obayaya: Ngige that runs around like a political ashawo.. gubernatorial to senatorial... he's just a hungry short man

biafranqueen: At least we can mention what has already been reported. Why pay billions of dollars in cash for the Abuja shopping complex? Why does your brother get caught with millions at the Corporate office of Next. How did his brother in the states Francis all of a sudden acquire millions of dollar of Real Estate in California ? The truth will all come out nothing is hidden forever.

biafranqueen: I just want to mention that Commissioner Robert Uju Okonkwo is the person who fought for those roads you are mentioning it was a long battle while he was in charge of Transportation and Special Duties. That is why he is now the Commissioner of Commerce he is the one that brought Shop Rite to the state. I just want to give credit where credit is due. He is also the one who wrote the budget. Some of my own people tried to ruin his name because he refused to take bribes or help his personal family by giving them salary. He is the real hero behind this transformation.

cooltone: One funny thing about this man Peter Obi is that he sees everybody apart from himself as a 'mugu' and also he can lie a lot. The only good thing he did was that he invested most of his loot in Nigeria.

lordnammy: He survived the era of Uba's and co he can still survive any other time

lordnammy: He would have gone far to effect the change he preach.

chino11: I dey for BEJOYS here in Awka by Aroma Junction. I dey take my own HERO here.

SABMILLER we dey salute una..

Hilary 26: Our youths are the most docile in the world. They are short-sighted. Look at the the post quoted above.
This young man is clearly encouraging politicians to perpetuate his poverty.
My friend open your eyes. ...they are playing with your mind! ! Nigerian youths, it's time for action.
In Anambra; we won't test a new man for governor....we shall not be decieved again.
Obi acted a gentle and humble man until he grabbed power. Stingy and spendthrift.
We give up to Ngige, Who has prooved his guts as a true leader.
All PROFIT-MAX-KINDA-PEOPLE can't make good leaders.
#Wake up Nigerian Youths #Don't be fooled again!
God bless Nigeria!

asha 80: tell the rural dwellers in the state that.

petsam11: Please, I have a question... How can I post a topic here on Nairaland? Please, am sorry for derailing...

Rooneyboy: This N6 guy who knows his real names abeg

Dream FM, Enugu is NOT a cosmo comeback. It is a new radio station, independently owned and run. However, as with any new establishment requiring experienced staff, Dream FM employed a good number of those who made Cosmo FM a success.

The Beam: NCCA/NCAA? Oh well, my mistake.

And like I said earlier, u're entirely missing the point, This is NOT about me or my knowledge of NCAA, or indeed my relationship with Mr. Demuren. This is a simple matter of failure in corporate governance and breach of basic HSE principles and I don't have to be a consultant to NCAA for my common sense to deduce if there has been a breach or not.

Attacking my credibility based on the correct (or in this case incorrect) name of the parastatal is off track and typing the incorrect abbreviation of the name doesn't in any way prove the submission of an ethical breach wrong. Nor does it in any way constitute irrefutable proof of lack of knowledge of the organization (Note: knowledge that's not even needed to pass an informed opinion on a simple matter as basic precaution)

Do I have to know all about Julius Berger to be able to tell that if they don't take strict steps to ensure all workers and visitors in their yards are aPproproately kitted safely according to standards, then they are liable if an accident happens in said yard as a result of this breach?

Well now, it's up to Mr. Demuren to challenge the termination in a competent court and explain why he's not liable for the administrative lapses that allowed an aircraft with documented engine trouble take-off from an airport where NCAA has oversight function of preventing exactly things like this. Is that complete enough?

The Beam: Don't need to go into the future pal. This is simple deductive reasoning.

Was he head of NCCA? Yes

Is NCCA responsible for regulating airline operations? Yes

Was there a breach of regulations that led to the DANA crash? Yes, SEVERAL!

Was any appropriate step taken to correct said breach and avert disaster? NO, unfortunately.

Is he culpable for the brazen breach in regulations that occurred under his watch? VERY!

There you have it, that's common sense and objectivity for you. Anything less than that is partisan.


Sacking him is actually a good way of reducing the culpability and liability of the govt. in a lawsuit.

The Beam: That wasn't my intention sir. Sorry if it looks like that.

I don't know the man, but based on the utter waste of human lives occasioned by the irresponsibility of his administration in the Dana crash, any decision made as a fall-out can be justified, never mind that ppl claim he's been outstanding up till then. That's my stand.
He may be a good man, but at that level, you need to maintain a sterling degree of professionalism at all times.

Did he? No.

Did he know the risk? Yes.

Did he have both legal and financial backing to have taken necessary steps to avoid that disaster ?Capital YES!

What happened? He was criminally negligent!

And professionally, he's lucky to be escaping with his freedom. If Nigeria were a country where the populace knew their rights and we had Lawyers who knew anything about Torts, FAAN, FG, NCCA and DANA would be deeply enmeshed in trouble now.
