Photo/video: Water leakage inside Nigerian plane while raining

Sahara Reporter's Adeola Fayehun shared it on YouTube, says a Nigerian airline passenger sent it to her. The passenger wrote
"I presume it started raining shortly before our landing as we waited in the plane for the Airline staff to get us umbrellas to shelter. All of that sounds good, right? Until we discovered the plane was leaking. Please see attached photos and video. Although it wasn't immediately clear if the leak was from the rain or the plane's cooling system, one thing was evident: the rate of leakage was proportional to the fluctuating intensity of the rain. At heavy intensity, the leak was pouring. When the rain subsided, it became more of a drip. In any case, the structural integrity of the aircraft is brought to question.". See the video after the cut..

Jonathan lacked will power to fight corruption – Edwin Clark

Jonathan lacked will power to fight corruption – Edwin Clark

Ijaw Leader and former Minister of Information, Chief Edwin Clark says former President Jonathan who he regards as a son, lacked the will power to fight corruption while he served as President. Mr Clark made this statement today while hosting the "Think Nigeria First Initiative” group who visited him at his home in Abuja. He said Jonathan and late Yar'Adua meant well for Nigeria but was too much of a gentleman to tackle corruption as was expected of him. He also announced his retirement from partisan politics at age 88...


 "Jonathan didn’t have the political will-power to fight corruption. He’s too a gentleman. Drivers of yesterday are living in palatial buildings now under his government. In advanced countries, when you are living above your means, people query you. That’s not so in Nigeria. Former governors and lawmakers are now asking for immunity. Jonathan meant well for this country, but the will power to fight corruption was not there. In an ideal society, when a man who earns 20,000 as his monthly salary and all of a sudden he acquire something that is worth N100,000, he should be questioned, but here in Nigeria, immunity has covered those that should be questioned. That is not the kind of country that we want. Being a gentleman is not enough to govern this country.”he said
The statesman applauded President Buhari's anti-corruption campaign
"It is not everything done by the opponent that is wrong. I will therefore support the policies that are for the good of the country because Nigeria belongs to all of us. We are all to support him, particularly in his determination to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. For eight years Obasanjo legalised corruption. Yet, he’s the one talking about corruption. If your brother is arrested, did he give you money? If your sister was arrested for corruption, did she give you money? Nobody should distract Buhari from fighting corruption. People should stop talking about sectional or selective justice"he said.
