Those that will lose their jobs because of this shouldn't worry. My sai Buhari is cooking something and will be ready for the good people of this country soon. Please endeavor to apply for the N-Power ASAP . It can accommodate all of you. Thanks. |

Contradictory write up, as usual, full of historicals and sentiments but lacking in salient truths about the real situation. You wonder why other African countries have national airlines and Nigeria doesn't, question the 'pocketisation' that led to its funeral but acknowledge the airline was murdered by pimps, prostitutes and partying politicians. So where do you stand and how can you fulfill your desires for a ressurection when all the underlying elements remain till this day. What is your solution then. My view is that, as not every man or woman should be in the institution called marraige, not every man or woman should get a college degree to make it in life, not every country should have a national carrier or an airline industry because it is abundantly clear, whether government or private, the airline busines just doesn't work in Nigeria or for Nigerians and this can be extended to most top end services and allied industries such as travel and tourism. We just donot know how to do it. We donot have the financial capacity across board to make it a viable business (currently it remains elitist and no transportation means can afford to cater for only a section of the populace when it has to compete with rail and road for passengers and goods). We are not ethical and honest enough to run airlines (because worldwide profit margins are always tight and the industry remains the most vulnerable means of transport to oil price changes). We donot have the expertise to handle the industry (how many universities offer any course related to the industry, how many aviation schools are there, how many hangars, how many simulators, etc). And we donot have the administrative, logistical, political structures to broaden the industry. How many private airports, airstrips, helipads. There is not a single one I know. No single building in Central Area, Abuja or Marina, Lagos has a helipad. Why, they will tell you security. The same security that held radio stations and telecommunications in the hands of central government for years under military rule for fear of coups. These are the things that must be changed and established in a unique country like Nigeria before a viable industry can be created and a national carrier established. And even then how many developed countries have government running airlines? 2 Likes |

claremont: I could never have imagined that, this level falsehood could be easily peddled in this age of unlimited access to information. I just bought an Emirates ticket two days ago, and barely 24hours to the flight, no one has yet called to say they have cancelled any flight. So I don't know where bloggers and infantile news site are getting their information from. Gone are the days when Nairaland used to be the 'go-to' place for the most up to date information...today, it's a place I can barely recognise. 2 Likes |

dejavubobo1: Every government since independence did it in every commercial sector in Nigeria. If Nigeria Airways existed till this day, it will have continued. So we should be glad it is dead and not there further eroding our public finances. If you are an undisciplined man, it is pointless going into business. It is better you seek employment where you will be compelled to perform. Nigeria is not a disciplined nation so we cannot have national businesses. |

Lalasticlala Seun, pls be guided.. the news is false. Emirates operates 3 daily schedules out of Nigeria, 2 from Lagos, 1 from Abuja, they canceled one of the Lagos schedules... I was at their church gate towers office in Abuj CBD yesterday.... no iota of truth in this.. United announced months ago & it made FP back then, seem sensationalism is the way to go. Cc Fulanimafia, beht why nah? Why did you have to burst SeverusSnape 's wailing wanking wet dreams? Name calling & irrational recidivist hate that he lives for guarantees he never check for facts and his MO is already a given. He lives for negative news to soothe his agonized soul..and you should have allowed him have that consolation prize..... IB's loss is one they can't ever get over, the leg over is Ronaldo/Messiesque so I try to be the bigger person. He can mention me from now till next year, as long as he keeps it civil & never runs afoul of the rules, he's good, if he takes it to the sewer, the button is there!!

Nigeria Airways is not the only enterprise to have been embalmed, mummified and buried by corruption in the public sector. Just sad though... @OP referred to Ethiopia as a "tiny" country. Ethiopia is much larger than Nigeria, is the 2nd most populous country in Africa and it's airline is the largest and best in Africa. The Ethiopian (nationalist) spirit which is not as corrupt as that of their Nigerian brothers ensures things work. Bole International Airport is a lot cleaner than our MM Airport. Ethio telecom (govt owned) provides GSM services (not perfect but at least works). They are a lot less endowed in terms of resources and wealth but you almost weep when you compare the countries. The growth rate has exceeded that of Nigeria. Truth is Nigeria has no business being plagued by the ills of other Sub-Saharan countries but corruption has almost destroyed us. |
