i totally agree, many british businesses have outsourced their manufacturing sectors to china and you can see the difference in qualijty between products which were previously manufactured in britain and the ones that are now being manufactured in china - the chinese products are pure substandard trash - the UK businesess are now only interested in making huge profits and dont care about quality so they ship all their manufacturing sector to the chinese who use slave labour to produce these goods. these chinese slaves will work for 10 cents an hour because they have no other choice.

this is one of the reasons why unemployment is rising in the western world - all of these jobs are now being done by slave labourers in china, indonesia, thailand, malaysia and now nigeria.

seems some of you Nigerians living abroad have developed the mentality that you're better than, or have achieved something above those living in the country. Look how foolishly you call your educational system a failure- the same one that helped some of you get scholarships, the same one of which you were a part of earlier in life, and which laid the foundation for your educational feats abroad. When a group of people will brazenly insult the country they came from just because of some argument, and instead hold another country in high esteem over theirs, i think there's more hope for a mad man than that one. See you all spitting on yourselves while they are all watching you. If Nigeria failed in something,i think looking into the mirror by some here will provide the answer. I'm only grateful to God that the real Nigerian men who would provide the answer to this myopic question are out there doing something more meaningful to have time to come to a public forum to insult women.

[b][size=8pt]This is a very serious topic, so unbelievable that some of you are being biased,  it is truth now days most of my friends actually prefer girls from other Africa Countries,simply bc Naija girls are selfish,mean,unromantic,unhelpful,and they play too hard to get.  By the time they are playing their hard to get game some other Africa girls are busy smiling at same Naija dudes. worse of all is that naija girls abroad no longer have respect,meanwhile other Africa girls still act like women.
Life abroad is already too stressful for one to worry over unromantic and dramatic girls who don't appreciate the little stuffs like flowers,or movie, Naija guys who have no papers don't approach naija girls who have paper,rather they go for women who will appreciate and accept them the way they are, they end up settling down and building a better happy life with those women. meanwhile same naija girl who took them for granted will turn 40 with no personal man in their life.
Naija girls should better start advising their selves ,otherwise they should keep getting married to whites and Jamaica men ,or other Africa men.

darlforme:
you are a big fool for saying shame on nigerians. land animal like you.

AjanleKoko:
Nah, not market forces.
Let them adjust to the new regime, and fly only three times a week. Then we won't complain about Arik's 14 slots.
They can send their planes to the US like you said. Fine by us.

blackpanda:
I dont understand this your silly support for an organisation/government that is clearly oppressing you. Are you a donkey or what?
What is your business with who controls what in a foreign man's land? Why make up unecessary excuses for them, when they havent even put forward that excuse to your govt? Abi are you an agent for the british government? Until they tie physical shackles on your hands before your two okpolo eyes will open!

mtscheeeew! Nonsense!!

Tom Ford:
How can people say BA will not loose?considering the holiday period around they stand to be aversely affected.besides their monopoly is something else thank God for VA

Guk:
Now, am totally convinced that a lot of responders here are educated illiterates who are also too lazy to do simple investigation even with google at their disposal.

This is a move i can never support because it is repugnant and also business disincentive.

(1) Flight is cheaper from Ghana to London. Why is it cheaper?? The tax collected by the Nigerian govt make our tickets more expensive.

(2) BASA allows for 21 flights each to fly in UK and Nigeria. It does not choose the Airport for u. BA used to fly to Kano a few years ago. UK Airlines are fully utilising their 21 slots. Nigeria is not! Who's fault is that
Nigeria claims that it is unfair & will review it. (Likely downwards) I cant begin to list stupidity of such action. What happens if ARIK; AERO; DANA; AIR Nigeria, suddenly can utilise the 21 slots but you have reduced it to spite the British carriers and you cant review until the next review date. You kill your own peoples business.

(3) ACL annually, openly and transparently auction slots to fly into Heathrow via slottrader portal. All airlines bid, there is no mago mago. ARIK, like so many other airlines cant get exactly what they want, they then have to buy in the secondary market. Pure business sense tells u, dont overbid if your passenger load cannot sustain it.(Ask HITV ala EPL)

(4) Gatwick Airport is an alternative. Lots of Airlines use it and bus their passengers to Heathrow at no extra cost. A nigerian is the CEO of Gatwick Airport, maybe he might listen to Stella Oduah's charm.

(5) Local contractors will have their businesses affected by the reduction in flight which may in turn lead to redundancy.

(6) The in flight food provider quoted on our Stock exchange will lose out "minimally"

(7) We are signatories to a number of Airline conventions. You dont just wake up and flagrantly violate them because ARIK loses slots it cant economically sustain. It show an irresponsible govt

( Its an embarrassment to Segun Aganga Min of Trade and Investment who is trying to woo foreign investors. One of the major hinderances to foreign investment in Nigeria is banana republic type of action just taken. Inconsistent policies; Flagrant violation of laid down rules etc

(9) Stella Oduah and ARIK have created a diplomatic mess for Foreign Affairs minister to clean up

(10) Shows how incapable GEJ is as an Administrator. You dont allow your surbodinates to go around embarrassing your govt and nation like this.

(11) For those refering to and hailing Abacha's action then, SHAME on you. Its either you dont know what happened, which is no excuse or you are just plain ignorant. For your info. The British Airport Authority back then denied Nigeria Airways landing rights at Heathrow simply because they did not meet minimum standards. They had been given enough time to work on their aircrafts but chose not to & Nigeria Airways was not the only Airline denied. In retaliation Abacha banned British Airways for 2 years. It was an unhailed move. The eductated; literate and well informed also do not hail this present action. Its an irresponsible one that throws up our thinking as a nation

texazzpete:
See this imbe.cile sitting down in London and advocating increased taxation on people whose taxes are not even being used to improve their lot!

Don't worry, when Nigerians finally gather the cojones to stage their revolution, your kind will be strung up right beside the greedy fiends who call themselves our leaders.

@ericko thanks. I contacted an immigration lawyer who is looking into my appeal he said he would ask them to review the application. That by law births for the children can be registered before 18years of age for the kids at anytime. And yeah I have some invoices on my name for few jobs so I'll mailed them to my lawyer too Thanks nairalanders
