Somebody tell the Princess...

You don't 'lament at' anything. You can 'lament,' or if you want to waste some words you can 'lament over,' but 'at' you do not lament.

So, the British High Commissioner came crawling into Her...

The politics of business...

I have been away for just about 6 years now, and it's good to see that Nigeria and its people, some of them anyway, is and are just about the way I remember it and them.

The cruel and rapacious...

What a pity...

If Arik could manage with Gatwick, what a difference that would make. Only Heathrow will do, though, and nobody else will just sort of give them some slots so that this must be British treachery...

Do carry on!

I was griping about Arik back when it was just getting going, before the wheels had come off, because it was backed by a gang of documented shady types. (Go read 'Saharareporters,' and don't listen...

Different sides of the same page?

You cannot have it both ways, saying that Arik does "good" but also expecting the Nigerian government to crack down on them when they do bad!

The whole point of raking up this muck about the shady...

If you say so...

What do you mean by that pearl of wisdom, Mr Smith, not throwing the baby out with the bath water? We should separate our refuse nowadays: babies go in the bin, bathwater down the drain? Was that...

There is something wrong with this picture!

This outfit was dodgy from the start so, please, where is the "good" they are trying to do? I just do not see that anywhere. Here we have passengers...

More stupid questions...

We have evidence piled up knee-high of unpaid wages, unpaid bills, total chaos in general at Arik yet what must be a billion dollars worth of Boeings are still listed on the order books.

If Arik...

This is symptomatic...

There is a very familiar pattern here to be seen, I think, one that most people could see from the start. All that is different with Arik is the size of the thing, a scam run with really huge numbers...

Sorry, but...

I understand that the primary concern must be, "Hey! Where is my pay?" but an obvious secondary one must then be, "So, why haven't these guys been paid on time?" That is where this stuff about the...

Do tell...

Can you enlighten me then? Do you know something specific or are you just making an informed guess about what Boeing get up to? Same as I was doing re: Airbus, I guess...

Thanks for the tip about...

Sure...

10 percent is traditional. Have a look around the local landscape to see how many "ten-percenters" there are, particularly in Lagos and Abuja, shadowy figures with lots of bling and a shiny Tokunbo...

Is there a surprise in this?

Nigeria Airways was a very loyal customer of Boeing... until they swapped their 737s for A310s, and we all saw how that worked out!

Arik got a lot of free publicity over their massive order for...

These guys really do "give a dog a bad name" by making deals and not sticking to them, much like many other Nigerians in aviation. Have a look in "Rotorheads" here for so-called Caverscam and their...

Yes...

A little slip there but the truth seems to be one really massive level of indebtedness on the part of the local airlines, when one has to ask how this has been allowed to happen!
