A former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday criticised Aviation Minister, Ms Stella Oduah, for allegedly taking his advice to her out of context.
In a statement in Lagos, Fani-Kayode said: “Stella Oduah made some comments about me today (yesterday), which were uncalled for, malicious and petty. She reportedly said I should ‘bury my head in shame’, suggesting that I was ‘speaking out of context’ in my essay, where I called for her resignation and that I spoke under some ‘influence of something or other’. “My advice and counsel to her is to stop being petty. She is meant to talk like someone who befits her office and not like a market woman… I do not like joining issues with women publicly; this is why I was very gentle with her in my essay, though I made my point. But this woman is endangering the lives of our people with her insensitivity, and we cannot just keep quiet.
“This is a woman under whose watch as Aviation minister almost 200 people have been killed and, instead of focusing on how to save lives, her obsession has become smearing and abusing Femi Fani-Kayode. This is a woman who only yesterday told Nigerians that ‘accidents are inevitable’ and that they were ‘acts of God’. This is a woman who thinks more about how her headscarf …than she does about protecting Nigerian air travellers.
“If anyone should bury her head in shame it is her; not me. After about 200 of our fellow citizens have been killed under her watch, instead of abusing her critics and those of us who have expressed our concerns and offered our advice, she should be seeking repentance from God and tendering her resignation. She should be attempting to encourage Nigerians and assuage their fears rather than indulging in cheap side shots and a futile press war.
“Instead of comforting the families of those who died, she is abusing me. What a shame!
“Under her tenure, we have beautiful terminals but deadly and blood-soaked skies. Our skies have become death traps because she really does not care.”
My advice to her is to get serious and focus on doing her job, rather than attempting to smear me with lies and innuendos.
“I raised some serious issues in that essay, which were clearly above her level; I avoided personal insults. That is what civilised people do. She should learn from that and address the issues that were raised rather than spend her time trying to kill the messenger.
“When someone says that God is the author of fatal crashes, you know that it is not the same God that we worship as that person. It is devil that causes accidents and kills people; not God. You can say that a fatal accident is an act of God only if the devil is your god.
“When I speak and write, I am under the influence of one thing and one thing alone – the Spirit of the Living God who sees through her and who knows her for what she is.
“She is the one that is under the influence of one thing or the other and not me. She is the one whose hands are filled with blood. She is the one that must bury her head in shame and no-one else. I will pray for her because she needs it and I will pray for Nigeria to. May God deliver us from these people.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteFFK IS REALLY A SHAMELESS BASTARD AND A DISSAPOINTING IDIOT.
Typical FFK, blowing himself out of proportion. Very very shameless and uncouth...
ReplyDeleteFfk,u are a true yoruba man bc u are behaving like one. making much noise first but running when the fight starts. plz stop disgracing men' integrity. Ohkane
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this man was ever a Minister in this our country. He doesn't like joining issues with women but he has done more than join issues. He talks more like a market woman. He's a very jobless & irrelevant man. I'm so put off by his uncivilised attitude.
ReplyDeleteMust u run ur mouth all the time?
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with this babaric FFK? Can someone please change his drugs for him? The cheap drugs he has been taking is beginning to take its toll on him.
ReplyDeleteFFK MUST U ATTACK EVERYBODY. UR PROBLEM IS IDLENESS. GO GET URSELF BUSY. LOUSY MOUTH.
ReplyDeleteWhy should these personalities continue to abuse each other's. these are people who are supposed to be great examples for the young and youths of our great country but see what we have been reading. instead of proffering great solutions to the problems at hand in the aviation sector. Its a great shame on them. There are more pertinent national issues we need to read about. please NE stop posting about there replies to both parties. IT'S CRAZY

ReplyDeleteI wonder y everyone here appears to be attacking FFK...He has raised issues..all d woman need do is to object with clear cut points/defence...
ReplyDeleteHow can a sane person say Accident is an act of GOD???
Then we can as well pray that the minister would have an accident.after all, its "an act of GOD".....
FFK,...nice points
All of you are fools. sentiment and tribalism will kill you all, you have eyes but you can see, you have ears but they re blocked, and your brains re not functioning useless ppl. I pray that one of thisday ur family should be a victim of air craft, then u all understand the message that FFK is passing across to the sane ppl. Olose. Ad
ReplyDelete@anonymous 2:29...It is not proper for you to be insulting a whole tribe when trying to condem one man..Next time,learn to respect other people's tribe..As for FFK,the man is trying to start revolution with all his insultive statements towards the political office holders and i think that is what Nigeria needs for now if we are to remain as a nation..Imagin a country(Nigeria),where the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer,over 70% unemployed youth/graduates,our electricity is an epileptic,our roads are not motorable for transportation,planes in Nigeria has become our road to heaven,security agencies cannot even protect them selves not to talk of the general public instead,egunje(bribe) is their motto now but our leaders are busy fighting each other at the top towards 2015 election and their primary objective when they were elected is to embezzle our money instead of them to be executing the projects they were voted for..Nigerians,let's be wise..KAZMMM
ReplyDeleteHmm.
ReplyDeleteIn decent and proper upbringing and etiquette; talk is said to be cheap, while silence is golden.
Chief FFK, Chief FFK, Chief FFK! How many times did I call you? Please learn to toll the path of decency by using silence to your own advantage.
A word should be enough for the wise.
Please stop being very petty by responding to every shot; even when directed at you.
Be guided and decent, please!
Who eva dat is close 2 dis FFK shud pls drag him 2 d hospiital cus I cn c he is havin mental disoda. Sori my broda get well soon.
ReplyDeleteFellow eyeRs,
ReplyDeleteThe issue here is
1. Are plane crashes acts of God
2. Are we to expect more of this benevolence from God?
Fani K, leave the woman alone, she has shown naught to good reasoning and logic!
May the God almighty perform his acts on every minister and the President of this arid nation.
BabaPupa!!!
Babapupa009@yahoo.com
your wisdom and depth will soon be appreciated. FFK carry on with the revolution and reformation. Thank you
ReplyDelete2 me FFk have a gud point under d present minister's watch over 200 hundred Nigeria's lost they dear life's n all d so called accident plans are not 2b airborne in d 1st place if really she is doing her work
ReplyDeleteGod bless ffk
ReplyDeleteLousy puerile FFK require urgeng psyche check up befre its too late.
ReplyDeleteLoud Amen to Babapupa's prayer.
ReplyDeletewaoh! Ibo and their faniphobia even when this man is objective;may God deliver this generation-ahmed
ReplyDeleteNO, it should be ' who is close to this anonymous writer' should take him/her to the hospital bcose of his /he useless and baseless comments here, do u realized how many times u commented only on this page alone? then that shows that u are joblessssssssssssssssssss and idle what brought about " tipical yoruba nam" that u stated in one of ur write ups? must u make comments that will trigger the anger of another tribe? or are u one of them? (...) make meaningful comments plz and not being a racist: this is my little advice 4u, ffk was right to make comments or do u want we all to keep quiet and fold our arms? we all can not sleep in one direction, ur ideas could be diff frm mine so be careful
ReplyDeleteffk, you are so jobless, what in God"s name is wrong with you? what do you think you are that you come out all the time to say rubbish. stop this notice me you are doing cause is not going to work.it may please you to know that 95% of nigerias are tired of your notice me in this country.yamhead.
ReplyDeleteA big shame for ffk, again he cannot differentiate between an advice and an insult. Was that an advice or attack to Oduah? When he called her a Vampire, in his language and interpretation that's an advice. This is the kind of people "APC = Anti-People Congress or Anihilation People Congress" are parading. No respect for the People, no respect for Tribes, no respect for Traditional Seat/ Rulers, no respect for another Religion, no respect for President, no respect for Lives of nigerians from opposite side. This is the attitude of almost all the key leaders in that association. Currently the news is everywhere, good number of APC controlled states in the west and north are involved in demolishing, or closing/locking-up churches/christian schools or centres. Is this signal/premonition of what Nigerians non-muslims and those muslims who do not support extremism should expect if ........ ? God forbid evil!!! Amen.
ReplyDeleteall those throwing insults at ffk should bury their heads in shame...haba..what minister in today's 21st century will open her mouth to say air crashes are acts of God...so the air crashes should continue the.. Instaed of her honouraby resigning and let people who can run the aviation sector properly do so the shameless woman is busy exchanging words again...no remorse,no shame....stella where is your honour? I pray then that those of you insulting and making a rubbish of ffk's frustrations with our sick country will be victims of the air mishaps IJN...afterall its an act of God...rubbish!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, air crash an act of God? I pray that ur people will benefit from dt act of God in Jesus name. As for FFK, what did u do during ur tenure as d Aviation Minister to improve or sanitise d aviation industry?
ReplyDeleteI dont blame her rather i blame the mumu president that appointed her into the position simply because she bankrolled the stupid neigbour to neigbour campaign project in 2011 .
ReplyDeleteFFK WHY CAN'T YOU RESPECT WOMEN DON'T YOU HAV WIFE AT HOME OR YOU WANT TO DATE HER TOO SO THAT YOU WILL INCLUDE HER NAMES IN THE LIST OF WOMEN YOU HAVE HAD AFFAIR WITH SHAME ON YOU WOMAN RAPPER.
ReplyDeleteFFK you and woman again after you finish with mrs Ojukwu-u need real repentance from jumping into another persons office. To morrow start ur car and zoom off without checking water and oil and even wheel nut,and if accident occur u blame police or road safty that's just what happened nobody should blame Stella ,how can she in FCT come down to check planes in lagos. let's call a spade a spade the incident is as a result of lack of maintenance, if that engine can drop with two minutes it took- off what are you talking again that's their fate u don't fight blind war!
ReplyDeleteBut be careful with people's wife FFK, so u don't go crazy in Nigeria this is a matter of office.
An iresponsible and foolish FFK!,anyway tomorrow we all have known u,letter of appology will be sent to Stella.
ReplyDeletePlease stop abusing FFK neither the aviation minister,all we need now in this country is to stop the sudden death of our people.FFk have pointed a good point that deserve a solution,we will appreciate it if u also tell us the approach that you used doing your own tenure in other to save masses life.@ Olajire.
ReplyDeleteits nt like ffk does not make sense ,it is just dat too much of anyrin is bad .He exaggerates and it is gettin too much at tgis very time .
