A Nigerian pilot named Arinze Odira has disclosed troubling news regarding the wall clocks situated at the arrivals terminal of Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos. These clocks are supposed to indicate the times for five different countries but are currently out of order.

On February 18, 2026, Arinze took to X to express his concerns, referring to the situation as indicative of a "poor culture of excellence." He explained, "There are five wall clocks at the M.M. International Airport's arrivals terminal that are intended to display the times for Lagos, Beijing, the UAE, New York, and London. Unfortunately, none are functioning."

He went on to note that the malfunction appears to be a simple battery issue, yet it seems overlooked by airport personnel. He stated, "If you check, it is just a battery problem. None of the airport officials sees anything wrong with that. It is a cultural thing, a poor culture of excellence."

Images accompanying the statement depict the wall clocks that have failed to fulfill their purpose of providing timely information to travelers.
