Laple0541: Lol. No one would know about it if she hadn't sued. Could have jejely settled and saved on lawyers fees. Hector09: Reminds me of when I was taking a very hard graduate school admission test, and this weird Oyinbo guy was sitting next to me. Actually there was one seat separating every exam taker, but I could still smell him. It was awful. He smelled like he hadn't showered in days if not weeks. Seemed like the isolated lunatic pothead type. I really tried to concentrate and not embarrass him but this was a horrendous test I never wanted to take again, having taken it once before! (And hoping to take it one last time to get a higher percentile/score.) I was losing precious minutes as my nose and my mind couldn't cope any longer. When one of the roaming officials paced in my direction, I discreetly told her of the problem. Obviously she could smell it too. She consulted with another official and then came back and moved me to another seat without saying anything to the guy. No embarrassment. Dude was oblivious anyway. Toks2008: Whites are more likely to be discreet about keeping their distance whether due to fear or discomfort. The ones most likely to talk trash about Africans body odour are the Akatas. (Irekes in UK.) Any of our people who've lived in America can testify. |

1Sharon: You haven't been ensconced in a Uber and picked up an Indian techie dude who reeks at 8am in the damn morning. Damn Uber Pool And Lyft Line! Or on a train with a Mexican reeking of that vital ingredient in their food I can't name. Or Chinese. Etc. Everyone smells. It just varies the source or cause of the odour. 1 Like |

It may even have been moth balls. The smell is indeed pungent. It's embarrassing that she was kicked off for smelling. @ the tribalists she is a frequent flyer and was not kicked off before, so the issue is not that she is Igbo. She was Igbo every other time she flew. Stop being silly. We have all smelled some Nigerians and often the smell can be offensive. I don't know if it's the stockfish/ crayfish they cook which gets into the clothes and through the pores or the refusal of many to wear deodorant. If they are against deodorant ( if B.O was the smell) then fresh lime goes a long way as does making sure your clothes, body and hair are clean. It's not just Nigerians though lol. 1 Like |

londoner: How does one use the lime? Squirt it on your pits? I don't believe she was kicked off for smelling. Smelling could have been brought up in the initial complaint. But trust an insulted Naija women, she probably cursed their generations and the flight attendants decided to let her cool off on terra firma. That would have being why she had to tell them her kids were still on the plane when told she could not return to the plane. The official reason for ejection would likely be "being disruptive" or "causing a disturbance" or "being out of control in midair." 1 Like |

isalegan2: Fresh lime or lemon juice applied to the armpit or any smelly area kills the bacteria and smell. If anyone does this just before or during showering or mixed in with shower gel freshly, there is no way they would stink unless it's from their clothes. It neutralises the odour ( feet, armpit or anywhere else) just with a small amount of juice. Some people that can't afford deodorant use lime instead. 3 Likes 1 Share |

for me , all i will say is that the details are not clear enough, some are saying the woman might have gone wild on them, but this same woman agreed to forgo are seat(have you seen people argue because of their seats on the plane?) for this same man before the whole smelling issue. anyway , United Airline always get in the news for the wrong reason. |

dreamangel: Gbam! I just tire for the comments. I remember travelling with my dad and i was sitting behind him. The white guy sitting next to my dad told him not to touch him with his skin. Fast forward several minutes on the plane....he slept off and was the one head budding my dad. I felt like knocking his head off. I yelled at him and attendants came....told them what happened all they could say was we are sorry, do u want to switch seats. Lol 1 Like |

I had once sat besides this man who smelled so horribly, from warri to Kano. and I cried literally and threw up twice on the bus, unlike the white dude, I couldn't lay my complains to anybody, we had left the park and embarked on the journey, I had no choice but to endure it all. earnestly, it was one of the most devastating and suffocating "travel experience" I have ever encountered in my life, and boy! I wouldn't wish even my enemy to go through such an experience. Tueeh! |

SPOPOVICH: BO works the same no matter the nationality. There is someone from every African country that has smelled BO on their fellow country man or woman, or even were the source of the smell lol. It's just fact. Sweat+bacteria= body odour Although diet and hormones can also play a part. 1 Like |

Azam101: Lots of them do too but we would always just bear it because we bend for them all the time. It's how we're programmed. If a White person smelled offensively or became rude on a plane we are highly unlikely to eject them from a plane, let alone with their 'precious and innocent' White children. That's the way of the world. 2 Likes |

Azam101: No be small,which is why they are always accusing other races of being smelly. Probably a kind of defence mechanism with them: attack being the best form of defence. It is as if they want to keep blacks so preoccupied with defending themselves, blacks wont have time to see that they are actually superior to whites. When I left England for Nigeria, the Nigerians thought of me as unhygienic because I bathed once a day. They didn't know that I thought I was doing good for in England , the average English person bathed once a week. The average Nigerian bathed three times a day – more if they have a busy social life (for in addition to bathing three times a day as tradition they also bathed before going out and when they return home. So just imagine the temerity of oyibo people But, perhaps I'm being unfare here since the article was about American whites not English ones. 1 Like |

waleq2000: Not a criminal offense, but a social offense. Everybody will stay away from you. Americans are squeaky clean people and detest a lot of the bad and unsightly habits we exhibit in Nigeria; habits like picking nose in public (which is very common among Nigerians) or spitting indiscriminately (also common in Nigeria). 1 Like |

hot1sauce:I try not to include my personal bias when judging a case like this..of course as a Nigerian myself, I will be predisposed to thinking there is racism involved and if I was her lawyer, I would argue the same because my intention obviously is to win the case for my client at all costs. But as a neutral observer, and taking other factors into consideration, like the airlines history, the fact that white people too get kicked off flights frequently and the Nigerian factor of our well known unruly behavior, I cannot fully make that judgment or assumption untill more accounts and evidence is presented. Simple. |
