GenBuhari:
Madam,
A national airline is a matter of national pride and prestige.

When even small countries like Ethiopian and Kenya have national airlines, Nigeria needs to have one to be taken seriously in the community of nations as an African superpower.

Our lack of Airline means Nigerian travellers have to pay more than other nationals to fly to and from Nigeria and are given poor service and disrespect by Airlines of certain countries.

GMB‬ Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.


I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.

“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

A welcome development...

This will surely be a source of income to the FG and reduce our capital flight and boost our economy, if properly managed.

Change is when we start patronising our product over foreign product
Change is never a scam
Change is a process
Change is dynamic
Change is painful from the beginning
Change is when leaders are working for the masses
Change is inevitable
Change is when consequences have equal action
Change is when wailers wail all the time
Change is a gradual process
Change also have enemies
Change is a "group thinking" result
But at the END we will all be proud of our country

Change is here to stay

Seriously.
Government properties are seen as no man's properties
When will this useless government realise that restructuring Nigeria is the path to prosperity and security
True Federalism, privatisation etc are essential for growth and development

I personally don't like this!! National carrier for what exactly?

Pmb should stop reminiscing about Nigerian Airways ojare, that is dead and gone..

No matter how noble the idea is,it's almost a sure bet that it would fail, Nigerians are not nationalistic in our dealings..

Government should restrict itself to creating enabling environment for private airline businesses to thrive not "owning" one...

My 2k.

oliver003:
Why PMB is departing from all what he said during his campaign . During campaign he was asked about bringing back the national carrier, I watched that interview myself and his response was that his concerned on how to develop railways system because the railway will benefit poor nigerians than the national carrier. Had he finished developed the rail systems?

misplaced priorities,but on the other hand those railways will never work because transport companies will sabotage it

@ omohayek ... howdy? we are saying the same thing but in different ways....

Just wondering why we can't just stop let the past be & face the future...

cana882:
exactly bro... many obstacles impeding development in this country. We have natural gas but no power supply. Not because it's impossible, but because of some Forces which when confronted, screams injustice...

modath:

Are Kenyans & Ethiopians like Nigerians?
Gen B, you seem not to get the issue, I would love a national carrier but our people don't know how to care for things that they don't have personal/vested interest...

cekhoe:
it's sis, not bro,anyway , when I see certain things I am more convinced that our problems are so many from tribalism to relgion to greed and personal interest, if we can eradicate all this,only then can we be a nation, because I for one don't believe we are a nation just yet,maybe paper but in reality, not at all
