Thank God for their life sha

Many won't understand. Had a terrible experience in July. Was going from Lagos to PH via airpeace. The turbulence was out of this world. I passed out many times. All thanks to God for His Mercies.

The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and other passengers had an horrifying experience during a flight from Port-Harcourt, Rivers state capital to Lagos.

It was gathered that the flight via Arik airline experienced a two hour turbulence mid-air, leaving the passengers frightened and in panic as they engaged in serious prayers and praise worship aboard the plane.  

Read below how it happened as shared by a flight passenger Grend Miebaka Ibimina. 

THE GOD SAVED RT HON. ROTIMI C. AMAECHI AND MANY OTHERS ON ARIK AIR FLIGHT ENROUTE PH-LOS.

No place for argument! We left port Harcourt at about 22:00, experienced some turbulence while descending into Lagos, the pilot said there was storm passing through WA this period, and that it was a rare occurrence. At about 23:30, he made the first attempt to land, I sat by the window so I could see a bit more, the plane was close to touching the ground, when a sudden wind came from the side and took over the plane, pilot aborted the landing, with the plane shaking from side to side due to the wind force, and the engines crying from very high RPM, he made his way back up. People shouted, cried, prayed, and there I was forming cool guy.

My colleague siting behind said "Ibimina, that was a close call" Mr cool guy was there quite saying we will land soon, soon turned into over 2 hours of the pilot struggling to control the plane, people passing out, prayers turning into receive my soul...

But just before the failed first attempt of five attempts, the Lord asked me to pray because it will be worse, I felt it was my many documentaries on "moments before disaster" getting the better of me. For more than two hours, we died many deaths, I thought about my wife and my son, as tears dripped down my face(I just started crying again).

A thought came to me to say my final prayers, the pilot was finding it difficult to steady the plane for over an hour, then I asked myself why did He ask me to pray, if I will still die, so I refused to pray any prayer of "receive my soul" I began to shout Tamunodein!!!!(the peace of God) which happens to be my son's name, I said the storms obeyed You, they will obey you again today, I refuse to die like this!

I speak your peace and declare that You provide a window for this plane to land, by the sixth attempt HE gave us a window and we landed at about 01:02am today. The air hostes at some point started shouting, "people, call upon God, we will survive, raise your praises God is able to do it"

I can't write all that happened, but when we got off the plane, someone from the control room met us and said we went off the radar more than three times. My colleague went to the curpit to thank the pilot, and he told him, he had flown over 50 planes and has never seen this before.

They gathered today to end us, but the Lord sent HIS angels, and Rebuked them.

A thousand tongues truly won't be enough... The Lord spared our lives.

May God bless the pilot of Arik Air flight W3745 from PH - LOS, to all those that survived with me, including the minister of transport, we owe Him our lives. He is a great deliverer!!!

99.9% of turbulence doesnt lead to plane crash.

No big deal in turbulence guys.

Jesus, I thank you for this miracle. May your name be praised forevermore. Amen

They should have thrown Amaechi off the plane the way Jona was thrown into the sea.
He was responsible for that turbulence.

I experienced similar incident last year from Lagos to Abuja. We spent like 2hrs as well. Your analysis is right. These things do happen

God has nothing to do with this.There were just lucky.simple.

Are they better than the 189 people that plunged into the Jakarta waters today? or the Leicester city CEO that perished with 4 of his employees?


Nothing but luck

I stopped getting scared since I found out.

I wonder. Also, the air hostess was so unprofessional by asking passengers to pray thereby deteriorating the already deteriorated situation.

The only person at risk of dying was the man who chose to kneel and pray rather than put on his seat belt .

Nigerians sha can dramatize anything to make it look like na dem specia to God pass Here is the true story the Left PH late and arrived LOS just as a storm was approaching , the pilot was given the go by the control tower to proceed with land based on Captains judgement , the captain made the approach and was not satisfied with the visibility of the runway and condition on ground so he powered up for a go around to see let the storm pass believing that the storm would have passed in minutes but the storm took longer to pass to the had to maintain and holding pattern on the outskirts of Lagos till conditions got better to land ... at no time where the passengers at any kind of risk as the plane was in great condition and only entered a holding pattern as safety precaution which is commendable If the turbulence was that bad believe the pilot would have easily moved for another airport ...

I knew the story had exaggerations to make it sound sweet. It's a Nigeria thing to exaggerate stories.
Not only prayer. If our supposed leaders could think this way.

my greatest fear is plane crash... this life self is somehow, if u haven't make it you will pray after things started going your way u need more prayer so that enemies won't finally rejoice over one's life that he/she is one of d victim of plane crash... god protect me and everyone here, we shall not be a victim of plane crash IJN

This is Nigeria, logic just doesn't always apply. So thank God for them not been made statistics.

The op lied where he said they attempted to land 5 times...
I think it is 2times attempt before they can divert to nearest airport..
also they probably took off because of poor visibility or miss-approach.
