Trolleys are not free to use in many airports around the world.

There are a few exceptions such as London Heathrow, Dubai, and HIA Doha but in most places you pay to use trolleys.

At some airports such as Dallas Fort Worth, you can get your coin deposit back when you return the trolley.

I have no issues with receipted payments in Nigeria.

And there are several of them lurking round the corner. Once you give to one of them, others will come after you and disturb your peace until you are embarrassingly forced to give to each and everyone of them. I fell into their trap once.

was so pissed the day one put that thing on me. I thought it was free until she said I had to pay, I gave her 5h, she refused o, insisted I had to pay 2k5 shocked shocked shocked
I was about to do something really stupid, my cousin had to give her the money to save all of us the embarrassment.

I think it's only Lagos airport that has such issues.

Dear nairalanders,

Why things are done differently in Nigeria? Of all airports I have been to, it is so embarrassing, only Nigeria's airports (Muritala Muhammad Airport in particular) collect money for trolley from customers arriving/departing the country. The most unfortunate part is, those guys in charge sometimes pretend they do not have change so that you can forfeit your remaining money. If you tell them you don't have money, they will even ask you to bring foreign currency...

It is very disheartening because foreigners are been asked to pay before they can take/use too. Imagine, what they will be saying about our country when they get to their place?

We call on the Federal Government to kindly see to this.

Please, let's keep sharing this till it gets to those in charge. Enough of all these international embarrassments in our airport.

Trolley should me free!
It's free in Europe and China - at least the countries I've visited.

The day Abuja airport, they said I will pay, they didn't even allow non-flyers to enter the general lounge. My mum was just behind the scanner watching my bags. I was taking them one after another to the boarding area cheesy

When I was coming for my 3rd and last bag, the customs officers said, “Hey, you are patroling a restricted area”. He was just looking for “office”. Kobo e no go see. Husai! cheesy

I've been to a lot of countries and it's free in most countries. It's only in the US I've paid for a trolley, not even in Canada.

There are many airports where trolleys are free too. The disgusting looking trolleys are not even enough, and then some porters have designated themselves as compulsory trolley pushers to extort money.

The whole international airport system in naija is just so poorly organized and corrupt. They need to hand it over to proper managers like they did MM2 in Lagos. Dt airport is far better than Murtala Muhammad International Airport. Dt MMIA should not even be a village airport. So irritating. Mscheeew.

bro..my advice is anyone coming to Nigeria should always have atleast 3k naira because i fell victim several times because of the anomaly u pointed out...Many times they will take currencies from me to help change it while i stay with my baggage and that's bye bye trolley man has disappeared and u will have to do it all over again with another who will claim to be a Christian and eventually still come back to u and explain the rate at airport is bad etc....Meanwhile u are stressed and want to exit the stuffy environment with poachers,stalkers and extortionists in uniforms...

You can't stop them..Every government rewards their thugs and killers with such jobs...they have associations for every thing..
Re: Payment For Trolley At Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos by Nobody: 11:47am On Nov 29, 2018
I think it’s that way because of security and safety you don’t just want those things lying around but they are not enough there should be more that airport needs work cosmetically and also internally for it to be of any standard personal I think the luggage transfer system needs an upgrade if we can compare. We are getting there we just have to focus on the important things we sometimes avoid to save money. The distance between where the aircraft stops and where the bags are retrieved need to be shortened by conveyor belts imagine guys just lifting bags then driving back to get more it’s sad

This makes a lot of sense.

You stake your money, use the trolley and return it then pick back your deposit.

With that no one is employed to take care of the trolley.

The way some nigerians thinks is just strange.

Because they pay for trolley in the US meaning we should pay for it also in Nigeria

is Nigeria the US. So we cant have our own system?

I think I understand what the OP is Saying, though they pay for the service in some other countries but our naija own too much and they exploit people a lot.

I just got back into the country last week and I had a terrible experience with them, I was told to pay #1,650. For the trolley meanwhile it’s
#150. I was like seriously? The lady said someone will help me push my boxes, I didn’t asf for help, all I needed was a trolley, those who didn’t know were paying for it but I didn’t.

I ended up pay #300 for two trolleys which is the right price,after she was done insulting me but I don’t care.

So my brother na we dey do ourselves. If you know your right, stand by it.

I imagined how much those guys are making off travelers per day. Hmmm

It was like that before then it was switched to the other way because they were ending up in the bushes and all over the airport. The airport would have to be redesigned to allow for more trolley use and a general area for where they will be kept. The first thing I would do is change the location of the offices of the airlines and have them more walk in friendly. I can see it in my head bro an airport to behold one of the future.

Happens in other Nigerian Airport, e.g Abuja, Kano, Sokoto, Adamawa.

They even have a ticket for it at Kano Airport
