Astonishing experience will they behold.

For those leaving the country to God be the glory, they're really lucky.

For those just coming in, this is the beginning of what they are going to experience in this country. They are going to experience colossal surprises as everything is possible in this country

Stupid inferiority complex post, you people are really silly. Oyinbo sit on the floor in their airports in their countries all the time but you dumb ass made it news because it happened in Nigeria, have you ever visited an American or European airport before?

Osasnidas:
They can't certainly sit on the air, this is Nigeria they should live in it the way it is, they shouldn't be treated as demigods they aren't one.

even at home some it like that........the internet is full picture of such......especially during rush hours, etc

it is only in Nigeria (and maybe Africa) that sitting on the floor is a big deal.

My brother, the main issue is an airport says a lot about a country. It's the window shop.

MMA has too few seats. I guess it is so because it's Nigerians who primarily use it. So our authorities like to torture us and make life as uncomfortable for citizens as possible.

When I travel to other countries, I get to sit in comfortable chairs in their airports. They are not making me a demi-god but just providing a good service because they know what they are doing. They want me to come and spend more money in their country next time. Countries like Morocco & Tunisia with little resources are better developed than Nigeria. They have carved out a good tourism niche for themselves.

EU and other Western citizens can pick up their passport, buy a ticket and go spend the weekend in Morocco & Tunisia. No visa needed. But Moroccans & Tunisians need visa to visit EU. In so doing, Westerners frequent these countries and spend hard currency.
The cost of a Nigerian visa alone is enough to travel from Frankfurt, London or Brussels and stay two nights in Morocco or Tunisia.

We must banish this defensive mentality and unnecessary pride so that we can use sense & good customer service to extract hard currency from Westerners. NOT just oil & gas that will run out someday and even pollutes Niger Delta, costing livelihoods.

A big economic sector can arise around tourism. Just provide more security & infrastructure nationwide. And tourism will help further reduce poverty and unemployment.

naija na jungle before so not surprised to see this.these guys will go back to their country and tell their ppl how fuked up nigeria is.

olaolulazio:
They are human......

I know some people will blame Buhari for this.

I will. 3 years after taking over, nobody in his administration thought to spend some 2M for just 50 seats. Of course with Nigerian factor, the contract will be around 200M for those same 50 seats.

If I was aviation minister and I saw this type of news, kia kia, we'll have some seats in the airport.

rentAcock:
These guys are probably more tolerant of our problems and aren't surprised by any challenges they face in naija. They are only there to make money and bounce out.

They already knew things were bad in Nigeria before coming here. I just pray that when we tell them we are an English speaking nation, we are able to speak the English properly without shelling and foolish spelling errors. The way you speak determines how your listeners treat you.

Thank you Jare. The same person posting this will readily sit on the floor when he or she reach abroad.

Our fuckup is already all over internet with 419 yahoo mails. They know that one. Then the added new migrants dying to cross Libya to Italy, they know that one as well. Then the coconut heads doing cocain in Europe and Malaysia. They are seeing all of that.

Ediot.. . Are they not human beings.. Mtcheees

The money we got from selling crude oil (etc) should have been used to set up our industries. But due to inferiority complex a group of idiots decided to use that money to purchase finished goods, shoe,watch, phone, cars... Now the country is flooded with finished goods but jobless graduates and thieves and criminals all trying to grab a hold of the foreign currency. No one thinks about doing Good things becuae they are good. As you stated, the airport is a welcome window into a country. Common sense will dictate that one prepare such a place to a high standard to the comfort of the expected guests. But too much criminal and greedy mindset (shoe, watch, phone) cannot allow buiding contractors, and government itself to have these as their ideals and goals.

As some have noted this is not a big deal abroad (sitting on floor at airports). However let this not distract us from the point that MMIA is below-par for the passenger-demand requirements. It was commissioned in 1979! and I don't there has been any talks of an building an additional terminal or extending the current one. In my opinion it would have been better looking into extending MMIA rather creating a new national carrier.

Issorite..

Our people for stand up for them to sidon now

Foreigners:
And sooooo. Am I not Human being. I can sit anywhere I want.

You don travel before?

AIRPORT looks like a POULTRY

autojosh:
Earlier today, at the General Aviation Terminal, Ikeja – more popular known as Murtala Mohammed Local Airport 1, some foreigners were seen siting on the floor while waiting to board their flights.

These individuals decided to assume that sitting position due to the insufficient seating arrangement for travelers at the departure hall of the airport.

Ordinarily, due to the limited amount of seats at the departure hall, more travelers are left to stand. However, these foreigners decide to defy the norm by finding seating position on the floor.

See photos below.

some people will come online writing rubbish.. just for the hate for their country.....oyinbo no complain but na we dey complain. go to JFK you will see people sleeping and sitting on the floor. enough of this stupidity

How embarrassing.

That's all rubbish, Sitting on the Floor is not a Big deal and what is so bad about foreigners sitting on the floor? Even if they got Chairs i will kick them out of it if i Can

saajus:
This is not a news. Oyinbo dey always sit on the floor even at their own airport. The problem is the quality of our airport floors. It should be carpet or nicely maintained tiles.

those tiles be like say them dey piss piss there

SITTING ON THE FLOOR IN AN AIRPORT IS NOTHING NEW UNLESS YOU'VE NEVER TRAVELLED TO EITHER EUROPE OR THE STATES.
THIS IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM..... TRAVELERS ARE FUND OF SITTING ON FLOORS IN AIRPORTS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
SEE PICS GATWICK AIRPORT LONDON

This happens in other countries. Its not due to lack of seat. Its their preference

Good for them

If people can sit down and table all their problems in a meetings, surely we can work out what priority comes first and slowly overcome such foolish errors like this above. But such tabled meetings are what Nation Building is all about. Right now, me I want nation building. But it is left to each one of us to state inside their heart if they want nation building or not. English is currently our uniting language. It works well here on this website. Any other language will instantly create confusion and disunity.

yvelchstores:
[s]I am ashamed. To those asking "and so",if u travel outside the country and see how airport should be u will know that sitting on D floor is an absolute disgrace in this situation because nigerian Airport is not a" high traffic" Airport like dubai and Co . except someone can show me same scenario happening in Ghana Airport, then This is really shameful.


Nigerian youth, pls stop being mediocre and accepting below average as ok.its not OK. God help this land.[/s]

stop typing nonsense

Op, you have no earthly idea what these people did to us. If only you have little idea, you'd hate them forever. (Slave Trade)

winj3:
Another Nigerian monkey-brained dimwit, instead of how passengers sat on floor...inferiority complex turns to Foreigners

Please leave him. He tried. The typical Nigerian will take pictures of themselves flexing in an airport.
This guy pities the foreigners who we are mistreating by our negligence. The rest of us are already used to the negligence.
