The flight was supposed to be for 2:30pm Nigeria time. The announcement came that the flight would be delayed because of some 'technical reasons'. A new time of departure of 6pm was given.

Now it's 8pm Nigeria time, and we are still here in Lome waiting for an aircraft to come pick us.

Now it's been confirmed that the flight has been canceled. What the f**k!

The airline operator is currently talking of arranging a hotel accommodation for the stranded passengers. But that is yet to be established.

It sure belongs in my diary. But Its just to let you know the kind of treatment meted out to Nigerians abroad. This was an error that actually could have been avoided if they took us serious.

What's the point if you can't mention the name of the airline? and secondly, what has a plane developing "technical fault" got to do with you being Nigerian?

Is it necessary to create a thread everytime a flight is delayed?

Is it only Nigerians that are on that flight? Do you want them to fly you in a faulty plane? Why can't you go to other sections on Nairaland to read and comment on stories to pass boredom rather than creating a thread to tell us you are in TOGO.

Answer this question though I can bet my breakfast it is Arik.
Very frustrating experience with the frustrating operator.
It is their stock in trade.

Well, the airline ain't Arik. And this particular airline is doing it's best to handle the situation. We are now at The Hotel Magnificat in Lome.

And so?

I beg join ABC transport de come home fast. You should be thanking God for the flight cancellation.

A flight developing a technical fault, delayed and passengers (many of whom are from different other countries) being lodged in a hotel after the confirmation of a cancellation is now being presented by a typical Nigerian middle class passenger as one of those instances where Nigerians are being disrespected. I am sure that this guy will not attempt to sue the airline should he not have been lodged, rather he will come to Nairaland and insult the country's leaders. Would he have preferred to fly a faulty plane and risk a crash?

This is part of the sickness of the the Nigerian middle class. They disrespect their country and her institutions daily on the internet, insult her President and abuse the armed forces and every symbol of the country's authority and still want to be treated like kings abroad. Even when there is no culpability on the part of Nigerian authorities over an issue, one is invented to continue the abuse.

We must reform our country and her institutions, but we must first of all reform our mindset.

Take whatever you see in another man's country.
