A Twitter influencer has taken to task Nigerians who humorously consider using a flight as a notable achievement. The well-known Twitter influencer expressed this viewpoint through his account, @UnclePamilerin.
In his tweet, he asserted that many people tend to celebrate boarding a flight, but he firmly believes it is not a significant accomplishment. According to him, flying is just a conventional mode of transportation, comparable to buses and trains, and doesn't warrant special recognition.
Nevertheless, his perspective has sparked disagreement among numerous netizens, who voiced their opinions in the comment section.
In his words:
“I repeat, travelling by Air ✈️ is not an achievement.
It’s just a means of transportation 🙄🙁😏”

It all depends on what you call an achievement”
@Inno4Chi added: “True. And there are routes you cannot travel to by air. You must be on the road for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours, except you’re the President or a billionaire.”
@akinwale_keji said: “ogami the first day I will travel by air, I will just be crying, cry of joy
