Jonathan era.

Oh Nigeria. Remember when I flew ph to lagos for just 14k

Let the cost of domestic flight skyrocket to 500k on a single trip.When the middle class and lower class were protesting shey many of us were thinking they were jobless and lay abouts with no productive ambition.


One of my colleague who belonged to this school of thought consistently faulted all manner of protest as he labelled it as a disruption to the economic progress of Nigeria.

The way the current PMS prices has affected his businesses adversely has made him reconsider his initial position on protest.He even rains more insults on the government that a typical Danfo driver on the mainland in Lagos.

Why do we wait till it affects us before we speak up That's a selfish attitude and nature.The words I told him.


When the flight fare reaches that peak then the "wanna be" elite will now speak up and fight against incompetence at Aso rock.


As e be like this, I am sure Tinubu will still win the election come 2027 because we aren't ready yet for growth.

I flew Enugu to Lagos 24k

I'm not sure where you are getting your price, but this is directly from Air Peace website. It is not more than N100k

$6 $2 norm

Don't go like that! I have been using aero contractor to travel from Edo to Abuja for N9,999 not too long ago. Sometimes promo will go for N7k. This was 2012 - 2016. Around 2019, it was 21K - 25k for Arik. Lagos route were always cheaper. The dollar has nothing doing at N1600. It was N400 official before Tinubu took over. Did our income reduce from mining or oil export? NO! We even had more money when crude soared to $100 per barren. We have decided to take unnecessary debt that were embezzled by a political few and mortgage our lives. Other African countries' currencies are overtaking Naira by numerous factor in few years!

The man Tinubu has already killed millions of Nigeria by his policies, hunger and cluelessness. He isn't even leading because I know he can't. Was he not the one speaking "Bulaba?". How many more lives would be let to die before he resigns?

What of your own wickedness? To the best of my knowledge, President Tinubu is only a reflection of you his peasant subjects.

Another minister said air travel is not meant for the poor, maybe I got the names mixed up.

Kidnappers watching and waiting, I wouldn't wish nigeria even on my worst enemy,may nigeria never happen to anyone

I keep saying thst this man wants to reduce our population through every means possible.
You have chronic illness whose drugs are too costly to buy- you die.
You cannot purchase airfare and travel on bad roads or get abducted- you die.
You cannot pay your bills, business shut down, you take to crime and are caught- you die.
You cannot feed well, fall sick or get depressed, you jump off mainland bridge - you die.

Last Last...

Na everybody go chop breakfast...

Tinubu to feh pawon ooo🎶🎶

I tink say na en build Lagos?
Or en go favour people and their family?

Hmm. Which way Naija?

Than me to pay such huge amount of money I better go to Edo and learn how to fly 💸💸 😂😂

Brendaniel:
So are you saying leaders learn from followers or followers learn from leaders?

Every leader in the world is a reflection of their followership.
Greedy followers begets greedy leaders.
WE ALWAYS APPOINT LEADERS FROM AMONG THE FOLLOWERS.

enemyofprogress:
while your people are just committing crimes up and down

That stoopid Yoruba boy wey kill that young girl christiana na Hausa na
You be bigg retardedd m u-m u if you think you were actually tryna make a point

OneCandleAway:
He is not Jonathan, he will win reelection if he wants. Unfortunate but the truth

It irritate me when people comment like this. Are you the one to fix him there again?

If Nigerian refuses him even INEC can't help.

Stop talking with confidence as if you're God.

200k for air or millions for bandits.


The choice is yours 😂 😂 😂

What is a one way ticket?

Hedonisco:
Just two years ago, I remember complaining when the domestic flight prices surged to about N50k for a one way ticket. Now this cursed athiefwajoo just made things unbelievably worse.

Welcome to pre 1999 when we have the extremely rich people and the extremely poor people, no more middle class citizens. This was the exact situation before PDP took over from the military and they were able to reestablished the middle class. But this devilish all poverty congress has systematically destroyed everything in just 10yrs. They more they stay in that Aso Rock, the more they destroy this country until we will have nothing left to fight for.

And what will he farm?

bjdon:
However bad it is now, just know it's going to get a LOT worse. The global economy is focused to slow next year, meaning a sharp reduction in crude prices. Nigeria US already effectively broke, and the situation will get a lot worse.
My advice anyone who has access to secure land go into farming.

Which means it’s a deliberate action to discourage people from flying and forced them to start using the road where they can be easily kidnapped by the bandits. Hmmmmn

Hmm road transport just got expensive too. With over 70k for 70 litres if you want to visit your people in the east you will need atleast 200k for fuel if you re coming from Lagos or Abuja.

Add your friendly customers (Police, FRSC, VIO , touts and kidnappers) You will need 500k to make it home.

We are under siege , I repeat we are under siege.

Shut up there!!! Ignorant supporter of failure!!!

flokii:
Na real serious matter.. first flight leaving tomorrow morning that I checked was priced at 280k one way.
Things are just going up anyhow.

Keep shut and enjoy the renewed shege!!! You were part of the people screaming 'jagaban'. You must enjoy this administration. Make I hear pim from you again. Ekperima.

So is it not the responsibility of the leader to teach good example to the followers ?

or are you saying it is the followers who will teach the leader good example?

Then there is no point having a leader if the leader is not going there to give good examples to the followers

The way you guys reason sha

Too bad!!!

APC, Buhari & Tinubu have completely destroyed Nigeria's middle class.

The middle class (who could afford to buy brand new cars) that emerged under Obasanjo after the telecom revolution has been wiped off by these people

Suddenly middle-class Nigerians can no longer afford to travel by air
Suddenly mid-class Nigeria no longer afford to buy even Tokunbo cars,
the much mid-class Nigerians can do now is scramble for Nigeria used cars, what a shame

It's still better than living in the UK!

Good Luck to Nigerians

.. that is how our leaders are killing us in this country and we are all keeping quiet. 14k to 200k+

Abeg make I hear word.. The same middle class Nigerians vigorously campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. So, why should they complain? They got what they wanted, and it's well deserved!

Tinubu must continue to 2031. Ordinarily, he would anyway as he will rather die than lose.
