Blah Gigi obi nm,
sometimes
there is no point in hiding one’s head
in the sand
like an ostrich
and
hoping that
impending trauma will just vanish away
or that
not countenancing
the unfolding traumatic event
directly
as it unfolds
will reduce it’s impact.
relating the above commentary to
the topic of
this our immediate post,
which is, namely :
Blah Gigi omalicha nm,
regarding those rumours that Nigeria is
considering
coming up with a National Airlines again,
what is the guarantee that
whatever happened to the defunct Nigeria Airways will not
happen to it
thus causing it to fold up as
the Nigeria Airways did ?
what i mean,
Blah Gigi nma nm
Blah Gigi nmam,
is that
concerning the defunct Nigeria Airways,
the realities are
that :
(1) Nigeria once had a National Airlines
(2) this Airlines was called the Nigeria Airways
(3) the Nigeria Airways operated international flights
i.e
the Nigeria Airways flew passengers
from Nigeria
to other countries
e.g England in the United Kingdom, etc
and
from other countries
e.g England in the United Kingdom
to Nigeria
(4) the Nigeria Airways operated intra-national flights within Nigeria
i.e
operated flights
from different airports in Nigeria
to other different airports in Nigeria
e.g
from Enugu airport to Lagos airport
(5) the Nigeria Airways
had
highly rated Airplane Pilots ( Aeroplane pilots )
and
highly qualified staff administratively
(6) the Nigeria Airways had
a respectable number of Airplanes i.e Aeroplanes
in it’s fleet
including
back in the day then
the Boeing 737 and the Fokker F-27 and F-28 series.
and yet
the Nigeria Airways was shut down.
you know,
Blah Gigi ormahleechar nm,
Blah Gigi omalicha nm,
i don’t think we should concern ourselves with this here
however
i seem to remember
a rumour
back in the day
about
a foreign Outfit bring invited to Nigeria
with a view by the inviters to
being asked to
manage the Nigeria Airways and turn it’s fortunes around
and
a top administrator in the Nigeria team
going on and on
during the meeting
about how an airlines is best run
and
by this his action
irking
irritating
annoying
the visiting
potential
turn-Nigeria-Airways-around-for-the-better
management team
to the extent that
they told the fellow
something along the lines of :
” if you know so much
about
how to run an airlines
and
make it profitable
then
you should manage the Nigeria Airways yourself
and
there is no need for you to have invited us here “.
according to the rumours,
the meeting ended shortly after this comment
and
the invited team went back to
whatever country they came from in Europe.
Blah Gigi nm,
according to the rumours,
the Nigeria Airways was shut down shortly after that incident
i.e
it’s operations folded up shortly thereafter.
you know,
Blah Gigi ormahleechar nm,
whatever
the issues
of
the Nigeria Airways
were
the high number of Airlines that
since the winding up of the Nigeria Airways
have
emerged in Nigeria
as financially successful privately owned ventures
( and not as a state owned venture
like the Nigeria Airways was
… being owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria )
and
are till date May 2025 operating profitably in Nigeria
suggests that
profitability
economic viability
should not have been among those issues.
anyway,
to go back to
the trend of thought
we were following
as we were saying,
despite the realities
identified in observations
Numbers 1 to 6
above
the Nigeria Airways was shut down.
and now,
after over 32? years
Nigeria
is
according to rumours
considering coming up
again
with a National Airlines
and
the questions
that
therefore naturally arise
include
among others, :
(A.1) what is the guarantee
that
whatever issues
that
led to the shutting down of the Nigeria Airways
will not manifest again ?
(A.2) what is the game-plan
to ensure
that
if they show up
they will be adequately sorted out this time around
and
thus not be allowed to cause
.. again ..
the winding up of the Nigeria National Airlines ?
