I swear they took the right decision, we too like fraud for naija

The Forex policies initiated by that turtle-headed Emefiele are responsible for a lot of problems we're in today.

Hopefully other airlines won't follow suit otherwise Nigerians are screwed.

No Problem. I go soon finish my ironman suit, then I can fly anywhere

This nairaland, too many funny comments

Please this is not a Yahoo boy issue! It has to do with the Govts policy on forex restrictions! Remember you can't use your card with an oversea merchant. Stop being stupid for once, folks!

This is bad. A very respected (albeit expensive) airline like these guys must not leave Nigeria o. Play play the country is falling apart.

This is bad with dire implications.

Yes that serves us right! churches and mosques everywhere..yet we are among the most corrupt nations in the world and the average Nigerian is a freaking scammer! Fuc.k ALL the gods we Nigerians worship!

They r tired of cheating,beaurcratic impediments and corner corner of most booking agencies doing illegal things in a legal way.sort of bypassing and cloning due process

Because the sun rises from the East. And our developers have taught them a lesson forgeting that charity begins from home.

October 1st on my mind.

this may be due to the fact that people use stolen credit cards to buy flight ticket or maybe the bank charges for online payment might just be unsuitable to to them so they had to cut off the middle man.

When you count countries where stolen credit cards are used, Nigeria doesn't even come close to number 20! Y'ALL Should stop it for once! The company hasn't released any statement​.

Only 3 pple know the flight here on nairaland. .... I LIE?

I can book and travel anywhere in the world with Delta Airlines with no issues but when I book to Nigeria na then the palava start. The credit card has to be available at check in and the person whose name is on the card has to be on the flight or availabel during check in (even my wife)

No smoke without fire. Besides, they can do anything they want because the have your president Buhari with them.

Just don't make them to get upset and retuen the old man

SageTravels:
For reasons not yet known, British carrier, Virgin Atlantic Airways has blocked its passengers travelling from Nigeria from buying and paying for their tickets on the airline's website.

A message on the airline's website reads "The way you make a booking originating from Nigeria, Lagos has changed. Customers wishing to book flights with us that are originating from Lagos will not be able to book via our website, you'll need to contact us directly to do so. Please contact us directly if you want to book flights originating from Lagos, Nigeria. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."



An attempt to buy and pay for a ticket on their website proved abortive with a message saying "Any flights departing from Lagos cannot be booked online. Please call our contact center to make your booking".



The Airline did not respond to a tweet by The @Sagetravels inquiring why the development became necessary.

Meanwhile, the airline has just marked its 16 years of flying between Lagos and London with a surprise party for its customers both on ground, at Lagos airport and at 30,000 feet in the sky.

Virgin Nigeria began flying to Lagos in 2001 and has carried around 3 million customers since then. It currently operates one daily flight between Lagos and London Heathrow using an Airbus A340-600 aircraft.

they want Nigerians to apply in persons to ascertain their virginity status.

Ajewealth123:
We abuse everything that comes our way.
Booking of flights with fake cc or whatever illegal means.

Uber came,they started using it for kidnapping and robbing.
Nigerians why always us?

poverty is the reason

Many of us tolerate and celebrate "successful" criminals, so don't
expect any change soon.
Until we get our acts right, Nigeria will continue to be blacklisted
by foreign companies.

Seems they have issues with their system in general. tried booking to NRT to LHR and its just errors upon errors.

Retro respect, Since Sir Richard stepped down, that airline has gone to shit....

I don't blame them, you will be amazed at the amount of fraudulent activities involving credit cards that Nigerians involve themselves in.

A very close friend of mine who also happens to be a nairalander was telling me about how a response to an advert for exchange of currency, then there was the question 'Is it a black account or white account?" This person didn't know what this meant and then the intended buyer then goes on to say is the money from romance scam. My friend got scared and terminated the transaction cos he didn't know who he was dealing with and this person only registered on Nairaland in May. It could have been a yahoo boy.

Nigerians and scams. God help us

ALL I SMELL IS FRAUD..!!
SEE WHAT OUR FRAUDULENCE HAVE CAUSED US.!!
