Nigeria Airways and its hostesses in 1973. Nigeria leaders at the time were among the good, if not the best in the world.
They turned Nigeria airways to a super intercontinental carrier with 1500 destination across the globe, generating 150 billion Naira yearly and providing jobs to 10,000 Nigerians.
Kenya and Ethiopia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates even indicated interest in learning the magic industrious Nigerians, now the towering pride of the black world.
The story here was the Nigerian situation about 50 years ago. Nigeria is a sorry state and stage at the moment.
The irony of history is that Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates which were to learn air business from Nigeria at that time have their airlines today working successfully today and Nigeria the teacher has no national carrier anymore. Irony indeed.
