        Always blaming others for inefficiency. Why are Nigerians and their leaders always afraid of taking responsibility for our actions.

        I'm beyond words... Why do stories such this only seem to come from the motherland!? That airline company was quick to blame the passenger and shift the problem away from the real culprit: themselves and their cheap faulty plane. #Shame

        Somethings still does not add up here or is it just me? How is it possible for a passenger who has seat belt on able to standup and try to open the aircraft door. Puzzling I ll say.

        This is appalling. Let’s assume someone tried opening the door, will it fall off from its hinges?
