Ho Ho Ho Ho...your comments are very funny.

CFCfan: Aviation Minister Stella Oduah is seeking presidential approval to hand over the management of airports infrastructure to a Chinese firm. In an April 4 memo to President Goodluck Jonathan titled “Proposed management structure for international airports and perishable terminal in Nigeria,” Mrs Oduah made the case for the Chinese takeover.

In another memo, also of April 4, the minister informed the Presidency about the registration of “Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited” as Nigeria’s national carrier.

The minister identified Fraport AG Airport Services Worldwide (“FRAPORT”) a Chinese firm, which it described as a reputable international airport operator, as the preferred contractor.

But, according to sources, due process was not followed before “Madam Minister unilaterally decided to give the job to Fraport AG”.

The memo said that the Ministry of Aviation has already entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FRAPORT for potential cooperation in airport operations, management and development of airport related services.

The minister noted that the ministry worked on the extensive remodeling and reconstruction of 11 domestic and internati

“In addition to the on-going airport remodeling and reconstruction, Government recently entered into agreement with Chinese investors for the construction of state-of-the-art terminals at the four major international airports in Nigeria.”

The MoU, according to the minister, was signed because of the need “to guarantee the proper maintenance of the remodelled and new airport terminals and facilities to the highest international standards, in order to safeguard government’s investments in the airport infrastructure as well as ensure the sustainability of government’s effort at transforming the sector.”

Besides the ministry’s MoU with FRAPORT “for potential cooperation in airport operations, management and development of airport related services, FARPORT is to consider training Federal Airports Authorit of Nigeria (FAAN) employees “to deepen local capacity and ensure on-the-job transfer of management expertise in a through and sustainable manner.

The memo said: “It is proposed that FRAPORT will provide its services in collaboration with local private companies to further ensure the effective transfer of their specialist management skills, work ethics and technology to capable Nigerians firms.

“It is also proposed that FRAPORT will receive management fees as a negotiated percentage of revenue derived from the airports and terminals under management. All other terms of their engagement will be contained in a carefully negotiated management contract, with the expectation that in the not too distant future our local Nigerian companies and expertly re-trained FAAN staff will eventually take over management of our airport facilities to same international standards set by FRAPORT.”

The memo on registration of a national carrier is titled “implementing the establishment of a Nigeria national carrier (passenger and cargo).”

Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited is described as the vehicle for realising the dreams and aspirations of the Nigerian people for establishing a national carrier.”

The memo said its shares are held in trust.

Among other benefits, it said that Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited would ensure sustainable transparency, good corporate governance and accountability in running a national carrier.

These, it said, would eliminate the factors that led to the demise of Nigerian Airways and arrest the dominance of foreign airlines on Nigerian routes and its attendant capital flight, estimated at over N300 billion per annum.

It said that Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited would enable Nigeria reciprocal equitably on the BASA routes, enhance the development of Abuja/Lagos as regional air transport hubs and strengthen the Nigerian aviation sector to play the expected pivotal role in national economic development.

It said that Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited would create up to 100,000 additional direct and indirect jobs and enhance the rapid development of national aerotropolis projects.

It said that the ministry had engaged renowned consultants PriceWaterhouseCoopers to work with identified private sector investors, with a mandate of ensuring the launch of Nigeria 1 Aviation Limited not later than the third quarter of 2013.

“I am pleased to report that the Federal Ministry of Aviation is on track to achieve the projected launch date” it said.

Like play like play,chinese ppeople go overide our economy patapata.India is already dominating telecoms,Now chinese aviation.South Africa, Consumables,what else..Just allow america to take over our military too....chei.Naija my kontry.

Afam4eva: I doubt if the woman actually beat two police officers as been painted in the article. I guess she was just making trouble and shoving the police women. Where will one woman have the power to beat one police woman let alone two. If the police women were to decend on her the way they normally do, this would have been a case of "police brutality" and the woman would have been giving own account from Igbobi general hospital. I think the police women should be hailed for not towing the path of shame.

Oga Afam,dalu o.see naija people.If to say the policewomen carry dia ikeja or Jos police college training handle the woman,Nairaland page for don near 100 pages.People go begin shout "Police Brutality".My people get double mouth no be small.However,why be say na small pikin wey dey hawk d'police women was flex muscles?.Dat one na environmental task force work for lagos .Na long throat cause d'katakata and if i be judge,i go say make dem force d'woman wash detention center cells for 1 week as punishment.Therefore equation balance.

I hope this woman didnt kill herself probably becos she discovered something about her health which she couldnt divulge.Haba,even if its HIV,its still manageable and she could even live longer than most HIV negative people.This is my suspicion.

There's one advert often seen on ETv...FirstforWomen insurance. I detest the advert so much as it relegates men to be nothing bunch of s.tu.p.ids Yet they expect the husbands to be a darling and help foot their wives insurance bills.

Dude,that was one of the funniest radio adverts.I could remember one day I was at the pharmacy shop trying to buy antibiotics when one SE man came in.He looked distressed and weak while I would never forget his request that day.
SE man- "auntie,biko,em there is this anti malaria,chei,as my body dey,and I don forget the name"
"Pharmacist attendant-"ok sir,but can recollect the color of the pack and probably any name printed on the pack at all?
"SE man-" emm,chei,no I can't,but dem dey play d advertisment for radio,where one man dey sing ,"malaria own e don pafuka,malaria own don pafuka
We all burst out laughing except the man cos yours truly,he was ill.

Ho ho ho...this is what I call 'family arrangee'.The man's son or brother would be helping him to 'service' the young babe,chikena

Besides stormy winds which often end up blowing off roofs of houses,nothing else go shele.We don't have Hurricanes in West Africa.

Naijas,wetin dey worry all of una for open domain? Playmode,collynz,etc,haba..and all those yeye flat noses dey log on and off dey read all of una posts how u dey yab yaselves...shuo!
Tomorrow,this small kids go return begin yab us ALL together like say we be nothing.
Playmode,if your house no settle,na on top internet you go come open your own people yansh Or you think say when kasala burst,dem go stamp u say u be southy?you get point but you too dey talk like small girl.
Magnificat and collynzo,you guys should sheath your swords.from all indications,it seems there are proofs to confirm the murderers 'na our won people'.therefore,make we rest am.
As painful and shameful this incidents have turn out to be,let's collectively call our peopple to order.I don't support tribal bashing for any reason.As there are igbos and yorubas and other naijas murking our images abroad,so likewise are those elevating our images too.

texanomaly: I don't believe God cares what you wear, as long as you go. I believe it is a matter of respect though. I have enough respect for God to dress respectfully. My opinion of what is respectful my differ from someone else.

Shall we attend the next church service together my dear.And this time,you are to wear just the new see through PJ I'll buy for you,since it doesn't matter 'you' wear to church.

Flirtyfemi: It appears Pastor Chris Okotie has opened his heart to Love again despite his unusual love stories with women.

Stella Dimokokorkus says:

"Her name is Delphine and she worships God in another popular church in Lagos. She just got a brand new car love gift from her pastor friend and the word got out.

In this photo, those who know the pastor's house in and out, please look at the curtains very well and you will know who I mean, keep starring at the pink curtains! Hopefully she will step into the wifely shoes soon. I wish them all the best,they are so beautiful...chewing bitter leaf and waiting for press release to deny..."

Lol, Stella is such a clown! But seriously, he sure has a thing for light complexioned women if Stella's report is true!

Ho ho ho..Okotie and light skinned women!

gbokukueba: So you are isolating your husband from his fellow Nigerians so that you are your filty tokolos tsotsi will kill him for his properties... you should be ashamed of yourself... Uthanda ipipi elikhulu Ngquza enukayo

Ol boy,abeg no too vex...I know the lady use to be
harsh and virile in her post against Nigerians as a
whole on nairaland,but her recent posts seemed
to bear a change in personality,watching
though!!!
You've been hurt just as most of us had,but
perhaps,let's give peace a chance and we might
reach an amicable solutions and make posts here
the world could really see us Nigerians as
hospitable people.Although that is not to say we
can't be barbaric is they so desire us to be.
By the way,How's KZN? I still feel you guys need
to be careful there,with JUJU malema and his
people in limpopo...election is near won't mind
seeking for 'trophies' to win the poor and illiterate
peoples hearts.
One love bro

collynzo2: Well the same way Nigerians are qualified to visit and live in South Africa same as you.
Anyway I am happy HIV can't be spread through the internet, I'd have been scared with all the South Africans here.

@collynzo,pls bro tone it down.This guy is matured in his approach and well,its obvious he's an ardent reader on nairaland.
@M..welcome.Nigerians are good people and we are from a great nation,however polluted by sick and selfish people in government,just as in every other african countries.However,permit me as a person to say that if you encounter or experience hatred or name calling here on this forum,we as foreigners in your country have suffered same and worse.Your people call us MKs for Makwerekwere (meaning stupid monkey),grigrimba,etc.
I was introduced to this nairaland by a fellow Nigerian also working and residing in SA,and the magnitude of hatred you see here is just a direct reflection of our peoples way of hitting back.Try not to take much offence though.
Back to the topic,You are right when you say Nigerians don't want to accept fellow naijas did this. I mean check news report across the globe,its not heard as much elsewhere as it is in SA.
Once anything bad happens in SA and the people caught and 'darker in complexion' over 90 percent of comment from your online bloggers on sowetanlive and IOL is pointing at "Naija Makweres" borrowing a derogatory terms from black saffers.
I for one still doubt this is a naija on naija war...but only with cogent proofs would make me accept. Honestly,its not only baffling but also aggressively annoying.
Perhaps you have a pointer to your ascertions why you think the hit is naija on naija war.
I'll be waiting

As I expected.Ops,thanks for bringing the news on nairaland.I was reading the newspaper 'sunday world' when I saw the headline, "Nigerias are Targets".It caught my attention and before I could finish,my saffer babe could notice my uneasiness (boiling point).All she could do is ask me to take it easy when she saw the headline that got me glues to the paper.I left her angrily.
How could the cops prior to investigation declare this is a case of Nigerians attacking Nigerians?.This is a clear case of "A Hit"...5 occupants,4 singled out, one left.Couuld the one be a Nigerians or another nationality?.I'm dazed,angry,but who is to blame

Find a way to get a visa to the uk,

*faint on the street in a busy shopping center
* ambulance gets you
* doctors finds out you have other serious problems

Tell them to ask the British Embassy in Nigeria, you paid already!

chikena!!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho Ofone ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

Abegii make dem shift

Gbully: kalu do u think dat the mind is nt sound enough to tell nigerians on going on of dat incident? Dats one thing abt we nigerians, we dnt seems to ask why unless it concerns us personally, nigerians here in bloemfontein re asking who killed Obi ( a.k.a Chief) and why? Over 10 years i ve known him personaly, I ve not heard or seen him in trouble watsoever, gentle is just how u summerised his character,Already the investigators re working in collaboration wit the nigerian community here.we see how it goes at the end. like I said I will let u people know how it goes, ,meanwhile his corpse will leave next week to lagos, I dnt know when becos I couldnt go for the nigerian association meeting where the date was fix.

Ok..keep us posted sha.

biolabee: nadia he has provided details using names and places
why would you still doubt him

Thanks bro.

worldtraveller: Yes we have learnt out lesson, baptism of fire for real. Don't worry, I will not be setting foot in that country again. There are plenty other beautiful places in the world to visit, shop and do business with. My friends can do as they wish but I won't be going back.

Well its your choice.But what about the numerous people living here and facing all sorts??Whats the guarantee where you go may not have an unpleasant experience in a different dimension?But all the same,i know the feeling.Just get over it and enjoy your holiday(s).

Rossikk: I wonder what Obama thinks of this.. It certainly sends a message... The US president's plane has barely left the African airspace before the leader of the continent's 2nd biggest economy embarks on a five-day state visit to China.

It sends all sorts of messages.

Ho ho ho!!! I got what you mean....Obama and his arm twisting diplomacy should "park well"

Now thats one igbo boy making us proud.Ol boy keep waxing kerry's...*ahem* you know what i mean.

(EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO US) WE WERE ENCOURAGED NOT TO REPORT THE CRIME BY THE POLICE! WAS THIS TO KEEP THE NUMBERS LOW?[/b]


I WISH WE HAD DONE OUR HOMEWORK AND INVESTIGATED BEFORE TRAVELLING. I WOULD HAVE JUST CAUGHT THE TRAIN.[/quote]Some people have shared their experiences too.next time,either you ask the hotle where you will be staying to assist you with transportation from the airpprt to the hotel.Or another way is to seek assistance from NL,from folks who could pick you up to your destination.It will cost you a little but at least you will arrive safe.Just my offer of advise.Stay blessed and don't be ruffled.Be wiser the more next time.

[quote author=nadia_SA]Lol it really is..
Read it thoroughly ul c..[/quote]Our wife,there's always a robbery story at least a week on travellers,not only Nigerians,departing from O.R Tambo. Even at the airport luggages gets badly tampered with or outright missing.

kgr28: bullshit, your story is fuccked up, in SA you took a taxi from a hotel?? You where robbed on the HIGHWAY?? in joburg on the HIGHWAY?? You were intercepted Like in the movies?? FVCK YOU MAN, YOU JUST CREATED A STORY DICKHEAD!

Hey,are you sure you are not sick? What's with all the 'FVCK' you always posting here everytime on nairaland?

worldtraveller: We just got back from Johannesburg, it was an awful experience. We were robbed at gunpoint by 4 South Africans, they had followed our taxi from the hotel. We believe the taxi driver was in on it as when we checked out from the hotel, he stopped at a petrol station to buy petrol - its likely he stopped at the petrol station so the robbers could tail us. 2 mins before we were intercepted by the robbers on the highway the driver took a phone call. All our belongings, cash, phones, passports, laptops, jewellery was taken. My friend had the gun pointed at him the entire time and he threatened to shoot us if we resisted. The worst thing out of all of this was when we got to the police station, the police told us we shouldn't report the crime since we were not South African and did not have a South African phone number. We waited hours before a statement was taken and even at that the policeman said he was doing us a favour by taking a statement.

Eh ah,sorry.Your first experience was actually baptism of fire.Go to Travel section and read experiences on South Africa from there.Thank God you are safe.No one Is spared,even South Africans are not.
