Erigga calls out local airlines over poor business class refreshments
Outspoken rapper and lyricist, Erigga, has stirred up conversation in Nigeria’s aviation circles after voicing strong disapproval of the refreshment standards offered by local airlines to business class passengers.
Taking to microblogging platform X, the Warri-born artiste questioned the value of premium travel services, lamenting the mismatch between the hefty ticket prices and the meagre refreshments served onboard.
“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?” he tweeted, in a post that quickly went viral.
His remarks have sparked an avalanche of reactions online, with scores of passengers echoing similar frustrations about their travel experiences. Many criticised domestic carriers for allegedly cutting corners despite charging premium fees.
The post has since triggered a broader debate about customer satisfaction and service delivery in Nigeria’s aviation industry, particularly regarding the expectations for business class passengers.
Erigga, known for his raw commentary on societal issues, appears to have struck a chord with frequent flyers who feel shortchanged by the current in-flight service standards.
While no airline has issued an official response as of the time of filing this report, the buzz around the rapper’s tweet has once again placed a spotlight on the need for better value in the country’s air travel sector.
