Bastard I just stated the obvious, what should I say instead?

YourbaAreSlaves:


Shut up your mouth and zip that gutter you call mouth, stop using that "sentimental" sermon on me, no one is sentimental here but some people are more patriotic than others in the same country. I have been to different countries of the world and you can hardly find any country that slanders their own brands in public and chooses brands from other countries like some of you foolish Nigerians do, especially you yorubas who always feel threatened by Igbos successes.
I have told you i have flown Ethiopian Airline more than once and there is nothing special about their aircrafts, they are actually old and worn out inside, the last time I checked the latest crash in Africa war an Ethiopian Air plane while Airpeace has never crashed before but fools like you won't see that, only to be beclouded by hate for the Igbo man is your motivation..

You claim you as not sentimental but you called Onyema an Ex militant and you are not sentimental lolzz, you are quite a hopeless fool. What is your proof that he is an ex militant and what the fucck has being an ex militant got to do with an Airline for Christ sakes if not for character assassination motivated by hate and envy that is inbuilt in every Yoruba man.
China became great not by being perfect over night but by improving on their brand as they USE and SELL it, you can never find a Chinese person choose any brand that is foreign over their own locally made no matter how substandard there's seem, and one wonders why they are so rich that all African presidents are heavy in the Chinese debt today.

If Nigeria was a serious country the Government could have insisted on Airlifting her citizens with her home grown Airline, that's how countries respect you and not always preferring foreign made to yours no matter how tempted you are. That was how some fools always shouted there are two Shoprite in Ibadan all the time as if having Shop rite in your town is ticket to heaven yet money made from that Shoprite goes straight to South Africa to love-vendor their country even more. All these African countries won't even let you bring some businesses to their country even if you are their last hope, they have regulations that is followed strictly by Government agencies, but it's only in Nigeria that foreign Airlines are even doing state to state local flights, sucking us dry and taking the money to their country and All we do is post videos on Instagram dancing Zanku and forming Porsche in a business class of a plane and you wonder why Nigeria is now gradually left behind by those other "wicked" African countries in terms of development.

What right have the Canadian to dictate to the Nigerian Government the airline to use to evacuate her citizens

Dewze:


I believe Canada has the right to determine the kind of aircraft they want and do not want in their airspace.

Tissaia:
Wow that's Awesome. Letting criminal and a scammer to help means you are justifying what he is accused of. Thanks Canada for opening FG eyes to see the grave mistake they are doing.
Don't mention me, it's my opinion and majority of sane people with common sense.

abnot:
I've always believed that cost of travelling the Nigerian routes are over priced by these western carriers but here we are glorifying them and bringing down the investment an individual is trying to build.

Your Terrorist Northerners and Yoruba brothers killed Nigeria Airways!

Don't hate on the ever progressive Ibos, becuase that's why Nigeria isn't moving forward.

Dididrumz:
The Nigerian government hardly takes responsibility of their citizens.

And that's bad

Wiseandtrue:

Took my time to read the inconsistencies, gibberish oozing from the mouth of our president and you will want to gift Trump a trophy or calling him lifeless!

The write-up lacks substance, the type of jist that cannot even emanate from the beer parlor

What's Air Peace fault You admitted that they were the cheapest, They charged $1, 134 while Ethiopian Airlines charged $2, 500 for the same exercise.

What right have the Canadian to dictate to the Nigerian Government the airline to use to evacuate her citizens

If the Federal Government is taking over, with what
With the varnished Nigerian Air

So many inconsistencies with lack of solid plans, believe me that this might mark the end of this project!!!

I spit on this government!!!

Can they consistently ever get anything right

If you are patronizing the Ethiopian Airlines, how do we buy Nigeria to grow Nigeria

andivirus:


I'm not surprised, if we had a government things would have been better than they are now.

Nigeria government are just bring back stranded students in Canada or people that went for business and corona virus caught them, or psychiatric patients that went for brain check up. No person in his right senses will come back in Nigeria right now even people in Congo, Chad or even Syria will like to come to Nigeria even when things are right in the country. You people should go and bring back students joo.

Nobody is glorifying foreign at the expense of Nigeria, if anything it is humiliating they charge Nigerians so much and provide us with such bad services. I am just pointing out the level to which we have sunk and if you do not think we have sunk, then with due respect you are burying your head in the sand. Secondly, this is in-house constructive criticism, this is nairaland not "worldland" despite the fact that we may have foreign observers. it is one thing to represent Nigeria to ousiders, it is another to delude ourselves amongst ourselves and pretend we dont have a problem. You defend your own from outsiders but you must be able to speak the truth amongst ourselves or else we get comfortable with mediocrity and are shames in the international community which is what is happenning. It is exactly the malaise of the Nigerian that has led to a situation where a so called "giant of Africa" has no reputable international airline.

Many have come and gone, Okada, Kabo, Sosoliso, Bellview, Arik (which I had great hopes for) but they all fail because they approach aviation with the Nigerian mindset of accepting low standards and cutting corners or simply as an avenue to park ill gotten gains without the required expertise. You will NOT gain international recognition, if you operate with a lower standard even if that low standard is acceptable in your home nation.

The world is leaving us behind in many facets of our lives, this is just one. Nigeria should be the hub for aviation in Africa, we are uniquely positioned at the centre of Africa but Ethiopian Airline, from a country 1/5th the size of Nigeria is the largest and the most internationally recognised Airline in Africa. it's not putting Nigeria down, it's just stating the facts. You can see it as Nigerian bashing or a wake up call...the choice is yours. I am responsible for what I say not how you hear it.

The humiliation of not even being allowed to evacuate our own citizens home with our own Airline should be a wake up call that we need to up our game!!!

To change course, you 1st have to accept the path you are on is not the right one.

This is a rare occurrence. When all Nigerians are relocating to Canada, these one are begging to leave Canada. Is it the same Canada?

senatordave1:

Ethiopia is bigger than Nigeria,older than Nigeria and was never colonized.don't compare

ajl:


You are surely the one who is not in the right frame of mind.

abnot:


You’re also right from the perspective you’ve just described . From the little I know about aviation , Nigeria does not need more than two or three strong airlines . Also shameful that some airlines operate just two or four aged fleet . There needs to be a better regulation that will see through the emergence of stronger airlines. It’s a shame that Nigerian airlines have failed to adopt best practices by hiring professional managers and building something they’d be proud of years later. They are all fragmented and competing among each other for the domestic space whereas the foreign airlines are repatriating over $2bn annually. They had better introduce regulations that will make our airlines more competitive. The minister of aviation is pursuing a national carrier project which is not likely to succeed.

isthatso:


There was a time Nigeria banned aircraft above 20 or 15 years, I believe it was after the bellview crash but as usual, we don’t maintain or enforce laws. I’m sure some big man lobbied to have it relaxed.

abnot:


At least stronger financial regulations forced banks to merge. Imagine a regulation forcing airlines to have at least 15 aircrafts to be able to qualify for commercial operations and a maximum fleet age of 15 . They’d be forced to merge or look for investors . Look at how medview disgraced Nigeria by operating a scheduled service to Gatwick with only one aircraft. The aircraft got grounded and passengers got stranded . Same with arik air : they started well but later became a mediocre airline with no regards for Client/operator contracts. Today airpeace on the domestic route has no regard for passenger ticket timing. You buy a 1:30pm flight ticket and they depart hours later blaming it on poor airport infrastructure and weather. Although I once read that they were replacing their fleet with a modern embraer .

One of the problems with Nigeria is that airlines these days are floated by people who have made their fortunes by cutting corners and. Or following due process, so they take that attitude into the aviation industry.

Nigeria doesn’t suffer from a lack of regulation, the problem is enforcement. Like I said I am sure they banned aged aircraft after the bellview crash
