Clinging unto a floating debris for about 13 hours, the word miracle manifested in the Comoros Island, after an Airbus 310 rendezvoused once again with the fishes. Unlike the other Air-France Airbus 310 from Brazil, which plunged into the Atlantic Ocean with 257 passengers, this time, it was the Indian Ocean off the Comoros Island that provided the watery graves for these 151 passengers of Yemeni airways! 
According to government account, the Airbus 310 jetliner operated by Yemeni Airways was attempting to land in fierce winds in Moroni Comoros Island, before dawn Tuesday when it dived into the Indian Ocean. The plane was trying to negotiate a landing on the 9,558-feet long runway at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport when it made the fatal plunge. Because of the nature of the terrain and the difficulty of landing planes in the airport, it is considered a 'daytime-only airport' where visual is imperative as opposed to landing instruments. The question then remains, why did the pilot try to bring the plane to land at such wee hours of Tuesday, knowing the nature of the challenging landing difficulties of the airport? Bahia who was coming with her mother to vacation at Comoros Island before the accident, was treated at Moroni's El Maaruf Hospital before being flown to Paris late Wednesday aboard a chartered executive jet for further treatment. In the word of one sympathizer, Bahia 'really showed an absolutely incredible physical and moral strength"!
Bahia Bakari, 14-years old, was a God's gift to mankind to show that nothing happens to a person whose time has not come? How and why she survived the crash and was able to hold unto a floating debris for such long hours as 13 hours could only be summed up as miraculous and wonderful. Icheoku sincerely believe that the 13 hours feat of suspended arms will make even the best of the best of the Navy Seal, jealous with envy? It is equally note-worthy that this girl, who barely swims, could have such a strong will to live that she went through a 13 hour cliff-hanger ordeal in the Indian Ocean, alone and lonely in a pitch-dark night. Bahia held onto floating debris from the crashed airplane from the hour of 1:30 a.m to 3 p.m. before she was seen by a passing fishing boat, which rescued her. This is indeed a feat since others survived the initial impact but gave up the ghost before rescue could reach them? The passengers en-route to Comoros from Paris through Marseilles changed plane at Yemen and were on the final leg of their journey when their plane fell out of the sky into the ocean; killing all but one of the 151 passengers on board, all Comoros people and 66 French nationals.

Because of the crashed plane's air unworthiness, it was banned from operating inside Europe, prompting an observer to whiff, 'we cannot accept that a plane which is banned from flying in Europe is still allowed to fly in Africa. It's the proof that our world isn't fair and that human beings don't weigh the same depending on which side of the Mediterranean they are"? Icheoku sympathizes with the bereaved families and also felicitate with Bahia Bakari and her family for this miracle of Comoros!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
