Abrantie: Yes u are right to some extent, but the Ghana govt don wake up small. See as Atta Mills dey halla David Cameron, i liked the way he told Cameron that Ghana wont legalize same sex marriage and nobody can force them to do so even as Britian wanted to stop their shitty aid to Ghana, And as for the white only restaurant my friends in Ghana confirmed the story but as the government became aware they sealed the place the next day? So u can see ur govt is trying too. Its high time we Africans wake up and not allow these white people take advantage of us all the time, |

JIL:I never new Brits were that silly. I used to hear that Brits were very gentle people but this comment said the opposite. After reading through it ,I could only say that lad is an ignorant bastard who doesn't know an inch of what business is all about. However, the govt shouldn't allow the airlines to be profiting unnecessarily from the passengers traveling within that route. The Brits will never stop this their archaic subtlety. They are just too cony and cocky! |

JIL:I have never felt pity for any victim of 419,not even one. I am no fan of 419ers but that i think there are more important things to worry about than 419 victims. At the root of every 419 is greed. This boy must be one of those who looted shops during the recent riots in London. That is his idea of hard work. |

This ode doesn't know British people and companies make billions of pounds transacting business in Nigeria and through Nigerians. He should go and ask BA or Virgin themselves if they want to stop coming to Nigeria. The truth about the internet is that everyone has the opportunity to voice his/her opinion. This includes smart and intelligent people as well as dense lards like him. Abegi komot! Malu! |

Nothing will come out of this. What about the other airlines? This is mere politics. Even if the market is here, it costs more to do business in Nigeria than in Ghana,hence the Ghanian cheaper fares. 1 Like |

The problem is not from the airlines, its the bloody taxes the govt tacks on the air fares that makes them expensive. The taxes are too high and there's no evidence that the tax is being used for anything useful. Our airports are horrible, toilets smell and don't work, airport workers harass passengers etc. In MM2, if you flying to PH, ABJ or wherever, after buying your ticket, you have to pay a PASSENGER PROCESSING CHARGE of N1000 b4 you get to the departure lounge. This is criminal and should be stopped. I dont blame the airlines, I blame our govt for poor regulation of the industry. 1 Like |

Paying through the nose while using any of those airlines has been an issue well overdue! This has to do with the psychology of the ordinary Brit. They see us (Nigerians) as second class being, when in the real sense, they are. Don't get me wrong when I say, an average Brit has nothing upstairs compared to an average Nigerian. The white rat here talk about scam. Where did the black man learn these things from? THE WHITE RATS of course, They perpetuate these acts, hide under, and blame the blacks. The issue here is BA and it's partner in crime being caught pants down, what has internet scam got to do with it? They have taken us for a ride for too long, because of how we've degenerated ourselves in public light. They believe our representatives cared little about our welfare and plights; They can not stand if it's citizens rights are violated (locally, say less on the international scale), but little do they know there is time for everything. Believe me when I say an average Brit has nothing upstairs! Their level Plagiarism is second to done, and yet they come out with little scores in class. I believe, the only thing they are good for is to produce babies without fathers!! It might interest you to know that in present day England, 57 percent (un confirmed proof) off the kids here don't know their fathers!! The level of immorality is nothing compared to; yet this white rat makes noise here! African and other international students contribute sustainably amount to sustain the British economy, and yet they have nothing to offer you, yet this white rat talks rubbish. Anyway, they are known for talking rubbish, and rubbish they will keep on saying. How I wish our leaders can continue on this good note, only there and then, will we as a people regain our deserve respect both home and abroad. But for now, let those rippers pay up and reduce their fares, or back off!! |

I demand , let the Chief Lawyer of the Federation file a class action against BA and Virgin. BA and Virgin are into price fixing big time and they know the game works until caught pants down. If BA and Virgin feels they are not guilty of the allegations, why are they sending high powered lobby to the presidency for fine reduction barely a day after NCAA revealed they would be fined? GEJ and co should be reminded that Nigerians are watching, the WHOLE world is watching, lets do the right thing right now and not later! If Arik or any African airline was found wanting by British authorities, by nw you would be seeing them parade on BBC One trying to rub it in as usual. Let NCAA not stop there, an investigation of the following airlines should also be underway 1. Air france 2. Royal Dutch-KLM 3. Lufthansa |

DerMeister:If that is actually the truth, are BA and Virgin airlines the only airlines using the airport? I quite agree with you on the poor organizing of things at the airport and some behaviors worth to be called criminal are carried out in there but it is up to those who can intervene to do so through any means possible. I think it's about time the Brits airlines and other developed countries who are civilized and organized place sanctions on the airport until the govt do something about those problems than ripping passengers off. This explains the ulterior motives of the airlines which only concern themselves about the huge profits. |

GEJ can afford to stand up to them because, the Brits have nothing to blackmail him with. He has not stached any loot there. |
