AJ, the ban should be placed on the plane for allowing those deported cows to be making noise on the flight in the first place

If the jackass wasnt making so much noise, think anyone would have even said anything in the first place

If they have to make "poor" people suffer through sitting with deportees because they rather not waste money on first class, they least they can do is sedate these people.
Fine not all of them make noise,

however those that do should be dealt with as a way of RESPECTING REAL PASSENGERS/CUSTOMERS

Simple.

I totally agree! I just can't stand unruliness.

I no I signed the petition but Mr Omotola was totally wrong

If the Mr. "Busy Body" Omotola was wrong. . .why the signing of the petition?  Is it a petition totally unrelated to this incident?

I am not signing the dann petition. . .If Nigerians do not like the way they are treated. . .tough!  Let them to and get their own airlines instead of stealing and enriching themselves.  Only to be thrown out of foreign owned airlines like "soured moin moin" for real!

Na so-so Yoruba people full the petition if the names are real ooooooooooooooooooh!  In support for their country man who did not mind his business in the first place.  Please if you guys want to sign use some fake names to reflect all tribes in Nigeria!

_{I just signed up myself to the forum as a back up to escape from "Nairaland" wahala!}

please one more thing, just signed the petition, even if ba apologizes, we still boycott, what we want is to be treated no differently just cause a flight eminates from or is destined to nigeria, so even if they apologze, we still no gree until we get discouted air fares in addition to the above demands!

nwando:

Iisn't this why some air hostesses conspired and put tranquilizers in some infant milk.

Lmfao. I support it! One day I will ask them to place a COLIC baby behind you during flight, we'll see if you wont even be the one giving the kid the needle

Well you can go ahead and call Mr Omotala a busy body, but I'm sure he was moved by something to do what he had to do not just as a Nigerian but a human being.  I have a feeling that Mr Busy Body was well aware of the implications of what he was about doing and he did it anyway so my guess is that the deportee was really in pain.

I don't blame him and won't.  BA may have banned him and his luggage damaged but I'm sure he will always remember that day as a day he did what he had to do.

I've signed my own petition far back.

Bleep You ALMOND JOY You FREAKIN IGBO UNCIVILIZED FARMER , BACKWARD MONKEY, You BROUGHT UP YORUBA THING AND You ARE JUST ONE FREAKIN IDIOT WE COULD DO WITHOUT IN NIGERIA, HOW ABOUT THIS DO US ALL A FAVOR AND COMMIT SUICIDE, ASSHOLE! TRUST ME I DONT AGREE WITH A LOT OF THINGS NAIJA PEOPLE DO BUT THIS IS MORE THAN THAT, THIS IS ABOUT UNITING FOR ONCE AND MAKING A STATEMENT, JUST FOR FREAKIN ONCE! SO IF You DONT WANNA SIGN IT THEN DONT.! AND I AM NOT EXCUSING MY LANGUAGE CAUSE You DESERVE TO BE CURSED, FUCKIN IGBO BACKWARD ASSHOLE, NO BI YORUBA GUY OWN THE FORUM WEY You DEY MAKE UR OPINION ?

Didirin. She's Edo. So hush

delegiwa, the fact the deportee was in "so called pain" isnt my business. My problem is the fact that they all those noisy lunaticvs on the same aircraft as sane people.

Why are you even bothering with that level of frustration? I just mentioned that "Yoruba" thing because I knew somenone would jump out and attack soonest.  My hunches were right after all!

Siena:

Lol @ "soured moin-moin! nwando posted that originally. Crazy girl!  

I'm not signing, and I'm certainly NOT boycotting BA. Fight a stranger's battle? What on earth for?

I'll give my money to whoever gives me the best deal, could be Air France, Virgin Atlantic, KLM or even British Airways.

Thank you jare. . . "The Real Moderator"!  Especially when "NIGERIA" does not have it's own airlines.  How in the world will anyone in their right minds sign a petition against "Molue drivers" even in Nigeria, when we know what Nigerians can do?

Like I stated earlier. . .the only kind of vessels good enough to carry Nigerians anywhere in this world are "cargo planes" in the "bottom secret compartment" of any plane. . .seperated from the "cargo".

And yes. . . "without lap belts"!

hahaha, typo, but anyways just noticed u are a girl, so my apologies, but u shouldnt have called me a didirin first, don't make my agongo so oh! ok sorry!

Siena:

The deportee would have felt no pain, had he decided to co-operate with his deportation.

Why create a scene? If you refuse to walk off the plane, you get carried / bundled off.

This whole Mr Omotade fiasco was caused by him, so if anyone's to blame, blame the deportee.

Thank you. . . like he was in "Tejuosho Market or something"!  Never mind the fact that he is a bloody deportee. That tells you that he is no stranger to breaking laws.  Let him go back to Nigeria where such things are condoned.  I wish the "Busy Body" Mr. Omotola could have had his own citizenship revoked too.  What he did on that plane constitutes "terroristic interference" with a sub charges of "mob incitation"!  What a fool!

Any time I visit Nigeria, you see a bunch of these shameful looking deportees in handcuffs being escorted to the immigration officers in Nigeria under the scrutiny of serious looking security agents.  As soon as they are handed over to the immigration officers in Nigeria, they just run out of MMA so people do not recognizes them.  Shameless things! I really think they should have their own separate planes really like ReDeloaded stated.  Who wants to travel with criminals for crying out loud?

I rest my case with you sister.  I think I can see "your Point" now.

Hmmmmmmmmmm!

_{Were you blind?}

Ah Ah. u see? One naija deportee has cause person to be banned for life with Airline and now we have 2 other naija abusing self and family in the name of petition.

As for me, i no sign petition cause BA i believe made a decision based on health and safety.

typical nigerian, rude to the core! were u blindwas that necessary?? gosh, it never ends!

The fact that you think the dude was really "in pain" is amusing, delegiwa

Like you don't know Nigerians and their obnoxious ways of getting attention/sympathy even if it means distrupting peace and quiet.

The loser wanted attention and ending up disturbing the aircraft because of it, if anything he should be required to pay for Omotade's luggages.

Shooooooooo, this thread neva die?

Na wa for una

Anyway, let me add some small kobos. . .

Apparently BA are legally obligated to transfer deportees back to their countries of origin.

http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/5886

British Airways and Virgin, who were contacted by The Independent, said their aircraft had been used for the purposes of escorted deportations as they were under a legal obligation to return failed asylum-seekers. A Virgin spokesperson said: "That is a matter for the Home Office, who makes immigration policy. We are simply not qualified to make those decisions."

British Airways refused to say how many removals it carried out each year, but said it adopted a policy of permitting one escorted or two unescorted removals per flight : "It is UK law and we comply with it – it's like asking whether we are happy paying income tax."

Mr. Omotade should have stayed his a$$ in his seat with some headphones or something if he didn't want to listen to a wailing Deportee.

why not be "legally obligated" to place these deportees with first class passengers?

OK people everyone has their opinion at the end of the day. Main point is if u dont want to be supportive regardless of the circumstances surrounding this whole saga, fine, the main reason i am supporting the petition and boycott is cause i want some respect for my COUNTRY. I dont think dats too much to ask, why not lay aside our opinions for once and just make a statement just in the name of NIGERIA, By the way this post is not for those that are frustrated with Nigeria cause they were shit packers b4 they finally escaped to some country probably still packing shit!

mr motade or no mr motade,  the moral of this story is that we should learn to mind our own business,  his "SOLoMANKINDE(NESS) CAUSED all these nonsence, on the otherhand, its sad that a passanger of an aircraft was treated like an animal(mr motade not the dumb ass that was screaming),   I am surprised the dude is only seeking apology, thats crap,

This is a perfect opportunity to make money out of those bastards, why on earth will a pilot have the ordasity to remove passangers from a plane, ? thats ridiculous,  but anyways , what do u except, NO BE NAIJA THE PLANE DEY GO, lord have mercy

afi "UK Law" naa. Aj, you can add that on the list on why they suck  

Opelope:

Well, that's your belief and I respect that.  My people has a saying that there must be something in a place where a child is crying and pointing at the same time.  There has been been loads of complaints about BA's high-handedness especially on the London - Lagos route and all of the complainants cannot be "busy bodies".  

That's my personal thought anyways.

Wow! This is some thread.

@topic

I think people should not be so quick to judge and discount Mr. Omotade's story. Without saying that he was treated the way he was because he is Nigerian, my own opinion (and don't insult me if you don't agree, knowing nairaland) is that his treatment was influenced to some degree by that fact. To those saying that they have never experienced any problems on BA flights, that doesn't mean that others haven't and that the crew love you either. All it means is that they are doing their jobs professionally. This is not about some inferiority complex or whatever else you chose to call it, it's about the reality of the perception of Nigerians.
It's typical of Nigerians to say 'it's none of my business' and some people here are condemning the man for speaking up, he should be commended for standing up to his principles and his concern for his fellow Nigerian. Until I hear otherwise, I'll accept his version of events that he was civilised in his approach.
A good number of Nigerians are hypocrites. Don't forget that you could be a victim someday in some other situation. Some people like to criticize without offering anything constructive. Some people on this thread have talked about how Asians and Indians unite when there is a problem with one of their own. It's easy to see from some comments on this thread why that is not the case with Nigeria. However, I do not think a boycott is necesary or is a solution.

@D-Reloaded
You should have realized by now that there are some 'enlightened' people on narialand that must win every arguement discussion . You have no chance with them because they have something to counter whatever you say. Just visit any thread in which they have a arguement discussion. Sometimes I wonder how different that is from Obj's way of doing things. Be more mature than them and let them have the satisfaction of 'winning'.

A very observant one here. Thought I was the only once that noticed. The win-at-all-cost-crew. They can't look good unless they're making someone else look bad.

LOL!@ SOLoMANKINDE(NESS)

He was treated like that because he refused to mind his own business. He show de Naija's wey dey for plane say na ee get the same right as Prince Harry, no be so?

Besides I am hearing that the Pilot wey clear the plane na Naija. . .

Apparently if shit goes down when the plane is in mid-flight they say it is possible that Pilot could lose his license. Anyway sha, when Mr Omo was arrested, several people come follow the police make mouth na de Pilot come tok say those one must commot for plane as he no dey wahala. As BA staff not feat identify the specific ones wey follow the police get mouth, na the Pilot com talk say ee no wan play guessing game so it would be best to clear the whole of economy class. na so I hear ooo!

This tori don tire me sef. When is Mr.Omotade's court date?. . .I am sure the real tori will come out then.

In the meantime I am not signing ish!
British airways or Virgin Atlantic direct to Lagos and Abuja from London for me all the way! Whichever is cheapest!

The issue I have here is that man was not really concerned about the Deportee, rather he was disturbed by the noise and he makes that quite clear in his transcript.

The whole thing is messed up anyway.

People are saying that Mr Omo spoke up out of concern and making out that he is some upstanding citizen when it is clear that ol' boy wanted them to quiet down so that he could get some kip on his flight

Some people are blaming BA for the treatment of the Deportee when they really had nothing to do with it. They wouldn't have been the ones restraining the Deportee, it would have been the Police and the immigration officials and that is who Mr.Omo bigged up his chest to go and confront about the noise. Now if he had made his concerns about the disturbance known to BA staff in a reasonable manner, then I am sure the issue would not have escalated to what it is today.

When the immigration officials had to leave the plane with the Deportee after the confrontation with Mr Omo, they told the Police and they came to collect their man.

The only thing BA can be held responsible for is the decision to clear the flight and that was at the Pilot's, who I heard was a Nigerian, discretion. If he felt it wasn't safe to fly the plane with a lot of riled up individuals on board then I can't say I blame him.

On another note, I know too much about this issue. . .
