By the Nigerian government.

Nope this isn't a case of give us $100m to unlock the $5B left to you.

The Nigerian government is claiming that BA and VS colluded over fares charged to Nigeria and charged more to fly there than to Ghana.

From my point of view, it's time for both airlines to step up and stop flights to Nigeria, yes they are huge money makers for both airlines, but Nigeria really has to learn to play well with others.

Having sampled the delights of that country a couple of years back through a work conference, can't help but agree!

And if you would all give me your bank account numbers and PINs, I will kindly deposit the $100m in your account via money transfer.
