icedbreez: I was appreciating this article until I saw who wrote it....psssss. Armchair critic and twitter celebrity Omojuwa... Makes money from criticism. Its a job 4him. #PaperChase.

gbokukueba: You guys have not seen anything yet... Last trip home 3 months ago I landed at bout 11 pm there was no power at the Airport there were 2 people holding torch lights 2 ends of the tunnel...

Dis Guy:

On a side note, I don't know why folks keep complaining about paying to use the trolley. All the airports I've used/passed through, I've always paid. How in the world would the trollies be maintained if there's no charge attached to it.
Let's be reasonable in our complaints pls.

all4naija: Please, I need images to ascertain facts! I am tired of reckless retorts by many posters here. I need proofs of the realities on ground.

Thank you.

all4naija: That airport is on the poor side of management and the infrastructure is too small for a country like Nigeria. I hope something is done to put in its stead a better international airport.

james_ibor: My bag has been opened and ransacked at heathrow several times and on p w occasion, the stench from my ogiri became another issue.

Negligible. Very negligible.
We are all sharing the monthly federal allocation of the national cake like almajiris.

Meanwhile when we had cash crops like cocoa in the west, cotton & groundnut in the north etc the federal government did NOT collect the revenue directly to share with the Niger Delta hence the gross under-development there until recently.

@ OP,

How many of us know people in our family, friends, acquaintances, mosque/church/shrine fellow congregant who RECEIVES and SPENDS money way beyond his salary and/or for doing next to nothing such as our numerous politicians and political office holders and jobbers

How many of such people have we ADVISED to work and earn their pay just as we do in our own places of work & business.
The MMIA is still part of our country, Nigeria the last time I checked so let's stop the pretense and hypocrisy.

UNLEASHED: MMIA is most probably the worst airport in Africa no contest. Nothing at all is right about the airport. From the very poor structural state it is to poor maintenance and mismanagement.
Couple of months ago when I visited Nigeria, I was ashamed to see the arrival lounge running on fan, the fans were even plugged to stabilisers and everywhere was hot, clumsy and smelly.
The officials don't want to do a single thing for you for free. They're rude to the extent you'll want to slap someone, you can't lodge a complaint or ask a polite question without being insulted.
Security officers indirectly beg for stuffs in your bag at Check-in.
Sometimes I wonder if it's the same airport that serves our governors, senators, ministers and president.
No matter how beautiful your house is, the entrance tells a lot.

Orlando Owoh:
There used to be four, but with that of Enugu, it is now five. They are Nnamdi Azikiwe, Abuja; Murtala Muhammed, Lagos; Aminu Kano, Kano; Port-Harcourt; and Akanu Ibiam, Enugu.

How good is your country's airport? You might say pretty good - or like one angry Nigerian you may give it the thumbs down. Japheth Omojuwa wrote a very critical article about Lagos airport, saying for a 'prestigious airport' it is ' badly managed' - his opinions sparked a huge backlash on Nigerian social media pages. Are African airports getting better - how is yours? Share your thoughts with us on BBC Newsday.

sCun: Then you are one of the mediocre people the writer talked about. Simple!

sCun: The country you want us to be like is a third world country by all international standards. The writer lamented the inabilty of Nigerians to strive for excellence, yet your ambition is for us to be like Ghana. Why not Norway, Sweden or even South Africa or Malaysia? By the way, you aren't the only one who has lived in Ghana, some of us know better.

Oga I feel your pain. But let us agree that ghananian society is much more sensible than ours.
Nigeria is so bad that improving to levels as is in Ghana would even in its mediocrity be a great achievement. We are struggling to discipline an aviation minister and Ghana just sacked a junior minister over a loose statement.

sCun: Can you tell me what Ghana's level is? For your information, the so called ''loose statement'' made by that minister will get her a sack under Jonathan. go and get the full details
