Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, Says Air Crash Is Inevitable

The first time an airplane crashed in Ghana, it was a plane from Nigeria, and it is in this light that we allow INCOMPETENT government officials in Nigeria to blame everything on the devil or ascribe it to the will of God and they still remain in office. Funny country!

Months after the Minister of Power told Nigerians that some evil spirits are responsible for the poor electricity situation in Nigeria, the Minister of Aviation, Stella Odua, has dropped how own ridiculous excuse.

Reacting to the unfortunate Associated Airlines plane crash that killed about 15 people last week in Lagos, the Minister of Aviation, on Monday, described accidents as God’s will that are inevitable.

Mrs Stella Oduah made the shocking submission while fielding questions from State House correspondents on investigations into the crash.

“We do not pray for accidents but they are inevitable. But we will continue to do everything to ensure that we do not have accidents. But an accident is an act of God.

“Again, we do not speculate on the cause of accidents. Until they happen, you cannot say this is the cause or that is not the cause. But what is obvious and is the truth is that, in aviation, there are shared responsibilities, starting from the man that carries your luggage to the man that makes sure that your boarding pass is issued to you.

“And so, the regulatory agency, the operators, the management, everybody has his/her responsibility and all must work in tandem for there to be an optimal, secure and safe aviation sector in the country. And that is what we have been working on.”

“The aviation sector has to be funded. If you are talking safety for instance, you need to have the infrastructure that addresses that. If you are talking security, you need to have the infrastructure that addresses that and all must be sustained and maintained. And if you do not do that you are not just being sincere."

Is this woman saying Nigeria don't have money for infrastructure or the money is being diverted?
