""My challenge now is landing NICON Airways at Heathrow, the soil of Great Britain and presenting to the Queen of England an assurance that a Nigerian can operate safe and efficient airline for the people of England," he explained."

Is it just me, or does this statement expose Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim's unprofessionalism, subconscious self-loathing, inappropriate emotive outbursts, and plain idiotic PR? To put icing on the cake, some irrelevent reference to colonialism?

Are we not in the year 2006, the year of transborder cooperation and alliances? Why should being "Nigerian" or "the Nigerian factor" be an issue today?

I almost skipped a heart beat reading this nonsense! What's even more shocking is that this statement was published on almost every newspaper/website out there!
