PhockPhockMan: Was there any evidence or witness to prove she was not lying? If the delay was in foreign country, will she have protested through Twitter? That woman is liar.

EliteYouth: Dude, you clam to be smart and exposed but sincerely it does not reflect in your post, what has my household got to do with this? do you really need to be abusive to make a point ? expect you are venting in frustration, just so you know just this year alone i have traveled over four times and i know what i'm talking about, besides delay in the Airport is not just peculiar to Nigeria, all over the world 30mins delay at the airport its not a big deal, If you are really smart ask yourself this simple question? Why would DSS want to arrest or detain her? is there any sense in attempting to?

Sincere9gerian: Shameless liar. You keep embarrassing yourself with lies.

GEJ has been president from 2010 to 2014 now. That is 4 years. Simple arithmetics.

Omexonomy: chief demdemmorn the biggest and the most stu.p.id and idiotic fo0lish mor0n on plant earth how are you and ur fellow moronic supporters of APC minions

Omexonomy: sweery, in order to stop the carnage and the supporter of APC action of BH i will suggest you tell ALL APC GOVS TO STOP SPONSORING BH WITH THE FED ALLOCATION And start people orientatiön programme.

Greensaint: So insults & stupid posts are what show that you went to school. I wonder how you relate with your father at home.

PhockPhockMan: "I arrived the Departure Immigration Desk at about 7.15am and presented my passport and forms. The Immigration staff did his processing and handed to the SSS official."

Oby Ezekwesili.


Let's analyze this, she arrived at the Immigration department at 7.15 which is 40 minutes to the time she was already in the plane. We are all Nigerians, and most us here in nairaland travel outside the country by air. We all know that 40 minutes is little of a time when compared with time we spend on the same process in airports all over the world. Let's say immigration took 15 minutes, DSS 20 minutes while the remaining 5 minutes is for the process of boarding the plane. Where is the detention here? THE BOTTOM LINE is that Oby Ezekwesili came very late and wanted to bully her way but was not allowed. I'm shocked a liar like her is called a PASTOR's WIFE, So unfortunate.

ratiken: Whenever you start supporting a particular individual vigorously like you've done on this matter... there is always a political undertone in favour of APC.

With that alone, I can conclude that Oby is working against the federal govt.

EliteYouth: Dude, My post was scooped out from Oby Ezekwesili's twitter handle, i dont know where on earth you have been, but DSS spokes person Ms. Ogar said Oby was not detained as she claimed but she only went through a normal routine cheek, is she the first Nigerian to be delayed at the airport? why is she making an issues out of this, does it really make sense? why would she be stopped from traveling when they know how crafty she can be and twist things up? Dude, you just a huge victim of ignorance.

Dee60: This is a massive score. First of its kind anywhere in the world. The President meeting a distressed and displaced people inside the comfort of his palace! Not even in Maiduguri the state capital! What exactly is the problem with Nigeria? What exactly is going on? Do we know? Is BH that dreadful?

Demdem: Jonathan remains a coward. The fool supposed to go and meet them either in maidugiri or chibok. They are the "bereaved ". The bereaved don't go and meet those who will console them, it's the other way round.

EliteYouth: Rubbish......so well arranged as if it was planed................Oby and her Crew again are looking for cheap political points to score.

Demdem: Airport harassment, my story – Ezekwesili



A former Minister of Education and a champion of the #BringBackOurGirls Campaign, Mrs. Obiageli Ezekwesili, has narrated her ordeals in the hands of security operatives at the Abuja International Airport on Monday.

Ezekwesili was delayed for over 40 minutes by men of the Department of State Security, who harassed her based on “orders from above.”


Narrating her ordeals to members of the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans, to whom she is a trustee on Tuesday, Ezekwesili gave a blow by blow account of her ordeals in the hands of DSS.

This was contained in a statement by the CANAN Executive Director, Pastor Laolu Akande, after the former minister visited the group in London.

Akande quoted Ezekwesili as saying that, “I arrived at the airport yesterday (on Monday) to travel to London on British Airline. First, after the luggage screening section, I moved to the Customs people, sitting right next to it and do a more thorough bag search. Rather than they handling my luggage as is the practice, there were three SSS men, who rudely took over before they could do so, and ordered me to open my bag.

“I was travelling light, with just my hand luggage leather roll on and my computer bag. I placed the bag for them (to see) and one was already furiously frisking through it when the Customs advised that a woman be allowed to do it. She was allowed and she did it.

“She finished, zipped up the luggage and they said I could proceed. But I asked that the computer bag be also searched, and they did.

“I went on to do my checking and got my boarding pass, and was swiftly done. I arrived the Departure Immigration Desk at about 7.15am and presented my passport and forms. The Immigration staff did his processing and handed to the SSS official. Usually, their entire process lasts no more than five to 10 minutes on a passport. As a frequent traveller through our Lagos and Abuja airports, I speak based on experience and evidence. Even on the same day, the process for other travellers that I witnessed did not last more than five minutes. But on Monday, it became five, 10, 15 and 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 minutes for the Departure Desk processing for me, with no explanation given except “We act under instruction.”

Ezekwesili said after 10 minutes of waiting, she asked the officer why her passport was not handed over to her.

“He responded, “I am not doing this personally madam. I am simply acting based on instruction, and you of all persons should understand that.”

“When it was 20 minutes into the process, and with BA announcing the final boarding call for the 8am flight, the officer walked out of the cubicle, heading off. I followed him, asking where he was going without giving back my passport nor an explanation on why it was being withheld. His nonchalant response was “just wait. I am trying to help you”.

“It became evident that they withheld the passport to detain me at their departure desk in order to miss the flight. That was when I tweeted @ 7.37am “@obyezeks: Is this a democracy? I am being detained by the SSS @ Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The SSS has refused to give my passport to me.” At 7.41am “@obyezeks: On my way to London this morning for my @BBCHARDtalk appearance billed for tomorrow and the SSS has detained me by withholding my passport.”

“At that point, I brought out my phone to record him even as I asked for the passport. He got angry and charged at me that he would seize my phone. Then his colleague screamed at him a third time to handover the passport. He did,” she said.

stexsy: between u and this govt who peddles falsehood more? U r an embodiment of lies...no insult intended

gramci: You know I always Finnish you even with my eyes closed. I don't brag about it

Just like u are currently looking for an escape route nau eh? U gat jokes.
This isn't bragging but statement of facts highly verifiable.

175: You be confirm Akpa Amu!

But wishing me early death speaks much about ur hate, and absolute witdrawal from reality!

Are you the giver or taker of life? The very reasons people like you (APC e-rats) should be ignored cos you are delusional and bloody pigs!

gramci: I will let this pass because I refuse to descend to your level. Cheers

Gramfool, why are u playing holy here. Na today we just dey know ourselves? Na today have i been smashing ur miserable head?
Abegi take ur morals elsewhere and be urself jorrr.

gramci: It's just past 6am and you started spewing curses upon curses as usual. Are you this bitter for real? Did you sleep at all last night. Why not go for deliverance. The issue might be spiritual.

175: Idiiot, you know wat? Tunda faya you! Criticise GEJ constructively and not these name calling!
Honestly, d day wey I go catch you ehn, I go tear u hot slap!

Fool, where is ur criticism about other leaders being called names? U see nothing wrong with that but when Jonathan ur god is called the right names, u flare up. What an hypocrite u are. Na so the drunkard cocck sweet.
Fool, u are far beneath me which means if u eventually see me, u will have no choice but to bow to me.
Jonathan till ur early grave, deal with it.

stexsy: u r too dull n unintelligent. Lolzz

PhockPhockMan: But it's permissible for you and your fellow APC e-goats to make unsubstantiated claims against the Federal Government abi?

If not that I'm the OP of this thread, I would have quit the thread never to return, stupidt and evil crowd has invaded it. Mtcheeeeewww.

PhockPhockMan: Those girls interviewed was hired. Period.

Arnoldo: y dis one dey look mirror dey follow himself talk

Arnoldo: no no........i believe it is not staged....bt it cld be staged because in d history of us if i cld remember opposition in us once used iran to kidnap us citizens jst to bring down d present gov..........nd wit wat buhari said about making nigeria ungovernable for him...i dont blame her for saying dat

PhockPhockMan: Mumu, have you ever wondered why none of the so called escaped girls interviewed so far by CNN and BBC can't speak common English, don't they teach in Chibok? I smell rat.

OliverPin: Very Good... These APC gods attacked Jonathan specifically for the incident, do you read el rufai tweets. He is not anti-governemt but anti-Jonathan. Any slight news(weather confirmed or not) they take it up and call Jonathan lots of name. That makes thomas like me feel its all just to discredit Jonathan for 2015 election. And again, if you were around on NL during that period you'd see numerous thread calling Jonathan names. Demanding specifically that He(PDP) brought back the girls instead of they(Government-APC and PDP) many more I cannot write. If a bomb goes off in USA the opposition party(ies) don't react like this. They see it a a comon enemy but opposite was the case. They saw Jonathan as the enemy.. On the other hand Jonathan has done so many tinz to counter them since the adoption which I cannot start saying(space and time). The man too is a bigger nuisance for all I know...... I am not a PDP or APC supporter don't mis-judge me. I hate Government in General cos they are all corrupt and we pay the price for their selfish games. But until these parties learn to work together everything they do is just games.

edoyad: You are the one sounding daft. A Nigerian Politrician using something so sensitive to score cheap points.
I'm tired of all these riff raffs and their gimmicks. She has her agenda and I know it's not about the girls. She is just diverting attention from the issue, rescue of Chibok girls.

May God punish all those that exploit children like Boko Haram for their twisted propaganda. I guess Jonathan plan to meet ghosts now?
