You write very well, I must applaud your literary creativity.
This is the stuff writers are made of. Great piece!
Grammar and spelling errors did not take one dot out of your truly enjoyable narration.
Please, write more often. I shall be following you.

Was exactly d same feelings wen I was commin to Lagos last year for d first tym wit Ekele dili chukwu transport. Afta spending abt 46yrz of ma life in d village and xposed to jst bike's and bicycles.

When I got to d park on that very day it was surely a new beginning. Entered d bus it was vewi long wit luvly seats.

I loved d view fron d window seeing peoole passing and alwz waving @them.

When I finally arrived lagos (maza-maza) and headed for ikorodu wia my cousin lived I lost my wallet that was well inserted inside my village jean trouser. Then I got to undstnd d story about Lagos.

'When we got on the plane, I went to sit on another person's seat not knowing the seats where numbered! It was this same lady who came from no where before the hostess and said, "what's your seat number".''

Which Airline was that? Before you even step into the aircraft an air hostess would collect your cut out boarding pass, look at it and direct you accordingly.

I think you lied or you didn't remember exactly what happened. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

@contactmorak so you are even a male? I thought you were a female embarking on a journey to abuja to see her new-found boyfriend. cheesy. Well, I'm glad you had a nice journey to and fro.
Don't limit your flying to domestic flights alone. Try flying international too, because the procedures are different, also the kind of aircraft and the people you meet. I ve made great friends from various countries onboard international flights and I find flying a form of education.
Life is too short to be born, bred and aged in ibadan, see other states and if u can, see the world. It broadens your horizon.
Cheers

I'm Travelling By Air For The First Time Tomorrow, Pls Advice Me

InitialIy I didn't want to write about it, but then I went back to the thread I created yesterday and saw the huge number of people interested, I thought it was only fair I give you guys a feedback. You see, i clocked 30 this week, and travelling yesterday by air thought me a lot. It thought me to be adventurous and try things in life just for the knowledge even if you are not really freak abt it. I've had opportunities to travel by flight several times but I've enjoyed the road so much that I always declined. I'm not even freak about the plane just like I'm not abt travelling abroad, gagets, and things that freak people in general. Although I'm freak about women and making money! I don't even look like someone that makes money at all. If you saw me yesterday while heading to board, you'd think I just came from the village! And I've been in Lagos since 1992. So I got a lady at the airport to handle the ticketing for me since I have missed my initial flight and she came back with my boarding pass in no time. And I needed to be in Abuja as soon as possible.

So while I was on my way to board, I didn't know what to do. Instead of me to just pass thru to where the airline bus will convey us to the aircraft area, I went to join a long queue of people waiting to get their luggage checked. While going to get my boarding pass stamped, there was a lady I saw which I really liked and I wanted to approach. Her eyes caught mine as weLl, and she smiled. But she noticed shortly that I was a JJC with the way I was fumbling with the processes. She saw that I was confused when one of the airline staff announced that those who were boarding should go a certain way and I didn't know what that was about. The lady I thought I was going to 'toast' then said "you should go there", asking me to leave the queue. I was ashamed of myself honestly.

When we got on the plane, I went to sit on another person's seat not knowing the seats where numbered! It was this same lady who came from no where before the hostess and said, "what's your seat number". Then I guessed the number shud be on the boarding pass slip with me, so I was taking time to check and I cudnt easily locate it, the lady then showed me again! Don't know why this drop dead gorgeous babe was just looking out for me, but my lapses killed my confidence to strike a serious conversation with her and she was sitting right in my front.

Another experience I had was the seat belt. Not that I expect buckling a seat belt should be an issue, but over the years I've heard people talk a lot abt a plane's seat belt. So I was scared it must be really that hard. So the first thing I did when I sat was to try practice the buckling the seat belt to avoid another embarrasment. I found out I did it well, but I was stil scared I might be wrong. So I went on google to search 'how to fasten a plane seat beat' I was hoping to find a step by step pictorial explanation, but what I saw were what could happen if you did not fasten it well. Before I cud search further the pilot had announced that we switched off our fones, and fasten our seat belt, so I did. The hosteses where beautiful and nice, and I cud have ask them questions but I was seating by the window so as to take pics that will indicate I was indeed in a plane. If I ask the hostess a question from that angle, people will notice. So there was this Deeper Life woman beside me. She seems nice. So I asked her in Yoruba, if I fasten it welll, she nodded smiling and said 'yes, very well. Good'. I noticed she looked at me again some moments later before focusing on the Deeper Life book she was reading.

As the big man made bird soar in the air, it felt like heaven as I saw clouds like smoke. Before we reach a high altitude, big planes and building around the airports began to look like toys and when we finally reached high, the earth looked like maps and the arrangement of the earth and the towns became well defined and organised. Everything looked tiny. At a point, it looked like the plan was shaking but I wasn't scared. The most amazing thing I noticed is that, while in the sky, it looked like the plane wasn't speeding at all. I felt it was moving at the pace of a broken down vehicle that is being pushed. That's so STRANGE to me! One thing I cannever forget again, was the smile on one of the hostess' face. Gosssh, she soon made me forget the girl I earlier told you guys about. There was something magnetic about her smile that if I was to have commited a crime and such a girl finds me, she can easily lure me out to the police with that smile. Her smile made me weak! I just have to confess! Did I tell you guys I didn't go with any of the airlines I earlier mentioned? I went with First Nation Airline. That was my first of hearing about them. Their plane looks new and everything looked profession, even the way the pilot spoke and all. I've heard so many bad things about Nigerian airlines. The video of Banky W and others getting trapped in one Nigerian airline recently, made me even scared. So from there on everything looked normal for me!

I like this qoute by Abraham Lincoln "I may be slow walker, but I've never moved backward". I can say that of myself as well. One thing about my life is that every new step I take, I get better with it almost immediately. When I was making a certain amount of money, I wanted to change, just recently, my digit changed and it has been consistent. Even in the areas of my academic pursuit from Primary school to my university days. When I catch up on things, I do it with such a great speed and regularity. That's why I don't like to drink and smoke cos once I start, I don't know what will happen. What I'm saying now is that from today onward, I'll travel by air more often than even many many people who have been doing it way before me. I'm going to travel out soon...I'm going to learn to swim, I'm going to try so many new good things. I've learnt my lessons.

Thank you!
If u reside in lagos and perhaps close to me I can teach u how to swim for free, my cousins are all thanking me today for teaching them how to swim...all u need do is to pay for my own swimming, I don't drink or smoke so no need to flex me in such area alongside...below is me and some1 diving.

My first experience on board a Dana aircraft going to Abuja from Lagos was not really that awkward for me but a little bit scary. I noticed the pressure inside the airplane increased just as the plane was about to be airlifted and when it was descending. Mehn, I thought my ear drums were going to burst, I felt a very sharp pain on both of my ears to the point I had to call the attention of one of the pretty air hostesses and told her about it, she told me to continue to swallow saliva, it did not help much. I got my relief only after we had touched ground and the plane started running on the tarmac.

Another scary experience I had was when I discovered that a part of the left wing(I sat on the seat close to where the wing is) was flapping in a way as if was going to detach. It was so scary because it didn't look that way when we left Lagos. Thank God we arrived Abuja safely anyway, but Dana airline scares the shit out of me.

My first time of travelling by air was a decade ago.
It was a smallish plane. I was a student and an IT attache to the office of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Olusegun Mimiko who incidentally is now the Governor.
I was supposed to prepare a powerpoint slide (which was a big deal back then) for Mimiko's presentation at a conference in Abuja, time ran out so I had to follow him on the trip to complete the slides.

Incidentally, that was my first trip to Abuja and my first trip to Northern Nigeria. June 8, 2004 (also the anniversary of Abacha's death) very memorable day for me

Mehn, my first time travelling by air was Arik air from Calabar to Lagos i was going for training. Initially whenever am scheduled for training, i have always prefered going by road. But on this day, I was forced to go by air as my flight ticket was sent to my email. My heart kept beating very fast until we landed. Infact, when we were about to take off i kept praying and when we became airborne i held the seat of the plane so tight. That day, i said my last prayer.
when we were descending i was so nervous and restless as if the plane was going to crash, that a lady seated beside me had to ask if it was my first time and I had to tell her the truth.
I think the aircraft was a small jet, I think its a challenger if i can remember its name now.
But now, i cant travel long distance by road again, its always by air and it must be ARIK.
