After paying millions for LOGO design

Should 'suspend' be the right word? From my understanding of the word, you can only suspend what is in progress (however little). Nothing tangible was really done about this, save the unveiling of the name and logo - with the accompanying fanfare. How long would it take a serious set of people to float an airline? 100 years? Take a certain Air Peace as an example. This company took off in 2013 (5 years ago), as a strictly private concern. Today, it flies to about 20 destinations and has a fleet of about 20 aicrafts (mostly Boeing 737s), and has recently ordered an additional 13 aircrafts (10 of which are NEW Boeing 737 Max 8; they will fly straight in from the Boeing plant in Renton, Washington D.C.) in an industry where most airlines actually operate aircrafts on lease, and where aircrafts as old as 15 years are considered relatively new! So what excuse does a nation have in not being able to operate a viable and profitable airline? Did Buhari not find time to go gallivant in Oshogbo? These guys just don't know what it takes...our priority scale is warped! So bleeping warped. It beats me how the alarm hasn't sounded yet in our heads, even with the way things have gone. This is no blind, uninformed criticism. I gave the Air Peace-example so that we can see that we aren't cursed or shackled, we simply are not bothered enough. Talk of blissful ignorance.

MAKE ME UR PRESIDNT. AND U HAVE HAVE LIGHT FOR THE 4 YEARS I WILL use as President

SyberKate:
I wonder what will happen to all those people who bought domain names

I hope you all now understand Ezekwesili's sarcasm that "it must fail". She knew in advance no such enterprise would see the light of the day as long as the Nigerian government is involved.

Lol

A failed nation. Always withdrawing and giving of excuses

Sealeddeal:
Useless regime

REALLY USELESS
We have been insulted too much in this country.
Everybody na PROPHET for Nigeria, since one no need to see better thing again

This is LIFELESSLY BUBULISTIC

excomarow:


Worse happened in PDP

So farabale

We meet here again.

Are you yoruba?

She is a rabble rouser and noise maker

SageTravels:
First of all before I proceed, I want all those that insulted Mrs Oby Ezeks to apologize to her.

Another promise cancelled. I remember the docile lazy youths who are diehard supporters of this government and it's president were all jubilant when Sirika was launching the "airline" on a projector screen thousands of miles away from Nigeria. These same youths full of bile abused anyone who said it would fail then.
The Nigerians that we're not charmed by the All Promises Cancelled gangsters are not against Nigeria, they are for Nigeria. They are not enemies of progress or democracy. They are not PDP. They are stakeholders of the commonwealth that is being pillaged daily. Fighting with their words and actions to see Nigeria free and possibly great someday.

When some people pointed out some areas that never made sense they were lambasted here on nairaland even butterfly and co argued, some as usual started labelling us ipob......

ollah2:
Nigeria should be auctioned to the highest bidder.

No one is willing to bid so we are stuck here.

ALL PROMISE CANCEL (APC)

what of the logo they designed with a billion Naira, are they going to ask for a refund Zaire Barbar is a criminal

This is a very concise and informed statement rooted in insight of the aviation industry.

May God continue to replenish your intellectual store.

laurel03:

These rogue polithiefcians are not fit for purpose, their brains can't keep up with modern day governance and challenges - it's a fast pace environment.

They are all tragedy to Nigeria.

When you have a figure head as your president and you expect things to work.

This is the same airline whose logo unveiling was widely celebrated as a huge achievement by Buhari zombies

Now it can't even get off the ground


Such a pity!

why is it that the adjective "Nigerian" is never used when qualifying the word "Nigeria" in Nigeria? I'm no linguist but i think they shouldn't be making such blunders.

Oby Ezekwesili should be on the run ooh.. she'll soon be charged by Mr. Transmission for dooms day prediction.

Reuben Abati wrote extensively on this Air Nigeria project and things that needs to be put in place before the venture can pull through successful but the clueless government and her horde of propagandists refused to seek Better counsel.

Scandal is in APC DNA they never fail to live up to that billing
