Virgin Atlantic airline Supports Biafra - Sacks All Nigerian Cabin Crew Members by Deepfreezer(m): 6:41am On Nov 12, 2015
In what looks like a subtle protest against Biafrans and the
illegal detainment of Radio Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu,
British largest carriers, Virgin Atlantic, has reportedly laid
off all the Nigerian members of the Cabin Crew.
The development was made known through the emails sent
to the affected persons by the authority of the airways
owned by Richard Branson.
The Trent gathered that the Nigerian staff were allegedly
given three weeks notice without any severance package.
About 20 air-hostesses were among the recently laid-off
staff members.
Last year, the airline shut down their Nigerian call centre
and laid off all the Nigerian staff in a similar manner.
Branson had at some point said he was weary about doing
business in Nigeria, although the reason behind the most
recent development has not been ascertained as at the time
of filing this report.
In can be recalled that earlier this year Branson took to
twitter in remembrance of the genocide and starvation of
innocent Biafran men, women and children.
The Virgin billionaire also dedicated a full page on the
virgin website to remind the world about the terrible
tragedy and crime against humanity committed against
Biafrans by the Nigerian military junta. This incredible but
heart warming gesture by Branson for the Biafran people
and struggle can be see in the following link (http://
www.virgin.com/richard-branson/a-picture-tells-a-
thousand-words ).
As tension, the talk of secession, and the effects shattered
economy increases, more foreign investors are said to be
preparing to pack up and go elsewhere citing insecurity and
a hostile government is to risky for business. The
whereabouts and condition of Radio Biafra Director and
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is still unknown. Richard
Branson may be the least to worry about in terms of
support for the lease of Nnamdi Kanu for the case taken the
the ICC by a Dutch lawyer.

they are scared of their investment. it's risky to do business in an unfriendly environment.

Richard Branson is more concerned with his balance sheet than with being in solidarity with any agitation. China has a Ph.D in ruthlessly clamping down on dissenting voices and secessionist movements such as the Tibetans which forced the Dalai Lama into exile and despite their appalling record, the UK government rolled out the red carpet for the Chinese President when he went visiting recently because they are eager for Chinese money!

That's the main reason they should sound peaceful and if possible indifferent ....
There will be an end to this, either the country splits (which I doubt) or a peaceful resolution of the issue..

When this happens, will they pack their load back to the country/ies?

Then Nnamdi should renounce his British citizenship as a protest against the British government for being an enemy to a cause he believes in!
