Antoinne,

You keep saying people that take out food are hungry. SO?
Since when is it a sin to be hungry? Since when is it "uncultured" to be hungry?

So I took food out of a plane because I could not afford to buy one where I'm heading. So freaking what? Is it a crime to be poor?

You point at other people's struggles and ridicule it, not because they hurt someone but because they are trying to feed? I honestly think that a mentality like yours is true poverty.

Poverty is no excuse for lack of refinement. Dignity, dignity please.

I don't have time to be enlightening you jare, I only responded cos you were to mumuish to be ignored.

Well then...

stpat1:


Oga go and die jare, You are pissing me off cos you have no point and you're not making sense. What is special about what is served on board that one must eat it there? Is it the small cup cake and 10cl juice that is served that you must eat? I just take mine out of the pack and give it to a kid. So does that paint a picture that I cant afford it?

If you thought well before creating the thread, you should understand that the value of what is served on board is in no way close to the ticket fare. I wonder what you are even feeling like.

Do you have a problem with taking your kid out to a nice restaurant, but must serve him or her with stale and unhealthy airplane food?

leahcimzil:

damn, yu r not just all shades of ignorant,you r all shades of re-tarded.

Politeness clearly isn't one of your strongest points.

angieberry:
Are you joking?? He was "just unfortunate" to make Jews his victims? Do you know how insensitive your post sounds? You're making it sound like wiping off 6 million people is not really a big deal, only that the affected people used their influence and power to make him look like a bad guy! I only agree with your point that the 20th century has produced its own fair share of loathesome leaders, you didn't have to back up your point with this heartless and careless post!

Oh Christ! What first thing do you Nigerians know about history!? Phew!
History is plain and unapologetic, so yes, i don't know how insensitive the post sounds and.... I don't care!
Second, wiping off 6 million people is a big deal. But do you know how many the Belgian King, Leopold, wiped off? I guess you don't. Do you know how many Mao wiped off? I bet you don't. Do you know how many died in the early 20th century Namibian genocide supervised by an earlier German government? I'm sure you don't. Yet the persons involved in these instances don't equal an Hitler. You wanna know why? Cos the voice of those affected have been drowned out and in the case of King Leopold mainly because those involved have no media pressing their case before the world.

When You Kill 10 Million Africans You Aren’t Called ‘hitler’

You see, the problem with peeps like you is that you can't wash off that inundation which has seen you color Hitler with evil. An inundation greatly festered by biased western thinking and a now powerful Israel state. That's okay. It's just in character.

Hitler may have indeed been evil. But he was no less evil than Mao and so many other leaders of history. They were all despots who perpetrated genocide on an extreme stage. Grow your thinking and resist the fettering of baseless propaganda.

DICKtator:


You are here again spewing trash and trying to sound intellectual!!.

Get your facts right

Hitler(even though he was an Austrian) attacked people that were not from his country Germany while the others you listed inflicted /committed atrocities against their own people(Stalin was from Georgia, which was part of USSR then!).
Don't hold fort for someone most historians(dead and living) condemned for his atrocities against mankind!!!



On the sunny side, when they say you should take away food from the plane, you wouldn't,now look at how you're reasoning!!!

Do you even know what you are talking about? I'd give you a lesson in history if you want one. Clearly you don't question the knowledge you get fed and simply swallow everything hook, line and sinker.
What do you mean Hitler attacked "people that were not from his country"? What sort of reasoning is that? Is that all why you consider him a despot? Not because he slaughtered Jews in their millions? So, if someone committed atrocities against his own people like Stalin, that makes it justified? You need a check on your reasoning.

All i put forward is that, history has made one despot appear more evil than the others. Hitler in this case the victim. Of course, what he did is inexcusable. However, it's no different from what Stalin or Mao did and they should all get equal treatment from historians. Yet, Mao is still a hero in modern China. So is Genghis Khan in southern and eastern Asia, even with his history of genocidal terror well documented.

Clearly you don't know the first thing about history. If you knew, you'd understand that it's not all in the eyes of the beholder.

After taking a survey of opinions it's just not so surprising this is what we have here. I could make a list of what you guys are most surely to find 'normal', even though the larger world considers it unrefined. It's just so in the thinking after all...

MsZeezah:
Antoinne,

Please stop making a fool of yourself by trying so hard to be a definition of your own version of "cultured".

People take food out of airplanes, no biggie. Personally, I won't because I haven't been on an airline that serves Nigerian food and I am not a fan of western food. But I will damn right takes snacks (Pretzels, Almonds, Pistasios) out of a plane.

And FYI: lots of white people do too! Or are they not the definition of cultured to you? People like you are the ones who worship anything western forgetting they're are the nastiest of nasty. Trying to act more western than the westerners. Boo!

I paid for it and imma take it out. And did I hear you say international flights or even airlines don't allow you take food past security? We have taken Jollof Rice past security before and we even told them we had cooked food. So far it isn't liquid, you're good.

Overall, you're plenty shades of ignorant and uncultured. And should I add that you sound exactly like a wannabe who just started flying on airplanes with little or no exposure. You're trying too hard Hun, bring it down a notch and maybe...just maybe it wouldn't look so much like a struggle. Laters

I know your type. The ones who get called aside by security and have to entertain a barrage of questions on all sorts of weird and unsavory combos they carry on their luggage from Nigeria. It's all in the thinking. Unsurprising.

RentedReality:


I gave my previous comment a thought while munching my way to the arrivals. I retract that comment. Yeah, I said it.

Too many people bashing your opinion here, I can't subscribe to that.

My ex also had "Posh Syndrome" so I can identify.

Had to teach her how to eat pounded yam with her hands, price a black cab, choose friends based on their post code (SW 12), stay away from Harrods, introduced her to TK Maxx, fly Ryanair, test drive a Ferrari with your student I.D, tip a Michellin star Chef, visit Peckham and not get robbed.

Feel me yet? I doubt.

Not yet. I'm still looking for the sense in the post... with a microscope.

GreenWhiteGreen:
Exactly. She's trying to be sophisticated. Who cares ? You will be so disappointed when you see the picture of people who talk like this.

Why are you so obsessed with "pictures of people like this"? Are you looking for company or what?

It really is just about the flourishing myth around this guy than it is about what he actually did. Hitler was no less a despicable leader than many other leaders of the 20th century; Mao, Ataturk and Stalin were all to varying degrees genocidal despots. Hitler was just unfortunate to have made one of the world's most powerful races his victims. And it just so followed that they, with their huge media empire, have made him into the world's biggest scapegoat.

Don't be ignorant, he isn't a devil.

sleek82:
please stop using words you clearly dont understand....whats typical in this? You are only using your point based on someone flying on a local flight and ofcourse going home after the flight or going to a hotel....pls think of international flights and pple having stopovers

and there are no restaurants or imbiss at the airport where you can settle to.a good meal during your stopover?

Good point. This has been exhaustively discussed on quora with many people giving real life examples. First class students don't necessarily become first class persons. If anything, their ability limits them. Daring, courage and ambition are not some of the attributes of most first class graduates. Caution rules their life and we should know that with caution there's very little one can achieve.

Rapbender:

they're Yoruba girls. they think it's owambe

Zelinjo:
@antoinne, it's amusing to see someone so confident in their ignorance.

Nothing is free.

If you know anything about accounting or business, you would know that before a price is set, a margin has to be agreed upon after taking into consideration all costs.

All costs including the one you're ignorantly calling free. Meaning that if you remove the cost of food, it will result in either higher margin and profits for the company or a reduced ticket price for you.

You sound more local and ignorant than the people you're insulting .

It's not only free. Free ko. Free ni.

You clearly don't understand my points, so I'll pass.

sleek82:
please keep quiet if you dont have a constructive argument to put forth...dont come here in the name of copying a white man and show how naive you are....if food is served in a 'takeaway pack' it means you have the option of taking it away if you want and im sure you understand anybody and 'everybody' boarding a flight should av atleast paid a token for the flight and ofcourse serving a meal means all passengers are entitled to the meal. I have seen a white lady take her food off a flight...would you say shes uncultured too? Mschew Cultured man whey no sabi d mean of takeaway packs

So typical...

RentedReality:


Well well, what do we have here.

Kids, here's a proper example of a cultured, well mannered, blue eyed sophisticat who eats birdsized food portions and sh*ts rainbows. Truth is Antoine, you have a serious complex problem going on. Only people with low esteem issues will always want to hold themselves to the standard of others.

You keep mouthing on about being cultured, are you more cultured than Queen and her royal family? How many times do you see them on Tv trying to act normal like the rest of us?

Respect yourself and the decision of others, no one made you a judge of what's cultured or not. Talking like you some high flyer or something. It's the pretentious types that really take the piss.

Guess what, I'm on my way to the airport and I'm making sure to come off that plane with packs of takeaways. My security guys picking me up will appreciate that. But I guess they'll be types like yours judging me when I come off.

Enjoy. Don't forget to stuff your stomach while at it.

ideylaff:


I didn't attack you dear, was just stating the obvious

I've flown to most parts of the world, mixed from continent to continent my dear

I'm just bn frank, there is nothing wrong with it

My flight from Nakata Airport , Tokyo 5 days ago , as I we were getting ready to land , the air hostess in my cabin, said to me,

Mr ...... I know you have kids ( as we interacted a lot on the flight heading to London) please have these bag of biscuits , and almonds for the kids, it's going to be wasted, I replied I know cos I do supply of airline food as well

I said I don't feel like carrying anything as I was tired, she went away, packed it into the Airlines Duty free bag and insisted I take it home and give the kids, when I got home, I den even realised she packed sandwiches as well

I repeat my dear, it's a choice thing and not an uncultured thing

Yes I know some people act bush on flights agreed especially the greedy ones who keep asking for 3 to 4 portions of food southern an take it away. That is uncultured in my books

I fly across the Atlantic @ least 4 to 6. Times in a month And I have dined and wined with royalty at thebhighestblevelnand bn with cultured and extra posh well brought up people


It's not wrong dear, not trying to force my opinion on you, but your post seems just out of sync and concluding that it's uncultured is just not the way to drive home your message love

Better way to put it is, I don't do it cos I don't like it , simple

I bn flying first or business class for the last 25 years and trust me, I see people in my cabin take home food big time

I understand your point. You may think it's not unrefined. But If I were in a flight with a business partner and he proceeded to take airplane food with him as he disembarked the aircraft, I don't think I'd still retain respect for such person. It's just so distasteful.

LadyBoss1:
I take everything hehehe
The lil pillow
That bag that has toothbrush , tooth paste etc .. Infant i take extra snacks self.. Those mini can drink i take that one tooo, the mini butter self i take



Y


I paid for it simple

Typical...

Kimeto:

What's the difference? I paid for my food in both instances didn't I?

There's a world of difference. First, most airplane foods on local flights are complimentary, which means you really didn't pay for it. They just serve to make the flight attractive. Second, airplane food is not such that you can take it away. The snack most Nigerians take away have been subjected to varying degrees of pressure and temperature through the chains of cooking, processing, packaging and storage. They are mostly suitable to eat right there and then in the aircraft. It could in fact be unhealthy to take them home or eat them at any other time.
Finally, you go to a restaurant to actually eat. So it makes sense to want to take it home. You don't board a plane because you want to eat. Why then take it home?

Kimeto:

It's not even a Nigerian thing at all. They do it where I am sef even in restaurants...you can't finish your food? Get it to go. It's not even that serious. No be your own money?

To go in a restaurant is understandable. A plane however is not a restaurant.

ideylaff:


This is a non issue, I'm posh to the brim and proper upper class with education and manners to match it

There is nothing wrong with taking food away from the plane as long as it's in original package.

The airlines bin food they fly with that is left over period

I run a an arm of a business that supplies pilots and logistics to 3 world major airlines, food supply is included

By law no food must be returned or re served after Fligh has bn completed

Please allow the people eat the food as take away

I repeat , it's not wrong ,period

It's surprising to hear this. I guess your thoughts and actions aren't so far from the generality of the many unrefined Nigerians, upper class you may be.

otiigba1:
yes you may be right, but if every one should mind their businesses were will that leave us as humans? Should we also let atrocities (not in this case) go too? For the sake of minding ones business

good point!

misspicy:

you don't need to exchange words with me...u shuld correct ur ways.
and i can't ever be polite to anyone who tinks feeding dogs and fishes food meant for God's images who badly needs it is the best tin to do with take away food.

So typical. Christians and their hypocrisy. You've called me names because you think a crusade is calling. Backing up your point with your "God's image"... That's just fine. I bet your bible encourages you to do exactly that.
Anyways, I don't know which parties you attend. For the parties or gatherings I've been to, excess food is processed and served to animals. People can survive alright as they've been doing. Don't encourage a begging mentality by championing "donating" leftovers. Leftovers are leftovers, not proper meals. Instead, invite these people to that party and serve them as you would every other guest.

otiigba1:
Absolutely! nigerians and mediocrity perhaps its to show people that they just got of the plane, if one is travelling to europe or America its a no no any food served on board an aircraft must be consumed before landing

Exactly! You couldn't have said it any better.

misspicy:

you are really a wasteful being or a spoilt brat to type that trash above.
Do u knw that millions of naigerian a
go arnd daily without any food to eat? u foolishly suggest that food should be processed and thrown to dogs and fishes when millions of God's image are out der wishing for that food....
You are an animal in human clothing,you are worst than Adolf Hitler. werey.

All this runs girls wastig away their life sef.mumu otondo.

I see politeness isn't one of your strongest points. I won't exchange words with you. I'd only encourage you to desist from being wasteful.

chubbyswit:
antionne i thnk u're one of the reasons the white see blacks as inferior. Your so called cultured mombo jombo is irritating, plz can you define culture abi cultured?

With the trash and ignorance you guys continually spill here, it's hard to see a respectable future for the black race in the short term. In the long term, hopefully better prospects.
Is it lack that encourages taking a mere 500ngn meal off the plane? Or is it just the greedy wish to want to consume every bit of the money you paid for the flight? When you continue to do things like this, how do you expect your children to learn class and taste?

damiso:


I cant stand those too but some people are wombiliki wombia and can chop anything choppable . I think the argument should have been more on the heath issues that could be associated with it rather than the issue of being 'cultured' or not.

Our standards on what count as cultured really really varies. We had one long drawn out argument on family section on whether it was bad manners to cook in the kitchen of someone you met the night before and I thought it was rude. Loads of people did not see anything wrong with it. I hold myself to that standard but I learnt that day 'manners' 'etiquette' and 'cultured' are very varied and subjective things that mean different things to different people.

I wont take airline food off the plane but I wont call people who might 'uncultured'.

Yes, matters of etiquette and manners are not explicit black and white. Still, there are things that are just downright inappropriate. Cooking in someone's kitchen you just met the night before is. So is taking food out of an airplane. There are health risks associated with both (how could you know if the gas cooker, for example, had an unusual safety setting to it that must be known before use?). In the end, it really is just ignorance anyways. And who better to wallow in their ignorance than our good old Nigerian fellas.

damiso:


Don't worry we are all ok

I'd hope so.

damiso:
This OP is really vexing o

My mum even uses them as 'greeting snacks' for the kids when we go to pick her up My daughter sef will ask 'grandma is there no chaese and crackers in your bag'

As an aside though some Airline food is really gross e.g Iberia or whatever they are called these days

Your mum is doing her kids a great disfavour by handing them shitty airplane food. She needs to watch it.

SammyO4real:


Oui, oui, vous etes tres bon dan la langue.

Oui, je me débrouille

Moana:


When i have braais and game nights with my friends i always ask them to take the left-overs with if they like its something i was never bothered by. Its put there for them to eat in the first place


shitty services can only come from shitty airlines. Every other airline that i know tries to make amends when customers arent satisfied by service delivery.

Well then...
