No big deal with that, people seats on the floor even in foreign developed country.
No be new thing

olaolulazio:
They are human......


I know some people will blame Buhari for this.

Why won’t we

soberdrunk:
No big deal, people sit on airport floors all over the world.......

No mind am... Lack of seats indeed

MyGeneration:
what did they do to us? If u say slave trade, that shows how highly ignorant you are.

Zombie, take your low mentality to your village.

SternProphet:
Go to all airports in the US. The most beautiful young people are sitting on the floor busy with iPhones. Nigerians don't even know what to post anymore if this is an issue

They just have a colonial mindest, I see how they worship oyinbo anytime I travel to Nigeria.

Same thing applied to them over there... They should write to their embassy here in Nigeria on their observations.

yvelchstores:
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.

It's a lie!!!!!! They all sit on d floor at d airports abroad. It gives them the opportunity to charge their phones, abeg stop with the inferior mentality

No big deal its a norm all over the world even the best airport you see ppl seating on the floor

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

topical naija, no shame at all. Your government must be useless for failing to provide just simple things as chairs at the airport

[quote author=ttmacoy post=74757639]Have they asked to be treated as demigods? From the photos they are sitting down and accepting things, they did not ask for the photos to be posted to nairaland.

I wonder ooo!!!
Anyway this is Nigeria where nothing is taken for granted.

what is the big deal, the floor is not as bad after all. I even thought there are thousands of them sitting on the floor

ylaa:
i call your name?
abi you don forget wey dem deport you?
no be for ground you sitdon till that cargo plane
come carry you? you too stop lying

lol deport kwa. Na u know as u get experience. See narration.

gantic:
Happens at any airport during peak times. An airport that seemingly has enough seats at noon might have people sitting on the floor at night. Gatwick had people sleeping on the floor during the drone incidents. In between a long haul flight, sitting on the floor actually feels better.

Another silly opinion to justify backwardness and substandard developments.

At off peak times, are there enough seats in MMA?

Was there a drone attack at MMA?

Why are you foolishly comparing rockets to apples?

Many of you are so dumb you wilfully defend the nonsense your leaders give you.

There are not enough seats at MMA because some idiot did not think of putting enough or they stole the money for it.

People don't sit on the floor in civilised airports because people with brains build these and the populace are not sufferhead idiots that are happy and accepting of rubbish like you.

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.

But when you go to their major airports there are enough seats for you.

We can do better, foreigner or locals that's not the image we should be giving to the world.

UjuJoan2:
Not a new thing. . . People also sit on the floor in airports abroad!

In a major int'l airport of MMIA Lagos' calibre?
It's really rare. For smaller airports of low cost airlines, yes I'll agree. But this is Lagos not Gombe

r GOD BLESS YOU SIS, gullible people

Lies, go to dxb emirates international Airport they sleep on bare floors, same with Istanbul and other airports. It's more comfortable on the floor especially when u have to wait for a long time to catch the next flight.

They do the same worldwide.

uuzba:

The truth is that airport is a place for travel, not an auditorium for meetings. You cannot provide seats for every single person. That is an indication of inefficiency

Sound argument - have to give it to u. And yet still sits uncomfortably with me (excuse the pun).

Gamesmart:


There are no more than 20 seats at MMA before one reaches boarding gates area.

For real??

Now that's waaayyyyyyyy below standard practice for an international airport, let alone a main train station in the developed world or emerging market country.

I don't know MMA but those defending 20 seats in an international airport are mad - especially if they claim to have travelled abroad.

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

Brua ah an ah ah ah

kikake:


This one na wrong campaign issue, if it was ever meant to be a campaign issue.

Funny.

RTSC:
The funny thing I got from the pictures is that the foreigners did not dress too gallantly for travel.
Just plain shirt and jeans.

Nigerians on the other hand sew natives and buy suits to travel.

Funny.

U should dress for comfort especially on long-haul flights. Very uncomfortable in economy class. You'll wear your Sunday-best once there.

Don't know bout flying business class though. Potential business deals, first impressions...

Don't mind the mad idiots.

And some the idiots are even bragging about being "well-travelled". Only online will Nigerian idiots be coming and making stupid claims about lives they don't live.

There are about 8 seats in the check-in area at MMA.

Another 8 seats just after passing through security scanners.

That is it!

Now in a 2 hour period, there might be passengers of 4 planes/flight destinations checking in.

Each plane can carry on average 150 passengers.

Lets say there are 100 first class passengers who would have a dedicated lounge, that is 500 other passengers (including old people and mothers with young children) having to fight for 8 seats, and some idiots are saying that is okay and that is how it is in every airport in the world.

Sufferheads!

Angela777:

Yes, I was traveling once to Johannesburg and the flight to Johannesburg was mostly South African people, we went to wait the boarding to the room with seats and I sat where I liked, then looking around, it felt weird, all whites were sitting in one side line and in another line of seats it was only black people. Ha, I realized I am the only one white sitting between black passengers. I didn't see this segregation traveling to Nigeria and Ghana.

That's the South African way. Funny enough though, there isn't extreme animosity between most of them but it's just cultural inheritance from the bad old days to sit apart. I promise you'd have been pleasantly surprised at their friendliness had you had the courage (or will) to strike up a conversation. Especially one based on complaints. South Africans love complaining about service.

Geez. It's worse than I thought. Infact, it's ridiculous, the way you describe the situation.

And I bet airport management travels abroad all the time for "lessons" on best international practice at the expense of the taxpayer & yet standards never improve. From what I've gathered MMA has been problematic for years.

Well, best of luck.
