django1: Wow nigeria actually got this one right. Look at the goals those 13 year olds are scoring!! And I can see kelechi iheanacho there, those boys are truly young.

Those boys are young. Despite them being young, I am sure some people here will still call them "overaged" players.

Afam4eva: The future is reall bright for Nigerian football. I never knew a time will come when we'll use underage players for an underage competition and win matches. Looking at these guys, they look very young.

Your mentality is the kind of mentality that has stifled Nigeria's development and her football development. You think that you can't win without cheating.

Don't you know that Nigeria reduced her chance of winning all those times she was using overaged players? You are better off using young, fresh legs who still have a lot of energy to run, rather than using a grandpa who cannot run.

atundeola2020: pls what is the current score now

3-0 Naija

useless freekick call

na waa ooo. see as friends plenty as the guy don collect $3K

Wale112: Good result by Nigeria. Igbos are doing well in that team!

your fada. what about all the goals scored by abokis? I mean Yahaya and Muhammed.

fergiiosugo: Am really worried dat all our boys can do is score! Dy re nt strong in defending and nt too smart in d midfield! If they meet brazil dy wud have a big problem handling dem!

In team sports 101, any coach will tell you that the best defense is a great offense.

See as ebele resemble Agbero!!!

homesteady: That means FIFA website gave us wrong info!

Nigeria lost to Argentina in the final, I think. We are talking about group stages here, son!

Yoruba boy (Awoniyi) rescues Nigeria from the throes of defeat.

Sweden's second goal should have been disallowed. I just saw the replay, where the left winger had stepped out of bounds and came back in before he crossed the ball to the person who headed the ball in.

This video impedes the momentum generated by the skelewu instructional video and the videos submitted by entrants to the skelewu dance competition. It impedes it because the video does not give sufficient coverage to the skelewu dance steps--an integral, if not major, part of the skelewu song.

The resultant effect is that people who want to learn the skelewu dance steps have to search other YouTube videos submitted by entrants to the skelewu competition to learn those steps, a substantial setback to the skelewu movement. In my opinion, the video should have at the very least featured other skelewu dancers and, of course, the winner of the skelewu dance competition, whose skelewu dance steps makes him a skelewu master.

The video directed by Sesan was better than this one in that it at least showcased the skelewu dance steps, but the video's post production and editing was poor. That could have been fixed by sending the video to another facility for editing. Making a new video was utterly unnecessary and a waste of money, as the video appeared to have been rushed.

victorazy: Yep! U made point but he made a "nice" move.
Nigeria is now serving as World Dust Being and something need to be done ablout it.
You said somthing about job opp, this is the greatest way of providing job opp for the masses. All hail Mr President.

This is not the greatest way to create jobs for the populace. The greatest way to do so is by building a solid network of good roads in Nigeria, providing stable power supply, improving the security of country, developing the broadband internet infrastructure, and improving the public education sector. Doing all these things creates an enabling environment that invariably attracts investors to establish industries.

At the very least stable power and good roads should have been in place before this policy was instituted.

Od31: To me this policy is senseless at this time. first they must be able know the primarily reason why investors are not encouraged to come to Nigeria. First the necessary infrastructure are not in place, Power, good transportation system - means of moving goods from one part of the nation to another (where there is the means, it comes as a high cost) which of course will increase their cost of production as compared to other part of the world, then necessary tax relief that will encourage them. Nigeria already has one of the highest import tax, and tarrif, so I should have expected a govt that has the masses in mind, to first make Power supply available( so the industries will no bear the extra cost of generating power for themselves), provide substantive tax relief including import tax relief of the raw materials for the auto-industries for a given period to enable them get well established, with all these, their overall cost of production will not be as high as it will be giving the present state of infrastructure in the country. This will also reduce the cost of the cars the will produce. Over Govt is only interested in collecting and collecting without minding the effect it will have on the masses. Increasing the Tarriff to me is not the solution to the problem of the auto-industry in nigeria. The problem is majorly the high cost of doing business in Nigeria. That should be tackled first!

You took words out of my mouth. Our govt. is putting the cart before the horse.

Tinkybabe: Thanks OP
but what does a rainbow colour urine indicate?

HIV infection

Steezz: LMAO!!! Thats wat i thot. Ethiopians are 2 skinny and fragile 2 score an ''ogidigba'' kinda goal hence the 2 funny-lookin goals As a West African u'r born naturally strong! The same cant be said for East Africa tho

GBAM

In real football, it is not a goal if the ball does not shake or tear the net. If Ethiopia wanted an incontrovertible goal, they should have blasted the ball into the net and shake the net ogidipa, not pass the ball into the hands of the keeper or play the ball such that our defender cleared the ball away and then make a stupid argument that the ball went pass the goal line.

mustaphagreens: What are you suggesting that we employ robots to fly our planes? Atleast robots are free of human errors!

Robots are built by humans, so it is subject to human error. Any human error in building the robot can cause the robot to malfunction.

Saying that white people should run our airline industry shows the inferiority complex of the pilot. The issue is that our aviation sector is run by individuals with neither aviation experience nor education in a field related to aviation. Take, for example, the minister of aviation, whose background is in accounting and business administration, a field completely unrelated to aviation. Now how do you expect her--an accountant--to run effectively a ministry of aviation? That is the problem.

To the contrary, we have had blacks do good jobs in running an organization, as shown by the minister of agriculture, which is a good case study. Minister Adesina has a PhD in agricultural economics and has experience running regulatory bodies pertaining to agriculture, which obviously is his passion and expertise. He is doing a good job in the Ministry of Agriculture.

I weep for this country. Very soon they will start praying for the roads to build themselves.

Wooooooow! Ice Prince don come a looooooong way...from a yaro yaro to a full grown aboki.

The pwesh air is blowing all over me.

labalaba: Measurement and Buka? I don't think they measure anything oh

Yes they do. It is called eyeball measurement, where you can use experience to determine the ratio of tomato to Tatase to rodo and to alubosa in order to get a good result.

A 23-yr. old aircraft definitely needs to be maintained more than a brand new or young aircraft. Maintenance culture is a foreign concept in Nigeria, as evidenced by our decaying infrastructure, our decapitated airports, our run down transportation buses, and so on. An aircraft is a very sophisticated machine that needs to be maintained according to manufacturer's specification. Now if common BRT buses and electric sliding doors cannot be maintained in Nigeria, what makes you think that an aircraft--given its level of complexity--can be properly maintained?


Moreover, the fact that maintenance was allegedly performed in June in and of itself is insufficient to show that the maintenance was performed to meet international standards. The maintenance may have been negligently or recklessly done or, given Nigeria's level of corruption, may not have been done at all but written down as if it were done. The aircraft owners may have bribed the inspector or official responsible for approving the inspection report, that is if there is any such inspector in the first place. Even if any such inspector existed, there is an issue as to whether the inspector had the requisite education, training, or experience for an airline inspector. The inspector, if any, may likely have gotten his or her job not based on merit but based on his connections with an, as we all know, " oga at the top."

Hence, the reasons of Nigeria's abysmal aviation record, despite being Africa's second largest economy.

Most Americans stopped using BB and switched to Android and IPhone. America determines what the world uses, so Blackberry's demise was inevitable once they lost market share in America. That simple.

geek: Perhaps you should try to do some research before making such bold claims:

British Airways - http://avherald.com/h?article=45c24847
American Airlines - http://avherald.com/h?article=468952bb&opt=0
Lufthansa - http://avherald.com/h?article=468d4c78&opt=0
Emirates - http://avherald.com/h?article=458dbb78/0000&opt=0
KLM - http://avherald.com/h?article=4686d5f0&opt=0
Delta - http://avherald.com/h?article=46736e7d&opt=0

All of these are from massive airlines in 'civilized countries' as you put it, where they do 'routine maintenance' and 'machines are retired'.

So now that your theory has been rubbished, what's your next worthless point?

Do you have a brain? I said that engine failure is not routine. I never said it was non existent. You have cited an incident of engine failure that has occurred in different countries. Now tell me, with your okrika brain, given the number of flights that take place in USA alone, let alone in USA and Europe combined, how have your isolated incidents made it become a routine thing for engine to fail.

Perhaps you need to check the definition of routine before you start blabbing.

Also most of your links has nothing to do with engine failure. It had to do with the pilots purposefully shutting down one engine as a precaution because of a leak or other faulty issues. It is far different from a engine failure on its own, as in an engine giving up by itself. That is a scary situation.

In the last Dana flight that crashed, both engines shut down by themselves.

ceejayluv: Aircraft engines are a lot more complicated than automobile engines. Many factors could contribute to failure, one of the most common is Bird strike. For the fact that pilots are trained to fly with one engine as a routine, shows that one engine failing mid flight is more common than you think.

Bird strikes usually occur during take off or landing, not during cruising altitude, which is around 27,000 to 30,000 feet. No mammal can survive at the outside temperature at that range. The plane supposedly lost its engine 25 mins into the flight, at which time they were at cruising altitude, which rules out a bird strike.

blayz0923: please shut ur mouth..... engine failure is a normal thing, no machine is 100% efficient.
when things happen in Nigeria, its always blown out of proportion and ppl like u make silly comments. please check major airliners world wide, u will be shocked to know Nigeria's airspace is one of the safest.

besides, u aint an aviator to know wat an 'engine failure' is and the procedures in managing it.

Shut your dirty mouth. Engine failure during a commercial flight IS NOT a normal thing in civilized countries where machines undergo ROUTINE MAINTENANCE and machines ARE RETIRED after so many years in service AND SOLD TO investors who take them to RETARDED COUNTRIES like NIGERIA where engine failure now becomes a normal thing.

josh4ever: Please tell us how the passengers saw the loss of the turbine at the back of the plane From where? This poster is a useless liar from the pit of Hell

In my attached picture of a Dana plane, the engines are so far rear you cannot see it even if u stretch your neck like a giraffe!

And the rear door is indeed an emergency exit. It is smaller than the regular exit and cannot be used as a disembarkation point

It is possible that the poster is not apt at explaining very well the circumstances surrounding the incident. This does not mean, however, that the engine did not fail mid air. Let's wait for Dana Air to either confirm or deny the incident. In the meantime, leave your challenges to aviation experts.

And for your info, I think it is possible to see the engine from the middle section of the plane. If you are sitting just around the beginning of the second half of the plane, it looks as though you can see the engine if you look outside of the window.
