        Is possible if it will bear the name air oduduwa, air arewa or air Biafra, Nigeria airways not possible. We believe in regional government.

        If dividing Nigeria will bring peace and progress so be it. We remain the fastest under developing country today. Electricity, water, zero.

        Govts' are generally poor managers. Corruption & regional politicking included. Instead "rent" a National name to a private operator.

        If ET can succeed, then any other can too, either by learning from ET, on developing another formula, ET is not using 'some magic' right??

        A national carrier will evolved very soon, & it would bear our national flag as always. We strongly believed in unity of our dear nation

        A national carrier is the pride of a nation or country. Having a national airline isn't a bad idea.

        It is possible, we once owned an airline. But corruption won't let good things stay
