That’s constitutionally impossible! Besides, Atiku would never agree to be Obi’s vice. Remember, even Kwankwaso declined to be Peter Obi’s running mate.

Note this down: it’s both personal and regional interests that will tear the ADC coalition apart.

Akpakomiza2:
While some northerners want power back in 2027, some know it is the turn of the south while some are neutral. Some will rather support Tinubu till 2031 when it is purely northern affair

Again, I agree with you. The truth is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tinubu will complete his eight-year tenure as President of Nigeria. You see the newly formed ADC—it will never work, head or tail; Tinubu still wins! Whether Atiku emerges as the party flag bearer or Peter Obi does (though I strongly doubt this), there will always be some obstacle preventing either of them from defeating Tinubu. As for Peter Obi, he has no chance—the North will never accept the emergence of an Igbo President of Nigeria. This may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. Let’s wait and see.

Akpakomiza2:
That is why I said Tinubu will complete his tenure

I agree with you on this.

Playing politics with the people's lives — northern politicians are always desperate for power!
