izzou: Think no more my bro. Our orientation and thought process are very faulty. No nation can ever progress with a population of humans who reason like animals in a jungle. Animals in jungles always fight each other, trample on the weak just to sustain themselves. They don't care what happens to others provided they themselves are fine. |

Eaa247: if you want to know, go back to 1983-85. The same person that set Nigeria on the reverse path is still the same person the sai-baba! crowd voted in blindly two years ago, and we have lost all progress gathered in the past 30-something years all over again (people will buy into media propaganda rather than facts, because the majority of the populace are lazy and docile). Nigerians never used to 'run abroad', it was actually the other way round, until this idiot came and ruined peoples dreams and aspirations with backward and outdated policies that had no place in modern society... and people started looking for better opportunities outside the country. The same thing is happening all over again, because we have refused to learn as a people. The air transport situation is a continued reminder of what peoples hope and aspirations have become... big ambitions and no enabling environment to soar beyond the clouds at a sustained rate due to backward and crippling policies. 1 Like |

its worthy to note that not all of these airlines failed as a result of poor management, some failed as a result of increased global competition and unfavorable policies from western nations, that barred planes from Nigeria from entering their countries yet they forced our govts to open our skies for their planes. newer air crafts were just too expensive to buy in numbers for the average Nigerian entrepreneur, other things like test and service equipment could only be sourced abroad, our aeronautical engineering students cant thrive here, they go abroad and are lost forever. doesnt it surprise you thay in yhe 90s we had kabo air, chanchangi air, okada air and othet private airlines, then in one swoop they disappeared all at once, me thinks there was a ploy to decimate these indigenous airlines. |

quentin06: Aircraft have a limited, finite lifespan, after which they MUST be scrapped, so that they do not fall apart in the sky, due to metal fatigue cracks, among thousands of other possible mechanical failures. Since Nigerian-owned aircraft are often bought USED, they are already well on their way to the point of no return, even before they are repainted and used for regional air travel within the country. With this in mind, it is not a sign of "poor maintenance culture", to see aircraft rusting away in Africa, since there are substantially LARGER aircraft scrap yards in the Arizona desert.

Jakumo:Why keep such planes? Why not butcher them and use them for spare parts as we do here in Nigeria? |
