Here is a screenshot of a ticket just purchased. There is a $70 tax collected per passenger on this ticket so let's say that between United and Delta that 500 people arrived one evening, that makes $35,000 per evening, in a week that is $245,000 which equals N42,857,000 per week. A month is N171,500,000 and in a year is N2,058,000,000. This is just on two US airlines, not counting the Europeans and other African airlines. And I'm sure the tax on this ticket is low. With this kind of revenue "they" can at least stop asking us "what did you bring for the boys" and fix the gadem HVAC system.

CityNG:Thinking of having T-shirts made with the inscription "ARE YOU GONNA ASK ME FOR A BRIBE TODAY?" emblazoned on the chest. This will be worn anytime I am passing through Naija airports. Of course its use may be expanded for other scenarios. |
