How is coma treating you?

He said, “We have been rebuilding, but it is not easy. We are rebuilding, but there are different forces, and contending interests (working against it). It is not easy.

“David Mark after 16 and half years in the Senate must have accumulated a record which we could look at. The last time we requested for a manifesto, he scoffed at us. Scoffing won’t be good enough this time. He must let us know with clarity and a degree of certitude while he thinks he would do better now than he had ever done before. His pitch to us shouldn’t be based on sentiments.

“It shouldn’t be based on how he is the greatest defender of the Idoma from the Tiv. I don’t buy that. He gave us Akume, then Suswam, he also campaigned for Tarzoor. No one is defending no one from anyone. A senate seat is not meant for those sentimental things. It is to canvass for the real development of his people through the law making process.

“He should let us know how he intends to get the Federal Government to complete the slew of uncompleted projects dotting the landscape of Idoma land viz the Otobi Dam, the Ajobe Earth Dam, The RAMP, The Demoted University, The Otukpo-Oweto-Loco-Abuja Road etc. It shouldn’t be that he stands the chance of becoming a President should he remain in the Senate. The truth is you don’t need to be a Senator to become the President.

Kindly ignore my earlier post.

TonyeBarcanista:
Woman, if you want to attack my person be bold enough to do it directly(though I will ignore). Using indirect means doesn't tell good of your person.

My disagreement with you came because I refused to support Saraki and other PDP thieves facing trial. I left the SCN for you guys yet you won't mind your lane.

I'm not a sycophant and not a political jobber seeking patronage from any corrupt personality. I play politics according to my conscience dictates with the interest of Nigeria and my conscience as the motivator. I have a reputation beyond Nairaland to protect, and I have proved critics several times that Nigeria comes first for me.

I will advice that you face your lane and respect yourself. If however you choose otherwise, I will ignore you. Using indirect means doesn't tell good of you.

For the record, I DON'T seek your patronage.


Çc: Passingshot and Truckpusher please take note!

Facts have emerged that Nigerian passengers pay more for the same travel destinations than their counterparts from other West African countries and the entire continent of Africa.

The differences in airfares could be as high as 50 per cent, according to THISDAY checks from the airlines.
Sources also confirmed that Nigerians pay more for imported cargo by air because oftentimes, the airline that freights the cargo to the country would fly back empty, prompting the airline to charge the Nigerian importer for the cost of aviation fuel to and from the destination.

Foreign airlines claim the high charges were as result of hostile Nigerian operational environment, where airlines are required to pay all kinds of charges, provide security for crew members and pay exorbitant rates for hotel accommodation and other services.

Although, Nigeria is an attraction to international travel because of its high passenger movement, costs of services at the airports are very exorbitant.

In March 2012, British Airways charged $10,070 for a First Class flight ticket from Abuja to London, while the same First Class ticket from Accra to London costs $4,943.

Abuja - London Premium Economy ticket costs $3,208, while Accra - London ticket of the same category costs $2,420. The Economy ticket on the same flight costs $2,840 from Abuja but $2,156 from Accra.

Similarly, Virgin Atlantic charges Nigerians $4,173 and $2,956 for its Lagos -London Premium Economy and Economy tickets respectively; while fliers from Accra pay $1,826 and $1,563 for the same categories of tickets on Accra-London haul.

Lufthansa's rate for Abuja - Frankfurt Economy class ticket is $3,661, whereas Accra-Frankfurt on the same class of ticket is $1,330. For KLM, an economy ticket from Abuja to Amsterdam costs $4,502, while the same class of ticket from Accra to Amsterdam cost $1,181.

Also, Alitalia charges $863 for one of its Accra-Rome Economy tickets and $1,509 for the Lagos - Rome equivalent.

Despite protests from the Nigerian government to reverse the trend, the fares have remained very exorbitant and Nigerian passengers have continued to patronise the foreign airlines because of the low capacity of indigenous carriers. At the moment, only Arik Air operates international destinations.

Ugosample:
I fly, though not frequently, but I do The point I am making is that if the regulators and the economic climate of Nigeria becomes unfavourable to them, they would have no choice than to reduce involvement, afterall you are in business to make profit and if the climate makes it difficult for you to operate, no matter how good the market!is, you would have to reduce involvement. That is the TRUTH.

That is all I am saying. or what do you think?

Ugosample:
You think? Nigerians like overestimating our importance. Next year, we shall see.
