So proud to be watching such a positive review of a State owned Nigerian airline of which I am from that state (Akwa-Ibom). Ibom air is second to none in the domestic commercial airline business in Nigeria. Thank you for showing that to the world.

[@Travelwithmiracle1]

Thanks so much for promoting Nigerian aviation to the world, some aspect of Nigeria 🇳🇬 is so underrated and buried under all the political nonsense happening in Nigeria 🇳🇬. Nigeria has bad leaders and things are hard but we can not deny that Nigerians are one of the most hard working people on earth. Nigerians control Nigerian aviation without foreign interference, a lot of local airlines in Nigeria 🇳🇬 are owned by Nigerians. Few foreign airline running local roots some have left Nigeria 🇳🇬 cause they could not stand competition from Nigerians. I flew from Abuja to Lagos last with one of our youngest airline company and it was great experience. We are not even going to talk about Nigerians pilots, they are representing the content not just Nigeria. Every airline owned by Nigerian their pilots and flight attendants are Nigerians. People only hold on to bad side of Nigeria 🇳🇬 forgetting many other beautiful things about Nigerians. Once again, thank you

[@Nethanda]

This. I was apprehensive when I saw the title. Because foreigners only focus on the negative. And it makes you wonder why they bother to visit the continent at all.

To my opinion Ibom air are the best airline in Nigeria, since I discovered them a few yeas ago I only fly within Nigeria with them, staff are friendly, follow safety procedures, maintenance standards and AND AND they are punctual.....

[@pearlshoregemsstudio7493]

I am proud of the consistency in top notch service and flight experience from Ibom Air. They are our no.1 local airline and this video proves it. The Nigerian business environment is still not friendly at all. Government regulators, civil servants and the political government itself are the major hindrance to businesses as seen in the airport experience. However, we hope the reforms being undertaken by the current aviation minister will yield results soon. Again, well done ibom air. Quality staff! Quality airline! You are a shining light of how Nigerian businesses should look like and God bless you!.

[@elijahugoh1150]

Ibom Air is the only local airline I’ve flown in Nigeria. And the service and professionalism are top-notch.

[@danielemmanuel3990]

Thank you so much Sam for coming to Nigeria and having an experience about our aviation. We used to be the best in Africa, until politics took over everything.

[@kennethmfon6828]

Nice to see you in Nigeria, been following your channel for years now. You were spot on about politics being one of the bottlenecks of aviation development in Nigeria. For example, the current government's policy on removal (or not) of fuel subsidy is driving transportation cost, and in effect other items costs through the roof, including air ticket prices. Hoping you enjoy your stay in Nigeria.

[@GilbertDenila]

Thanks for the video on Ibom Air. Nigeria has one of the most underutilised aviation sectors in the world considering its size, population and resources. Hopefully, videos like this will shed light on this sector and lead to the improvement we are all longing for. The graveyard for the planes is an eyesore, typically they will remain there for long as is the trend with other derelict assets. Even though this video appears sponsored, I desire a spontaneous non non-sponsored video of Nigeria aviation as a whole, that will tell a more factual story.Thanks.

Nigeria, the heartbeat of Africa. Restricting filming at airports isn't only about covering up corruption and originally started as a security measure stemming from the raid at Entebbe airport hostage situation in 1976. Perhaps it's now unnecessary but that's one explanation. The Nigerian government also recently signed an MOU with Boeing, so let's see if that helps matters in the near future.

[@Bprovo]

In Nigeria in general, filming is poorly tolerated, compared to other parts of the world. It's not even the airports. Just in Nigeria in general. In most parts of the world, this is not the case. You can go to any random city and film just about anywhere.
