Morris Monye, the founder and CEO of Mo Credits Limited, has publicly expressed his deep dissatisfaction with a commercial airline after receiving an unusual boarding pass for a domestic flight. The fintech boss shared a video on social media on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, showing the handwritten ticket, which quickly went viral and sparked widespread conversations about efficiency and technological advancements in Nigeria's aviation sector.
Handwritten Boarding Pass Incident
In the video, Monye displayed a boarding pass that appeared to belong to United Nigeria Airlines, but all critical flight information—including the passenger's name, flight number 506, date, seat assignment, and passenger name record (PNR) number—was manually scribbled in blue ink. He noted that several other passengers on the same early morning flight from Lagos received identical handwritten passes.
Expressing his frustration, Monye said: "What's going on with our aviation? I was on an early morning flight with United Nigeria and I (alongside many other passengers) got issued a handwritten ticket. If I didn't video it, you probably will not believe me. It's concerning for me."
Legit.ng reached out to Monye for further comments, but he had not responded at the time of filing this report.
Public Reactions
The post generated significant online traffic, with many Nigerians sharing their thoughts. Some of the reactions compiled by Legit.ng include:
- @SadfaceEmo said: "What interest do you really have in this country that makes you wanna stay if you have the money to stay anywhere else in the world? We're in 2026 with the rest of the world but it seems like our time is counting backwards. Not surprised."
- @shayshasexy said: "It's not even new, it happened to me on Max Air late last year and I thought maybe their printer is out, but I think it's an illegal ticket sold more than the real price.. my thought."
- @EkeeyFrank said: "When other countries are moving forward, Nigeria always takes 100 steps backwards. This is another example."
The incident has reignited debates about operational standards and the need for modernization in Nigeria's aviation industry. Monye's viral video serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by travelers in the country.
