No, still doesn't work.

On a similar note, I was hopeful of trying Providus Bank, because apparently they are the only bank that allow USD transactions on their Naira cards. They have a policy to lock 100,000 (when last I checked) in the account for three months to receive the card. Didn't think it was worth it.

Thanks for the response, I’ve tried using physical dollar cards form two different banks domiciled in Nigeria as well as numerous virtual dollar and naira cards without success . I guess it’s just impossible to purchase apps on Microsoft Store with the location region set to Nigeria

Hi, did anyone find a fix for this? Currently experiencing the same issue.

Hi, can they deliver to Nigeria?

GreenandGold:
Exactly, Soviet war doctrine is not well thought off.

Honestly, the only reason why the Russians are still alive is because they're fighting poor Ukraine, if they had engaged any formal military with this strategy, they'd be inhalated by now.

I am no military expert here but I believe their approach would be different if they were fighting a NATO country.

The initial plan relied too heavily on a Ukrainian military that would be recalcitrant to fight and mostly flee before the “mighty” Russian army, hence the reason for using lightly armoured units, sometimes even reconnaissance units to attempt to occupy large cities, heck a riot police squad ‘omon’ of about 80 troops attempted to march on Kiev.
They only deployed about 30 to 35 percent of their initial troop build up on the border in the initial 3 days of the war and also mostly 70’s and 80’s era equipment used by the backwater eastern military districts

The vast majority of their capabilities have not been brought to bear, but that being said the greatest operational failure of the Russians was their failure to achieve air superiority within the first 72 hours of the war, the fact that TB-2 drones were still operational until about yesterday is unacceptable.

I saw three super Tucanos flying in low altitude formation over the runway in Abuja yesterday and then peeling off one by one in a high speed climb, unfortunately I couldn’t get my phone out in time and all I have is this crappy picture of them after they had landed. I guess we’ll be seeing them in the northeastern theatre soon.

tito44:
I am still amazed as to why a top General in the place of Chief of Army Staff should be flying in a old small turbo prop beechcraft 350 aircraft manufactured in the 70s. Is it that there re no modern aircrafts in NAF or NA fleet??

If the accident was indeed weather related, modern aircrafts wouldn't have just gone down like that..

Your assertion is factually incorrect, although the king air 350 was introduced in the 70's ,this was a newer variant and was purchased BRAND NEW in 2014 by the air force. Even the almighty US air force have a variant they use as well

Mixedfruit:
No more going to Lagos to board my flight to US
God is good

Lol, you clearly don't know anything about the Aviation industry if you think there will be direct flights from anambra to the US.

isthatso:
look at the signage. An Airline that cannot even get a good graphics designer for it's corporate logo probably wont be keeping to maintenance schedules and buying original parts. Fly their 19 yr old planes at your own risk, this is not road transport that you can ask the driver to park, you want to get down!

Lol I find this ironic because United Nigeria's ERJ- 145 fleet is newer compared to Air Peace's ERJ-145 fleet

Biggers82:
I Don't trust this United at all because Nigeria is not United and I won't fly that aircraft at all

Yeah, like you've ever been to an airport.

If the JF-17 is so bad why did the Indians abandon their SU30mkis and Mig29s for Rafales after tasting its (JF17s) abilities in actual combat. . Now the aircraft(JF17) is being equipped with SD10s, and Block3 with PL15s which is a very serious threat to anyone.. Also, we dont need an air museum with grounded planes for lack of operational funds. Twin engine aircraft (SUs and Migs )we dont need. We get more costs per plane and less pilots and flight time from the Russian plane than the Chinese one.

First off the rafales had been planned for a while under the mmrca deal. It would also interest you to know that the Indian Air force placed an additional order for 12 additional Su-30MKI's and 21 Mig-29s in June of last year.

The JF-17's alleged kill was pure propaganda by the PAF to conceal the use of F-16s which they later made a U-turn and admitted using.

The PAF F-16s Fired about 4 or 5 missiles against the Indian Su-30s without scoring a kill as, evidenced by the crashed Aim-120 missiles shown by India, One of those missiles was even shot down by an Su-30.

If the F-16 which is vastly superior to the JF-17( a Pakistani pilot once referred to them as a poor man's F-16) could not score a kill against the Su-30 what makes you think a JF-17 can?

jln115:
debatable.... But OK for the sake of peace I'll leave it at that

What exactly is debatable about it? I think it's a rather well rounded opinion.

The first of the 13 Embraer E-195E2 ordered by Air peace is almost set for delivery, Embraer released a time lapse video showing that work is nearing completion on the first aircraft.

It would be the first time in recent history that a scheduled Nigerian Commercial carrier would be taking delivery of brand new aircraft, it's a marked shift from the norm of used and sometime geriatric aircraft that dominate Nigerian air space.

Air Peace’s first #Embraer #E195E2 is taking shape. We just added the wings/empennage. The Nigerian airline is the first African carrier to fly the #E2. @flyairpeace #EmbraerStories pic.twitter.com/ib9QOzkaWW

ChimaAdeoye:
America loves to molest African business men. But it's okay. I knew when that guy cancelled his Boeing Max 8 orders and chose the Brazilian Embrayer jets, he was stoking American venom. They typically think blacks whether they are Americans or Africans cannot or shouldn't own multinational businesses unless it's fraud.

Allen should not be intimidated. He should quietly show them the documents for his funds transfer and then seek redress for the damage done to his personality and business.

Your prejudiced opinion laced with wildly inaccurate information is archetypal of the Nigerian psyche which seeks to make martyrs of individuals belonging to the same homogenous ethnic group as them when said individuals get their comeuppance.

Air peace HAVE not cancelled their order for 10 737 max 8 aircraft, and even if they were to renege on their commitment to buy the troubled airplane, that would hardly be grounds for vindictive action by the US government given the fact that 10 aircraft pales in significance when compared to a backlog of over 5,000 orders that Boeing have.

While I know your closeted world view does not allow you to see beyond your nose, I'd like to point out that Boeing recently acquired the commercial aircraft division of Embraer, so how could air peace placing orders for embraer aircraft attract the ire of the US government?

I have watched with a mixture of bewilderment and resignation how certain "woke" people on twitter; most of them belonging to the same ethnic group as Mr Onyema , perform mental gymnastics and bend over backwards to leap to his defence over the alleged charges against him.

They are being clever by half, insinuating that there was no wrong doing as he simply devised means to circumvent extant regulations and create conduits for "his" funds to reach the US. The question then his why go through all that trouble to avoid a paper trail? If the said funds were legally and dutifully acquired, why go to such lengths and hide under the guise of purchasing aircarft?

If you read the indictment charge sheet properly, you can clearly see where it was stated that he received foreign(non-american) funds, who do you think these "foreign" entities are if not our corrigible, unconscientious ,morally bereft thieving politicians?

Almajiri1:
For a start, Monarch Air Group, America Airlines. Airpeace is about announcing an aggressive project to grab a large pie in international aviation.

Oga You've got some screws loose in your head, American airlines with largest fleet in the world of almost 1000 aircraft will be worried about air peace with 25 second hand aircraft.

Its pointless engaging in intelligible discuss with individuals like you who are blinded by ethnicity.

Almajiri1:
This is far deeper than you think. Once Air Peace is positioning to be in direct competition with any American interest, Trust dirty to be dug up on you.

Why do you people always have this victim mentality, what American interest is Air peace competing against? Pray tell me? Is it the same air peace that placed an order with american airplane manufacturers ?

Its quite unfortunate that this charges are propping up because onyema seems to have a magnanimous heart, but they are probably genuine because right from inception people have wondered where oneyma got his start up funds from...I guess we have our answer

kikuyu1:
Occasionally we need to forget kinetic battlefield platforms to see further than MSM pronouncements and photo ops to see the wider picture. These are unphotoshopped,genuine pix of CIA agent Tim Osman,bka Osama bin Ladin. Here is a previous announcement of Baghadadi's death in the media way back in 2015.

https://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/04/27/isis-leader-al-baghdadi-dies-in-israeli-hospital/

Russian S-400 radar image during alleged Baghdadi take out. Russian intelligence inside Syria reported that their S400 radar systems which cover Idlib saw no American aircraft over the area where the Baghdadi raid was claimed.

Investigate everything! Things aren't always the way they seem!

Bro, I don't know what shi***t you're on but its strong as f***k.

Regarding the second image purporting to show Russian S-400 radar display images, That is categorically false. That radar imagery was released in the wake of an accidental shoot down of a Russian il-20 coot elint aircraft by a Syrian S-200, and it was released by the Russians to show that Israeli aircraft used the il-20 as a decoy during an air strike.

You can clearly see the 4 Israeli F-16's, the il-20 and the S-200 fired by Syrian air defences.

Regarding your "non-photoshopped' collage in the first pic, I think we have already established your credibility ....or lack of.

Becks27:
some body please answer me

The south african embassy is closed till further notice and until they
reopen, VFS is not attending to south african applicants

Greetings , Please I would like to find out if NIMC slip;the slip with NIN is an acceptable form of identification for my sponsor if I am applying for a training visa, as my sponsor's passport is currently not valid.

Hope, Aspirations, The belief that everything would turn out fine...

As long as it is a wet lease, it is not an issue. Most Airlines in the world operate dry and wet leases.

I guess you don't actually the difference between a wet and
dry lease, a wet lease does not encourage local content as all the operating crew of the aircraft (pilots , cabin crew) will all be expatriates . On the other hand a dry lease only involves leasing of the aircraft, all attendant crew are to be sourced by the operator.

fuckerstard:
See weapon. Any detective here who can identify that gun?

If dem mistaken go give SARS this kain gun...

The weapon in the first pic is a Compact tavor designated CTAR 21, its an Israeli made bullpup assault rifle,

The third pic, the one with the guy in the foreground resting his palm on the vehicle: He's holding a Belgian made FN-F2000 also a bullpup design.

czarina:
Brilliant. Just brilliant but I'm positive FG or whoever the "contract" of finding a domain name is awarded to will not even bother pricing his "market". They'll always find a way around it

Thought so as well, they would simply choose another domain name e.g FlyNigeriaAir.com or something else.

A business savvy individual or a greedy Nigerian( Depends on how you look at it) by the name of Olumayowa Elegbede , has claimed ownership of the domain names of NigeriaAir.ng and NigeriaAir.com.ng and put them up for resale at a cost of 24 million naira each.($66,489).

Entrepreneur or Unpatriotic Opportunist? What's your take?

As depicted in the picture, it appears the airline will make use of Boeing 737 max aircraft for regional routes and Airbus A330 for long haul routes

In keeping in line with the promise to re-birth the country's aviation flag bearer, the Federal Government a few minutes ago unveiled the name, logo and proposed aircraft type for the new national carrier. Pictures below

The task force set up by the FG to mid-wife the birth of the proposed National carrier is inviting the general public to help suggest names for the startup airline, they have provided a website where you can drop your ideas, link below

This makes absolutely no sense, there are only two operators,namely Air Peace and Arik that posses more than ten aircrafts in their fleet, what happens to the other airlines?

jteku:
See how Dapchi girls were flown to Abuja on a C-130 Hercules, than my head clicked and I remember there was a time NAF acquired a B737-500, does anyone have any idea what happened to that plane
