Nigerians need to make this video go viral and push it everywhere. The raw passion in his voice, the anger, the hunger, the desperation feels like a nation speaking through one man. I’ve rarely seen any content creator confront Tinubu this directly, without fear or soft language.
Who recorded the video to dehumanize Miss Comfort Emmanson @ibomairlines ?
That person is an employee on your aircraft and committed a crime which they must be prosecuted for. That act was intentional and malicious.

The Ibom Air hostess should be fired. She must have been very rude.
Ms. Comfort may have behaved very poorly but she deserved to be treated like a customer and not a thief.
Everyone who disgraced her and made her loose her dignity should also be fired.
Ibom Air have to pay her huge damages for this.
Women and Children should be respected in Nigeria!
ON THE TREATMENT OF IBOM AIR PASSENGER COMFORT EMMANSON
Three things are patently wrong with the treatment meted out to Comfort Emmanson, the passenger accused of slapping a flight attendant on an Ibom Air flight a few days ago.
First, I have long spoken about and experienced the reality that many flight attendants in Nigeria do not see passengers as customers deserving courtesy. Instead, they often treat them as people to be ordered around at will. It baffles me that, in 2025, the most important duty for some Nigerian flight attendants still seems to be harassing adults about switching off their phones often shaming or humiliating passengers in the process.
A polite, professional reminder that phones should be put away during takeoff should be adequate. In the United States, for instance, no one has asked me to switch off my phone in the last ten years, because airlines now encourage passengers to use in-flight internet. I have livestreamed takeoffs and landings in the US as recently as 2024. Also, I have spoken to friends on calls and exchanged WhatsApp messages mid flight countless times in the last year.
Second, and far more egregious, is the public sexual humiliation this passenger was subjected to. She was stripped of her dignity in a way that will likely leave lasting trauma from an incident that could have been resolved without such violence, force, or degrading treatment.
Third, and worst of all, was the arbitrary legal persecution that followed. She was essentially ambushed and sent to prison without trial, in what can only be described as a travesty of justice. Many have described this as a discriminatory practice, especially when compared to how other, more powerful individuals, including those accused of more serious infractions, have been treated with kid gloves.
This is about a systemic culture of abuse, humiliation, impunity, and selective justice that continues to thrive in Nigeria, from customer service to the courts. #RevolutionNow
The speed at which the lady in this ibom air saga was sent to Kirikiri is the same speed all those involved in her dehumanization should be sent to Prison.
Plus the person who stopped her from leaving the aircraft, to her who assaulted the airline staff, to the person that exposed her nakedness and the idiots who shared it online, all of them should face the law!!!
But Nigeria is a country where there are zero consequences for actions. A country where someone close to the government can stand in front of an aircraft that is ready to take off while airport authorities beg him to leave and even after the video gets out, government officials come out to apologize on his behalf because to “err is human…” However, another passenger is stripped naked and bundled…
Minister sir, @fkeyamo it is not enough to tweet! Show workings! The lady is already in kirikiri Abi? Ok what is the punishment for standing in front of an aircraft and preventing it from leaving? Oya where are the people you said will face the law for dehumanizing her? Have they been charged to court and remanded in prison? Abi una dey wait make Nigerians forget as usual?
Well, I can go on and on but I already know that in Nigeria, what is good for the goose is definitely not good for the gander.
Ibom Air should be charged to court and they have to pay heavy damages to that girl. They messed with her dignity.
She was just a customer and not a security threat.
Other air hostesses will start abusing passengers very soon.
Anyways, fly Enugu Air or Airpeace for sanity✌️
Another lady recount her experience with the same Ibom Air hostess from yesterday.
She says the hostess is vindictive and likes to oppress passengers. On a flight to Accra, the hostess fought with a passenger, who was also forcefully removed by security.
“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.

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
