This is a good development. We need to put some respect on our names.

Anyway ambassadors representing both countries need to discuss on the way forward.

Let me educate a lot of people who are talking nonsense especially those that hate Nigeria.

NCAA is actually fighting Emirates because of Air Peace and I hope my Igbo brothers can appreciate the Nigerian government for supporting Air Peace.

UAE restricted Air Peace to Sharjah instead of allowing Air Peace to land in Dubai and UAE also limited Air Peace to only one flight per week. Hence, Nigerian government got upset and restricted Emirates to one flight too.

Emirates in return is upset and has decided to pull out of Nigeria.

This is a case of Government fighting for it's Citizen.

Igbo people stop criticizing government unnecessarily
let me make something very simple for you. You just wasted your time and energy. Refocus those on something else.

If you like draw this on a blackboard,many people will choose ignorance

I remember the time of Murtala Muhammed and Obj regime. Nigeria was a strong actor that even USA and the west were Afraid of her. Now the mighty has fallen. Tit for tat is the only way to get respect in the games nations play. Morality and Diplomacy are not always a means to an end. A little demostration of power is enough to make an rogue to adjust. Well done Nigeria aviation minister. It's a sign of hope that once the giant of Africa, the conqueror of Apartheid, the strength of Africa is actually coming to an age again. We meeveee

Na Dubai go beg Las las. How many of their people dey come to Nigeria?

The amount Dubai are generating alone on visa applied by Nigerians is far far than UAE people applying for Nigeria visa.

And all those Nigerians that travel there go with reasonable money to spend which VAT will be included.

And the good thing is, those who have plans of travelling to Dubai must have money, If Dubai is no longer available, they will go somewhere else

Your point is valid. Emirate may loose just as air peace. there are international airlines operating between Nigeria and UAE.

MrMaestro:
The Nigerian government has responded to the UAEs ban on multiple flights to the UAE from Nigeria’s Air Peace. As a result, the government has also rescinded the previous approval of 21 flights to Nigeria weekly (Abuja and Lagos), down to once per week. Likely due to the fact that Air Peace has been a beacon for Nigeria and Nigerian business, especially after the xenophobic issues in South Africa. Wonderful development. Nigeria protecting those that also are protecting Nigerians. Let this be a lesson that when we stand together we can be a global force to be reckoned with.

The only people losing are Nigerian companies that work with Emirates, what is the absence of one 3rd world country on Emirates routes? How does this now help Air Peace grow internationally? What exactly is Buhari's beef with the UAE - The exposure that government officials were part of terror funding? This nightmare should do and come to an end in 2023! Air Peace has no flights to Rwanda, Ethiopia, the UK, the US and even the flights to South Africa is in jeopardy because of the new C0vid variant.

Bro, do you have an idea of how many people travel to U.A.E on a regular?
Nigeria isn't just an ordinary 3rd world country on Emirates route ohhh.... it's no small loss oh cos Nigerians dey really enter Dubai gaaaann

It's Tinubu and Buhari that owns airpeace

Nepotism~

Air Peace is owned by an Igbo man, one singular action by UAE against Air Peace made FG to react

At the cost of Nigerian companies that hire Nigerians that work with Emirates. When the FG needed to rescue a Nigerian from a prison in an African country, they fked around until she died. Just because the UAE is exposing their funding of terrorism, they are doing like goats.

And you think Air Peace doesn't hire UAE citizens too?

There was no justification for UAE to cut Air Peace flights to once a week except for anti-competitive reasons.

The FG response though injurious is apt.

If FG didnt do this UAE+Emirates would have frustrated air peace out of the route. Same tactics they used against arik and medview. Unfortunately the FG then did little to intervene. Sirika's anger then was that nigerian airlines were weak and could not compete effectively. In the case of airpeace they have tried hard to stand out and have made a lot of investments in the sector.Support from FG will go a long way in aiding there growth.
