Nigerian comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, has publicly called out Air Peace over their persistent flight delays.
In a recent social media post, Mr Jollof voiced his frustration with the airline, questioning who would be responsible for the financial losses incurred due to these delays.
The comedian, who has previously shown support for notable figures like Burna Boy, suggested that if Air Peace is unable to maintain its flight schedules, it might be better suited for a different line of business, such as point-of-sale (POS) transactions.
He has also called on Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, to impose sanctions on airlines that mistreat their customers.
In his social media post, Mr Jollof shared his personal experience with Air Peace, noting that despite his frequent travels with the airline more than 50 flights this year alone, he has consistently faced delays.
He recounted a particularly frustrating incident where a flight he booked for 3 PM to Abuja was delayed until 9:30 PM, with the only explanation provided being “operational issues and schedule maintenance.”
Watch him speak here.
This comes shortly after Nollywood actress, Eve Esien called out same Airpeace airline. In her post, Eve Esien wrote;
”How does your client get a biz class ticket booked days back and you start tossing your client back and forth. came here for an appointment. For crying out loud, I don’t live in Abuja. I should be going to Asaba today, to start a job tomorrow.
Now i’m stuck! No seat for tomorrow even. If you cancel a flight for today, shouldn’t there be consideration that you will fly the next day?
I call your airpeace customer care representative and she is asking me to reroute to Anambra or Benin.
Who foots the bill? I didnt know my route when i booked the flight? The said Anambra is even fully booked. Isn’t this just a big joke right here.
As if it’s not enough, she says “go to the airport and take a 50-50 chance, someone may not show up.”
This brand is a JOKE!!! I try to get an agent in the airport to check if I can get any other flight. “Ma, they are all fully booked but we can get black market for you.”
Huh! Black Market for flight ticket?! Hmmm…
Airpeace @flyairpeace I don’t like drama. I dont intend to create one. You people better get me into Asaba tomorrow. I am so livid right now.”
The crux of the matter was that Eve Esin’s flight had been moved twice, and the second time, the flight was even cancelled.
