It’s a big shame that #Rwanda, a smaller and far less resourced country than #Nigeria @Nigeria, the so-called “giant of Africa” 😂😏 has better, more sophisticated security checks at their major airport. I’ll explain…
Before getting to the main #Kigali airport terminal, the major security checks are done. Cars taking passengers to the airport are put through an automatic car scanner, while the driver of the car and passengers go through their own checks, within the same zone.
After the driver and passengers go through the body scanners and metal detectors, they wait for the car to come through the automated 🚗 scanner. If it’s ‘clean’, it rolls through and the driver and passenger(s) get in and drive to the terminal…
It would have been nice to film the process and post it here. But I’m afraid that I have no intentions of being a guest of the @Rwandapolice. 😂 They don’t mess around with security in this country!
Back to the story… unlike the rubbish that happens at MMIA, you don’t do any luggage check within the main terminal. You walk straight through to check-in and the regular ticket and baggage processes happen. Why can’t @FAAN_Official do what @RwandaAirports do???
Unlike @nigimmigration & @CustomsNG officers who ask passengers to “show them love” (give them unearned money) as they depart and arrive, nothing like that happens in #Rwanda. If an official, down to a cleaner, demands or receives money, that’s a sackable offence.
.@hadisirika, you’re the @fmaviationng Minister. Rather than waste further time, and money, on a hare-brained “national carrier” project, can you PLEASE introduce the seamless airport security checks that your counterparts at @RwandaAirports have? It’s really not that hard.😐🚶🏾♂️
And I have not even told you the main part of this story, because I have promised not to give specifics. Who is in charge of the Rwandan system? Where is he from? That’s a story for another day. 🙂🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
