I had one of those once in a
life time experiences on Monday 3 February 2014. If it was possible for one to see two hours
in the future, I might have avoided the insane traffic jam that bedeviled Lagos
on this day and returned home and stayed with my wife after the children had
gone to school. But duty calls. I dropped the children off to school and
headed straight to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport to board a scheduled
Asky flight from Lagos Nigeria to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso via Lome, Togo.
When I got to the airport
and finally located the obscure Asky check-in counter near Ethiopian Airlines
Check-in counter, I and other passengers on the flight were asked to wait as it
is not yet time for boarding even as the flight time was approaching. After
standing and getting really frustrated, tired, sweaty and restive, they asked
us to proceed to check in.
