how we saved kechi OKWUCHI-THE TRUE STORY

To God be the glory, just like a movie, Ive been following the wonderful transformation of beloved kechi Okwuchi, a lady who amongst hundreds of victims survived the ill-fated Sosoliso plane crah to become a brand and testimony of Gods awesomeness.

It all started on 10th December, 2005. I was a serving corps member and staff of ALML, an indigeneios firm that operated the now defunct VIRGIN NIGERIA AIRWAYS. I was stationed near the terminal of Portharcourt Interational Airport that fateful day, my duty was to record the time of arrival of the Virgin Nigeria aircraft arriving from Lagos or so. It saw a rainy evening around 4-5 pm. The ETA (estimated time of arrival) of Sosoliso flight from ABV (Abuja) had been announced over the sound system at the airport, after which that of Virgin flight would arrive.
Suddenly, we heard an earthquake that shock the foundation of the airport. we were all terrified it may be the rapture. we were later told it was an helicopter that crashed. But shortly, we noticed the Sosoliso aircraft had refused to arrive as scheduled. I could see fire from the other end of the tarmac.

As an enthusiastic youngman, I pulled my uniform, a blue shirt and black trousers, I removed my shoes and socks and made way to the far end of the tarmac to see things for myself, I then joined one Mr Johnson, a FAAN staff who was with the FAAN driver in their pick-up van. we raced near the scene.
I turned pale immediately at the sight before me. It was like war in Rwanda, the aircraft had been torn into twain, body parts littered the places, bags and baggages littered the entire tarmac. we could see fellow Rescuers fighting over loots. They were picking cashes belonging to the poor victims.

A voice in me warned, if you pick anything from here, you'd be poor forever. we withdrew and went in search of any survivors. we were able to pick some who were dying in excruciating pains, some were picked from a near by drainage, they must have been knocked in by the crash impact. we picked a total of about seven (7) victims, and raced to the nearby clinic at the airport. we were told there were no special facilities to resuscitate them. we were advised to rush them to BMH (hospital near Government House).

I was at the rear of the pick-up van with the victims while Mr Johnson and the driver were at the front, as we speed to BMH. A hand grabbed my legs yelling for help, she said, I dont want to die. All the victims were crying in unbearable pains. Their eyes swollen of blood and debris, their body smelt blood and boiled fats. I couldnt withstand it. I was crying and praying as we moved past Waterlines.
On arrival at BMH, the medical team on duty were very helpful. They evacuated the victims but confirmed three dead. The four (4) initial survivors were rushed to a ward and given some treatments.

There I was able to put my ears close to one of the victims, a young lady. I asked of her name and she mentioned kechi or Nkechi as I remember. I was able to extract the phone number of her close contacts. I dialed the number and a panicky female voice picked the call, it was her mother, one Mrs Ijeoma or Chioma.

She kept asking if her daughter was alive, I assured her she was. I moved to the other victim too a female in her twenties I guess, I managed to get her contacts too, I dialed the number, it was a male that picked, his name would make him from the West (Yoruba). I was later told the lady was the Personal Assistant to Pastor Bimbo.

Shortly afterwards, Mr Johnson, the driver and I were asked to deposit the corpses at the mortuary at BMH. After depositing the corpse, we were Immediately arrested, I was dipping water from my pants when we were detained and interrogated on the incident. However, orders from the then Governor, Sir Peter Odili, ensured we were released as he instructed all hospitals, public and private to receive victims of the ill-fated Sosoliso Air Crash.

I kept communications with Kechis mum and on the next day, 11th December, 2005 myself and a couple of my colleagues and bosses at ALML (portharcourt) paid her a visit at Shell IA where she was recuperating but in an unconscious state. we offered prayers and kept hopes.

we have since lost contacts, but Im always happy the role we played to see hope in God for kechi.
Mr Johnson I believe still works with FAAN, and I Mr Momoh Gabriel Oluwaseyi 08032514040 is happily married with 5 kids and live at Port Harcourt.
Everybody want to be recognised as a HERO in their fight to save the victims of sossoliso plane crash. Pls I am still pained. I would have been in the past by now if I had flown with my school at the age of 12(2005 I was just 12 in ss1).My dad immediately flew me to the U.S where I completed my high school. I later proceeded to Columbia University, New York to study pure and applied mathematics.I only visit Nigeria once in a year to greet my loving grandma. I hate Nigeria with so much passion. Loyola Jesuit college lost a lot of students as many parents withdrew their children from the school. May there souls rest in perfect peace. Caleb, I wish you were here now.

'Blood Is Thicker Than Water! Please My Wife And Children Are They The Water Or Zobo?' - Peter Okoye Asks Fans Asking Him To Settle With His Brothers

Peter Okoye has asked his fans to get used to the fact that he and his brothers, Paul Okoye and Jude Okoye, are no longer in a good relationship and that the music group, PSquare, is no longer in existence, IgbereTV reports.

The feud between the brothers came to the front-burner on their birthday, November 18, when Peter's wife, Lola, took to her Instagram page to appeal to Peter and Paul to let their issues slide and make peace with themselves.

Paul Okoye didn't take her post lightly as he went on his Instastories to attack her, accusing her of not making any effort to reconcile them but instead taking to social media whenever it is their birthday, to make an appeal for them to settle their differences.

In a post shared on his Instagram page this morning, Peter addressed the concerns of his fans who have made several appeals for him to settle with his brothers and for the music group, Psquare to come back together. He opined that they should get used to the breakup as nothing lasts forever.

Regarding those who always mention that ''blood is thicker than water', the singer wondered if his wife and children have ''water and zobo'' in their system.

His post reads:

R.I.p to Sandra. I saw it coming. We used to sit next to each other then. I loved her. Though I was too timid to express my feelings for her. I was just 12. My flesh would have been roasted too. I could remembered vividly I told my mum that I was not going to travel with them. She pressured me, but I still resisted. I saw it coming, but could not explain how I felt let alone to convince my school. I was at the airport when they took off. I bade them good bye.The accident came as a bad dream. Today marks 15 years exactly since I last saw you Sandra, Effiong, Tade, Usman and my very best friend Caleb. We had dreams, but you could not reach your dreams. Caleb your mother still cries, she still wished you had not traveled just like me. But I promise to take care of her. To you Sandra, I promise to always love you. If only your remains were recovered, am sure daddy would have given you a befitting burial. TEARS IN MY EYES.

If there is nothing you think you have to be Grateful! Be Grateful for the Breath of GOD in you.

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
hmmm. You have quoted well.

There is a THIN LINE between DEPRESSION and ENCOURAGEMENT. We would need to pick ourselves up when negative thoughts brings us down. When there is no one to encourage but instead cast blames. When there is no one to help. Rest on JUBA.

Are you the only ENDSARS activist in Nigeria.


I was really disappointed when she tagged Ken Saro Wiwa an activist.

Ken Saro Wiwa was never an activist, he fought for his pocket and when those sponsoring feels that he has collected enough, they executed him and close his chapter many years ago.

Infact he died disgracefully regretting his actions.


If Ken Saro Wiwa was an activist then buhari is also an activist afterall he protested against Jonathan concerning insecurity, fuel subsidy in 2014.

your perspective might come from the angle of JEALOUSY. If your fiancée proposes to you in the public would that make her less of a woman? We really need to grow up in the way we judge things.

I believe in you bro, and together we shall celebrate soon.

In occasions as these, Its good to mourn with the bereaved,spray money, rejoice , merry and all that.

Its most Important for people not to lose focus of the fact that one day we will also depart and go to give stewardship of our time here on Earth before GOD ALMIGHTY..
Its important for all to know that without JESUS, we are doomed for eternity.

Eternity is Real! We all Have Just two places to choose from. Its either Heaven or Hell.
The Moment we Miss Heaven, we cannot Miss Hell.

Prepare for Eternity!!
uprightness and righteousness seem to me to be brothers. Anyways, well said. But that part that broke my heart is this part 'the moment we miss heaven, we cannot miss hell. I wish humanity knows this. I wish pastors emphasize on this.

. Am not talking ideal situations. The system is rigged who does not know that. I have been alive since I was born. I told you the people on the other side don't share your view point. They think you are here to steal their power. They too have paid people that will disagree with you to the death. You don't want constitutional proces. Then go rogue. Go violent see were it leads.

Am sure the day they were protesting you were also calling your love ones not to go out that they are fighting. Who you kidding?

There is no way this will not lead to blood..we even lucky their not many death. No matter how bad things are they can get worst. My message is leave peacefully..manage the situation and learn your lesson. It may have been rough but that's the only way we can learn and take elections more seriouse. Because when we get it wrong we are the ones to pay. Not them.


This one we are all doing is medicine after death.

Bear the pain..next election come out in Mass and use the same energy to shake them.so you get who you want.

CNN like calamities. Bad news is good for them. They will just make money off your situations.
