This is not a laughing matter.

It will take me 45 days according to Google maps.

Adanne, it might take you 45 years to complete the journey, I hope you know how to ride a camel sha.

Mr Aboki:

In Nigeria, You only wrap at the airport after searching..

In Obodo Oyibo, you can do it from home because most times, searches are done via scanners and dogs.. However, it is always wise to wrap your bags at the airport after you have been cleared because you might have to open and take stuff out of it during check-in.. Example: Excess weight, e.t.c.

adaobi123:

I only wrap when needed - if the luggage has a hole or something.

I wrap at home or before I check in.

But in Nigeria I wrap after the searching.

Thank you.

Without any intent to sound rude, I'd say your post is pointless. A Cargo or Passenger aircraft has limits to its cargo carrying capacity, there are safety limits and extra cargo weight margins in which luggages for which extra cash has been paid are fixed. Its a different thing if bags are turned back at departure airports for being overweight in which case you're asked to remove stuff in it, or rather procure another bag as the case may be, or pay a stipulated figure (per each Kg by which the bag is overweight) but once your bags are aboard, there's absolutely no justification for airport workers to demand you pay extra for your luggages which must have passed through the ticketing and clearing sections already. The Lagos airport has always been known for being very unruly and a lot of its workers, for being lackadaisical. The extra 2,000 naira per luggage is a bloody rip-off. Nuff said.

Maybe you should carefully/properly read the comments. Of course an airline has weight limits. That is not the issue. Nigerians go to dubai to purchase goods. Most of these goods are not personal items and are subject to fees if properly declared. Have you been on an emirate flight from dubai? How can one passenger possess 5-6 bags of ghana must go and term them "personal luggage". Come on, we know the deal

playcharles: You guys are not serious, if u can afford 250k for flight, na becus of only 2k una come they read the book of LAMENTATIONS for, may the gods fire una mouth

Yea. I get it. However, I doubt the Emirates staff would load 5-6 bags in the name of just one person. I've flown DXB - LOS a few times via Emirates and anytime I checked in there, the maximum weight allowed was 45kg in one bag, or 25kg in 2 bags for economy fliers (I can't remember the figures exactly), so I doubt the airline would permit more than 2 bags even if the combined weight was permissible. However, whatever the circumstances might be leading to leaving the departure airport with your bags in the cargo hold of the plane enroute your destination (unless you're heading for a transit airport), I don't think its legal for the destination airport staff to offload your luggages and then start asking you to pay them 2,000 bucks per bag for carraige. Its just like the trolleys at MMIA that you've got to pay for before using them. Its Illegal to part with your money in these circumstances.

I totally understand the fact that some Nigerians tend to go overboard with luggage limits, but then again I also realize that some of these so-called Nigerian immigration officials and airport personnel are nothing but daft, bad-belle incompetent phools. They take up this new rule with relish, and apply it to all and sundry; regardless of your luggage.

You need to experience this to actually believe it. Someone told me to pay #4OOO for my two (2) bags each weighing 23kg. How do they constitute cargo? I dropped my polished English right there and then and gave it to them ooo. And yes, this only happens at MMIA!! Crossed my mind to fly only from NAIA, Abuja from henceforth. It is extremely sane when compared to the MMIA!!
