@ Afam

I am still trying to understand your position. Is it that the committee does not have enough evidence to pin Obj vis a viz his excellent article (as You put it) or is that Obj did the best he could given the resources he had?  undecided


We can go on and on twisting the facts like we always do. No be Nigerians  grin We can also sit down and write beautiful essays to cover up our yansh. Posterity would be the judge. However, I would really love to know the answers to the sentences highlighted below.
Bha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy

Keep waiting for answers I say! cheesy Still no account of how 16 Billion Naira was spent.  Only a nice lullaby to sing some already "tipsy" people like OBJ himself to sleep. grin This man really graduated with honors from his "I Dey Kampke" school of "Theology"! He must be smoking dried brown grass from his Ota farm over there to think all these big big grammar can fool Nigerians. This can only please some half baked illiterate scholars from Covenant University located inside his farms over there. He wants to prove to us he can speak and write the Queen's "English" or what?

Say what?

Gosh!  I love Nigerians!

I guess we should wait patiently for "SaharaReporters" to do us the favors!


I love their punchline: REPORT YOURSELF!!!

Welcome back too! cheesy

texazzpete:
I'm not a lawyer, but i know the NBA's prayer to prevent BA from ever allowing Omotade's arrest for ANY issue FOREVER is pretty dumb.

Why's BA made the scapegoat here anyway? Omotade was arrested by the british Police, not BA.
Don't mind the illiterate London bush man!  He can't even dare to sue the British Met Police.  As far as I am concerned, he should pack his bag and relocate to Nigeria for good.  He is definitely a wanted man in Britain whether he likes it or not.  Imagine a so called "British" citizen suing British Airways on account of an "illegal belligerant" Nigerian deportee? How unpatriotic can he be by doing a disservice to both nations he is a dual citizenship of.  All he did was bring disgrace to both!

Madness I say!  Serves his arse right!

Blatant:
Are you the famous Iche Oku actor? he he he

I get your drift here. We (Nigerians) always allow ourselves to be used, even against our own brothers and sisters. It's all for filthy lucre

He is not listed as a terrorist and BA does not have the right to label him a terrorist.
Besides, there are several normal law abiding British citizens who have been involved in physical actions to stop deportations. It would be wrong to say that he is doing something no person in his right mind would do it. I think you'll discover that most people in their right minds will not be comfortable on a flight with someone shouting and being forced to stay down.

I don't want to go into specifics but even the Home Office will tell you about the several times when 'white' (you obviously respect white) normal people have physically protested against deportations on flights and at airports
Na Real Iche Oku! grin Or should I say "Osuofia in Nairaland"! grin  I am happy you get my drift about Nigerians allowing themselves to be used as scapegoats since they do not know their left from their right!

You think the British will come and tell you that Mr. Ayo Omotade is on their "terror watch" list?  British Airways do their things in a "clandestine" fashion, not like Nigerians that have loose tongues and leaking arses!

"I GO SHOW YOU" syndrome with only noise and hot air coming out of their nostrils and butt holes! Only to make noise and no action!  You expect them to come out and broadcast to the whole world that you are on a terror-watch list?  Banning you from an airline for life does not suggest anything to you in that fashion?  Please don't be naive! grin

How can anyone who is illegal be protesting being sent back to his own country?   See the one that died in Spain last year, protesting like a mad person till he lost consciousness? cheesy  Nigeria is sweet now, let them go  back and enjoy it without protesting. . . free ticket too! Look, I have advocated long ago to make a separate planes for those "shameful" deportees.  I don't want to fly with them even if they were my relations.  Next time if any of the should make any noise on a flight, I suggest they should be sedated with oxygen masks permanently attached to their nostrils for the duration of the flight in the "cargo" compartment of the plane, with a warm blanket and no food till they get to Nigeria. Infact with a cocktail of a paralytic and sedative agents till they get to Nigeria so we do not hear "Phim" from them!

Nigeria is still owing a lot of money for it's "deported" citizens world wide!  I should be suing British Airways for a different reason.  Inconveniencing me by carrying cirminals and terrorists on the same flight I am on.  Infact, I am gong to start my own petition next month in Britain.

Word of advice for you.  Next time you see a deportee hollering on an aircraft, get up from your seat and confront the pilot on a plane and see how many dirty hot slaps you will receive.  Or better still, try it with your Nigerian MOPOLS! wink


I don't respect whites or whatever you call them.  If you phock up, I tell you.  White, black, red or green!  If you are unruly and you interfere with the jobs of law enforcement agents anywhere in this world, you are a terrotistic agent.  SIMPLE!

I say try it with a common police man in Nigeria and get your butt cheeks scattered with a dane gun! You will not even be on Nairaland having this cyber dialogue! kiss

We would have been singing obituary songs for some terrorists by now and the story will not even make the Newspapers anywhere in Nigeria!

Rubbish!

He acknowledged that Nigerian passengers on the Lagos – London route for many years enjoyed 60 kilos of baggage allowance and said “don’t ask me why, it has been a very old policy which I may not be able to explain
I don't know why either. They should have their baggage allowances further reduced as punishment for not being able to maintain their own airlines, domestically or internationally to put them to shame!  Each Nigerian on any foreign airline including the so-called first class illiterate passengers should be entitled to just one nylon bag!  Period!


Blatant:
Nigerians have always had that level of baggage allowance so I don't see it as anything special being accorded the Ghanaians here.

you also seem to have a problem with the fact that Nigerian spokesman was quoted as speaking for BA rather than an oyinbo man. I take it you'll rather respect an oyinbo man speaking than having to listen to a Nigerian or African man.

Look inside your heart bro
Yes, I have a problem with that.  When some Nigerian-spokes person comes out of the woodwork to be used to do British Airways "dirty" work.  It just shows how low Nigerians will stoop for fame and a dim spot in the limelight.  All along, not a thing from British Airways. Then all of a sudden a "Nigerian spokesman" working for British Airways, probably employed like in "yesterday" will come out and start "defending" and "regretting".  In this case, I need a full-blooded white, hook-nosed, freckled skinned Brit, with rotten teeth to come on BBC World News to address the matter.  Not some spokes-person located at the Ajegunle motor-park branch of imaginary BA staff!

Does it not sound "fishy" to you? Don't you recognize when you are being used even to further humiliate you in front of the whole world?

Blatant:
Only UK links have credible newshuh and Ayo Omotade has suddenly become a terrorist?

God help Nigeria.
He is no different from one since what he did by confronting the Law Enforcement agents aboard an international airline brought about chaos on the aircraft and subsequent "abortion" and "evacuation" of the flight.  Can he try that in Nigeria with the Nigerian MOPOLS from Chad?

How can any one in his or her right mind claiming to be living in any part of the "western" world do such a foolish thing?

The funniest part of the whole thing is that he calls himself a "British" citizen.  No normal "British citizen"would display such "Nigerian unruly and nonsensical" form of interference in the guise of a "good samaritarian hunch"!  That was outright lawlessness.  If he wanted to air his grievances, there were much better ways to do that. 

As punishment, he remains banned from BA for life, just like any Al-Qaeda terrorist will be treated.  How is he different? Imagine the disgrace world--wide?

I would have changed my first and last names for this alone.  I don't think I want to be internationally recognized as the "One" a foreign airline put on their "terror" watch list. Anywhere anyother airline sees that name, of course it sends a red flag of a potential repeat performance, since disgraceful Nigerian deportees will keep hollering and bellowing in resistance aboard international flights. This should teach most people around the world a huge lesson.  Especially if your native country cannot boast of one single internationally bound airline or even maintain the "patched-up" Tokunbo ones flying "above grass level" in Nigeria!

mrjuwon:
First of all, to all who believe Obj wrote this then you are easily deceived. To draft a document of this magnitude would require the drafting in of experienced marketing and PR people who know what is at stake when making these type of replies.

Secondly, in reply to Obj's archaic statement of "As Africans, we must respect age and authority. It is also a product of birth and breeding in an African culture. I hope members of the Committee will have something to learn from this exercise. " - May I say BULLSHIT.  We need someone who is competent and experience. Let it be remembered that the Law is Reason Free of Emotion. That was a low blow by Obasanjo. Literally churning out that Nigerian bullshit of I am old enough to be your father and you say I stole. I am sorry but I do not buy that for one second.

Thirdly, I respect he has shown what his administration has done between 1999 and 2007, but now as we know[b],we need evidence.[/b] i believe it is time he showed some evidence of all this talk. A bunch of characters pieced eloquently together does not prove nothing. It is an underlying. Now we need hard evidence to show that these words are justified Sir Obj, the oldest and wisest of them all.

Fourthly, OBJ is right in every sense that although we are carrying out these investigations, we must not stop continuing work. Each day wasted day adds to Nigerians' frustration. Entrepreneurs need infrastructure to make their brilliant ideas work. In UK, when there are fraudulent investigations on a member of staff, the department does not shut down, they continue what they do while the investigation is carried out by an independent body.

Lastly, again OBJ is right in saying that correct legal proceedings should be in place to ensure that foreign nationals are not dissuaded from participating in acts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) which would benefit Nigerians. No foreign company is prepared to work or invest in a country with poor legal structure where they cannot be rest assured about the outcomes of their actions. That is the basic underlying of the law and CONTRACT. Reducing the risk of uncertainty. A project costing $200 million would not be carried out if the company knows the government is liable to stray away or likely to participate in the unnecessary act of hold up.

That is my 2 kobo. I am a Nigerian first, Yoruba and a Great One after. Lets reduce the tribal and religion divide and get on to building a better Nigeria for all of us especially the upcoming generation.
Excellent!

For the reason of the way and manner your invitation came as well, I may choose not to appear and merely object to the manner of invitation. 

Again, I have chosen not to go that way. As Africans, we must respect age and authority. It is also a product of birth and breeding in an African culture. I hope members of the Committee will have something to learn from this exercise.

Small wonder why "Ndudi Elumelu" did not sign the "summons" . OBJ put him in power. Afterall, you can't bite the fingers that fed you in Nigeria of all places.

When one attends a church, I don't think it is because of the love "of the pastor". I would have left the church a long time ago like Oprah. Not for my audience but because I don't want to offend myself. I do it for myself and my peace of mind. Not for anybody's gratification or acceptance.

Obama is an adult and should be held accountable for his words, thoughts, actions and deeds alone. Not to be held guilty by association.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is just making a mountain out of a molehill.

As usual when joblessness reigns supreme. It all comes down to racial politics between Obama and McCain. Just as was predicted at the beginning of this year.

British Airways increase buggage allowance
NEW. Watch live television from Ghana plus the latest Ghanaian movies plus OBE TV.

British Airways passengers on the Accra – London route on Economy class can now carry 46 kilos of checked-in luggage instead of 23 kilos while those in Business class can carry up to 60kilos of checked-in luggage.

[size=15pt]The doubling of the baggage allowance on the route has been considered by the Airline’s authorities to streamline baggage allowance policy on some ‘dedicated’ African routes.[/size]

The Head of Africa and Europe Affairs of British Airways, Mr. Pat Gaffey disclosed this in an interview with the Graphic in London.

He acknowledged that Nigerian passengers on the Lagos – London route for many years enjoyed 60 kilos of baggage allowance and said “don’t ask me why, it has been a very old policy which I may not be able to explain, but the good news is that our Ghanaian passengers are now going to have their baggage allowance doubled on our flights to and from Accra.”

Mr. Gaffey noted that Ghanaian passengers have exhibited loyalty to the airline and there is no reason why they should not enjoy the airline’s partnership. “With other airlines having increased baggage charges, the extent of our free baggage allowances remains very generous especially to our Ghanaian travellers”. He observed.

He said during the last 12 months alone nearly 50 thousand passengers have travelled on the Accra – London route.

The issues of 23 kilos baggage allowance for British Airways passengers on the Accra – London route has over the years been a source of worry to many a traveller on the route particularly when Nigerian passengers to London enjoy nearly 60 kilos of checked-in luggage on British Airways flight.

Investigations by the Graphic in London have revealed that when British Airways was entering onto the African market some decades ago, it placed Nigeria on the same level as the USA because it is a Federal state. A policy no one can simply explain and since then there has not been any change, while passengers from other African countries like Ghana got only 23 kilos.

He said in recognition with UK health and safety rules the 46kg must be in two pieces. “We understand that there are times when one will need to exceed this limit. Therefore, from now, a flat fee of £25 GBP will be applied to bags weighing more than 23kg (51lbs). This charge is to cover the additional handling that bags weighing over 23kg (51lbs) can attract.” He noted.

He said the airline will not accept a bag heavier than 32kg (70lbs) as checked baggage. However, he noted, “On routes where the baggage allowance is one bag, we will continue to allow passengers with reduced mobility to carry 2 bags up to a total of 23kg (51lbs).”

Mr Gaffey also noted that wheelchairs will be accepted for carriage irrespective of weight, but for wheelchairs that weigh over 32kg (70lbs) the passenger must notify British Airways at time of booking, or a minimum of 24 hours before departure.

According to him, musical instruments, TV news cameras and commercial spares are exempted from this rule but if a passenger is travelling with one of these items, and t weighs between 32kg (70lbs) and 45kg (99lbs) and cannot be broken down to smaller items; it will be treated as two pieces of checked baggage.

“Any item weighing more than 45kg (99lbs) will not be accepted as checked baggage and will need to be transported as unaccompanied baggage. You can pre-arrange this through British Airways World Cargo or contact your local freight company and if you are travelling with any of these items, please notify us at the time of booking, or at a minimum of 24 hours before departure.” He added.

Mr Gaffey hinted that the airline is introducing some modifications to improve consistency in the baggage rules and try to encourage a reduction in overall hold baggage weight, which will reduce fuel burn and emissions. And it will also continue to press the UK Department for Transport to remove the one-bag restriction for hand luggage.

This according to him, would reduce the volume of checked-in baggage and help to speed up airport processes.
I guess the British-Ghananian route is more profitable to the British-Nigerian route.  Why you are busy planning and planning "fake boycotts", British airways is rewarding their Ghananian customers by doubling their baggage allowance!

he he he he he he! grin

From the horse's mouth.  Mr Gaffey!  Not some cooked up "Nigerian spokesperson" from some Ota farms somewhere masquerading as a "British Airways" spokes person!

Please you guys should add this discriminationary item of news to your list of "boycott reasons"!  I just thought I should help you out!
