The Crash of NAF 911 on September 26, 1992 By Dr. Nowa Omoigu nowa_o@yahoo.com Introduction The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a versatile, high wing, turbo-prop military and civilian transport plane used by well over 60 countries. It was designed for tactical in-theater airlift and modifiable for various roles including Troop and equipment transport and Para drop, search and rescue, aero medical evacuation, command and control, electronic warfare, arctic ice re-supply, maritime patrol, aerial spray missions, aerial fuel tanker, fire-fighting, disaster relief, combat and weather reconnaissance, and aerial gunship, among others. It is capable of functioning in and out of dirt strips. Equipped with four engines and originally designed in 1951, the first production model was the C-130A. In 1954 the first prototype flight took place followed in 1955 by the first production flight. Over the years many models have been produced including the C-130A, C-130B, C-130E, C-130H, C-130H2, C-130H3, C-130J, L-100, L-100-20, L-100-30, and C-130H-30. The C-130H, first delivered in 1964, was equipped with a number of improvements over previous models including updated T56-A-T5 turboprops, a sturdier outer wing, and revamped avionics. On side-facing seats, it can carry 92 combat troops or 64 fully equipped paratroopers and can haul 45,000 pounds of cargo. For casualty evacuations, it can airlift 74 litter patients with two medical attendants. Personnel, equipment and supplies can be delivered by conventional landing or by alternative methods of aerial delivery. The specified maximum gross weight in peacetime is 155,000 pounds, although up to 175,000 pounds is allowable in wartime. Normal landing weight is 130,000 pounds. The operating weight is reportedly 80,000 pounds. The C-130H-30 is the stretched version, 15 feet longer.

volume 8, issue #8 - Thursday, April 17, 2003 sponsored by: Nigeria country analysis brief 26-03-03 As an OPEC member, Nigeria is one of the world's largest oil exporters. Nigeria is a major oil supplier to Western Europe and was the 5th largest supplier of crude oil to the United States in 2002. Information contained in this report is the best available as of March 2003 and is subject to change. The election and inauguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration in 1999 returned Nigeria to civilian rule. On January 6, 2003, it was announced that President Obasanjo won the nomination for president in the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) primaries in Abuja. Nigeria's presidential elections are scheduled to be held on April 19. Local and legislative elections are also planned to be conducted around the same time. Nigeria has not held successful elections under a civilian government since independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, with attempts in 1966 and 1983 ending in violence and military coups. In April 2000, President Obasanjo signed into law a new revenue sharingformula with the nine oil-producing states by which the latter receive 13 % of oil revenues versus the previously allotted 3 %. In February 2003, a resolution of the dispute between the federal government and the littoral states over the allocation of offshore oil and gas revenues was reached. The Obasanjo government had taken the unprecedented step of asking Nigeria's Supreme Court to intervene in its argument with regional state governments over control of the country's offshore oil and gas resources.

THE PRICE OF OIL VIII. PROTEST AND REPRESSION IN THE NIGER DELTA While all the oil companies that responded to Human Rights Watch’s request for information stated that their policy was always to oppose the use of force against protesters at oil installations, the response from the military regime has been invariably repressive when community members attempt to demand better treatment from the government or the international oil companies. The following section describes well known protests, including the campaign by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), as well as lesser known attempts to obtain compensation by local communities, and the response from the security forces to these actions. While information relating to the oil companies’ response is included, where available, the next chapter considers the role and responsibilities of the oil companies in more detail. Umuechem On October 30 and 31, 1990, a protest took place at Shell’s facility at Umuechem, east of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, that led to the police killing some eighty unarmed demonstrators and destroying or badly damaging 495 houses. This incident was the first to bring the situation in the Niger Delta to international attention, and remains the most serious loss of life directly involving oil company activities. Youths from the Umuechem community demanded provision of electricity, water, roads, and other compensation for oil pollution of crops and water supplies. On October 29, 1990, the divisional manager of SPDC’s eastern division had written to the Rivers State commissioner of police to request “security protection,” with a preference for the paramilitary Mobile Police, in anticipation of an “impending attack” on SPDC’s facilities in Umuechem allegedly planned for the following morning.

THE PRICE OF OIL VI. OIL COMPANIES AND THE OIL PRODUCING COMMUNITIES The coming of the oil industry has transformed the local economy of the oil producing communities. Although the changes are not as profound as those among previously uncontacted peoples of the Amazon rainforest living in areas where oil has been discovered —the Niger Delta was one of the first parts of Nigeria to have extensive contact with Europeans, and was profoundly affected by the slave trade (from which some local leaders profited, while other communities in the hinterland were victims), and subsequently exported oil palm derivatives and other local products—the sheer quantities of cash involved in the oil industry cannot but dramatically affect local economic opportunities and power relations between those who lose or gain from those opportunities. In some respects, the oil economy has had beneficial effects, creating job opportunities and educational and infrastructure development in areas which would otherwise likely have been far more marginalized within the Nigerian state. Overall, however, the effects of oil are at best ambivalent, and most local activists argue that they have proved negative for the communities where oil is produced. Minorities in the Oil Producing Regions The peoples living in the oil producing communities largely belong to ethnic groups other than the three major groups (Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa-Fulani) that dominate Nigeria. They speak a diverse range of languages and dialects: at least five major language groups are represented in the delta states.

They speak a diverse range of languages and dialects: at least five major language groups are represented in the delta states. There areestimated to be approximately eight million people (there are no reliable census data) who would describe themselves as Ijaw, largely living in the riverine areas of what are now Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers States, as well as in Port Harcourt, Warri, and other towns on dry land. The division between the riverine and upland areas is of major cultural and geopolitical importance in the debates over the rights of the oil areas. Other ethnic groups on dry land in what is now Rivers State include the Ogoni, numbering some 500,000 (themselves divided between four separate dialect groups); several groups speaking languages related to Igbo, including the Etche, Ndoni, and Ikwerre; a number of communities speaking dialects falling into a Central Delta language group; the Andoni, who speak a Lower Cross dialect, and others.

"We are really shocked by the level of malnutrition that we are discovering in Camacupa. We are doing as much as we can to reduce mortality through our feeding centres, but this is not enough. People need urgently a general food distribution," Erwin Van der Borght, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) head of mission in Angola, said in a statement on Wednesday.

We are also rich in oil and natural gas. Akwa lbom accounts for more than 28 percent of Nigeria's total crude oil output. Much of the crude is located offshore which has pr*oven reserves of spectacular discoveries. We have enormous reserve of gas on - shore. Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron and Elf have been actively exploiting these resources for years. Our territorial water is home to a diversity of aquatic life that is ideal for deep water fishing. Our coastline measures more than 129 km. Much of this is sandy beach. This should combine with our rich cultural heritage to provide a strong base for an extensive tourism industry.
