HISTORY OF THE ILL-FATED AIRCRAFT:::LAGOS

HISTORY OF THE ILL-FATED AIRCRAFT:::LAGOS — There are indications that the Dana Air MC Donnell Douglas MD 83 which crashed around Iju-Ishaga area of Lagos ,yesterday has a history of worrying defaults even before original owners, US-based Alaska Airlines sold it to Dana Airlines on February 17, 2009.

According to the information from Aviation Safety Network, an exclusive service of the Air safety Foundation, the ill-fated aircraft was acquired by Alaska Airline in November 13, 1990 with registration number N944AS.

However, on November 4, 2002 the aircraft developed fault and had emergency diversion due to smoke and electrical smell in the cabin area, which engineers said was because light ballast had over heated.

Four years after, the aircraft’s health was also called to question when on August 20, 2006, it was again evacuated after landing at the Long Beach, CA due to a chaffed wire bundle that discharged and produced smoke in the cabin area again.

Apparently scared that the worst could happen, Alaska Airlines was said to have on August 21 parked the aircraft at Victorville until September 11 2008 when it carried out maintenance on it.

Eventually on February 2009 Alaska Airlines shifted the burden to Nigeria when it sold the ill-fated plane as 5N-RAM. The MD-83 was manufactured in 1983, announced go-ahead on January 31, 1983 and had first flight on December 17, 1984

It was a longer range development of the basic MD-81/82 with higher weights, more powerful engines, increased fuel capacity and longer range. It was equipped with slightly more powerful 21,000 1bf (93 kN) Pratt and Whitney JT8D-219s as standard.

The aircraft also had higher operating weights with MTOW increased to 160,000 1b and MLW to 139,500 1b. Typical range for the MD-83 with 155 passengers in around 2,504 nautical miles (4,637km).::::::::::::::

Why Has The House Of Representative’s Committee Report Been Buried?

Why Has The House Of Representative’s Committee Report Been Buried?

In January 2012, there was an awakening of the average Nigerian to his rights as a citizen and the government’s responsibility toward the people. For the first time ever, the budget was being discussed in every household, office, bar, and at social gatherings. The people for once were taking interest in the acts and inactions of their selected or elected officials. This interest arose from the removal of subsidy on fuel and Nigerians where suddenly beginning to ask where their money went to, and what it had been spent on. Many people took to the streets and demanded for accountability, transparency, proper use of funds and implementation of the budget. A lot of us stood up and claimed the reason we were on the street was about ‘MORE THAN N65′. We screamed, shouted, blogged and held firm. Then came TUC/NLC’s shameful compromise and the whole protest stuttered as a whole. People where disappointed, disillusioned, and tired. After that outing, we all pretty much went back to sleep. We resumed our lives and most of us stopped saying anything. The few who were still talking were doing so with a little less force.
What happened to all us us who were demanding for the resignation of Diezani for the role she played in the corruption in the Petroleum industry? What did we do with the famous KPMG report? What happened to our anger? Our zeal for change? What happened to the 60 day ultimatum given to Ribadu and his ‘oil revenue special task force‘? What happened to the conflicting numbers of Madam Okonjo Iweala, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and Deazani Alison-Madueke? Why has the House of Representative’s committee report been buried? Have we uncovered the true figures of how much PMS we consume daily? Do we know the quantity of PMS we import daily, the quantity we export and at how much we sell it for? Have we uncovered how much we’have paid for subsidy in 2009, 2010, 2011 or to whom we’have paid those sums to? The answer is no.
HERE IS A REMINDER OF THINGS THAT HAVE REMAINED THE SAME:
The famous ‘CABAL‘ has not been exposed, prosecuted or stopped.
The waste in government has not reduced.
NO Petroleum Industry Bill has been passed.
Corruption has not been tackled.
The masses are still suffering.
People are still dying of hunger.
Hospitals are still in a dilapidated state.
Or roads remain death traps.
Schools teach nothing or close to nothing.
Bombs are still going off & boko haram is at large
WHAT HAS GONE WORSE? We’re paying more for fuel. We’re paying more for transportation. We’re paying more for food. We’re paying more for schools. We’re paying more in public and private hospitals. The rate of crime has gone up significantly. Political office holders are paid even more than they were before January 2012 BUT strangely, we’re talking less!
WHAT CAN WE DO? I’have always said we need to get people educated. We need to get everyone interested in government and governance. The rights of an individual and what the government owes you in return: basically, what the people government are paid so handsomely to do.
The truth is, as much as it sounds fabulous to have a few people fighting for the rights of all others, it sadly remains unsustainable. We need everyone fighting this common fight. We need the same level of participation i had with my group in January. Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions. We need people demanding answers to hard questions. We need the people in Edo, Lafia, Biu, Ore, Bende, Aba, & Duntsen-ma asking why the LG road is still bad, why the schools are in shambles, and why maternal care is crappy and where the money has gone to. We need people caring, and we need people participating. If occupyNigeria is the solution to our problem! well I have little to say to you, we need you to get up again.

Save UNILAG Action Committee

The bill for the change of name was sent to our senators today with "sth"!!!
This is now a game of "Money VS Brain".
For a start:

1. We need the direct lines of all the senators in our nation.
2. We need to visit bourdillon villa "JAGABAN" ASAP.

We also appreciate all your efforts in the present protest & the students of our prestigious UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS have resolved to commence e-Protest (i.e. via Social media, Newspaper/Newsletter, TV, etc). Since our FG tear-gased & got us injured doing our peaceful protest @ UNILAG's gate.

"We are the greatest of the greatest to the greatest Akokaites!!!! Aluta continua, and surely Victoria Ascerta"

Committees are needed;
Save UNILAG!

Don’t judge life by one difficult season

Once there was a father who wanted to train his four sons. He wanted his sons to learn, not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Moral: Don’t judge life by one difficult season.

Nigeria Launched Made In Nigeria Energy-Saving Light Bulbs

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday launched made in Nigeria energy-saving light bulbs. Apparently to avoid insinuations that the bulbs were launched because of the coming increase in electricity rates, the President said "even if we have abundant power, we need it. The whole world is changing, they are phasing out the bulbs that emit so much heat to the ones that save energy. It has nothing to do with our commitment to stabilize power in this country. we will continue to work hard to stabilize power."

NO COUP GAMBLE FOR NIGERIA PLEASE

No Coup Gamble for Nigeria Please

From Lagos to Kaduna From Enugu to Maiduguri From Jos to Port-Harcourt TOGETHER, We Reject Current Unprecedented Levels of Corruption And Apparent Panic Treasury Looting in Federal, State,Local Governments And Non Governmental Institutions in Nigeria.

BUT We Do Not Approve of Any Coup Gamble That Is Likely To Eventually Lead to A Violent , Wasteful, Destructive Disintegration of Nigeria.

THEREFORE We Shall Work Together to Pursue Positive Change in our Obviously Imperfect Civil Democratic Set Up To Make Life Better for ALL Nigerians.

We BEG Mr President, All State Governors, Federal and State Legislators and Three Leading Traditional Rulers from Each State to Please Coordinate and take Urgently Needed Actions to Save Nigerian People from Imminent PREVENTABLE FURTHER CALAMITIES and CHAOS.

SOMETHING TANGIBLE MUST BE DONE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN NIGERIA NOW.

These should include but not limited to working earnestly to :

1. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws to legally empower and finance State Police NOW.

2. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws to empower voluntary organized security intelligence and civil defence outfits at Village, Town, State and Zonal = Regional levels NOW.

3. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws that ensure public accountability by public servants to Nigerian people at all levels NOW.

4. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws that compel public servants to pursue people security and development as first priority with resources currently available.

5. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws that further guarantee freedom to political, religious and other beliefs and association for ALL who live in Nigeria.

6. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws that compel obviously orderly free and fair future Nigerian elections at ALL levels.

7. Pass and IMPLEMENT laws for TRUE FEDERALISM in Nigeria NOW.

Recognise the Six Nigerian Zones in current existence as Regional Groups of States in the Nigerian Constitution. Drop all discussion of and waste of precious resources on new predictably unviable states creation now.‬

8. Make Nigerian Federal Government Executive to be CONSTITUTIONALLY ALWAYS NATIONALLY INCLUSIVE by compelling ONE nomination by the elected state assembly from each state in a smaller Federal Government Executive .9. Work out New Equitable Revenue Sharing Formula to increase percentage allocation to all states for increased responsibilities.

10. Stop taking ALL FOREIGN LOANS for now but concentrate instead first on stopping panic treasury looting and large scale assets thefts from Nigeria.

Thank you.
From Dr Kayode Olamijulo
