Our leaders,pls don't kill us all in the names of plane crash,boko haram,road traffic accidents due to bad roads and death from minor illnesses due to inadequate hospital facilities.Take a que from other countries .Settle into government and think of how to better our lives instead of thoughts of succeeding yourself in power.

    With joy in my heart so heavy that my fingers shake as though I had parkinsons do I type these words. My best friend with whom I've shared every childhood,teenage and adult memories was aboard that plane. He and I often have this endless debate about the existence of God,I'm atheist by the way but I think he finally convinved me there's a God cos only a supreme being could have saved him. I probably would have died too if my 'Frankie' went away. I'm presently at the hospital where 'Frankie' and other surviving victims are receiving medical attention,I even missed my nephew's birthday party to fly all the way to SF....and to the deceased,may their souls rest in peace. And Linda Ikegi,thumbs up for the good work!

Naija, naija, naija, how many times did I call you? You need to LEARN! It is not that planes dont crash even in the most developed of countries but the reduction of casualties that matter!

    Linda, you need to be careful when reporting. When you are reporting deaths, you are never supposed to use the word 'only'. It is never 'only' one death because each life is priceless. Check reports from the likes of CNN, BBC and so on to see what I mean. I know you meant well.
