ujchief: Champions league is not for boys!
These gunners better end 6th on league. We don't want people disgracing the Epl at continental competitions.

aieromon: I knews you well. You says Arsenal is win UCL and I says in your dream last week.

aieromon: Reporting for duty

Omo_Tier, I see you.

Sincere 9gerian: I'm sure if it were APC or Fashola that was removing the fuel subsidy, you would not only have supported it but also given us a thousand reason why the subsidy removal is sweet. This is just one example of how deceitful and mischievous some of the few but noisy critics have been.

The Fashola I know, if he was the one elected as president in 2011, would have also tried to totally remove the subsidy as SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Hypocrisy unprecedented!

Iamurfantasy: Accurate investigative reports. I'm still marveled and wonder to what extent the members of Dana Air would go to conceal the real truth and protect the persons involved.

Fact: the crash was caused by bad aviation fuel.

Truth: the fuel was supplied by a company owned by the Aviation Minister (Mrs. Oduah Stella).

Verdict: some law makers learned of this truth and revoked the ban placed on Dana Air.

Justice: I hope to see justice take its cause on both Dana Air (for concealing the truth) and the Minister

Rossikk: Every adult knows the police is a lot more disciplined today than 10 or 15 years ago. You must have been a young kid in 2003 or else you wouldn't type that rubbish. As for "peaceful", I certainly feel a lot safer driving around today than ten years ago. Armed robbery has declined drastically compared to those days. Don't let boko haram's antics fool you. The country is a lot safer on the whole today. Bh's victims are negligible in number.

all4naija: Hello, NASA engineer regularly jumping off into River Thames!

That is the only language most Nigerians understand.

Princek12: You sound stupid. Flight attendants are not restricted to their hotels when they are laying over. What regulations are their visas restricted to?

The employers of flight attendants can restrict the movement of their flight attendants during their layover. Before you come here and start running your mouth, you need to travel first.

CFCfan: @manny4life: The NASS would claim that as a body of elected representatives, they have every right to investigate a national tragedy. I'm just flabbergasted at the recommendation of sacking Demuren. Instead, the officials that signed-off the airworthiness of the plane should be relieved of their jobs through the appropriate channels.

Remember that it's the same Senate that urged GEJ to directly sack a civil-servant! Smh.

manny4life: At least one thing you and I could agree on...Very good analysis.

On a more serious note, NASS (both houses) have recently been overstepping their legislative authority with their so-called investigations. I thought the primary objective of any National Assembly was to MAKE LAWS - provide checks and balances to the Executive and Judiciary. It's really sad that NASS has to dabble into anything and everything.

NASS does not possess the prerequisite knowledge of Aviation Investigation, like you stated, how many of them have vast investigative experience? NONE. I thought they would have relaxed and allow the agencies to make their findings, after it's released, then they can either strengthen the laws of the NCAA. If they feel aggrieved that NCA restored back their license, the best way to go about it is to enhance weaknesses within the law.

As for having aviation institution, training, etc, I believe that Nigerian Aviation Institute in Ilorin if I'm correct, has a few of these items BUT still nothing compared to others. Nonetheless, I think they should reconsider their actions again, else, Nigeria and U.S. will be affected if the U.S. should revoke the Cat 1 status and Nigeria will suffer it the more. Why because after the CAT 1 status, U.S. airlines such as Delta, American, United etc started operating, offering a competition. While this affects flights going into the U.S., should Nigeria in turn bar theirs, chaos will be let loose.

all4naija: Shut your trumps and scams, guys! Bushes!

kulyie: did you see her with prostitutes that you are calling her a prostitute.it takes a whoremonger to know a LovePeddler

Abagworo: The reason I raise my cap for Amaechi is that he enpowered Rivers people in the process of developing the State. I've long condemned the use of Julius Berger by Nigerian Government to the detriment of our indigenous firms and the inflation of JB contracts is legendary. They are used as tools for money laundering and capital flight. Imagine if Akwa-Ibom firms were given 40% of those jobs, how it will impact on the people.

taharqa: Jesus Christ of Heaven!! Can you IJIOT point out exactly where I lied here. Plz itemise it if you can, abeg.... By d way by NIPP, were you talking about that thread where you were caught in yr LIES that d Geregu Plant in questn was d one that OBJ built (ie d 414MW GereguI), instead of d one built by GEJ (ie d 434MW GereguII)?? I hope you were not talking about dat thread, I mean you cant- even though it is yr Job Specs to discredit everytin GEJ, I refuse to bliv you can be that SHAMELESS esp afta bn caught in a lie

Sincere 9gerian: I'm tired of discussing this issue of fuel subsidy. Certainly, any attempt to bring up the issue of fuel subsidy removal before 2015 will see the resurrection of failed politicians, emergency civil society groups, black market activists, brown envelope media organisations,etc

The only chance of total removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria before 2015 appears to be thru legislation (PIB). The alternative is to totally remove fuel subsidy post-2015.

I'v always been an advocate of fuel subsidy removal because I believe it is wrong policy to subsidize consumption. Subsidy should be moved from consumption to production

Princek12: Nigeria is not tourist friendly and lacks activities for tourists to do. In addition, the security and infrastructural challenges, not to mention to aesthetic challenges, we currently have make Nigeria look like an eyesore to foreigners and make them scared to have fun in Nigeria. That said, you cannot blame a tourist who is used to living and visiting beautiful places, and who is used to having the freedom to roam the streets, to enjoy being in Nigeria where everywhere looks dirty and where there is practically nothing for her to do.

During one of my flights from Lagos to Yankee via Amsterdam, I asked the KLM flight attendant how long she had to layover in Lagos and what did she do. She said that she was in Lagos for 48 hours and that she stayed in her hotel for the entire 48hours. She further said that she stayed in Sheraton Ikeja and KLM prohibits all their flight attendants from leaving their hotels when they are in Nigeria.

She also said that she visits all other African countries, e.g., South Africa and Kenya, and that KLM usually has tourist activities planned for them during their stay in those African countries. They are only forbidden from leaving their hotels when they are in Nigeria, she reckoned. This was shameful, to put it mildly.
