Virgin Atlantic Pulling Out Of Nigeria In Support Of IPOB . by Deepfreezer(m): 2:16pm On Nov 22, 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. It’s been 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 th
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.
