crisycent: [b]Dear Nairalanders,

Let us be very frank in our assessment. The truth behind the crash of Dana airline is not that Dana's aircraft are too old to fly or that they have poor maintenance culture or because their pilots are poorly trained. The sad truth is that the ill fated Dana plane left abuja for lagos on "low fuel" but that fuel is enough to get them from Abuja to Lagos safely.

Then what happened? Remember that our first lady, Patience was in lagos the same day that the Dana plane crashed!!! The airspace in lagos was "CLOSED" because our first lady was in town. The Dana aircraft was hovering around the airport for more than 30 minutes on low fuel and still the airspace was closed.

Finally, the plane crashed when it finally ran out of fuel. I know that you have heard several stories about Dana having bad planes, but think of this. If the federal government suddenly gives dana the right to fly again after saying that dana has bad aircraft's, who is deceiving who? the government knows the truth and should be held responsible for killing innocent Nigerians for their "SELFISH" and stupid reason....If you are the wife of a president, why can't you allow other aircraft land after yours have landed? and the sad truth is that madam jonathan was not even at the airport....what a shame!![/b]

byrron: Who is this?
My frnd there is a deffrence from making a point and being rational.
Figure it out.

Sisi_Kill: Ever Since the President took over PHCN, electricity in my area has been constant. . .a whole 4hrs a day!! I never see darkness even when I close my eyes (How he accomplished that is a mystery but it just goes to show what a powerful man GEJ is).

Cold water in my house is now everywhere yanfuyanfu, I use it to wash my car, wet my plants and use it to bath but I don't because I can use hot water I boil with my electric boiling ring.

Now I can wear clothes that are well pressed. . .with iron oh not the kind of pressing you do under the mattress.

No more paying N50 to the charging boys by office to charge my battery with desktop

Although it took awhile to get used to sleeping with light. . .I think I am adapting well. Now when someone turns off the light, the instinct to go "Damn Nepa" is slowly abating.

In short. . .UP GEJ, UP PHCN and UP Nigeria!

. . . . This message is Brought to you by the warped mind of a GEJ Sycophant.

byrron: Most commentators here are really dumb. These guys visas remains valid till NOV 2012 hence they haven't commited any crime yet rather they only broke their camp rules and most commentators are already saying craps which is tipical of most educated illitrates here in nairaland and Nigeria as a whole who tends to be reactive in almost every issue without allowing reasoning to prevail.
They were seen training meaning they felt there was no need idealing away in the games village since they have crashed out of the olympics hence they needed to make themselves usefull with the few months left in their visas before returning back to cameroon and by so doing they wount be a burden to the cameroonian goverment anymore in terms of daily upkeep.
As far as I'm concerned they only violated a moral obligation by leaving camp unannounced and not a legal issue since their visas are still valid.
When their visas expires and they are no were to be found then most of u watery brains can nw ve the floor to exhibit ur endemic stupidity in terms of comments untill then u can spare us this folly called comments.

Dimples 316: Yes I think you are okay because I can relate to some of the issues you mentioned on friendships, anger and vindictiveness.

I didn't have a lot of friends in school,sometimes I unconsciously sabotaged good friendships by being too quick to cut people out of my life because they offended me, or I didn't like their lifestyle etc. But these are issues I have been able to work out and I am still working out as I grow older.

I don't know how old you are but I believe you can and will get better as you age,you don't need to wait till the years roll by before you become better, you can consciously do so now by making the effort to be less critical and acccepting of others, focus on the good things about people not the bad ones. Realize that friendships can be made even out of school there are over a billion people on earth and there is potential for great realtionships.

On anger and vindictiveness: I can tell you first hand that trying to get even or hit back at someone who has hurt you will only cause you more pain. You end up embarrassing or hurting yourself in the process don't even go there. I've had to learn the lesson the hard way three times, if you don't learn it the first time you will surely go through it over and over until you do. I guess that's the reason why the good Lord said vengeance is mine, so learn to take your issues and emotions to Him when you are angry, happy or feeling hateful of someone.

Cece Winanns sang a song about God being a life changer, He really is a life changer you should key into Him and try to build a relationship with Him. Please strive for an honest relationship with God through Christ as against doing church and being religious. I hope this helps in some way

Efemena_xy: @poster.

Nothing is wrong with you. You went into an institution for a purpose, remained on track and stayed focused on your goals. Nothing wrong with that.

Things we work hard for are better enjoyed, than those given to us on a plate, because the true value would never be appreciated. You said yourself that your "friend" had dubious "A" grades. Fine, leave them to it. That's their own cup of tea.

It's rare to find people who can tell right from wrong and who work hard for what they want. You are on the right path. Friends come and go so not to worry. Besides, a true friend would always remain by your side no matter what. Now that's the test of true friendship.

Put your head down, finish your studies and go after your dreams. All will be well.

shushu: one door closes, another one opens.
that you had bad experiences with "so called friends" does not mean you should withdraw from the world.
try again to forgive them so that your heart can be truly free.i will expantiate more on this because that forgiving part isnt easy.first when you wake up and recall any wrongs your friends have done to you, make a conscious effort to think of something good they have done for you,pray about it also as soon as the thought comes, then focus on something else. its hard but eventually, they wont occupy your thoughts anymore and you would have learnt how to forgive faster

This life is full off people that will offend you everyday, but you still have to associate with human beings, so its important not too expect too much from people.
Sometimes its good to learn this early in life.My friend, what your friends have done to you is very small compared to what others have been through with so called friends.
Relax, associate yourself wit more like minded people,guard your heart, forgive faster and move on.life is too short

tamiesa: U DONT NEED SOMEBODY TO TELL U THAT U ARE OK. u are the one who will decide that u are ok, tell ur self that u are ok and then everyone else will call u "ok"
