One of the cabin crew members of Etihad Airways, Alexander George, happened to be in Lagos for a few days in August and he had interesting things to say.

In a post on his now private Instagram page, he stated that he was in Lagos, an interesting destination that’s so dangerous, they can’t leave their hotel.

Really?

Nigerians angrily went into his Instagram page to drag him for making that kind of statement.

But is this type of ignorance really bliss?

Some Nigerians are already planning to boycott Etihad Airways because of the statement their staff made.

Getting escorted doesn’t always spell danger!

Maybe the people at Etihad need to give their staff some home training.

Instead of him to jejely stay in his hotel and face front, he’s doing unnecessary amebo.

It’s not like flight attendants can roam about a country during work, it’s not a vacation abeg!

Every country in the world has locations that are regarded as dangerous spots.

The fact that a country has dangerous spots doesn’t necessarily make the entire country unsafe. We’re in 2016, people need to stop being ignorant abeg!

That said, Nigerians need to acknowledge the problems going on in the country rather than being defensive whenever someone from outside points them out.
