The former governor of Kaduna state Ramalan Yero is said to be the worst governor Kaduna or Nigeria in general ever had, but at least the city of Kaduna looks clean then, as at yesterday see what the central business district of Kaduna looks like. Gov El Rufai is doing the opposite of what he did in Abuja.

(CNN)— Traveling through Nigeria's Port Harcourt International Airport any time soon?
Sorry for your luck.
The African terminal received the unfortunate distinction of being named "world's worst airport" in 2015 by travel website The Guide to Sleeping in Airports.
This year's survey, which asked fliers to identify the world's worst and best aviation terminals, attracted 26,297 qualifying responses.
Despite the site's name, airports weren't just rated according to how easy it is to take a nap while inside them.
Sleeping in Airports' readers were asked to judge facilities in four categories: comfort, conveniences, cleanliness and customer service.
What landed Port Harcourt at the top of the pile?
Respondents reportedly complained about unpleasant and unhelpful staff, alleged corruption, a severe lack of seating, broken air-conditioning and the fact that the arrivals hall was inside a tent.
"The good news is that some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows," says the website.
"Though it is a far cry from reasonable, improvements are being made."
Consistently bad: Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz International Airport
CNN has asked for a comment from aviation authorities in Nigeria, but so far no response.
Remarkably, Port Harcourt didn't even appear on last year's worst airports list.
There were quite a few repeat offenders on this year's list though, as well as some notable omissions.
Filipinos will be pleased to hear their long maligned Ninoy Aquino International Airport Manila Airport, crowned worst airport three years in a row before slipping to fourth place last year, didn't even make this year's top 10.
Saudi Arabia's Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport held onto its position as world's second worst airport.
Voters were annoyed by the chaotic, crowded, unclean airport -- particularly within the Hajj terminal.
"From smoking in non-smoking areas to the bathroom odor wafting out into the lounges, few people sang praises after spending time here," said Sleeping in Airports.
"Multi-hour immigration queues with distracted and absent officers further aggravated travelers."
Fortunately, the site said Jeddah's days on the list are likely numbered -- the new Jeddah Airport is scheduled to open mid-2016.
Nepal's Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport held onto the same spot as last year -- third.
Last year's worst airport, Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad, Pakistan, slipped to ninth place, while Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan rose a spot to move from fifth to fourth place.
Not a single United States airport appeared in this year's top 10, though Europe can't say the same.
France's Beauvais-Tille Airport slipped in to land the number 10 spot.
"Grievances from voters are detailed and far-reaching, but generally revolve around the absence of chairs, kind staff, sufficient toilets and hygienic standards," says Sleeping in Airports of the Paris facility.

Nigerian Navy Air Arm bell Helicopter

The Nigerian Navy Air Arm operates over 15 Helicopters from their bases in Lagos and Bayelsa States. Some of the Navy's known Helicopters include,

- 3 Lynx ASW Helicopters (long term Storage, last operational in 2006)

- 6 AW-109 Helicopters (Operational)

- 2 AW-139 SAR Helicopters ( Operational )

- 4 Bell Helicopters (Operational )

@Henry120 never heard NN owned 2 AW-139 SAR Helicopters, any pix of that

the helicopter was not damaged, but i wonder why a lot of people died........................maybe it was the seat belt

Bristow Helicopter Limited on Thursday suspended operations, less than 24 hours after one of its choppers ditched into the Lagos Lagoon, killing six of the 12 persons on board.

The Airlines Head of Communications, Mr Cornelius Onuoha, who announced the decision in a statement, in Lagos, said the suspension was in line with aviation standards.

According to him, the suspension is to allow proper investigation to be carried out on the incident, to avert further occurrence.

He said that appropriate decision concerning its operation, would be communicated as the investigation continued.

Onuoha explained that the airline had informed the next of kin of the affected families that lost their members in the crash.
.
He said that it was too early to predict the cause of the unfortunate incident.

“It is much too early to talk about the cause of this incident. It will take weeks or months of investigation to determine why the incident happened.

“The investigation will be conducted by the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) and we will cooperate fully.

“We will not speculate about what may have been the cause, and we encourage others not to speculate. Our pilots are trained to the highest standards in the industry,” he said.

In a statement earlier by its regional Manager, West Africa, Duncan Moore, the airline said the aircraft, a Sikorsky S-76C+, was returning from a drilling rig offshore.

“Preliminary information indicates that the aircraft carried 10 passengers and a crew of two.
“The company is in the process of collecting pertinent information and will release details as soon as they are available,’’ the statement said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that six persons rescued from the lagoon are still receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.

NAN reports that the airline has not released the manifest of passengers that are on board the ill- fated chopper.

stillchris, given that I have posted seven videos since our last exchange and you have posted none, I would like to return your advise to yourself. Besides, nothing I have said had any political connotation. I also believe you don't know the meaning of "trolling". You are the actual troll.

Am beginning to see the similarities between patriot and igbi....

The U.S that refused to sell you Cobra Helicopters, suddenly has now had a change of heart, and instead would now sell you Apaches......... LOL!

If you believe this, then I'm the next in line to the British throne.

am glad that smaller african countries are upgrading their military to the 21st century ..but wat sub sahara african countries need is to ups their countries economy and indiginous defence and arms project so that those billions going out of the continent can remain in africa....so lets say in the next 10 years we can have countries in africa doing an anual defence budget of 20-30 billion dollars.

i had a closer view on that c130, just that i couldnt take pix that close, and i believe can differetiate an American flag from a south african one, unless i was drunk. .
