This is heart rending, mods should learn to regulate, the pictures of certain tragedies as a respect to grieving families.
A cursory disclaimer is not enough to get away from being sued for the psychological trauma inflicted.
I advise that the pictures showing any bodies be removed.
Lalasticlala please kindly note.

No Bro, you are getting this whole thing wrong- the naija guy thought every black is a democrat as CNN made everyone living outside America to believe - so guy man thinks if he talks down Trump - he will get some sympathy and friendship from her not knowing all black are not in the democrat plantation

Exactly, the lady is a hard core Republican.
She said Obama is the worst president ever, that shows you how deeply routed she is.

Officialgarri:
Instead of stylishly giving the glory to CCECC and overhyping the airport because it's in Enugu, why not swallow your pride and give the glory to the real government that made it happen

Remember, y'all blamed the government for temporarily shutting down the airport

Y'all blamed the government for not completing the renovation in a single day

If not hypocrisy, then you should still mention the government here as usual instead of a chinese company

It shows you are absolutely totally ignorant about the construction history.
The international terminal building you see in the picture has not changed since this government came in place.
Every brick you see was by the previous government under Stella Oduah.
What has been done by the current minister was refurbishment/expansion of the runway, with night time lighting and ILS(new one still to be fully installed), and even after shutting the airport for a year it still hasn't been completed. Mind you this is just a 3 km runway with no taxi lane.

Dis Man Is Spewing Nonsense Out Of His Mouth. Rev Or Whatever He Call Himself Is A Foolish Person & He Is Not Worthy To Lead D Congregation. If Virginity Is Not A Gift, What Is It Den? Does He Think God Is A Fool 4 Making & Sealing Dat In Women? Does He Even Know D Significance Of It? So, He Is Indirectly Encourage Promiscuity, Sexual Immorality & Fornication. I Know Dat Sexually Lose People Won't See Anything Meaningful In Dis.

Please read the whole article.
Never read the headline alone and jump to make comment unless you will get it all wrong.
He NEVER encouraged immortality, rather he said virginity/purity shouldn't be just for women but for men as well, and should be a gift unto God rather than just unto man.

Sad news indeed.
What kind of disjointed write up is this, non chronological and very hard to make out the facts.

flyingpig:
Igbo leaders between 2005-2015 when PDP held sway will be the first to receive blames here.
Fuel depot in Enugu that serves SE zone had been moribund ever since 2005, but nothing was done to return it to full capacity, until you guys exited the scene in 2015. The large Igbo populace will now blame Buhari for this predicament, not knowing where the rain actually began to beat them.

It still doesn't absolve Buhari from his responsibility of cartering for all Nigerians and bringing that depot back to life or situate a new standard depot in Anambra, Abia or Ebonyi.


By the way, SE leaders during PDP days were scum International Airport zero, Niger bridge zero, this one zero, federal roads in the zone; zero.

We need to change our orientation that produces those who represent us in the federal level, and task ministers appointed from our zone to represent us well and leave lasting legacies in our zone.

Las las, Stella Oduah, Pius Anyim, big shame on you lot. Only Onyebuchi Chukwu had any iota of sense and patriotism in him.

This your see saw argument has no basis, none of the infrastructure you pointed out has changed. What has changed is the increase in fuel prices which makes the lack of depot bite harder.
Or are you saying the depot should not be looked into because it wasn't working under PDP, thus APC has no obligation to fix it.

This is an encouraging story, Nigerians are indeed hardworking and with appropriate incentives we can achieve a lot.

Do you think the guy will still have energy to even start devising ways to dodge the elephant after the beast must have manhandled him?

The guy was not staying down because it was his strategy.

The guy has been completely knocked out.

But he still got up and left, so how was he knocked out completely.

Brachaa:
Beast of burden
Beast of burden
Beast of burden

Stay outta my way
Hand it over now

Im ma come and get you
I'm ma come and get you

Stay away
Stay away.. Lol...


Who's that man making the hell of a noise in the background with the "farapeh"? And why was the attacked guy acting dead instead of taking to his heels? That beast could have crushed him. That was a great risk.

Sounds like they are from ivory coast though.

The noise maker was instrumental in saving the boy by distracting the elephant and giving the correct instructions.
You cannot outrun an elephant, and it may let up if it feels you are not a threat, running suddenly will usually not be good if it is already on you.

bluefilm:
Playing dead is equally bad.

The elephant will just stamp you to death.

According to Mr. Bear Grylls of Ultimate Survival, your best move is to time it very well and wait for the elephant to come to you, then you dive or jump aside.

He says elephants have good sense of smell but not so good eyesight.

So once you are clear of its view, your chances of making it to safety is slightly increased.

The elephant was already on him so no chance he could outrun it.
Staying down was the best move at that point, the elephant no longer saw him as a threat and diverted its attention to the bicycle, then he was able to get away.
A mistimed run would have been disastrous.

GamalNasser:
Play dead was what saved his life , any attempt to run when the elephant considered him a threat and he will be dead..No human alive can outrun even the laziest elephant

Thank you so much.
Finally someone with some knowledge of animal behaviour.

Nice pictures

Just wondering if this is this against their religion?

backbone503:
You're just trying to defend the indefensible. Let me ask you this: If this PMB (APC) led govt (having a northerner as Aviation minister) hasn't found it necessary to give that airport a facelift, who would you blame for the neglect and dilapidation of the Enugu Airport?

Nothing indefensible here, you played the ethnic card by saying the aviation ministers neglected the airport.
I corrected that notion, by letting you know that the decision was above their pay grade.
And making it clear that the airport status as international only came to fruition under GEJ.
The neglect is still there cause even after over a year of closure it is not complete.
Abuja took 3 months for a runway expansion and terminal, Kaduna took less.

COMPAQ:
The main reason for the closure was the runway. I believe since that is 100% complete, the airport can open while other civil works on the building et al continue.

Night landing equipment is not fully installed, and drainage is not completed.

These pictures are not encouraging

We have a long way to go in this country

backbone503:
But Kema Chikwe, Fidelia Njeze, Stella Oduah, Osita Chidoka were Ministers of Aviation between 1999 - 2015. Do South Easterners still require an oracle to tell who their enemies are?

But who was president?
Or do you think the minister has the sole power to convert an airport to international?
Who will fund the project?
Stop and think objectively.

The airport got its first ever runway expansion to take wide bodied aircraft and automatic ILS, under GEJ with Stella Oduah as minister hence its conversion to international.
She started the international terminal building up to 50% completion,which has not seen a single brick laid on it since 2015.

This is a runway refurbishment which should actually be routine for every airport periodically, it was only done because ET cried out.

Even though it took over 365 days its is still incomplete, recall that Abuja which is much bigger took only 3 months for a fresh runway, terminal and Kaduna even took shorter to complete the refurbishment.

Omotaday:
Everybody is overrated to some ppl, Neymar, Mbappe, Di maria, just because of a match.

Shior!

I tire, some people are funny

FBS:
Hahahaha. One chance is all you need to score. Bayern so business like.

PSG have 30 mins to respond.

They have had other chances, not just this one

All these people shouting PSG missed chances as if Bayern no miss chances as well.
Besides how can one score without creating chances.
Goal is equal to converted chance.

Why is the state government providing funds to refurbish toilet facilities and roads in a federal airport that has hundreds of millions allegedly allocated for its upgrade?

It seems the FG is totally uncommitted to actually refurbishing this airport.

Not a single brick has been laid on the international terminal since the so called upgrade.
And after being shutdown for a year the runway is barely ready

I has become categorically clear that this is the most corrupt democratic regime.

A direct consequence of failed government policies.

BabaOwen:
This is a very good news.

Even though GMB has been failing woefully in security, fight against corruption and power, he is still the best Nigeria president since 1999

I guess you are being sarcastic.
Add the economy as part of his woeful failures.
Ushered us into recession once he took over and has left us there.

A305:
Well, Applauding her doesn't make sense to me; She only did the right thing otherwise, the huge sum would eventually be traced back to her anyway and if she had touched the money, she knows the consequences - This was why she acted cute.


The law scared her to morality.

Story
Seems you haven't had any experience with misplaced payments.
Trust me, more people get away with it than not.

PROUDIGBO:
This is the current state of AIIA, Enugu, that was closed down for a year on the 'excuse' they want to fix the runway and add night-time landing facilities. Remember when Sirika closed down Abuja airport to fix its runway, everything was done and dusted in a little over a month....and he also codedly used the opportunity to do up Kaduna airport nicely and upgrade its status to INTERNATIONAL!

Remember all peoples and regions are supposed to be equal in this country! Remember we all have equal ownership to the countrys' commonwealth that is now dispproportinately being used fix the north-west while the south-east and its peoples are treated as second-class!

Just look at the unkempt surroundings of a airport they've closed down for a year, and which is due to reopen in about two weeks time! See the ugly open gutter Sirika is giving us in this 21st century when underground drainage is meant to be the standard. That ugly looking gutter and bushy surroundings is the result of the 10 billion naira Buhari 'graciously' approved for upgrade works at AIIA. Remember they didn't touch the new terminal that's now being left to rot, and i'm sure they haven't done much in the old terminal....like improve the airconditioning so we don't bake while checking in or waiting for our luggage.

I hope those of you who wonder why i despise this country can now begin to understand my position!

Very sad situation

Is it that the international terminal has been permanently abandoned?
1 year to asphalt a 3km runway
The FG is obviously not committed to the project

Digitron:
The reason why Enugu city alone account for 80% of our IGR is because successive administrations abandoned the rural areas and focused on the city center.

We must invest aggressively in the rural areas so that light industries can spring up in these places thereby creating jobs and increasing the state revenue.

With over 250km of rural roads currently ongoing in various parts of the state, ugwuanyi is poised to give the rural dwellers a sense of belonging.

I do not advocate for neglect on either side.
I'm just talking about priorities.
I sincerely think the flaunting of the rural renaissance by Ugwuanyi is an offshoot of the outcry of poor maintenance of the capital which is glaring.
His ready excuse is "it is time for rural areas".
Yet he hasn't done any better in the rural areas.

Enugu to Portharcourt is not even up to 250km, and the FG has been struggling with it ( yes it is a trunk A dual carriage), where are the phantom 250km rural roads?

Etinosa1234:
So no one realise that the Op created this thread on March 11

Op which jazz u dey use abeg

He obviously modified the post

Digitron:
Lol, the "Bushman' is spearheading a rural revolution in Enugu state and we are happy with that.

The culture of concentrating 80% of government spending on a tiny Enugu city has ended for good.

Rural revolution
Please let us keep sycophancy at bay.
It is degrading to human character.
If we ever wish to progress as a people we must learn to be objective.
"Tiny Enugu city" accounts for 1 out of 4 of the state's population and perhaps over 80% of the state's tax income revenue, so it should always have priority.
That is the reality of the state.

PROUDIGBO:
That park has been there and left natural since colonial times or the time of Dr Okpara.....one of the two! It has seen off many civilian and military governors and administrators, yet managed to survive unscathed (which is a wonder in itself seeing just how much we value the environment in this part of the world)! Then Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi came along, and the rest is history!

It goes to show how clueless and classless he is.

Erecting ugly concrete structures in a place that should be left as pristine as possible.
Meanwhile neglecting other places that need,attention.
If he wanted to upgrade that place he should have asked for professional advice but in my opinion that place is best left untouched.
