According to reports, United Airlines is ending their flights to Nigeria for two major reasons asides the one they mentioned above.
1, the weakness in the energy sector in Nigeria and 2. they (and other airlines) have been having difficulties collecting money from airline tickets sold in Nigeria.
Nigeria in the last few months have restricted the amount of money that can be moved abroad after the global slump in oil prices depleted our dollar reserve. Nigeria owed airlines about $575 million in air fares as of March 31, according to the International Air Transport Association.
United is not the first airline to end it's route to Nigeria. British Airways had also allegedly threatened to stop flying to Nigeria if something is not done about their money being stuck here.
Delta Airlines will now be the only major U.S. carrier flying to Africa.
United Airlines closing shop here means a lot of Nigerians will lose their jobs. Quite sad!

Each time I open Lindah Ikeji it's always one bad news or the other..I wanna leave Canada and come back home but home is scary.
This is really funny...Buhari doesn't have an economic plan, no investor is ready to put a dime in the country. The existing ones are pulling off. What kind of country is this? No electricity even at this stage yet he removed fuel subsidy!
Una never start to suffer. You voted in an incompetent govt so enjoy it
More money for Delta Airlines! If one person own no spoil, another person own no go better. Linda take note!
We need a new president come 2019 but we will give Buhari the EFCC chairman atleast that's what he's good at..how can someone with just WARC certificate run a top notch economy like Nigeria that grew so big under Goodluck Jonathan
Nna na waooh
Omg!!! What kind trouble is this??!
While it is true that many people will lose their jobs, Arik Air will have a windfall. This is great news for Arik because one of their top competitors would be our of business.

Wow.this is not good news. Nigeria is heading to recession. Can't pay their bills and can't pay the Airlines another sign of breeding trouble in the economy. Bunch of tugs running the economy, people who don't understand simple economics. Economics 101.

This is serious. Hope something will be done quickly to avert this plan.
Linda, how selfish of you. You didn't feel affected before right?!
Let them go. I don't know how stupid we all continue to think. Most of the foreign companies do this. They make 75% of their income from Nigeria and Nigerians yet they move every penny out. Feasting fat from us but not willing to invest in us.
And in all, they bring their ugliest aircrafts here yet we are their largest market. Maybe with this, we will start to patronise and build our own products. You inclusive Linda. I haven't seen you advertise Nigerian dressmakers. Shame on you!
Buhari.... Is this part of the change? Weldone oo. 2019 go soon reach here
The truth is we can't sustain the fake life we ve bn living.B4 now 90% of Nigerians were living above their means. It's a reality check now .No more slush funds in circulation .SAI BABA
linda why are they taking the money out
think am now
That's buhari for you. Bonario oya come and talk nonsense. Even you aboki and Juliet iwuno... let the sweat and tears of people who will lose their jobs be on your hands. And all the idiotic people that supported a moron to rule Nigeria. .. idiats
OMG, Buhari have to step down if he truely love nigeria. He is an hindrance to progress in nigeria.
Very bad

NIGERIA PLAYED THIS EXACT ROLE TO THEN SWISSAIR CAUSING THEM TO BANKRUPT AS ONE OF THEIR EX DIRECTORS ONCE SAID,AND THE FUNNY ASPECT IS THAT THE WHOLE TICKET HAS BEEN PAID AND THE HAVE OTHER PLANS WITH PEOPLES MONEY.FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT.

Buhari Killing The Economy.

Growing unchecked terrorist threat in Nigeria. That's why.
When change don finally chain us like slaves in our own country. Every company is no longer happy doing business with us. What other clueless signs & symptoms do we need from Buhari? And the hailers group are still suffering and smiling. Well i can't but smile too... =)) *ROTFL* 😜😜😜. No be only me go suffer am..
They can go and sit down..when the heck did they even start flying to nigeria..ibeg pls they make too much money from us which they dont make with other countries. STORY! we shall see nah, who go loose.
Really sad!
Very sad.

APC clap for your self, change has indeed come #smh
U no get sense.... Imagine apc supporters thinking
Because running business in Nigeria is very expensive, so dey have to make dia money back
The money owed is not from today. The aviation industry was seriously regressed during the last government.
My dear don't be fooled. Foreign investors are flooding in. And if we had a good national carrier would we care about United? Is Buhari to blame for money owed to foreign airlines? Who is the aviation minister and why do Nigerians love to blame everyone but the responsible?
Are you that fucked, that you didn't see it was from march it started?!
Shut up and stop blaming the last govt. Maybe gej is also to blame for the disease ravaging tomatoe and hence the price of tomatoes
What has the aviation minister got to do do with an airline's money trapped in Nigeria? It's Buhari and all these his stupid policies on forex. They make their money here in naira but sending it out in their currencies to their country becomes difficult cos of those lame policies.
The Nigerian problem did not start today. And before you ask, I did not vote for Buhari and I do not think the exchange price should be fixed. Let me try to explain this in an objective way.
For an economy to succeed, you have to diversify your income and limit your imports. To diversify, you need income, money and large amounts of it. You need to promote and educate and provide basic infrastructure such as light, water, roads and telecom services for other sectors to grow. Problem is in Nigeria, everyone ignored the. Oil was pumping, money was flowing. So Nigeria spent, wasted and stole. No savings. Well now oil is not selling anymore, and there is little to no savings. What do you think will happen?
On importation, Nigeria imports too much. Things such as rice which can be grown in Nigeria is imported. Part of the problem is the lack of proper infrastructure to run the Mills, but that ties back to what I said earlier. Combine this and some other factors and you have the situation Nigeria is in today. You can not fix it now because you need money to do so, money you don't have for reasons mentioned above. But until you and the rest of Nigerians see the pattern and objectively assess how to run the economy, this will happen again and again and again. Next time it will not be Buhari, it will be somebody else.
P/S United dropping out is not necessarily a bad thing. It is rather an opportunity for a Nigerian airline to fill the space. How many Nigerian airlines fly outside the USA. For a country that has people that like to travel, Nigeria is underrepresented in airlines flying to the USA
Fool! If you have ever left the shores of Nig you for know make that stupid statement.
Oni iranu Omo Aja! I am sure you are just recovering from a brain surgery. When did linda turn to ovation magazine or Bella Nig ?
You don't understand the dynamics of airline business! The remaining airlines may jack up prices. Demand up, supply down. Kolaq
sometimes use your brain, activate common sense it is free! Even the airline said since March, meaning present government! If it were about the last government, they would have obviously mentioned it. Use your brain!!
You have a very low understanding of what is going on. Kolaq
Funny question! So if you work abroad, you leave all your money there abi? Please think again!
Stop being daft. We are one commodity economy and if that commodity price drops and the reserves were depleted, then that is what happens. We need to get out of just being an oil country.
Change has come
100 likes anon 1:08 am I thought so too
I hope people understand that this airline are taking money away from this country. If they leave, more money for arik if they can get more aircraft. Imagine them moving such money out of our economy. Nigerians, we need to wake up! How are foreign countries airlines taking over our airlines. Yes, we have other airlines running in another country but foreign airline must not outshine the local. They will drain us and finish our reserve! We are empowering them and giving them more money
Hehehe
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Lol...foreign investors are flooding in? Who and who pls.
Mumu. The delta airlines will increase their price..and the masses will suffer more. Stupid.
Everyone is blaming buhari because his policies caused this.
Lol..are you normal at all? Have the dressmakers told her to advertise their clothing and she refused? Mstchew. And what makes you think she hasn't been affected. Gosh..my brain capacity literally reduced by reading ur post.
Very correct
This na gobe oo....am not bothered about those flying...but for those to soon be jobless....Lord have mercy
Who put the ministers there? Buhari do you hate us this much.... why are you making us suffer. Our God is alive be careful before you become like pharaoh
Even Air peace you no fit afford. If you have ever been to US u would have used United because you will be going to Houston (second Nigeria) because that is where u can afford, poor boy. Or maybe you use Ethiopian airlines to US spend many days for road because it is cheap.
I think that is one of the so many Changes to come, an Old fool that suppose to be with his grand Children coming to change you Nonsense ( NIGERIANS are drinking APC
I guess you don't fly much, hence your kind of comment.
Too many ignorant people around on Social Media....they cant even process information, they are blaming Buhari. The 1st reason the Airline gave is low patronage from Oil companies as Houston, Texas is the Oil capital in USA and the oil industry there is experiencing a downturn just as Nigeria, so, Business class passengers who bear the cost of the entire plane has dropped.
2ndly, people must understand that businesses exploit oppurtunities....& have no time for sentiments....the oppurtunities are no longer here so they leave!!! Remember, they came with nothing but their suitcases.....every thing they use here is outsourced so they have not sacked staff as the staff dont belong to them. Social media illiterates should educate themselves more than they feed on gossip and write trash just to win LIB giveaway
What are you saying? List the names of the investors who are flooding into Nigeria. You are an ignorant buhari fellower, please stop writing shit
You are so foolish because you are jobless you want others to lose their jobs also clueless goat
The minister for Aviation is from same town with the president so what would u expect from there? God have mercy!!!!
Let me reply u 2day boy! If u hv travelled b4 2d states,then I bet u wil kw ow valuable united airline is. Bt too bad,u mayb in one village since u were born. Guy,try go @least Ghana mk ur eyes clear. Also read up,so u cn mk a reasonable conversation wen u sit down wit ppl & dnt js hide here 2 sound terrible.

this is sad...our aviation ministers have failed horribly. those of u condemning Buhari..do u think the money owed is from only his government..this is an accumulation from years back..pre buhari. Lets think before we start jumping down the truth of buhari.
truly sad we have leaders who are too greedy to see beyond their nose..no proper planning in any sector.
Nigeria now is reaping the fruits sown by our leaders in the past and present.
They stole and stole without thinking about the future of this nation.
our economy is bad because no one sat down to develop a structure or pay attention to happenings around the world.
Very sad indeed..My heart cries out for this land..Pray that God will forgive us and have Mercy on Nigeria and her citizens..This is the time to pray and not to pronounce doom upon Nigeria.
You are a disgrace for not defending your country and the doctor is ignorant.
People always call you a fool. Now I am convinced you are a complete fool. It is one of the most popular airlines in America and flown by thousands of Nigerians in the U.S including Linda and myself. Mumu- Newyorker (Linda let's get married)
Exactly! Massive unemployment, total hardship and absolute political witchunt are the three main BUHARI-EFFECT... Change indeed
Na me talk am!
Long Live Lib!!!
Who ask you, Amebo
Amen
If buhari truely care for nigeria as a country he should step down.
Hehehee, by the time all dis companies go run comot, na farm we go begin dey work from...Buhari's children on dis blog are just supporting Buhari hoping for their father-Buhari to give them appointment...Maybe, social nedia appointment...una go old..Make I hear say una no dey comment under anonymous on how e dey pain una...##clowns##
Buharia onodu leh! We asked for "chain"here it's! #SaiChain
Now I know ur a fool. SMh how old are u this boy stren . Buhari has killed this country. In a way I think this is the final coming of biafra. Buhari should step down or he may end up regretting,he can't islamize Nigeria
@anon8:46 ur a fool. And a fool for life nobody likes the fact that they are Nigerians. I know ur from the north idiot dullards nobady which to be a part of the zoo deep down.
Igbo airline, God forbid!
I can't even imagine how poor you must be cause trust me, if you were rich and wearing expensive authentic designer clothing, the doctor dare not say that. Though Buhari is still a coconut head.
American embassy pls have mercy on us by granting us our wish now,present us this visa now pls

You're a grown woman, yet you talk like an ignorant child. Do you know how many Nigerians will be made jobless when United goes. The Nigerians that travel will suffer massive increase in air fare, it's the innocent Nigerians that seem to suffer.

How many people from the states come to your country for vacation? Before you blame the leaders, ask yourself: what have I done personally to help? Helping is not insulting another Nigerian even if he or she is not quite understanding the problem. Helping is not trying to. Make yourself fell superior to others.
