Yes it will work. I dont know who you are. But whatever he has done will work.
Carry your negative prayer and frustration and get out of Nairaland.

The investors who trusted this guy with their money must definitely see what other airlines aren't seeing.

Now this is commendable from the young handsome man who did not allow the distraction of an average Nigerian girl get in his way...

He was very much aware that the future was technology, investment and personal development and not FEMALE....

He has keyed into this and already reaping the rewards.


God bless him for saving every "2k" to pursue his goals.

don't you know that usa pays good money as minimum wage ?

a certain former actor who left Nollywood to do security guard in usa , he's quite tall
he said that the money he makes in one year in usa as a guard is much more than the ones he made all put together while acting in Nigeria.

many of these new investors only see the potentials of the Nigerian market if things are working normally BUT always fail to take into consideration the current economic realities and problems on ground . even those airlines that have been in existence for years are now finding it hard to cope BUT I do pray this guy makes it . Because the challenges on ground rights now doesn't favor most new entrants

Beautiful and a big congratulations to you Mr. Afolabi.

You beat me to this plan but I ain't relenting.

We need more budget airlines in Nigeria in the mould of "Easyjets and Ryanair".

Easyjey dey learn work. Ryanair na die, imagine flying to another country with 13 euros but covid really hit them

That’s business. He may only have 5% stake in the business or less, but he is the face of the business. That’s all.

Are you a professional or a beginner at digital marketing??

Can you run ads and all you need is support in getting products and funds for your ads?

Are seeing this and you reside in Lagos??

It's not good to criticize, but no investment banker can acquire fleet of airplanes. How much be their salaries?

I strongly believe that the guy raised funds through crowdfunding or encouraged some venture capitalists and angel investors to believe in him.

That's the only legit way he could have raised such funds to chase his dream. Let's be honest, floating an airline is capital intensive.
He dry leased the aircrafts.

I used to know Yorubas , at least few ones i have met to be political. Your case is different, you are not political, you are really stupid. So you think we would be pained because of someone who decided to put his reasoning together for good use? We commend someone who knows what he's doing. Your kind is the reason why we say yoruba are snitches. He does not know you, you just seen him by banners and rather than you putting your rackets together , this crap is what you have to say? Are you even literate at all?
So Ibos dont have Airpeace and the others? Do you by chance know how many Igbos have airline industries? The capital oils and the likes?

In ibo land, there is competition , nearly everyone is a millionaire or billionaire. They did not do it by acting like you. They did it with hardwork and not you glorifying those who made it.

Ebere m n'emegi. Shameless human being.

""You are not pained""? And you wrote all these grin ...

Some investment bankers are loaded. Brian Rose was an investment banker in USA. Made lots money quit cuz he was not being fulfilled he moved down here to London set up podcast where he interview people on events happening now he is impacting people knowledge wise i heard he wants to be London Mayor next elections.

I like it when people try to create opportunities for others. Good luck to him my worry is the system yardua government pursue Richard Brandon out of nigeria because he refuse to pay bribe to renew his airline operating licence

I sincerely pray from the bottom of my heart that it works out for the young man.

The heart of man is desperately wicked. The so-called tycoons in the business are such wicked bunch. It took one Indian movie for me to realize that.
Re: Babawande Afolabi Launches Green Africa Airline, Acquires New Airplanes (Photos) by fostermd(m): 6:07pm On May 16, 2021
The front guy Afolabi worked as an investment banker and also previously worked at American Airline.

The airline is funded by Hedge funds,venture capitalists and institutional investors who have great confidence in him and Nigerian market which is grossly undeserved in aviation sector.The goal is to make the airline a low cost one.

They previously ordered 50 Boeing 737 max but cancelled the order due to problems and 2 major crashes of the model.They have now placed a confirmed order of 50 brand new Airbus,fuel efficient mid range aircraft worth around $3 billiin dollars.This is the single largest aircraft order by any Nigerisn company.

They have their game plan and the investors are very confident. I am.one of the early partners of the airline.
