FIX UP!
Starting an airline business is a personal choice. You saw opportunities and decided to explore same. Everyone knows that, realistically, you cannot make profit on every single flight. This is why a lot of private airlines in deregulated industries use peak periods to even out for the dry periods. Sometimes you gain a lot; sometimes you break even (especially if you attain 60-70% load factor consistently); sometimes, you lose.
Before securing an operator licence, leasing aircraft, and starting the business, you are aware of the regulations, international conventions, and state laws applicable. You knew the peculiar operating environment, and chose to start the business.
An airline is a major partner in any nation's economic development. This is why governments support them with bailout, guarantees for leases, route approvals, etc.
In Nigeria today, the reason most domestic airlines still exist is because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his wisdom, via the eagle-eyed and patriotic Minister of Aviation, Olorogun Festus Keyamo SAN, caught the irregularities in what may have become a death sentence on domestic operators IF the Nigeria Air project had been allowed to commence in its very imperfect, draconian, and manipulative form.
To ensure that Nigerian jobs are safe, and for Nigerian brands to keep succeeding and contributing to national growth, the Minister's 5-point agenda was heavy on support for domestic airlines.
When they complained about lack of access to lessors, Festus Keyamo ensured that Nigeria signed the CTC practice direction and IDERA. He quickly resolved the insurance component challenge and won the trust of the international community; a big win for civil aviation in Nigeria.
Next, he set up the Nigeria Aircraft Leasing Company, which was approved by the president, and kick started that journey by hosting the Aircraft Acquisition Summit in Lagos. That summit remains the biggest, most impactful Aviation event in the history of Nigeria.
When some local airlines struggled to secure international routes, Festus Keyamo and the DGCA, Capt. Chris Najomo, spared nothing to ensure that those routes were secured. They travelled to the ends of the earth to assist private businesses to grow and compete globally.
To make it even better, Capt. Chris Najomo has made certifications, licences, and approvals much faster and easier. So that airlines can do business easily. Today, Dana may not be operational, but new airlines like Binani, Enugu Air, among others have secured AOC and are fully operational.
In fact, the reason Dana is not operational is because this administration does not compromise on safety. The moment an airline fails a safety audit, be it financial or technical, they will be made to go and sort out those issues rather than risk the lives of innocent, paying passengers.
No administration has supported domestic airlines like this one. Every airline taking delivery of a new aircraft - purchased or leased - is always accompanied by both the minister of aviation and the DGCA or, at least, the DGCA. They are present on every new route being flown from London Gatwick, Heathrow, Barbados, etc.
On the consumer protection side, never before have airlines been professionally protected as they are now. Some of them may despise the equal protection given to passengers, but what exists now is, for the first time in our chequered history, proper aviation consumer protection regulations enforcement. This has helped to protect airlines from emotion-driven outcries when they are not culpable. It has also guided them to improve the quality of service offered to passengers.
Every airline should naturally crave such a world class operating environment.
I must acknowledge today that international airlines operating into Nigeria have been cooperative and mostly compliant with Part 19 of the NCAA regulations. Where they default and compliance is demanded of them, they quickly adjust. 1/2
Nigeria is now approaching the $54.21bn reserve level recorded in December 2008, during the previous oil boom.
What could this mean for ordinary Nigerians?
1. More stability for the naira
A larger reserve gives the CBN more ammunition to manage periods of dollar scarcity. It doesn’t guarantee that the naira will keep appreciating, but it makes a sudden FX crisis less likely if the underlying inflows remain strong.
2. Importers get some breathing room
Businesses that need dollars to import machinery, raw materials, medicines, technology, etc. benefit when FX liquidity improves. That can eventually feed into prices.
3. Foreign investors may become more confident
Imagine two countries:
Country A has $10bn in reserves and constantly struggles to find dollars.
Country B has $54bn and is accumulating reserves.
All else equal, Country B looks considerably more capable of meeting external obligations and absorbing shocks.
That can improve investor confidence and potentially reduce Nigeria’s perceived risk.
4. Nigeria’s ability to withstand shocks improves
This is perhaps the biggest benefit.
If oil prices suddenly fall, foreign investors pull money out, or global financial conditions tighten, Nigeria has a bigger buffer to absorb the shock.
PS: Purchasing power is still low and there is still high unemployment. A country can have a much stronger external position while households are still struggling.
The distinction is between macroeconomic stability and household prosperity. A stronger balance sheet for Nigeria does not automatically mean a stronger balance sheet for Nigerians.
Nigeria just recorded its highest-ever monthly remittance inflow.
$947 million came into the country through formal channels in July, pushing total 2026 inflows to $3.8 billion, a 50.2% jump from last year.

“Nigerian start ups can’t compete on the global stage”
Now a startup is hiring people who have better experience on board to help them navigate you are forming conspiracy theory.
But if US companies hires a Nigerian you would celebrate and be bragging.
Same you pushing conspiracy theory is in diaspora or looking for US visa.
The challenges Nigerians face are not unique to Nigeria; many of them are broader issues affecting much of sub-Saharan Africa. And this conversation isn’t even about wealthy Nigerians the people he mentioned include Nigerian Nobel laureates, renowned writers, and academics. I think a lot of people form strong opinions about Nigeria without actually taking the time to read about or understand the country properly.

@mirah_japhta I hope you can see how ignorant and quick to judge this was. You jumped to conclusions from a short clip and used it to stereotype Nigerians, when in reality the Nigerian man was defending a woman who had been harassed.
Now that the full context shows you were wrong, will you correct the narrative with the same energy you used to spread it? Posts like this get attention precisely because they reinforce stereotypes about a country of over 240 million people.
Very disappointing, especially coming from a fellow African.
