shantti:
But if it's uju Anya the whole yorubas will attack her

Maybe the way Ezekwesili is leading the igbo attack on Abike?

What brought igbo into what Abike said is un- clear. Maybe you should show us.

Olaide1295:
Abike has no fault. Obi ezekwesili has no point.
Our people need to be more polite when we speak to ourselves. You don’t insult and expect them not to insult back. It doesn’t matter if they are public workers or not.
When Buhari called them lazy yoots, what did they do?

Imagine calling someone that's old enough to your your mother mumu. I don't blame ezekwesili . They don't have respect for elderly people.

colestephan86:

I'm with abike on this.

Nury Martinez was an elected member of Los Angeles city council and the former head. What it took her to resign was a racist comment, where she said a white member of the council that had a black son was with the blacks. She didn’t just resign she had to apologise.

But in Nigeria they would tell u it’s not Nury Martinez fault it’s the fault of the white man for having a black son when he is white, that what is he expecting.

Now u see why Nigeria is just going in cycles. U guys evil in your own countries then run to enjoy good in foreign countries

You're a government official and you still behave like a market woman.
What's the difference between her and the guy who threw the first insult?

VTJN:
Lol

Tinubu is your next president bro. Don't give yourself unnecessary BP over politics

Please learn to manage your expectations about this coming election

No, Tinubu is not the next president, he will only empty his 'bullion van', make sure your share is reasonable enough.

I'm with abike dabiri on this

Abike Dabiri-Erewa is now over fed and forgot that she's a public figure and require all sense of modicum required of public servant. On this, she has thrown away caution expected of high figure without knowing. If it is in a serious country, she won't spend a day on that seat. Ordinarily nobody would have had the latitude to abuse her if not the position she's occupying. She even went overboard profiling Nigerians. It shows her bias towards defending erring Nigerians abroad. This is dangerous for Nigeria.
Meanwhile, we the citizens should also be respective and act sensibly and always do to others what we want them to do unto us.

naijainstinct:
Great response Abike.

See, na craze dem dey take cure craze. No one has the monopoly of rudeness. I feel she was even lenient enough. How can you address someone's mother as mumu woman because she is holding a public office and holds a different political view from yours? If we were to rate public officers, Abike is doing far better than most of her peers.

Drug pushers, cultists and prostitutes tarnishing the name of our country abroad wants to have a say too. If you do anyhow for another man's land, you see anyhow.

I blame Indonesia, UAE, Singapore etc for their weak immigration processes. That's why they always attract the worst of us. I cannot imagine any sane person going through the hassle of academic credential evaluation, writing IELTS, obtaining police character certificate, going through strict medicals etc and then end up pushing drugs or forming cult groups. That's why mostly the best of us end up in US, UK, Canada and Western Europe.

Now u see why Nigeria is just going in cycles, she making that statement is an endorsement that Nigerians abroad are all drug traffickers and cultists.

codemaniacs:


Geoffrey Onyeama is the minister of foreign affairs and its his Abike is doing...

the person can afford access to the internet, can form a sentence in engl:ish so the person she responded to is educated..

Call out minister of foreign affairs Geoffrey Onyeama for not doing his job and also call out Ezekwesili and yourself for not cautioning the person who called abused her..

Whether he/she is educated or not, you are a public figure, a role model for crying out loud! Two wrongs don't make a right! Neglect the person, better block him /her if you can't stomach it. Every office has its own grace which should be honoured.

I believe you and the lady missed the point. The fact that she used the word "ode", even though classless, isn't the issue. The issue is the fact that her post suggested Nigerians in Indonesia are drug dealers. Of course, many of them might be, but her sweeping statement undermines those who are working hard over there. In a bid to fire back, she undermined those she's meant to represent. I'm surprised she's not seeing this.

Peter Obi: I was a good man,only offense i committed now is that I want to be President

It's obvious Nigerian are more divided than we thought.

This is Nigeria, Africa

Your kindred will hang Tinubu portrait in their offices and public places when he succeed Buhari

festacman:
I understand how Abike Dabiri feels. I know what it means to be working one's ass off and still be unappreciated.

However, the young man who insulted Abike Dabiri was daft and by replying in the manner she did, Abike Dabiri belittled her status and office.

However, I believe what triggered Abike to apply this unnecessary vawulence was the the man's social media moniker: Aggressively Obedient - Avoid me.

To me that woman's office is one of the useless and money wasting venues of buhari and his minions follow by the office of that one called humanitarian and social something something those offices are just created to embezzle money.

It’s high time we call those block heads what they are. Big gbosa for ABIKE…you can’t be foolish and demand official massaging. Many of these stupid urchins thinks they have monopoly for insults…we just dey restrict ourselves because of our background.

atinga1:

What's the difference between her and the guy who threw the first insult?

A lot of differences.

The one insulted showed that she has a short fuse and lost her cool.
The fellow that insulted another showed the type of upbringing he had in addition to his cowardice because it is certainly he could never have said the same thing to Abike if he is face to face with her.
You cannot hide behind a faceless media and insult people anyhow. Will he appreciates the same thing being said to his mother?

It is a case a proverb about dry bones making an old woman uncomfortable. I have gone back to that tweet and I still can't see anything racist. Yorubas, Igbo, Binis, etc traffic drugs and engage in cult activities in foreign lands. So, please if you any racist innuendos in that tweet, please share with me.

If Buhari begin to reply jabs thrown at him, I wonder if he will still his official responsibilities.

Abike should have insulted the stupid boy's mother instead of the foolish boy. And for madam Oby, she should go back to his people and teach them how to respect others. Nobody has the monopoly of vawulence.

I stand with Abike

DaniDani:
It is a glaring fact that Abike Dabiri is one of the Yoruba tribalists occupying a sensitive position, more so, she is a buhari ass licker, but there's nothing wrong with her reply. You can't insult someone that is not even your subject and expect accolades. Every action has corresponding reaction. Oby Ezekwesili should go and sit down.

In that case abike should resign from her post ,u can't be serving d public as well dancing in d mud with them , u can't be a public servant n as well b throwing tantrums to d public ,this is messy n its obvious she's not qualified to hold that office

HarlequinLekex:
If u insult me i insult you back no matter my position or rank
SIMPLE.

Rank?
You don't have any rank and you may never have...

pinkgoodies:


She was even light with d ODE. If na me i go curse that guy mama. The guy could have made his point without refereing to her as a Mumu woman. Knowing fully well that she is trying and one of those performing in this istration. Even Trump dey insult opponents. Say she be public figure no give anyone right to insult her.

Hope you will say this when a bank customer service or any of the country's service providers customer service insults you like that because he or she is angry and doing her job. In a functioning country that woman won't last 48 hours in that position, moreover that her portfolio is useless and non productive.

It seems these people are ready to fight dirty.

Immediately Tinubu indicated his interest to run for the presidency position, OBY Ezekwesili or what is her name again is the first woman that spoke rubbish about Tinubu's candidacy, that was few months to APC Primary election. She later declared for Peter Obi.

Abike Dabiri has been a victim of harassment, mockery and blackmail by the IBOS for years.

The Yorubas will not take the continual harassment and blackmail by the IBOS for granted as usual. Doyin Okupe and Afenifere should have a rethink.

We know that Oby Ezekwesili nurtured hatred towards Tinubu and transferred the aggression toward Abike Dabiri a Tinubu mentee.

CaptainAyub:
This Abike Dagburu woman is so unfit for public office and can never hide her bigotry.
What did she want to achieve by this part?
"Ode! You go to Indonesia, carry drugs, do cultism, and come begging to be rescued from death sentence . Thank God for NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency) now saving people like you from death row.”

Imagine a whole govt official paid from govt coffers,demarketing the citizens of the country?

Thank God you are Biafran and you have been praying for the Zoo to fall since 2015. Why do you suddenly care about the Zoo and its citizens?

so a public figure should not defend herself against abuse

she could and can stomach it that's why she responded to the person...

No office has grace..

you are the one that can't stomach the fact that she defended herself...

you and the people complaining about her response can't stomach it because you're also tribal bigots and the only people complaining of her response are people that share the same ethnicity and tribe with the ab...

tunapawizzy:

sincerely i get that she is human, but the truth is as a leader u rise above some idiots. If all leaders choose to fight back when insulted in this country, GEJ should have killed almost every member of APC. Tinubu that Abike is following would have killed a lot of his haters abusing him. But ofcourse na ikorodu girl she be, e no fit finish for their body

Once in a while fight back.

No I don't think that NIDCOM is useless. It is needed given the number of Nigerians in diaspora though its objectives and may be mode of operation may be in need of creative change. In any case the commission is still young and hasn't been funded properly. It doesn't even have its own proper office yet. Abike Dabiri spearheaded it's formation as chairman House Committee on Diaspora and since it was her baby, FG appointed her to nurture it in line with original vision.
