This Harold Demuren is a typical paper tiger certain section of Nigeria tends applaud. I have waited to read he redesigned the hangers and upgraded the hydraulic service stations at Nigerian airports. Also that he incorporated technical schools to give young Nigerian engineers a head start on hydraulics and other aeronautic trades. In fact, I have not read any tangible thing he has done as an indigenous engineer to promote growth among young Nigerian engineers in the aviation sector.

Unfortunately for you, he was not your minister for education, he was not your minister for science and technology, he was never your dumb and incompetent. These clowns are responsible for what you are crying about and you give them billions every year to carry out that responsibility, not Mr Demuren.


No wonder all odechukwu supporters are all mentally misplaced and low grade thinkers just like odechukwu himself..

Is the FCAA the federal agency responsible for educating and training your engineers and do you allocate to them funds to carry out that obligation? When you come back with another ignorant response, make sure you come back with a copy of the functions of the FCAA stipulating that they educate and train engineers including the federal funding for that purpose.

Your posts are very irresponsible. In fact, they do not deserve a response. In USA, FAA does not graduate engineers but help provide growth and advancement in certain fields in aviation sector.

In my previous posts, there was no iota of allusion that agency graduates engineers. It sucks to be a jackass such as you.

Sir,
While your line of argument initially looks correct, logical reasoning points out that your conclusion that he's the best ever candidate for the job, based on the wrong assumption that the strength of his qualifications alone make him untouchable by all other candidates is faulty.

Certs and books do not necessarily make a person the best option for a role. There are several other factors to consider and while our past DG may have possessed these in abundant quality, there might just be someone better out there.

So if we should base our arguments on so and so awards, then OBJ (arguably the worst leader in Nigerian history) should have been left as life president so as not to upset the balance and he had loads of awards too. I mean he still chairs a lot of committees on Ecowas and AU boards.

Or let's take Barcelona for example, they had an excellent coach in Rijkaard who just had a bad season and they ousted him for Guardiola because, the mgt saw that in the grand scheme of things, Pep was a better choice in the long-term than Rijkaard even though no one knew him then especially compared to Rijkaard's excellent credentials.

The only problem/difficulty I see in this debacle is the assumption we'll have to make that GEJ and his team of incompetents who don't even know how to perform the most basic of functions actually has considered the long-term implication of leaving Demuren in office and decided it wasn't wise.

These questions of tribalism and politicising of appointments would not have arisen if we had a credible administrator as a president!

But then, the joke is on us; WE ELECTED HIM!

NB: I'm a Nigerian and I don't belong 2 any tribe.

Tell us about the PH "debacle". So NCAA should be held responsible for military aviation safety?
In the case of Dana, even Group Captain Obakpolor who was appointed by Aviation Minister exonerated Demuren
Tell us how Nebo who is less than 1 month on the job is a professional and Demuren is not
Tell us why a man whose tenure saw the return of direct flights between Nigeria and US has not improved processes
Tell us how airlines have been cutting corners
Last time I heard it was FAAN MD that was complaining about Arik's refusal to pay airport charges due to Arik's "connections". So how come Arik's MD was not sacked

Because he's Igbo. Don't ask me how come, its in the gene.

motif8:

if u don't have fact there is no reason wjhy u shoul post my man, how many plane crashed during his time? it is not only dana that d so called aviation minister and hjer people planned to edge demure out? it is not dat demuren shoul stay forever but i tell u they cant replace him for now. a man that close 12am and resume 5am everyday and within that short hours he called airort time to time to make sure staffs are on duty. apart from dat thjere is no aircraft jhe cant fly to know jhow healthy it is. he has grounded so many scrap all tjhis stakeholders broughjt as plane and they are not happy.

but guess what in the next 2 or 3 month he will be hired by Russia aviation or US because the know his worth

Motif8: ur opening statement is actually an unfortunate function of the despicable state of Nigeria and the non-existence of appropriate monitoring of governance.

Your thinking is:
-Is it not ONLY a plane crash?
-Just a single one shey?
-Compared to all the others we'd been having before, should we not be awarding this man for cleaning up the sector?

Dear friend, in an ideal society, one crash caused by administrative irresponsibility is a crash too many for any administrator under whose watch regulations were so lax that planes with a combination faulty engines and a pilot with a marathon schedule were allowed to take off.

The simple fact that no airport regulation official was recorded as raising an objection gives credibility to the conclusion that this was standard practice.

That ONE CRASH was a testament that he was criminally negligent in the discharge of his duty of care and should be held vicariously liable as has been the case. Should any lawsuit be instituted, u can be sure he would be joined as a co-defendant. And given his credentials, this was someone who actually was trained to operate by the highest standards, but too many years operating as a local champion had eroded his principles.

I don't really think he can get a similar job to this anywhere else except maybe in Niger, Somalia or any other back water country. The best he can hope for is to consult which with his credentials should be easy but assuming Russia or US'll employ him as an administrator in their aviation sector? Haba!

manny4life: IMO, the man may have achieved much, his reputation may as well speak for itself, but let's keep n mind that there are better candidates out there that can revolutionize the aviation industry. While his achievement was there, let's not forget the several mishaps and incursions that has occurred under his watch. He has served his nation well, he should move onto other things.

Yeah there are, but why sack him, why not allow him finish his tenure? He has been dealt a bad hand, hopefully, someone better is appointed.

my only problem with Demuren's sacking is the pressure put on the president by our countrys' "aviation stakeholders". Anybody who brings in the issue of tribalism is just a fool in my opinion. This is way beyond an issue as trivial as tribalism & I believe the president should have used his good office to keep Demuren at least till his tenure expires. Those in the houses of assembly are squarely to blame for this distasteful situation.

iyammah: Nigerians should know that the sack of Dr. Harold Demuren will result to new era of incessant plane crash. The 2015 is by the corner, blood sucking politicians will have assess to down so many plane for sacrifice. Nigerians should be aware. This effort to remove Dr. H Demuren, I see blood everywhere.

Iyammah: I wanted to comment, then I laughed and changed my mind, then I laughed some more and here I am!

U see blood everywhere? No doubt u have vision that others don't please help us clean up the blood and prevent more from spillin (and now I'm not joking). I'm someone who likes to maintain a certain amount of healthy respect for other peoples' opinions/values so if there's any way u can help us prevent this so-called impending bloodbath kindly help out.

But really, at the rate we're going, do we need ritualist politicians to cause air crashes, our administrators are doing a very good job.

You make some very good points but many parts of your arguments are speculative at best. No one is telling you "certs and books" make Demuren the best option. The fact is that his academic and professional talent, to cover the holy grail of solution provision that solidifies reputations, is not in doubt and should not be disparaged by any sensible person. I don't know why he was sacked but we cannot just assume it is because he goofed. We are seeing evidence, daily , that this is a President who will move against anyone perceived a threat to his direct or affiliated political interest.

You ask yourself what Allison-Madueke has made of our Petroleum sector if not mired it in sleaze and corruption to the extent David Cameron had to publicly ask the GEJ government to account for the trillions received through the sector in recent years with Nigeria having nothing to show for that vast amount. After the latest episode of Allison-Madueke making a fool of Nigeria with her open compromise of the Ribadu Petroleum task force, tell me who is more deserving of a sacking in Nigeria than that Lady. Also, we all remember Azazi being sacked after he claimed the PDP was behind Boko Haram. Those are the sort of observations that tell many this is not a President who hires, fires or retain appointees purely on merit and principles. If some now question his motives for sacking Demuren, then they have solid reasons to do so because analytically intelligent people can only make inference from the consistent behaviour of others. If a well-known unrepentant kleptomaniac, would it be wrong for me to assume you may have stolen the watch you are wearing on your ankle instead of your wrist?

In what way has He become. Complacent? Do you know what it means to operate in a lawless nation without institution of governance? This man brought about so many charges that saw Nigeria skies a safe heaven in fly in again during Obasanjo cum Yar'dua era because He had the backing of the FG to bring sanity to the aviation industry.

Like I said, He should go to Ethiopia, they would value Him big time or better still go to Ghana and go help them strength their Aviation industry and help them get CAT1 status. I am sure then Nigeria will value their own .

why are you soo bitter about d sacking of dis man? They may bring in more competent person to take charge of dat position, besides u cant succide if u dont take risk at times. Pls stop being bitter because it cant chant anytin.

Duru1: I have waited to read he redesigned the hangers and upgraded the hydraulic service stations at Nigerian airports. Also that he incorporated technical schools to give young Nigerian engineers a head start on hydraulics and other aeronautic trades. In fact, I have not read any tangible thing he has done as an indigenous engineer to promote growth among young Nigerian engineers in the aviation sector.

Is it his job function to do all that?!

He was being paid with taxpayers' money to carry out a job...he fulfilled the terms of his employment creditably. Why throw in cheap criticisms? Next you'll be heckling him because of the quality of the puff-puff Arik Air serves in-flight.
Nonsense.

You many not 'belong to any tribe' but you've got severe issues comprehending written English. how exactly are the following



'Certificates and books' as you dismissively refer to them?

Hey,
There was no need to attack my personality sir, just stick to clarifying issues.

I see the list of "awards" now I might have overlooked 'em b4.

So lemme' re-word the phrase as 'Certificates, books and awards'

I like using analogies to simplify issues, let's take S/Eagles and Stephen Keshi 4 example and analyze the list of accomplishment:

If Keshi obtains the highest ever FIFA ranking for the national team without winning any competition will we call him a great coach? No

If he leads the team to successfully complete routine training sessions does that make him an outstanding coach? No

If under his administration, the players pass several doping tests, is he a magnificent coach? Still no.

Similarly, most of these "achievements" u mention are ordinary functions any airport administrator should be able to carry out and the fact that we would now celebrate him for these is pitiable. We are so starved of talent we celebrate all the routine things.

As one commentator had aptly put it above, these are inevitable events that would have occurred in due time anyways and his facilitating them doesn't make him the best in the business, he was just there at the right time.

Fighting for passage of bills, trying to replace old crafts, these are all initiatives that have been on ground several decades before him.

The IATA E-ticket achievement is more credible but question still remains: is this an accomplishment his initiative and did he single-handedly start and finish it? Or it was a continuation of efforts of others who were like-minded.

In conclusion, Does Mikel Obi's simple pass that led to a goal make him the best midfielder in Chelsea? No! Of course he may be good, but performing a routine function for which you are paid millions is nothing special.

It's when u distinguish urself at it above your counterparts in other similarly endowed establishments that u can truly be called excellent. Not comparing Nigerian aviation with Beninoise......

Perhaps this will put things in better perspective:

"Dear friend, in an ideal society, one crash caused by administrative irresponsibility is a
crash too many for any administrator under
whose watch regulations were so lax that planes with a combination of faulty engines and a pilot with a marathon schedule were allowed to take off.

The simple fact that no aircraft inspection and regulation official was recorded as raising an objection gives credibility to the conclusion that this was standard practice.

That ONE CRASH was a testament that our DG was
criminally negligent in the discharge of his
duty of care and should be held vicariously
liable as has been the case. Should any lawsuit
be instituted, u can be sure he would be joined as a co-defendant. And given his credentials, this was someone who actually was trained to
operate by the highest standards, but too many years operating as a local champion had
eroded his principles."

Cheers man.
