Nothing will bring me greater joy than to see a successfull VK. It will be the pride of all Nigerians. As I said before, Jimoh should put his money in, and let the ethiopian(s) get to work without any interference. I dont think there should be a mad rush to bring in long haul aircraft either, afterall Arik does London & JNB with a 737NG sometimes. Stick to one type, and I suggest the 737 considering their price/maintenace and also capacity. You how much load we carry when we Nigerians travel. Train/empower your own and pay them well, encourage fresh ideas from people, thats the only way you can see your way through the storm and lastly, get to know Goodluck Jonathan ASAP!!! The guy is looking like he's gonna be there for a while, at least that will give you time to get on your feet implement your ideas(he might even agree to the idea of a hub).
