DOMINANT ANGLE
Lagos watches the Manchester plane land — and questions about the Filipino crew begin.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Nigeria, through two articles, reports the arrival in Manchester of the plane repatriating. But Lagos looks elsewhere: at the Filipino crew facing 42 days of quarantine in the Netherlands. These sailors — some working aboard to feed their families in countries where wages are five times lower — are the invisible workers of luxury tourism. For Lagos, which sends thousands of workers to sea each year, a forced 42-day quarantine without adequate compensation is a systemic injustice. European passengers go home; Filipino sailors remain isolated in a foreign country for another six weeks.
