Sunday the 3rd of June is a day i will never forget in a hurry. If I said i was not touched by the Dana Air disaster i will be a very big liar. It was very devastating to say the least. But Nigerians as usual will say its up to God, yet i sit still and wonder if all those people where actually meant to die that way. This is a situation that would have been averted but once again this is Nigeria a place where so many things is taken for granted where people expect God to come down and do all their work.
Last month i flew Dana Air from Abuja to Lagos and i must say it was a horrific experience for me and even my friends, the aircraft was leaking water while on air and gosh! before we landed it was so scary the aircraft was seriously shaking and making thunderous noise that i thought that was the end of all of us but thanks to God we landed safely and i told myself i will never board a Dana flight ever in my life.
And on sunday the 3rd of June in the afternoon i received this broadcast on my bbm saying a Dana plane just crashed, i was not surprised but felt deep pity and sympathy for those affected. 150 passengers all died plus some people whom the plane crashed into, injured people and people who's houses and properties turned into debris it was an incredible accident, once again lives and properties lost and destroyed.
Like i stated earlier that this crash could have been averted if and if all checks and balances was made, an aircraft is not one to be managed, it should be properly maintained and seriously if its not fit then it should be grounded. I figure the Dana management knew the aircraft was not sound enough but yet kept on because of a few millions they want to make now where did the millions take them??? ground zero they succeeded in causing so much havoc. The weather was not bad for it to have caused the havoc even the CCN weather forecast pointed it out, it was clearly a bad aircraft.
So many people lost their lives, young and promising even the old and yet aspiring, so many dreams and talents lost, hopes gone down, some family lineage wiped out completely, this is absolute calamity. I lost a dear friend Ikpoki Obiola, he was someone i was getting to know , someone with so much dreams, did he know he was going to die that day? nah! nothing in the world prepared him for the tragedy he faced and all the others. I was so pained i only wished i could turn back the hands of time or own a time machine that could go back in time and alter certain events. I cant even begin to imagine what he's family and other close friends would have to go through because of he's demise and not just that he died its the way he died, gross!! And the same goes for every one who died that faithful day in the crash.
I only hope that the Nigerian Govt will do something about the way things are being managed, I hope that the Dana management will be brought to book and the rescue operations in Nigeria should wake up, it took 20 minutes before the plane exploded, am thinking would it not have been possible for some people to have been rescued or some precautionary measures taken so the explosion wont be that severe?
Sad sad sad tale indeed, my heart still bleeds, i wish i can bring back my friend Obiola, i wish i can bring back Pastor Akin (House on The Rock Abuja), Mr Levi Ajuonima, Ehime Aikhomu, and so many others who lost their lives that faithful day. Above all my deepest sympathy goes to the families of the deceased, may the Lord grant them the fortitude to bear their loss.
sorry was actually meant to type CNN not CCN
