branson is telling you the truth, what they do in the north or abuja, they sit down to destroy the western niger and if you notice, i have never ask the east to join us. because i believe they should be on their own.. that way nobody is bring policy that will destroy business. this is what we have had for 50 years.. so branson is feeling what the yoruba people have felt for 50 years.. the other nigerian create policy to destroy our people business. So when I am saying we leave them. I know what I mean. So when we are not under abuja, nobody wake up in abuja and make policy for us. They make bad policy to destroy business. that what they do.. When some people shout south , our people would never agreed because the east too are going to make policy to destroy our business. and you can see Goodluck doing it.. He is from the east and have nearly closed down all Yoruba business .. So you cant tell our people to join the east to form a country. they would not do that.. even I just show you ibadan airport. the person in charge of this ministry which is making this bad policy, is an igbo woman. So you can not be telling our people to join the east to form the south, so they are better off , been alone.. so what most people feel if for them to be separate from them. because we dont want bad policy any more. they make their own policy, we make our own policy. |

Ughhh! If these GEJ supporters will just stop their knee jerk defense at the mention of his name, we won't have pages and pages of argument. What does it matter during whose tenure the business was conducted. . .the main point here is THERE IS A PROBLEM!! And The problem is this - NIGERIA IS NOT CONDUCIVE FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS. You can not go around saying you are courting foreign investor when that problem has not being addressed. It is that simple! So please, please stop with hair splitting. By the way, making your font bigger than normal does not mean you have a point. Just sayin' |

Billyonaire: Richard Branson is right but he is sounding emotional about business gone bad. The OBJ administration was marred by corruption. I will say that Richard Branson wasnt patient enough to allow another administration come in so he can table his grievances before pulling out. After all, other Airlines foreign and local Airlines are still doing business and get Return on their investments. My advice is, if you wanna do business in Nigeria, become Nigerian in your business methodologies.Become Nigerian by being corrupt @ d xpense of d masses d way these multinationals are presently doing, abi? |

moonraker: FRESH AIR!!! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS BLIND HENCE YOU CAN'T SEE THE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS OF GEJ WITHIN ONE YEAR IN OFFICE for your sake, I will reproduce some of his achievements as follows: In Finance. The finance ministry is carrying out bio metric evaluation of federal civil servants to reduce waste. The checks revealed the pension scam of over 120 billion. There is the new integrated online payment system which helps the minister monitor transfer of public funds. Our foreign reserves have risen again to 37 billion dollars. There's the proposed Soveriegn Wealth Fund to cater for excess oil sale proceeds. In Energy, a lot of reforms. The president is keen on transparency and thus has set up probes into the sector viz KPMG AUDIT and AIG IMOUKHEDE. The president sought to close the window of corruption by removing subsidy but the cabal misled Labour into a protest. That notwithstanding, the reforms are still ongoing and the full deregulation of the downstream sector being vigorously pursued. Last week, the FG had concluded the PIB which remains a landmark legislation that will revolutionarize the petroleum industry. Refineries are undergoing repairs and an American company, VULCAN is to build six more new refineries. In roads, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works, dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation of Ibadan -Ilorin, ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha, 9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, award of Afikpo-Okigwe, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass to mention but a few. In Transport, massive reforms at the ports. Sanitisation and reduction of operating agencies to 7. Introduction of 24 hrs ports operation. Ongoing Construction of light gauge train railways across t4 cardinal point of the federation In Aviation, massive reconstruction of major airports in the land, Enugu airport is undergoing total rehabilitation. The domestic wing of Abuja airport is also being reconstructed with expansion of roads and car parks. Same fr the international wing and the kano airports In Education, establishment of 9 new federal universities in less than 1 year. Constructed 2 new campuses of the Nigerian law schools in Yenagoa and Yola respectively. Launched the Almajiri schools for education of itenerant Islamic pupils in the north wFhich Buhari and other northern leaders abandoned. Increased funding to almost 400 billion to education thereby setting an all time highest record. Reinvigorated the inspectorate oversight of schools leading to the revocation of some licenses from universities. Executed the landmark upgrade of university lecturers retirement age from 65 to 70. In agriculture, for the first time in our history, we have a clearly defined agricultural policy which is targeted towards maximum utilisation of cassava for growth thru the launch of the cassava bread campaign. The policy is intended to reduce our reliance on imported wheat so as to encourage local production of cassava and it's conversion to flour for bakery. The FG has in less than one year eliminated the middlemen cartel that fed fat on fertiliser distribution at the expense of local farmers. Now through deregulation reforms, fertiliser is now accessible in the open market. he has also embarked on massive construction of silos and has increased import duties on the importation of rice in order to encourage local farmers. The efforts of the minister has been so appreciable that the world bank assisted with over 50 billion Naira for fertiliser redistribution scheme/ silos. The CBN has also set up a 500 billion loan scheme which is to assist farmers. In power, the NIPP has been revived with the subsequent refurbishment of Afam, Alaoji, Calabar, GEREGU, Omotosho, papalanto power plants. This has led to the addition last December of 4,000 megawatts from barely 1700 to the national grid. To address the problem of distribution, the 18 successor companies have been slated for privatization. The media is already awash with news of the proposed privatization next week. The reforms include the review of tariffs in order to ensure a cost reflective tariff that will encourage private sector participation in the building of gas plants. Already, this has started yielding dividends as SPDC has commenced processes towards building a gas plant in IMO state. |

People and their bigotry. They want to blame ALL their ills on the govt meanwhile the article clearly said "Nigerian Politicians" in Nigeria. The dude was referring to when the airline started and ended, anyway, what Sir Branson said is true. |

It is like that with all these crooks&criminals in Govt. They do not av Nigeria interest in their hearts. Even though GEJ was not on seat when the joint venture was concluded , but there is still corruption in Govt and they are not doing anything to address it. If the venture was contracted in this regime , the worst would av happened. Dont protect GEJ. |
Re: Richard Branson- Nigerian Politicians Are Insane, & Dream Killers by Elueme: 3:01pm On Jul 29, 2012 |
I quite sympathies with mr Branson but I will ask why he chose to voice out now when he had the ample time long ago.. As an advocate of uprightness with legendary bravery he would have exposed this corrupt process and face whateva comes forth and am sure he would have triumphed.. Branson was beaten in his own game only to be crying foul wen he didn't stand a chance again. If I may ask how did he buy air Nigeria ? He was part of the corrupt BPE as chaired by Nasir el Rufai .. Branson could probably been jailed if he tries the circumvention of due process in his home country as he did with some greedy fellows in this country... |

The present situation is what you get when STU-PID Nigerians chose to elect someone who could not even manage the affairs of a small state to become the President of the biggest nation in Africa. That is why his First Lady is an official embarrassment and he is just living in denial of his administrative incompetence. Whether Virgin Nigeria failed during the past Administration of the ruling party is not the issue here, but the fact is the kleptomaniacs of the same corrupt ruling party are still in power. And as long as President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan cannot probe and prosecute his corrupt sponsors in the ruling party and private sector, he is just their stooge. The fact that his former boss who is an escaped convict is one of his advisers, then he is a disgrace to Nigeria. And the fact that criminals are being rewarded as ex-Niger Delta militants, because the president is scared to arrest and prosecute them, he is a coward. If the president claims that we have a well equipped Navy, and yet the Navy cannot prevent foreign oil tankers from stealing our crude oil, then he is a liar. Giving N1 - N10 million to young men and women for startups as your answer to the problem of over 20 million jobless youths is just STU-PID when you have ignored the problems that crashed our local textile industry and other industries. The local manufacturers are still lamenting and instead of addressing their emergency, you are looking for an image laundering scheme that is based more on wishful thinking than economic realities. What is going on in Nigeria cannot happen where there is a real government. What we have in Nigeria is not a democratic government, but a political cult of kleptomaniacs qnd their accomplices and beneficiaries. As I have said before, Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would have been better working in a zoo or for the Nigerian Conservation Foundation and not being traumatized as a politician and government administrator. And he is too ashamed to admit it. God help Nigeria. |
