Armed Policemen storm Arik Air as federal government takes over the troubled airline






The Federal Government has announced a take over of Arik Airline, which has recently been experiencing difficulties. According to the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, the government’s decision to take over the management of Arik Airlines would stabilise its operations, enhance its long term economic value, revitalise its ailing operations, and sustain safety standards, in view of its pivotal role in the Nigerian aviation sector.
The intervention, according to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), clearly underscores the government’s commitment to instilling sanity in the country’s aviation sector and prevent a major catastrophe. The airline will now be managed by Roy Ukpebo Ilegbodu, an aviation expert, under Mr Oluseye Opasanya, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika expressed the belief that the development will bring about stability in the airline.

An inside source at the airline exclusively confirmed to LIB that the close down was authorized by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria as an aftermath of the earlier arrest of the airline’s chairman on Wednesday.

It's also on record that Arik Air is owing AMCON to the tune of N139Billion which has now made the Federal Government’s agency to take over the airline.

LIB also gathered that top management staff of the airline have been apprehended.

I walked out of Wal Mart today and got in my car. As I began to pull out, I had to wait for a man in a wheelchair to pass by. As I watched him, I noticed that he was missing his right leg from the knee down and was wearing, what appeared to be, old, government issued, combat boots. He was (from my guess) in his late sixties/early seventies and seemed to be stopping to take a break. He had not realized that I had started my car and was attempting to pull out, so when he saw me, he waved in an apologetic manner and rolled forward three more times and took another break. I backed up my car the inches I had previously pulled forward, put it in park, turned off the engine, and got out. I walked up to him and introduced myself. I asked him if I could assist him with his shopping today, and he, quite grumpily, said that he was doing just fine and was not getting much anyways. Me, being as stubborn as I am, insisted and proceeded to push him and tell him a little about myself. He inter

He's back again, and this time, he writes an open letter to his one year old son, Daniel where he says, 'I am still single because I am taking my time to get a woman who will love and treat you as her child'.  Read his full letter after the cut. 'I don't want to go into the details of how we went to three hospitals before you were born, how the doctor said you won't survive, how I was scolded for taking pictures of the ambulance and the whole process instead of panicking but I told them I knew u would survive and I wanted to keep the pictures for you, or is it the one that the doctor said you would only come out through CS and I told him you would come out through normal delivery and the doctor looked at me and said "do u think we are doing comedy here?"... but God granted my heart desire and you were born on the way

*🌀I JUST SAW THIS NICE STORY WITH A WONDERFUL LESSON AND THOUGHT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL, PLEASE ENJOY:*

An old King realized that if he died he had no one to take over his throne. He decided to adopt a son. He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The King said to them, "I have one last test and whoever comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my throne". He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant their seeds. In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the seed failed to sprout. The boy had diligently done everything required but he failed. His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it, but his God fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused. The day to give account to the King came and the 10 boys went to the palace. All the other 9 boys were successful with their seeds. The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the seed I gave you?" And each boy said "
