One year later, we remember the victims of the Dana Air crash

Today is exactly one year we lost 153 passengers on board the ill fated Dana airplane. There's a one year memorial service in honour of the victims going on right now at the Iju/Ishaga memorial Arcade. Families of the victims, Lagos State government officials, including governor Babatunde Fashola and his wife are at the memorial service. You can read the live updates on Telegraphng.com

    so sad....saw some passengers and the flight that faithful Sunday before leaving Abj to Lagos on-board Aero....to me i think is not enough to remember today but very important to compensate and pay ALL the affected families that which was agreed because it will be so sad to them remembering that they lost their loved ones exactly a year today and Dana is yet to pay them...may their souls continue to rest in the Lord.Amen

    Sad sad sad, I still remember Pastor Akin Olumodeji of House on the Rock, looking at his picture today, my heart bleeds. Yet we hear some families are yet to be compensated. Cause of crash still verge. God rest their souls and give the families the grace to go on.

    Rest Pastor Akin Olumodeji., our Pastor of many colors. I played Dekunle Fuji' #MoLikeJesuGan on my show today and pictured you dancing at the after party of your son's dedication. Rest on dear brother.
    Please if you are in Abuja join House on the Rock today, at 5.30 pm in a memorial service at the Citadel, close to the city gate. God bless

    This is in response to the fool prince jobless .. Negligence is not a mistake that is why it is punitive by law. If ten of your family members died in a plane crash due to negligence, I promise u will think twice before u make such comment. The airline was negligent, they flew a defective plane,and pls inform yourself before making such callous comments. Because the victims still have grieving families
