baby_mama: The funniest ride I had was going home one Christmas and passing through Europe and the plane was filled with OMATA traders coming home for Christmas
Chineke God
Come and See fashion
gold chains on their necks
The rings on tiheir fingers
Assorted jeans
Some even wore cowboy boots
Honestly the jet was filled with about 3/4 Igbos all speaking Igbo
It felt like i was inthe midst of an umunna gathering
It was kinda interesting but traders will always be traders,they were very very loud

The flight attendants kept announcing that folks sit down and belt up ,whosai
They were sitting on the chair arms facing backwards and talking to their paddy man 3 seats down

Through out the flight all I heard around me was how they bought this in China
How they bought that in Taiwan
When their ship will arrive from Holland
As soon as the seat belt sign is turned off they get up,walk down to a friend sitting elsewhere and stand on the aisle and start gisting loudly in Igbo
One kept eyeing me and I kept adjusting my wedding ring till he saw it
It was the loudest flight I had been in
The only thing they didn't do on that fight was shout Igbo kwenu

That's likely an Air France or KLM

Jollof: @ all the haters who dislike my post - Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Mission accomplished!

For the record, I'm a Nigerian and proudly one too. I'm also not perfect and I never said I was. I never said other nationalities are incapable of doing these annoying things - my focus was on Nigerians only. Insults directed towards the OP just imply that I have struck a nerve that caused you to vent in an uncouth manner. Unfortunately for you, there will be more of these types of posts and I won't stop until attitudes start to change. Sue me or post your own

lafflaff123: No habits by anybody annoys me in the plane and as my friend told me BUY FIRST CLASS if you can't stand the things you see in the economy class and until then,i will continue taking in the good,the bad and the ugly of the economy class.

And at POSTER i don't know how often you travel,but if you travel a lot like me then you should have out grown looking out for faults or habits in other's as people can not be like you,act like you or be like you want them to be.

Just want to add an experience i had sometime last year and it was sad.

As a veteran of ECONOMY CLASS i was coming from Nigeria via Delta to the US and on getting to my sit there was a young girl(later discovered she is yoruba)on my space,looked at the boarding pass and number to be sure and told her excuse me please that's my sit.

I always take a sit by the aisle because i am tall and so can stretch my legs,she had the middle sit and on the third sit there was a very old man and i said hi to him then sat down.

Just siiting down and noticed this girl was restless and kept closing her nose with her hands and chatting fervently on her blackberry,raised her head up and asked me if we can change sits and i told her no. She started looking around urgently for an air hostess,spotted one and asked her if they can move her and they told her the plane was full and all this happening while the plane had not even taxied yet.

So i am wondering what's up with this girl as her restlessness was starting to bother me,especially as she had that first timer traveller look(over dressed to impress or give the impression they are well to do to the immigration at the port of entry)and after a few minutes she stood up to use the rest room and left her BB by my arm rest but i did not notice it.

Later looked at what was poking me and it was her phone glowing with her BB Chat open. Did not mean to read but the first message there caught my attention and this girl had been busy bashing the old man and texting,chatting and telling everybody via her phone that they put a smelly old man close to her.

I did not smell anything so wondering what the girl was smelling. But above all as an African i have respect for old people and even in my private thoughts i dont disrespect them let alone what the girl was doing by holding up her nose and blatantly insulting the old man by letting the old man know she does not want to be close to him.

We all eventually become old and i hope when she gets old people will run away from her.

She tried to make small banters with me but i ignored her and later when we were filling up our landing card,this stupid girl brought out her passport to fill and it was a fresh Nigerian passport and her first Visa was the US one and the old man she was calling a smelly old man brought out his US Passport.

So i am thinking this stupid girl has this attitude and have never even left Nigeria before and how will she behave when she starts living outside Nigeria.

This might sound mean but i prayed she ran into problems at the port of entry with the immigration people,but since she followed the line at the immigration point for visa holders i did not know how it ended.

Why did i get angry and still angry?my parents are very old and travel at least once a year to visit me for medicals and stuff and just the thought that one supid girl will call my parents SMELLY OLD PEOPLE just because they are OLD makes me get mad. That man did not stink and his only offence was being OLD.

booqee: Ok. Thank God you're nigerian too!
when next you're travelling..mind ur business. Pssst!
because you've only travelled within nigeria, u came with dis warped conclusion. Be in a plane having foreigners within,..and i'm very sure you'd be singing dis same song.
Trash!

opone72: Jolof have u ever travel out of Nigeria before ?all this your points are nonsense

Yacubes: I did 3 n 4 when i was goin 2 malaysia

obadiah777: ALL THESE OLD NAIJA WOMEN DOING AFRICAN TIME FOR FLIGHT AND THEN THEY END UP RUSHING THROUGH THE TERMINAL WITH OVER SIZED GHANA MUST GO BAGS AND THE WIG ON THEIR HEAD IS LOPSIDED AND COCKED AT AN ANGLE OF 45 DEGREES LOOKING LIKE SOME THRILLER MOVIE EXTRA. AND WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY MAKE IT ON THE PLANE THEY START SMELLING LIKE CAMPHOR AND OLD GARMENTS THAT HAS BEEN MOTH EATEN IN A CUPBOARD FOR YEARS WHILE THEIR WIG IS BARELY STAYING ON TOP OF THEIR HEAD BECAUSE OF THE RUN INTO THE PLANE.

doofanc: What i cannot understand is why people rush into the planes,

chucky234: What's with this upper case thing,cut the crap mehn.

Adura_ngba: These just shows this bush OP has only been in a plane flying to or from Nigeria only all his life.

I can bet some people who havent been on an international flight are also writing jargon on in here.
