Delay me on what ground, please? I am not carrying any kobo to bribe any official aside the one approved by the authority. If they try to delay me I will create scene with video evidence.

NONNYG:
Can we take this discussion to twitter? Let the international bodies see it.

I was also thinking it only happens in Nigeria until I flew through Douala, Cameroon. Same shit that goes on in MMIA happens there as well.

Those immigration officials especially at Lagos airport are good in extorting people ,especially if you have a virgin passport,.the first time I traveled,after stamping my passport the man refuse to return it to me instead he handed it over to one of his boys, who demanded 20k from me,after much argument he reduced it to 10k, since I did not have cash to give Him, I requested for his account number to transfer the money ,He was afraid but after consulting with his boss he later gave me an account number and i transferred the 10k to him before he returned my passport to me

YesWeCan11:


That one is a story for another day..
Arrogant nurses and doctors everywhere. On top their incompetence oo

cocolacec:


It is like gathering money for bandits so they dont attack your community.
Why cant Nigerian travvellers make a class action against Nigerian immigration service to pay compensation.?

my5andtom2:


If you have a virgin passport just hold like 15k or 20k in naira for settlement or else they will delay you and you might miss your flight without any form of compensation. Prevention is better than cure. My 2 cent

Just recently I watched a video of an American woman who officials at the Lagos airport attempted to extort in the guise that her covid 19 documentation was incomplete.

I have also heard how officials at the airports in Nigeria extort outbound travelers especially those with Virgin passports.

From customs to immigration, to NAHCO, to airline officials, to one agric something like that and the others, their main targets are usually the first time Travellers. Lagos airport is extremely notorious. To avoid their wahała, arrive at airport ahead of check-in, so you wouldn't be under pressure because you don't want to miss your flight, and part away with hard-earned money

This thread aims to expose the antics of corrupt airport officials and if possible report such incidences to the appropriate quarters.

Over to you guys, let the experience roll in.

Corruptions in all government agencies is very alarming
But a woman at Abeokuta Immigration Office made me ask myself if i was still in Nigeria she was really a God sent through my processing for my lost international passport all my efforts to appreciate her monetarily was politely declined as she continued telling not to bother myself.
Auntie Kemi na God go bless you for me
Thanks changing the World in your corner.

Those guys are been sacked on daily basis oooo but some know how to play that racketeering game... But the people that suffer this more are the passengers that wants to carry more bags ana pay less.

If there is a case of missing � na wahala..

Just get him name and send an official report

sirrotex:
I beg to disagree with this. If you have a virgin passport, ensure all your documents are intact and get to the airport very early. Ensure you have done a thorough research about your destination, Be confident in your self and resist any intimidation the airport officials. Where an official is being irrational ask to see the manager

sirrotex:
Well I don't have any problems with the discussion going to Twitter, however I have reservations about the international bodies seeing it. This is our mess and we should be ready to clean it up. Let the appropriate authorities see this

I don’t give a dime! Shishi! On what grounds naw? I don’t allow anyone assist me with anything. I carry all my luggage myself.

adonaimart:
You say "report those involved to the appropriate quarters"

You think say the appropriate quarters no know?

They are all eating fat from the system.

I love this thread and I pray it brings some sanity..

Because a thread like this can put pressure on government to act!!

NotoriousBiggyS:
The problem of Nigeria is not the politicians but government workers from the local down to the federal level employees need total purging

Pidaa:
mehn almost every body need to be sack in lagos International Airport. The moment I enter inside the Airport I was told I would be giving personal checking to delay me except I pay money. Now abeg dem recieve 1K. After that a woman came to meet me I should register my foodstuff with them. I later sneak and after that where I was going through clearance in Qatar airline I was told if I have passager locator form because that is a requirement to go to the UK and I show them in my phone. Them force me to go and photocopy it and I was charge 1k per copy. After the clearance I met the immigration guy to stamp my visa but he delay me because I pick a phone call in his presence which he later stamp. Now so to enter plane one stupid guy stop me and ask me for money that if I did not give him he would delay me. I just gave him all my naira because my flight would soon take off then just of a sudden to meet another set of people close to the plane door begging me money again. I just told them my naira is finish and I enter plane. when I landed at Qatar then I saw the difference between Nigeria and Qutar. mehn is not only Nigeria government that need to change their mentality but Nigeria citizens too

sochima1989:
Okay....
So I work at the airport as an airline staff and here is my advise..

1. For first time flyers.. There are certain routes known for illegal travel purposes.. Just have a clear purpose and complete travel documents if you must go there. For example, 50% of girls traveling to Dubai who can't define their purpose for travel are seen at self traffickers going to huarle(them no get legit hustle documents)

2. Know that any purpose for traveling have a supportive document.... At the boarding gate immigration will ask you.. Let's say you tell them you are going to pay your frnd a visit or you are a tourist.. You must know who you are visiting well or the city you are touring. It is better for you to pay and know these things here than shout here and get deported. Not everyone will ask you to pay sha b4 they school you.

3. If you use the wrong travel agent no how on how you must drop..
- you arrive late(90mins ) to departure... If you shout finish you will choose either to drop or pay to change your flight date
-You have an error on your documents accept your fate and correct it... You can fly another day because na begging dey start drop something

4. Avoid that act of "if I don't travel today I am. finished"

5. Lastly, you can't know the job more than the jobbers themselves... I mean travel rules and requirements change often.... So in a heated argument try and listen very well you will meet that good guy that won't rob you off your kobo.

The airport is not designed for you to tip officials....but if you come with a loophole the wrong guy will bill you.

Covid 19 has changed everything tho..
