“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump
“Yet, despite this, our people chose to remain calm and not resort to taking any actions to express our displeasure.”
WHAT KIND OF INSANITY IS THIS???
Dear @tedcruz@SecRubio@RepRileyMoore
Let it be on record that Bashir has REPEATEDLY put out a clear terrorist dogwhistle (very likely aimed at triggering harm and violence) against Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo.
This is NOT the first time. This is NOT the second time. This will NOT be the last time that Bashir is publicly putting out posts that directly signal to a ravaging lunatic Islamist terrorist audience who will one day act on his posts to possibly kidnap, harm, and/or kill this pastor.
Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo has been the loudest voice from Northern Nigeria who has raised a global alarm to harm world about the systemic govt-permitted genocide of christians in Nigeria. Bashir is a self-confessed Islamic extremist, a notorious religious bigot, an ethnic propagandist, a tribal irredentist, an ex official of the Nigerian government and a loud supporter of the current satanic political party in power that cuddles terrorists, downplays terrorism and refers to terrorists as “brothers”.
EVEN IN RAMADAN,
This depraved, deranged and demonically blinded extremist is putting out tweets that will cause grievous harm or death to a pastor. EVEN IN RAMADAN, his soul is so full of evil darkness that he clearly wishes harm on an innocent man.
I am making an open public appeal to every sane sensible person out there- Muslim, Christian, atheist or otherwise- to please lend their voice against this extremist madness.
I’m particularly begging sane and sensible Muslims to speak up and denounce this extremist madness because when or if this evil is carried out, it will be done in the name of Islam.
I’m also putting this out as a public SOS alarm and notice that IF any evil or harm should befall Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo, may his blood fully be on Bashir’s head and may the whole world hold Bashir and his terrorist cohorts fully responsible.
It is my utmost prayer that no evil will befall that innocent man. But if these murderous extremist animals succeed in their barbaric ambitions, God will bear me witness that i did my best to raise an alarm.
They had ndi Nze na Ozo, or Ozioko/Oha which is akin to house of representatives. They're family heads who will sit at the gathering and vote on any issues in the community. There's always someone presides akin to the leader of the HOR or Senate president but everything is decided by voting.
Age grades came in handy and formed different stratas of leadership
Igbo's never believed in submitting to anyone other than his Chi, Chiukwu/Chukwu or Ezechitoke abiama or Chukwu abiama.
Respect is for parents, those older than you and those who choose to respect themselves.
Strength is proven in wrestling and the number of fields you can cultivate.
Wealth is proven by the number of farmlands, barns, wives and children and guys.
Igbos are naturally diverse, because of their love for trade they travel far and wide and relate with those from other cultures.
Marriage was aimed at building the strength of the family, strengthening family ties with intense iju-ese and celebrations.
A young man of high reputation is permitted to sit with elders and take news back to his age grade, sharing the wisdom he learned from his interactions.
The men that traveled far and wide to trade will share their stories under the moonlight.
The Igbo man is self sufficient
“The treatment of Ms. Comfort Emmanson by Ibom Air was reckless and violated her right to dignity of human person”
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) strongly condemns the treatment of Ms. Comfort Emmanson in the incident aboard an Ibom Air flight on 10 August 2025 and the subsequent lifetime flight ban imposed on her by Ibom Air and the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON). These actions are heavy-handed, unlawful, and a grave affront to the rule of law and human dignity.
It is deeply disturbing that Ms. Emmanson was forcibly removed from the aircraft, stripped of her clothing in public, and subjected to humiliation that was filmed and circulated online. Such conduct is degrading, violates her right to dignity and privacy, and falls far short of the standards of civility and professionalism expected in the aviation sector. No person, regardless of the circumstances, should be treated in such a dehumanising manner.
While Ibom Air has issued its own account of events, other video footage has emerged showing an Ibom Air hostess preventing Ms. Emmanson from alighting from the aircraft, a conduct that could constitute false imprisonment and a possible provocation that escalated the situation. This makes it all the more critical that the matter be subjected to an independent, impartial investigation by the appropriate authorities before any disciplinary action is taken against her.
The decision to impose a lifetime ban without affording Ms. Emmanson a fair opportunity to be heard is equally troubling. Ibom Air has so far only presented its own version of events without giving her the chance to respond. This one-sided process, culminating in a ban supported by AON, breaches the fundamental principle of fair hearing and renders the decision legally and morally indefensible. The power to suspend or restrict a passenger’s right to fly rests with the appropriate statutory regulator, not private associations or airline operators acting unilaterally.
The photographing, dissemination, and online circulation of indecent images of Ms. Emmanson is also an egregious invasion of privacy and a criminal act. Even if the incident was to be reported, the footage should have been blurred or edited in such a way that it did not expose her nudity to the public. Those responsible for capturing and distributing the unedited footage must be identified and prosecuted. Such acts erode public trust and undermine the rights of all citizens to be treated with dignity and respect.
The NBA demands that Ibom Air immediately withdraw the lifetime ban, issue a public apology to Ms. Emmanson, and cooperate fully with an impartial investigation into this incident. We also call on the Minister for Aviation, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, and relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough inquiry, sanction all those found culpable, and enforce strict compliance with established standards for the humane treatment of air passengers.
The NBA stands ready to provide Ms. Emmanson with pro bono legal support to ensure her rights are protected and that she obtains redress for the violations suffered. We will not remain silent while the fundamental rights of any Nigerian are trampled upon, whether by public authorities, private corporations, or individuals. Respect for human dignity and the rule of law must never be compromised, and in this matter, justice must prevail.
