pDude: Help me tell them o. It is a South Korean airline plane and after the crash, only one person was taken to the hospital.

Shey make we talk naija own?

use your head!
This crash happened in the airport, so there were so many security personnel and fire fighters around/in the airport, that's why they were able to quickly put off the fire and avert more disaster.
Now, could this have been the story if this crash happened in a bush or in an isolated place?

ogugua88: Have they given you reason to believe? Every time you vote for a new face, Nigerians are often met with the same old disappointments. San Francisco international airport has army and health personnel on ground 24/7. By the time local stations were showing the news, most of the fire was out, and I'm only 2 hours away.

Can the same be said about MMA?

would you agree with me that the fire wouldn't have been put off even till now if the crash had happened in a bush?

President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday in Abuja urged the military to abide by the rules of engagement and have respect for human rights in the fight against terrorism.

Jonathan, who was the Reviewing Officer and the Special Guest of Honour,made the call at the parade to mark the grand finale of the 2013 Nigerian Army Day Celebration.

He said that he was pleased that the initial assessment report of the conductof military operations since the declaration of emergency rule revealed that the strategies had been well thought out and was progressing satisfactorily.
He said that government services and private businesses had resumed in areas previously occupied by the insurgents, adding that the people in those areas were gradually regaining their lives in confidence.

“As we march forward, I urge you to continue to abide by the Army hallow practice and core character of service.

“I also urge you to keep to the rules of engagement, especially respect for human rights in all your operational activities.

“In the current stabilising phase of your operations, the welfare and wellbeing of the people of the communities where you live and work must be your primary focus,’’ Jonathansaid.

The president urged the military to defend the citizens and foreigners living in the country against terrorist elements.

He also advised the military to strengthen its collaboration and synergy with other security agencies and friendly partner nations to enhance their effectiveness.

“Terrorism is anti-people; it is anti-progress and we must stamp it outof our nation.

“This administration firm resolve is to do everything in our constitutional powers to ensure the security and safety of all law abiding citizens.

“It is a commitment that we have madeand kept with great dedication, and we will continue to keep it,’’ Jonathan said.

Jonathan assured the Nigerian Army and all the members of the armed forces of the commitment of his administration to their wellbeing.

He pledged that government would continue to support the armed forces and meet their needs.

“I want to specially congratulate you, your spouses and families on this important anniversary.

“I want to thank them for standing by you as you serve our nation. Nigeria deeply appreciates your sacrifice,’’ the president said.

The Minister of State for Defence, Mrs Olusola Obada, said that the celebration came at a time when the country was contending with terrorismand other security challenges which were novel to its national history.

She said that the theme of the celebration, “Enhancing the Nigerian Army Capacity Building Effort towards Improved National Security’’ could not have come at a better time.

She said that in spite of the threat posed by terrorist, the army and other security agencies had made considerable progress in the maintenance of law and order and security of lives and properties.

In his speech, the FCT Minister, Sen. BalaMohammed, said that in view of the current security challenges facing the country, the army should increase surveillance to reduce criminal tendencies by miscreants.

He said that his administration would encourage the army through the provision of logistics and vehicles and other assistance necessary to achieve acrime free society in the FCT and its environs.

Earlier the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, said the celebrationwas an annual event.

According to him, the celebration will provide the army the opportunity to showcase its rich history, values and modest achievement.

Ihejirika added that the celebration would also provide opportunity for thearmy to engender public awareness of its capability and readiness to defend the nation in consonance with its constitutional role.

“The choice of July 6th every year is symbolic as the first shot of the Nigerian Civil War was fired in Gakem, Cross River state on July 6 1967

The Chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Joan Ayo, has allegedly converted a cubicle into a detention centre inside the commission's building at Wuse Zone 3, Abuja.

Investigations by our correspondents indicated that no fewer than four members of staff of the commission had been detained inside the facility for hours on the orders of Ayo over some alleged infractions.

The detention centre, which has twochairs, two tables and an air conditioner, is on the second floor of the civil service building. It is located opposite room 211 and made of aluminium and tinted glasses.

Checks bySaturday PUNCHrevealed that three clerical staff members (names withheld) were detained a few weeks ago for allegedly delaying the verification process of letters for new employees.

It was learnt that some of the new employees were from highly placed people from the State House and some ministries.

It was learnt that the chairman had directed her security details to summon the personnel of the Director of Recruitment and Appointment to her office in respect of a list of 22 newly appointed officers forwarded to the office for authentication.

The chairman was said to have ordered the detention of the three clerical staff members while she senta senior official to get the schedule officer (name withheld), who was directed to ensure an immediate conclusion of the exercise.

Findings showed that the first person who was detained was a secretary in the office of the commissioner representing Lagos and Ogun states in the commission, Mr. R.B. Tinubu.

The female secretary was said to have been speaking loudly when the chairman was passing on the corridor and she reportedly resisted entreaties to keep quiet.

The chairman was said to have overheard the reaction of the secretary, who sought to know when it became an offence for somebody to talk when the chairman was passing through the corridor. The chairman consequently directed her detentionin the facility.

It was learnt that it took the intervention of a commissioner to secure the release of the secretary.

When one of our correspondents contacted the President of the National Civil Service Union, Mr. Kiri Mohammed, he said that operating a detention facility was unethical and a violation of the rules guiding the civil service.

Mohammed, a deputy president of the Nigeria Labour Congress, said the civil service was not a security formation that should be running a detention centre.

He said, "Civil service is not a military or paramilitary organisation. It is governed by rules; there are no rules that say the chairman can detain anybody."

"The union cannot support it. The union will make further investigation; there are steps guiding the operations of the service. You issue queries, warnings,suspension, or pay half salary and others."

However, the Chairman of the NCSU, FCT branch, Mr. Lawrence Amaechi, said that his union was aware of thedetention of personnel in the commission.

He said that there was fear among the workers because of the chairman's style of administration.

He alleged further that whenever Ayo was moving with her detachment of riot policemen, everyworker was expected to stand still.

Amaechi said, "The truth of the matter is that I am aware of the things the woman is doing. She has no respect for anybody. She moves with a detachment of riot policemen, workers are afraid. When she is moving, nobody moves,nobody knows where she is drawing her powers from."

But the Chief Security Officer of the commission, Sunday Ifeguma, denied that the chairman was operating a detention centre. He added that the cubicle was a place for her (the chairman's) security details.

He dismissed the issue of the high number of security personnel in the escort of the chairman and explained that the security measures were put in place because of the security situation in the country.

When pressed for the GSM number of the chairman to enable our correspondents to get her response, Ifeguma declined to give the number.

IAMBREEZY: just 70 billion in naira...

let me presume that you are right.
So EU is expecting us to fight embezzlers, looters, those who syphon and misappropriate upto N200billion each with just 70billion? They must be out of their minds.
Anyway, thanks for the donation, GEJ should quickly include that money in our cassava bread production.

nahinbdis: This is really impressive... Many good steps being taken by this Govt, especially in the transport sector. Truth is, the transport sector has never had it so good! From the airports to the roads, railway... the next port of call should be water transport.

it's little by little. What GEJ needs is time, just little time and he would put all those sectors in a desired condition.
He needs your votes come 2015 for Nigeria to be a better place.

The head coach of African champions owed 5months salary.
This is awkwardly pathetic!
NFF WOULD NEVER SUCCEED IN TARNISHING THE GOOD IMAGE OF GEJ'S ADMINISTRATION.

As Stephen Keshi prepares to lead the home-based Super Eaglesteam against the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday in Kaduna, reports on theBBCstate that the coach has not received his salary since January.
The Nigeria Football Federation (Nff) Secretary General, Musa Amadu told theBBC: “Between the federation and the coaching crew, we don't have a problem.
"We've been working together withStephen Keshi since November 2011 and he knows the peculiar financial situation of things with the federation.”
Keshi, as well as assistant coaches Daniel Amokachi and Ike Shorunmu are being owed though Amadu believes that this situation has not affected the coaches working relationship with the Nff.
"We try as much as possible to pay our obligations, likewise the coach, and we've had a very good working relationship.
Amadu also said the coaches have not complained though some peoplemight want to make more of the unpaid salary situation.
"I know the coach will not bring to the fore any such matters. Perhaps there are people out there that wantto capitalise on such matters to create problems between the federation and the coach.
"But I know that obligations to the coaching crew are always settled, and we do have the understanding of the coaching crew in this regard."We appreciate that understanding and right now the focus is not aboutwhat is being written in the media but it is on the CHAN qualifiers,” Amadu added.
