President Jonathan escapes plane crash

President Goodluck Jonathan and top government functionaries on Saturday escaped an air mishap at Minna Airport, Niger State, when the N9billion Presidential Jet developed technical fault, while they were aboard.

The presidential jet, Nigerian Air Force 001, had earlier conveyed Jonathan to Minna for PDP North-Central rally which held in the state. But when at the end of the rally, the President returned to the airport in company of top government officials, PDP state governors and party chiefs for a trip to Sokoto, from where he was scheduled to return to Abuja, they didn't know that something strange was waiting for them..Several minutes after Jonathan had bade farewell to those who accompanied him to the airport, and the door of the aircraft was shut, the aircraft failed to move.



After many attempts, crew members and engineers, for the first time, had to disembarked from the aircraft and made spirited efforts to fix the fault as armed security men took strategic positions around the place.

While this was going on, Vice-President Namadi Sambo; Senate President,, David Mark; PDP governors and National Assembly and Federal Executive Council members were watching in disbelieve.

They couldn't understand why a Presidential Jet that they voted billions of Naira for its maintenance would be in such a bad shape that it couldn't fly any more. Is it that the Ogas are pocketing the money for servicing?

When it became obvious that Nigeria's Number One Presidential plane has been grounded, the commander of the Presidential Air Fleet, Air Vice Marshal Uko Ebong, ordered that a smaller presidential jet, which took the Vice-President to the state be brought to fly Jonathan.

President Jonathan disembarked from the faulty jet around 3.30pm and quickly moved to the smaller aircraft.

All the top government officials and PDP governors who had rushed into the first plane with Jonathan all come down with long faces, with some of them sweating heavily. It was indeed a big embarrassment as many started making alternative travel arrangements.

When asked what happened to the plane, a FAAN official simply said: “The return engine refused to pick.”

Aisha Falode Buries her Only Son, Toba, Killed in Dubai. Read her Touching Tribute to Him



Oloruntoba Oluwadamilola, the 19-year old son of ace broadcaster, Aisha Falode, who died on Saturday, 15 February 2014, was buried amidst tears two days ago, Monday, March 3 in Lagos.

The funeral service held at Trinity House, Victoria Island, while the internment took place at Ikoyi Vaults and Gardens in Lagos.

You recall the press had initially said Toba died in a car accident only for family sources to later reveal that Toba had actually been pushed off a 17 storey building by an Arab guy.

For his burial, to celebrate the life he lived, his grieving mum wrote this emotional tribute to him titled: You Are Me, I Am You. Please read below:I held you in my arms and my heart burst into a million pieces of joy.

It was an indescribable moment. You were adorable as I touched every bit of you. Giddy with joy, I counted your toes, your fingers, tiny and wriggly; a tough bundle of joy.

Your innocent gaze upon my face, those two adorable eyes, wide and searching as only a child’s would.

All the gems in Arabia would fade into insignificance at the emergence of your presence.

My son had come into the world, whole and complete you were.

I had looked forward to having my own son.

I carried you with pride and honour in my womb for 9 good months. Knowing that you will eventually be born made the discomforts of 9months seem like chewing a candy bar.

Here at last you were.

As you grew up into a most interesting young star, you were my joy.

In all of my trying moments, knowing that you trusted me and believed in me spurred me through even the roughest terrain.

Your childhood was joyful.

Your sister and you were my life. You still are my life. Nothing can erase your memory, not a thousand winds or a million rainfalls can replace those memories, not even a fearsome volcano can wipe you from me.

You are me, I am you.

I am devastated, I am pained, I am inconsolable, I am a mother shattered.

Who can console me but God? He knows best and did they not say those HE loves HE calls home early?

My son, the curtain fell too early for you, for us.

I am in the audience; I cannot jump on the stage where you are.

Even if I could, the curtain is drawn already. I cannot reach you.

I am tempted to say, why me, but why not me? God loves us.

HE took you my bundle of joy, even now I lean on HIM.

I can see you, stretching out those strong arms, I see you trying to console me, I see you

saying: “Mum, it was meant to be, it is not your fault”, I see you.

I see you everywhere.

Together, we walked for 19yrs, you brought me joy. You excelled in your academics, you made me a proud mother as you grew into a handsome, responsible, caring, humane, disciplined man.

I will forever remember you my son. Those fun times, the times you held me when I was down, like the man of the house, which you became so early in life…

I am consoled because I know for sure that you are in the bosom of the LORD.

I know for sure that we will meet again.You have not died, you are only asleep.

This thought will keep me going until I behold your delightful presence again.

I know you are here for I am you and you are me.

Naija Big Boys & Girls Groan As Acute Fuel Shortage Hits Nigeria [Photos]

Long queues of vehicles piled up at petrol stations across Nigeria on Monday while commuters were left stranded at bus stops as a fuel shortage hits hard.

Petrol marketers and tanker drivers blamed the shortfall on a delay in the approval of fuel import permits by the state-run oil firm — and warned that the situation could take weeks to resolve.

They called on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), accused recently by the former central bank governor of defrauding $20 billion in oil revenue, to make petrol reserves available.



In the meantime, motorists began panic buying and attendants were seen doing a brisk trade selling fuel in jerry-cans and plastic containers.

Drivers waited in line for fuel in the financial hub Lagos over the weekend as well as in the capital Abuja, the southern oil city of Port Harcourt and Kano, the biggest city in the north. In nearby towns of Ijebu-Ode and Epe, most fuel stations did not sell fuel on Sunday.

The few stations that have fuel were selling at between 100 and 150 naira (60-90 US cents, 43-65 euro cents) per litre — well above the official subsidised price of 97 naira, while it was heard that it was sold for N250/litre in some part of Lagos.

In Lagos, home to an estimated 20 million and notorious for traffic snarl-ups, long tail-backs outside petrol stations caused gridlock on roads, hitting even the shortest journeys.

“I have been in the queue since 4:00 am (0300 GMT) when I left home but it appears this petrol station will not sell,” motorist Sola Oke told a reporter at a filling station in the Abule-Egba district.

The shortage also had a knock-on effect on buses, which are widely used for commuting, forcing up fares by at least 50 percent and making those unable to pay the new prices to walk.

Businesses in Nigeria depend on petrol, not just to run company fleets but also back-up electricity generators given daily power outages on the country’s crumbling grid.

The National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) claimed the shortage was caused by a delay in approving fuel imports in the first quarter of this year.

“The importers got their permits for the first quarter only last week and this has created a shortfall in supply,” said the head of NUPENG’s petrol truck drivers arm, Tokunbo Korodo.

Depots ran out of fuel supplies two weeks ago, prompting rationing of the little that remained to petrol stations across the country, he added.

“A depot that normally loads 200 trucks now loads 25. In such a situation, there will be scarcity in the market,” he added.

Korodo said the shortage may continue until tankers brought fresh supplies, but he warned that it takes about three weeks to ship in fuel from abroad and it would take “some time” before there was enough fuel available across the country.

“The NNPC should release petrol from its reserves to save the situation,” he added.

Sani Abacha's Daughter Lashes Out At Prof. Wole Soyinka Over His Statement

Gumsu Sani Abacha, one of the daughters of late Nigerian dictator Gen. Sani Abacha, has lashed out at Prof. Wole Soyinka following the Nobel laureate’s statement about her father.

Giving reasons for rejecting Centenary Award from the Federal Government, the Nobel laureate, on Saturday said sharing the award with the late military dictator was an insult.

He said it was because the late military dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, was included in the list of awardees.



Gumsu took to her Facebook page and posted the following:


In a statement entitled, ‘The canonisation of terror,’ Soyinka said it was an insult for him to be listed alongside Abacha for the award, more so when killings of innocent citizens by the Boko Haram sect was ongoing in the North-East.

Soyinka recalled the state-sponsored assassinations and abuse of human rights that occurred during Abacha’s reign as military Head of State, and asked why the Federal Government had not changed the names of roads, hospitals and other public facilities that were named after Abacha.

He said, “Under that ruler, torture and other forms of barbarism were enthroned as the norm of governance. Nine Nigerian citizens, including the writer and environmentalist, Ken Saro-wiwa, were hanged after a trial that was stomach-churning even by the most primitive standards of judicial trial, and in defiance of the intervention of world leadership.

“We are speaking of a man who placed this nation under siege during an unrelenting reign of terror that is barely different from the current rampage of Boko Haram. It is this very psychopath that was recently canonised by the government of Goodluck Jonathan in commemoration of one hundred years of Nigerian trauma.”

Soyinka added that by honouring Abacha, President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration had ridiculed Nigeria in the presence of world leaders by glorifying “murderers and thieves.”
