I was at the checking-in  Section when One Of the Immigartion Officers at the Airport held on to my passport, Rambling on in French!! am like  I only Understand Basic French ie the Pleasantries!! No Amount of "I Nor Comprends" . ."Je Ne Comprends Pas " was goona get me out of this!! 


~I Know he knew i couldnt understand a word he was saying . . .I was clearly getting frustrated now,all efforts for him to explain to me what the problem was in English were just ignored!!


~Since i didnt understand what he was saying,i had no way to know he was enquiring about "Yellow Card"     Finally Another Passenger who has been observiing us,saw how distressed i was and  stopped to help!! He Explained to me what the whole rambliing was about,am like "Now what!!" I didnt have a yellow card,i told him i was vacinated before i left the UK but he wasnt Interested in that!!


~Infact he started Looking at my passport as if its Doggy!! I was close to tears now,i kept thinking "I don't want to miss my Flight"



~Meanwhile, "My Guardian Angel" was trying to negotiate with him what the fee was if i couldnt produce the card,he asked for some ridiculous amount!!,The last leg of my Journey,i was skint of any Franc,so i knew i was Forked !! 


~This Man i Didnt know from Adam Paid the Amount for me without hesitation    i cudnt thank him enough!! I have no idea what his name is,but His act of Kiindness has remained with me for 10 years now !! I will always be grateful!!

Yeah, nice topic.

I had to travel urgently to Jos late last year. I had depended on Nicon airways (they offered rebate tickets) only to call them to book and be told that their licence had been suspended by the authorities. I had no other choice but arik air. On getting to their stand at the International airport, i was told that flights to Jos were from the Old local airport and only flights to abuja took off from the international airport and that i had less than 15mins before the plane departs.

I then rushed outside to pick a cab. The dude charged me 3,500 naira just to drop me at the local airport from international airport. I begged the dude, flashed my nysc id card, the guy wont reconsider. All i had on me was the money i had budgeted for a DIRECT flight from lagos to jos.

After coughing out the money, i got to the local airport and i had missed the flight to jos. I had to buy chachangi's ticket to abuja. They offered no rebate. This meant i had to board a cab from abuja airport to jabi park before then joining a vehicle to jos.

With a gloomy face, i boarded the flight, thinking of how much i would pay to those greedy abuja airport cab drivers (this would leave me with very little or no money to get to jos) and it is almost impossible to 'stroll' out of abuja airport to the major road.

To cut the story short, an elderly man sat beside me on the plane and he started a conversation and we ended up talking about the crazy air fares, missed flights, air mishaps, etc. Told him my experience that morning. He just laughed and told me to serve my country and stay put at jos. Anyway, he asked his driver to drop me at jabi park and even paid my fare to Jos. God bless him because without him that day, being cash strapped with just my cab fare to jos, i do not know how i would have left abuja airport.
