That airport is a disgrace. What of the fact that you have to dish our 500 naira to use a trolley. Something that is free everywhere else in the world. This country should be sold to China and the money shared for everyone. Useless country.

Its actually N150

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.

Oh I totally understand but I just wished that they can have a more modern and scientific method of testing versus just total ban. The same yams are available in stores in Los Angeles. That's the issue I have.

You buy 3 pieces of tubers for $70 (N18,500) and half of them are rotten.

Good lord, 3 pieces of yam for $70. A box of yams in Brooklyn is $85 and has about 12 yams. If you go for the Brazilian or Colombian yam, a box is about $35 - $40.

Unfortunately, things are at a bit of a premium here in Southern California.

He's right. Here in San Diego county, the average price of a haircut is $8 for adults. Some places in my city even charge up to $12.
A 35-pack of bottled water is over $5! A loaf of bread goes for $4, car wash goes for nothing less than $10 (if it's hand-washed); but the average price of gas is around $2.70/gallon.

Lol! Is there anything like traveling light to Naija, I can imagine all the requests the person would have received. even from the great aunty's,cousin who is also an in law to their great grandfather. grin

please help yourself by looking for a sim card or good Samaritan to use their phone and call when you get in to naija. They should be able to come pick you up from the exits. The last time I was there someone offered to allow me use their phone for a fee. Good luck!!!

Lol. There is nothing like that o. Left to our people, if the airlines start accepting 4 free checked bags, Nigerians will immediately take advantage of it grin

I don't know of anyone that has travelled to Naija with only one, or no checked bag

Sir or ma, using trolley at airport is not free everywhere in d world. I live in frankfurt germany and at d frankfurt airport which i must add is d busiest airport in d whole of europe, u av to insert a one or two euro coin into d trolley before it can be unchained for u to use. After using it , u drop it in a rack without getting ur money back.

So stop painting everything in nigeria as bad as if u av bin everywia in d world

Point of Correction

Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe.

Trolleys are free where i am.

You would think that with the hugh amount of cash that the airlines pay in licensing fees would ensure that travellers have access to trolleys angry
