In Nigeria, if a poor man offends the powerful, justice is instant — a truckload of Mopol, thugs, and vigilantes is dispatched without delay.

But now, a female senator has accused a fellow senator of sexual harassment, and the silence is deafening.
• No word from the Minister of Justice
• No investigation from the Senate
• No statement from the Judiciary or Presidency

Suddenly, the same system that punishes the poor without trial becomes shy, careful, quiet — because the accused is part of the elite.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just hypocrisy, it’s complicity. And the world is watching.

Soon, a U.S. or European journalist will ask the Nigerian President:

“What actions were taken after this public allegation? Has it been investigated? What protections are in place now?”

And what will the reply be?

Silence here equals guilt. Delay equals shame.

This scandal won’t die. It will grow, and when it goes international, it will haunt Nigeria’s image.

Act now — or prepare to answer under brighter lights.

Is Natasha a poor woman? Women should build their character and stop using emotions to attract sympathy.

bdon12:
Has her claim been investigated?

Did she honour the invitation to be heard?

I think is for sale . It's not bad . The country is hard. All the best o

Didi2d:
What is going on now might cause divorce between her and her husband.

I am not sure she listens to her husband

No wonder she's been many times.

datola:
Chai.

What if Akpabio is not found culpable at the end of the day.

With evidences

If the IPU chairperson was a man Natasha and her foolish sympathizers would have said it was bias response. I think the woman response is just to discharge her . Infact Natasha derailed from the discussion of the meeting.

Fubara is winning 2027 election.

Useless wicked soul. Let him rot in jail.

Kill them before they repent

When u see a man talk too much , his fall is close.

DMerciful:
Wike talking too much. He's gonna ruin himself

Can't u see the way he's drying up . He's always fighting. He has no peace within.

I had a severe toothache that virtually took my peace away.I stayed awake all night with excruciating pains, rolling on the floor and shedding tears like baby. My gum got swollen which eventually made my cheek swell. Omo I wan die. I once heard the pain is close to child bearing and I want to believe because of my experience.

I went to a general hospital but seeing the queue I decided to visit a private dental clinic. I removed it and got my life back..

PlasmaTV:
I've never met an adult who is as garrulous as Reno.

Chochocho, always looking for relevance.

No he's not looking for relevance. He's looking for daily bread. He has mouths to feed.

When rivers burns it will touch wike , fubara and people of rivers.

I won't judge you. Life can be unbearable.I pray God surprise you soon. It is well.

The most important is a woman who gives you peace. A virgin can still be claiming " I know my right to her husband.

If it's real congratulations.. virginity isn't written on the face .

GBPUSD:
He didn't call back for over a year to explain his own part to me. How is it baseless?

Are you one of them?

May be that's what u do . U suspect people of what you do.. mumu

This allegation is baseless though.

Women can be single and successful. Don't go Into marriage if you have issues with submission. Happy Birthday to her.

ugodson:
Dint know why you people are useless like this.
They can't give judgement like that they are just being wise, they will need to hear from the other side of he coin bro.
Their system is not a one sided, they WOULD LISTEN to both side to confirm who to side.
Think bro think

You are still on same page with the guy na.. why u mumu like this?

ZombieDredd:
always supporting evil...

they need to hear the other side...

did senate bother to hear her out?

U r not updated at all . Why was she suspended? Because she failed to show up before committee on ethics to hear her out.

essentialone:
Recent reports have surfaced regarding a purported legal dispute between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and her husband, Emmanuel Uduaghan.
A letter from Indemnity Partners, dated November 19, 2020, suggested that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had engaged in a legal case against her husband over allegations including breach of promise of marriage, poisoning, financial loss, and indebtedness.
According to the letter, Emmanuel Uduaghan made persistent amorous advances to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, promising marriage. She allegedly accepted these advances after he assured her of marriage intentions.
The letter mentions that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was involved in significant business ventures, including a N7 billion NDDC and SMEDAN project. It alleges that Uduaghan influenced her to cease pursuing these ventures, except with his approval.
The letter said Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan experienced an ectopic pregnancy, leading to the loss of her left fallopian tube and ovary. It further alleged that she suffered physical abuse during this period.
The letter stated that when Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan became pregnant again, Uduaghan allegedly insisted on an abortion. It claims that he conspired to induce an abortion by serving her a poisoned meal, which led to a miscarriage.
The letter includes claims of financial losses and demands for compensation, including repayment of a N400 million loan and N10 billion for various services and damages.

She's a serial blackmailer

IBB007:
Lol…this woman just dey disgrace her husband upandan sha…I’m sure she doesn’t listen to the man

Someone who is probably in her 3rd or 4th marriage. She gets issues walahi

God bless IPU. Natasha thinks they are Nigerian women who are moved by sentiment. She should build her character not seeking false justice everywhere.

Men shebi una dey hear. Don't go overboard for any woman. She will forget.

She didn't mention when the going was good . Women forget the sacrifices you make for them. Now he's broke and good for nothing to her.

Men are still falling victim for this?

emkz:
I suggest she writes to the EU, US and Saudi Arabia because this is a serious issue.

It is clear that this woman does not weigh her actions carefully before taking them.

1. There was a case of Akpabio holding her hand and showing her round his house and scratching her palm with his fingers. He then proposed to her in the presence of her husband that they could be coming there for "quality time". She said she didn't tell her husband the details nor report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 1.

2. She said when she visited Akpabio in his office to complain about her motion being stood down, Akpabio said as the chief presiding officer of the senate, he'd take care of her if she took care of him. She didn't report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 2.

3. On a routine day, she was re-allocated to a seat and she started quarreling when she refused to take her seat after she was told she could not speak from where she was. She said she was being silenced and was speaking for the Nigerian women. She could have simply moved to her new seat and made her contributions from there. Mistake number 3.

4. She answered a call from Brekete where she said the new seat they sent her to would hide her from the camera and she won't catch the eye of the senate president. That was a silly thing to say. Mistake number 4.

5. She went on Arise News and made claims of sexual harassment. That was her biggest mistake. She could have first made a report to the ethics committee and leaked it to the press. By doing a media appearance, she allowed those she was fighting prepare an ambush.

6. She then formally filed a petition against Akpabio on sexual harassment. It turned out to be improperly filed according to the senate red book, Order 40, sub 4. That exposed her as being unaware of parliamentary processes. Her colleagues ripped her petition to pieces. Mistake number 6.

7. Mistake number 7 was taking Akpabio to court over an infamous facebook post by Akpabio's aide where the aide said she wore transparent clothing and walked seductively in the senate. I am no fan of Akpabio, but he is not liable for what his aide wrote. His lawyers would argue correctly that he be excluded from the case.

8. Mistake number 8 was obtaining a court order to stop her probe. That could have given her ample opportunity to give cause to her conduct which could have allowed her cite the sexual assault issues and give evidence. By citing the cases, she could have put the ethics committee in trouble because their hands would have been tied.

9. Because she allowed her colleagues see the battle she was waging before sge waged them, they could prepare their counter-attacks.

10. I think going to the inter parliamentary union undermines her case. The IPU has no supervisory powers over Nigeria's senate and can do nothing to discipline Akpabio. What she'd accomplish is rubbishing and embarrassing Akpabio and her colleagues. Many of these people are already persona non gratae which makes her action self-defeating.

What she can do now is to take time out, listen to those who genuinely care about her and find a different tactic to fight this battle. She should forget about getting justice from this senate. My recommendation would be to file a formal petition in court or code of conduct tribunal against Akpabio and fight it till the end. Akpabio can be docked.

What do u expect from a woman who had been with 3 different men in marriage.. that speaks volume about her character

She's in severe pain. Next time you humble yourself to obey the rule of the house. That's why she's been jumping from one marriage to another.

DonBenny77:
Shut your mouth a serious accusation was made, in developed countries Akpabio would have stepped down for proper investigation. How can an accused be a judge over himself.

Serious accusations without evidence? Na u mumu pass. Beside she was suspended for failing to show up before the committee set up to listen to her.

jeff1607:
Are sure? 4 kids for 4 men?

She had been married up to 3times with children... It speaks volumes about her
