This is one thing I find interesting. I have friends from other African countries that are less economically well off than Nigeria and they always heap praises on their countries saying good things about it (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania. Ghana and Mozambique). In 2018 I met some ethiopian cabin crew members at eko hotel and they told me much about ethiopia. I told them I had only passed through the bole airport but never been to the city. Over time, something took me to some of these countries and you could tell that nigerian cities (abuja and lagos) are more economically and socially advanced than these cities. The point I'm trying to make here is that these people are much more patriotic irrespective of the shortcomings of their countries. Back to nigeria, as a people we are so full of hate and always trying to bring down each other. Ethiopians are so patriotic that if you visit addis ababa and try to rent a house they'd charge you a foreigner more. The housing agents will hardly ever compromise on this. They'll never allow a foreigner establish a business without an ethiopian owning at least 50% shares in the business. An ethiopian will hardly ever fly any other airline aside from their national airline. Last time I travelled to addis from nairobi on kenya airways, the flight was at 11:00pm and I tried to get an afternoon flight but the agency told me ethipians won't grant non-ethipian carriers daytime slots just easily. On another occasion I was planning a safari trip and was trying to decide whether to go the masai mara in kenya or seregeti in Tanzania . I reached out to two people I knew in Tanzania and they both told me to do it in Arusha (Tanzania) giving me reasons and telling me how its crowded in masai and more expensive in kenya. I reached out to a former classmate who is from kenya and she told me to do in kenya and how the nairobi national park in part of the city and told me about other aspects of the city I could explore. Here we are with the liquidation of nigerian airways in 2003, no airline has gotten it right. Nigerians are now even turning themselves to marketing and gloryfying these foreign airlines that even place their worst equipments on the nigerian routes. Are we still enslaved ? I've always believed that cost of travelling the Nigerian routes are over priced by these western carriers but here we are glorifying them and bringing down the investment an individual is trying to build. |

abnot: Nobody is glorifying foreign at the expense of Nigeria, if anything it is humiliating they charge Nigerians so much and provide us with such bad services. I am just pointing out the level to which we have sunk and if you do not think we have sunk, then with due respect you are burying your head in the sand. Secondly, this is in-house constructive criticism, this is nairaland not "worldland" despite the fact that we may have foreign observers. it is one thing to represent Nigeria to ousiders, it is another to delude ourselves amongst ourselves and pretend we dont have a problem. You defend your own from outsiders but you must be able to speak the truth amongst ourselves or else we get comfortable with mediocrity and are shames in the international community which is what is happenning. It is exactly the malaise of the Nigerian that has led to a situation where a so called "giant of Africa" has no reputable international airline. Many have come and gone, Okada, Kabo, Sosoliso, Bellview, Arik (which I had great hopes for) but they all fail because they approach aviation with the Nigerian mindset of accepting low standards and cutting corners or simply as an avenue to park ill gotten gains without the required expertise. You will NOT gain international recognition, if you operate with a lower standard even if that low standard is acceptable in your home nation. The world is leaving us behind in many facets of our lives, this is just one. Nigeria should be the hub for aviation in Africa, we are uniquely positioned at the centre of Africa but Ethiopian Airline, from a country 1/5th the size of Nigeria is the largest and the most internationally recognised Airline in Africa. it's not putting Nigeria down, it's just stating the facts. You can see it as Nigerian bashing or a wake up call...the choice is yours. I am responsible for what I say not how you hear it. The humiliation of not even being allowed to evacuate our own citizens home with our own Airline should be a wake up call that we need to up our game!!! To change course, you 1st have to accept the path you are on is not the right one. |

Re: FG Takes Airlifting Of Stranded Nigerians From Air Peace by abnot: 6:51pm On May 22, 2020 |
isthatso: You’re also right from the perspective you’ve just described . From the little I know about aviation , Nigeria does not need more than two or three strong airlines . Also shameful that some airlines operate just two or four aged fleet . There needs to be a better regulation that will see through the emergence of stronger airlines. It’s a shame that Nigerian airlines have failed to adopt best practices by hiring professional managers and building something they’d be proud of years later. They are all fragmented and competing among each other for the domestic space whereas the foreign airlines are repatriating over $2bn annually. They had better introduce regulations that will make our airlines more competitive. The minister of aviation is pursuing a national carrier project which is not likely to succeed. |

abnot: There was a time Nigeria banned aircraft above 20 or 15 years, I believe it was after the bellview crash but as usual, we don’t maintain or enforce laws. I’m sure some big man lobbied to have it relaxed. |
Re: FG Takes Airlifting Of Stranded Nigerians From Air Peace by abnot: 8:12pm On May 22, 2020 |
isthatso: At least stronger financial regulations forced banks to merge. Imagine a regulation forcing airlines to have at least 15 aircrafts to be able to qualify for commercial operations and a maximum fleet age of 15 . They’d be forced to merge or look for investors . Look at how medview disgraced Nigeria by operating a scheduled service to Gatwick with only one aircraft. The aircraft got grounded and passengers got stranded . Same with arik air : they started well but later became a mediocre airline with no regards for Client/operator contracts. Today airpeace on the domestic route has no regard for passenger ticket timing. You buy a 1:30pm flight ticket and they depart hours later blaming it on poor airport infrastructure and weather. Although I once read that they were replacing their fleet with a modern embraer . |
Re: FG Takes Airlifting Of Stranded Nigerians From Air Peace by Nobody: 9:56pm On May 22, 2020 |
abnot: One of the problems with Nigeria is that airlines these days are floated by people who have made their fortunes by cutting corners and. Or following due process, so they take that attitude into the aviation industry. Nigeria doesn’t suffer from a lack of regulation, the problem is enforcement. Like I said I am sure they banned aged aircraft after the bellview crash 1 Like |

Re: FG Takes Airlifting Of Stranded Nigerians From Air Peace by abnot: 11:01pm On May 22, 2020 |
isthatso: I still believe the regulatory agencies are not doing enough . One of the reasons the pension funds/assets have grown to its present levels is because of strict regulatory oversight . Same reason the banks have also emerged much stronger over the last 10-15 years . If not for the strict oversight activities of pencom, ndic , cbn they’d have also been weak and fragile like the airlines. I was listening to hadi sirika some months ago and he said Nigeria airlines go and buy very old planes which generates a lot of money for them via ticket sales . They have fun as the money comes in daily till the aircraft is due for C-Check which they are usually unable to afford . Then they dump the plane with the MRO facility and look for another plane to take and continue the cycle of owing their service providers until there debts pile up and they go bankrupt . A country of two hundred million (Many active travellers compared to other African countries )people located at the centre of Africa Deserves better than what our local carriers are offering us. The minister of aviation believes the national carrier is the only way out since the current breed of operators have refused to come together and build a strong industry . 1 Like |
