I experienced this on Asky in June last year. Internet was down in the whole of Freetown & they couldn’t access network in the airport. Resorted to manual boarding.
This thing reminded me of a time before I joined Emirates airline some years ago. We invited one of their executive to Lagos. I was working at Arik Air at the time. It happened that the day the EK guy came to visit Lagos airport, the internet was down and the entire airport immediately moved to manual boarding passes.
The EK man was like 'WOW'!!! He was blown away at the efficiency of Nigerian aviation. He said when this happens in Dubai at that time, the entire flights get delayed because they were not trained to handle this kind of operations. He went back to Dubai to tell them how much he learnt from his time in Nigeria.
When I joined Emirates, we started a project called 'Offline DCS'. This was a direct response to operational efficiency when things like this happens at the airport. So, if and when the systems break down, no flights get delayed. Everything continues as normal.
It’s almost 3 months since cars have been stuck at Grimaldi in Freeport, and dealers are getting frustrated because this is now causing serious issues among dealers, importers, and clients
And if you decide to use Sallaum instead, you risk getting your keys or parts stolen!

Reciprocity is a standard diplomatic practice. Hoping that this is also extended to Kenyans and other countries Nigerians can enter visa free or with visa on arrival.
NIGERIA IMPLEMENTS 30-DAY VISA EXEMPTION FOR RWANDAN NATIONALS
Following the announcement by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, granting Rwandan Nationals a 30-day visa exemption, reciprocating similar gesture from Rwandan Government to Nigerian citizens, the Nigeria Immigration Service has completed all arrangements for the directive’s implementation.

I have a car in Grimaldi stuck in Freeport since March! I thought it was going to leave with the vessel of the 28th April but nothing.
What���s going on? Another vessel is meant to leave next week. I hope we make it. Cos customers no Dey understand
Remember the thread I shared about routing cars through Wilmington instead?
In hindsight, a lot of dealers probably wish they did same
Cars have now been stuck in Freeport for almost 2 months, and no, it’s not your broker’s fault
Smart dealers optimize for time, not just cost!
This nigga challenged me that we must get our PhD before we clock 50 (I'm older by 7 months btw) so we can go back, inspire and mentor younger people by picking up lecturing in the East.
1 year later he died and left me with the plan.
Onye gbaa oso, mpia @meks2850 mpa gi there
I don’t know any country in Africa that still does sticker visa except South Africa. Yet they even have an e-visa application system that’s faster than the sticker visa process. And we have western democracies with supposedly better technology access holding onto passports
Perhaps this is the day to question the craze with paper work. Print this & print that: a document with e-copies! Yet in another breath the country is at the fore front of climate change advocacy! You take my biometrics & still ask me to submit a physical passport picture.
