How would you know what is being added to what when your dumb, shitty self has never even set eyes on the remodelling blueprint? How the bloody hell do you know what is being done there? Daft idio.t.

Why not wait for the remodeling to end before publishing trash reports based on hate and ethnic antagonism. When a particular aviation minister was busy chasing abuja prostitutes,, diverting needed funds into family accounts and filling the critical vacancies with tribal followers, you did not shout. Now you expect just few months of corrections to miraculously wipeoff your years of destructive inputs

under Obasanjo, MMA 2, the best airport in Nigeria was built and concessioned to a private coy.

OP, you have not been anyway jaare. Am not seeing that MMA is cool the way it is, but you really have to know how to present your case they are worst airports in Africa, that are not even worth calling airports for example the Ghana airport international airport in Accra. Even a Ghanaian will tell you they are ashamed of it, please Nigerian will get to its developed stage soon. It's a gradual process.

Rossikk: Why can't this idio.t writer wait until the MASSIVE remodelling work ongoing at MMA is fully completed before ranting like a mad fool?

So this remodeling is also responsible for staff's rude behaviour and the charging of passengers for trolleys or the selling of toilet tissue to customers who wan wipe their yansh?

Thank you !!! To be honest, Nairaland will make any decent and upright Nigerian give up on Nigeria because of the silly argument some put up that show they completely miss the point. My issues with MMIA are not physical alone. The problems likely to cause the most offence are the treatment of travellers. You are hassled to bribe everything and everyone at every single corner of the airport. You must pay for a trolley. You will deal with very rude, obtrusive and highly unprofessional officials everywhere and much, much more.

To be honest, perhaps Nigeria deserves to be the way it is because it is its own people always vainly and egotistically defending the status quo when change can only come if we all agree that what obtains currently is unacceptable.

Dude are you for real? Do you pay for a trolley at Kotoka? Are you 'extorted' at every corner of Kotoka airport as is the case at MMIA? Do you want to compare the conduct of officials at KotoKa airport to MMIA? Look, open 419 even goes on at MMIA designed to snare travellers who do not know their rights and are easily intimidated.

A female custom officer at MMIA barked, yes she actually barked at me, as if I was a criminal, to "move to the side" just because I had a new printer I had bought for my dad. She tried her intimidating best to tell me I must pay her 'duty' on it because it is new. By the time I had given her a dressing down about 'personal goods allowance', paying VAT at source and how what she is doing is illegal she could only tell me "oga carry your wahala go". This semi-illiterate con women, a beneficiary of nepotism I am sure, had delayed and harassed me merely to attempt 419 extortion because she thought I was some naive foreigner she could intimidate and dupe !!!! Never, in my many travels have I encountered such disgraceful antic anywhere in the world !!!! Certainly not at Kotoka in Ghana.

Look, I can give many, many examples of what I have experienced at MMIA that has been , to date, a 'unique' experience for me. As an honest person , I believe that charity begins at home and I will not join anyone to lie or point fingers elsewhere so I can feel good about what is wrong with my own Nation. With MMIA, Nigeria is on another level of insanity and the fact people like you are here defending what should only be condemned means things will not change. You can be happy with and even defensive of how things are in your Country but you should refrain from trying to malign others to justify how you are comfortable with the deplorable status quo in Nigeria. Solutions will never come if Nigerians cannot accept that we have a problem and that we are at the very bottom and should thus only aspire to move upwards and not sideways or backwards.

Forget looks and aesthetics. It is what goes on in inside MMIA that is unacceptable and uniquely shameful to Nigeria.

Because unlike you, the writer knows that a pig will remain a pig even if you hang a garland of roses around its neck. The "re-modelled" MMIA will still be a beautiful giant mess after the refurbishment is concluded.

GBAM!. Thank you ojare my brother. I don't know whether the defenders here are exhibiting the Stockholm syndrome or they are in fact, a reflection of why Nigeria is the way it is.
