Is this fear enough? See the quotes: Conference and business facilities There are restaurants, bars, banks, bureau de change and a duty free shop in the international terminal, as well as a post office and medical facilities. NOTE: pickpockets and confidence trickster, some posing as local immigration and other government officials, are common at Murtala Muhammed Airport. Security is not always satisfactory, so be vigilant. Car rental Avis (tel: 01 497 4420) and Hertz (tel: 01 320 5016) both have desks in the terminal. It is possible to hire a car from most of the big international hotels too. Please note that fuel shortages often occur in Nigeria, so ensure you have enough petrol to complete your journey. Roads are in poor condition. Be vigilant when travelling on major roads, as robberies can, and do, happen. Avoid travel outside cities after dark. Be vigilant when driving in traffic jams (‘go slows’): keep valuable out of sights, and keep doors and windows locked. http://www.emirates.com/ng/English/plan_book/essential_information/airports_worldwide/airport_details.aspx?airport=192945 |

Are they telling us that it is only Nigeria we experience this?.I was in south africa, the crime there is more 1 Like |

There is crime everywhere no doubt,but I would think that the reason why they put such quotes there is because Nigeria and its govt attitude at curbing crime and another anomalies is different from d rest. Their comment is sadly true. |

Is it only Emirates , go to any travel advisory website and the information is similar, Are they Lying ?? As much as I love Naija they are not lying People get robbed . I was robbed even though I only spent two weeks in Naija There is petrol scarcity , did Lagos not just have one the roads are bad 2 Likes |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by tpiah: 3:05pm On Jun 11, 2009 |
even Emirates? na wa. Nigerian companies should also start posting travel advisories on their own websites. but the Emirates warning isnt really too bad though, if that's all it is. It's not like they're lying and the language is very polite and official. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by Pittbaby(f): 3:09pm On Jun 11, 2009 |
Sadly on my companies Travel advisory, we are only rated as safer than countries at war , so leave Emirates o, they have a duty to inform their customers of the situation in the destination country |

@OP Why is the truth so hard to decipher? Did they lie? Everything you posted there is true so why should they hide that fact? Do you want them to say that Nigeria is paradise on earth? Get real. If Nigeria changes, the dirty detail will change too. shikena. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by Nobody: 4:40pm On Jun 14, 2009 |
jethrokay: the issue of fake officers is real. its happened to me in kano. and the worst thing about it is, the government knows about all this and does nothing arrest them. which means they are collaborating with them. why don't they post about other places. thats the image we've shown them. present a better image and things will change. if you were to travel somewhere, your government is duly obliged to let you know how things are done where ur going. |

They are not painting Nigerian bad in this regard, Nigeria did that to itself. |

just wondering, but i doubt ur indifferent. |

Are they telling us that it is only Nigeria we experience this?.I was in south africa, the crime there is more Well, Nigerians are there own greatest enemy. South Africa will never make noise about the crime in their country so the whole world will not make noise about it, but in Nigeria we are the first to announce any criminal act in our country to the whole world and they in turn "help" to paint us worst than we want to be painted. |

This is a sad truth. The good thing is dat Lagos has a governor thats working hard to change dis image but how far will he go? How much difference will one state make in a country's image? |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by joobreel(m): 3:04pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Emirates isnt lying, its just a bit exaggerated. its not that terrible in naija or is it |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by Meldrick(m): 3:06pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
No matter what is posted on their website, those greedy foreigners who have buisness in this country will still come. They can't take their eyes off the oil. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by naijacutee(f): 3:08pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Is there any statement there that is untrue? They are only trying to serve their customers well by providing accurate information. If the information provided is "painting Nigeria bad", then it is up to Nigerians to fix the problems. Unfortunately, this is one case where Nigerians cannot bribe their way out of the truth. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by naijacutee(f): 3:14pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
joobreel: Emirates has been merciful to Naija. We are that bad and probably even worse. They haven't warned foreigners to stay off public transport (especially in Lagos) because some robbers pose as passengers, and start robbing people of phones once the vehicle is in motion. They have also not mentioned that when withdrawing a huge sum of cash from the bank, some banks will insert fake notes into bundles of money, or even give you bundles with incomplete amounts. "Security is not always satisfactory, so be vigilant" is a nice way of saying that you can be robbed and shot in your car, on the road in some Nigerian cities. So abeg leave Emirates alone, they were kind in their messages. If they brought out the full gist, we will only hang our heads in shame. |

@Poster, Sentiments aside, are they not saying the truth ? If our so called useless government cannot put things right, then that should not deter foreign companies from alerting their customers of the situation here. Even you, poster, will tell you visiting relative the same thing. So, how much more foreigners.Please go get busy with other things and stop passing buck all in the name of someone telling you thenaked truth. Small time you guys will say you want to rebrand. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by shawn123: 3:22pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
without being biased, throwing sentiments away! They have posted the truth! Think about this? If you as a Nigerian lived in the U.S and your son, daughter or wife decides to visist Lagos (Naija) for the first time wouldnt you give such advices or even worse. The truth is the truth lets just face it and deal with it! |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by diehard1: 3:31pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Naija is exactly like they made it look. There is crime in every other country, the only difference is that it can happen here and nothing will happen. One white lady asked me the number to call in case of emergency. Am sure u can tell yourselves the truth about that if any exist and what will happen if police or whoever is called during robbery operation.  |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by Nobody: 3:44pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Sentiment aside, the tone in the warning is very polite and is not untrue. I would probably say the same when speaking about Nigeria. Nevertheless it is clear that what they intend to do is create awareness about potential problems that could arise and not that these issues were the norm. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by sesman(m): 3:47pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
ahonohai: Completely agree with this statement, its the truth, |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by lannre(m): 3:53pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
They are just formalising the truth |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by sashbaby(f): 4:04pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
na true talk no need shying away from the truth. |
| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by bigben3: 4:11pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
truth is bitter,can you fault any of their claims let's jointly work on improving ourselves instead of all this wrong sentiment,guess we can do better |

| Re: Emirates Airline Paints Nigeria Bad On Their Website by abhosts(m): 4:23pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Maybe the Poster wants Emirates to help with Dora's Re-branding Project. |
