So a sane person can't stay for at least 2 hours without his or her phone
decipline is now downward spiral smh 🫤

That is the point, nobody forces a sane person to put away their phones in civilized climes. We are fond of creating stupid laws all the time. I have never ever heard of air hostesses attacking passengers in a plane, only in my mother land. Shame!!

Gbadugbakun:
So how are we supposed to take pictures in order to prove to people that we entered aeroplane?

my broda

Please tell why we have airplane modes on our phones?

Hedonisco:
I have never switched off and never will. I simply tuck my phone away in my pocket when the flight is about to take off, recline into my seat, and think about my life for the next hour or so until the plane lands, that's it.

You only need to switch it off during take off and landing.

themanderon:

Phone manufacturers don't fly planes or work in the control towers.
Switch off your phone for about half an hour is not too much.

Oraimo cord is the best for such. Apply it on the head. The effect will last for a long time.

Ishilove:
Nigerians are very obstinate and always have a hard time following instructions. See that one up there still insisting he will not switch off despite the safety concerns. Dem suppose flog am with USB cord for neck

Have u seen anyone flying first class switched off his/her phone?

Modern mobile devices do not emit harmful signald when on flight mode. Today's aircraft avionics and instrumentation are also built to high quality anti interference standards to ensure safety.
However just like the no smoking and no blades and fluids rules that came to play after Sept 11 total safety has become the concern for air travel, because you can never tell when the evil man is on board.
It's possible to have a mobile device modified as some sort of explosive with it's battery.
I am surprised they haven't banned phones and laptops on board because batteries are one of the restricted items on flights.

They have said now "throughout the flight".

And we complain about our leaders and wonder why things don't work out in the country Truly, we contribute in our own little ways to stagnate the progress of the country. I hope and pray you change this attitude of yours.

it's better passengers drop all their phones on entering d plane and only collect on exit...

na that rule dem dey plan so.

I tire oooh.

Funnily enough, it's just during take off and landing.
How is that even a problem?

meobizy:
They should post large signs of this and the date it was agreed on. I don’t see any problem with following the guideline. People in the past always turned off their phones at fuel stations and airports. The white man who set the rule relaxed it eventually.

International airlines even have WiFi onboard and they don't hound you to switch off your phone.

I no know which kind planes we get for naija local airline operators

Una dey off phone, meanwhile, people are sending texts while flying in Canada.lol. There is a reason it's called AIRPLANE MODE! DUMBOS

Racoon:
Normally, the instruction is to always turn off phones according to ICAO standard. However, some flying passengers are often obstinate to this safety instruction. I strictly observed same when I flew from Abuja to Lagos

The standard is for phones to be turned off during take off or landing. Question is why do airlines provide WiFi services if mobile phone usage is not safe? In Nigeria, we included even during the flight which makes no sense at all!

Those saying cant people do without their phones or electronic devices don't realise the work some people can achieve in that time. Nervous flyers also need something to take their attention of the flight and focus it on something.

We love draconian laws...that is how out solution to the bombing attacks in Abuja that year was to ban power bikes and the solution to one chance was to ban tint permits!

Chief the white man who manufactured the plane and made this rule has relaxed it. They even have WiFi onboard and they sell data inflight. This ship has sailed since but trust naija. We always like to make life difficult for each other.

Good decision

Meanwhile even kidnapper go still collect the tint permit o. God have mercy on naija. The worst one is forcing car owners to do yearly tint permit for a car with factory fitted light tint. Every avenue to milk the masses. The propensity to ban everything is truly Draconian.

Science and technology keeps evolving. The oyinbo who made this law before morden aircraft have relaxed it but our people are stuck in the past

They will soon introduce this one. Submit your phone at the entrance....and trust me this same Nigerians will support the law. Smh

You can go and set up your own airline then relax the law in your planes

Where do you think this obstinacy will get you? This is foolishness. If you can't obey such a simple instruction then it's pathetic 😭

Thats what our agencies turn to when it comes to flexing their authority. Small thing ..ban!

Ban crypto, Ban tint, Ban phones on flights, Ban this Ban that

Whiteman level of compliance different from our own. Their ship may have sailed but ours hasn't been built yet. Get my point? We still dey jungle. No basis for comparison even while using same grounds.

Arostar2023:
You don't know that it's for your own safety? You can never tell how incoming calls and so on can affect a plane's navigation during takeoff and landing.

No calls can come in on Airplane mode. In fact the phone is as good as switched off.

immortalcrown:
This is understandable and acceptable. Laws become more strict when people refuse to be civil.

Necessity is the mother of invention. If the people in Nigerian space have been safety conscious, civil and law-abiding, this new law would not have come into existence.

But my only problem is, will this law be the same for both the rich and the poor or will the rich be above the law?

The law is only for the poor.

I get what you mean. Our people get their own madness but you see this issue of switching off phones? Modern tech has overcome it but some rules/regulations die hard. It's absolutely needless to switch off phone on a modern aircraft. I travel regularly and this is my experienve. I use airplane mode on my own and Never for once have I been told to switch off my phone

SavageResponse:

Typical response from an average Nigerian who is addicted to Draconian laws. Mobile phones pose no threat to modern aircrafts but you will not understand this till year 2080. Airlines now offer WiFi services onboard in case you don't know

This is why the world has left Nigeria behind. The crypto that your government banned is the same crypto that US and European government are investing heavily today but watch as Nigerian like you will keep defending the ban until it becomes the global exchange medium

It's a simple instruction. It won't cost you anything to put your phone on flight mode or switch it off entirely .bThere may be no serious consequences to the plane but it's an instruction.
