ARIK impose 'Repack Area' on Nigeria bound flights from Heathrow

I will NEVER understand my people.

I saw a friend off to the airport yesterday - Heathrow Terminal 4 to board a night flight on Arik to Nigeria. We arrived quite early (6.30pm) and we were directed to an area on the opposite side of the check-in counter tagged 'Repack Area'. It is now mandatory for anyone boarding a flight to Nigeria to go and weigh their baggage and get it tagged at the 'Repack Area' before they can check-in. Now i ask myself again, what is it with us an excess baggage?.

Everyone know the baggage limit but majority still choose to 'overload' and then start to repack at the check-in counter. What is so difficult about weighing ur baggage properly before you leave home? Now everyone must go thru the frustration of getting your baggage tagged in the 'Repack-Area' where delays can take up to an hour as people try to juggle items between different bags to get the right weight.

 
...and this phenomenon is the same on any Nigeria bound flight globally. This mal-behaviour distrupts flight schedules by creating unnecesary delays. I bet if a fine is now imposed on anyone over the limit, this behaviour will disappear overnight. But does it have to get to that stage? Simply put, it is a form of indiscipline. There's simply no excuse for this.

It's understandable if this happens with a few passengers on a flight but when its 50%+, then it's no longer funny. Pls go and get a hand held scale at your local B&Q store. It's under £3. That's my 50Pence ojare!

VIDEO - Gael Clichy disappointed Wenger didnt greet him in the tunnel

Prior to Man City's 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday, Gael Clichy was one of several City players standing in the tunnel when Arsene Wenger passed through. Wenger appeared to spot Clichy before walking right by him without saying a word, which Clichy noticed and took exception to. Clichy played eight seasons for Arsenal before joining the steady stream of players that have moved from North London to Man City in July of 2011, to the chagrin of Wenger.

"It's only been nine years," Clichy joked with his teammates after watching Wenger go by, in reference to how long they've known each other.  (Watch from 06:50)

Giant snails seized from Nigerian at Glasgow airport (Photos)

A Nigerian traveller to Scotland recently had 36 giant snails siezed from him by Border Force officers at Glasgow Airport as he arrived on a flight from Amsterdam. The snails were seized from him because live animals require an import licence, which the man did not have. They were passed on to a rescue organisation and the passenger was warned about the restrictions on bringing the creatures into the UK. Source - DM Online

I no blame the guy. One snail for your average Nigerian restaurant na £5. However, regulation na regulation so better go buy am at your local Nigerian restaurant as opposed to breaking the law.
