This is what happens when a country starts prioritizing DEI optics over genuine merit and scientific excellence. It’s the same decay we saw in the Nigerian civil service, where “federal character” forced the selection of individuals based not on competence, but on state or regional quotas at the expense of quality. The rot creeps in quietly, then collapses all at once. From aircraft manufacturers to engineering teams, unqualified hires chosen to check identity boxes rather than meet technical standards are now bearing bitter fruit of their incompetence. USA is now witnessing the consequences, just like Nigeria have witnessed it for generations now.
This comment is based on blatant ignorance and misinformation, and absolute stupidity if you are a black person. You are repeating verbatim RACIST propaganda used by white Americans to reserve the best jobs for themselves and perpetuate white privilege. Some of you are too ignorant to comment of subject matter way above your knowledge. DEI was created to equalise society and make it less racist and ensure fairness to everybody.
In Nigeria, I have heard many stupid southerners talking derogatory things about Federal Character. Do you really think we are better than the northerners? Really?
Go and get real life education not necessarily academic type. And GTFOH!

First of all, do you live in the west?
I can tell you categorically that there is nothing good about the west!

Absolutely! The guy is full of ignorance, some of them wants to comment just to mark their presence. He ended up embarrassing himself. He couldn't answer the questions I asked him now he is silent.

What is DEI?
Thunderfayamods:
You people will just be saying rubbish! During Bush, Obama, Clinton, Biden DEI was in place how often do you hear of plane incidents or crashes? And for the ones that crashed did you hear of any NTSB report blaming DEI?
You don't even know yet the cause of the fire. To you even if a plane has normal technical problems it is DEI..what a way of reasoning!

Is everywhere even in Russia

"An urgent search has been launched after a passenger plane went missing with 42 on board. The Antonov An-24 plane run by Angara Airline plane was flying from Khabarovsk in Russia to Blagoveshchensk and then to Tynda, and has not been contactable."

A 🇺🇸 US Delta Airlines plane caught fire shortly after takeoff at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday.

Shocking video captured the moment a Delta Air Lines plane’s engine burst into flames shortly after takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport, forcing pilots to turn the plane around.

The Boeing 767 was en route to Atlanta with 226 passengers and 9 crew members on Friday when the left engine malfunctioned mid-air, the airline said, according to KABC.

Guy you dey make me dey fear now. I go enter plane for the very first time in about a week time. Good abeg oh🙏🙏
If you encourage fear you will quench even when there's no issue.

Fund ways to occupy your time

Eat well before you trip.
Hopefully your flight has entertainment
Carry books or music...time in the plane goes much slower.
Pray for safe skies and a good flight team.
SLEEP!
Jetlag is real

He was trying to say that America employed people who are not qualified to run their aviation industry because of the DEI program. Which is not true.

It must be you're a good guy to confess all your sins in such a short time. It will take me the whole flight ...going and coming .... for me to confess half the sins I committed so far in this month. I salute you.

Delta was on the news for something recently. These airlines having problems with their workers and maintenance....then with Trump and his tariffs ... I wouldn't be surprised if the fire was caused by parts bought from another source instead of China.
