Besides being famous for housing a popular tourist attraction where warm
and cold springs meet, Ikogosi happens to be the first place where a
plane crash incident occurred in Nigeria.
How did the crash happen?
The 2nd world war was ongoing when a cargo plane which was carrying arms
and ammunition (including explosives) crashed at Igbo Ilapa in Ikogosi.
The explosives made the crash a fatal one as they kept exploding for
hours.
First Plane Crash In NIgeria
This set the whole of Igbo Ilapa, now called Igbo Baalu (forest of
aeroplane), on fire and destroyed every living and non-living thing in
the environment. OldNaija gathered that the pilot, with great efforts,
manoeuvred the plane to crash on the forest-cloaked hill instead of the
quiet town which would have left many people dead and several properties
destroyed.
Till this very moment, two hole-riddled engines and other body parts of the plane can still be found on the hill.
And for Nigerian owned plane, the first crash was recorded on the 20th
of November, 1969. The plane, DC-10, was owned by the government. The
plane took off in London and crash-landed in Lagos. 82 people, including
the plane crew, died in the crash.

In a post on Instagram, the singer urged women to know their self worth and not to follow every trend online.
She advised women to desist from imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around them and be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit as she quotes the bible (Romans 12:2 ).
The singer wrote:
“Dear women, you don’t have to follow every trend. Carry thyself with dignity, know your worth.. this is why you are different. “
“Let your light so shine before men so that they may see your good works (Lifestyle, character) and glorify your father in heaven.. #ISTANDAGAINSTSILHOUTTECHALLENGE.”
“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you,
but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total
reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s
will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.
Romans 12:2.”
Dr Faisal Shuaib, Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), said this on Friday in obvious response to assertion by Gates during an interview session with journalists last Tuesday.
The Bill and Melinda Gates co-founder had told the newsmen that Nigerian government should rather invest the funds it has set aside for procurement of COVID-19 to put the country’s primary health care system on a stronger footing.
“There is no doubt that the impact of putting money into the health system particularly the primary healthcare system will be very high in terms of saving children’s lives. Nigeria should not divert the very limited money that it has for health into trying to pay a high price for COVID-19 vaccines,” the Micrsoft founder said while responding to question on federal government’s plans to invest about N400 billion in procurement of vaccine.
The Microsoft founder also noted that Nigeria will get free vaccine from the COVAX facility initiative being coordinated by the GAVI Vaccine Alliance set up to ensure equitable access to to the COVID-19 vaccine and as such, there is no need for the country to raise funds to procure the medical commodity.
But while disagreeing with Gates, Dr Shuaib said the structure and skills that will be acquired by the country through the administration of COVID-19 vaccine will contribute to the strengthening of the nation’s healthcare system in the long run.
Shuaib, whose agency is in charge of vaccine administration and primary healthcare at the national level in Nigeria, said this in an interview with News Agency of of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja.
He noted for instance that engagement of additional healthcare workers to administer the vaccine would ensure non-disruption of routine services.
The NPHCDA boss also noted that the intensive capacity building and the acquisition of new and additional cold chain equipment will, on the other hand, contribute immensely to strengthening the PHC system.
Shuaib said long after the country had overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, the lessons learnt, new skills acquired by health workers and the infrastructural improvements would place the country in a better stead to manage future pandemics.
“This holistic approach to health system strengthening, which is driven through the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, is based on global standards and is in line with observations and recommendations recently made by our donors and development partners.
“Any idea or report that says this approach does not prioritise strengthening of the health system, stems from a lack of complete understanding of the health system and should be disregarded,” he said.
He added that while Nigeria was appreciative of the global effort, through the COVAX facility, the delay in accessing vaccines meant that eligible countries would have to explore all channels, that could ensure fair prices, safe and effective vaccines for its populace.
“This is why the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, is also engaged with the African Union, through the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team.
“The Federal Government is committed to securing the much-needed COVID-19 vaccines, taking into consideration safety, efficacy, cost and required logistics, to stop ongoing community transmission of the virus.
“As the country awaits the arrival of the first batch of COVID-19 vaccine in February, the PTF has called on State governments to put all the necessary logistics in place to ensure a successful vaccination exercise,” he said.
He added that traditional leaders in the country had pledged their support for the COVID-19 vaccine in the country, urging the Federal Government to procure adequate quantities of the vaccine to meet the needs of the country.
“His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, has also urged Nigerians to get vaccinated as soon as safe, effective and NAFDAC certified vaccines are available,” he said.
The NPHCDA boss also urged Nigerians to disregard rumours about the
safety of the vaccine, and rely only on information from credible
sources for decision making.

Tributes poured out for Nunuk Nuraini, who worked as a flavour development manager at the cult favourite Indonesian brand for nearly 30 years.
Many thanked her for her “legacy”, one calling her a “non-cape wearing hero”.
Indomie has become almost synonymous with instant noodles in Indonesia, where many have grown up eating the popular brand.
But it has in recent years also become a global hit, finding popularity not just across South East Asia but also Australia and Nigeria.
However, even though the brand now offers dozens of flavours, its “mi goreng” or fried noodle flavour, has consistently remained its most popular.
One social media user called her the “Mother of Indomie”, adding that she created the “most beautiful work”.
Others posted pictures of their own Indomie creations online. This caption in Indonesian reads: “My mainstay menu, fried egg, meatball and Indomie. Thank you Nunuk, you are a hero in our hearts.”
According to local news outlets quoting Indofood – the company which owns the noodle brand – Nuraini passed away on Wednesday afternoon.
The reason behind her death was not clear, though a spokesman said she had “returned peacefully to Allah”.
