But isn't it time Boeing is blacklisted?

Since the crash of Ethiopian airlines till now, still the same brand taking lives.

If it was another country's brand, US would have made a lot of noise

😀

Sanctions galore for anyone (and their family) who proposes blacklisting.

If you can't avoid Boeing, fly with a first-rate airline.

Seun, we go leave Nairaland for you oh, which Kain nonsense be this

Why should Boeing be blacklisted? It has become natural and easy to blame the manufacturer (Boeing) but have failed to evaluate other critical factors like maintenance, age of the plane, sabotage, weather, pilot error, etc.

I went through S.eu.n's post history when I saw MorataFC posts about the word limit thing and when I didn't see any comment on the issue I dismissed it as normal NL chatter.

But I just experienced it now and all I can say is Omo!

The good thing about this is that it means S.e.u.n is hard at work and trying to innovate and improve the forum. Make we see as e go pan out.

It can't work in sport section .
In sport thread we like to drop small small comment when live Match is on.
Just imagine a goal is scored and you shout the name of the scorer .
JACKSONNN. or GOAAAAL
...but then, and you are told to make it 40 characters .

What NL does is different. Its promotes discussion on various topics. IG tiktok leans towards entertainment strictly. Nairaland informs and educate plus give a forum for different perspective
The bulk of NL as at today are millennials
Maybe if the GenZ get older maybe they will also be more interested in the type of discussions on NL vs just entertainment of IG

Make Seun no too rock the boat, NL is fine s it was and was serving its purpose. Only twitter comes close to it when it involves well rounded discussions in the Naija space

Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter offer the same. Abi wetin people dey do for the comment section of stories & videos posted on those platforms no be discussion?

Anyways, I'm more focused on the numbers. NL has been around for 20 years. We can all agree that for NL to have a membership of only 3.2m peeps within that period is poor vis-a-vis the number of internet subscribers in Nigeria and Nigerians in diaspora.

I think tiktok is focused on small 30secs entertainment, there is a limit of education or information you can do in 30secs

IG na just longer tiktok. How many times do you think they are debating indepth politics on Tiktok or IG?

Twitter yes they do

NL has been around for 20yrs but its mainly for Nigerians. Tiktok and IG forces you to open an account to even get a chance to view, that was what made many people like me even open accounts

NL you dont have to open an account yet get to consume the content

You will also agree that it takes some level of confidence to comment on some topics on NL. I know many people who read NL but do not comment because they cant keep up with gbasgbos or have deep knowledge of the topic

Its also easier to relate to the cheesy light hearted content of Tiktok an IG vs debating Tinubus budget

take away multiple monikers and abandoned ids and it may not be up to 500k users

tik tok dem are not really the same imho. they are more for entertainment than actual deep discussions. unfortunately people are being primed towards the idea that you can actually use them as a source of coherent information

i regularly go to youtube for tutorial content.

i am not sure you can find that on tikok or instagam. best i can do with instagram is lok for sellers of some itemss

Tiktok now allows for long-form videos...not sure how long sha, but I watch videos of over 5 mins there.

3.2 M?
Me have 2 accounts and I know it's not limited to me alone, so if we do plus and minus the active subscribers will just exceed 2m max.

I am frequent flyer and can say I have a healthy experience with flying and planes.

Again, not saying Boeing doesn't have a history, however, this history (with a lot of sensationalism padded) has eroded our ability to ask questions rather than hasty generalization. Do you know the number of Airbus planes that have suffered mishaps during the same period? Boeing is the face of commercial airplanes in the world, so I can understand.

While I am sympathetic to the lives lost, I think I will wait for the black box report/ investigation. India is a developing country and like Nigeria, I will most definitely not putting it past maintenance. Na for Nigeria we see deaths from poor maintenance culture.

Piling on Boeing after a crash like this isn't right. I will wait for the investigation. Before today's crash, the 787-8 Dreamerliner had an immaculate safety and flight record. I believe this is it's first major loss, I stand corrected.

RIP to the dead

The bold shows u don't use TikTok nor do u know much about how it works.

TikTok has since moved beyond this ; in fact the number of educational contents on TikTok cannot be matched with what U have in Facebook and IG combined.

There are different niche of contents on TikTok ; from tech TikTok to sports, to educational and even politics. The age of 30 seconds TikTok videos is in the long past.

For example, u can get all the information u need about a woman's pregnancy from implantation to delivery on TikTok. They will keep pushing contents upon contents posted by medical practitioners who are content creators on the app to your FYP the moment u make a search relating to pregnancy.

Same thing u can have educating contents focused on programming, tech skills, etc appearing on Ur FYP consistently just because u show interest in searching something related to it.

Why do the west lie so much? Does it make them sleep good at night?

Boeing was in the news for multiple incidents last year. To the point where a whistleblower mysteriously died.

It is the point where people in us dey avoid Boeing flight

Look at the comment section

Russia has suffered 1 million combat losses in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion.

This is the devastating human cost Putin is inflicting on his own people.

This invasion is a betrayal of his people who are bearing the true cost of this war.#StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/bilj1zC19o

It's nice to know that people are now eyes opened to reality..

Imagine when it was the days of local tabloid newspaper 📰🗞️, where would we have gotten real news? With constant lying and spreading of propaganda by these mainstream media's..

Thank you Elon musk for X, thank you Vladimir Putin for putting the west where they belong..

The screenshots u attached are talking about Teo different things na.

The first screenshot claims 1 million Russians have died since the start of the war.

The second screenshot is talking about exchange of bodies.

I hope u know it's not all the Russians that died within Ukraine territory that will have their bodies exchanged during the exchange of bodies? I mean people who were bombed to smithscreens definitely can have their bodies exchanged.

PS: I'm not saying the 1 million figures claimed in the first screenshot is correct or wrong O; I'm only pointing it out that u can't use the second screenshot to fault the first screenshot.

I never bothered to open cos there are issues with having tiktok account on devices you might be using for US govt jobs. Not like I work with the US govt, but if its that "rsky" then its probably not worth it for now. Maybe when US buys tiktok, then I can watch more

As recent as February this year, an Airbus departing Houston caught fire as it tried to take off. A month earlier (January, 2025) an Airbus also caught fire in a similar scenario in Hong Kong.

Did you hear those? Now, imagine if those incidents were Boeing?

The funny thing is that the closest to YouTube amongst all the social media platform is TikTok. You get to see tutorial contents too on TikTok if u know where to look.

Putards have limited reasoning capability. Let's say Russia is exchanging 500-1000 bodies every few months, is that also indicative of the number of Ukrainians they are killing?

As if Ukraine will waste their limited energy to store Russian corpses for propaganda reasons.

lol, so you sef fall for the propaganda

1 million russian deaths, which data them use get the number?

If Russia has 1 million death that means Ukraine must've had around 10-20 million deaths taking into cognisance of the recently exchange ratio of the dead soldiers.

The dead ratio of russian to Ukraine is around 20:1..

Recently Russia gave Ukraine 1667 bodies while Ukraine gave around 62.. with almost 5k+ still remaining to be claimed

If no be for musk, where we for dey fact check all these mainstream propaganda machines?

Reason I say God bless Elon musk and Vladimir Putin

You are missing the point.

I don't know if the 1 million figure is right or wrong because I don't follow the news on the Russia-Ujraine war for a long time now. But what I'm saying is that u cannot use the second screenshot talking about exchange of bodies to disprove the first screenshot because they are talking about two different things.

In fact, if u check through the second screenshot u will see that they put a caveat that the figures relating to exchange of bodies are not the total casualty figures. It simply means there are other people that must have died but their bodies are not accounted for in the exchange of bodies exercise

What's this new rubbish trend of telling people what to do with their money sef? 🤷‍♂️

I mean money they earned through sheer hard work o, and one person will.just put on ring light be telling them what they should and should not do with their money.

I like how this person in the second screenshot called out the yeye hypocrisy of this Very darkman

244 onboard the Air India plane but 290 confirmed dead meaning close to 50 confirmed dead on the ground

The plane crashed into a Doctors lodge

Big loss of high value lives on the ground and a blow to the medical community

RIP to the dead.

Boeing 747 max had the software problem that always forced it to nosedive, claiming lives in Indonesia and also in Ethiopia where our beloved Pius Adesanmi was killed, however the Dreamliner has had a perfect record till now. It must be bird strike.
