@Emeneks I was in an uber with my American friend in Lagos and young boys were running after the car and hailing him. I was shocked! I asked him if this happened to him often and he told me some people even called him 'master'. Our road still far!
There is power in our collective voices.
If Ochanya were your child, your sister, or your friend, would you truly scroll past this post without typing #JusticeForOchanya ?
Don’t be silent.
Her pain deserves Justice
We are her voice now, and she must get Justice
The "God" you believe in is a direct function of which group of people successfully dominated your ancestors first. Before Europeans and Arabs brought their gods, your ancestors had their own gods too.
Humanity has believed in no fewer than 5,000 different gods across 10,000 years of known human history. The relatively young Abrahamic "God" you have been conditioned to think of as self-evident through childhood brainwashing, would be just as ridiculous to your ancestors as their multiple animal spirit gods are to you today.
And while you proudly display your mental colonisation by insisting that your ancestors were moronic heathens for believing in wood carvings that looked like them instead of believing in a light-skinned Mohammed or a Caucasian Jesus who floats in the sky and spies on you when you're watching Pornhub, there is an Indian somewhere who also knows with great certainty that his blue elephant God with 6 hands and 4 eyes is definitely the True God, and everyone else mentioned in this tweet is an ignorant heathen.
"God" is a metaphor created by visionary men trying to build small tribes into great societies. Religions and their constituent rules and beliefs are societal building blocks intended to catalyse the growth of a small fishing village into an empire with rules, social delineation, and fixed roles for everyone in the society, down to the social delinquents and the prostitutes.
That is why in every major religion ever known to man, the visual representation of the "God" or gods at its centre ALWAYS physically resembles either the people in the society that created the religion, or physical entities that the society is familiar with. That's why the Roman Catholic Jesus is a white man, even though you'd have to be retarded to think that white people lived in Palestine 2,000 years ago.
That's why Sàngó is a black West African male with plaited 4C hair and he carries a West African axe. That's why Allah only speaks Arabic and the religion built around him requires a physical pilgrimage to a town in the Hejaz, which was once the core of the society that created that religion. That's why Ganesh is personified as an Indian elephant and not say, a hippo - the society that created Ganesh was visually familiar with Indian elephants, but had no way of knowing about the existence of hippos in Zimbabwe. That's why Thor is a blond, pale-skinned Scandinavian male who carries the sort of hammer that was local to the society that created Thor. That's why Zeus - created by a society with a warm, wet Mediterranean climate - wields lightning bolts and thunderstorms instead of dust storms or snow blizzards.
In fact, Africa has the unfortunate distinction of being the ONLY civilisation in recorded human history that has been made to embrace religions created by external societies, personified by gods that do not look like them or speak their language. And no surprises, it's also the civilisation with the greatest number of confused souls living with the world's most profound identity crisis.
The ability to lay these thoughts out in sequence and achieve a logical conclusion - that the gods and religions you are carrying on your soft heads are metaphorical devices that were not created for your individual or societal benefit - is what can be defined as "intellect."
Not "believing in God" because that's all that has ever been smashed into your head since before you were old enough to talk.
You're not remotely intellectual - you're just brainwashed and terrified to confront what is inside your own head.
Parents in Nigeria: you see this 400g of Milo your kids drink every morning?
It has more sugar than SIX cans of Coke.
Yet, Nestlé sells healthier, low-sugar versions abroad.
I studied this & here’s what i found.

Ultimately, we lose control of our seeds, foods and farms. Our budgets will be tied to financing the eerie, evil, foreign inventions. Our economy will be consumed by the debts we will incur in the process.
GMOs will cease the faint air we struggle to breathe and take the life we beg to have.
Hope this helps.✍️
“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.

There’s a man on TikTok saying Tyla sold 3,000 copies because she disrespected Black Americans and that BA’s decide who they wanna blow up 😂😂😂. Are these the same people who let Normani, Coco Jones, Victoria Monet, Chloe Bailey and so many others flop? What was that reason?
The unfortunate and dishonourable drama witnessed in Ibom Air has again brought to the fore the double standards in our lives and the inadequacies of our various security operatives in acting decently and in a civilised manner.
I want to start by sincerely apologising to the Ibom Air crew who were assaulted by Miss Comfort Emmanson. We must, as a society, learn and uphold good conduct, as it is a true measure of success and decent living.
However, I must equally strongly condemn the dehumanising treatment meted out to this young woman. Stripping her publicly was not only unnecessary but also represents the height of rascality and abuse by our agencies. It is unacceptable that she was hurriedly taken to court and remanded, while someone who visibly held a plane from taking off and put hundreds of lives at risk is still at large, with government agencies and some state officials speaking up for him to be forgiven.
This case is not just about one young woman, it is about the double standards that poison our justice system. Justice in Nigeria must never be about who is poor or powerless versus who has influence or access to government officials.
While Ms. Comfort Emmanson is in jail, the other offender who committed a more severe offence has not been held to the same standard. He has neither been arrested nor arraigned in any court.
We must build a country where justice is fair, equal, and not selective, especially against women who are seen to be weaker. This young lady’s offence does not compare to the crimes committed daily by those parading themselves as “excellencies” while looting public funds without consequence, and yet they have not been stripped or dehumanised in the name of justice.
We must end this selective treatment of the poor or less privileged. If justice must be served, it should be served to all, and it must be served fairly. The Minister of Aviation and other relevant authorities owe the public an explanation for these double standards in their adjudication.
Justice must be just, or it is nothing at all.
The rule of law based on justice for all must remain the guidepost of our democracy.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
