I'm not saying, 'Agree with me.' I'm saying, 'Agree that I have a right to this opinion.'

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

When a celebrity is a childhood friend whom you haven’t seen in years and you see him being mobbed by fans so much that you can’t get close to him, don’t start shouting his name like everyone else. Shout your own name instead and he will turn and look for you.

@aadeyemi49 @TouchlineX This is so inaccurate that it is almost laughable. Ferguson won numerous titles with Aberdeen, including winning the 1983 European Cup against Real Madrid, before joining Manchester United in 1986.
Jose might be brazen with his expressions, but his point is accurate.

Imagine a real hijacker deciding to test the law like these ones have done. Air hostesses responding to critics of poor services with threats of drags and nude posts.
In one swoop, we've silenced critics of poor airline services and enboldened those who might want to kill 100s.

[/i:.dəʊ.rəɪ.jin/ @udoeka]

Some day soon, we'll view these as missed opportunities of restoring sanity to our polity.

Why can't KWAM 1, who attempted a hijack of a plane, and Ms Emmanson, who assaulted an air hostess, and their inciters or accomplices, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

Why?

PRESS STATEMENT: DECISION TO WITHDRAW CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST MS. COMFORT EMMANSON AND TO ADDRESS RELATED MATTERS

1. In the last 48 hours, I have been in consultation with critical stakeholders in the Aviation Sector and those involved in the unfortunate incidents regarding the unruly behaviours of certain individuals at our airports of recent.

2. Though regrettable, we think valuable lessons have been learnt by all sides to these incidents and airport security protocol, especially, have been well highlighted for the travelling public. If nothing at all, the episodes have undoubtedly helped to raise public awareness about appropriate conduct within the aviation space.

3. As highlighted in my previous statements on the last two incidents, clear wrongs were committed by both the offending passengers and staff of the airlines involved from all the evidence available to us and those available to the public. It is clear that all the actors involved cannot continue to highlight the injury or injustice done to them without acknowledging their own equal culpability.

5. Therefore, after reviewing the entire incidents, including appeals made by well-meaning individuals and remorse shown by the actors, the following decisions have been reached:

THE CASE OF IBOM AIRLINE AND MS. COMFORT EMMANSON

(a) In the case of the unruly passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, on the Ibom Airline on Sunday, the 10th of August, 2025, I have conferred with Ibom Airline to withdraw the Complaint against her today. When the Police took her Statement in presence of her lawyer, she exhibited great remorse for her conduct.

(b) Subsequent to the withdrawal of the complaint by the Complainant, the CP of Airport Command and the Police Prosecutor will immediately take the remaining steps to facilitate her release from Kirikiri Prisons within this week.

(c) I have also conferred with the leadership of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and have appealed to them to lift the life-time flying ban imposed on her, to which they agreed. The details of the resolution will be made public by the AON subsequently.

THE CASE OF VALUEJET AND WASIU AYINDE MARSHALL (KWAM 1)

(d) In the case of KWAM 1, the NCAA is to reduce his flight ban to a one-month period. FAAN will also work with the music star with a view to engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward.

(e) Having publicly demonstrated penitence, the NCAA is also to withdraw its criminal complaints against KWAM 1 earlier lodged with the Police.

(f) In the case of Captain Oluranti Ogoyi, and the co-pilot, First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET, the NCAA is to restore their licenses after the same period of one-month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional re-appraisal. The details will be announced by the NCAA.

AIRLINE OPERATORS, AVIATION AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

6. I have directed all relevant Aviation agencies in collaboration with other complementary agencies outside aviation to IMMEDIATELY begin a retreat NEXT WEEK to properly retrain and prepare our Aviation security personnel on how to deal with errant and disruptive passengers and how to deescalate potentially explosive situations. The retreat will be fully covered by the Press with the opportunity to ask all the relevant questions.

7. The Airlines will also have their own session when the conduct and attitude of their staff towards members of the travelling public will be in full focus.

FINAL COMMENTS

8. These above decisions were taken by Government and the airline operators purely on COMPASSIONATE grounds as Government will never pander to base sentiments, politically-motivated views or warped legal opinions when clear encroachment of our laws are involved.

9. We are also sending a CLEAR MESSAGE that we take safety and security in the aviation sector very seriously and we have decided to draw a line after these clemencies.

Your foundational premise is, with the utmost respect, not historically accurate. Let me try and help show you why.

The underlying arguments you present reflect a popular but inaccurate view of how the Bible was formed.

1. The Council of Nicaea never discussed the biblical canon. Its primary concern was the nature of Christ - specifically affirming His full divinity against Arius. Contemporary sources like Eusebius of Caesarea, who attended the council, make no mention of biblical books being voted on or removed. There's almost no evidence that any voting on canon took place.

2. The idea that “books were removed to fit a new church structure” is anachronistic. The early Church was persecuted, not institutionalised. Christians died for preserving Scripture, not altering it. Claims of top-down Roman editing insert modern skepticism onto a context where martyrdom, not manipulation, was the norm.

3. The Ethiopian Orthodox canon is indeed broader, and you are correct in that claim, but these books were preserved due to regional Jewish-Christian continuity, not because the West conspired to exclude them. Ironically, 1 Enoch was unknown to the West for centuries until the rediscovery of the Ge’ez manuscript, for example. That’s a matter of textual transmission, not suppression, in my view.

4. The notion that the “Western Bible” is a Roman invention is historically unsound. The Latin Vulgate, translated by Jerome, included deuterocanonical books that the later Reformers (not Rome) removed from Protestant Bibles. If anything, Rome preserved more books than post-Reformation traditions.

5. Church canon formation (what and how we got our modern day Bible) was shaped by apostolicity, orthodoxy, and catholicity, not imperial politics. Most of these books were actually excluded, not for content but for lack of apostolic authorship. There was a strong belief that apostolic authorship suggested credibility (and I agree).

So yes, the Ethiopian canon is fascinating but to claim it’s “more original” while dismissing the rest as edited or manipulated betrays both a shallow understanding of Church history and a tendency to oversimplify complex theological developments. I say this with respect.

Truth doesn’t need conspiracy theories - it just needs careful historical reading.

@Kallum160 @FabrizioRomano Come on! Racist intent? Mourinho said they were jumping like monkeys and they just had to prove him right.

Mind you, to "jump like monkeys" means to jump around excitedly or wildly, often implying a lack of control or decorum, which clearly Galatasaray is doing right now.

[/i:.dəʊ.rəɪ.jin/ @udoeka]

@skyeepl To 'Jump like a monkey' is an English expression that means to behave excitedly by jumping around and flipping one's arms. Either Victor is just playing to the gallery or something more sinister is at work. He is not doing himself any favours getting embroiled in this.
