Adieu Jimoh, don't let the door hit in in the rear

I knew this clown wouldn’t last the day he started making regular press releases and acting as know-it-all tycoon, eclipsing his Ethiopian MD and rubbishing professional PR. The day he invoked patriotism and national pride, when he was supposed to prepare a careful business plan. The day his Chief Accountant threw the towel and leaked serious doubts about AN’s fleet safety. He could have saved himself the embarrassment had he entrusted the show to a professional, international management and went home. I say good riddance. The exit of AN and Dana should be an opportunity for a sector-wide shake up. Anything associated with that damned name Virgin Nigeria was bound to fail. His grandiose “patriotic” plan to save Nigeria’s flag carrier and fly the Nigerian flag just didn’t see the light of the day. Someone needs to tell him that emotive nostalgia and theatrics don't put food on anyone’s table. It’s so 1980s. Review the economics and do your homework. Wet leasing A330s and launching LON and JNB while being cash-strapped, with workers not paid in months? Oh, and for God's sake quit whining about staff loyalty! You $#@#@@ on them, what did you expect.

Good luck to all former AN pilots and workers
