No be today.....
Nothing will ever change until the leaders change.
Person dey collect 500m for just sitting and doing nothing all in the name of representing while the other will stand at the airport for hours watching as the children and families of the same Honourable move in private jets.. Nigeria's problem is beyond prayers.

This isn't about leadership. Nothing concern leaders here. We, Nigerians need to change.

Apparently, we are the ones that later becomes a leader

Waoh. Reading the comments here are truly disgusting yet eye-opening at same time.

CrownOfClay724:
Way to go.

Until actions like this are taken to deter further occurrence, extortion will never end in Nigeria.

They will reinstall him if he happens to be oga boy. It's long they have been doing it and it happens in all sectors in Nigeria. So corrupt

The leaders will never change until the citizens change. It is the citizens that make the leaders not the other way round.

MemoriesAndMe:
Lol, I wish I can do same. Lived in the US for about 20 years now and can't really act "proper Nigerian" on them like that...lol

Lol... na why dem dey target you. You dey smell foriegn foriegn.

Once had a stint where I had to observe folks coming thru and it's quite interesting how much about individuals you can pick up by just observing them.

Once they open the checked-in bag and see Nigerian food stuffs inside know this one na bad market. When they ask and one uses phrases like 'baba nothing dey ooo with' 'me wey just complete my ticket money' or 'all my cash don finish' sometimes I leave 50 and 100 naira notes visible in my wallet so once dem see am, they know say this one no dey gree.

Globad:
Does this justify corruption, stealing and other crimes?

Meanwhile, that practice started looooooong ago. So, drop that argument

I am not saying it is right, but I see myself always dropping for those people at the airport......... Nigeria, is a tough country to survive in (nah where you dey work, you go chop)........😂😜

AleAirHub:
Oh wow, I used to tip those guys when I first started flying, but not anymore. One of them tried it with me a few days ago, and you should have seen the look I gave that crook.

I wish you safe trip as you continue to fly and I use this as a medium to pray for my first time to come through as well (amen)

Please stop this crass about leaders this and leaders that, the citizens as in individual have a lot to do likewise. It's only an irresponsible person that shift blame for every deed done by him/her. Do you know that most Naija do same outside the shore of this country? If u are outside Naija, a fellow Nigerian will demand for some Pound or Dollar before they render u help, is the leader outside too that causes that.

To be precise, a guy among Naija in UK on Twitter posted he needed a job with NHS a fellow Naija asked him to pay 4500 pound so he can assist, a job that is free of charge and offer cos.

The fellow screamed, and decided to take the bull by the horn, he did some research and applied for the job and later posted a video free of charge for Naija in UK who is interested in NHS to use to get job without demanding that is humanity.
That is a case of two Nigerians, while one decided to see every avenue as a means to take from fellow Naija, the second person did it with intention to help. Today, the man video is viral and been use by most people looking for jobs under NHS.
Until we stop this mentality of pointing accusing fingers to our leaders and exempt ourselves from the ills igoing on in the country believe me Nigeria won't get better.
Of recent, there's #Endbadgovernance, and yet some people are stealing furniture and some other gadgets. Please, what is the difference between the big thieves and the smaller ones, to me it's just time and opportunity.

That's mini Nigeria thing. It mirrors what happen at almost all offices in Nigeria. The country is irredeemable

Just unfortunate how these guys keep disgracing Nigeria. My first time in South Africa Airport, I kept wondering how Nigeria is seen as the giant of Africa. So much decorum in that airport but returning back to Nigeria, it was just the opposite. Beggars everywhere.....

The Naigerian leaders or politicians are not the problem, the problem are Naigerians! The same Naigerians accussing politicians of corruption are corrupt themselves by enabling their politicians in with their corrupt dealings.

There was no need to record, post the video and get him sacked, all you had to do was say No, i have no money to give, afterall he wasn't holding you hostage, you could just ignored him and kept walking away. getting him sacked would not solve the problem, a lot of them do it, even the cleaners at the Lagos airport, one male cleaner even followed me into the toilet to beg me for money. I just shoved him outta the toilet and told him to go away! He did.

Many of them do it, sometimes i just tell em, i am a student i have no money to give. They don't force or hold me hostage.

Correct, the leaders are chosen from the same bunch of citizens.

I feel for him,his salary can't take him home anymore,just trying to make extra to support himself,that is the situation of millions of Nigerians nowadays,we are seriously in trouble because of our dead economy.

You can see your myopic thinking. Who are the leaders? Leadership can not change until followers and citizens change. Citizen assume the position of leadership

That's one of the proverbs justifying corruption and killing the country

Why should you chop rubbish where you dey work?

See comment

So, when was their salary able to take them home? Do you even know his salary?

Nigerians justifying nonsense and turning round to blame the government

So, how will what you see as a problem stop?

If he had verbally reported it, you or some people would have requested for evidence

Unfortunately, it's a Nigerian problem (we can either deny or accept it).......

NASS members, off your mic or NNPC employing over 1700 members of staff, with zero output....... Is also an extension of all this mess.......

Nah where we dey work, we go chop...... Till Nigeria's fortunes take a positive shift (which would not happen in 50 years)........

Na today, those people are an embarrassment to the entire country.
The moment you step into Nigeria, every single soul is begging you for money. They all thinking of what they can rip from you. Are they saying they are not aware? They only wait to react instead

LordIsaac:
This same man begged me three weeks ago and I genuinely promised to find him something when I return. Eya...anyways, truth is it's not professional!

Stop giving them money. Last time I refused to drop one Naira. One idiot was even following me asking my if I have dollars with me, that I should give him 20 dollars. I was like is this one mad!!!!!

You are pitying someone with a job, someone who is the first contact of foreigners entering your country and causing you a national embarrassment?

Someone who has no conscience and if you know how they rip people off or collect bribes to compromise airport security, you will rather fear for your safety

officialwdhtv:
Immigration officer suspended after video of him asking a tourist to find him ‘anything’ went viral.

Take a listen!!!

It's still a saying that is contributing to the problem we come back to complain about.

The real meaning of the saying is that your income (legitimate) should come from the work you do and not that you should steal or be corrupt where you work?

How would you feel if your employees steal from you and tell you that rubbish saying?

Omoawoke:

I will stop, lest one become an enabler.

Why do you think customs/immigration officials abroad, don't beg for money at their borders..........

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is right..... But may poverty not push us into desperation.........

Nobody is talking about customs officers those ones Harass you.
