A man, Oluyomi Ojo has stated that the rate Nigerians beg at airports is shameful and disgraceful. He said that Nigerians have lost their sense of pride.
He stated that most African countries are poorer than Nigeria but they don’t beg like Nigerians.
He further stated that it will be a herculean task to clean up the system.
“The begging for money at Nigerian airports is a very shameful thing. Whatever happened to people’s sense of pride. From toilet staff to immigration officers, airport security, NAHCO staff… everyone is hustling you and delaying you so you could pay. Na curse?”
“From Kigali to Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Lomé, Accra, Cape Town, JB and various airports actors Africa. Some of these countries are poorer than Nigeria with per capital lower income than ours. I’ve never seen this kind of begging & hustling.
Zero national/personal sense of pride. “Correct man”, “How you dey now?”, “God don blessings you”, “see as your passport full”, “Bless is my brother”, “handsome man”. All because they want to beg.
How does one clean up an entire system like this?”
