How Aero Contractors offers very low airfares. The catches!
Aero Contractors in my view is a budget airline only that it is not so-called. The airline has been advertising very low fares to all its destinations, for some time now. I dragged myself into flying Aero twice in recent times, to satisfy my curiosity on how they could offer such low fares. This blog [...]
Continue reading...A review of MTN Nigeria Mobile Broadband service
Sunday, February 21, 2010
I picked-up an MTN Nigeria mobile broadband kit recently and have used it heavily, since then. Find below my review of the service. The entire kit cost N18,650: HSDPA USB stick: N8,500 MTN SIM: N150 Airtime: N10,000 (24/7 monthly plan) The MTN agent asked for an ID and passport photo. As I had no prior knowledge they would demand this, [...]

Thursday, December 10, 2009
With a population of about 154,729,000 (UN estimate), Nigeria ranks as the 8th most populous country in the world. Add the fact that a sizeable percentage of this population is made-up of the youth, plus Africa’s 2nd largest economy (GDP nominal) and what you have is a very vibrant job market. It is thus not [...]

Friday, November 6, 2009
Nigeria’s aviation industry is amongst the largest in Africa. It helps to have a large population, a huge economy and some of Africa’s richest people. Despite that, the industry is not where it should be. Poor safety records, occasional fuel supply problems and the current financial crisis for most of the Nigerian airlines don’t help [...]

Saturday, October 3, 2009
Each time I had a tough time travelling within Nigeria, I always wished there was an electronic Nigerian travel information service that met the needs of the business traveller. A service that offered flight, hotel, car rental information via SMS, mobile web or a full-fledged website. Though there are several websites that offer air travel [...]
Continue reading...Lagos State, a beacon of hope for Nigeria
Thursday, October 1, 2009
The second part of my blog posts today in commemoration of Nigeria’s 49th Independence Anniversary celebration, highlights Lagos State. Lagos State is the smallest of Nigeria’s 36 states, yet the richest and most densely populated. So rich is Lagos, that it contributes over 30% of Nigeria’s annual GDP and owns about 70% of country taking [...]

Thursday, June 25, 2009
Clearly, all is not well with Virgin Nigeria. Being a VN frequent flyer and a fan of Richard Brandson, I have always monitored the progress of Nigeria’s national flag carrier. There are various accounts as to the true state of affairs but it is obvious that the centre is not holding. “Virgin Nigeria Airways Limited is [...]

Sunday, October 26, 2008
I discovered a Google Maps beta feature that had been on my PDA for several months now, just last night. I had only been using my I-Mate JAQ3 as a digital assistant, without using the phone functionality – no thanks to Tigo’s network access expiry. Tigo Ghana has a way of disabling one’s access to [...]

Friday, May 16, 2008
I had to be sure I read right: “Lagos pipeline blast ‘kills 100′“. I checked the date of publication on BBC News Africa’s homepage, it was today’s date. “Another pipeline blast in Lagos again? How greedy can people be in a bid to make money?” I thought to myself. It turns out it was people [...]
