Why is it that in this part of the worl politicians dont know when to throw the towel in. After an incident like this i think the aviation minister should resign since he became the minister of aviation we have lost so many. Let him take a bold step and step down. that will be the begining of men of honour in our great country. Or what do you guys think

Nonsense, see that is why we always disagree. why don't you ask the president vice president, and all ministers to resign as well, Instead of us as Nigeria to look for the root cause of the problem, now its a pointing finfer and blaming game. What is wrong with proper investigation? identification of the problems and lasting measures and resolution, won't that be logical? if the minister resign, and the problem is not fix, will the next minister guarantee smooth operations?

That is not why we always diagree, the reason is simple you always misunderstood me. Since the head is currupt let him the aviation minster resign to save his own image if he has any. Presently with all the crashes i think he has none.

DUDE can you even spell corruption? how do you know he is corrupt beside what you read in the paper, misinformation is a serious decease, people see one story on line and digest it to be something else. damn. well what do you know you still a kid, hang tight,

Ok sir but still he should resign

WHY SHOULD HE? IS IT HIS FAULT?
SHARAP
NONSENSE

It could very well be his fault.
But like Odeku said proper investigation must take place.

Again this will take time and resources. The quick fix would be to just get rid of him
It would be like in any standard business.

If business fails, you autamatically look to the CEO or President. Is this right ? You be the Judge
There is an onus of responsibility that such people like ministers are supposed to take.

This is not time to change leadership, we have big problems waiting us, ELECTION is near and that should be the primary focus as of now, either way they are all living after the election.

We have Problems in The AVIATION sector that need to be handled now!
How many more planes will have to crash before we re-examine our flight issues that we have today?

I have said it on some similar thread and on other related topics-NOTHING WORKS IN NIGERIA,apart from NAFDAC and EFCC.In a sane country the aviation minister would have resigned and tendered his apologies to the family of those slaughtered and the nation. But, alas even after the purpoted cleansing of the aviation ministry following the Bellview crash at Lisa what happened?ADC and other 'molue' airline operators must be sanctioned. Destinies are being terminated abruptly

What really puzzles me about Borishade is the way he put the blame on the pilot less than 24 hours of the plane incident. That action of his was really short sighted.

U guys r sayin the crash is not his fault, Yes i agree, He isnt the one pilotin the plane,

But why is rootin all blames on the dead pilot?I think for that alone, he should resign,

Why didnt he wait for full investigation before blamin the crash on the dead pilot,


Has anyone read the Guardian newspaper of today, It says from a tape transcript of Flight ADK 054 crash indicated the pilot was cleared to fly,

this is what a nation gets when you elect Baboons and knock heads as leaders, the crew survivor ( Mr. Peter Onuka)also confirmed the pilot was given the go ahead to fly,



He should resign simple,

Sign the petition online. We'll send it to the media.

Borishade should go NOW: http://www.petitiononline.com/borisha/petition.html

his resignation is a temporary solution, The root cause of the problem has not been identified, and you can not fix a problem without identifying the cause. There has to be proper investigation, sanction and even prosecution of all culprits

go online and read the todays guardian news paper and you will see that the control tower told the pilot the he shouold fly.

And now the minister came openly on national television to pour the blame on the dead man. Abba what does he takes nigerians for, a fool or what.and to think of it we dont have any rader system in majority of our airport so how would you know when the weather condition is not safe for flying.

Pilots today on MBI television asked the minister to resign and openly condemed him for lying to nigerians that our radar system are working when they are not.

So what would you say to that is until his own son dies on a plane crash that he would step down.

BUSHFELLOW no radar system working is that the ministers fault or the Federal government? when the big boys fight the little man na him dey get the bullet, lets go way back to the root cause of this malfunction airports. Blame all the ex aviation ministers and ex presidents, they should all be ashamed and not just one man. haba

but odeku, don't you think it was inappropriate for Borishade to blame the incident on the pilot less than 24 hours of the plane crash ?

TRUE, but I don't know the facts to that statement beside what i've read up till date, well we will see in due time what action the FED will take

Quote:
The Minister of Aviation, Dr. Babalola Borisade, on Wednesday said the calls for his resignation by some senators and critics were uncalled for.

The calls followed Sunday’s crash of ADC Flight 053 shortly after take-off at the Nnamdi Azikwue International Airport Abuja.

But while fielding questions from journalists shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, Borisade argued that since he lacked “spiritual power,” it was wrong for people to blame him for the spate of air crashes that had occurred since his assumption of office as the Minister of Aviation. (---)

He, however, said that he would have resigned if the possession of divine power was the requirement to function as the Minister of Aviation.

He said, ”The calls for my resignation are based on the fact that people thought I should have spiritual or divine power, which I don‘t have.

“And if divine power belongs to God, and if they expect me to have divine power, it is not possible for me to have it.

”And if that is what they need an aviation minister to have, then, I have no objections. I will just leave. I know I don‘t have divine power. I am not rejecting their advice to resign.

“I have told you that the condition under which they are making this call is that they are looking for somebody who has divine power which I don‘t have. And if that is the only quality required for being an aviation minister, I don‘t qualify to be there.”

When told that records showed that the nation had recorded most crashes during his tenure, he responded, ”You can begin to extend that argument that during the tenure of Mr. President, we have had x number of air crashes . You can begin to go on and on.”

Borisade maintained that the ministry had done its best to make the airspace safe.

I will only add that Borishade is not an honourable man!

Let Borishade Go NOW

The minister should be sued to court for misrepresentation of facts by the management of ADC.

not to worry the man has been remove some hours ago, he has been redeployed to culture ministry

when you remove an education minister and place him in the aviation industry, the flying coffins is what you get. now he had been redeployed to the ministry of culture. i wonder what our culture will look like by the time he is through.

otokx dude you can't just sue someone by what they say, which court or judge will allow that nonsence?

would you resign if it was you? nigerians love power and money!

The minister has been replaced redeployed.

Yes replaced with a novice? is the new minister an expert in aviation? OBJ sometimes shock me

Femi Fani-Kayode is a very intelligent young man and he will give us nothing but the best. The cat knows what's up. Worry not, folk; he will perform.

ODEKU: what's your problem? Are upset because OBJ did not select the inspector general of police?

You need to calm down and understand that this position is a serious one and it's not for sale.

SEE and when I start calling you out your name you get upset? why can't you just speak and stop drinking BRUKUTU sometime. All I am asking is what is FANI kayode's background? and trust me the Inspector general will not want to be a minister, that will be degrading but you wont understand, dan iska

What could be more degrading than the position of head of the "SHOW ME YOUR PATIKULAS FOLKS"?

well let me respond to that? A DICTATOR GENERAL a scum bag that stole from Nigeria and still don't see the adverse of his corruption regime. a dribbler that is so entangle in himself and thinks money can buy him power, and that all relate to one man IBB

DUDE boy I keep telling you stop f**king with me, I bring the HEAT

WE DON'T WANT THE INFILTRATOR
