A Delta Airline Passenger
When I read on Saharareporters that President Goodluck Jonathan had brought
120 delegates to New York for a 36-hour rendezvous, I never expected that
I would encounter some of these men and women in flesh.
Hardly had we arrived at the gate than Nigerian officials (who had accompanied President Jonathan to New York)
descended on the various duty free shops dotting the magnificent airport to buy up just about anything in sight.
The items they crazily rushed included top of the range liquors, expensive perfumes and colognes, designer bags,
high-priced clothes and wristwatches. And they did it with such frenzy that you would think that their lives depended on it.
I watched in amazement as they freely pulled out wads of dollar bills. It was somewhat dizzying, I must say.
In fact, things got so messy that Delta Airline had to abruptly introduce a weight scale to measure
the weight of hand luggage. Some of the officials clutched as many as five bags filled with duty free goods.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
The flight touched down at 4.05 p.m. Sunday, and another frenzy began.
This time it was the struggle to wheel tons of bags past Customs.
And the officials were able to go past the Customs posts with just a flash of their ID cards.
The most noticeable scene here was a top female official of a Federal Ministry in Abuja
who wheeled in nine hefty bags! And these did not include her four pieces of hand luggage.
At first, the Customs men pretended as if they wanted to check her excess baggage and asked her to step aside.
She ignored the order and calmly fished out her ID from her bag, and waved it at their faces.
The Customs men instantly stood at attention and even gave her a paramilitary salute.
