You forget to mention that OBJ and his houseboy saint Atiku destroyed the remnant of Nigerian airways

Sentiment will kill you. You forgot to mention the origin of the demise of Nigeria Airways with Shehu Shagari and Buhari in Power. The airways was doing well when Obasanjo was in power till 1979.
The introduction of International Monetary Fund policies, along with corruption,mismanagement and overstaffing, led to a steady decline of Nigeria Airways from the 1980s. The carrier had accumulated significant debts that outstripped its revenues from the mid-1980s, to the extent that aircraft were detained or impounded for unpaid debts.

Read "Honour for Sale" and I must say no be today corruption start for 9ja

Too bad to be true!
Naija is now a scaler quantity!

Ive never dropped a tear for Nigeria and never will...thanks

These are all lies.....this country never worked even before independence and would probably never work. So shove it.

Nigeria hostess in 1973, Nigeria leaders are among the best in the world. They have turned Nigeria airways to a super intercontinental carrier with 1500 destination across the globe, generating 150 billion naira yearly and providing jobs to 10,000 Nigerians, Kenya and Ethiopia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates have indicated interest in learning the magic industrious Nigerians, now the towering pride of the black world.

So so sad, that we have lost it.

Nigerian Airways is a microcosm of Nigeria.

There was a country

Wow, the good old days.

No sane Nigerian will shed a tear for this fraudulent nation.

Shame on our managers in the national level , they colluded with foreigners to ruin our investment so that they can replaced it with their private companies. Nigeria Airways of blessed memory is elegant in the sky. Someone will now come and say we are rebuilding Nigeria they have done nothing

Every couple of months, you will create a new thread with this same picture and writeup. Then alternate it with your usual zombie posts. Are you not tired?

Industrious keh?

Were they the ones that built that plane at the background?

Borrow borrow make me shine.

It took just a few years to open their nyash and empty brain.

But today the case is different as everyone is busy collecting and diverting the economy to individual base levels

LORBISH if you like be there CLYING as if they are FLYING things ALOUND you. MTcheew! indaboski...

Vote for me again come 2023. I will bring a change in this country. N1 will become $1 . Petrol price will be reduced. i will provide jobs for 6million Nigerians. and so on... and so on.
So our Pathetic fools will still vote them yet come here to shed tears..

With the current crop of brain-dead, self-serving leaders, the shithole is beyond redemption!

Reference:


Not holding fast for Nigeria. The country is a mess but of those four airlines mentioned SAirways has gone bankrupt, Kenya and Ethiopia Airlines are mammoth millstones around the ne ks of those countries and Emirates barely turns a profit. No country in the developed world operates a national carrier wholly these days. Like oil, the business is cutthroat, fluid and vulnerable.The kinds of subsidies paid to the likes of Air France, Lufthansa and other marquee carriers will so ply bankrupt a country like Nigeria.

We should not be anywhere bear acquiring or operating an airline as a nation. We should rather encourage the private sector to invest IN AN AVIATION INDUSTRIAL BASE first to have the capacity to maintain aircraft. For pride sake we may make the very best performing airline our national flagship or flag carrier on a renewable term basis.

Bro I like the way you think jare.... While everybody else is bitten around the bush you went straight to the point state why Nigerian airways crashed.

With the current crop of brain-dead, self-serving rulers, the shithole is beyond redemption!

Nairaland has really become a child's play. Moderators approve stupid things everyday. How does this bring tears to my eyes? Imagine someone will even kill snake and run out to post and moderator will bring it to front page. Another stupid one, a lady broke up with her boyfriend , the guy ran here to make noise about it and suddenly its on front page. Everything is becoming too boring and annoying. Nairaland is now place for snake and monkey killers

And could you believe that the motion to establish that Agency was successfully moved at the Parliament by Late Chief S.L. Akintola, the last Premier of Western Region. Yet this was one of the people that was maliciously killed. by the coup plotters on January 15, 1966 on the pretence that they wanted to install another prominent politician as the Prime Minister of Nigeria. Blessed are the death of righteous people for they shall rest from their labour. Nigeria never had it so good again since then.

I know you hate igbos here and on twitter but I want to be sure of something, Which tribe was mostly in power when this was happening?/ I expect you to know... Just asking

I no see any tears in my eyes.

CapitalHYC:
Hmm... The country is now a shadow of itself coz its foundation was even faulty from the start.. SMH

My friend will you shut up! Nothing was wrong with the foundation as you can clearly see.

Nigeria ain't worth my tears!

nothing is wrong with foundation some people without human brain, for them to continue the work of the founding father they wrecked it

Not just that figure. The whole thing is. No way in the world they served 1500 destinations. That's a whole lot of destinations...LOL! I don't even think they served 50 destinations. While I understand what the article is trying to say, all the figures mentioned are seriously exaggerated!! To give some perspective, Today Delta and British Airways fly to 242 and 170 destinations respectively. And these are 2 of the largest airlines in the world.

XANDERBOY85:
That figure of 150 billion per year is suspect considering the naira at that point was roughly equla to the dollar. Maybe they meant to say 150 million naira.

The story doesn't draw any tears from me! The elements running Nigeria today are the same ones that ran it back then and ran it aground! The rot wasn't showing that much then because they had just started their ruinous control of power, plus the fact there was plenty of petro-dollars to cover up their mistakes at the time!

Can any good come from hausa fulani?

slaypapa:

You don't know? Their IQ is higher than the blacks

That's very incorrect...
I feel so amazed that there's still this level of inferiority complex among the blacks...

....Until Obasanjo, Shagari and Babangida military govts. Prodigals and profligates came to power to deplete the fortunes. And in 1988 sold out the assets, aircrafts and as well as 124 ships of Nig. Airways and Nat. Shipping. Lines...
