Tune to Lagos Talks 91.3 fm @ 9am, for Festus Keyamo's version on the Apostle Suleman's scandal, with Jimi Disu!

I see this as a way of prolonging president Bubu's stay in London. This is indeed a great excuse . I pity Nigeria

So should we be expecting our President via Kaduna Airport

Okay

.

Systematic failure of all previous government. I mean if time to time maintenance and rehabilitation have been carried out over the years. This long closure would have been needless.

The 11th thing you should know is that no matter how hard FG tries to build the confidence of foreign airliners regarding the safety of their operations, the likes of British Airways wouldn't operate @ Kaduna airport.

Why am I suspecting that they are looking for a way to smuggle in a fulani man?

All join

One thing you should also know is that Buhari can't be home in the next six weeks.

I can bet you that less than 40% of these arrangements will be provided. Nigeria, we are good at making laws but implementing n'a wash

Why were people complianing about using kaduna?

...I never knew Kaduna was such a savage state that required this much special security measures.

What's tha business?

All I see is stress and inconvenience.

Procedures are followed when it involves the rich. Meanwhile, several roads can be closed when doing repairs without any communication or alternative root
