I am not one of Bobrisky fans but I dare say that he is a victim of selective justice. Why must EFCC allow Betta Edu go for paying N585m vulnerable grant into private account and pin down Bobrisky for Naira mutilation which almost all Nigerians are guilty of?
EFCC must be forthright and must apply the principles of the rule of law at all times to have it's integrity intact.
Economy class from N6million to N1.2million and want to give students a further 15% discount
The above-mentioned is what people should be talking about and not the attire of the cabin crew. The service rendered, forex saved by selling tickets in naira do not matter it’s the theme
t’s a pity people are so bigoted. This is same airline that has been lifting Nigerians from trouble zones for free and simply because the owner decides to project his culture you become inconsolable.

Dear @Jack_ng01
As an Igbo man, I see your attempt at stirring up feeling of marginalisation among the Igbos as unfortunate, self-serving and myopic to say the least.
If you're in Nigeria in the past 10 years, you would have seen that the Railway modernisation programme of the federal government was divided into phases and segments and in the spirit of one Nigeria meant to eventually connect every segment of the country by rail (both standard gauge and existing narrow gauge rail lines)
The priority line of course is the Lagos-Kano railway that connects Nigeria's commercial capital to the commercial capital of the North (Kano). The problem of funding led the government to seek out Chinese loans and divided the project into phases with the Abuja-Kaduna railway being the first to be completed followed by the Lagos-Ibadan railway.
The concluding phase is Ibadan to Abuja (in segments of Ibadan-Ilorin, Ilorin-Minna and from Minna to the existing Abuja-Kaduna line) and Kaduna-Zaria-Kano segments which will complete the Lagos-Kano line.
The train stations you're convulsing over are brand new stations that are part of the contract. Mind you, when the entire Lagos-Kano line is complete, one of the biggest beneficiaries of this line will still be Igbos. There is no state in the North that you won't find Igbo traders, most of whom come to Lagos to buy goods on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, in the railway modernisation plan, the Eastern corridor is to be taken care of by the Coastal Railway from Lagos to Calabar (spanning Lagos to Shagamu, Shagamu to Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu-Ode to Ore, Ore to Benin, Benin to Sapele, Sapele to Warri, Warri to Yenagoa, Yenagoa to Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt to Aba, Aba to Uyo, Uyo to Calabar, Calabar to Akamkpa to Ikom, to Obudu Ranch; with a branch line from Benin City to Asaba up till Onitsha Bridge and then Port Harcourt to Onne Deep Seaport. This is the most expensive corridor of the entire railway projects and will gulp close to $20 billion.
Mobilizing this amount of funding is not a child's play (a Southern Rep member by the way kicked against obtaining Chinese loans for this project in the last admin). So, the FG decided to first rehabilitate the existing Port Harcourt to Maiduguri narrow gauge railway which was expected to cost around $3 billion. This project itself was stalled by insecurity and funding issues but now on track with the company completing laying of rail tracks between Port Harcourt and Aba. Aba to Umuahia and then to Enugu is the next to be completed while tracks are also expected to be laid from the Maiduguri end to Makurdi and eventually connecting to Enugu.
Building brand new iconic terminals like the ones on the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge line is not the priority currently and certainly not part of the contract with CCECC, although the NRC will rehabilitate its existing terminals in PH, Aba, Umuahia, Enugu, Makurdi, Bauchi, Maiduguri and others in-between. The Lagos-Kano narrow gauge line is still running but I'm not sure there are brand new terminals along the line.
A standard gauge line is planned between Port Harcourt to Maiduguri with spurs from Enugu to Awka-Onitsha; PH-Owerri-Onitsha; and another spur to Abakaliki. These will come with iconic stations. We cannot afford to jump into all these projects at once because we don't have the financing. So, let's be patient. Whatever railway project that is completed, every Nigerian including Igbos will benefit. Stop the unnecessary marginalisation talks. The second Niger bridge is a gigantic project in SE, Enugu-Amansea, Awka-Onitsha, Enugu-Ph expressway constructions are nearing completion. No section of Nigeria is left behind.
My dear Jack, be patriotic and not divisive!
@renoomokri Please you forgot to say that Peter Obi and Obidients instigated then also your favorite refrain Peter Obi will never be President as long as you live. Then tell us how you investigated and found that the soldiers are actually Igbos.
You and your attention seeking posts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@renoomokri This is one of the reasons Nigeria will remain backward & underdeveloped. The law should follow its course and due process allowed not prostrating for anyone. Besides why must you bring in ethnicity each time you talk. Abiola, Kanu, Mohamed Abacha are Nigerians first b/4 anything
