Onitsha Human Cargo: Nigerian Refugees In Their Own Country

The Onitsha South Local Government Area Secretariat Annex, in Anambra State, was built for administrative purposes. Today, it's occupied quite alright, but not by workers alone. One of the halls in the complex has been turned into a refugee camp.
In the hall are men, women and babies, who were brought to Onitsha by agents of the Lagos State government and figuratively dumped on Anambra State government some weeks ago. Arrested in Lagos and "deported" to Anambra, these people are now refugees in their land. They have been given temporary accommodation and being fed by Anambra State government.
And their security is in the hands of operatives of Nigerian Civil Defence Corps (NCDC). Residents of the commercial city of Onitsha, especially those in Upper Iweka, woke up a few weeks ago to behold about 600 strange persons. It was gathered that they were brought in the dead of the night by a trailer, whose departure point was not known immediately.

Qatar Airways will not take delivery of Boeing Co's (BA.N) 787 Dreamliner until an engine defect is modified, its chief executive said on Tuesday.Qatar has placed orders for 60 Dreamliners - 30 firm and an option for 30 more - and selected General Electric Co's (GE.N) new-generation GEnx engine for the aircraft.

"The 787 has an engine with new technology. However, there has been a material defect in the engine which now needs replacement and inspection," Akbar Al-Baker said after a speech in the Qatari capital Doha. "We have informed Boeing that we will not take delivery until the 787s have the new modified shaft," said Baker.

Nigerian businessmen and companies should learn from international deals like this and always demand  the best products from their suppliers and stop the usage, production and importation of sub standard goods.
