Keyamo don carry em useless propaganda he used during Buhari regime enter Tinubu regime. We're in for a long ride, brace up peomple.

why were they lying in the first place,

Empty head minister,

Planes are equipped with GPS and pilots input their routes/destination to the gps which draws a line on a map, and they follow that line to their destination. If your plane doesn't have GPS, then a tablet or even your phone can run an app that does about the same thing, at least for visual flight rules….you don’t have to be a Nigerian to fly an airplane in Nigeria you empty head barrister, We have Control towers that communicate and monitor flight with radio assistance, and onboard inertial reference systems…
What the hell is a fvcking lawyer doing in the aviation ministry?? this country eeh!!

aylipple:
Whoever at United Nigeria Airlines that released the statement blaming bad weather in Abuja for the flight diversion to Asaba deserves a sack!

I mean, they could've spinned a more believable lie, after all, what happened isn't new in aviation circles as even the most advanced countries have had similar experiences.

Anyways, this is an eye-opener just as the minister disclosed; hopefully, lessons have been learnt for future purposes.

My brother, our appointments here is not for you to function... It's for compensation.

Whether you're skilled in that area or not, provided you played a role to bring the president to power, you automatically qualify to become a minister.

Can't you see that a journalist is the minister or Solid Minerals... In a country with thousands of Geoscience Professionals

Let's be honest assuming that journalist were your relation or someone from your kindred you would not have an issue with him occupying that portfolio, even if her were made minister of health you would applaud it.

The hypocrisy of Nigerians stinks to high heavens!!!

Obierika:
What if they had mistakenly landed the plane in Sambisa forest

Once read a book on causes of air crashes and the writer spoke about what happened here can't remember the name of the book again...

See what this one is saying... airplanes collide mid air?
Or is it because of cheap data y'all just come and comment anything?

It's obvious the pilot mistook Asaba for Abuja and that was where they flew to from the very beginning..

Lanretoye:
They are lucky they went to asaba and not hell.

-United Nigeria Airline: "Flight diverted to Abuja because of bad weather."

-NCAA/FMOA/Aviation Minister: "United Nigeria pilots weren’t familiar with Nigerian terrain"

Hear the senseless thing this fool is saying. This is what happens when you have a charge and bail lawyer heading a sensitive sector like aviation.

And no one have been relieved of his or her appointment nor the operating license of this irresponsible airline withdrawn? Playing with human lives while downplaying same for stupid reasons? Chai

OChimex:


Is this Keyamo an idiot or something?

Plane no be car naa, the plane carry something wry go suppose direct the pilot where to go.
They must have as a result of incompetence giving the pilot wrong destination or they are just plain idiots

Obierika:


Let's pretend you are the PRO of the airline, oya give us a more believeable excuse/lie to cover for the error

...we're waiting

[/b]This is the most shameful excuse that even an IDIOT will not offer at any governmental level!

In any (open) space: air, sea and even desert or thick forest (as per military and game seakers), vectors are determined by coordinates (even down to their minutes and seconds), and not by terrain associations. So, the only plausible excuse that would warrant the use of terrain association is when/if the compass has FAILED...

...and that is a SUPER DANGEROUS situation necessitating INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION!
