Daily rocket fire and cluster munitions have turned Ben-Gurion International Airport into an eerie wartime terminal. Many Israelis are booking temporary exits to escape the constant strain of sirens and alerts.

Mark, flying to Germany, said he sensed danger mounting with each warning. Daniel boarded a flight to Greece with his children to reunite with his wife and find a moment of rest after weeks of tension.

Travel has become scarce and the tarmac now hosts military jets alongside a handful of civilian flights. Despite the disruption, many support Israel’s broader military effort and hope these measures will lead to lasting regional change.

I recently took a trip to Enugu to see firsthand why people call it one of the cleanest and most organized cities in the South-East. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the calm streets and well-maintained roads.

As I wandered through different neighborhoods, the traffic felt much less chaotic than in other major Nigerian cities. The atmosphere was relaxed, and it was easy to appreciate how orderly many parts of Enugu appear.

I also noticed the vibrant business culture across Igbo land. On nearly every street, traders and small business owners were busy selling goods. My journey took me through Onitsha and Owerri too, where the commercial activity was truly impressive.

I recorded a short video capturing my first impressions of Enugu. For those who have visited before, what was your experience like? Do you think Enugu deserves its reputation as the cleanest city in the South-East?

Tatiana Kraus often features in discussions about how travel is evolving. Many modern travelers seek more than famous landmarks and luxury stays. They want journeys that feel genuine and memorable.

This new travel mindset focuses on deeper connections. Travelers learn local customs and traditions. They join community events, explore nature, or live with host families. These experiences leave a lasting impression.

Kraus argues that travel can be a path to learning and personal growth. Immersion in history and everyday life enriches each trip. What do you think? Do you prefer traditional tourism or trips centered on culture and local ties?

Enugu Air has received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority in just five months and three weeks. This achievement far outpaces the industry norm of 15 to 24 months and marks a historic milestone for the state-owned carrier.

With a full fleet of six aircraft at launch, the airline aims to begin regional operations before the end of the year. Governor Peter Mbah’s vision is to position Enugu as a hub for commerce, logistics, and aviation across West and Central Africa, and Enugu Air is poised to drive that ambition forward.

South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation urged citizens to evacuate the Middle East as regional airspace closures ease. Limited flights have resumed, allowing many to return home.

So far, at least 150 pilgrims from Jerusalem have been repatriated on African carriers like EgyptAir.

In Dubai, hundreds boarded the first Emirates flights after the UAE partially reopened its airspace. The carrier now operates three daily routes to South Africa.

More than 6,400 citizens have registered on DIRCO’s Travel Smart system. Deputy Director-General Clayson Monyela has not yet commented on those still awaiting evacuation.

Good day, Naijaworlders. I applied in Nigeria for a UK visa type that takes a while to process. It was through TLScontact before they moved to VFS Global. I just got an email from the Home Office that my application is successful (e‑visa issued). A day later, I received an automated email from VFS Global asking me to submit my passport.

This application was submitted in Lagos over a year ago. I paid for courier return and I still have my collection slip. I was expecting an email that my passport was ready for collection and had been picked up by DHL with a tracking reference.

I cannot reply to the VFS email, and I have not been able to reach VFS Global or TLScontact by phone. Please, who has recent experience with this TLS-to-VFS transition? Do I still need to submit my passport, and how do I proceed in Lagos if I paid for courier return?

A video shows Lagos commuters confronting a young woman speaking out about the limited number of BRT buses. The incident unfolded at a busy bus stop where she was filming her latest update on long waiting times.

In the clip, several passengers warn her against constantly criticising the transport system on camera. She stands her ground and insists she will keep documenting every delay. “As far as I spend more than five minutes here, I’m going to make a video,” she says.

The footage has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions online. Some users applaud her for highlighting public transport challenges. Others question whether recording at bus stops is the best way to find solutions.

Commuters in Lagos often face long queues during peak hours. The BRT system was introduced to improve mass transit. Despite this, bus availability and delays remain an ongoing concern.

Patrick Chukwunike Chukwuma booked a trip with Peace Mass Transit in February 2021. He paid ₦500 for a ticket to Enugu but the bus was delayed. He asked for a refund but the company refused due to its no-refund policy.

The Enugu State High Court ruled the policy illegal under Sections 120 and 129 of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act. It ordered the company to refund the ₦500 and awarded ₦500,000 in general damages. Patrick received a total of ₦500,500.

This decision affirms that service providers must either deliver the paid-for service or issue a refund. It sets a strong precedent against blanket no-refund clauses. Transport companies must now respect consumer rights under Nigerian law.

My first major trip was from Kwara to Ado Ekiti. When I arrived, I saw faces I’d never seen before. People were simply living their lives, day by day.

The next year, I traveled to Kano. I was amazed by the crowd and the different language they spoke. No face looked familiar. Everyone was unique—different hair, height, cheekbones, and facial features.

Later, academics and NYSC took me to the South South and South East. Again, so many people going about their days. In Benin, Edo State, I witnessed a bus conductor arguing with a thug. It made me wonder how society shapes each person’s path—some doing harm, others trying to set things right.

As told to Boluwatife.

In 2019, at 31, I was sure japa would fix my life. I emptied my savings, sold my late father’s land, and took loans. I got a six-month visa to an Asian country. I raised about ₦6m, bought late tickets, sent ₦3m for accommodation, and flew out with only ₦200k left.

At immigration, my two-day vacation story collapsed. My three big bags and short visa raised flags. I was detained overnight and put on the next flight to Lagos. I was back within 24 hours, with no home and debts of almost ₦3m.

The shame was heavy. Relatives talked. Creditors called. I hid, moved to the village, and battled dark thoughts. My family pulled me through. I later returned to Lagos and started over in a small job.

Seven years on, I have repaid some debts and I am rebuilding. I still want a better life, but I now avoid risky shortcuts. If you plan to japa, do your research and do not gamble everything on hearsay.

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority has denied harassing TikToker darkskinnedella after her videos highlighted long waits on the Ikorodu corridor.

Head of Corporate Communication Kolawole Ojelabi said it was not a confrontation. He explained the agency discourages filming commuters without consent under privacy laws. A staff member only tried to relay this policy, but it was met with aggression.

On bus availability, LAMATA noted each BRT route has a fixed number of buses. Delays occur when buses leave full and must return before taking on more passengers. The agency also dismissed claims that buses were chartered for private events.

To ease commuter waits, LAMATA is working with private operators to expand the fleet. Darkskinnedella’s footage shows many still wait over two hours despite early departures. Demand remains high, and past reports dating to 2020 reveal similar challenges.

Enugu Air has started migrating its reservation system to its own digital platform. This follows the airline’s successful acquisition of its Air Operator Certificate from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.

Beginning March 16, all bookings will be processed exclusively through Enugu Air’s official website. Passengers traveling between March 13 and 15 should continue using the XEJet Limited platform.

The NCAA granted the AOC in under six months, a significant acceleration compared to the usual 15–24 months. Enugu Air also launched with a full fleet of six aircraft—an uncommon achievement for a startup carrier in Nigeria.

This venture aligns with Governor Peter Mbah’s plan to transform Enugu into a regional commerce and aviation hub. Enugu Air aims to expand to 20 aircraft by 2026 and commence regional routes. Tolu Ita, CEO of Enugu Air, and Emmanuel Iza of XEJet highlighted the strong government–private sector collaboration behind this success.

They tried to silence us, but Bigkoko Group is back with a new series: Rwanda Diary.

I arrived in the land of a thousand hills expecting headlines and miracles. Instead, I felt the weight of a disciplined, humming silence that challenged every assumption I carried.

This isn’t a travel guide or a corporate brochure. It’s a raw, unedited account of life at 1,500 meters—where progress meets history, clean streets hide whispered deals over Urwagwa, and a silent fear lingers behind each plastic smile.

From boardroom negotiations in the “Singapore of Africa” to secret corners where real stories live, I open the ledger on government undertakers, cultural friction, and the red earth that leaves its mark on every visitor.

Good day, everyone. Please excuse my grammar.

My wife has been working as a house help in Baghdad for over a year. Because Iraq borders Iran, recent bomb blasts have shaken even the green zone near the U.S. embassy and multinational firms.

She experienced multiple explosions in her area yesterday and is now desperate to leave. Unfortunately, Nigeria has no embassy in Iraq.

Which government offices or international agencies can we contact to secure her safe relocation from Baghdad? Thank you for any guidance.

Please I Need Public Advice.

In 2019, I was convinced that leaving Nigeria would fix everything. I earned just ₦65,000 a month as an admin officer in Lagos and lived in a cramped one-room apartment. Saving for my future felt impossible.

I emptied my savings, sold my share of family land and borrowed from anyone who would lend. I raised over ₦8 million for a six-month visa, flights and accommodation. I believed this was my ticket to a better life.

Less than 24 hours after landing, immigration officers put me on the next flight home. The humiliation and shock of that moment still haunt me seven years later.

This is my story of obsession, sacrifice and the deep emotional scars left by a failed ‘Japa’ dream.

Comrade Prince Saviour Iche says officials at the Sam Mbakwe Owerri Airport tollgate continued to collect cash despite a federal directive banning such payments. He claims his driver was forced to pay ₦1,000 in cash after the electronic system was said to be “not functioning.”

Iche notes that the same directive has been implemented at Lagos airport, where motorists now pass freely without payment. He observed operations there on March 11, 2026, and saw no cash collection.

He urges the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to investigate the Owerri toll point. Iche says he has gathered evidence, including photos of new rates, payment tickets, and recorded footage, to support his case.

Stakeholders want FAAN to clarify and enforce the policy uniformly across all airports nationwide.
