Rapper Erigga Calls Out Nigerian Airlines Over Business Class Refreshments

 

Nigerian rapper Erigga, known for his unfiltered commentary, has sparked a buzzing conversation online about the perceived disparity between the cost of business class tickets on local airlines and the quality of their in-flight refreshments. His recent viral tweet has struck a chord with many Nigerian travelers who feel shortchanged in the skies.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Erigga candidly questioned the value proposition: "When are we going to talk about airlines collecting 300k for business class and serving you 50-naira biscuits and two sweet … Watin do short bread or eba and Ohwo?"

The rapper's humorous yet pointed critique highlights a frustration many passengers share. Paying a premium for business class often comes with expectations of elevated service, including more substantial and varied meal options. Erigga's suggestion of "shortbread" or even the local delicacy "eba and Ohwo" adds a relatable, Nigerian touch to the discussion, amplifying the perceived inadequacy of "50 naira biscuits" for a ₦300,000 fare.

His tweet quickly went viral, attracting a flurry of responses from social media users who eagerly shared their own similar experiences and complaints about in-flight catering on local routes. This collective outcry suggests that Erigga has tapped into a widespread sentiment among passengers seeking better value for their money.

The conversation sparked by Erigga's tweet isn't just about snacks; it's about the overall perception of service quality within Nigeria's domestic aviation industry, especially for those paying top dollar. It serves as a reminder that even small details like refreshments can significantly impact passenger satisfaction and loyalty.
