It's not as bad as its made out to be, before security its a bit chaotic (very) but once you get through customs (seems quite slow sometimes) it's quite  a respectable airport.

My only complaints really are the late 60's decor in some parts, uncomfortable seating and shops have been closed by customs.

I think the terminal is the least of the problems though, appararantly frequent power outages to important systems happen as well.

The frequent power outages is important but simple, I don't get how people screw in the simplest of things but can excel in other things. I hear Einstein couldn't even tiehis shoe laces. -------found some pics on Wikipedia.com from what I've heard on that site the place is so much better so much better Ja use a window shopper Cool Grin Grin

its still the same old place. They need friggin ACs in there. As soon as i got off the plane, the heat that attacked me from the tunnel made me realise i was in nigeria. This was just in January, i was so irritated when i got there.

Its not only heat attack. People attack, missing baggage is the problem. My own bag got missing, spent 1hr searching for the bag after landing. Later, i had to go to their ogas office upstairs, where someone advised i should go check out and if possible, "see" the oga.

I was so surprised, I found my bag right where it was described. How they knew where I was coming from, I didnt know. I had to part with a 5,000 bucks(JYen) though.

@ Kimba!
Lol. I was so irritated that I felt like leaving without my luggage. I just couldnt stand the heat, I almost went coocoo.
Damn nigerian heat can drive u nuts. Wonder how I dealt with it before leaving the country Huh Huh
They don't even have the friendliest faces at the airport, most of the people there look so darn miserable. I was like, "The Heck"!. Then some Army Man pulled me aside asking me the dumbest questions, where were u born( while lookin at my passport). I was like up your ass, around the corner. Didnt mean to be feisty, but Damn the heat!
