Are you being serious right now? How can you mention IPOB as the problem of Nigeria if you are not being a hypocrite? Before the killings going on in the Southeast at the moment started, the IPOB had been all about peaceful protests, but the Nigerian army started killing them even when they were unarmed. I guess you were here then, but never condemned the brutality and the inhuman treatment the army meted on them. Let me tell you, there is an extent you will push an innocuous chicken; it'll turn back and attack you. If the people in authority are serious about finding a lasting solution for what's going on right now in the Southeast, they should tackle the root cause, which is the injustice.

So injustice against Igbos is a sensible justification for Igbos to start murdering fellow Igbos and causing insecurity in Igboland?

Till a thousand years I'd never be able to fathom the planetary realm from which this foolishness originated from.

They are joking . No nation in their right minds thinks of a full scale war with America. Every nation in the world desperately tries to openly show their military strength but America desperately tries to downplay theirs. One thing about US they never follow the direction the whole world is following; when the world was doing left hand drive they went right hand, when the world was doing parliamentary they went presidential and ironically after some time the world starts following the same because America is like a show piece of the world that everybody is watching. Everybody knows American presidents, politicians and entertainers but more than half of Americans do not even know where west Africa is or the president of any European country except late queen Elizabeth. Most countries in the world believe in showcasing their best military weapons to inspire fear while America even though an open society downplays its military capability in extreme secrecy that any time American military tests any weapon for the world to see most military watchers know already they have outdated that technology many years before. US military used internet from WW2 and released it to the world in 1999 when it was no longer of use to them same way they released drones for everybody to use. During WW2 hitler subdued entire Europe with his commanders and men like Italian dictator Benito Mussolini , pacific and Asia even China through emperor Hirohito of Japan . America refused to join the war like they are doing now over Ukrainian issue. Hitler, Mussolini etc taunted them until the devil pushed Japan into bombing Pearl Harbor. America entered the war and during the bombardment of Omaha beach and normandy to gain access into Europe terrified German soldiers wrote that the kind of weapons Americans came with was something they never imagined in their existence would exist in the next 1000 years; then coupled with total destruction of Japanese biggest cities then of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which made emperor Hirohito to admit that after his god it’s Americans. They even came with thousands of fighter jets and bombers that turned German military bases into tornados of fire and armored tankers that run on water and were detonating explosives at the beach. The battle lasted 48 hours and the lightening from the constant bombardments made the entire night look like broad daylight.It was rumored the shock drove hitler to go and commit suicide. By the time they gained access and started liberating countries held in bondage by hitler there was American flags all over Europe with everybody chanting “America..America…” thanking the heroic soldiers for the new found freedom.That war was described as the largest scale military operation ever carried out in a theater of war in the history of mankind , after that bloodshed Americans started UN, WHO,IMF etc with aim never to have a repeat of such again and that’s why what America did in North Korea,Vietnam, Iran, iraq, etc are largely seen as peace keeping even though moderate and liberal politicians in US are still angered by what happened in iraq. During Biden’s visit to Ukraine months ago they had missile protectors around him and locked up the airspace too in addition to the tight security mobilized from their bases in Europe because had anything happened to Biden in Ukraine there would have been no Russian city in the next weeks after that and Russia knew that , so that’s why I said they are joking

Such a huge dump of yankee propaganda...

What is wicked there He should allow a former governor impeach him or what Mtscheeeeeeeeeeeew

The reason we've perpetually had thieves, diabolics, beasts, scallywags and other form of degenerates as leaders in Nigeria is because our society overflows with people like you who constantly make excuses for nonsense behaviour. Every time the rascality of leaders is called out, there's always people like yourself who cant see the big picture, the only thing you see is the politics, the tribe, the religion and other mundane things.

A governor smashes the HOA building because of a pointless beaf with one man, now he wants to squander N19billion of public funds in rebuilding the said building. Despite the hunger in the land, you mean to tell me you cant see anything wrong with this kind of irresponsibility?

@renoomokri

So in essence, Omokri is saying prices of food items haven't surged in the last year in Nigeria? Rather people now cut yams and sell in bits just to prove the yams arent bad? Apparently its only OBIdients that think food prices have surged.

How can someone keep trying so hard to make a fool of himself? Even the Agbadorians he's been trying to famz and impress have consistently avoided him like a disease.

Calm down! No matter how intelligent or smart you think you are, no human is above loosing their guard and doing something silly from time to time. That you've not been casted before doesnt mean you're invincible.

Everyone expected the pastor's wife to have cancelled her already planned and fully paid-for birthday celebration because a 'big man' in the church died.

If it was a poor man that died, would people also have expected the birthday to be cancelled?

Did Trump commit the crime or not?

Remind me please, which crime was that exactly?... The real crime here seems to be his intention to run in the next election and his disturbingly increasing popularity amongst voters.

adioolayi:
Hmmm..

Trump going to jail or getting a fine

If this happens to be Nigeria or Africa, we will not give deserving kudos to the judiciary, rather, we will definitely say it's a well planned attack on opposition by the sitting President, so that the his closest challenger will not be on the ballot.

Anyways, let's see if Trump will still be on the ballot or it's end of the road for him

But isnt that exactly what it is? A very obvious strategy to ensure a person like Trump never gets to the presidency again.

I thought this Isiguzo guy has been debunked several times as not being an exco of ohaneze? Nigger is just a pay per talk sycophant of APC and Tinubu, just like the infamous fake bishops, leading a fictitious faction of ohaneze. Quite funny how some parts of the media desparately rush to publish whatever the Isiguzo fellow says as an offical statement from Ohaneze.

Lol... Check yourself very well. You may also be guilty of what you accused the girl of. That miniature box is definitely not anywhere close to 43cm. The measurement in the website is clearly fraudulent!

neyobills:
Make i put school bag for your back carry you go primary school for you to understand what for example means??

Its just an instance to let you understand that u cant base size of passengers on size of fleet alone since u dont seem very bright in this field.

For example if Dana air has the highest number of passengers for local destinations, will u bring up same argument of impossibility since they have a lower fleet size than AP.

Airlines base routes on foot traffic and viability of the destination,fleet size isnt the only parameter.

what is the population of Ethiopia compared to Nigeria head to head.

Have u checked the frequency of flights for each of the destinations?

You might have never heard of Ryanair but i guess u must have heard of Emirates,why are you not arguing that Ryanair cant have more passengers than a whole Emirate, Ryan air might not have more destinations than Emirates.

- If my grandma had 2 wheels, she would have been a motorcycle.
- If my dad had wings, he would have been a boeing 747.

Both of the above sentences are instances, but one thing common to them is that they are both meaningless and unrealistic instances. You dont need nursery education to discern that.

Thd point being made here is you should stop making unrealistic instances in arguments. You cant keep assuming that EA planes are idle and rotting away on the tarmac while AP planes are being utilised to 150% capacity; where're you digging up these pointless instances from?

If EA management was stupid enough to just amass 154 planes that are idle (as you keep suggesting in your instances), then EA would have since folded up cos airline businesses thrive on aircraft utilisation.

If the airline is reporting profits and expanding its fleet, shouldnt common sense tell you they're getting bookings? Had it been that AP had like over 100 planes while EA had 154, perhaps your assumptions and argument would have been reasonable. Do you know how terribly bad business has to be for EA with 154 planes to have less overall passenger headcount than an airline with 29 planes?

Meanwhile talking of Ryanair, are you aware Ryansir has over 580 active planes compared to Emirates eith about 260?... Ryanair is also a low cost airline that almost operates what I'd call a 'molue' service; they thrive on short routes and maximise number of seats in their planes. Looking at the numbers, common sense can easily tell you and I that Ryanair would have more passenger turnover than emirates.

If I may ask, on what evidence is your argument even based? Just assumptions? Or is it the obviously fictitious and severally debunked figures posted by the OP?

neyobills:
A commercial airline has 154 airframes,however only 4 is dedicated to African Market another has 29 airframes and 20 is dedicated to the African market who would have the biggest number of passengers within Africa?
...

You seem to dig out weird numbers from your imagination, believe the numbers, build your arguments on these imaginary numbers, and then pass them across as facts. How did you arrive at the conclusion that only 4 out of 154 EA planes are dedicated to Africa? A quick check to EA's website reveals the run to over 20 local destinations (in-country) and over 60 destinations in Africa. How did you come to the conclusion that only 4 planes are used for these over 80 destinations?

Cc: pappilo

neyobills:
You cant wrap your head around it because u dont work in aviation,firstly the data is about the African market only,which means it only applies to flights within Africa so doesnt cover all destinations,they might have bigger size of fleet however have you bothered to ask what is the frequency of their flights within Africa,for example if AP has 3 flights to JHB daily while EA has one,then AP has more passengers,EA wont fly to JHB empty just because they have a bigger fleet,they fly based on frequency of bookings,size of fleet doesnt determine the frequency of bookings.

Somehow im not assuming anything,im not holding brief for AP however the data is very possible,they would have more fleet dedicated to more busier routes,thats basic common sense,perhaps the busier routes for AP are middle east and europe so that is where most of the fleet would be dedicated to.

Meanwhile my analogy was just an example to let you know fleet size isnt the only parameter to consider,i dont need to research on that cos i work im aviation,so i know better,you are only getting worked up due to fleet size without confirming the types of airframes involved in the fleet,i guess now you have a better idea that fleet size alone cant be a determinant factor without considering the type of airframe.

Just to clarify i already knew both dont have a jumbo,the analogy is for you to have an idea of airframes,the realistic answer to that is frequency of booking,if AP with one jumbo goes to a destination daily while EA goes to the same destination once in 3 days,then AP wins despite having a smaller fleet,EA wont fly empty airframes just for display of a bigger fleet,they fly based on booking frequency.

Lol... You're actually a funny individual for confidently perpetuating such an illogical argument despite what everyone has told you.

By the way, I'm a well educated adult with a sound mind and also with the gift of discernment. I don't have to work in the aviation industry to understand basic number; this is common sense!

I'm wondering where you got your idea from that the OP was referring to only passengers carried within Africa; but let's even assume its within Africa like you claim. The EA fleet operating within Africa far outnumbers the entire AP fleet; EA travels to over 20 cities within Ethiopia and over 60 cities in Africa. How many destinations does AP fly to?

You keep repeating this argument about AP flying to a destination 3 times a day but EA flying to same destination once in 3 days; where on earth are you digging up these imaginary numbers from? EA has been in existence for almost 80 years and is the largest and most profitable airline in Africa, but somehow you think the management of EA are idiots that they don't know how to maximally utilise their planes? Are you saying EA doesn't know how to manage an airline business? They're not getting frequent bookings but somehow they keep buying more and more planes, expanding their fleet even with more wide-body aircrafts and they're not getting bookings?? Buying more and more planes to fly empty? What kind of voodoo economics is that? Is this what you've learnt from your time working in the aviation industry?

Just like @pappilo pointed out to you, even if AP converts all its 29 planes to 777's carrying up to 300 passengers per plane, AP wouldn't still match the capacity of EA. Abeg try using common sense sometimes; cos you keep making your so called time in the aviation industry questionable.

neyobills:
Firstly this fact is about the African market and not International.


The Logic in the world there is foot traffic,flight frequency,and capacity of airframe.


Lets take flight frequency for example ,if Airpeace has 3 daily flights to JHB while Ethiopian airlines has 1,then for sure Airpeace has more passangers for that route.

Basic economics is no respecter of sentiments,size of fleet is sentiments in this issue,If Airpeace flight to Accra is for example 200k,while price of Ethiopean airlines is 300k,will you as a person go for the Ethiopean flight due to size of fleet,add some zeros to the fleet size and go use am buy yam for market na.

Parameters like safety rating are things that really matter in aviation not only size of fleet.

Not sure I can wrap my head around the logic of this your argument... Ethiopian Airlines has 154 planes; that is more than 5 times the fleet size of AirPeace which has just 29 planes. EA also has way more wide-body aircrafts than AP and travels to more destinations, but somehow you think AP is ferrying more passengers annually than EA?... How exactly is this even logical to you?...

Somehow you've assumed and confidently concluded that EA just bought their 154 planes as decorations; obviously they aren't sufficiently knowledgeable or smart or capable of efficiently optimising the use of their 154 planes, that must be why AP is flying more passengers annually with just 29 planes. All of this just because you saw some unverified figures plucked from God knows where?

Meanwhile I saw an analogy you gave in one of your earlier posts about how AP with just one A380 should be able to ferry more passengers than EA with four A320's. Obviously that was an attempt by you to play down the relevance of EA's fleet size; afterall fleet size is just a number and just "sentiments". But did you even bother to research the equipment both airlines have in their fleet before jumping to your conclusions?...

Just to clarify, both airlines don't have A380's, but if we must stick with this your analogy, the more realistic comparison and question you should try and answer is how AP with one A380 would carry more passengers than EA with 9 A380's.

neyobills:
Open your mind.....this fact is about more passengers within African routes,not size of fleet,or total number of international route passengers,Ethiopian airlines has a larger fleet no doubt,most of their busiest routes are the middle east and Europe,Air peace on the other hand has busier routes within Africa because we obviously have a larger local travelling population compared to Ethiopia.

Except you guys are saying Ethiopian Airlnes have just parked two-thirds of their fleet on the ground for decoration, there's absolutely no logic in the world that can make Air Peace with a fleet size of 29 carry more passengers yearly than Ethiopian airlines with a fleet size of 154 planes.

No airline buys planes to park them at the tarmac to waste away.

Throw your question to the comments that are already condemning the Igbo tribe under the thread, not to me who just predicted those comments.

Meanwhile, you have not answered my questions.

I've made my point already; Erisco attempting to lawlessly 'deal' with the lady is a typical case of Nigerian big men trying to oppress the poor - It has nothing to do with tribe and such lawless acts are not restricted to any tribe.

Sorry if the way I chose to express my opinion fails to meet your expectations.

immortalcrown:
You have not answered my questions.

If you cant deduce my point from what I wrote, then I'm not sure I know what else you want me to answer to.

Before seeking an answer to whatever question you asked, you might want to answer my own question first - "Wetin concern tribe for this matter?"

immortalcrown:
Why not answer the questions in my comment? You can see those using the post to mock the Igbo tribe. Ask them what tribe has to do with the matter.

What I wrote is already an answer to these comments. Big man trying to oppress the poor, what has that got to do with tribe?

immortalcrown:
What exactly is the reason for the boycott?

Is it that what the girl did about the product is good?

Is it that she was wrong and has sincerely apologized but the company rejects the apology?

Meanwhile, this is the kind of post that tribal bigots use to push the narrative of, "Igbo people do not love one another". See the bigots below.

Wetin concern tribe for this matter?.... A 'big man' attempted to use his 'bigmanism' to do exactly what big men do in lawless societies; i.e. to oppress the poor. Unfortunately for this big man, his actions have backfired terribly.

Aba is a large commercial city in the southeast, so having an airport in Abia is not a bad idea

Aba is about a 40 mins drive from the Sam Mbakwe (Imo) airport under good road conditions. If we're to be honest with ourselves, putting political, ethnic and other irrational considerations aside, I don't believe an airport is a most pressing economic or developmental priority for Abia state.

It's a lie if you say South South people don't scream for their natural resources being taken unfairly and the destruction of their land.

It's silly to claim that gas reserves are all over Nigeria. Europeans can claim so too.

You're ignorant if you don't know how Gas(energy) can be converted to wealth.

You're talking nonsense!

The SS people never fought against building the NLNG plant and neither did they fight against building other relevant infrastructure required to extract or sell or gas. Rather, what the SS people clamour for is a higher share of the income that comes from selling their oil and gas, and in my opinion, that's a sensible thing to fight for.

On the other hand, what are you and your ilk on this forum clamouring for? You're fighting against building the primary infrastructure (pipelines) needed to convert the gas to wealth. In your honest opinion, is that a sensible fight when compared with the clamour of the SS?

Nigeria may have 1.6 million barrels daily, but all of that isn't readily available to sell to 1 man. Most of that 1.6m barrels already has people's names to it.
