Is the UK still dreaming in the sleeping of colonization? Why retaliating when the Nigeria have as the master (GB) itself do? I just can’t understand when the west still thinking as if we are still living in the past.
BA and Virgin would be the losers if they do not comply, other European airliners are waiting for them to make the mistake they did during the Abacha days when they had the costly face off with the maximum ruler. It took them a lot to find their way back into the Nigerian thriving airspace. Win or lose it ought to be better for the Nigerian flyer.
Hear me out-LOUD and CLEAR! I hope to be governor of my state DELTA one day, then you will see western trained education in action against this inhumane bedbugs, but meanwhile, this is for you- NCAA and Nigeria House of Rep. Only if you're a dog that returns to its own vomit DO NOTHING about this BA, VIRGIN, KLM airlines exploitation of our poor citizens in the pretense of demand and supply over the past 15 years, if not, don't BACKDOWN. BA, VIRGIN, and other airlines will come down on their knees to beg if you stick to your policy and do not collect not even a dime of their bribe. TRY IT! and may the Lord help us all. Enough is enough.
