Stanley Pogoi You have said it all
Sobo Oluremi Good morning sir.
Amaka Florence Onyedumekwu It's really a pity. Yes, that was just an accident that could have happened to any other airline. Please let us understand & bear with them.6 hours ago via mobile ·
Olumide Ayo-Vaughan There is a problem, George.
It is not Dana license.
I will elaborate later.
Be safe.
Ajayi Ayinde Sir,our people need more of this kind of enlightenment.thanks for your effort.
Osasu Obayiuwana George Esezobor Uriesi - Zowido, Nigerians have a right to be VERY PISSED off, incensed even, with the way the matter has been handled. Lives that can NEVER BE REPLACED were lost and the families of the victims, some of whom are personally known to you, will live with this disaster for the REST OF THEIR LIVES. Dana, on the other hand, will resume their business and keep on making money. They have no life-long consequences to live with. And by the way, where is the FULL REPORT on the crash? You know the level of respect I have for you. But Nigeria's aviation regulators need to be VERY HUMBLE before Nigerians on this matter.6 hours ago · · 3
Debola Albert Bros i dont agree with u on this 1.Wt caused the accident? Corporate greed,human error,negligence? Air accidents cannot b compared 2 road accidents i refuse 2 accept.5 hours ago · · 1
Oghenerieborue Sodje While I want to agree with you on the Dana license being restored and that there would be no airline flying today,if their licenses were revoked because of every accident, the poor handling of the Dana incident with respect to adequate information from the authorised aviation people and not carrying Nigerians along and families of the victims in particular like its done in other climes is what gives voice to the opposition of the restoration of the License. Have Dana airline done all they are supposed, legally, statutorily and corporate socially with respect to the such an incident, what are they supposed to do, have the public been informed accordingly? Also I think your reference to the local transport company by name is not in good taste.5 hours ago · · 1
Egbadon Christopher Whether road or air, accident is accident, checks carried out so far confirmed compliance with regulations within the industry, I think they should be allowed to resume flying!- Debola Albert Checks carried out nooow people noow,who ... up b4??? What is the punishment for their actions,who is to be held accountable for all the !59 lives lost?? We like sweeping under the carpet and pretending stuff don happen make we 4get move on.They ... up is they ... up and they should be punished because compliance with safety regulations were not adhered to in the !st place.5 hours ago · · 1
Gold Dafe it should not only be about restoring their license:has the families been COMPENSATED? What happens to those rendered homeless & even lost thier lives.methink all these should be looked into5 hours ago via mobile ·
Gbenga Ajayi We sympathize with the nation over the tragedy.
We may as well all stay indoor because of the tragedies around.
If all the required checks have been done on the airline and certified OK, let them fly.- 4 hours ago via mobile ·
Kennedy Kwentua @Gold: Compensation is secondary,Dana should resume operations and let us move forward....
Tunji Omole Emotions run very high on this issue... Communication is key... Prejudice of being Indian owned is another factor, opposition who are ill informed are fed wrong tales... Sad and unfortunate as the Crash episode is.. Me thinks continued communication is required. But don't support life ban because of accident... Zobor.. Continue to communicate.... Humbly though!

Gloria Chioma I like d fact that Dana is coming back.if not for anything,to give us another option to choose from against the monopoly of existing airlines who are not even better.
Oluwalade Morakinyo Isaac Either we like it or not, life goes on.3 hours ago via mobile ·
Chike Okonkwo I gathered that Dana has not finished paying compensation to the victims.- Chike Okonkwo Zowido,the issue was that in the public opinion ,Dana operated with a faulty aircraft. Then after inspection by aviation experts,the found the contrary.It is now difficult to erase the conviction the had in the court of public opinion.
Kasheit Ibrahim Daniel The suspension of Dana is a wrong signal to the general public, the govt must ensure more pragmatic ways in crisis management.Air France that crashed few years ago,the French govt never ban their operation during investigation.3 hours ago · Edited ·
Francis Nwankwo I don't think that is the point sir. We all deserve to know what happened. That is why in the US, they have air crash investigation. The flying public needs to know what happened to avoid a recurrence of this. The govt and the authorities have a duty to inform us before allowing a restart of operations. So can we please know. What happened to Dana Air???????????????????????
Adu Obaro Andrew why did they not make the report public before unbanning them!! Let Nigeria decide as for me I don't trust Nigerian reports and investigations!!!- Olumide Ayo-Vaughan 2 cars are blocking the entrance/exit doors into MMA2.
Am sure the MMA fire service have declared the airport safe for exit and entry.
But, I know that when there is an obstruction to the entrance and exit doors of a major public facility, it is not safe, regardless of what clueless professionals say.
Food for thought. 
Nosa Afe Zowido, you make a good point which I can understand as a business man. But air accidents always raise higher levels of emotional reactions due to it's tragic nature and also because those affected are never able to have closure (especially when you cant find a body to bury or cant recognise your loved one when a body is found) this is mostly unlike road accidents by comparison. I think however, that there could have been better communications between the FMA/FCAA and the public to first correct the rumour or general belief that the Dana crash was caused by corporate greed by the operators or avoidable human by the employees. The history of similar accidents and governments response/reaction have always followed a similar undefined, unprofessional and unsympathetic manner and so you cannot blame people from being skeptical of government's motives. I lost my nephew in the Bellview crash and still see the daily struggles of my sister (his mum) to come to terms with the loss of a child, no body to bury and nobody to take the blame. My friends in Govt always remind me that Nigerians are a difficult people to please. I agree but how much efforts do our government (appointed by Nigerians) put towards even trying to please these difficult Nigerians?
Bisoye Akinselure Do you blame them sir,once beaten twice shy
Adegboyega Jamgbadi Zobor good valid points and tenable position. True the ban cannot be indefinite and maybe in future govt will not resort to invoking a ban. However personally I think the problem in Nigerians is that underlying issues are not always first addressed but rather those with issues are often taken for granted. First treat these issues and then most likely it becomes easier to sell to the people whatever you want them to buy into. The people cried out in pain, anguish, fear, confusion, distrust and disappointment over this accident. Agreed that govt had in the past acted in a manner that appeared to addressed these issues but it must be sustained it must be a continuous process. Allaying these fears and building back confidence in partnership with the people must be prime it can never be too much. Could the unbanning of Dana have been an easier sell if the ban was lifted whilst also communicating with the people that govt held these issues paramount and the lifting of the ban was in no way negating this. Appropriate communication is key. Govt is of the people.about an hour ago · · 1
Barr Chi Eustace Njaka Thank u sir. The lessons are well taken. Life must go on. Dana can help reduce d rise in employment by hiring again. We also need them to put a stop to Arik yanga hahahaha.about an hour ago via mobile ·- Olumide Ayo-Vaughan If all is well, why has Dana joined the suit to stop the inquest into the investigation of the crash?
And why has the inquestor hurriedly stopped work, even in anticipation of judgement?
And why will FGN use a committee to investigate a crash when it pays people to occupy positions in the Air Accident Bureau?
Naija. I hail o. 
Bertram Misi Owete To reassure the public of govt safety regulation into this it would be reasonable to disclose the findings that informed the decision and remind people of what they can examine under FOI59 minutes ago via mobile ·
Alexander Edosa Oboh Zowido, your piece is the reason why people like you are in position to help sort out the issues in Nigeria. Somehow the government has failed to communicate with the people and went about business as usual, and the response is as set out in your trend. We need to come out of the attitude of patronising Nigerian public and give them the info to make decisions. Is the result of the independent check out for the public to read or kept for the special few aka cabals? . I do hope you can use your position to influence powers that be on how to communicate to the common man.
Agbagwu Dominic Ejike Oga here we come again.i have told u sir n will still be saying it,hunger has a lot to do in the way and manner Nigerians do and see things.Just imagine well reasonable people saying Dana air should be closed when not found guilty for a crash?Does that sound like somebody that is ok? Hunger that is the cause.because you said it all what about luxury buses that kills passengers every now and then,while have they not close them down.hunger has made them forgotten that the aircraft is man-made it can develop fault and crash in any given time.if it is that easy to seize license,then airline like Air France, Turkish Air that have been involved in several crashes will not fly again. Oga we are 500 years behind the western world with the way n manner we think and act12 minutes ago via mobile ·
