Dapo777: Hello OP, while you raised some valid point and others not so true (as they are fallaciously generalized), the part highlighted above is completely not true. I highlighted it so others will not read up your write-up and make same conclusions. Are you married and for how long? Is your marriage based on sex? Most times this sex thing is overrated.....and yes i know it plays a very good role in marriage, but its not number one. 6 Likes |

[b]Show down in plane…….. So the cabin crew went to inform their lead person who also looked at the luggage and insisted that according to flight regulations blab la bla…. So the “aluta guy” in trying to secure the attention of this young lady to tell her that the luggard would remain in the plane tapped her on the shoulder. Na so wahala burst. The lead cabin crew (this young, not so pretty thing of a lady) flared up. Shoooo. This made everyone flare up at the same time with verbal abuses, promises and body demonstrations like a major fight is about to begin. And the girl (lead cabin crew) insisted that the “aluta guy” apologized to her else the flight will not take off. This was just impossible. Strong arguments and possible persuasions to the cabin crew and pilot yielded no fruits for another 30min. Finally the pilot announced that due to present issues going on, the flight has been cancelled and all passengers should come down. I just laughed within me.” I manage enter plane and you say make I come down? Na mopol you go take remove my corpse from here after I do some major damages” was what came into my mind. I was ready to sleep in that plane till day break. A second announcement by the pilot was made, insisting on the first. Some less livered (about 8 to 10) people started coming down. I said in my mind “sabo! People that don’t know their rights”. The least this airline should do if they want to cancel this flight is to book a hotel for all of us with meals paid for and reschedule our flight. None of these were even thought of, not to even talk of promised by this wonderful airline. After some more arguments without the “aluta guy” apologizing to no bagger, we got the announcement that we will be taking off shortly. This was about midnight. The plane took off shortly and we landed in PH at about 1am. I must confess the flight itself was very smooth, defying the fears of most superstitious people that the earlier arguments in the plane could be a sign of bad thing to happen. I came down. Once I reached the area where is was to pick my luggage, I heard another announcement by the port Harcourt “phone lady” that all passengers going to Abuja with Arik should start boarding. I thought to myself “another gbege in the making”. Which way Nigeria? How long will this continue? [/b] |

Finally we all boarded the plane. All were seated and buckled up. Cabin crew started making the checks on passengers prior to take off. Suddenly a cabin crew spotted a bag under the seat of a passenger. He asked her to the bag out and for so it could be put in the “boot” of the plane. She refused and instead requested that the bag be put in luggage compartment in the plane. The cabin crew refused insisting that all compartments were filled (which later was discovered not to be the case). This was the genesis of another rampage of already angry passengers. |

[b]Enters “soooolidarity foreverrrrr” 21:20 to 22:15 – Aggrieved Passengers “gingerred” by a vocal lady decide to storm the office of Arik manager, calling for more passengers to follow in order to make an effective entrance. I thank God I did not go because I may have still been Abuja by now settling with police probably. From the stories I heard and the boiling anger in my chest, I would have given that manager the beating of his life upon first encounter, not minding who was there. As I heard, when he was approached by the passengers, he had this “I don’t care” kind of decorum about him, still facing his computer as people voiced their complains. He was reported to say if we are not happy about anything, we should make a complaint to NCAA. No heartfelt apology. I don’t even remember anyone saying he explained why the flight was delayed. What impetus?? A particular passenger I remembered vividly because of this and more encounters to come wanted to lead a “revolution” as it were. He initially was planning to even cause commotion on the boarding of Aero contractors flight but was calmed down as that was a different contractor. Everyone was boiling at this point. But shortly, the “phonee” lady informed us that there were two Arik flights from Lagos to land at 21:55 and 22:10. Was it because we went on rampage? Or they actually planned this before now. I learnt that if not for the fact that there were security guys around him, he would have been lynched. Any way shaa, those that were at the manager’s office would tell more of their encounter. 22:15 to 22:45 – Some persons were taking pictures and making videos of the commotion that has ensued in the waiting lounge. Boarding announcement was by “phonee” lady for Arik flights to PH and Lagos, of course no apologies or reasons for flight delay received. Angry passengers are now passing through the gate to enter the plane. One monkey (in typical naija accent) wanted to start checking our ticket at the gate, but he was quickly put down by the angry passengers. I love naija people shaa. Anger was turned to jokes as we cracked jokes in the bus which conveyed us to the plane. The “aluta guy” as I choose to call him, who is more or less like our leader made a call back to his family to say “we are boarding now”. Some on close to him reminded him that we have only boarded the bus o and not the plane so he does not pass the wrong information to his family because at this time no one was sure of anything any longer. Maybe we may not board the plane at the end. Part one has ended. A more interesting part two encounter in the plane to commence………[/b] 1 Like |

[b]I will try to be a short as possible as there is so much to tell. 16:45 – No call for my flight to PH. Some other flights have been delayed by 1-3hrs and the “phonee” lady told us so with any reason for the delays. I thought to myself “I dey get phobia for local flights, now flying at night come dey join the matter. Anyway shaa even if I reach PH like 7pm when its dark, as long as the flight is safe, no wahala with the delay”. Waited some more and grabbed some drink, water and meat pie sold at exorbitant rates to quell my scorching hunger before I die. 17:05 or so – “Phonee” lady said our flight has been delayed to 18:30, of course without a reason. “Ah, thanks to God” I retorted in my mind. “PH here is come”. 18:15 – Some talks amongst passengers that Our beloved president is the cause of the delay. He travelled to PH and Bayelsa for campaign and they had to delay some flights “for the passage of number one citizen of Niaja” 18:45 to 21:20 – President never still return finish? Besides “phonee” lady has said nothing more about my flight. Patience turned to endurance and endurance turned to long suffering. No one was telling us anything. Am I sure I will still fly back to PH today? What is wrong with the planes. Hope wahala no go dey when we finally enter and fly o (God forbid bad thing). Many smiling faces have started to rumple. Most if not all other delayed flights have gone except for Arik to PH and Lagos. Aero Contractors delayed flight is scheduled to load anytime. Agitations here and there. Minor arguments and counter arguments amongst passengers with occasional burst of laughter (typical Nigerians). I am now angry with myself and Arik and the whole scenario playing out. Why did I not just dash them the money for the first flight and drive down to Abuja. By now I should have been back to PH and in bed. I felt like eating someone. …….show down about to start….[/b] |

[b]“Phew!, Thank God for safe journey”, I gasped. Some light turbulence upon decent to NAIA, Abuja. Water served with cup cake in flight at 33,000ft above sea level. Perfectly normal local flight. Perfect to me (even though I had some reservations) but I guess not to others who may have been pissed off before the flight ( I recall an argument over a simple issue by a passenger refusing to show his ID card before board, having shown it at check in, etc). I guess he was for the 9:00am flight and was showing a bit aggression due to his flight delay, his only means of registering his dissatisfaction, which I would later learn that no one really cares about. So I was done with the stress of my business in Abuja and arrived the airport somewhat very early and sweaty all over (to my pants). I arrived by 2pm so I could check in quickly (possibly secure the front row seat in economy) and relax before my flight by 5pm. As considered normal, the airport was small, people everywhere, ticketing office hot, no chairs to sit on, PA system not audible (meanwhile the lady making announcement was speaking “phonee” ). I obtained my ticket and checked in. So finally some chairs I could rest my tired asss on in the checked-in passengers lodge. I sat down and thoughts ran through my mind. How will the return flight be? Hope it will be smooth like the first one? Ok once I reach, first thing is to work on my laptop that is giving issues, probably check the RAM if ok. I thought or many other tasks i needed to do once in PH but honestly I never thought that what happened would happen even before the flight. So the long wait for the Flight at 5pm started……….[/b] 1 Like |

[b]Coming to the crux of the matter, I planned a trip from PH to Abuja on Thursday 05 with an expectation to be back next day after concluding my business in the FCT. I had already booked a flight for about 12pm on Thursday and thought maybe it will be better to drive rather than fly, since I am becoming more uncomfortable with local flights (and especially as elections are around the corner). But of course cancelling the flight at this time could be a long story. So I thought I should just “gather liver” for the the trip to and fro. Thus a made a second booking for my return on Friday 06 by for about 17:00hrs. Going to Abuja was not much of an ordeal for me so I cannot say much on it. But this was not the case for other passengers that I learnt were scheduled to fly earlier at about 9am. As it turned out, they did not fly as expected. Both their flight and ours were combined and took off from PH at about 12:40pm. …to be continued…..[/b] |

Of recent actually, I have been gradually developing strong phobia for local airlines transport. I usually feel very comfortable on international flights (that I sleep most of the times during the flight) but this is the direct opposite with the local flights. My heart beat normally increases from take-off till touch down before going back to normal. I increasingly feel uncomfortable and of course cannot shut my eyes throughout the flight no matter how exhausted I am. This may not be unconnected with my fears of many of them cutting corners in service or maintenance of air crafts, suspected (most times with evidence) poor culture towards safety and even interpersonal relationship with customers (which I think was the main cause of the rancour of this trip) 1 Like |

I have read quite some stories about the ordeal of passengers on local flights (especially with Arik). I have experienced some of those ordeal but none can be compared to what happened last night on my trip back from Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja to Port Harcourt Int’l Airport. ...to be continued |

playboy19: My dear friend, please look for another example to qualify Jesus feeding thousands, thus proving he was rich. As I recall from the same bible reference, he did not give disciples money to buy the fish and bread. He performed a miracle for thousands to eat and get satisfied from five loaves of bread and two fishes. Stop teaching half truths. Its more harmful than lies. Of course you leanrt same from your pastors. 1 Like |

OP, advice 1: ZIP UP. Whatever you do, do not have sex with her or any other on you are dating for that matter until marriage. But I smell a rat. And that is you already have in your subconcious to do just exactly that in your next date. Location has been planned perfectly (your house). Timing also has already be plotted out (when no one will be around). But I urge you again to ZIP UP and avoid the temptation. By the time you forgo this advice, your eyes will be clearly opened after the act has been committed. Secondly if you by any chance are taking this relationship seriously, then you need to do a rethink of all possible consequences of it. Yes it is the girl you are involved with as many people will choose to say. But remember she did not bring herself into this world. Neither did she bring herself up from birth till now. The parents (and or course especially the father) have had a good influence in her upbringing both physically and spiritually. So if you have considered everything there is to consider and have decided you want to plunge yourself into this well, good luck. Be ready for any challenge for the sake of love ( which is highly overrated by many). 3 Likes |

If i have to change completely SUV radio, then i will decline the purchase. I know it came with the reverse camera, but for some reason, it does not work.
