There are many issues and screw-ups we experience while travelling in Nigeria and we say "I don't blame you. I blame the people running this country". Or "if I was in Europe, this kind of thing can never happen".

But have stuff like that happened to you outside Nigeria by non-nigerians? By Europeans or Americans? Share.

I'll start.

I was on a connecting flight from Istanbul to Tel Aviv and I was flying with Turkish Airlines. I must admit, they have lovely planes. In flight entertainment and food is great. At the airport in Istanbul, I need to take a leak. Maaan, if you see the toilets there that day! Flooded floors, muddy flooded floors. The toilets had a very very bad smell. I walked in and took off! Tried another and same thing!! I mean I expect to see bad toilets at MMIA in Lagos and I'm always pleased when I don't. But this one was just terrible!!! Meeen, I hold my piss

I decided to use the toilet on the plane. So we boarded and I went to the toilet after holding my full bladder for about 2 hours. I tried to use the toilet and the flight attendant said it was closed until airborne. I thought "ok. At least 30 minutes max". What didn't kill me in 2 hours won't kill me in 2hrs 30mins. We took off about 30 mins later and then it happened.

If you see turbulence! The plane was shaking like no man's business. Pilot then anounced that due to turbulence, every one should remain seated with seat belts on. Ol' boy, after almoat 30 mins of seating and my bladder moving into the region of my ears ehn? The way I was praying, you would think the plane wanted to crash!! Just when I was about to jump up and kick the toilet door down, turbulence or no turbulence, the seat belt lights went off. If you see the way I charged into the toilet you would think I was purging.

If it was Arik that did this to me, I would have said it's not their fault. After all, Nigerians don't care about you once they take your money. But this was abroad.

Anyone else go through stuff like this?
