If you’re on Twitter you’ll also find that he has a friend going by the name Christopher ogbonna also telling lies that Airpeace/Nigerian police/FCCPC are persecuting his wife and using that as a ground to seek asylum in the United States

Why is he not looking relaxed and happy?

He’s 50 years old and May probably just be getting married for the sake of it

Atiku's Intel and Saraki' Soceity bank - shot fired.
This man is just trying to prove to Atiku who owns the party. Cos I see no reason why he should make that statement because it's directed at Atiku and to Saraki as well.

Atiku never sold intels. He only claimed to have sold his shares to dissuade FG from going after the company.Indirectly he still has his stakes

trutharena:


Wike just throw jab at Atiku and Saraki lol. This man has balls and I kinda like him.

PDP, Power!

\Talking about saraki

The moment Wike started making noise about zoning and the need for the ticket to be zoned to the south south I knew that he was pursuing a presidential ambition. I will rather vote APC than to vote Wike. This even tells how rotten Nigeria is that a thug wants to preside over the affairs of Nigeria because he has access to the rivers state treasury.

If the fixed deposit shows a date later than today, one would still need to explain the source of funds. Does that not fall back to a second Deed of Gift? Does it not raise more questions than answers?

You are complicating issues. I don't get how someone will work so hard to get an ITA in this present IRCC circumstance but cannot discipline himself enough to leave the money in the account. If you get the PR today will you travel to Canada empty handed ? Or did you borrow the money and present as gift deed and return the money to the owner after submitting your application ? If its so say it and let the experienced members of the blog advice you on how to go about this. You just opened a nairaland account today to bring up an issue that can be clearly avoided. If you want to play the IRCC system with another borrowed gift deed it may backfire as they are asking you for proof of funds because they suspect a foul play.

hahahaha, somebody who hasn't left his village calls me unexposed ,i am quite sure i have traveled to more countries than your whole family put together.
Once again i refer you back to item Number (2) read to understand not to respond, small children of this days.

Talking about BA, for the record if BA delays its flight which causes a passenger to miss his connecting flight ,BA would put you up in a hotel and rebook you at no additional cost.

From the statement issued by the COO they offered to rebook the emir and his entourage on the 7am flight to abuja and the 9am flight from abuja to kano but his COS rejected the offer insisting that the 6:15am flight from Lagos to kano should be held back till they arrive. So clearly it was difficult to manage this situation

pufframmy:
how do u book your hotel bro

holiday inn rosebank website.

kizonero:


We await your good news bro. Pls how did you do your hotel reservation directly and what is the hotel name. Did u pay for some days out of the day's u want to spend in SA.

Got the passport yesterday. Was issued same 3 months validity multiple ent visa. I went to holiday inn website and made the reservation with my card. However the hotel cancelled the reservation some days later. I dont know why as they didnt notify me thus my guess is that they attempted to charge the card and it declined due to the $200 limit on naira denominated mastercards

Bornready:
What hotel did you use for reservation? I just got my passport back and visa denied due to unverifiable hotel yet I paid and showed proof but it was a hostel. Could that be a reason?

No idea. Last time I made a hotel reservation at holiday inn rosebank. The hotel cancelled it after 3 days because they were unable to charge my card. My card was a niara card with the $100 monthly limit. Those guys can deny an applicant with 100M and still put insufficient funds as reason.

badtlimo:
please what are the documents you submitted and how much did you have in your statement of account

The same documents I submitted in March when I was issued a 3 months validity multiple visa.
-intro letter from employer
-self intro letter
-passport /data page
-hotel reservation
-flight reservation
-bank statement with 6.2M at start and 13.7M at end .

I’m yet to get the passport delivered though. Depending on the outcome will plan my holiday. Want to rent a car and drive to Maputo and mbabane from j’burg. So if it’s issued I’m hoping that it will be a multiple entry visa else I’ll just go chill in Zanzibar

badtlimo:
which embassy did you submit.. I think all Lagos appointment date has been booked until next year

Submitted at VFS lekki phase 1.

Got an email that my passport has been handed over to UPs. Submitted application on the 16th of November . I guess with the resumption of SAA they are processing visa applications within two weeks now

Nonsene. I can't remember ordinary akwa ibom renting planes to start ibom air. This government is plagued by bad policies because it is populated by quota system officials.

Ibom air started operations by leasing two CRJ900 aircraft. The ncaa act states that you must have a minimum of two aircrafts to be able to apply for AOC. The AOC process takes time and if you recall Airpeace outrightly purchased 7 old aircrafts to kickstart the AOC process . At the end those aircrafts were grounded for more than one year because they were not able to get AOC for a long time. During this time they were spending money maintaining these aircrafts and paying parking charges and staff with no money coming in. Under conditions like this it is better to lease an aircraft till you get the AOC . If Sirika buys old planes for a start they’d criticise him. If he buys new aircrafts and grounds them while waiting for the AOC process they’ll also criticise him for being wasteful. Next them you travel through Lagos airport (domestic ) you’ll see three new generation Boeing 737 aircrafts with the NGEagle livery. They’ve been parked down for months now waiting to secure an AOC

That's because you went to the ghetto. Addis is beautiful! The clubs, restaurants, hotels, villas it is nothing like a war torn country. There's poverty of course but there is money as well.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wKhEEmgzb4

Oga I stayed at skylight hotel at Bole road. There is nothing ghetto about there and spent good 12 days going to work at UNDP office located next to olymbia round about . Not everyone on naira land is a low life. Addis Ababa is a backward city when compared to other cities of east Africa that I’ve been to ( Nairobi , Dar es salaam and Kigali). Even some diplomats I worked with during my stay attested to how difficult it was living there and how they keep their families in Pretoria / Johannesburg. A city where you can barely find an ATM machine on the road. The taxis you find on the streets are similar to what I use to see in northern nigeria in 1997/1998.

Yoighaman:


Means he needs to get a good PR team.

In the music industry, Davido, Burna, Wizzy etc. have all immensely benefited from good PR and Marketing teams.

He needs to get one as well.

Sadly he doesn’t care. Most passengers only pass through the terminal buildings of the airports and they judge based on what they see. On the other hand Sirika has spent most of his time investing and upgrading safe critical systems across the airports which everyday passengers don’t see . And he never showcases these things Fx . This is why only aviation professionals hail him while the masses bash him . He doesn’t believe fancy terminal buildings are a priority in the absence of safety critical systems

fidelmarshal199:
A man with honour, We are waiting for our own commander in chief to do the same.



The fact that they have a booming airline doesn't makes them a developed country. Their unemployment is alarming and a greater percentage of the citizens lives below the minimum wage.

Ethiopian airline is not a representation of the country. I used the airline many times but went into the city (Addis ababa) for the first time in2019 and saw/experienced how backward it was . The poverty there is similar to what you’ll find in war thorn countries .

PROUDIGBO:
This man just persists in flogging a dead horse! Why not make Air Peace the national carrier since it’s presently the largest airline in West Africa!? After all, we’ve seen gov’t backing and depending on a private initiative presently....Dangote! So why can’t they extend such encouragement and support to Air Peace!?

air peace has a lot of issues which are yet to be addressed although there are signs that they are being addressed. One it’s ownership structure - 100% Allen Onyema. Even dangote sold 20% stake in his refinery to make it an institutional project and to guarantee some level of government support. Secondly Airpeace started out by testing the waters . For this they used old aircrafts to enter the market and gain some market share before updating their fleet. Their fleet modernisation program started in 2019 and they’ve receive 4 or 5 modern aircrafts this year . It may take another 3-4 years for them to be able to phase off all their older aircrafts and begin to enjoy the benefits of operating a young fleet. Thirdly they do not have an MRO for their growing fleet . I hear they are working on one now though. Then they are yet to secure a technical partner which I al so believe is in works. So due to these issues and other political considerations the government may not feel the urge to adopt as a flag carrier.

Yoighaman:


Experts in the aviation industry say this man is one of the best aviation Ministers Nigeria has ever had, we understand he's got very high standards and zero tolerance for mediocrity, shabbiness and incompetence. Operators in the industry fear and respect him at the same time. You dare not operate if not in conformity with set procedures and standards. We can all see this in the safety of our airlines, the man is really trying his best and aspires to take the country to an enviable position amongst her peers in the world. More power to his and the team's elbows. We wish them all the best.

You’re right. The money bags of Aviation industry ( Allen Onyema , yunusa) they respect him because he is a high standard man. He has said it at many forums that Nigerians do not deserve the kind of service they are getting from these operators. For instance the Airpeace CEO said Sirika challenged him to invest in new aircrafts and he listened while the man helped get them waivers and concessions to encourage them. The only problem is that he is not a media / press person thus a lot of negative comments about him have been left to fly

DoctorDree:
Lol
Starting has never been a problem
What about maintenance

With the ownership structure maintenance will not be an issue. It’s not a one man business. It will be better to own 5% stake in an air nigeria that (if successful) can displace an Ethiopian airlines from the Nigerian market than to own 100% of a three 22year old aircraft airline.

Furious1:
You're not from Rivers State Oga, ppl like you are plenty in this ama. One was trying to convince my guy not to go to Onitsha during one fire incident, im say Onitsha don burn down, he didn't know I'm from Rivers and my guy is from Imo, Onitsha wey we de go 24/7
I just asked him " there are 65markets in Onitsha, which one burn"? The man shut up, na Kano person.
Person wey just from north come, im never even travel around

IDENNAA:


Of course , nobody is inferior to anybody but Anambra has done very well , given the challenges. Though, we can do better but Anambra is performing way better than many states with oil money. I think Anambra should be praised.

Definitely

MI6Surveillance:
Ado Ahmadu, I already have your number, I don't need you to give me a fake one. You have been bursted, now try another tactics. Illiterate aboki from terrorism infested state.


[s][/s]

I believe you’ve read through 8 years of posts yet didn’t get my correct name, didn’t get my valid number and still calling me an illiterate lol . You’re probably the illiterate here

MI6Surveillance:
Hahahaha

Aboki you have been bursted, stop deceiving yourself no wonder you were so fast to claim indigene of Rivers. Go and discuss the terrorism ravaging your backward useless worthless state


[s][/s]

If you want my number ask for it or better still go through my entire posts like you’ve been doing and leave the owner of that profile you posted out of this

IDENNAA:



PH airport and Lagos airport have to be self sufficient, in case you don't know. These airports are thriving because they are situated in a commercial nerve center with many multinationals companies situated in their state. Additionally, Lagos is like the gateway to Nigeria and also a former capital, whilst PH is the crude oil capital of Nigeria. Yet , if we pull out all facts then you will be shocked to learn Anambra is not necessarily doing bad, especially in education, poverty reduction, health and road infrastructures. I can tell you boldly that Anambra best Rivers and Lagos in Roads connectivity, Health, Education and poverty reduction.

That’s not the point since the poster had nothing to say and decided to make it a state issue I had to remind him that in Nigeria today but my state of Origin and state of residence are in no way inferior to anambra that’s all

MI6Surveillance:
Aboki you just wish we will believe that you are from Rivers state and living in Lagos.

This is your phone number and tru caller has exposed you aboki cow rearer for who you are. Please deny this number of yours

Leave Anambra alone and face your backward useless state and your terrorism, leave airport issue because except you want plan how to attack it as a terrorist, you have nothing to discuss about.

Anambra international airport has come to stay as the best airport in Nigeria aside Abuja and Lagos airports.

[s][/s]

Lol phone number that I stopped using in 2018 is what you’re posting here . Your stupidity knows no bounds. Which means you went through all my posts just to have something to justify your continuous attacks on me .

JohnBullMySon:
Majority here are very unwise nonentities. Any small thing they quickly jump to shout "they hate us", before making enquires on the reason. Its just a waste of time discussing anything of importance here.

Lmao the hate and bitterness is at another level lol

JohnBullMySon:
People who rant like you are always frustrated and miserable in real life, go into crime and end up being killed by police before turning 35. Sorry for your miserable short life bro. Recarniate into something better.

Lmao �

chiefobdk2:



OK you already told us the reason they gave for not approving bayelsa airport.. Which by the way is a valid reason...

Can you please tell us the valid reason they gave for suspending flight operations after certifying it initially.. And also tell us why they changed there mind wen Obiano confronted them at Abuja...


Stop defending nonsense

Getat wit your hatred. You assume from ur poverty infested jobless state what Air peace Ceo do or don't.. The biggest Nigerian airline.. While u re struggling to meet ends...

Oga adviser. Carry ur advice deliver urself from poverty

Well the last time I checked my state of origin (rivers ) and state of residence (Lagos ) where doing better than anambra in all major economic indices . In aviation both Lagos and phc airports are one of the three self-sufficient airports in Nigeria so I wonder what will make me hate that of anambra as you are assuming.
And there’s also no where in my post where I advised the CEO of Airpeace. If posting facts is a symptom of poverty to you so be it . I have never seen write ups that represent the kind of bitterness and hatred shown on this post over the past few months but then that won’t stop me from posting what I believe is right . If
You don’t like it continue calling me names.

globemoney01:

Absolute nonsense.. If Allen Onyema was taking decisions arbitrarily like you are saying, why hasn't he nor Airpeace been sanctioned by NCAA. Or you think something as sensitive as flights could be played with by an individual... Has NCAA come out to say the airport has not been certified for commercial operations, where did you get your beer parlour gists from.
Also why was the flight called off by FG on the scheduled date, after being advertised, people were already checking in at Abuja and Lagos airports before the flight was canceled.
Enemies of progress like you and others applauding you are busy praying the Airport does not function, we've seen through your shenanigans, from Anambra does not need an airport, to the airport will be abandoned and now to this..
The issues surrounding the airport are clearly about the elections and get ready to cry after the elections because flight would start taking off. Ndi Nzuzu

Anambra airport will function when the authorities (FAAN, NAMA and NCAA) approve irrespective of what anybody writes here. I don't know why you are angry as if my post is the reason why flights were not approved to operate from umueri on saturday.
I repeat that allen onyema's airpeace has received its own share of owner management syndrome which is one of the reasons he was indicted by he US Department of Justice for paying for aircrafts from NGO accounts controlled by him. Airlines globally do not finance aircraft acquisitions that way. Again in 2020 the UK government also blocked his airline from carrying out a flight to london. They sold tickets without holding EASA TCO certificate to enable them operate into UK/european airspace. Again in same 2020 AIB probed them for overwriting the contents of the cockpit flight data recorder. Canada also blocked them for selling tickets to nigerians when they didnt have ATC from canada. I I can go on and on so i'm not surprised that his airline sold tickets to anambra for Saturday.

MI6Surveillance:
Get out from here this slowpoke, who are that air peace or even anyone at all would want to prove anything to you via certificate? Anambra international airport has got all the certifications to operate about 3 airlines, not just air peace. So take your gibberish out here, no one owes you any explanation. Clowns coming here to feel like wetin I no know.

[s][/s]

Lol you've not said anything other than attacking those of us who don't align with your thoughts that have no element of reason other than bitterness & hate.

chiefobdk2:
capping rubbish to form woke...


What about the numerous times Obiano use the airport for his trips to Abuja and beyond was it not Sam NCAA who certified the flight.. When airpeace landed was it not same NCAA..

would airpeace have sold out its ticket if they didn't get initial authorisation to proceed.. Stop disgracing your self

If the airport got certified as they claim they should post a scanned copy of the certification for us to see. Bayelsa airport was completed by Seriake dickson. An airpeace flight conveying the CEO, ben bruce and some other dignitaries got approval to land at the airport in 2019 . Seriake dickson also landed at the airport in a chartered aircraft a number of times. But NCAA did not certify the airport for commercial operations till just a few months ago (2 years later). One of the issues NCAA raised was the perimeter fencing around the water not meeting their security specification. Commercial flights (united nigeria airline) began operations only about 2 months ago. There was no dragging of NCAA. Today same air peace has stopped operating into Makurdi after a short stint following airport certification issues. RCCG recently sold its helicopter after issues with NCAA. Air peace plan to launch its route to London has been pending with NCAA for 3 years (the CEO himself mentioned that). After the medview ban NCAA seems to have introduced their own processes before allowing a nigerian registered airline to apply for EASA Third country Operator (TCO) .

Air peace is suffering from owner-manager syndrome where the owner (allen onyema) is making decisions that a professional airline manager will not do. The decision to sell tickets with the assumption that NCAA will approve the October 30 flight was most likely the doing of allen onyema and willie obiano for political reasons. No professional run airline will rush to start operations into a new airport. After the replacment of Enugu airport runway ethiopian airline announced resumption date and moved it a few times citing security and other issues. Today ethiopian has resumed operations there after a number of back and forth .

I'll like to also add that when airpeace bought three jets from embraer this 2021 they went through a lot of regulatory tests before putting the aircrafts into commercial use. Before scaling through the regulatory hurdles they still flew empty to a number of airports to simulate their operations as a company before the demonstration flights with NCAA begun. It was after this they launched commercial operations on the new aircraft. Aircrafts are not Cars. Same way Airports are not motor parks.
