Heaven helps those who can identify the good airlines in Nigeria oh!
Trust Nigerians. They have DE-CODED all the airlines in Nigeria ALREADY!
In Nigeria, it is recommended and expected that airplanes must NOT be older than 20 years to fly!!
We will now take it one step further by giving each airline colour codes for easy identification for Nigerians to patronise or avoid like the plague ACCORDING TO THE AGE OF THEIR AIRCRAFTS.
Any airline that scores GREEN is SAFE to fly. Fly with them only.
ORANGE is RISKY to fly with. You are on your own oh (OYOO)!
RED is A KILLER! DO NOT FLY (DNF) WITH THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!
Scores will be:
Less than 15 years old……GREEN.
Between 15-20 years old…..ORANGE.
Over 20 years old…..RED!
