paris10: @Mod, where the hell did you put my post? If you have some personal grudge against me, then meet me somewhere and lets settle this once and for all.

What gave you the effrontery, the audacity, the boldness and semi-colon to delete my post. The post wasn't derogatory nor was it offensive. It was educational and eye-opening. I see each time I mention white people, you're quick to defend them or delete the post. Are you ota-aje, do you need a petition to vote you out?

Don't spoil this forum with your poisoned opinion, we know all about BBC and it's agenda.

I read your post, and nothing was wrong with it. I don't see why it should be hidden or removed. The @mod need to sort out his personal thought about you, seems you guys have been fighting for like forever.

Really? Nothing wrong with calling the poster mothersuckers, ignorant and unintelligent just because the poster narrated his observations?

No No no, you got it all wrong, the word "Mothersuckers" is actually a joke taken from a comedian (Michael Blackson). People on this forum have sense of humor, hence, they did not complain about it. And regarding "ignorant and unintelligent", how does these two words offend you as a person..not minding what the @poster say? And @paris never called @poster Mothersuckers, he was referring to everyone on the forum. There's an s at the end of that word. The word was a complimentary word.

One way or the other, we're all ignorant at some point. What you don't know, you're ignorant of. @paris is right to say that the @poster's comment is unintelligent. @poster made a remark about Nigerians. When someone say "Most Nigerians", automatically, that's an unintelligent statement.

For once I'd like you to admit your wrong and reinstate @paris10 post. You're not being fair if you don't.

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.


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.



Although I agree totally with you, there is a possibility that she might have been perceiving something from the old man.

You see, women's noses are a lot more sensitive than men's. There are times I am in a place with my male sibs and dad and perceive a particular smell, but when I point it out to them, they tell me they can't perceive anything. Happens all the time.

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.

You regard it as a joke, i don't, the word 'mothersucker' is conned out of 'm0therf&cker', its just another way of saying it so as not to get flagged by the system. In comedy many offensive languages are used and people don't complain because its allowed to some limit in that environment.

If he disagrees with the poster about generalizing then he can voice his view without calling him names.

His post will remain hidden.

But it's true what he said. Nigerian like to carry overload(not all nigerians but the majority). This a routine everytime I go to Nigeria.

I tell you. Those airlines dey hammer for Naija. They know that they've got no strong Nigerian competitor. With the volume of passengers that patronise them, these airlines should consider reducing their fares by 50%.

Thank goodness my company pays for my travels but I can't imagine paying $3k/$4k and in some instances 5k dollars for first or business class....that's some sicktard SH$%6T

But companies that serve Nigerians know that we don't have a consumer affairs or an effective consumer advocacy division so they can do to us as they please....

Also with the amount of cash within the system, people are ready. willing, and able to pay cash (smiling like slaves) for these ridiculous prices.

I think the bolded prices are fair enough for a First class ticket on a more than 6-hour journey.

The number of top businesspeople and politicians that don't mind paying any amount, encourages these airlines to charge ridiculous fares.

For First class ticket, you have to pay out of pocket or be upgraded by the airline in question. First class no be beans o. 40% of Emirates ticket sales come from Business/First Class ticket passengers.
I believe BA and Virgin have what they call 'Premium Economy', which is more comfortable than Economy class tongue

On the Consumer Affairs Division, the NCAA already has one, but like u said, we don't know how effective it is.
