Chicken wings of Nigeria, popularly known as Arik Air, grounded their passengers again for over 48 hours. The Chief of staff to the President was passing through the airport, saw the plight of the stranded passengers and decided to do something about it…

Because in Nigeria, the powerful only listen to the more powerful. One has to wonder where the MD of Arik has been all these months of delayed and cancelled flights.

Finally Arik Air's excesses gets the attention of someone who can and is willing to drag them till they shape up. Peep next tweet!

I am aware that the Attorney General and Aviation Minister are also looking at how the victims of Arik's ineptitude will be compensated.
