LAGOS — The British government yesterday warned that it would take retaliatory steps against Nigerian airlines, if the federal government bans carriers over fare disparity. |

What exactly is the disagreement now? “What is the distance between Nigeria and Ghana, that foreign airlines are charging between $1,000 and $2, 000 from Nigerian passengers, above what they charge in Ghana,” he queried. Could it be because of the cost of operations as opposed to 'fleecing' Nigerians? I don't really take the Nigerian angle seriously. . .there needs to be further investigation for accurate presentation of FACTS! |

Will Nigeria back down, or tell David Cameron to go F himself? Your guess is as good as mine Nigerian leaders are weaklings, if they can't stand up to the UK. We all saw how they backed down during the ARIK thing - I'm sure they would do the same this time. Nigeria should be the one threatening the UK, not the other way round because the UK has more to lose. More than 75% of Nigerian will NEVER board a plane any ways - so, all the threats by the UK won't affect the average Nigerian. As for investments, we need to look towards Asia, and Brazil for investments - even the UK is begging China to invest over here. May the smarter and wiser country win. |

Economics 101 - Law of Supply and Demand. Even if the number of Nigerians flying from Ghana increases demand in Ghana, the fare would also increase in Ghana. |

If Virgin & British Airlines are known to be insensitive and uncompetitive to fares, I see no reason why there should be a second thought on banning them, except it just the normal brouhaha typical of the Nigerian govt who is fond of licking These two airlines have enjoyed sort of monopoly way too much in Nigeria. |
Re: Britain Warns Nigeria Over Threat To Ban Virgin & British Airways by Nobody: 2:09pm On Mar 27, 2012 |
Ironi: Economics 101 - Law of Supply and Demand. It has nothing to do with demand and supply - and more to do with cheating and monopoly. Let's call a spade a spade!! why should ARIK be asked to pay for landing slots at Heathrow - when neither BA nor Virgin Atlantic pay for landing slots in Nigeria? Don't we have a mutual bilateral agreement? They squeezed the competition out and monopolized the market, period. This has more to do with common sense! |
Re: Britain Warns Nigeria Over Threat To Ban Virgin & British Airways by Nobody: 2:09pm On Mar 27, 2012 |

Ironi: Economics 101 - Law of Supply and Demand. thanks you brother, We Nigerians are not has smart i have thought. its all about Demand, how many Ghanians travels to UK compare to Nigerians?

Omen100: You sir, are an idiot!! Biggest investor in one-sided trade - no wonder why Wole Soyinka said: "A mistake in London is a fashion in Lagos". Wake up, if the trade was fair - I'll be the first person to post it on here, and promote British trade in Nigeria - but get real, the so-called trade is lopsided. I can't deny Nigeria, and the poor masses - we need to wake up and look for countries, which are willing to trade with us fairly - not exploiters. NB: Let's get this thread on front page, and celebrate our heroes and heroines.. Please, post your Nigerian heroes and heroines here: https://www.nairaland.com/900756/notable-nigerian-heroes-we-all#10470998 |

Re: Britain Warns Nigeria Over Threat To Ban Virgin & British Airways by Nobody: 2:57pm On Mar 27, 2012 |
There is truly a disparity in fares. To find out? Check out fares from Abuja-London and Accra-London for the same dates on www.britishairways.com and compare. I guess they'll say the price is determined by market forces of demand and supply. |
Re: Britain Warns Nigeria Over Threat To Ban Virgin & British Airways by Nobody: 2:57pm On Mar 27, 2012 |
Omen100: You're an idiot! Maybe, you need to do your personal research - google is your friend, mate. The so-called educated class in Nigeria - are the dumbest and the most indoctrinated - and it shows in the quality of leaders ruling the country. Clowns with Ph.Ds, who can't practicalize their theoretical qualifications. Get a life, and stop posting your junk opinion on this thread! |

Every foreign company that does business in Nigeria charges a higher rate than else where in Africa... Just check, MTN, DSTV and the likes. Doing business in Nigeria is risky so you have to make your profit asap...... If our leaders can loot their own country dry, why won't foreigners do it to us? |

All these economist wannabes that keep relating the high cost of flight to nigeria to demand and supply, have your heard of economies of scale? The price in nigeria is supposed to be cheaper because of the size of the market. The risk of flying empty seats to and from Nigeria is lower than any other West African country. I think is about how they us Nigerians. Its a good thing the Government is stepping up. They have been taking us for granted for 75 years, so is high time someone put a stop to it. 1 Like |
