Overland Airways Crash Averted

I had the opportunity to talk with one of the cabin crew off duty and she said that Overland flies with the 'grace of god' and that the day it will have a crash, it will be the end of this company. She also told me that they fly 9 sectors. Which means they fly illegal and bust the maximum allowed duty time. She said its a normal practice in Overland. The latter also added that the MD have got many close relations in politics and NCAA. May be some money transactions is there. Feedback from other colleagues and friends also align with my deductions. That incident of OJ1188 could have been an accident I believe. As a passenger I will be scared to fly with them now. Better be safe than sorry!

Goodluck

To Sahara Reporters

I had worked in the maintenance of Arik Air. I had the opportunity to be in the cockpit of Overland twice. I was surprised to see a very poor crew coordination in the cockpit and at times you don't even know who is the captain and who is the co pilot. The captain even slept for a while during the flight. The aircraft also seems to be badly maintained as they were flying with fault lights on. There was even a false fire warning and they said that's its a false warning. Which means that they have it often. Strange noise was heard after take off,'Pak!' and there were no reactions from the crew.

You try well well for scaring the traveling public.
Please be more professional in your reporting that I respect so much till now. Mallam Isa Yuguda has no hand in OVERLAND AIRWAYS.

Sahara Reporters, I'd like to commend you guys for your investigative journalism and your prompt reportage of issues happening within and outside the country. However, please be informed that Overland Airways is NOT owned by Gov. Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State. It is jointly owned by Capt. Edward Boyo, Late Dr. Olusola Saraki and Ex-Gov. Bukola Saraki (Now a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria). Capt. Boyo is the MD of the company. Kindly get your facts right in the future.
Thanks.

Sahara Reporters are truely helping us a lot in Nigeria, exposing a lot of evil and terrors to be unleased on anybody, whether in Nigeria or any part of the world.God will reward you and your team for helping the helpless. You have helped a lot of voiceless or the silenced even any govt inpower exposing any bad element in any position in Nigeria. I have taken overland severally, infact they are the first I startd to fly with in Nigeria,infact I fly then more than others(Ibadan), they have good record but let all pray to God to continue to protect us and also let all learn to accept criticism with joy and understanding. Sahara Reporters are our friends that God is using greatly to exposea a lot of evil things before they happen. Sahara Reporters are our friends in the world. Sahara Reporters more greese to your elbows, please dont be discouraged with any attack from anybody. God will strenthen you the more.

Sahara i read you guys all the time and i enjoy mainly the commentary. The reason i take your news with a pinch of salt is due to inaccuracy and wrongly sensationalizing a news item. In this case i take it that unlike more advanced countries where journalists specialise in certain fields they report, our journalists regardless of their qualification lack these training. As a proffessional pilot there is no need for any emergency because a landing gear had not retracted after takeoff that qualify it to be reported as a near tragedy. These things happen all the time all over the world without been presented the way you guys do.Please you guys are killing the aviation industry by unnecessarily scaring the public and everybody will pay for it. Get some knowledge.

akpos1,

Don't ask "Where did Bauchi State Gov get money to Buy plane". Arne Jack Gowon did not commit genocide for nothing. He carried out pogrom and later genocide to own the oil fields of SS and SE. Is Jack not from Bauchi Plauteau? Does his brother Pol Pot Yakubu Danjuma not own oil blocks in Cross River and Bayelsa states?

The Hausa Foolani will tell you that crime pays. For them the highest crime which is genocide has paid them handsomely.

I love it when the Hausa Foolanis are the pilots and co_pilots of these expensive planes. Let them carry their own people, we have no objection. Fools will never learn.

where is our speed train? where is d good road? becos corruption ve made dem to run away from dir basic responsibility now helicopter is now option b? c! every means of transportation in nigeria is now a death trap . bcos d victim are now vip dat is y nobody will drink water and drop cup. now evry body is insecure, lets fight corruption in all sector head on. sentiment aside

So, the order of the day for everyone in the government is to own something flying in the air . No wonder non of them is interested in building good roads for the Nigerians. God dey oo and God is watching ooo

I respect you guys alot at sahara reporters but i can authoritatively tell you that overland airways own by a company called Landover is not in any way related or have anything to do with the gov of bauchi state.
Please always cross check your facts before your publish.

This is why the non productive North & West do not want power to shift to the SS&SE. But the game is long over. The SS&SE are tolerant and enduring but a fiercely determined people who will do anything to get what it wants when it decides to, regardless of who is involved.

...after Jona leaves, an Ibo from the East should become the President. This is the ideal if we were a country but we are not.

...When a non productive & docile people want to feed on the resources, hardwork & goodwill of the SS&SE forever, then the height of stupidity can be said to have been surpassed.

...if by bombing people in Churches & at resting spots is the way, then we will teach them how to bomb when the time comes.

...It should be made known, loud & clear: The SS&SE will continue with the continent on its own terms. Period.

Long live the United States of the South South & South East

God will see us through.

"Overland Airways, which has been in business since 2003, is linked to the Bauchi state governor, Isa Yuguda. It has yet to make a comment on last Sunday’s flight experience, and SaharaReporters has been unable to confirm if the aircraft is back in the air."

A flight that is linked with a boko sponsor is being operated in naija at free will. And we're said to be fighting terrorism abi. I dey laugh like baba kampe.
