You are not correct, am average Southeastner can afford it and that's their target, if we can pay as much as 15k to travel for Xmas or Ester even on normal day to day activities that we do in terms of business and the rest, is not a big deal for us, we southeasterners well surely go for it
Quoting off point, they are talking about security and not affordability. If armed men drag you out of the VIP, then, no story. You are a very important person, your ransom will also be VIP. that's the point he is making

Ekesons Makes History with First Class Cabin in Road Buses

A unique niche has been created in the public transport sector by E Ekesons Bros Nigeria Limited with the introduction of a truly First Class travel experience on some of its fleet of buses.

The buses which are already on ground and offering services, are fitted with a segmented First Class section which provides personalized audio visual facility enabling each passenger to select and watch whatever he or she pleases throughout the duration of the journey.

Each passenger in the First Class segment of the bus is also entitled to exclusive power outlets that enable him or her to charge a laptop and a phone.

In order to enhance the First Class comfort, the First Class section of the bus offers more leg room, leather chairs, and an ambience that is not any lesser than what is provided in the air bus. Aside the air conditioning system for all passengers in the bus, there is also refrigerated drinks and an in-built toilet.

Managing Director of the company, Engr. Chijioke Ojukwu stated that the introduction of the service which is first of its kind in the country for public transportation is meant to add value to customer experience.

According to him, “we have done this in so many ways, apart from improving safety, we have also been able to add more comfort. Currently, as the company stands, we have been able to bring in the first of its kind VIP Executive to the coach section. “So we now have coaches that will give you VIP experience which in Ekeson we call it B-SWAG. B-SWAG is a product we coined to suit both the old and the young, it is a bus system that give you far more leg room and more space for those who would want to sleep and also an on-board multi-entertainment system just like you have on the aircraft for long distance travels where you select your movie on demand, your choice of music, your choice of books on each seat.

“It is so personalised, you would not want to miss having that experience.

It is the first ever to be on the coach system in Nigeria. Apart from this, there are still so much to enjoy, the refreshment, the meals on board, the cabin crew- both male and female, the cabin hostess are well trained and are equipped to make the travel very comfortable. People now travel in comfort and in style, when we say in comfort and style, we mean in true comfort and in true style”.

The Managing Director, who is a frontline COREN (Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria) certified Engineer, added that the company’s growing number of customers are getting valuable services on all routes it plies.

Luxury buses always have their security dressed in mofty, especially those ones traveling at night.

However, I think some of the security men hide their identifies when they know they cannot stop a gang of armed robbers.

I think the rate of violent crimes is gradually going down since Yahoo-Yahoo became a way of life in Nigeria.

The biggest threats to these buses are bad roads not necessarily security. You see, South East has some of the worst federal roads in Nigeria. If those buses ply Enugu-Onitsha expressway twice, their story will never remain the same.

I just left Nigeria yesterday. I was in PH for a month. The way crime is reported in Nigeria, one would think that it is a war zone. I went to Imo State (Isunjaba) through Owerri. I was in Anambra and Enugu states for social outings. I even ran into F-SARS on three different occasions in Rivers State. In all, my one month experience didn't leave me with any bitter taste. I had 24/7 electricity with rare blackouts occasionally not exceeding 15 minutes. Never once did I use my generator. This is in PH.

It makes me wonder which part of Nigeria where all these doomsday crimes happen. If I should chronicle the crimes in US, most people will not go near US Embassy. I am not saying that Nigeria is good or bad, but Nigerians are the ones making Nigeria scarier than it is.

This the most important. Unless all his VIP buses will be traveling with at least 5 well armed Mobile Police Officers, if not, it won't fly in today Nigeria

Am sure all those one will be put in place. But for security reasons that's have to be left secret.
