Monday Ubani, a former Second Vice-President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has counseled Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation to learn how to control his temper in public, no matter how provoked he may be.

Daily Trust Calabar correspondent Charles Eyo had asked Fani-Kayode who “bankrolled” his recent tour of several southern states.

However, the former minister, who was infuriated by the question, said the journalist was stupid.
He said, “I am saying this on live TV. What type of stupid question is that? Bankrolling who? Do you know who you are talking to? I will not take any questions from this man. What type of insulting question is that? Which bankroll? To do what? Who can give me money for anything? Who do you think you are talking to? Go and report yourself to your publisher? Please don’t insult me here. I don’t want to take any questions from this man”.

“I could see from your face before you got here, how stupid you are. Don’t ever talk to me like that. Who do you think you’re talking to? Bankroll who? You think I am one of those ones you… from who, when, how? You have a small mind, a very small mind. Don’t judge me by your own standards.”

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Ubani said while it is public knowledge that Fani Kayode has a temperamental nature, he must learn how to comport himself in public.

You know Fani-Kayode has issues of short temper so his actions should not come to journalists as a surprise”.

“But as a public officer, one will also advise that he should be very slow to anger because all manners of questions will be thrown at him as a public officer”.

“He must also learn how to handle journalists. They are his friends. Even when the journalist asked who is bankrolling the tour, there is nothing that stops him from replying that I’m the one funding it instead of saying ‘You are stupid and all that’.

“I think he may have had previous issues with some journalists and he is now trying to transfer it to the young man” he said.

And who is Ubani? Everybody wan talk.

Side dish:
For those that are extremely pained, Ubani doesn't matter. The same right he has to have an opinion in a matter that doesn't concern him, gives me the same right to have an opinion in his person... He doesn't matter! Simple as that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friends, I just met with my advisors & I wish to say the following. I hereby withdraw the statement "Ubani doesn't matter" which I used in my encounter with members of this platform. I have many friends in the NBA(past and present) who I offended by losing my cool & using such words. I hereby express my regrets for doing so. Thank you.

This same FFK will get on twitter and start calling others unprintable names but a little question, he is blowing his gasket

Am not surprised this is happening though cause all of us dey craze for this country only that very few dey roam street.

Nonsense people everywhere!

He is mad...quote me...

like if annoys you most
share if Righteousness 89 does

Ffk has gotten what he wanted with the tour itself which was attention.

The way he insulted a man that could even have passed for his age mate was too personal and scripted.

Mere mortal boasting like he is God

I pity his mulatto wife sha...must be screaming at the poor lady everyday

ok

By the time he takes crack and prepares for night rest, I am sure his baby mama would drop sense into his head.

He boasted of been a politician, what relevance is he to politics, has he won election before

I think in this case Fani Kayode is the most stupid here. As a former minister and a Lawyer, I expected him to know how to manage people, particularly men from the press, they are ready to throw any kind of questions to you at any point in time. However, this to me is not an insulting question as he had claimed. He could have stylishly dodge the question by requesting for other questions instead of raining insult on the young man.

Very true. He has anger issues

FFK is an attention seeking crackhead. How some People still take him seriously is what I don’t understand. Dude will be worse than Idi Amin if given executive powers.

difficult task for and uncouth guy that displays lack of home training both privately and publicly. there's a video floating around of a woman claiming that he beat her.

We hope he listens

thank God he was never a president

FFK is nothing more than a conceited clown and hypocrite.

He will exchange blows like that Somalian president

thank God he was never a president

Are you people kidney us?

Have you seen FFK speaking at any Pdp gathering before?

He, FFK himself have been trying to avoid anything public hence hiding behind his keyboard to drop the venoms.

Hope those who have been hailing and praising him can now understand what we have been saying about FFK.

Funnily, his children go chop inside... Reality of life

ok

He really need a therapy session

true. I wonder how who criticizes a lot can't take criticism

Very true

Abouwaza:

Those people have been program to asslick anything and anybody that criticize Buhari so they won't see anything wrong in his madness,even if ffk beat their father they won't get angry as long as he continue dissing out insult to buhari and Osibanjo.useless set of people

No one takes him seriously but IPOBians who basicly confer sainthood on anyone, even if a lunatic like FFK, fighting their enemies.

In one statement in the now infamous video he said he is not quick to anger and the very next minute he announces that he has a short fuse this contradicting himself shamefully.

Confused, hypocritical, egocentric, vajnglorious, duplicitous, deceitful and perhaps mentally unstable is what FFK is but that is how IPOBians like them. Like FFK, like Oju-iku, like Kanu, like Fayose etal.

Bitter Truth

He's unfit to be elected into any position aside the biased appointment he got

the best way we can change things is if we cooperate together, but how can you get 200 million people to work together
the citizens should first emancipate themselves, the citizens should have their own news station, paid and funded by the citizens, apart from the one that worships the government.
because he who pays the Piper dictate the tune, nta cannot ask the government some difficult questions, but a citizen funded media will work for the citizens. propaganda and fake news cannot exist, it's just like citizens funding sowere to do the right thing.
they would ask some of those questions that irritates FFk
that is democracy. freedom of speech. a citizen funded media will follow the case to any level.
at least two media house for the nation that belongs to the citizens. advert is not their thing, but to become the shadows of our politician
