The map you posted shows the flight traffic over Africa as the most organized while the
ones outside Africa look "chaotic".
Talk of shooting yourself in the foot.

No direct flights over Niger which is the shortest path from Europe to Africa. Aircraft are taking a detour around Niger .

Think first before talking nonsense.

They can pass through Chad and Mail.

I don't want to believe you don't know how to read and interprete maps.

The fact that West and Central Africa are losing air traffic is a cause for plenty concern. What you consider to be "organisation" in flight routes is actually a dearth of air traffic due to closed air spaces in troubled regions of Africa. That is going to translate to dwindling revenues in the aviation sector and increased flight fares in countries that are remotely affected by the restrictions being imposed by other countries.

And what you consider to be "chaotic" flight paths, translates to increased aviation activities in those regions which leads to increased revenues for those regions. As it stands, International flights originating from Nigeria have drastically reduced because the flight paths have been rerouted to Togo and Ghana, to avoid a situation where civilian commercial planes will be shot down should they venture into restricted air spaces.

It is bad news for us as a country! Very bad news.

Why didn't you think before posting?
From your incoherent rant, it seems you are trying to say that flight path are now longer.
How does that make it a chaos.
Isn't it better to type in your native language or pidgin?

You type all this English because of selective photo OP uploaded?

Before anyone can take you serious, can you show the number of flights in Nigeria before and after Niger closed airspace situation?

Can you show an international flight company that closed down in Nigeria because of this in the past few week?

Below is the flight track in Nigeria and some other African countries, there is no evidence to show flight reduced because of the situation of Niger closed airspace.

I don't want to believe you don't know the meaning of "chaos".
During covid-19, there was little to no traffic in Lagos.
It will be foolish for someone to have tagged the empty roads as "chaotic".

If you want to say air traffic has almost disappeared, that is exactly what you should say.
In English, words have meaning, you can't just attach your own subjective meaning.

Going by this your map, where is the next flight path after a plane glides over the Chadian Air space?

You're still very distant from the crux of the matter.

Study that map, do more findings on what effects countries like ours are suffering due to the closure of Air spaces in military controlled countries currently. Then come back let's have this conversation.

The crux of the matter is the wrong headline.
The map requires no study.
If you still don't get it even with my analogy, then there is nothing to discuss.

It's just semantics. Whether the plane glides or flies or whizzes, what's the next flight path after the Chadian air space?

Can’t you see the flight path if you exclude Niger?

Lol.
From the indications on your map, once the planes from the Nigerian air space are over the Chadian space, where do they go next to be able to connect to European countries?

Good sense of reasoning should make you understand that poor economy is the reason you have organize air space.. But come to think of it, ever wonder why there is no Plane Crash in the unorganized areas you mentioned..

No reasonable airline will consider Chad-Libya route. Libya is not safe.
The safest is mali-burkina faso route. However, it is still a long haul which will consume more jet fuel and that will lead to increase in ticket fare.
One way ticket from lagos to London use to be 3m but now 6m.
If burkina faso and mali decides to close up their air space it will be more difficult for Nigerian-europe bound flights.
