Watch video of men spotted pushing an aircraft at the airport
A video has been making the rounds on social media of some group of men pushing an aircraft at a Nigerian airport and by extension generated mixed reactions.
In the trending video, the aircraft while attempting to take a flight with some numbers of people already inside it was seen undergoing “push-and-start” with the help of airport workers.
As expected, the scene in the video led to the derision and mockery of the Nigerian aviation sector with the general impression that the aircraft was faulty and not airworthy.
However, some internet users claimed that the process of pushing an aircraft – especially from a hangar – is a normal process in prepping an aircraft for flight.
An Instagram user identified as natashabankz7 wrote; “When I thought I have seen it all😂😂😂Nigeria my Country 😂😂.”

stkathryns: This happens everywhere anyways but the different is that their people don’t post it on social media to ridicule their country. I still saw an emirate air bus being towed yesterday, no one posted about it. Nigeria is not the worst country on earth but Nigerians make the country look really bad.
