VIRGIN NIGERIA SUPPORTS NIGERIAN CULTURE AT THE ARGUNGU FISHING FESTIVAL

Virgin Nigeria is pleased to announce its support for Nigerian culture and tourism as Official Carrier for the annual Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival holding in March 2009.
The partnership was announced at a press conference at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja , where the festival website was also officially launched. Speaking at the briefing, Virgin Nigeria’s Head of Corporate Communications, Nkiru Olumide-Ojo, explained the airline’s continued support. “Virgin Nigeria is an airline that is genuinely committed to building Nigeria , and to developing various sectors that will drive the Nigerian economy – and that explains our interest in this festival. Above all, we are known as a world class airline from the heart of Africa, and this is what we are about, displaying the best of Nigeria to a global audience. This is the third time we are partnering with this project, and we are glad to be on board one more time.”
The Argungu Festival, which began in 1934, is possibly the oldest and most widely attended festival and cultural event of its kind in Nigeria – an annual four-day fiesta in the north-western Kebbi state.

The Festival has contributed highly to the infrastructural and socio-economic growth of Argungu town and its environs. It has also brought fame and acclaim, both national and International, for the Argungu Emirate, Sokoto and Kebbi States and for Nigeria as a whole.

Indeed as a result of a growing interest in the festival, Argungu as a town and Sokoto and Kebbi states are becoming increasingly identified as some of the most reputable tourist centers in the entire continent of Africa .

As official carrier of the 2009 edition of the Festival, Virgin Nigeria will be ferrying guests to and from Sokoto states, which is one of the routes in its wide regional and domestic network which includes Port Harcourt , Abuja, Owerri, Kano , Sokoto, Calabar , Benin and Enugu.
The nation’s flag carrier, Virgin Nigeria has been at the forefront of promoting Nigerian culture, entertainment and tourism – including partnerships with the Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation, the annual Abuja Carnival, the Durbar Carnival in Kano State , the Calabar Carnival in Cross Rivers State , amongst others.

LINDA AND I:THE FRIEND IN US

I am very grateful to those who intervened concerning yesterday’s issue between Linda and I If you think I over reacted, I am deeply sorry. Trust me; I am not that kind of person. Those who know will tell you that I love enjoying myself and having a good laugh everyday! I play so much (sometimes I wondered what Tee saw in me) because I don’t get bothered about things.

Linda called me last night, she apologized and we settled. I have loads of love for her too. Those who work in the media understand what I am talking about here. Everyday, after a story is published, you get loads of emails, comments, phone calls. Sometimes, they would even call their lawyers to harass you. A lot of people praise you for filing your stories and photos right on time. I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN ABOUT ALL THAT. My reaction yesterday was just an exceptional case.

On a lighter mood, when you write good stories about some celebs, they would pretend they never saw it. Even when some journalists tell them, they will say, “When did you write it? I didn’t see it” However, when it is what they consider a negative story, they will be the first to call you one phone “How dare you write such a thing?” I know some actresses who will call and say “Niyi, thanks! I saw what you wrote about me. It’s good that you people are projecting us well to the outside world. I know some celebs that are just down to earth and humble. They respect what you do and when you didn’t get it right, they call to inform you. At the end, you guys play over it.
