It’s hard enough to travel with that useless green passport, but when you do manage to get a VISA, you can be sure that the Nigerian international airport you go to will stress the hell out of you.
Here are 11 things everyone who’s travelled abroad can relate to:
1. When you hear you have to be at the airport 2 hours early.
Am I the pilot?
2. You, still going 3 hours earlier just in case:
What have I become?
3. When you arrive and people gather to “help” with your bag.
Don’t touch it, biko.
4. When you see the line to check-in.
What is all this?
5. You, praying that you don’t have excess luggage:
I don ‘t have money, abeg.
6. Your hand luggage:
Anything to avoid excess luggage.
7. When the 11th person begs you for money.
Is that you people’s work?
8. When they ask why you’re travelling out of the country.
Isn’t leaving Nigeria a good enough reason to travel?
9. You, waiting to board:
You will wait tire.
10. When you enter a shop at the airport and see the price.
All. The. Time.
11. When your plane starts boarding but it’s not your turn to enter.
Next time you’ll buy first class.
