3. Officials asking for tips
The different officials tasked with the responsibility of ensuring the airport function without any hitches are the ones who use underhand ways to collect tips from travellers. While some greet you excessively, others ask you pointedly to offer them something.

Please change the No. 3 to "ambush by officials"...

The Murtala International Airport is ironically a model of Nigeria. corrupt incompetent illiterates everywhere.

... Osinbajo was there and he saw things for himself. Let's shout loud enough till extortion is stopped at our airports.

Dirty toilets and open roof

Yarnvibes:
The Lagos airport whether local or international is one of the busiest in Nigeria and arguably in Africa. The airport which is supposed to highlight Nigeria’s history, culture and tourism to both local and international travellers is a shadow of itself.

How? When you arrive Nigeria, there should be available information about our history, way of life, choice destinations to visit and best hotels to stay . Unfortunately nothing! The airport is a microcosm of the larger Nigerian society where government services are barely up to scratch.

Even with the concession of the airport, it hasn’t changed its fortunes. So, if you ply the Lagos airport often, Jumia Travel gathers some of the struggles you can readily relate with. This is to encourage the government to fix the Lagos airport to meet international standards because it is Nigeria’s window to the world.

1. Epileptic power supply
You can only imagine the disgust when you arrive in your country and everywhere is dark. It is a rude welcome to Nigeria. The reason for this? The power grid of the airport has shut down. Some people will not be surprised by this because beyond the airport, electricity is unstable. The intermittent power outage at the Lagos airport is the height of embarrassment to use torchlight to taxi your way through the airport. There should be nothing like power interruption at any airport in Nigeria let alone Lagos airport.

2. Fanning yourself
Due to poor ventilation and absence of enough air conditioners, you have to provide air by fanning yourself.

3. Officials asking for tips
The different officials tasked with the responsibility of ensuring the airport function without any hitches are the ones who use underhand ways to collect tips from travellers. While some greet you excessively, others ask you pointedly to offer them something.

4. Spending hours to be cleared
With recurring power outages, you have to spend hours being cleared by the different regulatory agencies at the airport. And there are many of them. Their services are very slow when there is power. You can only imagine how their services will look like when there is no power. It is worse when you still have to fan yourself through this harrowing ordeal.

5. Ambush by Taxi drivers
For travellers who have no one to pick them up at the airport, they are at the mercy of taxi drivers or individuals scavenging for persons who may need their services. As you are leaving the arrival lounge, their voices will be the next you hear. The disorderly manner they ambush travellers who have just arrived is the problem.

Lol. When I landed at MMIA after being away from Nigeria for an embarrassingly long time, I heard someone shouting, "my Governor!"

I turned and looked around. I had expected to see a sitting Nigerian governor, as we had just disembarked from the flight.

"Governor... Taxi? My taxi is parked outside and it has ac...."

It was then I realised he was referring to me.

Thanks. This incident happened a couple of years ago, when there were no Ubers. And no, I did not go with a taxi— I had former work colleagues ready there to pick me.

Lagos airport agony!

the only darkest airport I have see... no light inside airport too bad

Lagos International Airport is a total mess. At the arrival hall this January, an NDLEA agent who was going through one of my luggage blatantly demanded I give him one pair of jeans. I was stunned by his demand and asked him why he even thought I'd give him one of my jeans. I said a fat ''NO", shut my luggage and left.

shockwave:
And this made front page?!

And what's wrong with that?

Even when you go to markets sellers hail you so that you purchase their goods, it's strange to you because you don't know Nigerians as you are a stranger here

Haha! It was strange to me. Struggled a bit for the first few days, but much later, it was fine. I enjoyed my stay.

Do you use the airport at all? If you do you'd understand the airport is a total mess. From security personnels to trolley handlers to even cleaners all you hear from them is "Oga, wetin you get for us?" Should it be that way?

Of course I use the airport, you can pay and use the trolley yourself, you guys act like giving tips is just a Nigerian thing, well it's not, you give tips abroad too.
