Chidoka expressed strong objections to the handling of the ban imposed by Emirates Airlines, particularly questioning its timing and the perceived targeting of Nigeria. He pointed out what he perceived as inconsistencies in the airline’s actions, highlighting the fact that while Emirates banned travel from 20 countries, it did not suspend flights to any of them except Nigeria.

According to Chidoka, the decision to halt flights to Nigeria while continuing operations in other countries owed to Emirates Airlines’ perception of Nigeria owing them money. He emphasized that Emirates Airlines continued to operate in other countries despite similar outstanding payments, raising concerns about the rationale behind singling out Nigeria.

Moreover, Chidoka criticized Emirates Airlines for allegedly investing substantial sums into Nigeria while simultaneously banning Nigerian travelers, suggesting ulterior motives behind the ban. He speculated that the ban might have been motivated by a desire to prevent Nigerians from attending the expo hosted by the airline, possibly due to concerns about criminal behavior or other issues.

Chidoka concluded by lamenting the perceived loss of Emirates Airlines as an ally to Nigeria, citing its importance in facilitating connections with eastern economies. His remarks have sparked debates regarding the relationship between Nigeria and international airlines, as well as the motivations behind Emirates Airlines’ actions.

The controversy surrounding Chidoka’s claims underscores the complexities of international relations in the aviation industry and raises questions about the treatment of Nigeria by global carriers. As the debate continues, the future of Emirates Airlines’ operations in Nigeria remains uncertain.
