If it were Lagos State government, you low sperm count iddiot would have ejaculated into Sanwolu's anus, singing unmerited praise to high heavens.

You can tell an airline that will/will not succeed in Nigeria by the type of planes they are buying for local routes. it shows they lack understanding of their industry. Anybody buying airbus/Boeing for local routes won't be in business very long. What you need in Nigeria are regional jets Bombardier CRJs and Embraer ERJs

trulymatters:


The A220s are the prized jewel of the commercial regional jets market. Embraer (a Brazilian company) dey learn work. Bombardier, a Canadian airline builder actually sold the A220s design to Airbus, a French company. Tell me why you would settle for less then. Mind you IbomAir has 5 Bombardier airliners in their fleet.

The only reason the state government is investing this much in the aviation industry is that;
1. The industry requires high capital investment, look at AirPeace, those guys are buying more planes than IbomAir. Akwa Ibom state government has the funds, so why not invest it's viable. IbomAir isn't wholly owned by the state. Governor Udom is about ensuring that Akwa Ibom state earns more USD than Naira while making the state a destination (business, leisure, religion, whatever).
2. The numbers have shown an increase in the continent's population over the next ten years, the AFTCA agreement has been signed, economies are booming and new markets are opening up, more people would definitely travel than before.

My brother no be only you. When you ask them why they chose someone like Buhari to rule them rather than someone like Emmanuel of Akwaibom; they will tell you that "they're the same, that when he got there he will start behaving like Buhari. " I don laugh tire! Na just to dey wait small before I pack my load waka!

keep your money so that as soon as ibom air shares is open for the public buy in, you will be among the first shareholder, since you are very concerned about private holding of the airline.

Baba as long na ibomites be the labourers, the lead engineers outside the heads which will obviously come from china.

And as long they don't discriminate who can rent in the area.... I have lived with them back in china and worked with this people and I dislike every inch of them...

At least with white man you go know say he hate you and just wan use you but he go still pay you well.

So as long it drives akwa ibom into mega city, brother I will be very happy..

God bless southern Nigeria.

Newboss:


Did I say that?

Please, show me where I said that.

perambulator:






If you read my posts I said Airbus including the A220 is not a good plane for "domestic routes in Nigeria". ordinarily when dealing with anyone who understands English i need not add "in Nigeria" as "domestic" means flights within Nigeria, however I specifically added "in Nigeria" because I know Nigerians do not understand English and lo and behold despite domestic supposedly being obvious to an educated man, somebody is still coming here telling me about regional travels in Africa...is that what i am talking about?

Go to night school and take remedial classes in English.

Firstly aviation industry is among the most difficult to run in the world infact there is a saying the fastest way to be a millionaire is to first become a billionaire then start an airline that would make u a millionaire

This is not a sustainable business to invest the state money into and how many people would that employ ?


Akwa ibom I know has the potential to be great

This money used to start this airline can be used to say start up 10,000 fish pund farm in the start ...train 5000 youths ...start it up for them ...after training ...in like 5 cluster around the state , each with each on fingerlings production capacity ...fish feed mill and smoking factory

The farmers buy fingerlings from the factory ,fish from the factory ,train the fish smoke at the cluster ...this is a more sustainable business model because it's not government dependent a

That money can also buy 1000 fishing trawlers they can control the fishing industry ,great a nice value chain that's sustainable


This airline is only Runing because udom wants it to run not that it makes profit to run alone ...it's a feel good project

Trumann:
Ilaumoh, see how these wicked Igbos like Mrvitalis are against this project. Very hateful beings. They know how others should run their states but their own states lie in ruins.

VEXT:


The thing weak me my broda....imagine say them include akwaibom for their Biafra stuff,is finished...

mrvitalis:

Oh please

Wicked because I'm against government Runing an aviation industry business ? Especially in a democratic government , government has no business in business really


Akwa ibom is a state I know very well ...if this money was invested into 2000 fishing trawlers do to know what can do the the economy of the state ?
Tropicana was revived by our governor via market square and silver bird .. And market square is owned by a Yoruba man

Do you know the fishing potential of akwa ibom ...prawns ,shrimps , fish bro it's massive

All I'm saying is this business is not a good investment simple

And Igbo hating akwa ibom ? Those people that love u where are their investment in akwa ibom ? Those people that own your oil well where are their investment in akwa ibom ?

Took an igbo man to save Tropicana , de choice owned by Igbo , innels , crunches , Kilimanjaro ..this places and many more employ thousands of your brothers yet we hate


Ijaws are there claiming oron ,ibono and the rest but igbos are the problem make una enjoy ooh

Greenlight123:
Your excellence the executive governor of Akwa ibom state. I am, one of your biggest fans, your excellence I wish I had the opportunity to see you in person to say thank you for all the good work, and how I wish all Nigeria governors emulate your style of governing, though am not from akwa ibom, but I must confess to you that you are a blessing to the people of Akwa ibom state. I wish you more grace sir, more good work longer life more blessings and strength to continue the work of the lord for only those with the fear fulfil the promises of the state constitution to uphold value and dignity and the aspirations of the Nigeria constitution.
Thank you sir.

Greenlight123:
Mr governor a very big thank you for your good work

Kobicove:


Increasing the number of aircraft does not necessarily mean that the airline is making profit.

...and for your information they were leased and not acquired through outright purchase!

Aringon:
Most of you don't understand business yet for the sake of sounding WOKE, you decide to write whatever you wish.

Look, Ibomair is privately owned and managed by technocrats in the Airline industry, the state owns a small percentage like 10 and the rest by HNIs from Akwa Ibom.

They run their business successfully and this one will continue to be successful

Atouke:


Go and advise your state government. we are not complaining about our state investment.
you want to tell Akwa ibom people about fish and seafood. check your statistics 80% of Nigeria crayfish comes from Oron waters in Akwa Ibom. 60% of wild caught fish in Nigeria comes from akwa ibom yet pseudo intellectuals like you are busy spewing trash .
Seafood is not our problem. you cant teach fishermen about fish we got that. if you lack what to say just keep quiet. stop disguising your jealousy and envy as concern for the state.
Akwa Ibom is developing Aviation. not just an Airline, it started with Gov. victor Attah almost 21years ago 3 administrations are still building it. component by component Airline is just a component.

1). Airport with large runway for the biggest jets 3,600km x 60m = complete
2) . Second runway of same dimension to double as taxiway = 90% completion
3) Maintenance, repair and overhaul facility MRO = Done , fitting of aviation equipment ongoing opening 2022.
4) Ibom Air = complete
5) cargo facility = ongoing.
6) New terminal building = 60% completion opening 2022.
7). Aviation training school. = Ongoing.
. Four lane airport access way currently expanded to 6 lanes = Ongoing.
9). Airport Electricity/Power grid linked to State owned Ibom power plant, first airport in Nigeria to get 24/7 electricity not run by generators.

It appalling how Nigerians will celebrate the establishment of an airline and using state funds to boost the economy of western countries by buying jets..jets DAT only the politicians and their children plus an extremely small fraction of Nigerians will ever fly...
It will take years for that airline to record profits adding the fact that it under a government rather than private investors... I can only pray for it longevity....

But they despise Governors building flyovers dat eases vehicular movement for the masses flyovers that millions will use ...
Just read and article of Nigerians calling flyovers nothing to celebrate and dey use it daily and feel the advantages but celebrate jets and airlines even their generation will not near
We are truly insane...

Akwa ibom today lacks industrialization and the kind of business environment that will keep their people in their state rather than rushing to PH...
A simple deep sea port costing the same amount they used to buy those planes would have solved this problem DAT generations will forever be grateful for...

Akwa ibom is in dire need of a sea port not airline..if u know the potentials attached to being faced with the Atlantic ocean u will understand this...
This scarce blessing is what makes major cities around the world what they are ,from Lagos to Cairo to Capetown , Accra...check all them..their major driving force to their level vibrance in terms of economy and industrialization is their proximity to the sea
