I got information that my leader, Mentor and the servant Leader, Asiwaju
\nBola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Nigeria yesterday after weeks of vacation
\nand business trip abroad. I was to be at Abuja international
\nAirport\u00a0around 8- 8:30pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to welcome and honour the servant leader.
\nAround\u00a09 am<\/span><\/span>\u00a0I sent one of my kids to go to Lagos Airport to get me a
\nflight ticket. He got the ticket and I was billed to check in by\u00a02 pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as I
\nwas told it is\u00a0a 3 pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0flight. I got to the Airport by exactly\u00a02pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and I
\nwas there till about\u00a010pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0when someone who recognized me helped to get a
\nboarding pass.<\/p>\n

During my 8 hour ordeal I saw first hand the shame that is called Arik
\nAir. After collecting money they abandon their passengers without shame.
\nThe management speaks to nobody. They cancel flights with reckless
\nabandon. They have no system, no organization, no template and no
\nsympathy. This is the story of a company who does not know how to manage
\nsuccess.<\/p>\n

Arik Air controls almost 70% domestic airline business in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Arik Air has the highest number of aircrafts in Nigeria<\/p>\n

Arik Air knows how to collect money from passengers but do not know how to
\ndeliver efficient services<\/p>\n

Arik Air has no skills to manage its success<\/p>\n

Arik Air shows no remorse for its human rights abuses and abuse of office.<\/p>\n

Arik Air thrives on impunity and gross inefficiency. I can go on and on.<\/p>\n

Now what do we do with Arik Air?<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Transport and Aviation should investigate Arik Air . I
\nunderstand that many petitions have been written about Arik Air and their
\nmiserable performances but the federal government has refused to pay
\nattention. Arik Air \u00a0cannot pay the debt it is owing Aviation Fuel
\nsuppliers. Arik Air Welfare to workers is nothing to write home about.
\nArik Air workers are being owed months of salaries. Many of the workers
\nhave resigned and walked away. Arik Air celebrate impunity as if they
\nenjoy immunity from the federal government. Given what I saw of Arik Air
\nmanagement \u00a0yesterday i think that time has come for the government to
\ncarry the big stick. The shame that is Arik Air must not be tolerated any
\nlonger. Something must give way.<\/p>\n

I want everyone that has suffered Arik Air impunity, inefficiency, gross
\nincompetence to speak up now. We must collectively stop this nonsense.
\nPlease share your experiences with Arik Air and let the world know. Arik
\nAir must perform or it gets out and the time is now.<\/p>\n
