Its there problem if they have no clue how to solve the real problems. Insulting a whole nation must stop. If we take a stand with this idiots, the others will get the message. We don't all have to stop flying them. Just enough to dent their pocket is all we need. That's the only place where they fell pain.

@Highlighted, Precisely on point! That's what BA did by that irrational act of dismbarking 135 passengers (mainly nigerians) from that flight. That's what got me riled up when I read the story the first time.
I mean if they had just removed Mr Ademola alone, (as bad as that could be) maybe I'd say well, he deserved it. But to clear the whole cabin and giving some flimsy excuse, that's going to far! That's insulting us as a people. And then the Minister for aviation requests that BA's director in naija attend a meeting to discuss it but instead of attending, he sends a junior manager to meet the minister. Then this latest one of sending another manager to apologise to nigeria.
For those who think this was cool. Turn the tables around for a while. If it was US citizens that this happens to, and it had gotten to the attention of The US aviation secretary/minister and the US president, etc etc if BA were to apologise, who do you suppose will make the apology? A manager based in washington? Or the BA's director?
Please let's have some self-worth, BA's attitude/approach to this whole incidence so far, stinks and is at best very condescending.
