The Death Trap Scourge: A Traveler's Nightmare Part 2.



Some days back, reports indicating the inferno that raged the Muritala Mohammed International Airport were featured mainstream on both the electronic and print media all over the country and beyond. A section of the number one Nigerian airport situated in Lagos, was engulfed in flames after an electric spark flickered and burst into flame. The accident was said to have been triggered as a result of welders who were working in the vicinity that was also being renovated at the time of the fire.

The Death Trap Scourge: A Traveler's Worst Nightmare Part 1.



It's been a really sad past few days for Nigeria and Nigerians in general. We received with great shock the passing of the late Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State. He was in Bayelsa State to attend the burial of the father of President Goodluck Jonathan’s aide, Oronto Douglas, in Okoroba. Upon his departure, the Naval helicopter he traveled in crashed. He was accompanied by the ex-National Security Adviser, Gen. Oweye Andrew Azazi rtd and four others. (Yakowa’s Special Adviser, Dauda Tsoho; Azazi’s bodyguard, Warrant Officer Mohammed Kamal and two Naval pilots, Commander Murtala Mohammed Daba and Lt. Adeyemi Sowole.)
