Richard Branson had been weary of doing business in Nigeria ala the days of Virgin Nigeria and it is not unconnected with the issue of high level of corruption which is our bane in this country. this has nothing to do with Buhari administration. it is either we kill corruption or corruption will kill us.

According to fresh reports emerging one of British largest carriers, Virgin Atlantic, has laid off all of its Nigerian Cabin Crew members.

Emails from several affected former staff, has revealed that Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic Airways has laid off all their Nigerian cabin crew.

It was gathered that the Nigerian staff were allegedly given three weeks notice and no severance package irrespective of their length of service.

The number air-hostesses fired were about 20 and in 2014, the airline had closed down their Nigerian call centre and let go of all the Nigerian staff.

Owner, Richard Branson had at some point said he was weary about doing business in Nigeria, however it is not certian if that is the main reason for the recent layoff.Virgin Atlantic Airline Sacks All Nigerian Cabin Crew

When your dull president is moving around telling international communities that Nigeria is corrupt, broke and the worst country in the world you expect other people to trust her citizens? you can blame any tribe if it makes you feel ok but dont forget your dullard demarketed Nigeria in the first place.

in jubilation and I
wanted to do more when I received MESSAGES that
SHOCKED me from MTN.... It said... "You have successfully
Purchased your

Shortly after, Alerts msgs came in, which was text msgs

Notwithstanding your sentence that lacks clarity, these two sentences quoted below clearly showed the timing throughout the passage. 'Owner, Richard Branson had at some point said he was weary about doing business in Nigeria'

'The number air-hostesses fired were about 20 and in 2014, the airline had closed down their Nigerian call centre and let go of all the Nigerian staff'


Therefore, where is the logic in your statement 'he was weary about doing business in Nigeria' and your fallacy/assumption that the business doom started under the present administration?

I pray Labour union intervenes, it is wrong to lay-off/fire people for no reason.

Labour can't do anything.

Crazy Crazy Crazy..

The Presidency should react to the "Branson being weary of doing Business in Nigeria"

This Sends a wrong signal...



I think the report meant to say "wary" not "weary", in which case Mr Branson cannot be faulted IMO.
Re: Virgin Atlantic Airline Sacks All Nigerian Cabin Crew by eleko1: 2:50pm On Nov 06, 2015

Leave Nigeria totally? shocked. It can't happen na, they only laid off crew members, they still have their customer service agents and all other Nigerian staff in different departments. I think crew members are contract staff, not sure though.

Fake journalism! The owner made a statement long ago before the incidence, it has nothing to do with the affected staff. Also to those commenting, what has Buhari got to do with this?
You just love defending lies. Ok Virgin no sack no Nigerian staff. Case closed. Construction companies too no sack......

Pathetic! In the last 6 months,unemployment has been on the rise;what kind of co-incedence is this? All we've been hearing are people being sacked or laid off from their jobs. What's actually going on? This is getting too much;government needs to find a way to halt this trend.

The item in bold is the reason some people are fired or cannot get jobs.

Hahahaha. Well, they can't totally stop it but they can do something here, employee rights have been violated. You give them 3 weeks notice to pack out but if they were to resign and tendered their resignation letter 3 weeks to the date they plan on leaving, they will be served a lawsuit. It is only in Nigeria this kind of crap is condoned.

I go to careers section and read stuff about indians abusing Nigerians working for them. What nonsense! Things they will not try in their home country and these Nigerians as many as they are can't speak up and they remain there forming loyalty and all what not. Anyway, this is Nigeria where we don't know how to be our brother's keeper, every little thing becomes a tribal matter. We love to push things aside and make it look like if it happened to someone from that tribe, it's ok, they deserve it. Until we become one Nigeria we can't put an end to this.
