Pregnant woman dies mid-air aboard Arik Air

A 39-year​-​old pregnant woman was on Friday confirmed dead on board an Arik Air flight from Port Harcourt to Lagos.
The deceased, identified as Ijeoma Nwokedi, was confirmed dead on arrival by the medical personnel at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Domestic Terminal One, Lagos.

A reliable source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that Mrs. Nwokedi was travelling with her husband and a cousin.
The source said the deceased had developed complications mid-air and was attended to by some medical personnel on board the flight.
Arik Air, in a statement by its spokesperson, Ola Adebanji, confirmed the incident.

“A female passenger on board Arik Air’s Port Harcourt-Lagos flight was confirmed dead by medical personnel on arrival this morning at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Domestic Terminal One, Lagos.

“The lady boarded the flight from Port Harcourt in company of her husband and cousin. The cause of death is yet to be ascertained,” the statement said. NAN recalls that another unidentified female passenger died on Thursday in one of the toilets of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport.

interview was on the 9th in lagos. after following this thread for a while, felt i was ready but i prepared my mind for anything. this my first time applying for a visa and all.

i picked the 10'o clock got there late cos i forgot my passport by the time i got back to the embassy i was panicking, nobody prepared me for that one. LOL. i didnt get to be interviewed till about 1, panic feeling was so heightened cos the line i was on the man rejected the two applications right before mine.
Him: your passport please

Wow! Congrats, u re so lucky.
me: hands it over
Him: why are you going to the US?
me: childbirth
Him:where in the US are you going to?
Me: Dallas.... i mean Houston.
Him: have you talked to any doctor?
me: yes, hands him that general oakbend letter they send when you make inquiries
Him: what do you do?
me: bla bla
Him: are you married?
Me: yes
Him: what does your husband do?
Me: bla bla
Him: why the US (again)
me: i want the best
Him: have you traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: yes, Ghana and republic of Benin before he could ask.

Him: you applied from Port Harcourt, your visa would be ready in 3 days and would be sent to this address, *circles address on the paper*
Me: is that all?
i was very confused because i expected more questions, nothing about my finances, nothing about who i intend to stay with, didnt ask for evidence of anything, didnt ask how much i have budgeted. nothing.. i quickly collected my paper and RAN out of the hall before the man would change his mind. Na so o

Hi Mamas in the house. I just want to pray for you ALL, what the Lord has started with you He will surely complete in Jesus name. Do not be afraid, It will be well... I am officially retired from the missionary journey as my first daughter turns 18 in a few days and the other 3 going strong.... seriously Mums trust in the Lord with all your hearts, you will go and return safely with your bundle of joy by the special grace of God.

Stay blessed.
