I came to kano yesterday from lagos through Arik Air, But my reaction when i entered the plane was so disappointing. We were not more than 15 on the plane and the plane can contain more than 100 passengers. I wonder where this economic recession might take us to.
What's t's cost from Lag-Kano?

I agree with some of your points my bro. But if God opens a way for you in this recession, you will change your language. I will still say this bro, some people are making it big in this recession. I mean people that were nothing before. And recession is not and shouldn't be an excuse for sleeping with landlord or prostitution.
yes I agree with recession not been an excuse for adultery n prostitution #isaynotothat. But this recession has eaten deep oooo, very deep oooo. Its well, God bless our hustle oooo

THE LORD REBUKE U AND PUT THAT MADNESS ON U IMMEDIATELY

AMEN. Next time someone used such a dirty and profaned language on you, that simple line of THE LORD REBUKE YOU IS GOOD MAN. Keep using it, I know it works 'cos I'm a bible scholar. IF they think social media is a place where you can blindly make away with bad habits, people like you will put sense into their heads. I hope the boy knows the meaning of that weighty line you wrote and apologizes.

Is this the first time you're taking Arik to kano? Kano is not really a popular destination via air recession or not.
It is actually.. if he had flew with azman air, it would have been a full plane. People are avoiding arik air now because of their poor service.

It's not recession that is affecting Arik, it's their service delivery that is letting them down.

I'm sorry addressing you as bro. No mind me o. We will all be fine by His grace and when there is casting down for people, as for us, there will be a lifting up for us. We will keep praying for our government, we like it or not these guys will be there till 2019. Make God just speak to their minds and show them the way out of this saga. Respect madam.

Actually, there is a limit to what you can survive. We will likely not survive this as a United Nigeria. The reasoning is simple. We are in recession, but there is no Plan and blueprint on how to come out of the recession. We might face depression. Then, it will start with tenants not being able to pay rents, they become homeless. Then idle housewives will start 'begging' landlords in their bedrooms. Daughters will assist their Dads as breadwinners by 'hurstling'. Sons will loose jobs and start doing 'anything' to survive. Oh...Its already happening.

You want my advise ? Join 2Face. Lend a voice.
Sir as a potential Economist,we're already in depression . if something is not done soon masses will begin looting and their will be mass suicide, it has happened before in the world in 1929 but thanks to Frank D Roosevelt who put an end to it,you know how Louis XIV was deposed.It is happening in Nigeria now,companies are going into bad debts.People are converting their money and pushing it overseas.Thier is more crave for dollar as the sun rises. even if their should be a blueprint now, it'll take another 18 months for the results to start showing up.

Revolution is looming.brace yourself!!!

Re: Recession Bites Hard, My Experience On Arikair Yesterday by teddyberry(m): 11:52am On Feb 01, 2017
This has nothing to do with recession. Arik airline has turned to be the most unreliable airline in Africa. Always postponing their flights or cancelling it entirely . I booked Overland days ago and all the seats where booked.

Oga, what you don't know you don't know. If I tell you farmers were balling december, I know what I'm saying. I am an executive and I have a farm. I see people around. You think it's by just sitting in one four corner glassed AC chilling office? Oga go outside you will understand. I was to buy a generator from Julius Berger yard last year sept when a young guy walked into the yard to pay 3.2m for this type of jeep i post below. We got talking and exchanged contacts. He's a Sheffield Uni masters degree graduate and na full time farmer now. I asked him what he wants to use the jep for, he said just on my farm. Imagine what he makes from the farm alone.

Everything is not about recession. With all the bad reports about arik service I am suprised you still chose to fly with them. Maybe others have choosen to boycott arik

Thank you...I stop flying Arik air immediately I have alternatives. I used Air peace from Owerri to Lagos last week and the flight was completely full; two airplanes left Owerri in the space of 2 hours

You should count yourself very lucky at least you could afford to buy an airline ticket and board a plane be it first class, second class or economy class.

There are many of us who can not even afford a three square meal let alone smell airplane. We do not even have any gainful employment. we live from hand to mouth. But you are flying British Calendonia or is it Arikair!

I doubt it is much to do with the recession as much as their service. Try flights like air peace and see how fully booked they are. I for one had abandoned at least 2 return tickets I had with Arik on a local flight when they canceled flights without letting passengers know. I also swore to walk to my destination rather than ever fly with them again.

It's mostly about what they bring to the table and Nigerians are getting wiser.

I did not see this before I posted but we seem to be on the same page. I am booking air peace to ph tomorrow. Arik is dead in my consciousness and that of many other discerning Flyers

Re: Recession Bites Hard, My Experience On Arikair Yesterday by Nobody: 1:07pm On Feb 01, 2017
That plane was scanty for two reasons;

1. It is Arik air. People hardly fly arik air anymore due to their proven incompetences.
2. The route is one with very low traffic. Who flies from Kano to Lagos? The day of the week is also a factor.

The remotest cause of the low paronage is the ongoing recession. Board a Lagos to PH Air Peace flight and see patronage. Na small go remain sef una go lap.

I cant farm, I have no interest in farming. I hate seasonal permutations. I just need the country to be returned back to where it was, where everyone can prosper based on their chosen profession. Your assertion is that of a man who doesnt have a discipline but delves into any seasonal business to survive the times. That is passive income. We need all forms of income and their sources to remain as stable as they were before Anti-corruptor destroyed the fragile but productive era.
