Ethiopia has Ethiopian Airlines. Kenya has Kenyan Airlines. A lot of less well-off countries have their own airlines. Even Rwanda has its own airline! Why can't our government revive Nigerian Airways once and for all?

The same people using tribalist reasoning to argue their point here will now be crying when they experience racism, aren't you smart enough to know that the only people who feel their tribe gives them some superiority over someone else are either psuedo-intellectuals who have nothing else in their life to be proud of and of course the chronically idiotic

I think being the richest man in Nigerian and has been very successful with a lot of businesses he is in the right position to do that. Billionaire against billionaire will have understanding rather that millionaire pegged against billionaire like Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic. Go and figure it out, dude!
hahaha now you sound funny. Billionaire against Billionaire you said. So no one should dabble into the business unless you are a billionaire right?

Thats right. Our people no get joy.

If Nigerians run ur business, you go understand. Everything is money. Not service quality.
Re: That Act Of Discrimination By Virgin Atlantic Airways by mrmofasa(m): 4:54pm On Nov 22, 2015
If this is true, then we should do a #boycottVirginAtlantic.

This is unacceptable and reeks of double standards. Why would you make money in Nigeria and not employ Nigerians? Where is the local content?

Spread it around. Copy our most active social media users. Use Twitter. Use your network.

FAAN, Ministry of Aviation and President M. Buhari should hear about this.

Till then, Nigerians should #BoycottVirginAtlantic

Expatriate firms and their rubbish!

There is nothing wrong in laying off staff to save cost. What is wrong is doing it arbitrarily. It's as rife a case as the impunity and negligence of MTN communications.
Due notice must be given to staff to keep them abreast of matters that would affect them indirectly or vice-versa. A month or less @ least.
But they are aware of the absence of sanity in our country, then they take advantage of our negligence and stab us behind the back like Judas with their unfair treatment of locals.

People like to play tribal card in 9ja.

Otherwise, despite her alleged sins, Stella Oduah as Minister of Aviation, would never stand akimbo and allow VA get away with this.
Re: That Act Of Discrimination By Virgin Atlantic Airways by thewatcher2020: 1:07am On Nov 23, 2015
Nonsense! Nothing portrays discrimination in the whole of this bombastic composition.

I have the privilege of having flown Etihad Airways countless times, the Nigerian operation of the Airline at MMIA is the worst thing i face on my itineraries. The workers there in Nigeria are the worst set of humans you wouldn't wish to encounter in your dreams. They are vultures! When you get to Abu Dhabi to connect your flight to wherever, you begin to wonder if it's the same Airline due to the high degree of respect and courtesy accorded you overseas by the same Airline with workers of different Nationality other than Nigeria.

That said, the Nigerian crew on Virgin Airways are very notorious in smuggling drugs for passengers due to greed for this rubb.ish quick money syndrome the nation has been plagued with over the years hence need to cut off those negative elements from the reputable organization lest it loses credibility- internationally. Once again, let it be known that this can't lead to any Diplomatic row whatsoever, so those of you affected, go and look for something else to do with your lives. What if the Company became insolvent? you would have forced it out of insolvency state because you are Nigerians? Please take a hike sluggards. PS- I still hate Nigerian crew and staff at Airports. Animals, always ready to fight with customers at the least provocation, now they've been laid off they want to whip sentiments from the media.

No ethnic card would fly here peeps, get yourself another job and remember to treat people right hence you would be in the labour market every 3 months after every new job. The airline said it already "Poor Customer feedback necessitated the downsizing". The Airline respects her customers so much unlike you the Nigerian crew and staff so please shut your keyboards and keep your gutter trap mouths shut perpetually on this case. Customers pay money for services, they deserve respects from service providers irrespective of the situation. Go to saner climes and see how customers are treated even under a disrespectful or tensed atmosphere, Customer service providers maintain dignifying composure.

People should forget this line of thought. It worked for them doesn't mean it will work for us.

We lack sufficient probity, discipline and law enforcement apparatus to make a national airline work. We have seen that time and again. How many times would we attempt to resuscitate a moribund Nigerian airways?

We don't need another economic drain pipe. let businesses capable of running airlines do it and pay decent taxes.

Op i think that is an internal affairs for the company. If laying off of some worker will maximize their profit, then there is nothing wrong with that or were you also sacked?

Perhaps! However, if it is true that certain employee were targeted based on their ethnicity, that should be addressed by the appropriate authority or regulatory body in charge.

The summary of what you've written is that it is impossible for Nigeria to have a national carrier. Nothing's impossible when capable hands are on deck to execute a project. Nothing's impossible. The only problem we have in Nigeria is gross corruption.
