In a recent tweet, BBNaija winner, Phyna, expressed frustration over the state of Nigeria’s airports, suggesting a name change to “Begport” due to the prevalent issues.
Phyna highlighted the rampant irregularities and a sense of entitlement that permeates the airport experience, implying that the facilities have devolved into places where travellers are more likely to beg than to be efficiently served.
The term “Begport” captures a perceived shift in the airport’s purpose, reflecting a scenario where passengers are forced to plead for basic services or fair treatment.
This rebranding of Nigeria’s airports underscores a broader sentiment among travellers who feel disillusioned by the lack of organization, transparency, and accountability in the country’s aviation sector.
Also, the level of bribery and corruption from government security agents working at the airport is alarming, demanding unregistered fees from passengers.
The former BBNaija winner’s tweet resonates with many who have experienced the challenges of navigating Nigeria’s airports, suggesting that the term “Begport” might be more reflective of the current state of affairs than the traditional term “Airport.”
