Antoinne:
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.

nigerian posh! even mama ebuka who eats cucumber with Groundnut considers herself as posh

DICKtator:
Complimentary?


You haven't reached a managerial level/position for you to state this!!

The price for that meal is part(may be hidden) of that flight ticket

Any airline that doesn't offer such service would be cheaper and if they want to partially offer such,would be at the directive of the passenger and would cost more

There is nothing like complimentary, not with the overheads expenses that are been incurred on a regular basis!!!

As a matter of fact,they may even be cheating you and using your "cultured" attitude to break-even or profit more by passing off such "luxury"

When next you are traveling, eat on the plane,ask for more and take away. If others like, let them look, they aren't the ones who paid for your flight ticket and your bank account is still heavy.(I presume)
What do you mean by uncultured self?

Very subjective for you to say that considering how diverse culture is.

i agree its not complimentary, but are you then going to stuff your stomach (which could be unhealthy) and luggages with aircraft foods just to get your moneys worth? na you go tire, uncultured perhaps not, uncivil yes!

Just as expected, nothing works in nigeria even a locomotive

devour129:
av got little kids and I mostly use ba . When they don't eat their food I pack it in a pack I put their snack in n they eat it enroute home . I guess you have never flown out in your life that's why you don't know its only liquids and hot food that it not allowed .

yea i have never flown out, if you fly BA i suspect you must live in the UK, not that its any of your business but i was born in CHINGFORD east london, to be fair to you i do not have children so i would not have experienced what you elaborated

banttieman:
I just made my opinion known to him/her too. I'm not sure that is a problem.

By the way, it's an opinion is said once and move on. Saying some set of people are uncultured is a direct insult on them. If they choose to remain uncultured should it be his/her problem?

Not minding one's business cost one guy his life. Refer to sport betting death thread on FP.

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

devour129:
I take away food from any international flight I use n when I use the biz class lounge I pack all pack ables . Av got kids who won't eat in the blame n get hungry btw airport n home n it comes in handy . Now go and d.............e

RubbIsh! which international route? Allows you to do that?

Antoinne:
I understand I can't force my opinions on others. It just baffles me why people (especially Nigerians) should do this. It makes me ask if there's something wrong with the Nigerian psyche, hence the thread.
Most of all, it really amazes me that the generality of Nigerians believe this a 'normal' situation. Not one response in support! Smh.

oh! i am %200 in support, its Absolutely ignorant and uncivilised of any one who takes foods served on an airplane home

banttieman:
Pls and pls help yourself to live long by not worrying over other people and their ways. You may die soon if u persist.

chill! MaN! I Believe the guy is just highlighting his observation its also an opinion everyone is entitled to theirs

Antoinne:
No, you didn't really pay for it. At some point, Aero never used to serve food on airplanes and people still flew. This food is complimentary and not paid for.

Why not 'munch' it in the plane? Are you not 'settled in' in the plane? Or you feel people are watching you?

Cultured people don't take food out of airplane. Don't get influenced by the habit of taking food away from a party. It simply doesn't speak well of you. If anything, it suggests that you are too hungry and can't afford a meal whenever you want one.

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

Yea right! They will bribe their way out anyway and business goes on as usual

Ezennunu1 of Isolo indeed. Look most of those young
Ibo men in Lagos and elsewhere who are very
loud and build houses outside Iboland
have questionable wealth from methamphetamine drug trafficking and production right within residential areas such
as the guys of Ibo origin who were arrested
by the NDLEA between June 2011 and December 2012 in Satellite Town,
Iba New Site, Majek in Ibeju-Lekki LGA. 4 of those methamphetamine illegal factories were
sited within developed residential areas in
Lagos State, and only 1 illegal meth factory
was discovered at Nanka in Nnewi!


All these men were from Anambra State based
on NDLEA data! Infact one of them had a
methampethamine factory within his house
in Satellite Town and another underground
factory/crude laboratory in his home town
in Nanka in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Methamphetamine
production and the by-products causes CANCER
when these Brainless people pour the waste
into the ground for disposal thereby endangering
the lives of the people living in the immediate
environment of Iba, Satellite Town, Nanka and
other laboratory locations in Anambra, etc. The GROUND WATER becomes contaminated in
those areas with the waste that can cause
hallucinations/delusions/psychosis, weight loss,
etc.


Death penalty has to be introduced for this
kind of crime just like in Singapore, Malaysia,
S. Arabia, etc, because an NDLEA report that
I read 4 years ago indicated that Imo State was
experiencing an increasing usage of hard drugs
among the youth as a result of the tighter
security at the International Airports. Imo
state was said to be targeted because of
the high student population i.e., in Owerri.


Information available to me also shows that
over 90% of drug pushers arrested at MMIA
in Lagos State are of Ibo origin, with most
coming from Anambra. Those on death-row
abroad in especially Asian countries based on
the bi-annual report from the National Intelligence Agency [NIA] which is Nigeria's
equivalent of CIA, shows again than over 90%
are Ibo who claim to be doing Import-Export
as a cover.

Nigeria and Anambra most especially have
to wake up to solve this problem and major
stigma. I remember in 2009, a major newspaper
reported that Ohaneze Ndigbo had a meeting
to proffer solutions as to why young Ibos
like this 38-year-old criminal that has just
been arrested, constitute the majority of
drug-pushers, and other crimes across
Nigeria and abroad, but they STILL haven't
found a solution as a socio-cultural body.

I think from reading the articles of intelligent
Ibo Public Affairs analysts over the years
in the Sun Newspaper and other publications,
it all boils down to EXTREME GREED, and the
pressure from the hometowns and cultural
groups to acquire fast wealth by any means.

you talk too much! FYI there is no different between your paracetamol, phensic or panadol and methamphetamine , only that the Big dealers like the American, British and nigerian goverments want people to believe that its illegal, so they the goverments can control and sale it themselves as medicines you can buy from your chemists, if you must know Achohol is a bigger killer of humans, why is it not illegal? Because it creates a huge amount of wealth for the goverments

Nigerians with their mediocrity, why couldn't they do this online?

RockMaxi:
Campaign after election, return to do what??

one of the robbers forgot his silpas

Luxiana19:
Yet the bank was right in front of a police station..

am assuming the officers were on break at the time

IlekeHD:
Efforts to get Mr. Kenneth Nwosu, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) proved futile as calls put across to him were not replied.

as always, how the hell? Do this people get this jobs? If they are not always there when they are needed, why pay them?

bravesoul247:
sorry I'm deviating from the topic. I just checked ur profile now and I realised you are new on NL(if I'm not mistaking) and I also realised you are damn beautiful. Don't tell me thank u, pls, cos I know its a normal tin u hear everyday. I prefer u tell me thank you on bbm, ma pin is on ma signature. I know u might definatley not add me up cos of the normal female ego and there's no harm in taking risks. Buh if that's d case den u still are beautiful.

woman wrapper! We are supposed to be empathising for the op on his ghastly accident, instead you took the opportunity to chase after woman

greggles:
These people are really learning from us, I wrote about this in my frontpage article!

The process is slow and it seems the management is incompetent as compared with the implementation of the BVN, but it should be implemented by law so that we have a unique ID system in Nigeria.

With your National ID, you should qualify for certain incentives like loans, overdraft etc, it would be mandatorily needed by banks as soon as it is implemented, so that they will tie every person to their accounts nationwide. Banks will even stop asking for collateral for certain amounts of money because you can no longer run with their money and if you do, they already know where you went to because the system is also tied to your international passport, drivers license etc and once you leave the country, they know where you are and they will easily write to the host country that you're a fugitive

Also, once you're arrested by the police, the first thing they do is take your thumbprint and your details come up immediately, that offense is recorded and your crime history is easily available to law enforcement to track you and invite you for questioning when you are spotted within a location where a crime is committed, that's the system used abroad to draw up a list of suspects when a crime has no face on it

Also, before you rent a house, your landlord gives you a form and requests your Identity which he uses to run a background check with the authorities to know if you have outstanding criminal cases like child abuse (in case he has kids that could be vulnerable).
Before you get a job, get admission into school, run for a political appointment, get a loan from the bank or lending company etc, a bankground check is done with your identity

It has been long overdue in a country like Nigeria having serious security issues and abuse of office and power issues.

makes lot of sense, but what you are forgetting is that it will cost billions to implement

Thats not blood on the ground is it? The guy must have lost so much blood, see how they are grabing the poor guy like chicken.am assuming no first aid and hospital is 300 miles away plus you have to pay first prio to treatment

What the f....k? this sure us horrible were the heck! Are the paramedic or Ambulance?

Topkush:
Whose son is that? Mixed race? To nigeria? I don't understand

my son mixed race, his mother is white,i am nigerian by origin, you understand? He is going to nigeria to see his grandmother

og2711:
Don't let ignorance kill you. Use Google..

hey! Am just been sarcastic! and oh! DO not believe every thing you read on Google

bushdoc9919:
Meanwhile....you can get some help from this link below...

http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/travelers/drugs.html

brilliant! you ve been very helpful, credit to you once again

bushdoc9919:
Yes it would.

And yes....you can get proguanil (paludrine) from the counter.Cheaper here in Nigeria...don't try buying it outside.!

thanks again i ve been adviced by my doctor to get them vaccinated, but am not sure it would have a maximum effect as their medicines over here are usually mild, to be honest am very apprehensive over this malaria issue as this is the first time (only chance) am taking me child to nigeria as his mother refused me to take him on an earlier occasion because she was worried he may contact malaria

dapipson:
Poor doctors, common malaria they can't easily dictate . I thought it only exist in Nigeria . est in peace dear.

european Doctors are not able to detect malaria fast because malaria does not exist in europe they can only diagnose flu which is a common illness in europe but has almost the same symptoms

bushdoc9919:
Proguanil or doxycycline.

Plus....if you are a Nigerian, and you have been away for six months and above from Nigeria....on coming back, please take either drug for the duration of your stay in Nigeria.

thanks.will this drug be good for europeans too? because my wife and son (mixed raced) maybe going with me too to nigeria And i would assume i can get this meds behind the counter (i mean chemist) in nigeria and if i may ask how effective is it?

ZahraBuhari:
How did they know the mosquito is from Nigeria?

Was it wearing Nigerian jersey? Or did it speak yoruba or Igbo?

These people should stop spoiling our country's name and go find what killed this lady

apparently that particular malaria is Racist

obailala:
Malaria can be extremely deadly for foreigners who don't have the immunity. Even though we Africans have the immunity in our bodies, malaria still remains one of the deadliest killers in Africa.

Furthermore, unlike in Africa where you can easily get a malaria drug from a chemist, malaria drugs are not readily available in climes where malaria isn't a problem. As you can read from the report, the lady was misdiagnosed severally before she was eventually diagnosed for malaria (when it was already too late).

Absolutely!

bushdoc9919:
Malaria in non-immune people can be deadly.

For Turkish....and any foreign people.

This could have been prevented by taking a daily dose of preventive meds while in Nigeria.

please do you have any idea on what the preventive medicines are?

allycat:
Malaria is a deadly disease to people that do not have immunity. In children it is one of the top causes of death in the sub Saharan region because of their lack of immunity. The average adult Nigerian has been exposed and developed such immunity that's why it doesn't kill us so easily. Ask any Nigerian abroad who has been diagnosed with malaria especially in the UK and Europe,they are quarantined and treated as if they have a mild form of Ebola. Evenamongst pregnant adult Nigerian women malaria related deaths are not uncommon.

very true, had an encounter meself, luckily i made it, am worried though because am planing to take me son 3 years old mixed raced to nigeria this xmas this news have now got me even more worried

SemuhleB:
Those girls are coloured girls, only one is black am really surprised you cannot tell. I know the girl with the curly hair personally. I don't understand what the big deal is because coloured girls are still South African and are beautiful too.

really? Interesting, because i thought i saw two white girls, one mixed indian, one mixed white and a full black girl, i may be wrong though but the again am not SAn and oh! If i may ask what would one call you then?because it appears you look coloured too judging by your photo

Miaraka:
Fellow Africans, let's just celebrate our ancestors and be proud of ourselves because contrary to what we've been told by our colonisers and oppressors, our ancestors were the mothers of mathematics, civil engineering. astrology, etc. Bob Marley was right when he sang, "No matter where you come from, you're an African."
We were very dark when we came to SA thousands of years ago but climate and intermarriage changed our complexion.
That notwithstanding, complexion doeaasn't change the price of bread or translate to godliness. It's not the most important thing in the world or in bed. If you're interested in colour, just close your eyes and imagine how they would look like if they were black. The fact that a woman is light in complexion doesn't make her a better human being and more beautiful or pretty. What matters is her heart - whether or not she loves her family, is an African patriot and will do everything in her power to contribute to our African development and protect her dignity and the African people everywhere. The same goes for all of us. We must walk with our heads held high, knowing that mathematics and engineering was created by our ancestors.
By the way, I'm going to check my DNA and will report back. I'm light in complexion with a flat African nose and banana lips.
An Igbo man once saw me at the OR Tambo International Airport and said, "You look like our people." Maybe he saw my indigenous Yoruba lips or my Igbo complexion. I don't know but I said, "Ofcourse, I should look like your people. I'm African!"

very nicely put, i applaud your intelligence highly, i am also a light skinned black guy perhaps i should check my DNA too

14:
When i say sothos, i dont refer to people from lesotho alone, you are exposing yourself, told you you know little about SA, so it would be better to keep shut and teach us about nigerian tribes. Tswana, Pedi and southern sothos all fall under Sotho tribe. There four tribes in SA, Nguni, Sotho, venda and tsonga. So Sotho tribe i m refering to, majority of them are light skin and they are not mixed. As i said, weather plays major role.

Compare batswana in botswana and tswanas in south africa, tswanas in SA are lighter compare to their counter parts in botswana, because botswana has a hot weather, and they still have large population of san people compare with SA.

you may be right, because my ex SA girlfriend name katiwe she is light skin but she is not mixed raced or coloured as you guys call them
