Guy, you just spoke my mind. If he indeed spoke those words, most Sane and Sincere investors would seriously Think Twice before coming to the Country. We are already under the yoke of massive unemployment, the investors that should Remedy the situation are being Scared off. Each day I ask God of all countries in the world to be born in, Why should it be Nigeria? I taya!

My guy, forget that thing, who says other investors would not come, the size of the Nigerian market is very appealing, if Richard doesn't want to play the politics, others will

I am definitely not in support of the corrupt politicians but enviromental scanning is one major thing to do before embarking on the journey

Wow !

This is pure and true feelings of emotions coming from one of the richest man in the world.

He surely must have had a taste of our shabby and grossly corrupted Nigerian governmental system.

And I also thought someone called '' David Mark'' recently made cheap utterances about easy and lowly going Nigerians to stop making misguided and harsh remarks against the government officials.

So with this Richard Bransons statements,is this remark closely related to or can it be termed as being a positive one as against David Mark's!

Nothing inappropriate goes unseen in this era of limitless hitech communication age especially on the global and political terrain.

Nigerian government are corrupt and it is clearly visible by all even the blind and deaf can see and hear it,so what's in the big deal for anyone to say something is bad when its easily noticeable that it is.

David Mark and his cohorts should allow frustrated Nigerians vet their anger and unsatisfaction about what they and the global community can see and experience.

Richard Branson God will continue to make you bigger for spewing for the minds of affected poor Nigerians.
Good riddance to bad rubbish of a Nigerian badly corrupted system.

Mr Richard Branson am suspecting you,so you thought that nigeria was Freetown,were you can just come and harvest money and take it to Britain,as a businessman,am sure that if you were making profit from the deal, you will not have told us?

Billyonaire: Yes, me again. I am a Businessman and if you can succeed in the Nigerian business environment, you can succeed anywhere. Quote me, I said Richard Branson made a wrong business decision buying a national carrier, he should have prepared to deal with politicians. His business would have been successful if he followed business tenets and come into joint venture partnership with a Nigerian Citizen who knows the terrain.

He made a wrong business decision and you are not anywhere near his fortune as the Business adviser that you think you are. terrain indeed! the corrupt terrain I guess.

SOUR GRAPES. a blood sucker lands on its host and proceeds to try to suck blood out of its host only to find out that the proboscis of the host is stronger than his and his blood is the one getting sucked as opposed to he doing the sucking. yawnnn. they are all vultures. no sympathy

Richard Branson should admit that he made a wrong business decision buying into a NATIONAL CARRIER, buying into National carrier entails dealing with politicians. He was supposed to come under "me" or "you" on a joint venture partnership to flag-off a domestic airline with international appeal like Arik, Dana, Aero etc. What was he thinking buying our National Carrier ? Are we some banana republic ? Serves him right.

Yea, think you made a point....But still, it is only those that haven't had the opportunity to visit other countries that did't know how messed up Nigeria is in terms of business, especially when setting up small-scale biz.
I have seen peeps in other countries that have established small-scale biz with like $10,000, about (N1.5m), and within years the biz is expanded as they continue to flourish, meet their financial needs with ease.
Our environment is a wild jungle for biz because of this LAWLESSNESS that has given birth to all the evils that thrives in that society...

Mr. Richard, where were your business/investment consultants and advisers when you decided to partner my government via our politicians? I think you came with dubious intention in the first place!

collins123: Nigeria, What a shameless night-crawling, blood-sucking, havoc wrecking witch!

What a waste of her her virginity. Stupid 51 year old haggg! Jezebel! dancing azonto by the fireplace while her thatched hut already caught fire!!!!!

and also giving birth to filthy and corrupt children!SMH!

Pls re-read your post and spot the differnce.....lollllllll

So he came to make loses Abi? or was Virgin not providing services in Nigeria while they were here? not a sensible post!

Truth is bitter,but best b told,dis bunch of 1999-to date political class is d most corrupt dis nation or indeed any oda on d face of d earth av ever had:they breathe,think,eat& sleep with corruption.Its little wonder dat its mainly d "Koras"& Chinese wt no scruples wen it comes to cutting corners,pple who bribe 1st b4 strategising on biz plans,survive here.If u can't offer all manner of govt officials bribe,u are dead in biz.I stand to b corrected,but d likes of Dangote,Adenugas,Otedolas,Jimoh Ibrahims wt all their billions,will not survive in any decent biz environment where laws are implemented,rules adhered to& open,transparent biz accounting insisted on;they just wud look like fish out of water& quickly pack shop,if some of them are evn lucky not to b seeing d prison walls.In dis kind of climate,if u can't offer corrupt pple bribe,risking d health,safety& lives of innocent pple in d process,u will find it extremely difficult,if not impossible,as Branson did find,to carry on your biz.

I thank you for seeing my point, I am not saying our politicians are saints but am saying He was too greedy to come to take over my National Treasure as a foreigner. Did he expect not to deal with corrupt politicians ?

so sad that pple like you have access to the internet

The true definition of the Nigerian politicians....

slimdiggi: so sad that pple like you have access to the internet

can you explain why it is sad that he has access to the computer ?

The true definition of the Nigerian politicians.... Dream Killers

You should react to my write-up and not insult my person because given the opportunities Branson has he wouldnt have been less successful. Believe me when I say, with my business acumen, if I was born in UK or USA, I will be richer than Branson who is holding stakes in companies. I run business is a cash economy with no flexible lending regime and everything I own isnt mortgage, in essence, every pin i own is cash paid for. so mind your speech and dont commit fallacy ad homonium.

fankasibe: Even the Devil himself would be very suprise at the rate of our corruption and must have learnt never to compete with Nigeria leaders.

Haaaaah!! Can't stop laughing..u mean nigerian politicians are far ahead and more devilish than the devil himself

sucre cruz:

which one be JONA again that issue na OBJ and FANIKAYODE make una leave JONA out of it

...so OBJ and FANIKAYODE are Ghanians abi?...what stops Jona from revisiting the issue?

Lord have mercy on this country. All i knw there is still hope.

See how hatred has made some people. What concerns GEJ with Richard Branson, those things happened during OBJ time. Mumus

oyb: meanwhile jona and co keep up with the BS of interested foreign investors. . .

but i cannot find the original article sha

and that english get as e be in some parts

Ignorance no good at all.

sorry richard. Our politicians are very good @ fvcking virgins. They like fvcking virgin businesses up. And your business name did not help matters too. VIRGIN? That was why they fvcked you up. You ma for drop something na. Na so e be o

Billyonaire: I thank you for seeing my point, I am not saying our politicians are saints but am saying He was too greedy to come to take over my National Treasure as a foreigner. Did he expect not to deal with corrupt politicians ?

Our politicians including ur Oga ie GEJ are a Bunch of corrupt bastards.
They all deserve to ßξ tied to trees and shot..
Greedy pigs...

maclatunji:

Sure! And what steps has GEJ taken to reverse the wrongs of his predecessors especially with the fact that he was Yar'adua's Vice President? Going by your bold declaration that the crisis reached its highest heights during Yar'aduas tenure, GEJ must be a close partaker in whatever happened.

Even if he was Saint Joe. It has not occurred to him that bringing back Richard Branson and "righting the wrongs" would put his investment drive on top gear.

What is worse than inept leadership other than dogmatic followership!

Correct bullshite talk.
Oya clap for yourself!

buzugee: can you explain why it is sad that he has access to the computer ?

what did he think Richard came to do in nigeria? Nigeria Airways was already dying,he decided to help our national carrier...if some pple are ignorant of some facts they shouldn't think becos they have access to the internet and write sh.it

u are getting it wrong my friend in this case of our beloved naija corruption cannot be erased in an instant it has got to be gradually. Even in GEJ's team there are lots of saboteur in his Government for instance take some one like Faruq Lawan honestly I held that guy in high esteem but look at what it all turned out to be . Get me right I am not saying GEJ is good either but even if a good person is there correcting the nation will surely take time due to prolonged corruption in the Nigerian Governmental system. That is just my point. If I may even ask why did Richard Bronson waited this long to air his pain? I tell you for sure He is also corrupt but you know He cant beat our politicians to that. Those statements of his are plots to comeback. If there were to be apologies rendered the guy go come He is just a business man.
