Little wonder their refund process takes 6-7months. Sadly @flyxejet has proven to be worse - 7months & counting!

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

I went to the @ArikAirlineNg counter in MM1 yesterday. You first have to have your luggage weighed. After weighing it, they’ll give you a piece of paper showing you have excess luggage, if you do.

From there, you’ll go to the check-in counter to check in. At the check-in counter, they’ll give you another piece of paper and ask you to take it back to the weighing counter.

From the weighing counter, they will look at the paper and ask you to go across the hall to pay to a cashier. After that, the cashier will give you two other pieces of paper and ask you to take them back to the weighing counter.

After the weighing counter confirms payment, they will send you back to the check-in counter to collect your boarding pass.

I asked them what would have happened if I had had mobility problems. I told them that civil service no do reach like this and that I didn’t understand why Arik needed to inconvenience passengers this much simply because they don’t trust their staff. They stared at me blankly. I couldn’t be too harsh on them because they were just doing what they were asked to do.

It is why some of us are often irked by the arrogance of some who believe that everything in the private sector is superior to the public sector.

Federal Ministry of Arik.

@GuardianNigeria This is very annoying and embarrassing seeing people just misbehaving anyhow whenever they encounter police on their duty . I think irrespective of our believes about their conduct we should be trying to behave like normal human being atimes. Those guys too have family as well

[Haadi @iHaadiYT]

@scentbyniffy Reading the comments, Las las y’all are not so different from the police men or politicians. Y’all deserve each other

[Henryifechukwu @Henryifechukwu1]

@scentbyniffy This is wrong...If anything happens to this man,,,you may be putting his children’s future at risk. I dislike the actions of some police officers because of their brutality ..but I also believe that there are still good ones among them.

[Sylvester @Sylvester13131]

@scentbyniffy I’ll condemn this act as criminal act and attempted murder , why would u hit the police man intentionally, why the fuck will u do such to a uniform man ?

[whereischarles @Chinaemez]

Una dey laugh as dem jam police, abi? Nobody even know if the car was stolen and dem dey run to bypass police, or if dem dey carry exhibits, or if dem be kidnappers. Nobody really know why dem refuse to stop. Na why violent crime go keep happening for Nigeria till every one of una wey dey laugh at policemen wey dem put for road to protect una and catch criminals face the insecurity of this country. Because e Dey sweet online until them kidnap your family member.

@scentbyniffy Are we so heartless as a people that we derive pleasure from a murder attempt of an officer of the Nigerian state?

Yes, there are bad policemen, yet those policemen are still the mountain between our society and anarchy.

This is despicable.

I hope the state takes this up.

[roadmanbully @justdoingmebruh]

@scentbyniffy Omo, there is nothing here to be proud about. I am not a fan of the Nigerian police either but this is very, very wrong. What a cruel and foolish thing to do to another human being just because you don’t like them.

This is an injustice

[Tunde Obadina @TundeObadina1]

Democracy is far preferable to dictatorship. But democracy has its drawbacks too.

In developing countries like Nigeria, elections can incentivise politicians to promise ever more government spending, regardless of whether the country can actually afford it.

As next year's general elections approach, expect politicians to promise all manner of "free" benefits and government programmes. The danger is that voters may be encouraged to believe that the state can provide almost everything at little or no cost.

But nothing is truly free. Government benefits must ultimately be paid for through taxes, borrowing, or inflation.

A healthy democracy needs not only politicians who make promises, but citizens who understand the economic cost of those promises.

I have finally finished reading @fisayosoyombo’s amazing account of crossing the desert into Libya, a route many unsuccessfully try to take to Europe. I believe that his wonderful account would have done more to dissuade many from embarking on this perilous journey than any public awareness campaign.

In academic qualitative research, we call this kind of research Ethnography. The researcher immerses himself deeply in the subject matter and becomes a research tool. Fisayo could easily have earned a PhD from this work if it had been planned as an academic research project. I don't think it's too late. It just needs to be complemented now by structured interviews and other research.

I am amazed by Fisayo’s physical fitness and endurance, and his capacity to bear pain and discomfort. I stan the man over and over again. 🙌🏽

A day will come when we will talk about the unseen heros who worked hard behind the scene to reset this economy. These were people who didn't care about politics or what was in it for them. Their focus was Nigeria. They are in the purest form - Patriots.

[Jude Onox @Jude_onox]

@OpeyemiDrift 🏠 A beautiful house means little if the price is beyond what buyers can afford.

This raises a bigger question about Nigeria’s housing market:

Are developers building for the people who need homes, or only for the few who can afford them? 🇳🇬
