Why is life so difficult in Nigeria. I returned to Nigeria from a trip yesterday and was defrauded at the arrival area by dollar changers. Up till now, I still can't understand how half of the money I changed disappeared before I got to my hotel. I don't believe in money disappearing, so I think he must have played some trick in the process of counting. It's still mysterious cos I think I counted the money very well, and I am usually very careful. The only thing is I felt very uncomfortable with the man, and even joked about my money disappearing to my driver. Next time, I will follow my intuition more. Now back to the airport this morning. Arik pilots on strike. I have been standing on the check-in line for well over 1hr without any help. How will Arik be owing it's pilots salaries for over 4months? The only thing I am sure of now is that the whole day is messed up for me. Whether we would eventually fly today, I don't know.

Yet they charge very high with poor services. Those people don show me pepper

I hear the dispute has now been resolved. Can anyone else confirm?

I don't think so. I think they ve found a way to take a few flights, specifically two flights to Abuja. Announcements have now started coming for flights cancellation, two so far cancelled. I ve been on my feet for hours now, no where to sit & still praying that mine will also not be cancelled. And nobody is giving us any information.

Hm.

I just put a call to the Arik manager to help me secure a ticket on their flight tomorrow morning only for him to tell me that their Pilots have gone on strike.

God will help Nigeria

My flight was eventually cancelled yesterday around 5pm. Several flights were cancelled yesterday. So frustrating. I hope we'd make it today.
