what passengers go through ,flying with Arik air

Arik Air
This got me thinking, what if these passengers do not have extra cash on them? I hope there is compensation for such. I really don't think its fair on passengers to continue to have such experiences.

Arik air today cancelled its flight from Accra to Abuja apologizing to customers that its due to scarcity of aviation fuel.

What do you think should be done? Please drop your comment

AN INCREDIBLE CAVE IN NIGERIA

Image
          The Ogbunike Cave The Ogbunike Caves are in Ogbunike , Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria. Located in a valley blanketed by tropical rain forest, the collection of caves has been in use over centuries by local people for whom it has particular spiritual significance. This spiritual significance is still apparent, as the “Ime Ogba” celebration is undertaken every year to commemorate the discovery of the caves.    Descending into the valley where the caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid 90s. Visitors must remove their shoes before entering the caves, as per tradition. And women who are having their monthly circle cannot go in.                        The main cave consists of a massive structure with a big open chamber of about 5m high, 10m wide and 30m long at the entrance. There are ten tunnels at the main chamber leading to diffe

Brexit effect on travllers

Image
What will Brexit mean for travellers? Today your pound will go 70 per cent further in Russia and Zambia than it did in 2013, giving you around £210 extra for every £500 exchanged. Meanwhile, in South Africa and Brazil you’ll get 35 per cent more value for the pound. Some short-haul destinations also offer more bang for your buck: Norway currently offers 22 per cent better value than it did in 2013, and both Sweden and Hungary offer 11 per cent more for the pound. It’s heartening news for British travellers, says Ian Strafford-Taylor, CEO of FairFX: "Picking destinations which offer favourable long-term rates mean that you’ll get more for your money and therefore much better value this summer."
