Why Do Some Nigerians Insist on Calling Lagos Airport the World's Worst?

A foreign visitor documented her trip to Nigeria to meet her boyfriend, and her videos made the visit look so appealing that people back home were already talking about coming too. She said airport staff did not allow her to record inside the terminal, and passengers had to take a bus from the tarmac because construction was underway. In the comments, one Nigerian woman called Lagos Airport the worst in the world. Another visitor disagreed, saying she had been to Lagos several times and found the airport decent. The creator also said she liked the airport, even with the construction, and had seen worse. I was frustrated to see the Nigerian commenter continue to dismiss the airport after both visitors disagreed. Why are some young Nigerians so quick to put down their own country, and what do they hope to gain from it?
