FAAN NAME DANA THE BEST DOMESTIC AIRLINE IN NIGERIA

Despite the air crash that claimed the lives of 163 people four months ago, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) over the weekend named Dana Air as the best domestic carrier for 2011 in Nigeria.  According to FAAN’s Regional General Manager, Mr. Chris Bature the airline was awarded the prize for its good customer relations and prompt payment of dues. Bature stated that the airline was selected because of its outstanding performance and punctuality while Lufthansa Airlines was also selected as the best international carrier for the same period.

Outstanding performance? Really? Neglecting complains from staff and customers about a faulty plane and eventually killing over 160 people is an outstanding performance? Only in Nigeria where money means more than human lives!

QOUTE OF THE DAY: LIYEL IMOKE

The governor of  Cross River State, Liyel Imoke, in a speech during the dinner held by the state for the Super Eagles after their victory over Liberia  puts women in the category of 'delicacies' to be enjoyed by men;

“I had my initial fear for the players the moment the Nigerian Football Federation picked Calabar as venue for the Super Eagles matches. As you are aware, Calabar is home for good food as pounded yam, edikang ikon and afang soup. We also have the best of tourism sites in the country and above all, Calabar is well-known for its beautiful women. My biggest fear initially was that the players might not do well on the pitch after enjoying all those special ‘delicacies.’

"Pregnant singer Rihanna arrived at a Los Angeles recording studio at 2 a.m. wearing sweats and using her Gucci handbag to cover her tummy. So far Rihanna and her camp have been tight-lipped about Rihanna’s bun in the oven — and for good reason. RiRi is reportedly very upset that word leaked about her pregnancy. She had planned to announce her pregnancy as part of the promotion for her new album. But those plans have been scrapped.

Instead, she and the baby’s father, Chris Brown, will make a “special announcement” after the album drops."
