A Nigerian traveller has cried out over the unfair treatment of Nigerians at the boarding gate in Dubai International Airport.
In a video trending on X, the visibly displeased traveller
showed how passengers heading to Nigeria were left standing or sitting on the
floor, while passengers at other nearby gates had proper chairs.
“When we asked, they said there’s nothing they can do. If we
want to sit, we should go to a restaurant,” the traveller said in the video.
The individual called on the Minister of Aviation, Festus
Keyamo, to intervene, describing the situation as “unfair” and “not normal.”
“This is not right. They shouldn’t be treating us Nigerians
like this,” the traveller added. “I know you’ve been doing a good job, and
we’re proud of you, but please look into this.”
No seat for Nigerians at the Dubai departure gate, they were seen standing and seating on the floor…. This is sad man 💔💔
