Dear nairalanders,

Why things are done differently in Nigeria? Of all airports I have been to, it is so embarrassing, only Nigeria's airports (Muritala Muhammad Airport in particular) collect money for trolley from customers arriving/departing the country. The most unfortunate part is, those guys in charge sometimes pretend they do not have change so that you can forfeit your remaining money. If you tell them you don't have money, they will even ask you to bring foreign currency...

It is very disheartening because foreigners are been asked to pay before they can take/use too. Imagine, what they will be saying about our country when they get to their place?

We call on the Federal Government to kindly see to this.

Please, let's keep sharing this till it gets to those in charge. Enough of all these international embarrassments in our airport.

Even some uniform ladies r their now tasking travellers, putting on some armed force remembrance uniform.. Running after travellers.

was so pissed the day one put that thing on me. I thought it was free until she said I had to pay, I gave her 5h, she refused o, insisted I had to pay 2k5
I was about to do something really stupid, my cousin had to give her the money to save all of us the embarrassment.

I think it's only Lagos airport that has such issues.

As a student, should you try uncooked food along, they will charge u for one yeye quarantine. So useless fellows

Civil servant are more corrupt than the politicians

Oga, you pay $5 in LAX for trolley and you get to push it yourself too so it's not only in MMA.

Why you come put shoprite trolley? Nah shopping trolley den dey rent for airport?

MajorJeffery:

Even at Gatwick, you pay £1 for a trolley. Once you finish using the trolley and return it, you claim your £1 back.....

Not nice

Trolleys are been paid for in many airports around the world.




No bigii

Thanks for sharing this

An undue sense of entitlement could lead to unrealistic expectations...

You are just like me.

How many times una wan bring this to front page like a new thread. Mod abeg go look for food chop

But at US airports, you do not get your money back. You have to pay for using the trolley.

I actually do not understand the noise on this payment of trolley at lagos airport as if it is only done in Nigeria. You pay for trolley at any of USA airport (JFK New york, NEWARK int. airport and so ..)

Experienced that madness last year at departure requesting N1,500 to trolley my luggage into the departure hall which is less that 2 minutes and no receipt as it is runs by the staff , I still used without paying a dime! I think it is a company, Skyblue Services that is running that service,

There are many airports where trolleys are free too. The disgusting looking trolleys are not even enough, and then some porters have designated themselves as compulsory trolley pushers to extort money.

The whole international airport system in naija is just so poorly organized and corrupt. They need to hand it over to proper managers like they did MM2 in Lagos. Dt airport is far better than Murtala Muhammad International Airport. Dt MMIA should not even be a village airport. So irritating. Mscheeew.

if i have 10bags i dey carry all my myself...

Even all the trolleys in that muritala airport many of them the tyre is not moving again

Thieves

This OP just fall hand big time. You don’t know anything about airport and you rushed here all in the name of posting or to criticize the government. And some olodos like you are already typing nonsense too. Next time always make your research very well before you start embarrassing yourself.

Funny thing, maybe Na person event tell you this and you just come post am here. Na people like una Dey always share fake news.

I dey use vex carry all my luggage. No matter how long it takes.
If looks could kill,Those Porter's for don use eye kill me tenfold.
To use trolley no be by force.If they had their way,na to fine pesin for not using one.
