Spanish airline in Nigeria?

It is a rumor in Spain that a new airline is going to begin to operate in Nigeria with B-757, to flight form Spain to Nigeria.
Could anybody confirm this?

Read in Iberia's inflight mag, Ronda, that they plan to opearte to Lagos. Didn't say what type, but they do opearte B757s.

Yes, Iberia is planning to operate to Lagos, but maybe a new airline called Bravo is going to go there too. This airline still doesn´t flight, and my question goes in this direction, if someone in the area of Nigeria has heard something about it.

Might be Afrijet. This small Nigerian carrier was mysteriously awarded the Lagos-Madrid BASA designation only 1 week ago. They now operate with Fokker 27. I really doubt they have the connections to operate the route successfuly.
Otherwise it's a Spanish airline (dont know which). Let's wait and see.

It could be possible. In Spain people is saying that Bravo Airlines (the new airline) is going to begin to fly with one B757-200, with retired captains from Iberia, soth american F/O´s laid off from LTE, and some well-connected pilot with 170 TT and a father in Iberia.
This info appears in a forum, because nobody knows anything. They are taking the matter in a very silent way.
