Devilish conspiracy’ – Air Peace boss, Onyema slams foreign airlines over price slash.

The Chairman of Nigerian indigenous carrier, Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, has raised the alarm that foreign carriers operating the Nigeria-UK route are allegedly conspiring to send Air Peace out of international operations by crashing airfares on the route.
Onyema gave the revelation on Tuesday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.

He alleged that there is an “unspoken alliance” among foreign airlines to use lower pricing to eject Air Peace from the Nigeria-London route.
Should Air Peace be prematurely withdrawn, the consequences would be severe and far-reaching for the country, resulting in substantial financial losses potentially magnified tenfold. Such an action would not only detrimentally impact the economy in the form of billions lost, but also exert immense pressure on the already strained naira.

To provide context, it's worth noting that Air Peace recently balanced the imbalanced Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and the United Kingdom by commencing direct flights from Lagos to Gatwick Airport in London on March 30, 2024. This move signifies the airline's commitment to enhancing air connectivity between the two nations.

In a show of support for this milestone, Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, and the Minister of Trade and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anita, both traveled on the inaugural flight from Lagos to London. Accompanied by various entrepreneurs, their participation underscores the significance of this development for fostering closer ties and facilitating business opportunities.

The continuation of Air Peace's operations serves as a vital component of Nigeria's air transport infrastructure, contributing to economic growth, tourism, and overall national development. Any disruption to its services would not only have immediate repercussions but could also impede progress towards achieving broader aviation and economic objectives.

‘Devilish conspiracy’ – Air Peace boss, Onyema slams foreign airlines over price slash

The Chairman of Nigerian indigenous carrier, Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, has raised the alarm that foreign carriers operating the Nigeria-UK route are allegedly conspiring to send Air Peace out of international operations by crashing airfares on the route.

Onyema gave the revelation on Tuesday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.

He alleged that there is an “unspoken alliance” among foreign airlines to use lower pricing to eject Air Peace from the Nigeria-London route.

“If they take out Air Peace prematurely, this country will pay dearly for it, 10 times over, billions will be lost, there will be another heavy strain on the naira,” he said.

DAILY POST recalls that Air Peace reciprocated the lopsided Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and the United Kingdom when the local airline began direct flight operations from Lagos to Gatwick Airport in London on March 30, 2024.

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo and his counterpart at the Trade and Investment Ministry, Doris Uzoka-Anita were onboard the inaugural Lagos-London flight, alongside businessmen and women.

Many industry observers have applauded the development, saying the development will encourage local airlines to commence international flights to profitable routes.

DAILY POST also reported how the price of international flight ticket on the Lagos-London route, which was as high as N3.5m for economy ticket went for N1.2m as Air Peace commenced the London route, with foreign airlines such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Qatar Airways forced to slash their prices to stay competitive.

However, speaking on Tuesday, the Air Peace boss said foreign airlines operating the route “are fighting back”, adding that his airlines are being “deliberately frustrated in all ways”.
He cited ground handling and space allocation difficulties at Gatwick Airport in the last couple of days.

“It’s a very devilish conspiracy,” said a dissatisfied Onyema.

“All of a sudden, (foreign) airlines are underpricing, below the cost, it’s not up to one month, an airline was advertising $100, another one $305, $350.

Filling the aircraft to maximum capacity and even considering carrying passengers on the wings is insufficient to cover the fuel costs. It raises the question: why are such practices being entertained? The governments involved are providing unwavering support due to the lucrative opportunities presented, with Nigeria being viewed as a significant source of revenue.

The aim of this support is to undermine Air Peace. If successful, the repercussions for Nigerians would be substantial, as they would likely end up paying significantly higher prices—potentially up to 20 times more than the current rates.
Onyema, therefore, invited other Nigerian airlines to join the Nigeria-UK route to break the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by foreign carriers operating into the four major gateway airports of Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.

“I invite other Nigerian airlines to join the fray, let them come, let all of us do international operations. Yes, international aeropolitics is very dirty but somebody must pay the price,” he said.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has confirmed the outbreak of a disease of unknown origin in Sokoto state.

The director general of the agency, Dr Jide Idris, said so far, a total of 164 suspected cases have been identified in six (6) wards of Isa local government area in the following wards: Bargaja (22), Isa North (17), Isa South (98), Tozai (12), Tsabre (4), and Turba (11), adding that four deaths have been recorded amongst the suspected cases.
The situation described in Sokoto State, Nigeria, highlights a concerning public health issue that warrants urgent attention. The reported cases of children and adults presenting with symptoms like abdominal distension, fever, vomiting, and weight loss are indicative of a potentially serious health threat in the region. The fact that similar incidents occurred in the past, with no clear diagnosis, adds to the complexity and urgency of the current situation.

The proactive response by the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) in deploying a National Rapid Response Team to collaborate with the State Ministry of Health is a crucial step in investigating and addressing this health crisis. The on-the-ground investigation and close monitoring of suspected cases are essential in determining the cause of these symptoms and preventing further spread within the community.

The two suspected cases currently under care at Uthman Dan Fodio University Teaching Hospital highlight the immediate need for medical attention for those affected. The discharge of one case due to improved symptoms is a positive sign, but it underscores the unpredictable nature of this outbreak and the importance of continuous monitoring and care for all affected individuals.

It is imperative that health authorities at both the national and state levels coordinate their efforts effectively to identify the root cause of these symptoms, establish a definitive diagnosis, and implement appropriate measures to contain and mitigate the impact of this health crisis on the population of Isa LGA and beyond. The collaboration between healthcare professionals, government agencies, and local communities will be crucial in managing this situation and safeguarding the health and well-being of the affected individuals.

The situation described involves a cluster of cases with symptoms that initially appeared to not have an infectious origin, prompting investigations into other potential causes, including heavy metal exposure. The initial tests conducted on the index case and a few suspected cases showed varying levels of lead (Pb) and Chromium (Cr) in their blood. Subsequent tests revealed high levels of lead in the affected individuals. Further testing is ongoing to ascertain the actual disease responsible for these cases.

The director general of the NCDC emphasized the importance of vigilance among the affected and nearby communities, urging individuals to report anyone showing the stated symptoms to the nearest healthcare facilities or contact the NCDC toll-free line. It is crucial for the authorities to continue their investigations to identify the source of heavy metal exposure and take appropriate actions to prevent further cases and protect public health in the affected area.

Title: A Heartfelt Confession: My Lovely Mother and My Cheating Wife.

Hey there, I never thought I'd be sharing this with you all, but here I am, feeling the weight of these words on my chest.

Growing up, my mother was my rock, my guiding light in a world full of uncertainties. She showered me with love, wisdom, and unwavering support, shaping me into the person I am today.

And then there's my wife, the love of my life, or so I thought. We shared dreams, laughter, and built a life together filled with promises of forever.

But as fate would have it, my world came crashing down when I discovered the painful truth - my wife was cheating on me. The betrayal cut deep, leaving me questioning everything I once held dear.

In the midst of this turmoil, my mother stood by my side, offering solace and a listening ear. Her unconditional love and strength became my anchor in the storm, reminding me that I am worthy of love and respect.

As I navigate this turbulent chapter of my life, I find myself torn between the heartbreak of a broken marriage and the comforting presence of a mother's unwavering love.

So here I am, facing the harsh realities of life, thankful for the love that lifts me up and sustains me through the darkest of days.

Thank you for listening to my story, for being a part of this moment of vulnerability and healing. Remember, no matter the challenges we face, the power of love, especially a mother's love, can help us find our way back to the light.

When I hear some women use phrases like "Can you afford me?" it often seems that they misunderstand what truly makes a woman valuable.

A woman does have a certain worth - but it's not based on money. It's about her overall value.

When a woman presents herself as someone a man must be wealthy to be with, she's essentially devaluing herself and reducing her worth to a transaction. She's essentially positioning herself as something a man can purchase and own. This implies that she's with him because he can financially afford her.

By positioning herself as for sale, she’s conveying that she has little self-respect or agency in the relationship, as the man paying dictates the terms. Women, in general, are not rare - there are plenty of them. However, truly valuable women, those with substantial qualities and characteristics, are indeed scarce and will remain so indefinitely.

Before a woman declares herself as "expensive" and questions whether a suitor can afford her, she should consider the value she brings to the relationship as well. It's about much more than just physical attributes and s*x.

For instance:
- Does she have spiritual value? Is she a spiritual and supportive partner?
- Does she have financial value? Can she contribute to the household financially?
- Does she have intellectual value? Is she intelligent and informed?
- Does she have emotional value? Can she create a nurturing and stable home environment?

These are the real measures of her worth.

Ultimately, a woman's true value and expense aren't determined by physical attributes but rather by her internal qualities and what she brings to the table.

It's crucial to understand that true value extends beyond physical appearances.
