Emiliano Sala's Father has reacted to news that the wreckage of the plane carrying the missing Cardiff City footballer was discovered in the English Channel.

The Piper Malibu N264DB that had been carrying 28-year-old Sala and pilot David Ibbotson, 59, disappeared over the English Channel on January 21 after leaving Nantes in France for Cardiff.

Two vessels, including one commissioned by the AAIB, using sonar had been taking part in a fresh search covering an area of around four square nautical miles.

Speaking at his home in Argentina, Horacio Sala said he was “desperate” after a privately-funded search operation found the aircraft in waters north of Guernsey on Sunday.

“I cannot believe it. This is a dream. A bad dream. I am desperate,” Mr Sala toldlocal broadcaster Cronica TV.

“I communicated with them every day, but since I do not have WhatsApp it’s hard to call them or call me.

“They told me that the days passed and there was no news of Emiliano or the plane.”

Marine scientist David Mearns, the director of Blue Water Recoveries, led a team on the search vessel FPV Morven while the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) also sent a team aboard its the Geo Ocean III.

Mr Mearns tweeted: “Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN. As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV.

“The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by Police. The AAIB will be making a statement tomorrow. Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David.”

MySportDab report the privately-funded operation on behalf of the Sala family was made possible after a campaign raised more than £260,000 to pay for it.

Festus brutalized Buba Galadima. It is obvious that buba is just pained of not having a largesse of this government

KenOne:
Politics today on channels tv anchored by Seun Okinbaloyo was explosive today as Festus Keyamo floors PDP and it's presidential spokesman Buba Galadima.

My highlights was when Festus Keyamo said PDP has a vice presidential candidate from East-China known by his Chinese name as - Him tu Lie. (aka Peter Obi).

Festus Keyamo is the big deal for APC i must give it to Rotimi Amaechi for painstakingly picking Festus Keyamo as APC campaign spokesman.

Absolutely!... Festus Keyamo is the REAL DEAL and a FANTASTIC communicator
anyday!

I watched the program via livestream and Festus Keyamo was on
point. He took the 65-year-old Buba Galadima to the cleaners and left
him rambling and it showed that Buba Galadima is just on a cheap
vendetta mission. I think he just wants attention from PMB... because
there are people who cannot stand being ignore... so they try to set
off fireworks/explosives to gain attention.

I had a really GOOD laugh though when Keyamo used quick verbal
technicalities to KNOCK Galadima out!

Festus Keyamo is a vital asset to the political space and the legal
profession.

I would love Keyamo to even be my lawyer whenever I need
one.

At the entrance of the ancient Esa cave magnificently sitted at the outskirt of Iyin-Ekiti. Located about 3 kilometres from Iyin Ekiti and 6 kilometres from Ado-Ekiti, the state capital of Ekiti State, Nigeria.


I actually did not plan on visiting this site on my way to Ado Ekiti. I had plan to go to somewhere else at Ilupeju Ekiti, unfortunately, things did not go well as I planed as I was not given good access to my site of visit. So, on my way back I checked google and I saw the Esa cave as part of the historical place to visit when you are around Ekiti state. So I visited.

Meet the 32 year old Bangladeshi-British businessman, Kazi Shafiqur Rahman, who is set to launch Britain's first "Sharia compliant" Firnas Airways in 2019.

And the Sharia compliance airline means once onboard, only Islamic "Halal" meals and non-alcoholic drinks will be served,and modest and non-provocative dress for his female staffs.

Mr Rahman,who calls himself the "Halal Richard Branson", is leasing a 19-seater Jetstream 32 airplane for a start.He named his airline after Abbas Ibn Firnas, a Spanish Muslim inventor , who was the first man to fly and live to tell the tale in 875AD.  

The London-based businessman used to work cleaning plane toilets before going into perfume business. His airline is now few months away from flying short haul routes between UK cities .He believes it could take two or three years before his dream of long haul to places like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is achieved.

What Do You Think?

Is the CJN the INEC chairman? They can't even manage to calm their nerves and put up poker faces, PDP camp has been put in disarray..

PDP was hoping for Onnoghen to "chuckin" their compromised judges into the election tribunals about to be set up..

Governors of AKS, Rivers, Abia etc all lost at the HC, COA but some how miraculously won at the SC...
They were lucky ,they got away with the 2015 robbery, there won't be a repeat in 2019.

Justice Mary Odili.....

modath:
Atiku should ask for a refund from the people that sold Dubai strategy to him, these people hate PDP deep down cos all they've succeeded in doing is make their affinity and obsession with corruption & grand larceny so obvious at each and every turn.

PDP won't stop making sane & fair minded people laugh, CJN admitted to "forgetting" to declare over $3m (and counting) and "they've turned that into a CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER" rather than distancing themselves from the drama, they have decided to carry it on dem head like expired gala for inside go slow...

oladele00:
Almost everyone on social media voiced former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun into resigning. Some even asked that the President remove her to prove that he's truly fighting corruption. When the brilliant woman saw that she truly erred by submitting a fake NYSC Exemption certificate, she did the honourable thing. She tendered her resignation letter and left. She RESIGNED!
By that time, those of you ethnic jingoists didn't see Kemi as a Southerner. You screamed at her, cyber bullied her and even hurled abuses at her. Now it is the turn of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, who admitted himself that he 'forgot' to declare his domiciliary accounts which was loaded with £23,409, €49,971 and $391,401, including 55 houses undeclared, and by so doing, he breached the Code of Conduct as a Public officer and was suppose to have resigned straightaway if he had any modicum of honour, integrity and shame as the custodian of the Nigerian Law, but he didn't. Instead, he was doing everything to stall his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. All those times, you didn't call for his resignation the same way you did with Kemi, you didn't bully him to resign the way you bullied Kemi, you were instead urging him to stay on, you were drumming support for him and some of you that were deceiving yourselves with your forming neutrality didn't say anything all this while too, you deliberately turned dumb. When it was first revealed a fortnight ago that the Chief Justice of Nigeria didn't declare his domiciliary accounts with dollars starched in it, all you were vituperating was that the President wanted to remove him because he's a southerner. You acted dumb on the offence he committed. Now that the CJN has been suspended, those of you fake neutralists are now crying foul. You're screaming that democracy is in danger. Can y'all see how nonsensically hypocritical you are? Your hypocrisy is legendary. Your hypocrisy stinks. You shouted and bullied Kemi Adeosun into resignation but aiding Onnoghen who can't explain how he got the foreign currencies starched in his domiciliary accounts which he didn't declare plus 55 houses. A whooping 55 houses.
Instead of the CJN to resign honourably and go clear himself, he was busy running from pillar to post buying injunctions to stop the case against him. Just a couple of days ago, another $630,000 and $800,000 was discovered in his separate domiciliary accounts again. Y'all pretended you didn't see the news, abi? Sensing that he could be suspended by the NJC, the CJN quickly suspend their meeting indefinitely. Why? So that he can stay on. You can imagine!
You asked Kemi to resign but Onnoghen who was selling justice for dollars and deliberately didn't declare those dollars in his domiciliary accounts including 55 houses should stay on, and he should be left alone.
Arrant nonsense.

PDP ARE SUPPORTER OF CORRUPTION

delpee:
This response shows a lot of ignorance! Most Yoruba towns have the major roads leading into town passing through the ancient parts of the town where you have century old buildings. Certainly you should know that a town that has a University, Fed. Poly, Navy School and many reputable private institutions like Adesoye College will have beautiful buildings in other areas. Most old Yoruba towns have GRA and new layouts totally off the town centre.

By the way, politicians prefer to pass through the centre of the town for crowd effect (real, paid for or coerced by circumstances.)

etrouble:
You want appointments, Yorubas want infrastructure;

1. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is about 70% completed, PDP abandoned it for 16 years.
2. Lagos - Ibadan Railway is about 80% completed, PDP will never thought of it.
3. Oyo - Ogbomoso expressway is under construction, PDP awarded the constract in Obasanjo's regime and embezzled the money.

TheRealestGuy:
That was the amount found as turnover in his account not available balance.

Wilstino:
This absolutely a lame thing to say. The fact that his colleagues does have such amount does not mean he can't have it. What if he bought a land in ikoyi or maitama back then and later sold? I'm sure you know amount... I am not holding brief for him but all we are advocating is for due process and rule of law to prevail. If the appropriate channel and process were follow no one will complain and surely he will face the law as required.

Those PDP guys would stop at nothing.

They did it to Bola Ige, Azazi and I can bet my last Naira, same were responsible for Badeh.

Ondo State governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu has said that the proposed $ 1.3 billion Multipurpose Deep Sea Port in the state would create job opportunities for 20,000 people in the Ilaje coastal areas of the state.

Akeredolu He said the feasibility study has been completed and forwarded to the Nigeria Port Authority ,NPA.

He said these in Akure during the presentation of the report of the consultants to the state Executive Council and stakeholders of the coastal communities.

He said: “The port will offer between 7000 to 10,000 job opportunities while the Free Trade Zone FTD will offer between 9,500 to 10,000 employment opportunities.

“We are doing things for the generation to come. I have always believed that there should be a beginning. We have started, there is no going back. “I was privileged to travel with President Buhari to the Netherlands. We went on a boat and visited the ports. I told him, if anything like this must happen in Nigeria, it must be in Ondo State. Not only that, the President has said it most of the times that he knows that Ondo is the right place for a deep-sea port.

“We should not play politics with everything. It is not our making but providence has put us where we are today. Where we are today, is the best place to have a deep-sea port.

“Ours, as a state, is to prepare the ground and show the feasibility and bankability. Can Ondo State do it? No, Ondo State cannot build or own a port. But there are many people who are willing to invest.

“The Chinese, Dutch, and others are interested because this will be a West African port not just for the country. It is not that we are looking for money to build a port but we are looking for investors and they will invest here.’’

According to the feasibility study, the 75-kilometre shoreline is a challenge for the development of a deep-sea port and is characterised by wetland and mud sedimentation.

Falana Calls For Justice Onnoghen’s Resignation
Channels Television
Updated January 27, 2019






Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has asked Justice Walter Onnoghen to quit the bench, following the allegations levelled against him at the code of conduct tribunal.

The human rights activist made this call on Sunday while featuring as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He said, “The government should as a matter of urgency, lift the suspension on the Chief Justice since the Chief Justice as so much to on his own admitted that he did not declare his assets, he should do the needful by calling it quits”.

Falana said after the suspension has been lifted, the Chief Justice should quit the bench because he has already admitted that he failed in his duty to declare his asset as required by the constitution.

The Senior Advocate further argued that the Executive and the Judiciary arms of government have failed Nigerians with regards to the case of Justice Walter Onnoghen.

He said it was wrong for President Muhammadu Buhari to have suspended Justice Onnoghen based on an ex parte order of the code of conduct tribunal.

He said by so doing the President did not follow due process, stressing that the government must learn to obey the rule of law.

“You can’t fight corruption without following due process,” Falana said.

Delauhe is also for Yorubas that migrated to Edoland and became Binis.
Uhe is the Bini for Ife.

Osahon7:
You are right about benin paying homeage to the Oyo Empire. This was a summary of all the the events thats happened.

1.Before now, the ruler of Benin empire used to be called Ogiso(King of the Sky) not Oba. Bini was called Igodomigodo

2.The Last Ogiso resign was associated with Hardship and strive on the Binis

3.When the last ogiso died, his son(Ekaladeran/Izoduwa)who was supposed to take over experienced resistance and opposition because of how his father tenure went.

5.In an attempt no to be assinated, he escaped from Bini and went to Ife

6.In Ifa his name was corrupted from Izoduwa to Oduduwa! He had strong magical spirtual powers so people regarded him as the Son of God.He was made the spirtual head of the yoruba

7. After several years of unstabe monarchy in Bini, some chiefs and king makers went to Ife to beg Izoduwa(now ododuwa) to return home to take his rightful throne.

8.Oduduwa being the spirtual head of the yoruba was unable to leave his position in IFe to come to benin

9.He sent Oramiyan, his son who was born in ife and had yoruba backround to come and be The head of Benin

10.Oramiyan came with Yoruba culture to be Head of bini. Being a yoruba, he refuted the title " Ogiso" and was called " Oba"

11.Because of the complex traditions in Benin, he was unable to cope with being the head of benin, so he left benin in Angry and named Edo "Ile-ebinu"(land of vexation)changing the name from Igodomido to Ile-Ebinu

12.On his way back to Ife, he spent some days at the place of a benin chief and fell in love with the daughter and impregnated her.

13.The daughter gave birth to a son called "Eweka" who was trained in benin cultured and tradition and became the first OBA.

14. Oba Eweka having a Yoruba father saw it necessary to always go Ife for parental advice and guidance.

I hope this helps.
How The name was changed from Ile Ebinu to Edo is another story.
