Lagos To London Direct Flight: Yoruba Man Writes Open Letter To Air Peace About Their Igbo Outfit
- The Isiagu outfit that Air Peace staff wore for the inaugural Lagos to London direct flight has continued to generate a buzz online
- Reacting to the outfit, a Yoruba man wrote a hearty open letter to the company on Facebook and tagged Air Peace to it
- In the letter, he noted that he didn't see Igbo in the dressing and hailed the nation for scoring a good goal with Air Peace's feat
Air Peace launched its Lagos to London direct flight with classy Igbo outfits, which has since sparked debates on social media.
Folorunso Fatai Adisa, a Yoruba man, has shown solidarity with the Nigerian airline regarding the Isiagu outfit
Folorunso challenged Yorubas and Hausas
In an open letter he wrote on Facebook, Folorunso said he was 100 percent with Air Peace and challenged his tribesmen or Hausa/Fulani folks who do not like the outfit to set up their own airline and ply the same route.
Folorunso added that he didn't see Igbo but Nigeria in the dressing and commended the country for scoring a good goal through Air Peace's feat.
He promised to patronise Air Peace should he have a reason to travel to London. His letter read:
"Dear Air Peace,
"Regarding this outfit, I am with you 100%. If any of my Yoruba brothers/sisters or Hausa-Fulani people do not like the dressing, they should do us a favor by establishing an aviation company that will fly the same route, where their crew would wear Agbada and Babaringa. As for me, I didn’t see Igbo in the dressing. All I see is Nigeria; we have just scored a good goal.
"In fact, kindly feel free to serve me Igbo dishes if you can. Should I have any reason to fly LON-LOS anytime soon, I shall be flying with you. Thank you and God bless you!
"Yours affectionately,
"Adisa.
"(OmO LiLE)."
