We were forced to fly the faulty plane - Dana Air official


An official of Dana Airlines who called into Channels Television anonymously confirmed to the station that the ill-fated Dana plane had persistent history of faults with its hydraulics in recent times and it was not supposed to have flown. She said the plane was faulty after it left Lagos and stopped in Calabar. She alleged that the Indian owners of the airline threw caution to the wind and insisted that the plane must fly in a bid to maximise profit, thereby sending the plane over to Abuja to pick passengers, when it should have being returned to Lagos for further repair. Listen to her above...

Omg!! Indians are so greedy. After paying a very huge compensation which i know the family of the victims will sue their asses for, The fed govt should seize their license as well. Using human beings for their selfish gain aint cool.

Nigerian people are still the cause of this accident because even after the owners said the plane must fly, it would still have to be checked on ground at the airport, officials would have been paid to look the other when matter concerning that plane arises.

i dont understand how a plane that has been giving issues was not brought to the attention of someone capable of grounding it.

This is man slaughter not accidental or error of ommission or commission.

Ehennn....sebi I said INDIANS MUST GO! Contacts on my  were attacking me. These Indians are stingy cheap skates. The cut corners more than Nigerians. I pray the blood and innocent souls of all those babies on board will torment them until the confess their crimes to Nigerians

Waoo.. So they killed this people cos of negligence and greed.stupid people

The management of that aircraft and other people involved should be held accountable for their actions. If its here in the US they will look them up for life and throw away the keys. I know that can never make up for all the lives lost but anything is better than nothing.

Miss Bee said...

This is appalling to say the least. This shows how much value we have over human beings and how much we are willing to go to save lives as opposed to satisfying self interests. Now that the lives of 152 people have been lost, does that compare to the amount of money that you gained per head from the plane ticket? No I don't think so.

Sometimes, I am like western people like to over do but I am impressed as to how they value lives. They would try their best and exhaust all their options before they make a conclusion. It hurts more in this situation because lives could have been saved. How can you have a fire department with no water? How can you insist on flying a plane putting innocent lives of people at risk claiming to wanting to make profit and yet you sit in the comfort of your home knowing at the back of your mind the consequences of the decision you made which could turn out negative.

The level of greed in the country is something else. Later someone would say it was their time. I think some deaths can be avoided e.g. this one that happened. The man that lost his wife and beautiful kids, or the one that went home to celebrate with friends at a wedding not knowing her fate. I don't blame the people. If the government has an attitude of me myself and I, what do you expect the people to do. Run and die for the country? Hell no... Everyone has that mentality as well because of the way the country is run. Everyone is looking for what will satisfy them, how much they can get without thinking that their actions might have a negative consequence on those around them.

I don't know if there is hope for our country, it is sad how people are taken for granted. Their focus is on frivolous things and the most important ones are taken for granted. GEJ is changing Unilag into Maulag honouring someone that has died, yet people are loosing their lives everyday. If its not book haram, its plane crash, or a tanker crashing on the highway. I am highly irritated and disgusted at the example these leaders are setting. May God help Nigeria.

I am weeping for my country.. So a foreigner( from a 3rd world country) can control and inforce bad policies... And we the owners of this country can't do nothing abt it. A Nigerian investor will not dare put indian(s)in jeopardy if it were the other way round.
But of course they use us how ever they like cos we re complex we see the white man as superior so wht ever he says STANDS!!!
Shame on the lawlessness of this country , and yes shame on lack of regulatory body!! Shame on bad Leadership...

Oga o!!..there I was during my last trip to 9ja..had to go see my people in Abuja...glad I kept my cool throughout the 5-6 hour delay..God does have a reason..
Reports are abound about Pre-Existing Safety issues when Dana bought the Airlines..
We should start a petition to get rid of Dana and get some of compensation to the victims..breadwinners..whole generations wiped out..
I never trust Indian dem business..remember back in the day in the UK..we bought baked beans..opened it..was all mouldy..we checked the dates..was almost 2 years old..their business model is get it cheap and old..and market it to get a fortune!!

I watched that stuff on Channels too. as sore as we all feel, we shouldn't give in to unconfirmed rumours. For all we know, the so called anonymous Dana staff could have been any Ada, Suliat or Hauwa. It goes both ways, Dana can sue Channels tv on the long run if that caller is not produced..but right now, tempers are high so lets not go into that just yet. RIP Prof Onwuliri...an intellectual guru and former vc of Futo as well as Uche Ulasi, a Dana flight attendant and ex student of FGGC Owerri:(

OMG...this dana management must pay for this wickedness, they basically sent people to die knowing fully well that the aircraft was faulty...may God neva forgive them for this atrocity...they are indeed murderers...RIP to all the victims, this is indeed a sad time for us all.

Chikaka said...

I'm hearing of more people i know who died. Too shocking. The thing now is that Dana Air is dead. It will certainly go the way of Sosoliso and Bell View. The authorities must now take the aftermath seriously and prosecute the owners.

I've been reading posts all over the place; a guy said his wife resigned recently due to safety concerns. She lost 4 of her best friends on the plane.

Someone else said he was on the same plane from Uyo on Friday and the front doors couldn't open so they all had to exit via the back.

This same plane had hydraulics failure a few weeks ago and they didn't repair it, they just decided to fly the coffins and now families are grieving. They have blood on their hands.

Y.Tee said...

OMG!!! So over 157 lives were lost "in a bid to maximise profit"????? May the person that authorised the flying of that aircraft not find peace forever IJN. I hope they get to the root of this and persecute the people at fault. Imagine Indians being the cause of this national disaster!!. I do not blame them tho, i blame the greedy Nigerian pigs that ought to confirm the conditions of those aircraft but turn their faces aside after been bribed. May God judge them accordingly#iweepformycountry.

Nigerians are still to blame for the crash because even though the owners wanted the plane to fly. It would have probably gone through some sort of check when it was still on ground.

Nigerian officials who would have probably collected money and looked the other way when matters of the ill fated flight arises.

Is it possible for a plane which has given so much distress,issues and complications be over looked time without number to be 'repaired' and allowed to fly.

Nigerian officers with Dana who knew of the situation could have easily reported to the appropriate authorities to endure that the plane was grounded.

This is not accidental, or due to errors of omission or commission. but outright MANSLAUGHTER.

From the owners to the pilots to technicians and even crew members who had at least an inkling that the plane was not fit to fight could have stopped the disaster waiting to happen.

Odi mma! If I don't see this crash investigated, followed by prosecution and conviction, or the possible grounding of Dana Air, I would expect the families of the deceased to sue the company operating this airline as well as the Aviation ministry.

WHO ARE THE QUACKS EVEN FIXING THIS AIRPLANE IN THE FIRST PLACE?? GREED GREED GREED GREED GREED WILL BE THE NEMESIS OF NIGERIANS!!!!!!

Mojirayo said...

Why call and report to Channels now, why didn't you make a pragmatic move in reporting the first hand information you had prior to this. If only you had taken such initiative that would have steered a viral awareness, thereby compelling and detering the airline from embarking on such a trip because their evil greed would have been exposed through shame. Sometimes we blame the govt, although without gain saying they are the root of the problem. Nonetheless, we have our part to play as citizens when we witness situations such as these and donor report it first hand without recourse. I'm too hurt don't even know what else to say.
Once again to all the souls on Dana Air, to all the souls Lost in the Bauch Bomb Blast May God rest your souls.

Seems to be medicine after death! The whistle blower waited for innocent people to die before growing the 'liver' to be anonymous on tv??? So sad! Meanwhile, this appears to be murder carried out by Dana's management if her account is true. The mass murderers should face immediate justice.

Seriously. I have never seen a country like ours were foreigners ride roughshod over indigenes.

These Indians. Hmmmnnnnn, we've yet to hear the last of and from their 'wickedness in high places'.

It's only in Nigeria were foreigners compete with locals for mundane retail businesses as the Chinese and Indians do.

If you go to some of our major markets even Alaba, some of them are now renting shops for kobo kobo businessed.

The worst are these Indians who treat our people like fart and is not as if they are really any better than us, them and their garlic odorized bodies.

Annoyingly, they are likely to get away with this. Do you guys know that most times one Indian uses his one visa to bring in illegally as many as 20 of his kins?

Yet our so called authorities look the other way eh? Kai, people, we don suffer for this obodo Nigeria just because our ogboni possessed rulers dey corrupt. See as life just snuff out of 153 persons and still counting.

Thunder fire all of such Nigerians sworn to evil and wickedness against their own even to your 100th generation.

Now, they are coming out with information that could have saved lives.

What did u want the poor whistke blower to do?? Chain himself to the chain and prevent it from flying?? Am sure the guy is dying of guilt that's y he came forward...the airline is 100% to blame..they also knew the state of the plane and that didn't stop them from flying.greedy pigs.

I hate when people start acting like hypocrites . Let the right thing be done, let the right thing be said.
No body knows the spiritual standing of the people that were on the plane. Imagine your sister, brother, wife children dieing without recognition and someone is come ending about blame game. Don't get it twisted if we throw caution in the wind we will get to heaven before our time. Please I hope they get arrested for what they have done, yes 152 people died but in truth a lot more people have died with this grief that could have been averted.

Anonymous said...

And there is no employee protection in this country. If this lady reported. Chances are that the same DNA would bribe the officials in charge of checking these things and she would most likely be sacked. Please they should start making arrests from the engineer that checked the plane. To the management of DNA. Let's try to make logical comments...

i can understand running a business is mostly about taking risks, but then taking a risk with human lives??? LIVES O! not life> Dear Dana Management, that aint fair.

The owners of Dana are making more than enough money with their car business and other ventures, why did they have to cut corners with something so sensitive. They have billions and these billions should be redistributed to the families. After all they have abused and abused this country and its citizens for decades now.

Miss bee, my sister, u hit the nail right on it's head. What level of accountability will The relevant responsible parties have. I think the rule of law shd apply and bring justice to those affected. A case for the bereaved where 1. Dana Airline management shd be tried in court and found guilty of manslaughter criminally and gross negligence tortiously. Damages shd be awarded in the event of a guilty verdict for victims' family. No Amt of compensation is equal to the loss of precious lives, but perhaps this sort of litigation could hinder irresponsible airline owners and also deter any more negligable acts.
2. There shd be a reshuffling or re organisation of the regulatory body: the CAA shd implement stricter rules to control safety in air travel.
3. Airline owners need to show up to date airline
maintenance before operating for the public users.

Indians and Chinese are the worse to do business with. When i talk there go say racism. See stupid fashola, came to Toronto and bought a bunch of trains that are old and very bad. Those trains are always breaking down, there hardly work. Toronto had to replace them and now i heard that there are in Lagos, going to be used. Your leaders are the once that use you as genuine pig not the Chinese and Indians. The build that the British built is still holding abi, lets give the bridge Chinese people build 10 years, it will collapse.

I concur.Nigerian govt offers human life at a pittance so you can't expect foreigners to pay a premium 4 something that has been so cheapened.Demuren applauded a pilot that almost crash landed d same plane at MM2 runway on the 11th of may without authorising that due diligence be carried out on same plane b4 subsequent flights.I think Stella Oduah(with her crocodile tears n diamond encrusted jewellery),Harold Demuren and all others culpable 4 negligence shd be fired and jailed.

Look Dana can't do shit to Channels, cos everyone knws abt this particularly aircraft. It has been bad for a while now, my frd was in it from Uyo-abj-lagos 3 wks ago when it almost crashlanded. She said the ac in the aircraft didn't work thru out the flight, 2 lady suffocated, they brought an oxygen cylinder to use on which refused to work or the hostess didn't knw how to use. And the face masks didn't drop down as they always annouce. To cut a long story short, God showed himself cos my frd said she stood up crying unto God and praying.

Get rid of these fucking dirty pakis. How come it's only in Nigeria they can do this??? It should never have come to this if the fools whonare meant to protect us did their job. Probably took bribes. They should all be done for manslaughter. Dana air shut down and every single Indian thrown out of the country. Hate those rats.

Now the crying is over Mr. GEJ. Clean your eyes, drop some visine and get to work in revamping the regulations of our aviation industry, putting in place harsher punishment for negligence, and arresting the money hungry indians and nigerians running DANA. Only then will Nigeria respect you. If not you are as good as a puppet.

We need people to speakout more often. If u are scared that you will be sacked, go out and talk. We have lots of avenues now. Go on twitter, start a Facebook page, go anon Linda ikeji. TALK and let people know what's happening.

If you know about things like this, start trending it and the news will spread.

I believe the account of this Dana staff.I worked with Indians for about a decade and,trust me,those guys are the black belt holders in cutting corners and deceiving their customers.They do that colluding with their Nigerian accomplices(usually top mgt. staffs).They boast that with a little bribe,you can have your way in any office in Nigeria.They evade taxes,under-declare consignments etc.Anyway,it is the rat inside the house that invite the one outside that there is food in the house.....

Dana airline should seriously be sued. The families of the passengers should rally together and get Dana air for all they got. Stop blaming the government and take action...

Indians are the most useless pple on earth. They should be sent away from Nigeria. They are wiked in all their organisations owned by them in Nigeria. They use Nigerians like Rag and sacks them at will. I promise to start eliminating anyone I come across by any means. I promise.
