Hi,

what happened to the nigerian passenger travelling for his brothers wedding was teribbly bad without much ado one does not need a sooth sayer to shout blue murder.

The BA staffs where biased and racial in thier decision.and Thats why we must not all not close our eyes to such descrimination.

Ill treatment at most airport with people of color is becoming rampant.even Sout africa has returned to thier appaarthied era.but this time against west africans.

Maybe when sudan humilates us we will all fight for our rights,neverthless,our leaders are rouges and nothing good can come out from them thats why the whites humilates us,Our people too need to be more civil

Are you kidding?If it was a Nigerian airline that was involved,the thread would have been titled,136 passengers dumped into the Atlantic Ocean.When was the last fatal crash by BA?

Siena:

The Orthodox Jewish man deserved to be left behind. Was he the only religious passenger on board?

Imagine if out of 300 passengers, 200 decided they wanted to pray at the back of the fuselage. What then? All that ballast shifted rearwards for take off?

He could have prayed in his seat, instead, he chose to create a scene.

Luckily, he got another flight, _{albeit a later one.}. 

No no no! *stamps feet* 

The jews must boycott. . .as someone with a jewish first name I feel highly insulted! I feel if that man had been an American, he would have been allowed to stay on board. I CALL ON A JEWS TO BOYCOTT UNITED AIRLINES!!!

CALLING ALL BABIES & TODDLERS TO BOYCOTT. . .

As someone who was once a baby not too many moons ago. . .I am calling on all babies to boycott Continental airlines, mums too. Insult!

[size=18pt]Flight Attendant Boots Gwinnett Mom, Baby From Plane[/size]

POSTED: 4:51 pm EDT July 11, 2007
UPDATED: 8:21 pm EDT July 11, 2007


GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- A Gwinnett County mother says she wants answers and action after she and her baby were kicked off a plane.

Kate Penland said she was glad to board the plane in Houston after an 11-hour delay to visit her father in Oklahoma. But she said a rude and aggressive flight attendant caused her to get to Oklahoma a day late.

Penland thinks her 19-month-old son, Garren, has a bubbly personality. But Penland said when they were aboard a Continental Express plane, a flight attendant became annoyed by Garren’s personality when he kept saying three words.

“As we started taxiing, he started saying ‘Bye, bye plane,’ said Penland. “At the end of her speech, she leaned over the gentleman beside me and said, ‘It’s not funny anymore. You need to shut your baby up.’

In disbelief, Penland asked the woman if she was kidding. It was then, Penland said, the flight attendant went too far.

“She then said, ‘You know, it’s called baby Benadryl. And I said, 'Well, I'm not going to drug my child so you have a pleasant flight.'

Penland said when the other passengers began speaking up on her behalf, the flight attendant got angrier and soon announced they were turning around and that Penland and Garren were going to be taken off the plane.

“I was crying, I was upset and I was thinking, ‘What am I going to do? I don’t have anything with me, I don’t have anymore diapers for the baby, no juice, no milk,” said Penland.

The young mother said she later learned the flight attendant told the pilot that she had threatened her. Penland said that never happened.

Express Jet Airlines released a statement that said, "We received Ms. Penland’s letter expressing her concerns and intend to investigate its contents."

A fellow passenger told Channel 2's Rachel Kim none of the other passengers had problems with Garren and that Penland never threatened the flight attendant.

Penland is considering legal action.

I assume you are trying to be funny. afi "british humor" naa

Not sure how the jewish situation has anything to do with the one at hand

Since when do jews get up and go pray in the back. More like Arab. People are supposed to remain seated on a plane during take-off, so why wouldnt he be "dealt" with.

I fail to see the comparision seeing that we dont know if Omotade got up from his seat when he made his comment.

Typical oyibo people. Always covering up their mentally retarded children with pretentious adjectives like "gifted " or "bubbly"

She should be glad they booted her off and didnt throw the baby out mid air making it a real "bye bye plane"

Orthodox Jews look and act almost like the long bearded religious mallams.
as soon as the clock strikes 12, they must pray
even if they have to do it in a public toilet.
Maybe "God" has other things to do and if they miss the appointed prayer time he could be off shopping or napping and the prayers all get dispersed in the wind.

My God!! reloaded?

wait till you have a baby.
I can picture you trying to pick Johnny off the floor at the neighborhood grocery while he's kicking and screaming.

Lmao osisi

kicking and screaming in public kini? I look like oyibo woman to you? same as my mother and her mother, just one look, the kid will shut up, as for babies, breastfeed them once and they are off to sleep. That woman sounds horrid.

She's the kind that allows her kids to run wild on pklanes and then use the excuse of "they are just being creative". Selfish people

Someone kicked off the plane, no big deal, next time he'll mind his business.

Another companion piece. . .For those who get my sense of humour, for those who don't, go and jump of a very high cliff!

[size=18pt]Passengers removed from Flybe flight[/size]

A party of 30 business travellers were escorted off a plane before it took off from Glasgow to Belfast City last night.


Following allegations of serious disturbances and drunken antics on the aircraft shortly before take-off, police removed 30 passengers from the aircraft, a scheduled Flybe flight which was due to leave Glasgow at around 8.30pm on Wednesday bound for Belfast.

On top of the alleged rowdy behaviour, the captain had passengers removed after smelling alcohol in the main cabin.

Those thought to be involved remained in Glasgow, while the 17 passengers left aboard were flown to Belfast International Airport after a three-hour delay.

A statement from Flybe said: "The captain discerned a strong smell of alcohol in the passenger cabin, and in the interests of passenger safety and comfort, he off-loaded the aircraft.

"Given the subsequent late departure of the flight it was diverted to Belfast international where passengers were bussed to Belfast City Airport on arrival.

"Passenger safety is paramount in all of Flybe's operations and an investigation is under way to ascertain the full circumstances of this incident.

"The 17 passengers who travelled should contact customer services in Exeter to seek a refund."


Who said that the Brit's wouldn't have cleared the plane had all those on board Mr Omo's flight, been their own citizens

@Elo Sela

No mind them.They will soon tell you its still racism,that most of the passengers are Scots while BA is dominated by English people.So its racism by the English against the Scots.

your "sense of humor" is just bland is all. No worries 

.They will soon tell you its still racism,that most of the passengers are Scots while BA is dominated by English people.So its racism by the English against the Scots.

Abi ooo!

Siena:

Lol.

Ah you laughed! . . .At least you are not uptight and frigid like some around here! Doh sar!

I am sure the next time Mr.Omotade witnesses someone being deported he will keep his mouth shut and stay in his seat. The same goes for the others who were removed from the flight. Nonsense!

You are really funny,instead of seeing the truth the way it is,you are there talking trash.I don't even see anything wrong in what he said,and if he was lying,someone would have spoken up.Do you know that someone was treated worst than that(tied up and gagged on the mouth) from spain and he died from such.So tell me what was wrong in him trying to calm the situation down.I support the notion that we boycott BA.

Na wah o!
tell your leaders to make your country habitable too now or you too stay and build it.
were you begged to come to england?you run out to their country, crawl and toil for their pounds and yes so u can come home and speak 'fone' to the 'razz' locals and yet you complain about how they treat you, you don forget say he who pays the piper dictates the tune?if you dont want to abide by their laws then stay in your country, otherwise take the pounds and whatever comes with it and shut the f**k up!
stop the whining and act right, live by the rules!

some assholes on this thread are idiots with a computer and internet connection. I hope all ur sorry asses get deported soon.

So vast has the number of deportees from Europe become, that two enterprising businessmen have hatched an extraordinary plan - a new airline exclusively for failed asylum seekers.

Asylum Airlines is set to be operative within three months, complete with padded rooms for troublemakers and meals - presumably with a halal option - for passengers.

The flights will journey around Europe, picking up failed asylum seekers from various countries and then dispatching them back to their home nations around Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Austrian deportation lawyer Hermann Heller and Austrian aviation consultant Heinz Berger told the Daily Express newspaper the new airline is in negotiations with several governments across Europe.

It was being promoted as a cost-efficient option for governments compared to the current arrangements on board commercial flights, with Britain reportedly spending STG315,000 ($A776,900) recently to deport just 15 Iraqis.

"Here in Austria, every time a deportee is sent home on a regular flight, they need three seats, not just for the deportee but for the policemen on either side," Mr Heller said.

"Many airlines have already stopped taking asylum seekers home because of unpleasant scenes.

"With a professional service the deportations will be faster, chains will not be needed and the deportees can enjoy a meal."

The planned flights will have guards, medical staff and a representative of a human rights group on board, though there is no immediate news of plans for inflight entertainment or a frequent-flyer schem

NIGERIANS THREATEN TO BOYCOT BA OVER DEPORTATION SAGA

Thousands of Nigerians living abroad have threatened to boycott, British Airways over the recent shabby treatment of a Nigerian deportee and other citizens onboard a Lagos bound flight at the London Heathrow Airport on March27, 2008.

The aggrieved Nigerians living in countries in Europe, Canada, US,Asia and others at home had frowned at the uncivilized manner at which British immigration officials and that of the BA often treat Nigerians under the guise of enforcing immigration laws in that country.

It will be recalled that 135 passengers who were Nigerians who resisted the inhuman treatment meted on the said deportee were denied flight to Lagos while ,one Ayodeji Omotade,an IT Consultant ,perceived by BA officials to be championing the rights of deportee was banned for life from flying the British carrier.

A passenger who witnessed the ugly incident,said this madness was stopped during the era ,former Aviation Minster,Chief Femi Fani –Kayode who took the foreign airlines to the cleaners over such reports, especially on issues relating to spraying , high air fares and shabby treatment of Nigerian passengers onboard these carriers.

He therefore urged the government to go back to that era that brought respect to Nigerian flyers.

In a protest letter sent to Mr. President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, Aviation Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and posted on a website –Village Square; the aggrieved citizens, demand among other things; a front page apology in a national Nigerian daily newspaper to all passengers’ onboard flight BA0075 bound for Lagos on March 27, 2008.
• A written apology and appropriate compensation to Mr.Ayo Omotade
• A lifting of the life ban imposed on mr Ayo Omotade
• All criminal charges against Mr. Ayo Omotade be dropped forthwith
• An undertaking from BA that henceforth such practices will desist. Nigerian passengers will be treated with respect within and outside Nigeria
, The Nigerians then gave BA until April 30th ,2008 to comply to the above demands.

“Failure on the part of British Airways to comply to the above demands will result in us calling for a worldwide boycott of British Airways by Nigerians”,the group declared.

Omotade, in his comment said: “there are also numerous accounts of less than acceptable customer service by BA to Nigerians on board flights to and from Nigeria. Such treatment must stop.”





Yeah, u read it well. lets fight this thing off once and for all. Mr Ayo did no wrong man! Join else, it may be your turn to be robbed of your important occassion one of these days.

By the way, that letter has been circulated all over.

Regards.

at last, these people get sense o! I reckon normal airlines might try to boycott this plan, they make so much money from carrying deportees

Hi everyone,

A website has been opened where we can sign against the ill-treatment on omotade,

You can go there and sign the petition, http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/component/option,com_philaform/Itemid,214/form_id,6/


and for your info, BA has actually thought about reducing Ayo's ban terms to Six months
(but we don't need six months, we need apologies and compensation and removal of the life ban )courtesy of

of the mails nigerians have sent to the BA executive director.

Hello all, I must thank everyone for their support for the past two weeks. I thought it will be the right thing to update everyone with the latest development.

British Airways have contacted me for the first time since the ordeal took place.

The letter stated that I have been banned on all BA flights for 6 months effective from 14th of April 2008 to 13th of October 2008.

The case continues and I will update you as it goes. Please thanks for the support once again.
Kind regards

Ayodeji Omotade

anyhow sha whether Omo was wrong or right go and sign the petition (yoo hia!).

Assuming na Darfur ur pal get similar wahala will u sign the petition whether he

was right or wrong?, BTW Nigerians like you and I are making sure he gets

something good out of this, do something abeg eh!


Howz my Omoge? greet her 4 me o!

I love nigerians sah,  look @ the number of pple that signed against these dude?

They must have learn their lessons. Next time they see a Nigerian, they must repect.

Its time to repect Nigerians big time.

check this link out.

Lets all come together! Both Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora. We will make a better future out of Nigeria. We have all the resources needed in our country but Britain hasn't got Natural resources just human resources(labour force)
But British people always seek justice and good will for her country's advantage. I have lived in Nigeria and Britain and i know this for sure- Just 30 years will catapult Nigeria to be a country to be recon with amongst world powers if all things been equal. Sometimes i cry when i view where Nigeria should have been less all the corruption and unjust that is still going on in our country.

Nigeria pls wake up before countries like Mali and Congo start to deport and call naija people nuisance. Nigeria is a blessed Nation. Pls do not shame us. I can't take this embarracement any longer!!

Mmmh I also experienced the same scenario on a BA 0075 Flight from London recently-precisely on the 10th of April, the man being deported kept on screaming and crying and muttering all sorts of things, and was intent on making that flight uncomfortable for everybody, even when he knew his crime - He kept saying, i only overstayed my visa.
Let us face facts; everybody knows, that if you are on a visitor's visa,you do not overstay your visa or attempt to earn money, as you are not allowed to work and have no recourse to public funds, but he kept shouting and saying that they want to steal my money, i reckon it was exactly like the case of mr. omotade, the money found on the deportee, which was seized, and kept saying, they want to steal my money

it is really a shame how nigerians in general are treated, but then again we dont behave ourselves, hence the kind of treatment mete out to us, i have seen this time and time again, and my advice is we should really consider behaving ourselves, perhaps try being prim and proper and we wont be treated badly , we are often too brash and often impolite, and these people still consider themselves superior to us, as that thing has never gone away, if you know what am talking about, its a shame Mr omotade is banned from flying BA for six months , but no wahala, there are better alternative Jare, i have often said i dont like flying them either, because of poor services in general,

i do not think that BA will answer to any demands.
if they were able to send one flight back with 139 passangers less then they will not answer Mr O
USA and UK do not handle with terrorist much more with one trouble makers
every one knows that after 9:11 no on jokeswith flights or trouble makers on flights.
and i personally do not believe the story of "i only said".
as for the money the sized just maybe they wanted to humiliate him a bit. but if they were wicked , they could have sent him to Montana -bay as a terrorist suspect.
I mean even westernunion have their eyes open after an amount of money

i watched the tape . the way that man speaks i will never believe he wrote that statement. he must have had a ghost writer.
and i will never sign any paper when it has to do with airlines. the next thing i know is that they will drag me out some place for some reason because am on some black list.
they must have told him the first time to go back to his sit. why do they have to tell him that more than once.
he must have instigated the others.as the ringleader he was the only one arrested.
