haka_nai: Azazi, Yakowa Tragedy: Crashed Navy Helicopter Had ‘Engine Failure’ After 10 Trips I'm sorry, but the highlighted parts of the report is nothing but UTTER CRAP JOURNALISM and lies from the depths of hell! First of all, the president does NOT use the Navy's AW-109 LUH helos, but the NAF's AW-139 that's under the presidential fleet. The 2nd AW-139 under the control of NIMASA and the NN is used EXCUSIVELY for SEARCH & RESCUE (SAR) ops. Seriously, I've had it with Sahara Reporters and their lies. Someone MUST call them to order. 1 Like |

passion007: Sadly, it's the internet, the death of spelling and grammar...RIP...So long! Who appointed the chief of Naval Staff? GEJ. If you understand how offices politics works, you will know that the Chief of Naval Staff can only operate with the space provided by GEJ. It is possible that GEJ himslef might not have requested for the release of the Naval helicopter but owing to the power he has knowingly or unknowingly given to his aids; the aide can get whatever they want from every parastatal of government without following due-process. That is why administration in Nigeria is all about "hangers-on" and sycophancy. It is the body language of those on Top that creates it. Some body like Idiagbon will never allow such. GEJ from all I can see around him is encouraging it. If you follow his antecedents, especially his appointment of Ringim as Inspector general of Police when everyone knows of his incompetency, you will see how bad GEJ is. I need not tell you that GEJ himself is incompetent if you are a very good and unbiased observer of Nigerian Politics and our politicians. We should try follow his rise from ALams to Obasanjo good book before he became VP. We should take a look at his performance in Yar'auda's Cabinet and judge him by that. We should think on how he dumped his most performing Minister and how he had tackled Boko Haram and other security challenges. I do not see GEJ capable of even running my village. It is unfortunate I warned people about it. I wrote an article the day he tried banning Nigeria from world soccer and was threatened by a telkephone call on a Sunday by group of people from an enclosed Location. From my calculation that could have only came from the security office or his campaign team. That is how I read GEJ a desperate power hungry and incompetent man; and he has not let me down. I wish him and Nigerians luck. Meanwhile, I work for a Revolution. That's the only solution. |

Kay-Dee:there are commercial helicopters as well> several companies in nigeria have helicopters for commercial purposes. U think shell, chevron, agip and co all use navy helicopters? We waste state resources in nigeria for personal needs and wants. Jonathan really messed up by assigning a public asset like that to his cronies for their personal needs. May their souls rest in peace. Yuck, naija can be disgusting. the money for that helicopter would have fixed the roads leading to that community where this burial was held. Mstchew. |

MRbrownJAY: one of the reason why these helicopters could have had engine failure is if they were not serviced properly.so many people dying of heart failure due to obesity,please go to this link to meet with a proffessional fitness coach. https://www.nairaland.com/1135114/stay-fit-call-us-today-swift#13425829 |

The Nigerian military has become so useless that their officers and expensive equipment have become errand tools in the hands of illiterate politicians. Of what use is Oronto Douglas to Nigeria that our naval officers are losing their lives over his late father's burial jamboree? Imagine soldiers following politicians all over the place in the name of protection, when we have the police. No wonder they're accused of being incapable of anything apart from manning checkpoints. 1 Like |

this is 9ja and everyhing is posible; a chopper can only blast if it collide wit any object like mountains or trees not just engine failure and note that it fell into the creek, so were did the fire comes from well nag 9ja we dey, i no surprise with 9ja government at all level. i strongly believe that Azazi was the target maybe not from brother jonah but from bayelsa state government.

Just imagine US government's marine helicopters used to shuttle guests to and from the burial of President's advisors mother or even the burial of even Hilary Clinton's father's burial. You guys in UK may also imagine Prime Minister Cameron authorizing the use of Royal Navy helicopters to ferry funeral guests . Just because the deceased is the father of one of his advisers! These bandits will tell you how well they know America and BLA BLA BLA and that they are civilized and know democracy and have many university degrees etc etc etc . Bloody criminals!! : Balewa will never do that. Gowon has never done that, Murtala would never approve that, Shagari will not support this , Buhari will find this unthinkable, even babangida and Abacha never tried this. Obasanjo will certainly see this as very odd. Yar Adua would not recommend this even for his own funeral. It is only the otuoke PhD , the shoeless , clue less fisherman from the creeks who thinks this is how to be a president . 1 Like |

I have only 2 questions, cloely related to the topic: 1. Was the helicopter, by any chance, maintained by Corner Cutters International Ltd? 2. Why was a pilot unable to safely land a helicopter using auto-rotation?? |

It wouldn't be much problem if Azazi had used it alone seeing that he was once a General. MMore and more woes are heaping on GEJ regime. Ten trips from Ph to Bayelsa is equivalent to lagos to Ph I suppose. And the chopper did not cover the whole journey at once. Don't you think a Toyota can travel from Lad to Ph without even stopping for a breaK? There's more to it. |

EasyG: A failed engine/engines in a chopper does not suffice to cause a crash. It is designed to remain in flight through auto rotation which every helicopter pilot is taught. The power turbine is disengaged from the main rotor gear box and the rotor blades continue turning due to inertia and the helicopter can be landed safely as soon as possible. I said it in the beginning Awusa people killed the Kaduna governor and Azazi and others were collateral damage This death is not ordinary I smell northern islamic agenda all over it |

it is just poor maintainace, i worked at addax's base in calabar. And i say the way the engineers there takes care and check the helicopters. There so much give attention to it as if it wasnt serviced for weeks, but yet it would be checked again when it returns from her trip, in an hours time. They dont manage, it either you replace the parts, or she wont fly, nigerian navy no try o, for Gods sake it is a presidential heli.

Of what significance is the burial of a civilian to warrant the services of military helicopters? This VIP syndrome is what is killing the nation. The Niger Delta needs aggressive development. The area needs good roads, railways & ferry services. The day the common man & the VIPs are treated equally is the day Nigeria shall be liberated. May the souls of the departed gentlemen rest in peace. |

honeric01: You, sir, are a total slowpoke. How the hell did you pass your WAEC exams? 'cos you just failed woefully in comprehension. Read the damn article again!! Didn't it day that the AW-109 stationed in the Niger-Delta was preserved for the exclusive use of the president? By the way, you do know that the Navy, along with NAF, already have 109s in their inventory, right? Or you're so dumb to read about that. Speaking about "aquisitions", the last paragraphs of this junk article mentioned the AW-101 (EH-101 Merlin) as the proposed "luxury" helos, not the 109s already being utilized. Seriously, I strongly suggest the take up the same advice you just gave about re-enrolling in school, 'cos you really need it. I recommend you book your classes immediately. Idiot. |

ocelot2006: Even with all your long sermon, you still showed that you actually need real education. Read again: The chopper belonged to the Nigeria navy, but it had been placed at the exclusive service of the president in the Niger Delta region. Placed at his exclusive services does not mean he fly about in it, rather it means he's the one who gives directives on how it's used and who use it, he may decide to use it or not if he wants and at the same time, he may decide on how its to be used and the final say is on him, that's what that statement stands for.
