A Nigerian man has taken to social media to narrate his unpleasant experience at the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport in Owerri, Imo state.

According to Oladunjoye Tunde, there was power outage at the airport for over three hours as flight passengers were left stranded. The airport was also said to be leaking even as repair works were ongoing.

Below is what he shared on Facebook earlier today;

For the benefit of those who do not know, today, I discovered the full meaning of Iberiberism in Owerri.

At the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport, there was power outage for over three hours. We were all sweating like Easter Fowls! At a point I have to ask Angela Nkwo-Akpolu to leave to save her from further heat. We walked past the metal detector that what was not in use due to absence of electricity. The departure hall was in darkness and people had to sit outside and some actually sat on the edge of the tarmac.

When the Air Peace flight scheduled to take off from Owerri at 5pm arrived Owerri at about 5.45pm, people who were already outside on the tarmac refused to go back to the Departure Hall in order for their tickets to be checked before boarding.

The Airport was leaking seriously, even as repair works were ongoing.

My people that’s it: Iberiberism!

After watching that Ethiopian airline burst into flames,I vowed never to travel by air.Funny enough my house is sharing a barb wire fence with d airport and I see people trooping in and out of the airport to board flights,all I do Is pray for their safety silently. I can't imagine myself entering those old planes.

every man has an appointmented time. When it ain't your time to die then it ain't.

Reminds me of a plane crash back in 2009 where Of 153 aboard, 152 died.
A12-year-old passenger, Bahia Bakari, was found alive

you just had to squeeze both words into one.

Even me sef fear now wey I see am

Obviously the airport is undergoing repairs ....the airport should even be shut down to allow for repairs

If that plane took off with those passengers with no security check, then Nigeria is truly an animal kingdom.

This should be a national disgrace and someone needed to be fired for that.

Nigeria I hail thee.

Iberiberism

No there are waiting for something terrible to happen first.

Nigeria Govt with lack of maintenance ethics

Nigeria as a country measures technological development in the number of acquired "technological products" it has rather than in her "technological abilities".

Hence we purchase the latest air conditioners, planes, streetlights, etc without the technical know-how of either theirproduction nor maintenance.

And our leadership are so myopic, they think only in terms of contracts that can be awarded for more latest technologies.

If you haven't boarded a flight before, let's take a selfie here

It's only in the East things like this happen. Everything about them na Okrika

This man is a kid, why do we always seek validation from social media. Most of us fly every second, we encounter negative experiences and we overcome. Negative experiences make you stronger and it is a global thing. Nawao

You might actually be more at risk living close to the airport than boarding an aircraft. Most crashes happen during take off or landing process making airport vicinity dangerous. Imagine the number of planes that land and take of daily.
