#StillOnNigeriaAir
If not arrogant ignorance, some folks would have hidden their faces in shame, kept quiet and maybe be enlightened, especially seeing that they have goofed. Sadly many of them are incapable of being educated. So they proudly exhibit their willful ignorance. Image
The aircraft with the inscription 'NIGERIA AIR' that we saw landing at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja two days ago did not get there suddenly, by magic, accident, or by trick.
It was a product of years of deft negotiations, planning, preparation & following due processes to fulfil all necessary business & aviation requirements to ensure that a sucessful & enduring national career for Nigeria is birthed. As PMB would say: "Order is better than speed".
If some of these nattering folks bothered a bit to pay attention all this while, they would have known that in June last year, the NCAA presented an Air Transport License (ATL) to the interim management of Nigeria Air, the proposed national carrier, led by Captain Dapo Olumide.
An ATL certification is a document that states the kinds of operations a carrier will embark on; scheduled, non-scheduled, cargo air services within and outside Nigeria.

I posted in on my wall then, but many of these folks, in their ultra pessimism, did not bother to take note
If some of these folks as much as paid the least attention in the last 8 years, they wouldn't be asking the kind of dumb questions some of them are asking today & making noise all over the place.

Not only over Nigeria Air but over other landmark developments under @MBuhari .
Little wonder, in their ignorance and mischief, they parrot 'Buhari has failed'.

Some of these folks actually know the truth, especially the vex & ex Buharists among them. They are only trying friutlessly and shamelessly to justify their premature ejaculation that Buhari failed.
To most of them, Buhari failed because they didn't get what they wanted personally or because they didn't know or understand what change & nation rebuilding meant or entailed in the first place.

Well. I've got bad news for them. Nigeria Air has come to stay & it'll be a success.

#NigeriaAir
Surely, They Do Not Know What They Are Saying ...

📌 They say the Aircraft belongs to Ethiopian Airline.

Well, Ethiopian Airline has majority ownership of Nigeria Air (49%). Nigeria Air is one of its subsidiaries. So why not? What is the issue there?
📌 They say it is an "old aircraft". Then they say the aircraft is 10 years old.

I ask: How is a 10 year old aircraft an "old aircraft"? What is the lifetime of an average Boeing aircraft? It has a lifespan of around 35 years or 90,000 flight hours. So what are they saying?
📌 They say why a small country like Ethiopia & Ethiopian Airline?

I laugh. It is not by size. Ethiopian Airline is 77 years in operation this year. How old is Nigeria as a nation itself? It is not an excuse, but it is the truth.
So what is their point?

🇬🇧 British Airways
British Airways is the flag carrier of the United Kingdom. Despite that nationalistic sounding tag, British Airways is not a state-owned airline.

BA was privatised in 1987 & is now wholly owned by IAG, an Anglo-Spanish airline consortium.
International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. (IAG) is a multi-national holding company registered in Spain with its corporate headquarters in London, UK.

IAG owns majority stakes in a number of large airlines including BA (100%), Iberia (100%) & British M International (BMI).

#DesperateNDDCCabal
Lauretta Onochie? Demand Exotic Cars, 18 Aides, Mansion?
These people truly do not know this woman that they are fighting one bit.
A woman who in one of our usual candid talks on general life issues, long before talk of any NDDC appointment came up,
said to me that what a person needs is a shelter.

That if you have an accommodation and you can afford to pay your rent, that is all you need. Of course she was living in a rented apartment herself then even as aide to the president.
It is most unfortunate how petty and low people can go. In their desperation, they have now become plain stu*pid.

And For What?

Just to be allowed to keep packing more money from the NDDC on top of the ones they already have while the rest of the people go hungry.
