Interestingly, despite the situation, the pilots reportedly remained calm and professionally handled the emergency, eventually landing the plane safely.
The incident has since drawn commentary from popular broadcaster Daddy Freeze, who used the moment to call out what he sees as Nigeria’s excessive religiosity.
He questioned in an Instagram post:
“What concerns Jesus with aviation?One engine malfunctioning is not a death sentence. Religion makes you very dense sha. If you see the comments on international aviation blogs and how they laughed at us en.”
Freeze stressed that while the voice in the video appeared panicked, the pilots’ composure and expertise were what saved the day, not loud prayers.

Social media users quickly jumped into the conversation with divided opinions.

“That was what I said ooo… they were so calm… that needs to be studied. Over professionalism won wound them.”
@kadexquadri1 added:
“Just imagine say na pilot leave wetin him suppose do dey shout Jesus.”
But not everyone agreed with Freeze’s take.
@joseph_u.o_official argued:
“The person who was praying could do only that at that moment. He is not the pilot, and all he could do is pray because that’s his faith.”
@donchichi83 fired back:
“@daddyfreeze, if you were in that situation, you would do the same. Let’s be real—panic is natural. Who else would you call? Tinubu?”
@thezikofuniverse offered a middle ground:
“We need to be careful what we say! I believe in prayers, efforts, and miracles.”
