Its my last weekend in naija before my exit. Some of my "yeye" friends have heard that I am leaving and are putting presure on me to take them out tonight for a farewell party. I wonder how they think I have money to blow with all these expenses ahead of me. I have already notified most of them that they should get ready to pick the bills in case we hang out.

Washed my old travel bags just this morning. I realised that cockroaches have been having a swell time in them, its game over today for the little "bagas". I need to get a weighing scale in a few days before my trip so I can organise my bags from home to avoid incurring excess luggage costs as I intend to travel with as much foodstuff as possible. These things I heard are expensive in the UK.

I am also meeting with some people today who want to buy some of my things, I hope I get a good deal.

Its breakfast time for me now, please join me!

Dude, just a quick one.

How much is the ideal weight of a luggage recommended?

Since you've being there for some months now, can you kindly recommend;

1- Which foodstuffs did you wish you'd have brought along.?

2- which ones would you have reduced or added more if given the chance to?

I apologies if these questions inconvenience you.

May Visa is out and I want to prepare prudently for the travel.

I need all the guidance I can get sir.

Ideal weight not exceeding 25kg per luggage, remember not to put any food items in your hand luggage.

I wish l had brought more dried fish, more ogbono, egusi crayfish, nigerian maggi, poundo yam, elubo

There is plenty garri here and the price is reasonable.

Hi, did you get a luggage scale to weigh your luggages? If yes, where did you buy it?

PurpleG:

Best you check your airline requirements...Different airlines have different allowances...eg Medview used to be 33kg last time i flew and i think Kenya airways was 18 or 20kg...Go to the airline website, rather than asking randomly when the answer is at your finger tips on google

imconfused:


That's why I'm here for help..we are being harassed into building.. definitely applying breaks on that after the advise. We aren't really good with money stuff as you can read

Honestly, I noticed that.
Investing a little in cryptocurrency (bitcoins and altcoins) is not a completely bad idea tho. It doesn't have to be much.

I know the allowance, all I need is the luggage scale

Inkredible:


Thanks a lot.

Its max of 23kg except you are flying business class then it's 32kg for most airlines.

You can get scales from the market or any reasonably large shop.

23kg max not 25kg if Turkish Airlines. That is, 23kg each in two places. That's for your main luggage.

8kg max for your cabin luggage.

Total of 54kg!

UKMigrant has touched on food items to bring on. Let me help with luggage packing tips, you might need them.

Tips

You're not allowed to put food or sharp objects (cutlery, blade, pocket knife etc) in your cabin luggage or carry on (hand bag/laptop bag), so pack smartly.

Tightly pack all your clothes, shoes, books, or weaves (if female) into your cabin luggage. Instead of folding clothes passively or mindlessly like we do when arranging our closet, roll each tightly into a bunch.This will squeeze out air & give you more space in the box to squeeze more clothes into. You can watch YouTube videos to learn this technique.

Now you're left with food items, sharp objects, and any cream/perfume exceeding 50ml (Only liquid of less than 50ml per bottle is allowed in the cabin luggage). Now arrange all these carefully into your main luggage.

For food items, put into ziploc bags or transparent polythene bag like pure water bags. Put different food items into each and label appropriately...e.g Melon, Ogbono, Ugwu vegetable etc.

For ladies carrying weaves, discard the packs to make your luggage relatively lighter.

Palm oil is not allowed. Don't even bother!

You don't necessarily need an industrial scale to weigh your luggage. Buy a regular domestic scale. You know the ones "Check your weight" guys carry around? Yes, that one. It's less than 2k.

To weigh, first stand on it and check your weight. Write it down or memorise it. Now put your luggage on your head and check your combined weight. Subtracting your own weight from the combined weight will give you the weight of your luggage.

Your allowance per main luggage is 23kg but aim for 21kg or max 22kg at home. Why? The scale at Murtala Mohammed Int'l Airport is forward by about 2kg. You don't want to stress yourself with reshuffling at the airport or trashing stuffs you bought with your hard-earned money. Pack smartly from home!

Airport staffs are not smiling again. Before they allow you pass/check-in a 23.9kg bag, you'll beg tire. Anything above that, they'll tell you to go obtain a ticket of $150 per overweight bag upstairs! You don't need that wahala in your life.

What else?

Remember I asked you to stuff all your clothes & books plus shoes into your cabin luggage? Trust me, it would have exceeded 8kg by now. You know the box itself will add to the weight as well.

Let me give you orijo.

1. Your laptop bag is not weighed. That's an extra space to put clothes, books, laptop (of course), charger etc.

2. Your hand bag isn't weighed either. If you're a lady, that's a plus. You can carry a laptop bag + your handbag alongside the cabin bag.

3. If you're eleru town council like me & you've utilised all available spaces yet you're still not within allocated kg limits, fear not. There's still a way.

Leave your original cabin luggage with somebody (eg family/friend who followed you to the airport). Let them act like they own the bag while they simply stand by it.

Check in your laptop bag as your Cabin Luggage. They'll tag it and return it to you while the two main bags are passed to cargo. Now remove the tag and stickers on your laptop bag and place it on your original Cabin Luggage you kept with your escort. You're done!

With these tips, you'll have a smooth sail luggage wise.


Extras....

Depending on how light or fancy you want to travel, those silly Echolac boxes are not your friend. 1) They'll add to the overall weight 2) They're not durable. Most would be damaged (broken handles, broken wheels, torn surface areas, etc) before you arrive your destination. How would you even lift a damaged box? You'll place it on your head maybe

Invest in a quality box. Might be pricey but it will last for years and save you from embarrassing situations. I don't know if/where those are sold in Nigeria. I bought mine in the abroad. This is my 5th year of usage and I travel very frequently. It's still intact.

If you're low on cash, buy those very strong bagco ghana must go bags as main luggage. Not the usual ones. This one is a bit recent & it comes in one color - grey! More like a grainy white mixed with black. It costs about N1,500 per bag. Nothing to be ashamed of. You wont even see it until your final destination after you check it in at MMIA, so you can still form posh in transit with your cabin luggage. Regular travellers use it a lot. It's very light and durable. For your information, they sell it in the abroad too. So what? In fact, its a life saver for people whose boxes get damaged at the airport. Just that they'll pay a few extra thousands more to procure it at the airport.

No use am as cabin baggage oooo. You'll look like Osuofia in London. Hehehe. Joking. Use a correct small sized box as cabin/hand luggage.

Third option is to source for lightweight boxes (rare) or lightweight travelling bags with wheels (looks like a piece of cloth with wheels attached when empty. The box-shaped compact ones are heavy).


Wishing you a safe flight!

So you mean one can only put clothes in Cabin luggage then food stuffs in main luggage is that what you implied?

Is that really so?

What would be the prospects considering the language barrier, the tech gap, the culture and other such Whatnots; I don't mean to sound pessimistic!

Of course, excellent prospects would abound on technology transfer levels. I'm making moves currently to come over to US enroute China, to understudy latest trends and industry standards in Digital Signage.

Don't be among those that die in silence even if they have what's bothering their minds, simply because they want to prove they know it all. Don't be among such category of persons cuz you may end up making the wrong mistakes in life.

Get off your ego and ask questions.
It may saves you from dying in silence some days as per you ain't a Nigerian cuz Nigerians are all opened to learning.

Don't die in silence.

I can bet you didn't even know what she wrote there but won't ask based on you trying to form you know it already. Man up and ask questions even in your work place so you won't end up committing errors and save yourself of future embarrassment.

Don't be shy!

Website says 23kg but I flew the same Turkish airline, no problems at all or extra cost with 25kg each bag, one was even 25.5kg. My hand luggage sef na 20kg

Maybe things have changed in such a short time!

LMay:
23kg max not 25kg if Turkish Airlines. That is, 23kg each in two places. That's for your main luggage.

8kg max for your cabin luggage.

Don't be pained bro. Your first post tells more about you even without knowing you. And I can tell, you still have a child's mindset.

I asked someone a question but you thought to yourself that the best you can contribute was using the word "Nigerians", and that got me wondering if you've left the shore of Nigeria at all.

By their fruits we shall know them.
