The pilot then explained to the passengers that the development was caused by the fact that the ground power could not ignite the engine, but three different ones were brought and the aircraft engine still failed to start.
The passengers panicked, got off the plane and demanded a refund of their fare, which they got back after the management of the airline apologised for the situation.
Typical of nigerian flights. It is either delays today, cancelled flights tomorrow, theft of luggages, or poor airconditionins system. the woes are just too many. - KC

Naija,I hail o
D plane no wan go nw haba,na by force ni.....
ReplyDeleteLWTMB Aah! It's better it refused to start than saying it refused to stop oh! We might have been observing some minutes of silence, thank God for them.
ReplyDeleteLol,u̶̲̥̅̊ re funny
DeleteNah today?! Hee don tey!!!!mtchweeeeee
ReplyDeleteOmo na wa oh..na so plane go finally start con blow up for air..them suppose fire the people for aviation..national embarassment
ReplyDeletePraise God it didn't start. The nation & many families would have been mourning by now because na half way d engine for quench come kill everybody. Chineke thank Sir.
ReplyDeleteI thnk dey should be grateful really. Seems like God's intervention. But d airline shld really compensate dem....say schedule anoda flight 4 dem l8r dat day,F.O.C!
ReplyDeletethe ground power could not start the engines? huh? #megaconfused someone somewhere got the facts so absurdly wrong or the pilot just successfully washed all of una. Geez! Planes dont require any bloody external source to start them. Try again mof!
ReplyDeleteOgbeni who eva u r,i no for a fact dt airplane somtimes nid an external source of power.its called an APU....auxilliary powering unit....google it up.hw do i no?cos i work in d aviation industry moron.take dt.
DeleteThis same air nigeria plane left for lagos to abuja on saturday nyt,due to the heavy wind nd rain in abuja,we cudnt land,we ended up spending extra 45 minutes on air,everybody on d flight was scared to death,cos d plane was really shaking,we thankGod sha.
ReplyDeleteHKE get out of here with your backward mentality. It's no darn sign...it's operational /mechanical fault which is not uncommon unless you are operating a brand new plane. Everything is Gods intervention....stop excusing nonsense. The airline ought to ave a contingency plan for each scheduled flight just in the event that things like this happen. While we r thanking God lets not forget to condemn the stupid airline whse solution to such eventuality is a refund. That's crap and we need to learn to say no to bulkshit service. That happens in the US all the time but guess what? There is a backup plan that ensures passengers are not left stranded cos their schedules will be screwed up....and cn result in a softly lawsuit when people miss business del meetings, job interviews, doctors appt etc
ReplyDeleteSo blabber mouth,wen dy ask for dia mony,d airline shld stil withhold it abi?d pax shldnt get dia mony n try n get anoda airline bound for dia destination?.....ani ode ni e.shut up if u aint got somtin sensible to say

ReplyDeleteTHAT IS GOD ALMIGHTY AT WORK AND NOTHING ELSE. PRAISE HIM!!!
ReplyDeleteNigerians!!! Dem say na God no let the engine start!!! hahahahahaha. Isn't the engine supposed to be idling while the passengers board? were they saving fuel? God has absolutely nothing to do with it. Once we get the concept of "Taking responsibility" in Nigeria, we will move ahead. Instead of investigating the cause, they are blaming God.
ReplyDelete№t blaming God, thanking Him! And u could deride others all you want, fact remains that God can and does use situations like that to stop a worse situation from happening
DeleteGod @work here....what would have happened 2 the passengers if dat plane stopped half way on air....they shud all go and do thanksgiving it is obviously not their tym 2die
ReplyDeleteThank God e nor Start.
ReplyDeletePoor maintainance culture and using Tokunbo planes won't finish the Aviation Sector.
ReplyDelete*logs in*
ReplyDeleteRUBBISH!!! DEM FOR PUSH THE PLANE TO START NA...ONLY IN NAIJA *long hiss*

ReplyDeleteShuo! Wetin the passengers dey wait for? Oya put hand push the thing jo. Lol
ReplyDeleteThank God for their lives cuz,if that plane was airborne,a crash would have happened. They should be thankful.
ReplyDeleteThey should jump start it or push it...lol
ReplyDeleteoya, dem for begin dey push am
ReplyDeleteoya, dem for begin dey push
ReplyDeleteJimoh Ibrahim in action...somebody should collect this airline from this asshole, why the hell did they sell it to him? something must be done fast b4 he kills a hundred ppl. He wrecked nicon insurance now he wants to kill nigerians
ReplyDeleteGOD DID THAT FOR A REASON...THANK U LORD FOR SAVING LIVES
ReplyDeleteCan't believe we are till praising God when it obvious some poeple neglected their responsibility ...which s to provide a well inspected fully functioning aircraft to meet their service commitment to those passengers. Thank Go abacha looted the treasury...otherwise someone else would have...that's God at wok too. Lmao....dumb ass Nigerians wonder hy that country will never move forward....
ReplyDeleteChigurl says
ReplyDelete....and guess wat, they'l repair that plane and still fly it, risking lives of innocent pple, *smh*
Thank God e no gree start O!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda a beg brush up on your grammar "plane refuses to start" huh? Meaning what? Plane was asked to start but declined? Please remember that your audience includes people outside of Naija. I live in England and have introduced my colleagues (not of Naija origin) at work to your blog. Imagine my embarrassment when asked to explain your chose of word.
ReplyDeleteAll u guys shouting 'only in Naija', you obviously do №t have much travel experience...only prob is see with †ђξ situation is †ђξ airline №t providing another liner to take its paengers
ReplyDeleteWhile we are thankful that it wasn't worse, this is EXACTLY how the people responsible for this rubbish want you to react. You'll be so busy thanking God that you'll forget to tell them they shouldn't be using Methuselah's planes to fly *hiss* God is warning us ooo. The next time we may not be so lucky.
ReplyDeletethank God e no off fo road
ReplyDeleteThis very incident occured when I was flying from Lagos - Ph. There was a commotion in the plane because some Ibo business man claimed he had business class tickets and the captain said he didn't. Captain said he won't fly unless dude goes back to economy. After all the comotion, plane pulled backwards to the run way and just died there. It had to be pulled back to where it docked. All passengers thanked God for the argument with the pilot and Ibo dude. Since then been very very skeptical of Air Nigeria. I recorded the plane # sef.
ReplyDeleteIf you only knew what was going on internally you should be thanking God for his divine intervention and if you're smart let that be a warning to the wise.
ReplyDeletePlane don turn to kabu-kabu for Naija!
ReplyDeletein my opinion,divine providence was at work to save innocent passengers from the effect of human negligence but why did they not beg the passengers to come down and help them push? *Laughing in efik*
It happened to me with emirates. Going to dubai from ghhhana,after three hours trying to fix the problem,we were lodged into an hotel and the. Next day we left on d same flight.it happens everywhere.let's not be too critical of naija.we need to go to other countries too
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahaha..plane refuse to start.. E dey use NEPA light abi Generator?? We don suffer..
