It is pertinent to note that VISTJET is a LUXURY executive charter jet service provider, and I find it interesting that they had about 900 take offs from Nigeria alone last year! Who are those using this executive charter service? Which business men use these services to fly in and out of Nigeria?

outrage: $150million only buys you one airplane.

Not true, $150million can buy you at least two new A320ceo or Two new B737NG according to latest Airbus and Boeing list prices for 2013. It can also fetch you nearly 3 new Bombardier C Series depending on your upgrades.

I would rather go for One A320neo and one Bombardier C Series all brand new with that money

This is very serious oh! People used to say air is free, well not in this generation, Air is now for Sale! Just like water, God knows if this would not become the now as one rogue state sends a dangerous chemical to pollute the air and then get her sister company to then begin selling cans of air

Canned fresh air for sale in China by multimillionaire

Tired of China's pollution problem, a multimillionaire has begun a tongue-in-cheek campaign involving selling canned fresh air.

Chen Guangbiao, who made his fortune in the recycling business and is a high-profile philanthropist, handed out soda pop-sized cans of air, purportedly from far-flung, pristine regions of China such as Xinjiang in the northwest to Taiwan, the southeast coast.

"I want to tell mayors, county chiefs and heads of big companies: don't just chase GDP growth, don't chase the biggest profits at the expense of our children and grandchildren and at the cost of sacrificing our ecological environment", Chen said.

China's air quality is closely watched as it fluctuates dramatically from day to day but in recent weeks has registered far into the unhealthy zone.

Air pollution is measured in terms of PM2.5, or particulate matter 2.5 micrometers in diameter, which are absorbed by the lungs and can cause heart and lung disease. The World Health Organisation recommends a daily PM2.5 level of 20 and says that levels greater than 300 are serious health hazards.

Beijing's air quality frequently surges past a level of 500, and on January 12 soared to 755, the highest in memory.

"I go outside, walk for about 20 minutes, and my throat hurts and I feel dizzy", Chen told Reuters in an interview on a busy Beijing sidewalk.

He handed out green and orange cans of "Fresh Air", with a caricature of himself on them saying, "Chen Guangbiao is a good man".

Abeg how much will it cost innoson to buy ads from Seun? Or does INNOSON not realise that Seun now has over 1,000000 handles and 750,000 mumu of Nairaland?

An article from tribune cannot be taken seriously. It's a daily of falsehood and junk journalism!

The present government is not seeing the handwriting on the walls, the sound is getting louder but the government is acting like she's deaf!

warrior01: How much did glo pay their licence and how much did Mtn pay?

They paid the same or am I missing something? Dude all I am telling you is any business whose model is government patronage will die a natural death! INNOSON should make in roads into West Africa, ourBanks have, glo is expanding across West Africa, Arik Air is building her route network into West and Central Africa, INNOSON should do the same!

If it were a case of asking government to create a scheme to allow employees under her books to buy these cars with government guaranty, then that is understandable not this talk of government come buy from us thinking!

Sorry for Nigerians!

We can't be drawing Liverpool and expect to win anything! Liverpool is a middle table club that we should beat to show how serious we are for any trophy, if any at all.

I can't believe Wenger is not seeing the huge problem we have with our left and right full backs! I can't believe he is not signing any player this transfer window. I really feel Wenger should move upstairs o get out of the club let someone who is more hungrier for titles come in. It really is getting annoying with all the story He keeps spewing in the media. First He claimed we had money to buy players, now He is saying January is not the right time to buy players and that others who do are cheating...

The following players should not be allowed to wear Arsenal Jersey next season
1. Santos-A complete disgrace to modern football.
2. Ramsey - not mentally matured to play Arsenals kind of football
3. Sagna - lacks complete depth of what a left full back does. Wenger needs to bring back Jenkins, He was much better for the first few games He played this season.

It is frustrating seeing Jack Wiltshire, santi work their socks off and only to have half baked players spoil their show! Olivier Giroud should be reminder, scoring one goal in a match is not enough! With Arsenals attacking play, He should be netting up at least two in every game as He never tracks back!

This was a match we were primed to win out right going by the display in the second half!

Must government do everything in Nigeria these days? Did government buy 3million mobile lines from glo before it became a symbol of Nigeria's emerging greatness? Let INNOSON compete with other manufacturers in the continent. If His product is of good value for money, He will give the Asia giants a run for their money in Africa.

Abrantie: If he ends up re-locating to Ghana, we'll have our Engineers (who are all trained in Japan and Germany) re-design the vehicles from scratch.

Engineers train in Germany you mean cut and weld engineers

aribisala0: "Folks like you make submissions in fora" .. .... hahaha Sonny ,the laboured and contrived diction is all so obvious. Jakande school education can only take you so far. Keep it simple and natural,Boy. You are out of your depth and trying to hide behind empty verbiage. The more you write the more we see whose education needs overhauling. No need maligning others let's see what you are made of; Crumbly stuff stuff really. You are nothing but a phoney and its all too easy to decipher. Learn some self esteem and you will be on the right path
I do not have an opinion on the figures of the airport. .I have not expressed any on this thread thus far.I try not to express opinions without facts I suggest you read again.
Clearly you are not at peace with yourself that is why you can manufacture a quarrel with your shadow. Have I agreed or disagreed with you on the figures ,no?. What I take exception to is your arrogant bellicose tone. There is nothing profound in what you have said so far apart from abuse. You will only get like and worse in return from me be in no doubt of that.
You need to learn how to mix with humans your rude approach will not produce new results.Learn some manners and stop acting like a wild animal
My guess and its a guess only is that that figure represents the total number of passengers that the airport has handled since its opening. Still there are ways to communicate like a human and a way to communicate like an insane beast.It is clear which category you belong to.

I think I will do what I always do to folks like you on NL who glorify stupidity and take delight in ignorance, never having a willing and teach spirit to learn - IGNORE your comments on NL. I dnt trade words with self glorified motor park touts. People like you that glory in ignorance are partly responsible for the inglorious state of Nigeria.
End of discussion with you on NL.

aribisala0: I don't need to impugn your reasoning capacity you are doing a good job already.no one but you mentione law so tell us the law. You haven't a clue have you? trying to hide behind breezy bluster and bombastic bluff just does not work here. You are empty and unruly

Folks like you that make submissions in fora akin to that of the reasoning of a baby monkey is why even Ghanaians will question the quality of education in Nigeria.

The governor of the state said in two years the airport has handled 403,663 passengers which equate to around 201,831 passengers yearly and if you divide that by the number of days in the year, it comes just about right the volume of passengers you will expect to have gone through that airport just by looking at the flights in and out of that airport in one year.

It is often said Nigerians are intellectually lazy, and I can understand why anyone would posit such going by most of the comments you read on NL.

I barely give a face on NL to ingrates like you, but since you have decided to tel the world that you really are, then I will help you in little measures in actualising that dream!

CFCfan: State govts can set up airports, but the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the NCAA have to approve of such airports.

I never said state government can't set up Airports, I simply said, the Laws of the land does not empower state government to run airports that is why every airport built to date by any of the state governors have had to request NCAA and Ministry of Aviation for first flight clearance.

aribisala0: To help me learn? what watery waffle!! I asked a simple question. What law prohibits states from running airports??
in response to YOUR CLAIM: "The law does not empower state governments to run airports" and you ask this.Let me try again.

What law prohibits you or me from running an airport?


Do I need to have a ministry of Aviation before I run an airport??
An airport is just a business like a hospital both are subject to government regulation but ANY PERSON ,as specified by law,can run them
By the way why are you still using all these numerous IDs.

FYI, I am the least of an individual to use multiple ID, you think everyone is a self made trash like you are? Now go read this to educate you more about the true figures of the volume of passengers passing through AKwa-Ibom airport,

You can build airport as you like, go figure out what the Laws says about who runs the airport. You lots only have loud mouth but very shallow reasoning capacity! No wonder Lebanese come into the country and run you lots hell made because they know the country better than you lots...

Can a shameful wigs like you swallow your disgusting pride and learn? Go read this; http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/akwa-ibom-tropicana-worth-n32billion

BabaTony: Proff of mathematics you sit in your corner and perform your elementary mathematics and you think you can convince anybody you are correct. The manager s of the airport have given their numbers PERIOD. Nobody needs your useless additions and subtractions. It comes to nothing. You better check your sanity because it seems the small arithmetic you are performing is sending you crazy.

http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/akwa-ibom-tropicana-worth-n32billion

This is from the state commissioner about the volume of passengers in 2012. Sometimes I truly wonder if the education you people receive in Nigeria does help you guys to develop your mental capacity

I did not need to go into my archives of Nigeria airports passenger volume to know the figure by so called technical director was wrong! Simple calculation would confirms it.

BabaTony: Are you forgetting that this same airport is responsible for pilgrims movement.

Honestly I am very much worried by your level of intelligence! If anything, how many pilgrims fly through Akwa-Ibom? It is so glaring to anyone that the numbers will never add up. Any airport that can boast of over 400,000 passengers yearly will be a guest to at least four or five airliners daily, and this is not the case with Akwa Ibom airport.

blink182: mathematician thank you very much and who told you arik and aero are the only airlines operating from that airport.

Why not tell us the phantom airliners that operate into that airport with 1,000 passengers daily? Are you for real at all?

aribisala0: "The law does not empower state governments to run airports". I really struggle with the semantics of this statement.What exactly does it mean?? Is it the same thing as "State governments are prohibited by law from running airports". Which law is this exactly ?? please tell us,surely laws are not secrets !!.
As things stand they ARE RUNNING THE AIRPORT so they must be breaking the law,no

To help you learn, does Akwa-Ibom have a state ministry of aviation? Maybe you need to ask yourself under which supervisory ministry and state agency that Airport is under and who gave the Airport clearance for flight

Davluck: More

That nah dozing in progress!

J12: Well, if the United States spent hundreds on billions of dollars on their war on terrorism, whats stops Nigeria from spending a paltry 40 million for the same cause?

A real product of the Nigerian education system

CFCfan: FAAN does not actually run the Ibom airport, the AKSG still does. So, I'll rather believe the stats from them (AKSG).

The simple sums I did was not authored by FAAN, in arithmetic of comparisons, similarity is a very good tool to weigh the closeness of a stated fact to reality. If anything, the law does not empower any state government to manage any airport in Nigeria and if numbers of passengers are to be vetted, then it is the Ministry responsible for aviation that vetting should come from and usually that is done by FAAN.

Obiora4life: Bros, you and I may not agree but I do not appreciate your attack on me. You and I have often disagreed in an amicable manner, but this is highly unacceptable. I respect you enough not to reply in that tone of voice, let's keep it like that... Gracias

If you feel offended by my post, then I apologise. But my it is really concerning that we are carried away by sentiments and ignore the facts which the so called leaders screw up to justify the unjustifiable.
