There are so many other examples that I want to give, but time will not permit me. There's the "Clinton haircut issue" when planes were prevented from landing, so that Clinton could cut his hair. There are the many times when fighter jets were scrambled, because planes strayed into Air Force One's airspace. I was going to post an example of what happens when there are road and airspace closures, to show you that the President has no idea what's happening and did not give the order for their closure. 1 Like |

@aboki, Are you annoyed because the airport was busy and your plane couldn't land or are you annoyed that the airport was busy due to dignitaries leaving the airport. Portharcourt is not a large airport and on a day like the one you flied when there is a high profile ceremony involving the president, you would expect increased air traffic and it happens everywhere. Would you have been this annoyed if the airport was busy without the involvement of GEJ? BTW you were never in Fresh air train otherwise yesterday alone wouldn't have affected so much that you will disparage his wife. 2 Likes |

Oops you are very silly. It is a standard practice for the air space to be sealed up when the president of any country is about flying, it is done all over the world. Even the oil companies in port harcourt suspend all their flying activities until the president is done. The silly air line you used shd have delayed the flight until is it safe to land in PH before take off, and you are here blabbing. There is no place that is sealed up in port harcourt cos I drove through presidential hotel and GRA yesterday. So stop the hocus pocus. 1 Like |

airmark: @OP, how was the hovering for 45minutes in PH like? Were passengers upbeat? Feed us more now. I was hoping to get a response from another Nairalander who may have been on board. I was seated at the very last seat. The whole plane was filled with angry passengers with some even calling for the Plane to either go to Owerri or back to Lagos. Me I just pin for one corner, dey pray say the Pilot buy full tank of fuel before we start movement.. ![]() |

It is only in Nigeria this can happen. When I was in Sango-Ota, as far as this place is from MMIA, Ikeja, I was always seeing planes hovering in the airspace for hours because the President or his wife is in the airport. |

But Naptu has provided us with some highly insightful links to show how conventional such practice is. I have read all the responses and have seen the anti GEJs blatantly refuse to comment on those. Mental indiscipline is really rife amongst Nigerians. Very rarely do we see objectivity. Honestly, when I start having misgivings about Jonathan, I come to nairaland and get instant cure from the highly biased and polarised arguments spewed forth here. How much was actually spent on the burial? What percentage of it was from the Fed Govt's purse? That's objectivity! Should Fash want to do something similar, he would be surprised at the rate donations would be pouring in. That's a fact! Back to topic, it would do the OP and his backers a whole lot of good to google the security arrangements made for Obama's visit to Israel and make comparisons. Maybe Obama is different, after all, he's the President of 'A whole USA', The only argument that seemed to make sense-to me-was the suggestion for the Airforce base as a better alternative. But do we know how equipped for such it is ![]() The only argument that seemed to make sense-to me-was the suggestion for the Airforce base as a better alternative.

Arysexy: @ mr aboki a.k.a okija juju, bros u dissapoint me with this thread. Ichie.. Mba o!! ![]() Heres my complaint sir; 1. Port Harcourt has two Airfields. Omagwa (Commercial) and NAF Base Military. Since the President knew that his Mother-in-laws burial would attract the usual flies that follows him about, he should have commandeered the Airforce Base and allow the regular scheduled flights for Omagwa to continue undisturbed. Lets not forget that when you halt or disrupt air travel like they did, it costs the State and the COuntry money somewhere, somehow. Whilst in the Air, I counted atleast 3 small Jets that flew by underneath us. I don't think it is wise to risk the safety of Thousands for the comfort of tens. (I hope you can understand) 2. Why did it take the death of the Foster Mother in Law of the President for that ELeme road to be fixed?! Just incase you do not understand the importance of Eleme road, let me explain it to you. Eleme ROad houses the following high priority National interests; - Eleme Petrochemical Refinery - National Fertilizer company - Access to Onne Free Trade Port - Access to Onne Port - A lot of Oil & Gas Fabrication Companies and yards - Its one of the entry/exit points from port Harcourt. This road is so important to Rivers State and Nigeria that it a surprise that it as left in such abject decay. The traffic on that road everyday can drive you mad. But what it took to fix that road was the death of the '1st mother-in-law'. I'm sorry but if nobody sees a problem with that, I do. Or shoud we wait for Jonathans Mother to die for the East-West rad that leads from Port-Harcourt to Bayelsa to be fully fixed?! You know that I have been a die-hard Jonathan supporter (only shifting sides when it involves Amaechi). I voted for Jonathan and was going to vote for him again. But beyond my tribal and ethnic sentiments, I don't think I would be doing Jonathan any good if I don't call his fuckups out. Ifu ife di njo, lets say it. If that Plane had dropped out of the sky as a result of this VIP priority access crap, Threads would be here on Nairaland floating around speculating what went wrong with Stella Oduah and NCAA taking the blame, ut we te passengers would be 6 feet underground (if we are lucky) and our stories would never be heard. I reminded you that DANA Air was kept in a holding Pattern that resulted in the death of over 150 people because we had 1 VIP passenger flying off.. ![]() Mba nu, oburo otus ka anyi kwesili I na ebi na obodo a. |

Billyonaire: The Pilot called out 'Prepare for landing' at 4:50. We circled until he called out again twice apologizing. Finally, he calls out to say; We have been bumped up and given 'priority' landing. Lets not forget that flights had been delayed to Port-Harcourt all day because of this funeral o. The flight I flew on was actually scheduled for 1.30. It left by 4. I was on the 3pm Arik and my flight was already late by 1 hour. I had to beg to be put on the 1.30 flight. |

What do you guys expect from an aboki that lack fore sight? The problem with tribalistic citizens of my dear 9ja is simply confusion which is a fruit from the tree of ignorance. Power will never go to any stupid president that will put all our resources into Swiss banks . Gej has achieved more than the past presidents and he will move this country forward.
