Something critical in the economy, long over due is happening right now! And Dr. Allen Onyema is pushing it!

First, Tinubu moved certain department of CBN from Abuja to Lagos, in a show of smart understanding that the show is actually in Lagos rather than Abuja. Then suddenly Dr. Allen Onyema got a reprieve and his application for a London air route was approved.... He subsequently crashed the price within days....a first of it's kind in the aviation sector. Kudos to Keyamo....abobi I smell your push!

Now here's the gist. Forget politics, politicians and their shenanigans.... Nigeria is long over ripe and over due for what Dr. Allen Onyema is doing..... Here's how!

When I left Nigeria sometime many years ago, I had to first travel hundreds of kilometers to Lagos, where I ordinarily shouldn't be, for my outbound flight! Risky, Tiring and waste of scare resources and time. Now imagine all I had to do was hop on a plane from my city and vroom off I go! Let's doff our hat for Dr. Allen Onyema, Agu nnaaa ODOGWU ka ibu! This is the kind of News we want to hear, not one where Efcc is chasing a full grown tief on broad daylight, while the people he stole from and their govnor is helping him to escape justice. I no mention anybody name ohhh! Because I know certain people like their oppressors more than good things!

As air Travels is gradually been revolutionized through private sector initiative led by Dr. Allen Onyema, I also expect the maritime sector to experience it's own decentralization push from Onne, Koko, Sapele, Calabar, PH, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Onitsha etc. This is how a country Develop not concentrating everything on a narrow strip of land. Unlike air Travel, the maritime travel is much more better poised to scale up quick and faster as all the Coastline is actually connected!

Air Peace now connects passenger from Abuja, Asaba, Enugu others to London
Air Peace now connects passenger from Abuja, Asaba, Enugu others to London.

Following the success of its Lagos-London route, Air Peace now connects passengers from Abuja, Asaba, Benin, Enugu, Owerri, Warri, and Port Harcourt to London.

Passengers can now fly for from the listed states to Lagos and then connect flights to London through Air Peace with their luggage arriving at Gatwick airport. I tell you for certain, Dr. Allen Onyema just implemented a USP that would help him fight off unfair price war with Western airlines with huge war chest! While they concentrate their take off from Lagos or Abuja, Airpeace will beat them off on about 60% of travelers coming from outside Lagos or Abuja! This is what I call masterstroke!

The airline which introduced the service via its X handle stated, “Embark on your London adventure from Abuja, Asaba, Benin, Enugu, Owerri, Warri, or Port Harcourt! Seamless connections via Lagos. Make your journey smooth and convenient.”

Nigerians have expressed excitement following the development, stating that Air Peace would have an advantage over other carriers on the route if the service is seamless.

Apostle Stephaine with X handle @Gloria_Destino stated, “Kindly make it as seamless as possible. On ground staff to escort passengers from domestic airport to Intl’. Staff on ground at departing domestic airport should have the understanding that the passenger being checked-in is enroute an international flight. Pls ensure to lose ends.”

Another X handler user with name
@Bilionaire_Bish described the development as a good one.

“Airpeace listens. This is a game changing move. If I don’t have to book another flight to Lagos or Abuja before flying out then Air Peace can continue to have my money,” he stated.
Barely two weeks after Air Peace commenced Lagos-London route, all foreign carriers reduced fares on the route by over 50 percent.

Airlines such as British Airways (BA), Virgin Atlantic, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and others have continued to slash fares on the route as competition is seen to drive price war.

Air Peace had pegged its return economy class ticket at N1.2million, and
N4 million for Business Class, thereby slashing fares on the route.

Before the local airline’s maiden flight to London, BA and Virgin which operates direct flight from London to Lagos charged between N3 million to N3.5 million. Other airlines cost an average of N2 million for a return ticket.

Currently on the Lagos-London route, an economy class ticket on Egyptair cost ₦585,620; Air Peace – ₦816,130, British Airways – ₦981,848, ⁠Virgin Atlantic – ₦1.1m, Royal Air Maroc – ₦569,422, ⁠RwandAir – ₦679,070, ⁠Ethiopian Airlines – ₦677,824, Turkish Airlines – ₦807,408 Air France – ₦1.1m and KLM – ₦1.1m
