Arik never for one day acquire new Aircraft, stop typing out of ignorant or envy, the only bank Airpeace is doing business with is Fidelity Bank and servicing his loans, he is a typical Igbo man that knows how to manage his business.

Ignorance not ignorant.

Mr psychologist and expert mind reader new aircraft is symbolic not literal unlike brand new which means never used, you can use new to mean additional aircraft.

As a business man I want to believe he studied the arik situation and must have learnt not to repeat the same mistakes. In my own opinion arik went bankrupt for the following reasons :

1. High cost of operation. The airline had a large workforce of expatriates which cost them millions of dollars in salaries and benefits.
2. Use of wrong aircrafts: Boeing and airbus are expensive aircrafts compared to bombadier and embraer. For short routes such as Lagos to port harcourt with passengers paying 30k - 40k boeing is a bit of a luxury. its engines, airframe and fueling costs are higher than what bombadier and embraer will offer. Also those aircrafts arik used on the domestic scene(737-700/800) are what ethiopian and kenya airways use for regional flights of 4 - 6 hours . An aircraft engine typically has a maximum number of cycles before an engine change is due. Thus a kenya airways will generate more money from flying from nairobi to lagos and back utilising just cycles on its engines. In the same duration arik will generate less money on its domestic routes and utilize 8 cycles in a day. Thus arik's cost of engine maintenance and overhaul will most likely double that of an airline that deploys its 737-700/800 appropriately.
3. Lack of MRO facility for its fleet necessitating increased cost of maintenance.
4. Zero corporate governance. The founding CEO's son had 3 years of banking experience and emerged CEO of arik thereafter. I believe aviation is one of the most difficult and complex businesses out there thus assigning a CEO with limited skills and experience in the sector fuelled some of the wrong decisions that were made.
5. High cost of funds: Arik borrowed money from nigerian commercial banks at 24% interest rate . In aviation you need single digit funding to survive. At the time arik borrowed $240 million from a nigerian bank the naira to dollars exchange rate was 159. At the time they were paying back it was 360.
6. Operating environment was harsh.
7. Their decision to operate into london heathrow and JFK further compounded their problems. Kenya airways sold one of its slots at london heathrow to oman air for GBP80 million. Arik wasnt financilly strong enough to expand its operations to heathrow.
8. Acquisition of 2 A340 aircrafts at a time airlines were disposing them due to their high fuel consumption and 4-engined nature.

Anybody investing in commercial aviation should learn from arik's fall and the fall of many other airlines prior to arik. Commercial aviation is generally not a profitable business yet it is very capital intensive. Air peace has a great opportunity to become a strong carrier if and only if they operate with prudence and strategically.

This is a solid business case study. I want to believe you are a business analyst.

I may need your opinion on some business idea I am working on.

NB: I don't have money for consultancy.

This is in reaction to the thread about soldiers beating up a young man.

Seen in this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6801472/what-army-men-did-fellow

If any soldier or officer of the Nigerian Army violates your rights in any way whether through beating, extortion or vandalism of your property or any other abuse.

Report him/her to the Human Rights Desk of the Nigerian Army.

Make sure you can prove it. That soldier or officer will be in soup.

You can still go to your bank and collect bank statement between September 20th - october 14th..

It will capture all transactions within that period..

Get a lawyer.

Lodge a complaint to human right commission.

Forward a petition to commissioner of police, military barracks in charge of the area/jurisdiction where the harassment/extortion happened.

Use social media handles to draw public attentions and tag relevant authorities as well.

Nigerian Army has a human rights desk. They are more effective than Human rights commission when it comes to things like this. Just make sure you have proof of abuse.

If you actually believe what you wrote up there, which law firm do you work with? That firm needs to be shut down for employing you

Oga not for any reason. There is something called unfair dismissal which law courts can reverse with consequences for the employer.

There are labour laws which every employer must uphold.

As at the last check i have never owed anyone rent from day one i have been letting houses,i have never had any cause to missuse other people's property.

As at the last check i can't remember letting any of your house or your relatives property
why the thing they pain you is what I can't understand,those who made the law had wicked souls like you in mind before making such law,they know people like you are fucking oppressive and the need to put a stop to your madness,they know people like you can't survive without those rents you get,hence the need to treat tenants with respect and dignity.
For your information,in our own house gan,once we are the one asking you to leave we give you 6 months to move out,we had given a tenant a whole year to get himself and the family sorted,in that situation no one accused us of any wrong doing.


I don't spoon feed people with information,at least i have pointed you the law,
Instead of senseless argument you engage in why don't you download it and peruse,keep for future reference so that you don't end up in jail just in case you come across those who knows and want to claim their rights

Oga, go and live rent free for 6 months let us see if your poverty stricken self won't be forced to pay to an enlightened landlord.

Mense profit you don check am. Evil person wanting to live rent free.

Try it first let us hear how it went.

Other evil tenants reading this, the law doesn't give you 6 months free rent in lieu of quit notice like this ignoramus is selling to you.

Even in Nigeria where justice is slow you will pay those 6 months by force.

Slow pokes and Osho free everywhere.

The same law that binds the Tenant is what binds the landlord, guess you are one of those shylock landlords,i don't expe6that to seat well with you,major reason i referenced the rent law,but in your bid to continue the stupid argument you have no reference to quote except that same ryme of "if the landlord knows his right"
Na only landlord get right?
.

You are one of those irresponsible tenants who wants to live rent free.

Go try with the wrong person you go know how far.

Point of correction it is Lagos Tenancy law which your ignorant self cannot defend.

Let your rent expire, don't pack out and wait for 6 months notice so you can live rent free. You will know landlord too have rights.

Now run along and ruminate over my free advice.

Also the stupid argument is yours, quote the part of the law that allows you live 6 months rent free.

Ignoramus.

You must mention stupid because you see a different argument. That is how stupid people reason .

The same Lagos rent law doesn't give you automatic 6 months rent free under the guise of 6 months quit notice. If the landlord knows his right you will be properly educated about the meaning of mense profit.

The stupid argument is the one lacking substance.

You should keep your gunpowder dry,the battle is yet to start,ignore her verbal quit notice and Carry on with your life,wait until the lawyer serves you a quit notice,by then you will know if it's to go or renew your rent,if you are to go,you are entitled to up to 6 months rent free for you to get another accomodations.

Rent free for 6 months ba? You never jam landlord wey Sabi law. You will pay for those six months by force.

This one happened when I was 17
I was jogging with my big bro in the morning and one lady doubled crossed us with her SUV and she screamed and almost crying, Phil is there anything u asked I have not given you, why have u decided to ruin my life

It was later we got to know that I looked exactly like her son whom he had sent to Canada to continue his tertiary studies on the account that he was expelled from school here in Nigeria for burning down a filling station with his cult guys. grin
The woman later collected my number and we finally got to meet with his so called son after 2 years after, oboi it was like looking in the mirror when we finally met, we are still best of friends up til today, most times we do suspect we where twins separated at birth grin

Another one was just two weeks ago, I just dropped from an Uber with my babe at Jabi lake mall Abuja here to go see a movie.
This other babe was looking at me jaw dropped, the next thing she did amazed me, she just grabbed me from behind and shouted, micky, this is your business trip u said you were going abi? Who's this bitch with u anyway, she was referring to my girlfriend shocked. At the end of the day we cleared the air after like 10 minutes of showing prof that I ain't his boyfriend he thought I was, he called his boyfriend on video call and baba answered, the spoke and she later apologised, I was embarrassed though, because people where already taking pictures to post on the internet to paint there own false stories, thank God she later knelt down to apologized, my babe was finally smiling and happy at this point

We ended up taking pictures and exchanged contact, we already arranged a double date with them next weekend grin

You are probably still being fed by your parent. The country is gradually bringing down the middle class below poverty line, and you are here talking as if these set of unfortunate leaders did not affects everyone.

Nigeria need mechanized farming at this point to rescue us from impending serious famine we may witness next year. Federal Government should as a matter of urgency allow massive importation of RICE and CORNS for poultry sector, which serves as a stable food for an average Nigerian family. If the price of rice come down, people will eat more of rice, which will definitely lead to decline in the price of BEANS,YAM,GARRI, etc in the market.

You will finally kill the economy, with more pressure on the dollar from importation price hike will only get worse.
