That's not true! In many airports in the USA, including JFK, New York, you pay up to $6 to use a trolley.

And it is not N500 paid for trolleys at MMIA Lagos.

Make we dey talk true.[/quotehow much is pay then?

It's not exactly true that trolleys are free in every airport outside the country. In UK, I paid at Birmingham airport while departing. I think I paid £1 to unluck the trolley. In US, at Bush Intercontinental Houston, I paid $5 to unluck it while departing. At both of these airports, trolleys were free during arrival.
The same thing applies to LAX. Trolleys are free for arriving passengers.

I agree that the airport is a disgrace, but trolleys aren't free in all countries.
At LAX, departing passengers have to shell out $5 for a trolley.

How I wish the upcoming Lekki airport will take over the international functions of MMIA.
Yes at the departing. Arrival is free everywhere else.

amen oh.
I mean, nobody is asking for a miracle but its sickening to see us fail the very basic tasks.
I am sure the maintenance budget for those buses and the toll gate have been duly disbursed but someone is sitting on it.

Sitting on it ke. Money that has been spent on trips to dubai and UK...or maybe its part of the money spent during the elections last year for 'elections logistics'. EFCC where are you

Trolleys are not free everywhere in the world as such, we shouldn't accuse them since the trolley service is quite effective.

Trolley is not free in the USA when departing unless you hijack an unused one in the parking lot. I know that it's free in arrival in Houston but not free in both arrival and departure in LAX

The answer is neither Biafra nor Nigeria.......... it is YOU and ME saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and "making a STAND".

That place you are going, was once like Nigeria ..but THE PEOPLE MADE THEIR STAND!
Even if they give you citizenship.... you will always be "second class" in those places.

Imagine that a twelve year old boy "Tanya" was hot dead by a white Cop within "2 seconds" of approach at a children's park, because the officer said "he was afraid of a 12yr old boy with a Toy gun in his pocket". So he killed the "Black Boy"! undecided undecided

...Yet, grown ups with real guns, threatening the U.S Government, take over a Federal Building since LAST WEEK and still there NOW.
Even the FBI could not approach within 50KM of the location!...because "they were afraid" of what might happen!

Ofcourse, these anarchist are "white folks"........ if they were black, they would have been "dead and buried within ten minutes". grin grin


So, be careful what yo wish for. Let us make our country work for us.





Lastpage!
You're absolutely spot on.
If the anarchists were also brown-skinned Muslims, there will be no bullshit about "avoiding an escalation of the situation". An FBI SWAT team would have invaded the place.

Murtala mohammed has always been an eyesore but under Jonathan, that eyesore became something else . You need to see the immigration desk in arrival to experience the Jonathan's transformation.
In spite of the so called 1 billion dollars worth of transformation.
The place stanks,
Ceiling without ceiling tiles exposing the moldy concrete beams above.

1Leaking roof.
2 Hot and damp.
3 Panty like buckets, the leg of a broken chair all over the place.
4 Broken furniture stacked in a corner and within sight of visitors.
That Hall could have been mostly rectified with less than a million naira.

And Stella Odua was making noise that there was transformation

My friend, go and sit-down.. When you have the opportunity to leave, you'd realise how much of time you have lost staying back in Nigeria. A country with zero progress, nothing works!! Mandela was a leader, are you one? The leaders we have in Nigeria are not ready to make sacrifices, so this country may never get better. Look at the Senate, demanding 40bn for car purchase.. Whenever I read about my country on the net, I weep!!
Nigerian leaders are diseases to our Nation but it seems some citizens like this young man are also aiding those diseases. If USA was bad like NG do you think americans will leave i doubt it

The trolley cost 150 the last time i was at the airport, and in fairness i paid $6 at JFK for a trolley too. So it is not free everywhere else in the world.

You are "right." During Obj and Yaradua the airport was at par with that of Brussels and even Frankfurt. The funds allocated for maintainance were judiciously used and everything was working untill GEJ and ruined everything. Within 5 Years he changed Nigeria from a first world countru to a third world country. Within five years we lost all the cars, cement and other manufacturing industries. Within five years Nigeria that was once a multi-economic nation was reduced to a mono-economic nation. Within five years from zero unemployment rate to what we have now. Untill you people start addressing the root cause of our problems and stop throwing blame around this administration will end up achieving nothing
Root cause was the damn unification decree foisted on the country by the greedy SE elites.

That I'd the problem. That does not stop us from discussing the lost opportunity.
500 billion dollars earned in 5 years excluding the $1 billion loan from China that the corrupt Stella oduah got ftom China and yet the country's busiest airport remains an eyesore.

Excellent.

It is the primary thing that bothers me too. Most of the many other inconveniences can be managed. We all have our tolerances.

How are you expected to have N150 when you're just arriving? Plus the trekking from the car park to the departure lounge no get part 2, the wheels of your luggage fall off cos of the rough path. The baddest one is carrying your heavy luggage up the stairs to get to the departure area..These are just basic stuff that needs to be sorted but nobody seems to care.

Trolley is not free at LAX, you found one that hasn't been picked up by the porters.

There's a line by baggage claim where you have to use a credit card to release one.
