berem: Going through the real story,marrying a foreigner is against the customs of the Igbodo people. The king is to marry a native of Igbodo as his first wife then he can have other wives from other ethnic groups if he so wishes. If it is their custom,so it be,but for the King to go against such law is wickedness and stoopid! What now becomes of the first wife?

Awakullowo: Everywhere they go, they are rejected. They are misfit anywhere you see them, even the people of Igbodo in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State rejected their daughter. It sucks to be ibo!

Starlett: Well, guys, I've followed the heated debate for a while now.. here's Starlett's take:
I appeal to our Nairalanders from the SE to cool tempers a bit. Personally I don't know if Cpt Ore meant his comments in good faith, if he was speaking out of ignorance, or if he truly is averse to any perceived competition to beloved Lasgidi. But one thing is clear, that we need to decentralize points of commerce and industry from Lagos. If only this simple Fed Govt policy to develope the South East, (coming soooo many decades belatedly) could generate such criticism from him, then imagine what would happen if other similar policies come up to further open up the South East to the world.

I personally don't think Cpt Dele Ore bears any animosity towards the Igbo. However, this goes further to show how much so many Nigerians have taken for granted that all good things in Nigeria must be situated in or around Lagos/Abuja. Wrong! And did I hear some people saying that it's not advisable for a country to have more than one or two points of intl entry/departure? I beg your pardon! London ALONE has got THREE international airports - Heathrow, Gatwick, and London City. Heathrow with 5 terminals. Countless intl airports abound in US. Virtually evey major city has got one. Houston, Dallas, NYC, D.C, Baltimore, etc etc etc.. from coast to coast!
The important thing is the ability to get airlines that will make any intl airport their base. THe Ethiopian chaps have not complained that they're running at a loss in Enugu, and I suspect that by the turn of the year, some other airlines (some of whom may already be operating in Nigeria out of other intl airports) will also rush to Enugu. Of course, El Al is a key one - GEJ is going to finalize Nig-Israel BASA in Israel this week. Who knows, perhaps five or less years down the line, those of us who have been complaining that the Igbo don't want to stay in their zone may be surprised.

malele: This is a typical youroba reasoning, dey don't like competition, dey want FG to help them get everything and they will be the same people to tell u to go to ur village. Seriously I don't understand the kind of human beings those people are.

Orlando Owoh: So there are just two ethnic groups on this thread - Yoruba and Igbo? The people that say she must quit are Yoruba? See how low your reasoning is. I pity you.

Midastouch1: Please stop talking nonsense. You only "tongue lash" them because they are APC members!

If you still think what Stella has done is not condemnable then you should be ashamed of yourself

nnenna.1:
Stella Oduah has implicated herself and should face her punishment like every public servant caught stealing. She should give account of why such an amount of money was used for just 2 cars. Period.

lakhadimar: reuben abati and doyin okupe are both yorubas and here on nairaland we see yoruba poster bash and tongue lash them daily but anytime an ibo or s/s politician is rebuked you guys become defensive

Mo'R'on

If it were to be Tinubu or fashola that were involved, I wondered if you'd still make this kind of comment.

Donmams: As expected bigoted non-muslims are celebrating the unjustified killing of muslims. What excuse does the JTF have to kill anyone extrajudicially? What are the courts for? And because these animals supporting sheer wickedness have no conscience, including programmed hate of everything Islamic, cannot spot the injustice being perpetrated here. I can still remember Kabiru Sokoto is yet to be convicted. As a matter of fact no one has been convicted for being even remotely involved with Boko Haram. You fools simply can't see that the Gov't is using the BH problem to carry out a nefarious agenda.

Okija_juju: Me I follow "like" the post o!!


How far the gift na?!

3Dimension: Some folks will just pick dir fone and start typing nonsense because of dir tribal inclination...
How on earth will a plane mishap be blamed on God and u want nigerians to keep quiet? What is the no 1 priority of MR president himself if not the protection of lives and property of the populace.
What is the major reason why she is occupying that position if not to ensure safety and modalities in the aviation sector. If according to the senate..about 7 aviation accident (some avoided) had been recorded under two yrs then I don't think she has any idea on how to move the tide forward..


AIR MISHAP IS NOT A NATURAL DISASTER. IT IS HUMAN. IT IS COWARDICE TO BLAME AVOIDABLE PROBLEMS ON GOD. IT IS A SHAME !!!

berem: I am highly disappointed at your comments. I can't believe you and some other Igbo bigots will be so tribalisitc about the appointment of Stella Oduah as minister. You should know on records that Igbos have lost more lives in the air crash than any other ethnic group during her tenure. The Dana air crash is a perfect example. What do you say about that? Not because you didn't lose a loved one in any of the crash makes you care less about those who did. Sentiments aside, Stella should be fired immediately and another competent fellow be appointed. I don't really give a damn where the new minister should come from.All we want is no more crashes and loss of lives.

Symphony007: before you decend into your tribal demeanor. Note that the first person to call for her resignation is eke ekweremadu. The deputy senate president and a fellow igbo.

Chima_Adeoye: [size=15pt]All these useless Yoruba/ APC bigots.

In all of Nigeria's history even when Ministers like Fani Kayode licensed planes for their girlfriends to fly airline businesses, when was an Aviation Minister ever asked to resign because of an aircrash? But because Madam Stella Oduah is Igbo, now she must resign,even when NCAA and not the minister is responsible for licensing planes.

If they are not doing their campaign of calumny against Dr. Okonjo Iweala,it will be against Diezani K. Alison-Madueke or Stella Otti.

Why not ask Omobola Johnson, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade, Mrs. Olajumoke Akinjide, Akinwumi Adeshina and Olusegun Aganga to resign for their lacklustre performance in government?

Anyhow, like Okonjo Iweala told them recently " I serve at the pleasure of the President who appointed me and who shall relieve me of the appointment when my performance falls below his expectation" Simply put, SORRY, I WILL NOT RESIGN FOR SHAMELESS TRIBALISTS AND BIGOTS![/size]

egift: After Nigerians marched the streets and brought out GEJ from Madam YarAdua's kitchen, Jonathan in his weakness, Mr. President have remain at the service of the Cabals.

He is so scared of them, he can't even bark.

And for my friends shouting 2015, Jonathan have no new ideas.

Gombs: The bold words threw me into an epileptic laughter


Oh Lawdy Lord !

Billyonaire: Anambra People know their tradition and Anambra People should vote the better thief.

As a stranger, I will say none of the candidates is qualified to govern Anambra. Soludo was best.

Dat~ibo~boi:

Alfa Seltzer: Indeed. That soup is very dangerous.

kingbang: You just joined Nairaland on September 30th just to come and list Obi's sins. hahahhahaha . Jobless ekuke.

Onlytruth: You captured my sentiments exactly! The man changed the way I think about fellow Igbo...for the worse.
He deflamed my Igbo nationalism.

Kairoseki77: Interesting

bcomputer101: The Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, on Tuesday
hit back at Mr. Femi Fani-Koyede, describing him as an
ignorant individual, who “should hide his head in
shame.”
Fani-Kayode, a former minister of Aviation, had
criticised the Peoples Democratic Party for expressing
confidence in Oduah despite the air crashes that had
happened during her tenure as minister.
“How many more people have to be killed in air crashes
before our President (Dr. Goodluck Jonathan) realises
that he needs a new Minister of Aviation?” Fani-Kayode
had asked.
But Oduah said in Abuja that Fani-Kayode was
misleading innocent Nigerians and needed sympathy.
She spoke at an aviation safety event organised by the
Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation and hosted by
the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
Oduah said, “I have huge sympathy for them, the
ignorant people in particular. Because when you speak
out of context, when you speak under the influence of
whatever it is you are under, you speak incorrectly and
you mislead innocent Nigerians and that is what he has
done. And he really should hide his head in shame.”
Fani-Kayode, while reacting to Oduah’s comments about
him, asked the minister to grow up and stop being petty.
He said, “My advice and counsel to her is to grow up and
stop being petty. She is meant to talk like someone who
befits her office and not like a market woman or a fish
wife.
“I do not like joining issues with women publicly which is
why I was very gentle with her in my essay though I
made my point.
“But this particular woman is endangering the lives of
our people with her incompetence and insensitivity and
we cannot just keep quiet.
“This is a woman under whose watch almost 200 people
have been killed as Aviation Minister and instead of
focusing on how to save lives her obsession has become
smearing and abusing Femi Fani-Kayode.”
He said it was wrong for the minister to tell Nigerians
that ‘’accidents are inevitable’’ and that they were ‘’acts
of God.”
“This is a woman who thinks more about how her
headscarf looks, her jewelry and the jewelry of others
more than she does about protecting Nigerian air
travellers,” he added.
He said if anyone should bury her head in shame it
should be the minister and not him.
