Rossikki: @OP have you been to Addis Ababa International Airport? Have you even been to Accra nearby? Can you compare your MMIA with those? We lack maintenance culture and worst, we bleed of high level corruption. Lets get our priorities right first. Ask yourself this question. Can you show me any FG parastatal or corporation that you can point to as being operated functionally, If you cannot, then know the Air Nigeria project is just another white elephant project. Goid as it may seem, this us not our priority now. How many power plants has this govt initiated since coming into office 3.5yrars ago? Do your children attend public schools? Why if not. What us your minimum wage per month? $50 I suppose. So, how do you want to showcase your poorly paid employees before the world? Hiw are you able to compete with the BAs, AirFrance, KLM, etc with your poor maintenance culture? Have you asked yourself the whereabouts if many airlines operating in Nigeria, say 10 years ago? They have all gone moribund. Lets reason with our heads and not with our heart. |

Rossikki: Gbawe:Except there are new statements she made which I haven't seen, I follow her on twitter and to the best of my knowledge, Madam Oby did not say she wished for Nigeria Air to fail, bloggers probably gave that interpretation. What I understand she said was that there were certain 'very obvious' impeding factors in the Nigerian aviation sector which have always killed every effort to set up a successful national carrier. And that as long as those bottlenecks are not taken away FIRST, the government setting up a national carrier REMAINS an ill-though move which will eventually end in failure like the others before it. While I do not fully agree with her, I thought it was necessary to clarify her real statements so we don't end up dedicating an entire thread discussing a misquoted statement. |

They didn't read the whole post. They just took the headline and ran with it and started name-calling. The main issue here is as you've so cleverly pointed out: "..there were certain 'very obvious' impeding factors in the Nigerian aviation sector which have always killed every effort to set up a successful national carrier. And that as long as those bottlenecks are not taken away FIRST, the government setting up a national carrier REMAINS an ill-though move which will eventually end in failure like the others before it." I wish people would stop focusing on motive, and focus on instead on issues. We have a lot of priorities as a Nation. #NotNationalAirline should not be one them. obailala: |

Praying that it fails is not productive - and it is alienating the folks on the other side of the argument. Let's focus the conversation on the merit of starting a National Airline in the midst of competing priorities. You have to admit that prioritizing this is suspicious. ITbomb: 1 Like

I agree that those calling for the Airline to fail are taking it a step too far but do you see the value in that approach - it is getting you to consider why they would take such a bold step to pray for the failure of a project in a country we love. Sadly, that's the only way to get people's attention on social media nowadays. Nevertheless, the main issue here is that there's a trend of mismanagement and history of failed attempts at a National Carrier. Those issues have not been fixed, and we have a lot more pressing issues to resolve. Surely we should all be screaming: #NotNationalAirline Rossikki:

Nigeria isn't a Nation. neither is it a country. We are just a group of nationalities in a geographical space. i knew that she would be frustrated and it is happening because the reason for the APC take over was done for selfish interest. nobody is patriotic to anything we are just deceiving our selves. SOME TIMES WHEN PEOPLE SAY "YOUR COUNTRY" i try to understand what exactly they mean. you cant be called fellow citizens when you hate each other. OIL is the thing that joins us together and one day Africa would be reorganized. everybody with his or her own country. one that we can be patriotic to. for now, let us still remain the crabs in a bucket.... |

Many Nigerians including the likes of Oby and frustrated and disgruntled Igbos have the poor man support mentality syndrome, they cry and yell rubbish about the poor man, but always quick and ready to attack every government program and economic move designed to help the same poor man. Seriously, where do they thing the government source the funds and programs to help the poor man? Is it not by drumming up investments to create jobs, expand business opportunities and grow the government's IGR base for needed funds to invest in infrastructures to create more jobs and to better the the poor man and Nigerians in general? Nigeria Air means jobs for Nigerian from pilots to hostesses, ground crew, garbage handlers, ticketing staff and agents, tour companies, catering and in flight food companies, vendors and suppliers, lawyers, accountants, advertisers, print companies, fuel suppliers, auto dealerships and ultimately all these entities paying government taxes that we all need for infrastructures and life changing benefits. Nigerians have been bastardized and traumatized by decades of rot, corruption and incompetence that they've turned into mindless and thoughtless zombies with negative thoughts, anti Nigerian and unpatriotic state of mind. This is the kind of rubbish we expect from Igbos, but not from people like Oby. Obviously, Oby goofed, but instead of backtracking and altering her horrible and disgusting comments, she's doubling down, but I'm glad Nigerians are slamming her and her unfortunate, unpatriotic and anti Nigerian comments. |

Rossikki:This right here is what a lot of Nigerians don't understand or refuse to acknowledge. Just as Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP party were not Nigeria so also, is Buhari and the APC party not Nigeria. Nigeria is bigger than these entities and in hating or seeking to destroy any one of them, it will be good to always remember this. |

Gbawe: welcome back gbawe. I'm super excited to see your post and I hope you will be posting more frequently. Welcome back veteran. You have been missed. |

Gbawe: And you are one of foolish Nigerians who supported Buhari even going so far as to stake your rep on it. As I assume is obvious enough folks still certify idiocy. just as was under the spectacled dictator. As long as you keep posting I will keep insulting Buhari supporters like you who left when it became increasingly obvious the leopard never changed its spots. That said, on the issue of Nigeria Air I couldn't care less about Ezekwesili's intentions. It will be another failure, like Nigeria Airways and Virgin Nigeria before it plus numerous other examples and the country bungling public enterprise because we have a kleptomaniac and inept govt. lacking in vision. |
