A smart man, George, has raised an alarm over a death trap he observed on a Nigerian aeroplane.
George observed that the exit pathway of the aeroplane was blocked by a row of seats and expressed concern that it would be disastrous in the event of an emergency.

The good governance advocate, in a Twitter post, noted that the airline put six extra seats there in a bid to maximise profits to the detriment of passengers' lives.
He called on the aviation authority in the country to step in and well-meaning individuals to lend their voices.
Responding to a netizen who wanted to understand the issue he raised, George said planes do crash land and that it may be difficult for passengers to get out in the event of an emergency, given the extra seats at the exit pathway.
"...Planes do land abnormally (crash land). In that event, getting out of the craft is key to survival. Especially when there is fire."

People argue over his aeroplane safety concern
@_malaba said:
"What's the survival rate of a plane doing 500k/hr , if the maintenance is okay with no extra load I think it's fine."
@Airdropglobal5 said:
"I've never been on an aircraft where the exits are blocked. Yes, airlines do sell bulkhead seats for the extra legroom but these seats are always set back from the exits and you are always told, if seated there, that youll have to help passengers exit in an emergency."
@Mykoladoo said:
"I've been in flights looking just like this here. There's no seat blocking the lady's leg or blocking the exit door or am I missing something?"
@LengdungT said:
"If you talk to the airline now, some official will tell you that there shall be no accident in the name of Jesus. We're just disasters in waiting."
@nnanna_uma said:
"Ah, Airlines don join them? Well, there's an unwritten law of settlement in our transport system and it says that, "as long as you can 'settle', we'll let you go"."
