US celebrities, other wealthy parents involved in latest college admissions fraud

The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has said that it will not ground the Boeing 737 airplane in spite of the pressure from senators and various workers’ unions to do so.

The aviation authority said there was no reason to suspend the service of the Boeing aircraft in its review which said there are “no systemic performance issues”, BBC reports.

The Ethiopian Airlines plane which crashed on Sunday, March 10, killed all the 157 people that were on board, and that was the second accident that would be involving the Boeing aircraft model in five months.

Following the recent crash, many countries like the UK, China, the European Union and Australia have stopped the service of the plane from their airspace.

Ted Cruz, a Republican senator did not agree with the aviation authority, saying it will be wise for the US to ground the plane even if it is temporarily.

He said: “I believe it would be prudent for the US likewise to temporarily ground 737 Max aircraft until the FAA confirms the safety of these aircraft and their passengers."

Other senators like Edward Markey and Richard Blumenthal also commented on the issue by saying that the plane should be grounded until FAA can confidently assure of the flight safety of the airplane.

Mitt Romney, another Republican senator also agreed with other senators that the plane should be suspended from working, saying the causes of the recent crashes of the plan need to be properly looked into.

He said: "Out of an abundance of caution for the flying public, the FAA should ground the 737 Max 8 until we investigate the causes of recent crashes and ensure the plane's airworthiness."

However, the aviation authority said they no union or other authorities had given them any data that would give them the basis to ground the plane.

The Boeing company also said that it had in recent months been working on developing a control system software, and said it is confident about the safety of their aircraft to fly.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
