hercules07: Buck stops at the table of the minister, the call for her sack is the correct one, of course, she can also be sacked along with the NCAA guys or a new minister can sack the NCAA man. The problem with a lot of people supporting her is because she is from their tribe, the NCAA man is from my tribe and I believe he should be sacked, anybody and everybody responsible for the failures should be sacked. Do you know how many CEOs got fired because of ordinary cable ducts during the manufacture of the A380?

Nope she did not fail, she was criminally negligent and vicariously liable for the loss of lives of the dead now that call for a sack. Failure can be pardoned but failure that collide with shirking one's duty of care deserves a sack.

[quote author=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] [/quote]See kettle calling pot black. See ultra and unrepentant bigot.

manny4life: If I replied , you'll complain I bore you with my lengthy post (not that it bothers me), but in the spirit of not derailing this thread, I will skip your talk. If you want to challenge and debate this any further, please open another thread, I'll be more than GLADDDDDDDDDDDD to meet yo on there... This time, I will challenge you with FACTS and FIGURES, not "mere half baked stats".

Muchos Gracias

I love facts and figures it actually warms my cockles. Be on the look out. I appreciate you for tackling issues and not personality.

Obrigando.

ilebaami: You compared NOI, GEJ to Fashola. Any IDIOT can double the tax revenue of a State or Local Government or indeed any motor park. Is that what you compare to increasing capital expenditure of a multiparty country by 10%?

This one has descended into the absurd, is lagos also not a multi party state, why couldn't Firs also replicate increment in taxes also. If Lagos only a state can grow its economy to be bigger than that of Kenya a country and your NOI cannot live up to expectation despite her intimidating resume, then it is a shame on your NOI.

Ngwakwe: Stop this misinformation and drop your tribal lens.

If so, why didn't Mrs Clinton and Susan Rice resign after all their failures, lies and complicity in the death of Ambassador Stevens plus three others

Stella Odua is responsible for what she said and not for your bigoted and political interpretation of what she meant.

Compare likes with likes, after the crash instead of her to zip it, she did not, she had to scare people with her inevitability of airplanes mishaps. Failure is not the same thing with negligence.

manny4life: Keep it short? Well I really can't help when lies are perpetrated.

You alluded to Fashola forgetting that less contraints mitigate against the state compared to the federal level, I wasn't expecting you to reason with me.

She says we're broke because we're broke, how else will she raise the funds? Isn't it the legislative that gives fed authority to generate revenue? I gave an example of customs not remitting money, due to the limitation of power, what did NASS do? Nothing, and you call her a misfit.

Yeah isn't it funny you look to NBS which reported unemployment at 50% but on same note, called their statistics FAKE when they tell you the economy is doing well. Isn't it NBS that stated that Nigerian Middle Class has increased by 28%.. Yeah, I know.. It's all theories.

You ascribe all labor issues to her.. very convenient, but the leaders who draft labor laws aren't working, yet you ascribe ALL labor issues to her. Please furnish whatever you have, and I'll furnish mine as well.

She has delivered very well, ask your NASS members to do their fvcking job. You want the lady to generate revenues for the nation, yet you restrict her executive authority to do so, NASS hasn't implemented PIB bill for which the nation gets 55% of her revenues.. Keep blaming her

Lol... She was skipping right to left? Where? What interview? Please post it. NOI has ALWAYS given her critics a dosage of their own hate, so please explain or yet post a video of her skipping right to left.

Again, if Nigeria doesn't want to go broke, ask your NASS members to pass necessary bills and laws that affects the citizens. NOI can only operate within the confines of her power. She has no oversight authority on agencies like NPA, Customs, NNPC, etc that remit funds into the govt account. If you want to see her in action, ask NASS to pass a bil giving the Finance Minister authority over their books and you will see how active she is.

You have been the one using statistic as a palette to paint all sort of fibs be informed. Fashola could pull all that stunt at the state level in a country where we do not practice true federalism. if Fashola could raise the IGR from 4m Usd to 196m usd and the central where she is the captain as her boss has delegated all to her save for ceremonial concerns, and despite all the backing and power granted it by the constitution yet has been under performing under her watch. It is on record that the federal government generated 1.05 trillion in July 2013 but has only been able to pay part of the allocation of july to the states and currently owe the states august, september et al allocation, now you tell me the federal has constraints. I have said for the upteenth time an indolent president dead scared of number threw all the economy of nigeria on the lap of NOI with the attendant power yet we spend more than we earn. At the micro economy level an house hold that spend more than it earn will be bankrupt, nigeria earn 23. Billion Usd and spend 33 billion usd, a world bank economist that cannot even balance this deserve credit for a misfit. This is according to CIA world factbook. Now you tell me she has constraints tell those the marine. She wield the power never like before in the financial milieu of nigeria for what, for sub par performances, but she is always swift to assert and correct insult.you thought it was coincidence that her name was included in the list of one hundred most influential person in the world, it is because the often inebriated JOnathan handed nigeria to her.


Now you assert the national assembly has been shirking its responsibility. I hope you know it is common knowledge they make law not execute it. You call a minister that cannot project budget for one fiscal yeaar without going for supplement competent, that she has to call for supplementary budget just for one fiscal year shows her stuff, common dude, you got to be kidding me. Are you saying it is the national ass that will approve the tranche of money for implementation of the budgetary allocation, which was less than 50 % in performance for 2012.

Granted the NASS hiked the price for crude per barrel for more liquid for the budget, were they not justified when she has to come back for supplementary budget, oh that was the NASS' fault also, yet implementation her boss ' major constitutional responsibility has been abyssmal.

When I pontificated I will ascribe all labour issues to her, I meant the total grounding of all sectors of the economy, where labourers' strikes have become a fad and all can be traced to the mismanagement of the country macro-economy. A so called world bank egg head that cannot balance the revenue and expenditure of his economy in that regard is a misfit, all you kept harping on is saving, saving, I mean who does that, when you can be increasing, ask Greece what saving and saving has landed it, its ripple effect grounded the whole of europe economy save for Germany and UK. Tell her to devise ingenious way of making more money for the government and not shrinking it. You made allusion to custom et al, despite unemployment glut which has been arguably pegged at 80% yet she kept taking people's job without creating any thing, I call her an economic shrink, it is all noise and no music, she hefty but empty

Get your basic right, no body restrict the executive, it is the most powerful and least accountable in nigeria, and they have not been doing a good job, they are actually busy doing nothing. NASS makes law and it ends there.

Who does the accountant general answer to, who does the NPA and NNPC answer to, the NASS, you have mucked it all up, the Account and auditor general looks at the books of all government agencies and report to her ministry and she disburses fund to them, how can you say they do not answer to her, all you have screwed herein above are intellectually dishonest. Especially shifting all her misdemeanor on the legislators.

You talk of PIB, is it not the stake holders particularly the compromised executive which your NOI is the class captain that has been stalling the process by receiving kick backs from foreign interests.

That she was skipping from side to side trying to sell us the subsidy removal poison was not trumped up, it was real and we all knew it was her brain child passed to her by a bad dream from her former master, after all those were part of the conditions for debt reprieve from the Paris club and world bank. Your NOI shot in the temple our dear country a lethal, mortal and a nuke laden incompetence.

manny4life: Lol... Fashola is the "governor" of Lagos state, he is the chief executive officer and the no 1 man of the state, operating on the state level with jurisdiction of state confined powers, NOI is a finance minister operating under her boss who's the head of the executive authority and who's powers are checked by the legislative for the most part. Now that we have identified that these two people are different, moving on.

Fashola gots away with so many things that GEJ can't,

First, Nigeria is a nation dependent on oil revenue, this revenue is partly sustaining Nigeria. This was the trend before NOI came on-board and unfortunately still is the trend. Previously 77% of Oil revenue financed the budget, after she came in, that number is drastically reduced to 54/55%, while the non-oil receipts has increased by almost double digits, and the rest is debt. Drastically increasing non-oil receipts and reducing oil dependence is an achievement. So yes, like Lagos, Nigeria increased her revenues, but we aren't meeting up the quota of the 55% for the most part. With oil prices going down because our major buyer has reduced demand, and with IOC's leaving, there's cause for alarm.

Second, like I stated before, oil finances more than half of our budget, unlike Lagos that depends on 16million citizens to pay taxes, NOI has taken other measures to seek revenues. This is why she served NPA and Customs the decision to close their accounts because they failed to remit their monies which I think they did. To falsely allude that NOI hasn't increased revenue is just ridiculous. Like I stated, hold your reps accountable to draft laws or yet pass the PIB, this will enhance the oil industry and increase our revenues. When oil revenues are increased, we have the money to improve other sectors thereby reducing our dependence on oil. Oh don't forget, Lagos is the LARGEST debtor at the moment even with N10billion IGR.

Third, Nigerian economy has been doing well for the most part, Nigeria is growing and developing. Our Aviation sector is ranked 2nd hottest market, Agriculture has improved, Rail sector is coming back to life, Banking is on the rise, Real Estate is regarded as the next top destination in Africa, and the list is endless. However, with the shortage of revenues (mostly part of Oil receipts), she hasn't been blabbing doom. You see it as doom, she's been talking about NASS acting on bills that will save the oil industry of which Nigeria largely depends on because Nigeria isn't self sufficient yet. Get the difference.

Fourth, the issue of budget implementation lies with the executive authority, however, budgets can be implemented successfully in tandem with legislative body. For instance, the Railway Act of Nigeria is currently hindering some implementations of the budgetary part of 2013, same applied to the Power Reform Act. When NASS acted, the PRA is on course to finally transfer some of its power to the private companies. Just like the PIB holding the Oil Industry of which Nigeria depends on... Yet you will blame her for not meeting the nations quota...

Her recommendation to NASS unfortunately is not what's implemented because NASS did not listen on saving $4/barrel on oil and not hiking the budget by that enormous amount, and looking for debt to pay with it, you'll not be getting unnecessarily angry here. As to the savings, at least we have the other saving that has increased as well.

Fifth, Yes I call increment of 22% to 33% of capital expense an achievement and reduction of 76% to 54% an achievement as well considering where the nation was before. Looking at '14 and 15 budget forecast, the number go higher and lower respectively, i.e., if NASS is able to deal with the oil industry crisis. NASS is playing with the future of the country by continuously stalling important bills, yet you blame her because she's coordinating minister. Did NASS come up with ways to deal with Oil Bunkering and theft? When they backfired on NASS about oil revenues dwindling due to inefficient and expired operating laws/policies, what have they done? The woman is hell bent on seeking other ways to gain revenues, for instance Customs receipts, has NASS drafted automatic laws binding Customs to remit income? Yet you blame her forgetting that she lacks the authority and those who have the powers to reform are playing gamble.

Sixth, 50% unemployment rate? Now you make me laugh because if we're talking about same stats that put Nigeria as one of the countries with rising middle income earners, then I don't know what to say to the FALSE lies. Manufacturing Association of Nigeria recently released a report stating that manufacturing has gone up, Agriculture department stated that exports has increased, in fact CBN reported Nigeria saved more than half of FOREX on that amount, so we're having all these changes, YET unemployment is still rising... lol

Seventh, is it amazing how you make a quick turnaround, so the ministers did not have enough information to make decision of yes/no, let me guess, she coerced them to saying YES to the removal. You seriously need to have a rethink. She also raised their hand to YES votes as well.

Finally, she's the coordinating minister, YES, but she has limited powers...PERIOD.

Well well, truth be told you bore me with long post, please keep it short. I alluded to fashola, cos that is just a state for crying out loud and we can see result but for the whole nation and the madam that keep the purse telling us we are broke shows us she is.a misfit.
The nigerian economy is doing well on papers all the fake statistic that cannot sustain reality will bust very soon like the great deceleration with the BRICS. I am not fooled by drab statistics. As for over 50 % unemployment rate is verifiable with NBS and the global unemployment glut makes me to be stating the obvious. I ascribe all the labour issues to her. I might furnish you with all the particulars when I am less busy.

I hate excuses shape in shape out, if she can't deliver I kick her out, don't want a minister trainee, she is paid a lot of money for her job and she has not been doing the job well.

I still remember vividly when she was skipping from right to left to explain how how voodoo economics will benefit us, she makes it clear it is her brain child. When the boom bust into dust you holding brief for her will say it was GEJ ' s call. I hear it is the legislators fault.

manny4life: Lol...

solomon111: Nonsense.
Because GEJ fires a minister for whatever reason dosen't mean he won't replace them with more capable ones.
*where do all these morøns come from sef?*

He fired like nine ministers some few weeks ago, what takes him this long to find replacement, should nt the replacement be on ground before firing them. You don't get do you? You just get elated when you type the word slowpoke cos it makes you feel cool I ve noticed it is reccuring decimal with dolt with single digit IQ on this thread. Do you guys just type word with out been sure of what intended to say.I mean why suffer yourself to answer a purported slowpoke, like I hit a bull's eye with NOI 's apparent inadequacies. I operate at the olympus and I would not genuflect to spit murder on an inconsequential pipsqueak like you and so bug off.

solomon111: you're a morøn.
I am sure you think aganga works for you and not GEJ.
Tribal knobhead.

Another bumbling dim witted ogre on the troll.

dustydee: In conclusion, the assertion that I can use the savings to expand my business and hire more staff is erroneus. Thanks for the explanation.

The fund will bring returns and your returns will continue to bring in more returns, then you can decide whether you want to expand your biz or not.

manny4life: The president and NOI have their flaws but to assert the president as indolent and make false claims that NOI is responsible for the economy, it shows that you lack the knowledge to speak on the economy. I'm not here to define what "smart" is, but what I know is, every leader hires competent administrators: this managers bring the ideas, the will, the service and desire to change positively or negatively.

On that note, I'm waiting to see how NOI shot the economy on the head. You don't make false claims without backing it up with facts.

Check my post above. Now you said every leader hires competent administrator, good, what do you make of GEJ incessant hiring and firing his ministers call it cabinet reshuffling. One thing become irresistible Jonathan is not smart to have either hire dull ministers or to have thrown away smart ministers. You have vindicated my point.

manny4life: Perhaps I should refresh your memory

The fuel subsidy saga was and I repeat was agreed by all at the finance meeting including ALL governors of the 36 states of the federation. So if its fresh on your mind, hold your governor accountable for voting on it. As for the reconciliation of inaccurate numbers, I personally thought that was ridiculous, however, given that we lack advanced payment and tracking systems in place, these had no direct effect on the economy.

Performance budget? She's a finance minister and not responsible for other ministers activity, perhaps Nigeria and Nigerians do not know what thœ
eir responsibilities are. Even if we're to ascribe to not meeting up the performance budget, it is without doubt that the Nigerian economy has been doing well for the most part.

Budget deficit. This shows you lack the knowledge of what is being talked about. Your NASS approve debt to finance the budget and then you gonna call the woman because there was deficit? Where was NASS and you when she was constantly stating that we need to save? Where where you when she increased Capital expense from 22% to 33%? Where were you when she increased our savings by more that 40%? Where were you when debt financing reduced, thanks to NASS, in 2013 budget, they increased it by $6billion financed through debt again.

Please speak on things you know

Fashola with a pedestrian text book “EConomic for dummies“ augmented Lagos IGR from less that 10 billion naira monthly to 20 billion naira, the dude is not even a professional, what has madam NOI done. Increased saving by 40% your source pls? Only to be stolen by her principal Mr. Shoeless clueless, How has the economy of Nigeria been rejuvenated to make more money call it revenue? She has been blabbing doom of how broke the country is, only adept at diagnosing problem with next to nothing on how to resolve even giving the opportunity to consult her IMF dibias. Her recommendation to the NASS will be what will be eventually approved but that is not even what is in issue - I am talking of implementation of the budgets or is it the NASS that implement budgets. Increasing capital budget from 22% to 33% assuming that is true and you call that an accomplishment. What of the over 50 % unemployment rate, I am also ignorant of that.she has been around for a while, what spetacular achievement has that made on our economy, you tell me. The 36 governors agreed to her hogwash because of what they stand to gain stop shifting the blame on them, the macroeconomy of nigeria is her oga's turf which he has delegated to her, cos joe is dead scared of numbers, save for when they want to steal it. she is the coordinating minister and her recommendation carried the day. Who approves what goes to the other ministry, me nope, she even refused to send them quid at the appropriate. I have said it for the upteenth time don't use superlative appellation for lilliputian accomplishment. She is a total misfit, she could have done well at the World bank but this time she is totally clueless as her boss. I am that ignorant what other play on word do you want to throw at me. Wiseacre.

taharqa: SHUT ya sillly MOUTH, tha.. And tell me how many persons in yr Extended family hv a PhD? That was d questn. We can then take it from tha..

I am not obligated to tell you nada, you can publish yours it is your funeral. Anger has diseased your thought pattern, I am typing not speaking how can I shut my mouth. Must every body have a PHD olodo, what of an LLD, have you heard of that before. I would have love our chat to be private all bottled up venom could have been your lot I swear.

Thanks for the explanation but my question is if I save 125k (50% of 250k) how does that validate the statement above i.e the 125K will enable me hire more staff and expand my operations?

Why I arrived at 100'k as the 50% of 250k is because I had factored in professional fees ordinarily you would file with like 30k and stamp duty in that range also for 1m share capital. You can't save more than that if a professional is registering it for you forget the 125k. Now CAC is looking at a larger pix here, if 1000 people save that much such fund can be channeled else where pro tem to yield fund to further grow your business and not that it will enable you to sustain your staff. Nah!

manny4life: Your statement would have been perfect had you not brought in NOI into the picture, please give me instances how NOI shot the economy in the head? She's the finance minister and not the president, so again, how has she shot Nigeria on the head?

The fuel subsidy saga is still fresh in our memory , what of the abbyssmal performance of budgets couple with the deficit budgets we have been running for the last two years. the list is ad nauseum.

taharqa: You are a PATHETIC DEGENERATE, my frnd. A real wisp.... By d way, how many PhDs do you hv in yr Extended family (or, entire village for that matter)??

I am adroit at using very mean words but will not, not for you but for the impression I will make on others. I will drown you with my family accomplishment, so we don't suffer fools. How can your friend be a wisp, a pathetic degenerate, if you see your friends like that I wonder how you will see your enemy. Most of your guys from the SE and SS are steeped blind in ad hominem ways of asserting your positions. it is a shame yet you ascribe superlative appellation to lilliputian achievement, we are raised with global standard. Must every body come from a village, what sort of peep are thronging Nairaland with such clannish worldview. Just that you know I am not your friend and the very idea of it makes my skin crawl and it is even a great disservice to the word friend. Now focus and I mean on the issue.

Arosa: It takes a smart mind to know a good idea and approve it.

a mentally indolent person can never be smart except off course you mean nigerian crooked smart, little wonder he abandoned the whole of nigeria economy to NOI, when we eventually mirror the inherent flaws in the policy he will quickly scream it is Aganga 's idea. Just between me and you, Gej approves any thing sold to him with nasal accent, now that is not the hallmark of a smart person.

guonno: U, ur father, ur mother, and ur entire house hold and all nigerian should for ever thank God that NOI was born into nigeria. A lot of countries wants her but yet she came to serve ur rotten father land that ur past hausa and yoruba fathers and mothers could not save from collapse. Ndiala.

Abyssus abyssum invocat. Go figure! Crude man. Ndiala (crazy people) you see your uncommon idiocy is not lost on me, but will not go the same dirty route with you it will be giving you way much too credit. Just stop publishing your state of mind for the world it reveals your breeding.

Slickest: Don't be gullible my friend, why wasn't dat done a year after he was president, he's giving us a flimsy reason to vote in 2015....all na 2015 package...no hating brother, am just being diplomatic

You give GEJ too much credit he is not that bright, it is purely the cerebral Aganga' s idea approved by Gej.

dustydee: How? Can someone please explain how? How much is the cost of registring a company and how many times does one register a company? How will the 50% savings be used to sustain employees?

Lawyers on an average register a private limited liability comp with one million share capital at the rate of 80k but will actually spend almost half of the money on stamp duty and filing, plus they also will charge for buying forms cac2, 3, 7 etc plus preparation of the memat. So the business registration for private ltd comp, could be reduced to 40k on the average and cac register like 2000 businesses in that category every three months now do the maths, an incorporated trustee is registered with like an average of 250k does not require equity though, public liabilty is registered with like 250k on the average take away half of that for prospective business which means like 100k could be saved multiply that with almost 1000 Cac register yearly, etc

[quote author=Akin-David]@awodman
Which company can fit in to Part A kindly explain?[/quote]Private and public Limited liability, Limited by guarantee and unlimited liability comp are the ones in part A.

STELLA. SELLS PETROL AND SHE CALLED JONATHAN A DRUNK by Icke C. Ibe

Have you ever imagined calling your employer a drunk? Would you imagine what will happen to you if you did and your employer found out. Well, we are about to find out. Stella is a woman earlier known as a petrol seller. She later became a minister of aviation in a nation where qualification for serious political appointment is not based on merit rather on who you know and how much 'power' you have.

Stella works for Jonathan and she recently called him a drunk and a beer parlour analyst. Stella has recently been awarding contracts for rebuilding airports around the country and as usual raking in much more than she did when she was selling petrol. I think she shares the proceeds and so her benefactors can't fire her. Last year there was a major air crash involving Dana airline. It killed 163 Nigerians including my wife and my daughter. Most Nigerians wept and complained about the corruption of the system. Jonathan also complained and promised to fix air safety problems in Nigeria.

He was to do it through Stella. Stella just went on airport contract bazaars and forgot about safety. This year there have been more air mishaps and citizens are screaming including Jonathan. Stella recently emerged from a meeting with her boss Jonathan and said that all those complaining about the last Agagu crash are beer palour analysts who are drunk. I complained. Nigerians complained. Jonathan complained. But Stella called all of us drunk.

Stella also said air accidents are an act of God and inevitable. If they are, then why did Stella suspend the license of Dana and Associated airline. Stella said these airlines are not airworthy but she also said a few months ago that she has conducted a rigorous technical and financial audit of Dana and found it airworthy.

She also gave them an award as the best airline in Nigeria. What are we talking about here? Why hasn't Stella been fired? Either Stella's power is so great and maybe comes from her front and back or Jonathan her boss and all of us are drunk and Stella is not. What kind of power is this and what manner of Luck do we have? Good or bad, Nigerians must rise up and say no to the likes of Stella.

Fani-Kayode, Stella Oduah in ‘war of words’ over aviation management

on October 09, 2013 at 1:11 am in News

By SONI DANIEL, REGIONAL EDITOR, NORTH & OKEY NDIRIBE

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday, took up the incumbent, Stella Oduah, describing her as being unnecessarily petty in the handling of issues relating to the industry.

Fani-Kayode, who was responding to remarks made by Oduah against him, said that the incumbent Aviation minister and not him was the one who should bury her head in shame over the shambolic handling of the industry since her appointment.

Oduah had yesterday in Abuja dismissed Mr. Fani-Kayode over his ignorance, adding that his comments on the aviation sector conveyed the impression that he was under an unnatural influence.



Stella, Falana

She spoke in response to a reporter’s question during the opening ceremony of the African Regional Conference of Civil Aviation Navigation Organisation, CANSO, in Abuja.

She further stated that working with CANSO over the years had been fulfilling and enriching.

Said she: “The nation has had its fair share of challenges in the aviation sector but has adopted an attitude of refusing to relent in moving forward as a key strategy for improvement in the sector.”

According to her: “Aviation which is one of the drivers of the economy has ensured that we achieve double digit economic growth.”

However, Fani- Kayode said that the remarks by the minister against him were uncalled for, malicious and petty.

“She reportedly said that I should bow my head in shame, suggested that I was “speaking out of context’’ in my essay where I called for her resignation and that I spoke under some “influence of something or other.”

His words: “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.

“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.

“This is a woman who only yesterday told 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 jewellery and the jewellery of others more than she does about protecting Nigerian air travellers.

“If anyone should bury her head in shame it is her and not me. After just under 200 of our fellow citizens have been killed under her watch instead of abusing her critics and those of us that have expressed our concern and offered our advise she should be seeking repentance from God and tendering her resignation.

“She should be attempting to encourage the Nigerian people and assuage their fears rather than indulging in petty and cheap sideshots and a futile press war.

“Instead of comforting the families of those that were lost she is opening her mouth and abusing me. What a shame. Under her tenure we have beautiful terminals but deadly and blood-soaked skies. Our skies have become a death trap because she really doesn’t care.

“My advice to her is to shut up, get serious and focus on doing her job rather than attempting to smear me with her filthy lies and malicious innuendos.

“I raised some serious issues in that essay that was clearly above her education level and I avoided personal insults.

“That is what civilised people do. She should learn from that and address the issues that were raised rather than spend her time trying to kill the messenger. When someone says that God is the author of fatal crashes you know that it is not the same God that we worship as that person.

“It is the devil that causes accidents and kills people and not God. You can say that a fatal accident is an act of God only if the devil is your god.

“When I speak and write I am under the influence of one thing and one thing alone- the Spirit of the Living God who sees through her and who knows her for what she is.

“She is the one that is under the influence of one thing or the other and not me. She is the one whose hands are filled with blood. She is the one that must bury her head in shame and no-one else. I will pray for her because she needs it and I will pray for Nigeria too. May God deliver us from these people,” Fani-Kayode added.

Earlier, the Aviation Minister, Mrs Stella Oduah had stated that the transformation agenda of the present administration was anchored on a road map for the aviation industry.

Said she: “The thrust of this road map is safety, safety and security.”

She further said that an important aspect of the strategy for developing the nation’s aviation sector is infrastructural development.”

According to her, the Federal Government through the Nigeria Air Space Management Agency, NAMA, had embarked on the re-organisation of the sector.

She cited the execution of the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria, TRACON, project under NAMA as one of the achievements of the present administration.

“The completion of the project has resulted in other benefits like radio coverage of the nation’s airspace. NAMA has put all these in place with the assistance of the Federal Government.”

She, however, said that her ministry would continue to partner with the nation’s political leadership to achieve its goals.

In his own speech at the occasion, the Managing Director of NAMA, Nnamdi Udo showered praises on the Federal Government for transforming the nation’s air traffic navigation services, adding that given the technology Nigeria had put in place, the nation had keyed into the role of making aviation in the Africa region a seamless process.

In his own remarks on the occasion, CANSO Director-General Mr Jeff Poole outlined the organisation’s vision to improve aviation safety and achieve seamless airspace across Africa.



Bola Ahmed Tinubu might be dead scared of losing his ill gotten fortunes, the new yoruba land will not allow any form of stealing not to talk of unabashed shameless stealing such as that of BAT. The SNC must be now or never, elections are secondary to it.

Every word that comes out of madam minister's mouth comes out the wrong way. She should put a lid on her buccal cavity till this mess which I doubt blows away.

They should also address multiple taxation on businesses in NIgeria particularly Lagos State, it is really hurting a lot of business concerns. Well that was a nice strategic move by aganga, to jump start the almost comatose economy of Nigeria that NOI has shot in the head with her lethal and mortal incompetence.

Dospix: This man is really sick and needs urgent help asap...I just hope the people around him would realize this reality and take him to a mental asylum before he dents the high reputation of his family with poo.

What will you call a vampire minister, well? She has laid a conduit pipe in the air to ferry human blood to her blood bank, after all she said plane crash[es] is a must in our airspace. Femi has never been saner with t his comment.

passion007: To start with, what you have in quotes up there is Orisun editor's understanding of what the Minister said. She said accidents are an act of God (a phrase that refers to the occurrence of accidents despite preparedness) or a force majeure as Sterling pointed out, not that an accident is God's will (which is different and sounds crazy).

@Sterling:
I can't argue with that.
Her logic is skewed, no doubt.
The sequence makes it appear so.
It sounds safer that FG attempts to avoid accidents at all costs, yet recognizes their influence may not be completely effective aka that acts of God could topple their plans

I had to address Tolexander who is keen on making her appear insensitive.

Finally, we don't even have any evidence this accident was due to human error, so let's wait for the results of the inquiry before doling out blame.
