The latest story of an airline discriminating against a black person took place last week and involved Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who called out Turkish Airlines for alleged discriminatory acts by failing to show any Nigerian movie during her 40-hour flight.

Last Wednesday, she posted on Instagram accusing the airline of unfairness against African travellers. She said, "Dear @turkisharlines, like many other Foreign companies, you might be discriminating against African Destinations and Travellers, and that needs to stop. The Obvious Lack of details or Respect shown towards African paying customers spilled to on ground staff relationship."

"As if my 40hrs Long flight was not enough, an unexplained hop in Uganda that wasn't in my booking almost ran me nuts. All Movies from Turkey, Asia, Bollywood, Middle East and, of course, Hollywood onboard. Not one Nollywood Movie! African Travellers Sometimes pay higher fees to other parts of the globe, so I wonder, Why Blatant Disrespect and Discrimination?"

Tell your country to float their national carrier too. With that, you can watch as many Nollywood movies as possible when on board.

I find it funny and a thing of pride that our yeyebrities watch Nigerian movies. I honestly assumed they acted in them and consumed Hollywood instead.

When Nigeria starts respecting itself, things would change for the better.
