Mauritania have withdrawn from the WAFU B U15s after their game with Sierra Leone which they lost 6-0 citing fear of injury to their players because of the physical difference between them and other teams at the tournament. They also questioned the ages of the SL team.

Sierra Leone is in blue jersey and Mauritania is in white.

Deeply concerning incident at Africa’s largest airline — Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 #ET343 was still at cruising altitude of 37,000ft by the time it reached destination Addis Ababa

Why hadn’t it started to descend for landing? Both pilots were asleep.

Air traffic controllers tried to contact the pilots numerous times without success

After overflying the runway (still at cruising altitude), the autopilot disconnected - and this chime alert woke the pilots up — who then initiated a descent and eventually made a safe landing.

Pilot fatigue is nothing new, and continues to pose one of the most significant threats to air safety - internationally.

Just last week, pilots publicly criticised UK leisure airline Jet2 for “refusing to recognise concerns about pilot fatigue”

Update: Ethiopian Airlines has confirmed the Boeing 737 pilots have been suspended pending further investigation.

A timely reminder that pilot fatigue is widespread, an issue across the airline spectrum, sometimes systematic, and poses a major threat to air safety.

See previous thread here: Emirates Suspends All Flights From Nigeria From September 1



IATA @IATA

IATA is disappointed that the amount of airline money blocked from repatriation by the #Nigerian government grew to $464 million in July. #blockedfunds

IATA’s many warnings that failure to restore timely repatriation will hurt Nigeria with reduced air connectivity are proving true with the withdrawal of @emirates from the market.

Airlines can’t be expected to fly if they can’t realize revenue from ticket sales. Loss of connectivity harms the economy, hurts investor confidence, impacts jobs and people’s lives.

The Government of Nigeria needs to prioritize the release funds before more damage is done.

BNXN Says That He Did Not Literally Spit In A Police Officer's Face



SP Benjamin Hundeyin @BenHundeyin

All the police officers involved in this case, serving at Area F Ikeja, were identified and invited to the headquarters for 1100hrs today. @BNXN was equally requested to report at the headquarters same time, which he promptly agreed to.

However, at about 1230hrs today, @BNXN called to explain that he was indisposed and requested more time. Furthermore, he was apologetic and regretted the wrong signal his deleted tweet sent to his teeming followers and people in general. He, therefore, pleaded to correct the ‘misconception’ and firmly take a stand against assault on police officers. He was given that concession.

All said and done, @LagosPoliceNG under the leadership of CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc totally stands against all forms of unprofessional conduct by its officers; and encourages every aggrieved persons to duly report such appropriately to enable quick needful action.
