Stella Obasanjo was a nice woman who made a lot of friends in high places and fought for women in politics. She fought for her husband too, and when Kudirat died she relaised that she was putting herself in danger!

Aftermath of Bellview Air Crash: Will the families of the victims be compensated?

Aftermath of Bellview Air Crash: Will the families of the victims be compensated?

I doubt it, that never happened in Nigeria, i think

YOu think so QUeen. But I KNOW so. It will never happen!

They'ld all be compensated. Infact a token is on the way for them this week from Bellview, pending when the actual amount would be paid. When ADC crashed in 1996 @ Ejinrin, the next of kins of the victims were duely compensated, cos I have a church member in the plane then and knew when the wife was paid

yes

the airline insures every passenger

i heard some thing will be paid this week pending the payment of main money

hmmm...

Well, all I know is that there's a reason to everything that happens to mankind. I agree with someone who said it was predestined to happen that way (i.e. the plane crash). God is not evil, but then, he allows certain things to happen for our own good.

What annoys me the most about disasters like this is when those who have managed to escape the disaster would say things like, "I was going to board the plane but I was late and I missed the plane. Thanks God o".

Of course, they have to thank God for they were not part of the crash. If you were in their shoes, you'd do the same.

As if to say that those that perished were all sinners, while those who were lucky to espcape were saints. As if to say that God rewards laziness and lateness but punishes those who are hardworking and prompt.

It's nothing like the way you are seeing it at all. I know of someone who had to go to Abuja with the same airline, he was to enter the same airplane that had a crash. He was so much in a hurry because he was delayed by his mother that he didn't even eat the food that was prepared for him. He eventually boarded a taxi to take him to the airport. On getting there, he was told that the plane he was supposed to enter (which was the same that had a crash) just left some seconds ago. When he later discovered that it was the same plane that crashed, he gave a testimony in his church.

What I'm trying to say here is this: It's not that he is better than those who died in the crash, it was just by the grace of God. Only God knows why HE prevented some people from entering the same plane that HE made some others to enter. We cannot question HIM.

Thanks to Mr. President, contrary to the pronouncement of our Hon. Minister of Aviation (Prof. Borishade)who said reports of the cause of Bellview plane crash will not be public, the President has orded the cause be known to the public.

So the relatives of the victims and geral public will know the cause of the crash.
OBJ Kudos, Hon. Minister learn will from OBJ's trasparency and _opential govt

That's so nice to hear.

that's good

yea, good to know the cause will be made known to the public and yes, the families will be compensated as well,$100,000 each.

I think it's too small. What does 14 million naira want to do for them?

Naira can never buy lovely ones. I guess thats why it is just for compensation.

yep, its just compensation though we cant compare it with the lost lives but i believe the compensation will help some families. i wish the money could have been paid in a sort of trust fund for the children of the victims cos next thing u know, families will start fighting over the compensation

At least it's a start, and that amount of money will go a long way in nigeria (admitably at a terriable cost)

layi, before i say anything i would like to know if u are from ogun state. u dont seem to be sympathetic at all. o ga fuun ee o, abeg we dey mourn for ogun.






black day cont black black black

gentleone, I am still thinking over what you said

@drbigdaddyg, about what?

goodguy:

I think it's too small. What does 14 million naira want to do for them?

even if no amount of money can buy life the amount pay out as compensation is okay

Gentleone, I mean you have a point there

i wish the money could have been paid in a sort of trust fund for the children of the victims because next thing u know, families will start fighting over the compensation

the money will be paid to their beneficiary

P.S. people should learn to update their will

please no amt of money can bring a loved one back . lost my aunt and i know no compensation can heal the family she left behind. even if they compensate them, how much can they possibly give that will surmount to what those that died would av benefited their families in the future.

In like vein , i understand the points people r tryn to prove that at least they'll give them something unlike in previous disasters. but we all know nija now, the bureaucratic process will totally destroy the whole objective and leaves beneficiaries stranded.

Although heard money has been sent out to legit next of kin so at least thats a good start. But why does ngr av to wait for a calamity of such magnitude to occur. Come to think of it, if the money been given out had been used to sort out the aircrafts , wont it have made a diff?

@vizion

how many nigerians have wills?

I have being following the whole story on the bellview, and i just heard the recent announcement by the Federal Govt, offering a sum of money for any information on the black box. And i really started feeling like a 'mooron' on behalf of we the 'lower nigerians'. attached is a report from the Daily independent on the issue of the black box, that was after the crash and we didnt get any apology or denial from him when the federal Govt said the black box ha not been found.
i listened to a chat by some aviation experts on AIT, and they said the recovery of a black box from a crash site should not be to hard and with the help of the manufactuers of the plane 'cos they said they have trackers' , one wonders why it has not been found till date. and we hear the box is indestructable.
so i ask again what is 'SOMEONE or should i say SOME PEOPLE' trying to hide.
and the whole issue of some Govt official 'narrowly' missing the flight. and is it also coincidental that it was mostly some 'officials' in support of Obj's 3rd term bid that were on dat plane, and some dat have'sympathetic wannabe president(s)' as friends had last minute change of plans.
i wonder if theres a connection we are missing
