“We fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49% as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour…watchdogs (regulatory body) that didn’t know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point…Nigeria people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane…that may be irony because the people make up the politicians…
“But those politicians are selfishwe did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venturerealising that the government didn’t bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria AirwaysThe joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians KILLED itNigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again..”Culled
