Why can't nigeria Govt have nigeria airways back if we have our own plain it will still help the economy

olufrankfurt:
Iberia Airline is the worst Airline in the World. I flew it from Frankfurt to Nigeria two years ago and deceided never to repeat it again.
No value for my hard earning money, evethough i upgraded to Business class on my way back to Frankfurt. Let them go and try that services with Spanisch citizen.

Its like you are based in Frankfurt? Abeg link up with me cus I'm also based in Frankfurt. Won't be bad to meet another naija odua brother in a foreign land

Sad about what? Onukwu is your middle name!!

As at when they were having free ride with forex, dollar exchange was at 165/$, but when it becomes restricted, it went up to 323/$.
Does it mean this move is actually crippling our economy whilst we are unaware?
Trying to make this economy a mono type is not ripe for us at this stage. My position.

No when dollar was 165 Naira crude oil was high naturally Nigeria was making alot of dollars hence, now crude is low therefore amount of dollars Nigeria is making is less.
Initailly I actually avocated the devaluation of Naira but the Egyptian situation changed my mind, the Egyptian followed IMF/World Bank recommedations and devalued thier currency and it made the situation worse.
My bro we r in this situation becos we did not save for a rainy day, we did not upgrade our infrastructure and we not diversify our economy.

Whats the big deal , who really gains? Its the owners of these airlines that gain.

If those who are stealing our monies had the wisdom to invest part of it here, we would have standard airlines that can operate all over the world and still create jobs and business for the local economy and abroad.

Our sons and daughters who study aeronautical and pilot cant get jobs here because our people reject them for foreign pilots who aren't better qualified and yet cost more to recruit.

We need a rethink of mindset, we should start valuing our products thats what countries in the developed economies do, they value their own and only outsource jobs for economies of scale ( in other words for cheap labor)

Here in Nigeria we outsource jobs for dis economies of scale ( more expensive labor and cost) event though we have serious resource constraints.

Why will they leave when they know they have a huge demand that they can always exploit...
Take for example.
Virgin atlantic ticket lagos-london is 200,000 naira, this means its dollar equivalent at the official rate ($1 =197naira )is $1015.2.
Now since CBN don't have the dollars to give Virgin atlantic forcing them to visit Bureau de change. What do they do? Ans= Hike the fares! Since aboki dey sell dollar $1= 320.....it means $1015.2 *320 = 324,873 naira new fare.
So to cover up for CBN forex shortage, they increase their fare from 200,000 to 324,873naira to be able to buy forex @ BDC instead.....in the end na them go still gain! Customers lose by paying more!!!
