Saudi-bound plane makes emergency landing in Sokoto as tyres explode mid-air

A Saudi bound Kabo Air plane carrying 400 passengers from Kano made an emergency landing at the Sir Abubakar III International Airport in Sokoto early today Saturday October 5th.

The Boeing 747 jumbo jet which left Kano on Friday en route to Saudi Arabia had to divert to Sokoto after several of its tyres exploded immediately after it took off the Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano. All the passengers aboard the airline have been evacuated from the plane and lodged in a hotel in the ancient city. (Sahara Reporters)

When I was a kid my parents will always tell me that nigeria will get better sum day,(e go beta) but is it like dis? With the bombing, shooting and looting?

    The earlier we started thinking in terms of first principles, in terms of fundamental, objective causes, the better for us all...
    The earlier we started engaging thinkers as leaders in all facets of our national life, the better for Naija and the country's aviation sector...
    Nigeria has sacrifice merit on the alter of tribalism, nepotism, favoritism, clientelism and mediocrity...
    Nothing else is killing Naija and its aviation sector!
