I wish that a foreigner had written this article... I would have written a rejoinder! castigating the written as a basher of Nigerians.

MsWoman expressed some of what I felt..when she wrote :Na so-so exaggeration from beginning to end

I agreed with the writer. Remember he didn't said all Nigerian. I don't see anything he said that is unlike Nigerian. If it's true, It's true; Regardless of who said it.
Some of us has been here for years but they are still fufu in morning, fufu in the afternoon and fufu in the evening. Never change.
Did any one ever ask him/herself why the European airlines treating us the way they
do, with all the money they are making of us. It's PRESENTATION - the way we present our self. Imagine their annual profit via Lagos - Europe route. They do not show appreciation in any form. They do not compensate us in any way either thru good service or good/better ticket sales.
I have a guy that works with me, he is from China; Recently we were talking about flight
Ticket and I told him the cheapest to Nigeria is $1,200.00 during low season. I was shocked when he went to his office and brought a used ticket From Dallas to China to & fro For $650.00. About the same distance or even more. I told him, you will never get Nigeria flight ticket that cheap be it slow or craw season.
One thing is certain, some of us need to change. The way we present ourself is very important. Being in the store, airport, church, mosque, work, school or anywhere.
