At times when you hear
people share their experience(s) on certain issues, they sound like one
of those stories from tales by moonlight, not because their story isn't
believable but having been under the same conditions that led to their
bitter experience(s) on several occasions, it's difficult to imagine.
Today I'm a victim of one; INFLIGHT THEFT.
Arik Air Flight w3732 Abuja to Lagos 23/7/2014,1100hrs, seat 29B was my seat.
I was actually late to
the airport and was told the plane had already taken off. I proceeded to
the ticket-sales desk to reschedule my flight for the next
one;1300hrs.
In the course of doing
so I was told the plane was still very much on ground and I could board.
Like every human would do, I thanked my stars as that implied I would
be in Lagos on time as planned. At this point I would like to state that
I'm a frequent traveller, my job puts me in a position where I always
travel.
At the risk of sounding
immodest I have been to all the 36 states in the country on several
occasions by air except in cases where the state doesn't have an
airport, in the last 6weeks I have been to well over 9 states and as you
read this I'm probably on my way to another. As such I carry just a
hand luggage which I always stow in the overhead luggage compartment
right above my seat.
I'm very meticulous and
articulate, I say all these things so Nigerians and the world at large
would have little insight of my person and understand my amazement. I've
been bedazzled, this is more than any illusion I've seen, the tricks in
the movie, 'Now You See Me' don't match what I experienced
yesterday(23/7/2014)
