What will make Air Peace to London different —Allen Onyeama
Allen Onyeama, the chairman of Air Peace, in this interview opens up on the frustrations his airline faced before their London route was approved and vows that their daily flights to London, billed to flag off later this month, will be special. With economy class going for N1,200,000 Onyeama believes it will be the cheapest and the best for passengers. Approving discount for Nigerian students to be able to return home every holiday delights him. He is excited that travel agencies are promoting his air line with a slogan, ‘Air Peace, Our Own’, but he, at the same time, frowns at how foreign airlines are aided in Nigeria to fleece the country and hopes the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu does something about it.

Lessons from last Monday, by Francis Ewherido
Last Monday was sharply different for me. The screen of my phone went blank over the weekend. Consequently, I was also blank for much of the weekend. It is not as if I am addicted to phones. I use it basically for calls, emails, messages and getting knowledge and information online. I only use one handset because, […]
The future problems of Adams Oshiomhole, by Emmanuel Aziken
The gist in Benin is that the emergence of Senator Monday Okpebholo as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State has become a mortal blow for the political relevance of the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Adams Oshiomhole.
