If we didnt gain anything from this crash, can a thread be created and updated on this kind of near-miss incidents so that we can spread the word when a particular airlines plane has had an issue? We can always know the particular plane by its flight number. Its said that its that same plane that had the emergency landing in lagos that was downed yesterday.

I read a few days ago that a virgin plane refused to start after passengers had boarded and they finally disembarked and were refunded

temmytanny: Aero airlines have bn here 4decades and no crash.atleast we stil av some airlines to rely

I think its something they need to cherish and keep up.

realwale: i wonder ooh myself.i was at d crash site for 3hrs yesterday and no rescue work had started for d pple inside d plane.about 8 burnt bodies dat were d residents of d house were packed inside two ambulances and i saw d bodies myself.burnt beyond recognition. The place is abt 2mins drive to my house.

It is most amazing the services we have, 3 looooooooooong hours and no rescue effort(SMH) I actually believe this is one of the major reasons why crashes are almost always fatal in Nigeria for all on-board. The head of NEMA should be sacked for this

Until we get services right Nigeria is going no where as a country.

Daily trust paper also has this on their site http://dailytrust.com.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=164097:dana-aircraft-crash-eyewitnesses-report-one-survivor&catid=2:lead-stories&Itemid=8

could it be true?

Nigeria: Dana Aircraft Crash - Eyewitnesses Report One Survivor
By Kayode Ekundayo, 3 June 2012

Lagos — Eyewitnesses have told Daily Trust that a young girl was pulled out of the wreckage of the Dana aircraft that crashed in Lagos alive.

A commercial aircraft belonging to Dana Air heading to Abuja on a local flight crashed in densely populated residential area in the Iju/Shaga area of Lagos less than five minutes from Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos.

Several eyewitnesses, including a rescue worker, confirmed the story of the young survivor. Though her nationality and other details about her are not yet known, the eye witnesses said she was white. She was also said to have been badly wounded and was immediately rushed off for medical attention.

Initial reports quoting the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority said it was unlikely any of the 153 passengers on board had survived the crash. There are also believed to be some casualties on the ground. The two-storey building that the plane crashed into reportedly accommodates a church.

I very much hope this is true, I cant seem to find other reports confirming this

Everyone who wants to comment further on this topic should please try and watch the video posted earlier on in the thread to know who the real enemies of nigeria are. I think the north has an agenda: A southerner rules; widespread violence, a northerner rules; peace.
Summary: Allow only the north to rule nigeria

Just my opinion hope i'm wrong

The aim of this thread is to offer information on the best holiday getaways in the country. I believe this is essential because its cheaper and its something you could do on a weekend as against traveling to UK or US for the weekend

So I'll start by giving me review on Micom golf resort:

Its a nice place set in Ada in Osun state with a large golf course.
Price: 4th cadre of room went for 9k plus when I was there
Rooms: Very ok, though not ver very tech.
Light: Steady; Gen comes on when Nepa strikes
Gym : Not spectacular at the time
outdoor: Golf course very nice, a calm place to admire nature
Price of food : Affordable breakfast was like 750 and above Lunch and dinner 1200 and above
Other attractions: Pool, lawn tennis court, internet was formula-1 speed , I must add, try and visit the nearby fish peppersoup place, oh my!!! you'll thank me afterwards.

Overall: Its a very good place, was impressed with the management of the place and quite affordable. see website: [url]http://www.miccomgolfhotels.com/miccom%20HTML/home.html[/url]

I could have reviewed Yankari but My visit was aborted by the post election crises of 2011 during my service year . I heard its also nice.

Kindly offer places you've visited and reviews

shame on this lawmaker!!!

Peterson1993: You guys are complaining while nairaland is fast becoming one of the greatest websites in the world. Probably would be among top 50 websites in the world in two years time. Yes, nairaland does'nt have the perfect design but far above some other with a more than perfect design. The dude knows what he is doing. It is not all about the look but sucess. And only a suitable look can bring success

I agree with all you said except the part in bold. Looks is everything, its part if your brand. To say the truth, I have been on a couple of fora while I agree that NL is a force to reckon with and that Seun is certainly a genius, I have to say that NL 1.0 is better to NL 2.0 in terms of layout. The followed, following tabs are definitely very good. If you doubt what I'm saying google online forums and assess the layouts of what you find in terms of ease access and tell me what you think.

The report notes that the running cost for the sold jet was GBP220,000. I can just imagine how much goes towards the maintenance of our 9-jet presidential fleet. Thats NGN57 million per jet going by this figure.

The other good thing about this beautiful story is that this good woman emerged from the blues and makes me know that such is possible for this country. I wait for our servant president

[quote author=Rolling.]Do all Nigerians own an international passport ? [/quote]I wasn't saying that int'l passports should be the only means of identification in banks I just meant that I dont see why it shouldn't be accepted under the proposed stuff

The government should ban masquerades in that place until the union of masquerades (if there be) comes up with measures to handle the issue

Even an international passport isn't good enough I do not know any country where a passport cannot stand as a valid means of identification for any transaction. The international passport is to me the highest identification tool available

harakiri: @Piyke



...but the bible is fiction so what are you talking about? Do you believe virgins can get pregnant without $exual intercourse? Do you believe a human being can be swallowed by a shark or whale and live in it's stomach for three whole days without air,food or water supply? It's all there in that book of fables you call "the word of god".



Really? And how do you know this? Do you have a biblical quotation to back up your bold statements or are you just making up excuses for your delusional beliefs like all the sheeple do?



Where is this written in the bible? Doesn't the bible frown on it's misrepresentation?



Name one person who has!!!

You know its quite clear that we're not on the same page and matters like this are not about winning an argument as its obvious we have different beliefs.

mazaje: Religion always wins. . . .Christians are now throwing the bible under the bus. . .

Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

The guy out of his faith followed what the bible said and it failed him as always. . .Now the people here are just blabbing any how. . .The same people will talk about extra ordinary healing like their god rising people from the dead etc but when you tell ask them about clear cut healing, like healing of amputees and restoring their amputated limbs back the same goons will begin to blab. . .religion always wins. . .People will always provide excuses for their god even when his alleged word fails. . . .Religion is pure delusion. .

Kindly separate fact from fiction. The scripture you quoted does not suggest that christians should be playing with snakes as a sport which is what is shown by the video posted by kamilara. God's word cannot fail when followed according to spec. A lot of times people misunderstand the word of God and pay the price

ifyalways: @Topic,a simple NO is not enough,well to me,i demand to know "why" too.I believe that to keep it very brief,clean and matured,its better to let the other party know why "you" think that seperation is the best.
Every matured person should be able to let go when given genuine reasons for a break up.

You couldn't have said it better. Its always good to let the other party know why ur parting ways. Not doing this leaves the person wondering what is wrong with him/her

CuteTj: do you visit public hospitals? I guess NO. These doctors act like gods and some even have their own private hospitals and they get paid more than their counterparts in other professions. Lagos State hasn't got what the FG has. If they want to be paid the salary of their counterparts employed by the FG, why don't they seek employment in Federal Government owned hospitals? They were just greedy and they paid for it.

What you've said above is still one of the problems that the medical profession has, you see most doctors i know that are not in states paying the latest salary scale are just trying to switch to the nearest federal hospital. It means they have a job but their mind is not in it and therefore cannot give their best, because you see doctors are human beings and not santa clause. Even here in the UK doctors would be going on strike next month the 21st precisely and its also about their package. I agree that relative to other professions in naija doctors are paid well but coming to think of it, this relative comparisons hides a simple fact; FG's pay-scale for public servants is just poor. 18k as minimum wage and some states are not even paying that, while senators are paid 4times as much as the president of US.

@OP the question you have to answer is what do i want out of a phone? this would let you know the kind of phone you need

Maleeq: What do you mean by "Log-off fails"?

My laptop uptime is currently 21days...I hardly shutdown, I simply "suspend" it. And I haven't had any adverse effect on performance.

I use to almost never shut down until I started noticing a lot of blue screen errors upon coming out of hibernation after years of constant hibernation with few shut downs.

Presently what I do is: I hibernate through out the day but shut down when going to bed, except when i have something being carried over to the next day.

I'll advice every other person to do same, to prevent corruption of files

At least one can have some good news from this same country.

nateevs: Welldone NN if they really did this themselves . . . but meh this is a boat!

cogitoErgo: Good job, but ts a gunboat nd nt a warship! But d effort is really commendable, they should not just stop here, they should build real warship that can beat US imaginations!

I have to agree with the two of you. its a more of a gunboat, guess its the media that splashed the title of warship on it. I'm proud that such a thing is coming from us locally. We truly have the brains its just that we rather prefer to be dependent on imports. A scrutiny of imports to the barest minimum is part what would encourage development.

Jonathan commissions first locally-made warship tomorrow

LAGOS — History will be made tomorrow when President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan commissions the first locally made warship, NNS ANDONI, constructed by Nigerian Navy engineers.

The commissioning ceremony will take place at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The 31m Nigerian Navy Seaward Defence Boat (SDB) was conceived as a research and development project by Vice Admiral GTA Adekeye and Rear Admiral GJ Jonah who were then Chief of the Naval Staff and Chief of Naval Engineering respectively.

The vessel, which was to be designed and built locally, was patterned after the river town class patrol craft in the Nigerian Navy which include NNS YOLA and NNS BRASS, albeit with several modifications as decided by the design team.

The keel of the SDB was laid at the Nigerian Naval Dockyard by the then Chief of the Naval Staff in December 2007 while full construction commenced in January 2008.

Between January 2008 and April 2009, the structural frames and shell plating of the hull and superstructure were completed while the main propulsion and power generation plants were delivered.

Basically this means that the the car's computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly.

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

Faulty spark plugs or wires
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector(s)
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
Faulty camshaft position sensor
Defective computer

Possible Solutions

If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0300

Very good work. Such generosity. Kindly help me check this vin number 1HGCM56363A140201

Chinom: I will throw the question back to you. Why would Nigerian/ African parents go to any length to make sure that their kids born in the UK or USA obtain a Britsh or American Passport ?. NO BRITISH OR AMERICAN CHILD BORN IN NIGERIA APPLIES FOR A NIGERIAN PASSPORT. The Singer Nathalie Imbruglia was born in Nigeria. Does she carry a Naija passport ?. NO. My friend accept the reality and move on.Those questions you posed are just politically correct questions, but utterly meaningless and unrealistic. We have a loooong way to go.

Good point. but I still believe Nigeria is to blame. Our leaders have simply not placed Nigeria on the map globally. For example China Japan etc all developed without western impute. Well I'm still against celebrating this act as if a Nigerian won a gold medal.

I personally think this is not a good idea. What is wrong with our present number of states? Our problem is corruption of our governors and other leaders. There no state in Nigeria in too big to rule. The US has single states bigger than Nigeria. This would just give avenue for more governors, senators, reps from these new states to eat money .

Micky Moore: The question here should be whether or not the constitution empowers GEJ to change Unilag's name - which it does. Why the brouhaha? And we should be careful about the names we call our leaders. GEJ remains our president and should be given the respect of that office. Its not all abt him, its about the office. If we are making criticisms, let it be constructive. Lets face the issues under discourse and stop calling names. Afterall, this man in question could be our father or by far our elder agewise, academically and otherwise. Personally, i least expected this unnecessary protest over an issue that should be applauded. A brother to Chief MKO (may God bless his soul), was there and he didnt see why he should be honoured.If GEJ, a South-southern can honour him, should we crucify him? And we have this problem of criticising anything that govt. does. If its not SNG shouting from rooftops, it'll be another body screaming. My problem is that u'll not see any of them coming up with a blue-print on how the economy can be better managed. Always looking for something to criticise. These people in power are human beings like me and u. They're not God. They do not know it all. Afterall, have we not seen how those who were throwing criticisms before they became govs are performing - Gov Aregbesola is termed worst-performing gov today. We know his antecedents. Please, lets show respect for leaders and make constructive and informed criticisms. Thank u.

Even if you have constitutional rights to effect a name change, you should also carry people along shouldn't you? after all it is us the citizens that gave you that power to effect changes.

I do congratulate him its no easy feat.

However the way we celebrate these kind of achievements raises a bugging question in my mind; does it come from an unconscious mindset that these people(whites) are better than us? It wouldn't be news to celebrate if a Briton got a top post in Nigeria. So why should we really celebrate?
