Chris Kehinde Nwandu Ckn Okereke-Emeka Chinekwu the lives lost were that of Igbo Children and that of his mother
Matilda Ayewoh That's life. How I wish Maimuna never left the United States for her brother's wedding in Nigeria!
Adeleke Olagbami Whether d marriage is postponed wld not bring back the dead.But in honor of the dead Anyaenes, it shld av been postponed
Kelechi Onukogu Nnodim OMG,I never imagined that they will still go on with this,,,,no doubts some beings ve got heart of stone
Okereke-Emeka Chinekwu Well he didn't see it dat way as I earlier said muslims don't take death d way we do afterall he is a muslim. They believe Allah as taken bck wat he gave. We can't mourn more than d bereaved.

Jadidah Osa I GUESS THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE PEOPLE I;E FAMILY MEMBERS YOU'D EXPECT TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY YOU WHETHER YOU ARE DEAD OR ALIVE ARE THE ONES THAT USUALLY DONT GIVE TWO FUCK ABOUT YOU AT THE END OF THE DAY. HIS MINDSET IS PROBABLY OF "LIFE GOES ON, POSTPHONING THE WEDDING ISN'T GONNA BRING BACK THE DEAD" THEREBY FORGETING THAT SOMETHING, YOU DO THE MORAL THING JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKE SENSE. SORRY TO SAY BUT I REFUSE TO "WISH THEM A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE" BECAUSE THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!1
Chris Kehinde Nwandu Ckn Their Invitation card to the wedding read "Please join the us on saturday 9th June as we hold prayers for our family members who have been called back to God. The prayers would hold at the Incubator (near Four Points) Victoria Island, Lagos at 9am. The Fatiha for Halima and Ndako would hold by 11am at Number 10 Mayaki Usman street, off Wole Ariyo street, lekki phase 1 (refreshments would be at the incubator afterwards). May God reward you for your love and support. Thank you"
Tunde Ajiboye Is there any hope for this,as every issue is always politicised or tribalised?Honestly,I weep for this country!
Mayjydda Abdulrahman Chris, y dont u leave this couple alone? And what do u mean that Ibo Children died in d crash, what about the other tribes that died too? Y u wan join tribalism inside? We respect their desires, that is what they chose to do, everyone is different, and as someone said, we can't mourn more than the bereaved! Please quit judging and let them be!

Kaita Lawal Okeowo Am speechless...ar sure at least 7 members of his family died, including children???
Kay Lord Pls before we all go up in arms against this couple, I want to ask first if anyone was present at the wedding? CKN, I beg did you send your camera man there or is it just a picture taken by someone who was there and sent to someone who now sent it out and on and on.... We all know how pictures fly around on BB and all other social network this days, maybe this is not meant for public viewing but got out one way or the other we don't know. Plz, I want to believe this guy is not a monster, also it is a Muslim family and what does Islam says about this kind of situation/circumstances? Above all, none of us commenting here loves the late sister more then his brother.May God help us and may the soul of the departed rest in peace!

Nwoye Juliet Na waoh 4 some kinda pple! Y make dis look or sound bad dan it really is? CKN don't u tink u r taking dis too personal? N more also trying to drag pple into quarrels with it? Pls I tink U should let d guy b, wateva he does in memory of the is strictly his business abeg! Postponing or not, d wedding will still hold sooner or later. Don't u tink he must ve discussed dis with family before going ahead?. Postponing d wedding or wateva won't change anything. Tink of it n give d guy a break. Maimuna is his sister u don't need remind him of dat and 4 all we care d guy might ve forced dose smiles too u know cos he's grieving don't mean he should be crying 4 U to see. If U be him friend and U dey d wedding u go still talk him into smiling a little. Don't judge any1 until uve walked in their shoes abeg...Pls let d dead rest in peace. Enough of mentioning Maimuna n family on your post and trying to paint the ones she left behind as bad biko. Lots of pple ve died n tins n pple moved on. Uncle Levi's death didn't make NNPC to shut down operations,Yardua's death didn't make Nigeria shut down anything infact Goodluck was even sworn in on dat same day. Enof said. May d gentle,beautiful and peaceful of all dose departed RIP in the bosom of our Lord Amen!

Benny Merriman-Johnson When was this photograph taken? Do we think, the clothes they have on are the clothes they wore for a high class wedding,..... the kind the people involved will wear? I do not think this was taken after the Sunday tragedy. No matter how callous people can be, i do not sincerely believe, they will be so insensitive as not to be completely in shock after,loosing so many friends and relations, in one sweep. Abah, most of us do not even know these people, yet we have been affected by the accident, and full of sorrow and pain, not to talk of this young couple. Every day of their lives, the picture of that crashed/ crushed plane will always be in their memory....trust me.
Mike Tunde Hubscrown Adewumi Aren't you all crying more than the bereaved? Do they have to do things now according to public dictate just because you were aware of their family tragedy. Pray for them and wish them well.

Seddy Nduoyo Mr ckn, I think you are being too harsh on them and judging them. Don't forget they are muslims and muslims don't have the same beliefs about death like we xtians. Moreso, how do u cancel a wedding plan just less than a wk to the date? Its his day pls let him have it,am sure he is sad,remember his mom aint der, he is human na, he feels pains but for some hours chose to hide it n do wat has to be done. May we never wear his shoes cuz dat time we wil know better. Thanks

Nwoye Juliet @Seddy nduoyo: Laura sis? If yes, hope is bouncing great? I thank God, Ckn and other nigerians who responded positively on her behalf.
ThankGod Onukwube Ofoelue I am truly shocked at the comments you people are making. What happened was an international tragedy involving many nationals who died in that crash. It is beyond a family issue. If that young man lost his own child, would he have gone ahead with a wedding-as a muslim? Come on guys, as CKN said, what goes around comes around. That crash was the worst aircrash ever recorded in Nigeria, and ever recorded anywhere in the world this year. Haba, its very unfair to that family- a whole lineage wiped out, and y family says 'go ahead with the marriage' d same reason theh returned to Nigeria! Aru! Tufiakwa. God forbid. If those whl think its a personal dont forbid such things where they come from, we see it as an abomination biko!

Twins-Ngozi Ukairo I naturally will not judge such a situation! But my personal opinion is that the wedding shld have been kept very quiet if it must go on! We are all affected and traumatised by this tragedy especially Maimuna's case! Watching those smiles its a bit insensitive and a big put off! All the same we wish them the very best! I guess we are all different in the way we handle grief! May the soul of Maimuna and all her relatives who died in the crash rest in peace especially the adorable little twin daughters!19 hours ago · · 2
Seun Coker Chris Kehinde Nwandu Ckn, leave them alone. You cannot cry more than the bereaved. I may not personally approve of them holding the wedding soon after the plane crash but I wouldn't take it upon myself to pass judgement on a guy who has lost his sister. Let the memory of his sister rest in peace and don't create controversy for what is essentially a familiy matter...and to start cursing others who don't share your views is rather out of place. You've turned yourself into a prosecutor and judge in this business. May the souls of all those who lost their lives in the plane crash rest in peace amen.19 hours ago · · 2

Dj Abass I think we have to be very very careful when we make judgement calls especially on social media and on issues we do not understand clearly. The need to carry on with the wedding could be a step towards dealing with the grief. I'm sure the families involved would have considered all options and probably felt this is what Maimuna would have wanted. The dead have gone and may their souls rest in eternal peace. We will all die someday in different circumstances and the living will have to deal with it. Like many have alluded to on this post, we cant grieve more than the bereaved. I wish the couple a happy married life and the deceased eternal rest.15 hours ago · · 9

WHY R U SOOO EVIL & WICKED. You obviously are jobless and just a spiteful human being to sit down, write this article and post it on the web.
ReplyDeleteOne question 4 u, WHAT IS UR BUSINESS????
Leave Ndako and the rest of the family and we the friends to mourn the best way we know how, dont sit down and start putting ideas into pple heads .
May God $give you for chastising this young man who is left to pick up the pieces of his once happy life.
First of all let me say @ CKN......your attempt at journalism is pathetic! It reeks of un-professionalism with the aim of gaining cheap publicity at all costs.
ReplyDeleteIs it a crime to smile at your wedding - the day supposed to be the most happiest day of your life. Granted this couple may have smiled for the cameras but can you say because they smiled that they are heartless and cruel. Can you honestly tell me (and this question goes to all that have called them names)that this couple even though smiling will not carry this pain and sadness all through their married lives! Imagine, every wedding anniversary will be preceded by the remembrance of losing 10 family members all at once. Most of us have only known Maimuna and her family for less than a week.....so do not be the judge of what Maimuna would or wouldn't have wanted.
To those that say postpone the wedding, I ask till when? December, 2013, 2014....will the distance bring back the dead or erase from their memories this tragedy! A friend lost her mother (She was crushed by a trailer at ketu)2 days to her wedding! Her mother had gone to the market to purchase foodstuffs because she wanted to cook for her soon to be married daughter. The wedding went on as planned (mind you they are Christians and Yoruba).
Let us not judge anyone because of their actions without all the facts, even if we decide to polarize the situation with inconsequential facts - religion and tribe. We cannot mourn more than those directly affected. The best we can do is to accept their choice to marry today which doesn't mean that they have moved on with their lives..
Rest in perfect peace to every life that was cut short by this tragedy.
my uncle collapsed after his daughter's friday traditional wedding before the church wedding on saturday. He died that friday night but the last thing he said to the gathered immediate family was "if you don't go on with that wedding tomorrow, you will face my wrath". He died shortly after. That saturday at the wedding, come and see people criticizing them! Talking shit about what really was none of their business.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone mourn Maimuna more than Ndako, Aisha and Moh? Nigerians and their stupidity. So he should have frowned throughout the ceremony. With people there telling him, Ndako smile, they would wish you to be happy.
I lost a sibling and if you had taken pictures of me 24hours after the event, you might have caught me with a smile on my face at several times. Yes I smiled, I cried, I laughed in memory - because I am a human being. Look into Ndako's eyes and see the grief. See his red and puffy eyes and yet some idiots think they are justified to dictate to the family how they should grieve.
I know Maimuna and if she hadn't died, supposing it was just their mom that died, she would have said Ndako, let's do this wedding and let's honor Mom. That's what they did. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO JUSTIFY IT TO ANYONE. IF THEY DID THE WEDDING, YOU GUYS WILL TALK. IF THEY DIDNT, YOU GUYS WILL TALK.
It irks me that the guy who blogged this seems to think he possesses some moral superiority. Talking about how he didn't go to present a paper in south africa after his dad died. Who cares? THAT IS YOU, DON'T DICTATE TO OTHER PEOPLE.
What crap and what a bunch of narrow-minded and unexposed people commenting. Open your mind - there are different types of belief systems, people do things differently. Stop judging and leave Ndako alone!!!!!!! I write this for the sake of posterity - Ndako if you ever come across this post, I'm proud of you. You did what you thought was right. I know how you loved your sister and how she loved you. Treasure her meomory.
Cheap popularity ! Pls leave this. Couple alone.
ReplyDeletePathetic blogging, pls go back to your day job. I just wonder when the novelty of this plane crash wears off, what will you blog about???????
ReplyDeleteDo you want to mourn the loss of Maimuna more than her own family???? Or u think they don't have elders in that family.
MMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!Eni ija oba timpe rare lokunrin.
ReplyDeleteDear all, I'm a relative of Memuna. Just to let you know that family is mourning the loss of 9 members ! Please help make it east for us !

ReplyDeleteplease leave them alone, let them enjoy their lives. a ceremony that was suppose to last 3 days was done in a couple of hours. do u all know that he lost his own mum as well? pls let us pray for the couple, that their union will know no evil, that a calamity of such will never happen in their house hold again. that the lord should comfort them and help his wife be his mother and sister that he once had. More than anything he needs someone close to him now. so if he will find peace and joy in the woman he loves, so be it. pls don't let us ciriticize him. let's wish them many happy days and years to come. Ndako i have never met you, but i love you and God loves you best.
