majekdom2:It is not their fault because when they get critical discussion on, they will be embarrassed or insulted by some idiots that can't engage in critical discussion. At the topic, if foreign interference won't work then let them privatize the airport. Things must change. We can't continue like this. 1 Like |

God! I so much love this thread. The other day I was complaining to my friend about some NIPOST officials and their beggarly attitude. I am also aware of the corrupt practices that has overwhelmed Immigration head office, Lagos. Now Here I am faced with a thread of this same beggarly attitude at MMI Airport. But what is it with government parastatals? Are they not being regulated at all? This embarrassment is just too much to conceal. This country is big for nothing! 8 Likes |

majekdom2:and your point is well stated and fully comprehended, but I differ in that, corruption in the African context, Nigeria to be specific is an offshoot of a culture =way of life the result of which will no matter the cosmetic cures you proffer only devolve back to the mess from which it emerged. Blaming the leadership for corruption is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this instance I daresay that the followership is corrupt hence it tolerates that which is true to it's nature, if corruption were unnatural to the followership, they will shortly have been roused from lethargy and shaken off the corrupt like a wet dog soaked in water. Our culture breeds thieves, attacking the leaders (which I am not at all averse to) is merely treating the symptom not the cause...the agitation of the followership may appear as a justified lament for change, but in actual fact, it's a lament that the fruits of corruption has not trickled down to them, not too many people who benefit from the rewards of corruption fight against it....you say if the leaders are used as examples, the followership will learn..lol I say the followership will only get smarter, the human intellect is unlimited in devising evil...on the other hand, if the way of life the end of which is corruption were to be radically modified, corruption is disincentivised...and a leader emerges. 7 Likes |

GogobiriLalas:someone stated, that greed and corruption is Natural but systems should be in place to check it. Give birth to a Nigeria in America, he does the right things. Give birth to an American in Nigeria, he behaves like a Nigerian. It's the environment one finds himself as it's a mental process. check countries that fought corruption, they fought it from the top. Like I did say the government i.e leadership can frustrate one into corruption. Thats because Nigeria as it is, is basically a social country and not capitlist. And why we capitalism is hard to practice in Nigeria is because of these government policies and structures that built to encourage corruption. I don't want to go into the social problem we have i.e greed, non contentment, envy and competition. This is because I believe some personal traits can be changed given the right environment. There are Nigerians who found themselves abroad out of non contentment and perhaps competition but have changed given what's obtainable in those climes. Read about corruption in China, Ghana and so many other countries. You have to tackle it from the top because nothing happens in a nation without a government. Yes, the followers are corrupt but why do they do it with all boldness, it's because their superiors are. See, if the government gets things done the way they ought to, Yes is Yes, No is No. You face the law, justice not delayed. No matter how much of a devil you are, you will change. I made a clear example where if one has a boss as an accomplice in committing fraud, once the boss is changed, the criminal has no other option. If it is the subordinate that is changed, it gets very hard because the boss can frustrate him into committing fraud again. In most instances, the followers are subject to their leaders. Thats why there is this saying that leadership is by examples. 7 Likes |

Ugosample: Nice points, we Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria and that's just the fact, this country's problem is systemic. Anyone that wants to deal with corruption is this country is on a very long ride. In fact doing the right thing seems wrong to a lot of Nigerians and you can get punished for being the right one. 3 Likes |

It is a public disgrace to the country...and so embarrassing nothing is been done despite the daily cries from innocent people... I was more than disgraced when I first invited my wife to Nigeria and she came out of arrival to tell me how she was threatened by those fools because she refuse to give them more than 10$ for trolley....they even threatened to jail her. I tried to correct her first impression even though I knew she was right. Fast forward to 9 month later, I had the worst experience with them after setting up their lies about my passport and threatened me with DSS......They asked for 100$.....I later had to give them 4K and another $10 just not to miss my flight of around N1.M. What a shameful act. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: Apparently we're referencing different things. Free for arrivals but definitely not departure. Never had to use one upon arrival so no way i would have known about that. Departures on the other hand, as evident in the pic you attached is not free. Oh by the way, transition all you want, unless you work the type of work i do, no way you would have transitioned more than i do. Pass through there every 25-28 days non stop. |

One Fact i have been trying to get is that ,are these people paid constantly and effectively ??..I came home recently and the kind of extortion i experienced is nothing to talk about ..though i was hard on giving out but i can count the points that i was being asked to bribe ...it was more than 8 counters..in-fact before i could park my car right out side the Departure Hall,I was asked to settle,I was also told that my siblings aren't allow to follow me down to the departure Hall,then i had to settle ...For them to check my passport I had to settle ..I have been a frequent traveller since I was 19 years old and i kept wondering ...Do these bunch of criminal know what they are doing is bad ?? 2 Likes |
