MMIA Lagos Airport

Hold onto your boarding passes, folks, because turbulence of the hilarious kind has hit the Murtala Muhammed International Airport! In a Twitter thread that would make even the most seasoned traveler chuckle, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) addressed a recent power outage with a blend of transparency and unintentional humor.

It all started with a seemingly straightforward explanation: a brief power cut, a seamless switch to backup, and the electrical team working “judiciously” to resolve the issue. Standard airport announcement fare, right? Wrong! FAAN decided to spice things up with a touch of self-deprecating charm.

Imagine a pilot calmly announcing, “Folks, we just hit a bit of lightheadedness up here, but don’t worry, the autopilot is, uh, ‘working judiciously’ to get us back on track.” That’s the energy FAAN brought to the table.

Twitter users had a field day deciphering the cryptic “2-3 minute outage” that felt more like an eternity in the neon purgatory of the arrival hall. Memes of phone flashlights illuminating customs forms and jokes about runway disco nights flooded the timeline.

One user quipped, “So the ‘backup power’ is powered by prayers and wishful thinking?” while another suggested FAAN invest in glow-in-the-dark boarding passes for future outages.

But amidst the laughter, a crucial question lingered: what exactly went wrong with the “automatic switch over”? FAAN’s response, promising to “leverage alternative sources of power,” left some wondering if they were planning to harness the kinetic energy of impatient travelers or perhaps invest in a team of hamsters on exercise wheels.

Overall, FAAN’s Twitter thread serves as a reminder that even in the midst of airport mishaps, a little humor can go a long way. While the power outage itself was no laughing matter, FAAN’s lighthearted approach helped diffuse tension and engage with the public in a relatable way. Now, let’s just hope their “judicious” efforts lead to more consistent illumination in the future!
