Once again, we were certain that 2026 had signed a peace treaty with us. Calm days, smooth journeys, soft landings, but alas, it is only January and peace has already missed its flight.
This time, the drama stars Nollywood actress and producer Bolaji Ogunmola, who found herself playing a role she did not audition for: _The Frustrated Passenger_. With a movie set waiting impatiently and production time ticking away, Bolaji took to Instagram Live straight from the airport, yesterday, January 8.
According to the actress, her flight ticket with United Nigeria Airlines had been rescheduled not once, not twice, but three times. By the time she went live, the cameras on set were warming up without her, crew members were watching the clock, and production airtime was evaporating faster than airport apologies. Her distress was not only dramatic, it was cinematic, raw, and painfully relatable.
One could almost hear the silent screams of every Nigerian who has ever been told, “Please bear with us,” while clutching a boarding pass that has aged like fine wine.
So, Bolaji, we are sorry. Deeply.
