MrPresident1:Yes I am, because I know who I am in Christ Jesus! A minute all the earthly treasures are gone so why should I soil my soul! I need a new Nigeria devoid of corruption for my children! I will shout it on the mountain top even I am the only one! I refuse to settle for less! Nigeria must be good again! And you, I wish God grants you the opportunity to travel outside the confines of Nigeria to Europe/America so you know how things are done! Bribery is evil no matter how little or form it comes across! We have the potential to be a great nation unfortunately we treat this country as though it doesn't belong us or when we spoil it we have another one to run to! Would you join me in saying no to corruption in all facets of our societal life and if you have been collecting bribes please stop! A Chinese proverb says, it does not matter how long you've been doing a bad thing just STOP!!!! Let's save Nigeria from the cancer of bribery /corruption! 11 Likes 2 Shares |

but op. seriously when u carry any agricultural produce like garri one must provide quarantine certificate. so you ought have obtained the quarantine certificate before queuing in the line. such that u will just show them ur certificate. Corruption will always thrive in Nigeria if nigerian always seek short-cut, cut corners or by-passing the official procedures. the op action encourages corruption in the system. so even he will be arrested for evading the payment of required fee to govt agency responsible for quarantine services. that is my opinion. |

skytanics: It's true. Something a little bit similar happened to me. Though I don't have the names of the officers. I had a flight to Dubai on the Emirates. Once those immigration people saw that my passport was virgin, they referred me to a far desk. There, an officer attempted to extort me by asking me for my PTA. And also that how are they sure I am not trying to run away from Nigeria etcetera. That the government has mandated all travellers to hold pta. Meanwhile I had my card, and I had my job ID. I am well paid in Nigeria, where am I running to? And my fiance had travelled ahead with about 4,000 dollars and would meet me at the airport. They said they must see my account statement. When they saw I wasn't ready to part with a kobo, they asked me to write a statement and then asked an official to take me somewhere. The official was now telling me I would miss my flight and that where they were taking me, I would see all the people there, girls like me, weeping. |

Na so I sharply call home o. My folks contacted one of the immigration ogas. Immediately they saw that this one will put them in trouble, they started soft peddaling. I kukuma sat in the room they asked me to. Holding my knapsack tight before they would slip something incriminating inside. Anyways, they had to leave me without giving a kobo to them. They assigned a lady to assist me meander my way so I wouldn't miss my flight after the delay they caused. When I was about to leave the lady, she now started begging for appreciation for her hard word. Mtcheeww! Those people ehn? |

galantjoe: No, he will and should not be arrested All the official would have to do is kindly tell him what and what in his luggage would need the certificate. At least that's what would happen in the U.S, cause if you really think about it, a lot of flyers around the world are mostly ignorant to the ever changing laws regarding what you can carry with you, on a country to country basis. I do get your point however, but that would mostly apply when wrong doing is immediately punishable by law and the said law breaker tries to bribe his/her way out. An example of this would be bribing a police officer when you get caught in a traffic infraction, like say you beat a red light and offered the guy 5k. To tell you the truth, we are all guilty to some extent, but we can't give up just cause we aren't perfect, after all, no human is. So in essence, authorities must set the tone and be the most liable simultaneously. Do you think if not for strong institutions of law and order in the United States, that their citizens won't be acting "Nigerian"? Look, an average white dude would piss in the Bush if they were really pressed with no public restroom around, but being that the law is so strong there, what you have would be an overall majority deciding to pee in their cars or hold it military style, rather than risk getting caught peeing in public by a law enforcement agent. So yeah, law enforcement is by far the most liable and we should hold them accountable, after all, they do have the power to arrest you for giving the bribe, but you don't have the power to do the same to them for asking. 4 Likes |

It's just sad. The airport is in a state, yet all the oga at the top that should do somthing about it travel all the time . they see it and just do nothing. It's just as if Nigerians Dont know what STANDARDS should be. Where else do they do the kind of checking they do at the MMIA? Not in dubai, not in the USA. They extort shamelessly. Unfortunately I doubt if PMB will read this. It just weakens. I Taya for the country and we the people. |

The truth is, all government officials at MMIA are so unprofessional. They demand for bribe as if they are hungry. At any sight of airline passengers, they see it as a means to extort money. Not knowing they are not the only underpaid worker in Nigeria. I cant count how these set of people have embarrassed Nigeria in front of many foreigners |

kimond101: The problem with corruption in this country is that everyone wants to live large. It's not about the salary but living big. Until we learn to leave within the scope of our earnings and ou r leaders stop acting as if-if you are not rich are are one |

This is not new. Same thing happens every time you carry food items. I was made to pay 2k during my last trip out of Nigeria. Even the airline staff are criminal too. I had an over weight of 13kg and was asked to pay 50dollars per extra kg. I just had to painstakingly re-distribute my luggage to balance it. You're lucky u didn't miss ur flight. |
Re: My Ordeal With Customs And Quarantine Officers At Emirates Airline Desk MMIA by dhamilaray(m): 1:38pm On Mar 18, 2016 |
Tell me where there is no corruption.if u had given them 2k dey would release you which is more better than missing ur flight and paying 150-200 dollars.use ur discretion |

First rule is to go early to the airport but that aside, most Nigerians leave above their salary with the balance coming from extortion. Every office in Nigeria is affected but for few staff who decide to be as Job. |

AleAirHub:Why are those travelers giving them what they demand Everybody is playing it safe and avoiding delay, yet we all are living like endangered specie in our own land. I can't wait to encounter such guys at the airport, neither of us will have no rest that day. I will forfeit my flight, while they will suspend their work that day if not indefinitely.

subzidi:Your first statement shows where the passion comes from. Keep it up, you are not alone. It's a pity that evil is a norm in Nigeria. The problem with this country is not actually our leaders, it's we the masses. We are so comfortable with corruption and bribery that our leaders know that they can't be held responsible because we are just like them. At every nook and cranny of this country, it oozes stench of bribery and evil orchestrations and yet we blame our leaders and when you voice out people call you holier than thou. It's a sick country honestly. I've made up my mind that I will never ever ever give in to bribery in this country no matter what it will cost me, so help me God. 3 Likes |

Why is corruption so entrenched in every facet of Nigerian society. What will quarantine officer and custom do with toothpaste. Those miscreants in uniform can never stop bringing shame to this country. |
