Nligeria is a country where anything is possible. At a time when we are witnessing the highest level of insecurity since the nation was born, a cargo plane laden with weapons of war conveniently stops by a major airport ''to fuel up'' by 4am. A Nigerian serving as an agent is conveniently on ground to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Speculations abound yet our government finds it convenient to just keep mum. Where exactly is this nation heading? How do we know that refueling was not a cover to land the aircraft and discharge its deadly cargo? How do we know that this has not been happening before, that the plane which came to ''refuel'' has not been ''fueling'' the mayhem in the niger delta?

Thanks to the watchful eyes of the Nigeria security for a job well done. But wait a minute, what clearing Agent came at that time of off the night to clear that goods. If this was meant for Equatorial Guinea, what clearing agent was there to process the clearance. Was Amino Kano Airport a destination port for Equatorial Guinea?
It is also commented that the dangerous goods were meant for the Niger Delta. Well that could be it. Could it not also be for the religious clashes in Northern Nigeria, hence the use of Amino Kano Airport?
