Nigeria Airways to Tiko and Hong Kong
[edit]To the best of my knowledge, Nigeria Airways never operated to either Tiko (Cameroon) or Hong Kong, as far as scheduled flights are concerned. Does someone have concrete evidence it did? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.241.47.196 (talk) 19:39, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- A reference was provided for Tiko. Didn't find a reference for HKG yet.--Jetstreamer (talk) 00:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit]The list of cities served by the company was removed from the article and split into Nigeria Airways destinations.--Jetstreamer (talk) 04:28, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Unnecessary reverts & WP:EDITWAR
[edit]@WilliamJE:, I kindly request you to READ THE SOURCE I HAVE ADDED IN:[1] (The source clearly states in the fifth paragraph: "Earlier, in a special Monday night radio broadcast, Vice President Alex Ekwueme said flight WT-250 from Lagos to Enugu carried 61 people - 55 passengers and a crew of six.") instead of reverting my edits without an edit summary:[2], [3] and causing a WP:EDITWAR. Add your reply below otherwise if you think I'm making an error. And again, please DO NOT revert my edit without giving an appropriate reason. 27.56.147.33 (talk) 16:51, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- To thick skulled IP editor. Your reference does not corroborate what it is on. Read it carefully and compare it to the article....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:30, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- @27.56.147.33 and WilliamJE: I have fully protected the article for three days in response to the edit war and blocked WilliamJE for 24 hours for violating the three revert rule. Once WilliamJE's block expires, please civilly discuss the dispute here to determine how the article/accident section should read when the protection expires. As a blanket warning, personal attacks or further edit-warring are likely to result in blocks of escalating duration. Also, to the extent helpful for discussion (as the dispute appears to be about adding the flight number of a prior crash), after doing a quick search I found a second UPI article that repeats Ekwueme's quote of a flight number that 27.56.147.33 references.
