So they should wait for him.. I have never seen where a public plane wait for a passager

This is not chattered

Why is airpeace always on the news for controversy?

dederocs:
Air peace noise is too much, they are a public company must be accountable. Always shouting victimhood

Chill. You think it's Molue. You don't understand. So, don't nose what's beyond you.

Air travellers understand. Not Molue users like you. Air peace is in business,not charity organization. Therefore, they should react to unwholesome behavior that tends to disrupt their business.

Oshiomohle should resign

Foolish man. Can he do that abroad.... This is see finish. Is he not supposed to be arrested? Lawless country

You sound myopic. Why is airpeace always rushing to the media, always defensive?

Kudos to the staffs, next time he would be there at the right time. If Nigeria must work, we all need to stand up for what is right.

Ashirioluwa:
Can he try same somewhere outside Nigeria? All these gra gra can only happen here in Naija.

Don’t mind the irresponsible Senator and leader. That was an absolute show of shame. But trust Nigerian politicians never to be ashamed of their deeds. And to think that this man was a labour leader makes his case worse.

Airpeace staff were overheard screaming at him. That showed that he totally lost respect. His tout behavior at the airport cost his respect. His mates charter private aircrafts in such situations. He could have chartered one or link with others to use a private aircraft immediately.

If he missed his flight in an Arab nation or Asian nation, would he have tried the rubbish, not to talk of Europe and USA. When he’s traveling to those countries, does he get to the airport late? Of course he knows the result.

oz4real83:
When the weakest man is being protected by representatives of all the security agencies in Nigeria , that same weakest man can beat anybody, including the strongest. Just check out Oshiomole and see if such a person can ordinarily raise his hands against others, without protection from security agencies

Are you sure you have the slightest clue who Adams Oshiomole is??

Should the PRIVATE company be more accountable or less accountable than Oshiomole and his bunch of entitled PUBLIC servants who have no clue what responsibility is attached to their positions but focus solely on the power attached to it

Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"


Guys lets discuss the thoughts of Lord Lugard. he had  a supremacist view obviously. But is he right in the way he describes Nigerians and Africans in general? How many of the issues that he raises are valid?

Letz get some responses

How do U depart from a 6:30 flight by 6:20. Why couldn't they wait for 6:30 to leave

DesChyko:
Air Peace that decided not to name and shame?

When you say they are a 'public company', what do you mean please?

I'm not sure this thought process came off the proper end of the alimentary canal though.

Meanwhile, here is a witness account:

Truvelisback:
You sound unreasonble.

Air peace is a public service company, they should know how to manage their customers not bringing every issue online for public sentiments.

If they are not ready to deal with passengers, tantrums and complaint then they should leave the business.

Who else is he than a two-bit rogue with a loud mouth for vomitting rubbish that is applauded by the Stockholm syndrome sufferers who allow his type emerge from among us into public office?

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

Counter View: When Policy Lacks Compassion, It Breeds Frustration
While Air Peace has issued a strong statement condemning the conduct of a prominent Nigerian politician at the Lagos airport, it is equally important to reflect on the part the airline’s policies and customer service may have played in escalating the situation.

Yes, flight schedules are important, and timely departures are necessary. But what happens when a passenger — prominent or not — arrives barely 20 minutes before departure and is denied boarding without any flexibility or empathy? In many parts of the world, airlines make room for discretion in such borderline cases, especially when passengers are within the terminal and flights have not yet physically left the gate.

Air Peace’s zero-tolerance policy for aggression is commendable — no one supports violence or disorderly behavior. However, zero tolerance should not become a shield for zero accountability. If a high-profile figure like Senator Oshiomhole can be caught in such a frustrating situation, it begs the question: how often do ordinary Nigerians suffer silently under rigid procedures and impersonal treatment?

Rather than doubling down on bureaucracy, Air Peace should also address the core issue: customer experience. Was there proper communication before the gate closed? Were staff trained to manage such situations with professionalism and empathy? Was the customer — like many others — treated with dignity in that critical moment of distress?

This incident is not just about a politician’s behavior. It is a wake-up call for Nigerian aviation operators to reassess how they balance operational efficiency with humane service. Air Peace may have followed procedure, but it failed in perception and empathy — and in aviation, those count too.

No passenger should be above the rules, but no airline should be above accountability.

If u arrive 6.20 for a 6.30 flight, u are already late. If your flight is 6.30, u ought to be there by 5 latest for checkin and boarding. This is not God is good motors or peace mass transit.

Counter-View: Air Peace’s Statement on Lagos Airport Incident Raises More Questions Than Answers

While Air Peace’s condemnation of violence and unruly conduct is commendable in principle, the airline’s one-sided account of the June 11 incident at Lagos Airport demands scrutiny. The statement portrays the politician as the sole aggressor, but critical details are conspicuously absent, leaving room for skepticism about the airline’s operational integrity and customer service standards.

1. Was the Flight Truly "On Time"?
Air Peace claims the politician arrived at 06:10 AM for a 06:30 AM departure, with boarding already closed. However, industry standards typically require boarding to remain open until at least 10–15 minutes before departure, especially for domestic flights. Questions arise:

Was the boarding process abruptly closed earlier than advertised?

Were there prior delays or communication lapses that contributed to the passenger’s frustration?

Why was the politician not accommodated on the next available flight, if the delay was minimal?

Without clarifying these points, Air Peace’s assertion of "strict timelines" risks appearing as rigid customer service failure rather than operational discipline.

2. Proportionality of Response
While violence against staff is indefensible, the airline’s decision to publicly shame a "prominent politician" without due process or evidence (e.g., CCTV footage, independent witnesses) is equally troubling. If the individual indeed "sealed the gate," how did one person overpower airport security? Lagos Airport is a high-security zone; such claims strain credulity without corroboration.

Air Peace’s haste to label the incident as "unruly conduct" while omitting any context (e.g., whether the passenger was provoked or misinformed) suggests a deliberate effort to control the narrative rather than address systemic issues.

3. Contingency Plan or Cover-Up?
The airline boasts of an "operational contingency plan" to reroute passengers, but this raises further questions:

If contingency measures were so easily activated, why were they not deployed before the situation escalated?

How many passengers were affected, and what compensation was offered for the inconvenience?

Airlines globally prioritize de-escalation and customer care in such scenarios. Air Peace’s focus on punitive rhetoric—rather than accountability or reconciliation—reflects poorly on its commitment to service.

4. Selective Zero-Tolerance Policy
Air Peace’s "zero-tolerance" stance is laudable, but is it applied uniformly? Past incidents involving VIPs (e.g., delayed flights for government officials) suggest flexibility for the powerful. Why the sudden rigidity here? The public deserves transparency on whether this is consistent policy or selective enforcement.

Conclusion: Demand for Transparency
Air Peace’s statement reads like damage control, not accountability. To restore trust, the airline should:

Release CCTV footage of the incident.

Disclose its boarding timeline policies and deviations (if any).

Explain why mediation wasn’t attempted before escalation.

Passengers deserve airlines that balance punctuality with empathy. Until Air Peace addresses these gaps, its moral high ground remains questionable.

Exactly, business is not only about the soft side of making profits, dealing with customers properly with good customer service is key.

Their staff are not properly train to handle the hassles of airline operation. We have over a hundred airline companies, but everyday it's airpeace controversy.

This is what APC is all about: violence, thuggery, abuse of power, lack of respect for the people they swore to serve, indiscipline, and so much more.

Oshiomhole must be investigated and suspended if found guilty.

Unless the Senate is a useless institution like we know it to be

I think you are not exposed and lack English comprehension.

Air peace is not a public company. It's a private company out to make profits. Therefore, it's not a charity outfit.

It's better you know this. Insinuating of victim hood is an indication you lack understanding of business ethics.

Go back to school¡
