Lynx001:Yeah, it's a risk worth taking. With the nation having the largest economy on the African continent and a rising middle class that are beginning to value time more than ever before, Nigeria’s commercial aviation industry presents an attractive investment opportunity. 1 Like 1 Share |

Great but; When did he start biz? What big was he pulling in transport biz to be able to order 50 planes at once?? 50!!!!! Who are the investors in the airline? (Politicians?) Give us his history and dont just tell us to me someone out of the blues. Very soon the truth will come out and we will hear stories. Congrats to him! 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is what happens when foolish Igbos with doomed existence project the irredeemable hate they inherited from their bigoted parent from the womb but who cares. Your likes are fine committing suicide like over 2 million of your foolish kinsmen committed suicide during the Biafra war. No one cry over the death of fools not even the Europeans or the UN.

Mehn this is huge. Checked the guy profile on Bloomberg now and he is actually the founder and CEO of that great company. They have the record of the most airline purchased at once on the African continent. They already got the Nigeria aviation license. Nice to see a Young guy having this kind of dream. The company is also backed by a group of senior industry leaders led by Tom Horton, former chairman and chief executive of American Airlines, William Shaw, founder and former chief executive of VivaColombia and Virasb Vahidi, former chief commercial officer of American Airlines.

Commentor: Lol but the funny thing is SarkinYarki is very correct ion know if he works with FAAN to tho, the airbus is only limited to to a travel miles of 4k which of course the Pilot wouldn't wanna even dare reaching a mile of 4000 cause of the plane's carrying capacity of both fuel, passengers n luggages meaning the Pilot would be restricted to only miles of 3500 max indicating he can't fly Nigeria to Some major cities in the US, UK, Germany, Dubai e.t.c so if he can't fly these destinations which are top notch for Nigerians why is he getting 50? besides you don't start an airline business like that introducing 50 at a time just like that, you start gradually making a name bfr exploiting the aviation market with many airlines....but anyways just like you rightly said it's not our business 5 Likes |

fairfora: I completely agree with you. I have met an elderly gentleman like that. He is more or less a recluse . No noise at all. He lives amongst other billionaires, and you can't dismiss him when he talks and casually says he will branch to one country to see their president , on his way to another. He is a very simple dresser too, and you only suspect he is rich when you see how fresh his skin is, his wristwatch and shoes. 1 Like |

I don't know why Yorubas are crying bitter over simple criticism. You should know by now that hatred for each other is what makes us Nigerians, fuelled by Nairaland faceless forum. This same thing happens if it's either IGBO, HAUSA, Fulani. At least, we know Yoruba guys on this forum that would have said more if it was IGBO.. . So, be a man accept the critics and stop crying me a river already. I had an ocean filled one yesterday. |

SarkinYarki: Don't stress much when they try to trash your comments from an un-informed position. There are too many bloggers who will put out anything for a few Naira. Ask them to explain the dynamics of short haul and commercial viability in Nigerian airspace and see their folly. |
