The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri, has expressed her displeasure with the broadcasters and presenters of Arise Television over the comment made on Emdee Tiamiyu’s interview with British Broadcasting Corporation that saw to the ban of Nigerian students bringing their dependants to the United Kingdom.

An Arise TV anchor, Ayo Mairo-Ese, had berated the President, Major General Muhammad Buhari (retd.), on a Morning show, for telling the UK government that Nigerian youths are lazy and criminally minded adding that Dabiri also called the youths drug dealers and cultists.

“I don’t know why Nigerians like to demarket Nigerians on the International scene. Take it back to 2016, our president had referred to Nigerian youths as largely lazy. And that United Kingdom should not grant them asylum because many of them are criminals.

“The chairman of NiDCOM, Dabiri also referred to Nigerian people as cultists and drug dealers.


“So what Emdee Tiamiyu has said is in accordance to what our leaders are saying,” she added while speaking in the interview.

Irked by her remark, Dabiri took to her Twitter page debunking the claims made by the presenter while calling for the orientation of the presenters (girls) of the television station.


“I worked hard to be where I am today, and if women nowhere your age and achievements feel the only way to bring you down is spew nonsense, they will meet their Waterloo!


“Nduka Obaigbena had better call these girls @ARISEtv ruining the broadcast profession to order,” she wrote.

The PUNCH had reported that Tiamiyu granted an interview to the BBC where he claimed that Nigerians seeking admission into school in the United Kingdom only considered it as an alternative means to escape from Nigeria.

Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom noted that most Nigerians were not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad.

He said, “The student route is more like an answered prayer. It is a big bracket that’s able to take a lot of people, the ordinary people”.

“We’re beginning to see that a lot of people just hide behind the studentship. So the student thing is not real, it’s not like they need the degrees,” he added.

Mtchew..

Where in her response did she say Nigerians are cultist / drug pushers? How does *YOU*, a singular pronoun translate to Nigerians?

If I say you’re a liar, does that mean I’m referring to all Nigerians?

Treasure17:

You in this context is singular? You will be fine.

Some animals. In Nigeria re just poised to silent other people. Including this Youruba harlot abike.


The tv presentation was correct

Idiot Buhari actually called Nigerians fantastically currupt

This cheap ashewo called Nigerians drug dealers and cultists

So is she asking us not to remind her or what ?

GeneralPula:
Abike Dabiri never called Nigerians drug dealers or cultist!

Buhari called Nigerian youth lazy, but he didn't tell UK not to give them Visa! Why would Buhari say such!

The arise TV will surely meet their water-loo. I watched the interview they did with Ben Ayade. 95% of what they dished out are lies! Ayade kept on telling them why would they not verified whatever info they've sourced?
