Only in naija?

Every Lagosian knows that there comes a time when we have to get away from the city for solace and Starbucks coffee (I seriously don’t know why we don’t have one). So, as the weeks close in on my vacation my excitement builds and I start packing waaay before it is necessary.
The day finally arrives and I wake up extra early, we are on our way and there is absolutely no traffic from my house to the airport. I check-in and get searched for contraband items and then I have to get into another queue to get searched for drugs on a table separated by no more than a 2-inch space from the first one; “Was there seriously no way for you guys to figure out a way to do that at the same table?” but I shrug off the thought of the inefficiency until I get to the NDLEA officials who make a mockery of any kind of search and proceed to ask “anything for the boys?” I cannot describe the irritation i feel anytime i am openly asked for a bribe and I could rant on for hours about it but that’s not what this story is about...
After, this minor jilt in my morning, i skipped off to immigration, which took almost twenty minutes and headed to board my flight. After having my boarding pass checked, I waited to board the plane...15mins till the plane took off, 10mins, 5mins and still no boarding. Then a woman (sans PA system) announces that the flight will be delayed for 2 hours due to a technical problem but they will serve snacks and drinks while we wait. She apologises for the inconveniences and then we wait.
As the end of the 2 hours approaches, i await the boarding call but still nothing...then the woman, stands on a chair and announces that the flight has been cancelled because, and i have to say this perfectly, it seems that birds flew into the engine of the aircraft and they would not be able to resolve the problem today. As I get up, thinking how possible it will be to find another perfect travelling outfit, i wonder if things like this only happen in naija...
