No na! Saner clime! Saner clime! Saner clime. So someone should just wake up without proof and say someone harrassed her and they should tell the person to step down? That would be a tool every opposition interested in a seat will start employing. Let’s not project things because it doesn’t concern us directly. If this man were your uncle would you ask that he steps down without any evidence being presented? Forumites: |
I think the explanation is clear by the ethics committee chairman. Natasha lodged the sexual complaint with the court that is the judiciary arm of government. She can't lodge the same complaint with the legislative arm of government again. He said because of the separation of powers. Natasha was already billed to apperar before the ethics committee for misconduct in the house when her seat was reassigned. And the court had ruled against the appearance. But he also said because of the rule of separation of powers, the judiciary cannot dictate to the legislature. So it isn't the fault of the senate but Natasha who would have filed her report first with the senate ethics committee if she wanted prompt hearing. x Fiscus105: |
It was his way of saying his government was gender inclusive. His wife mentioned this during her press conference. Chrixtopha: |
He may be randy. Sexual assualt is on another level. Most randy men do so by consent. When you say “No”, they move on. Saying a randy man made advances at you is noted, but saying he sexaully assaulted you is another. Just so you know: I don't celebrate “randyness” and neither do I applaud any sort of sexual vice. Pickieox: |
He probably didn't do all you said because he didn't think there will be an alleged case of sexual assault. Especially if it was consensual. No man will assault a woman like Natasha without her consent. She has to enable it for it to happen. If you doubt it: look at her and Akpabio again. Tightpussy2024: |
She are short-sighted. Only seeing bertween your eyes. Because she came out to cry foul means she is a decent woman who honors her marriage? Interesting! A man sexually assaults you once, you didn't tell your hubby. He did it again, you still didn't tell him. The question you should answer is why?? Did she ever tell you what her response to Akapabio was when he assaulted her?? Did she?? The sexual assault only became an issue because when her seat was changed and she overreacted, she was to be disciplined. Am I making mild sexual assault? No! I am saying that ladies should stop weaponiing it. It makes light of the secual assault. Natasha didn't see the sexual asaault as an issue until things didn't go her favor. That's my point. If her seat wasn't swapped in the Senate would we hear her outcry? How are we sure that there wasn’t something between them that turned sour and the whole fight afterward is the outcome of a relationship gone sour? Now, she is a hero. I’m too smart to be given to sentiments because I don't like Akpabio. We have seen women bring false accusations against men over and again and I should just swallow this because Natasha is a saint ![]() Natasha didn't tell her hubby she was sexually assaulted by his friend?? As a matter of fact, she didn't want him to know as implied by her AriseTV video. Didn't mention it even after he asked her. Who or what was she protecting? Now, she is a women’s right advocate that I should celebrate when everything she has done smells or ulterior motive. No transparency. Like someone who running things behind her husband. If you people refuse to see beyond the face, don't fault those who can. And yes! I am a very noble lady not given to sentiments. Heffalump: |
Seriously You sure she is fighting tyranny Truth is most times we don't know why people fight. We only know what we see. The real reason is right there. If Natasha was harasses once and again, she enabled it. Like you have observed, she is a courageous woman, men hardly harsss those kind of ladies unless they enable it. Charly68: |
He is a randy man? Ok. My support is for neither. But Natasha isn't a wise lady. You don't win a battle to lose a war. It is wisdom to lose a battle to win a war I’m scared for men who are just—- men who are truly chaste. I fear for them. Because this trajectory of weaponizing sexual assault isn't the way to go—-that’s if there was an assualt in the first place. Natasha doesn't look like someone that would be sexually assaulted and would not cry foul immediately. Unless, the “sexual assault” was favoring her. She didn't tell anyone about the assault when she could have handled it immediately. She didn't tell her husband. She didn't tell anyone. Why ![]() She wanted to handle it on her own. For a man to assault you once and again, it means you enabled him. This man was her husband’s friend. He never warned him to stop or she will have expose him and see if he continues. If he shuts you up on the senate seat because you said NO, then you threaten him to behave or you’ll go public. Natasha is smart. She could have recorded the conversation and tell him to do his bid and he would have played game. But you didn’t. A “sexual assault” continued and would have continued until they moved your seat as ordered by the senate president. Then, the sexual assault became an issue. Chucks13: |
The lady didn't speak up when something was at stake. The way Natasha went about the whole issue is naive and void of wisdom. Who says Akapabio may not be complicit? True, may is the way she went about it wise? Don't tell me she is fighting for a cause. I won't agree with you. She was asked to move seat, which was wrong of the senate because they should have told her first. No matter how long they have been doing that to themselves it isn't correct. But defying the order of her leader by shouting in that manner is not correct. And when you are tackled, she remembered you were sexually assaulted. Something that she didn't even tell her husband according to her Arise TV interview. So it wasn't even an issue. Then when you are to face a committee for suspension you ran to AriseTV and remembered Sexual assult. Please, Nigerians you don't have to like Akpabio. I don't like him either. But we shouldn't encourage people to weaponized sexual assualt. It is selfish. quote author=Profound001 post=134405370]You all talking trash here, have you forgotten a certain lady an MD in NNDC, couple of years complained about Akpabio's harassment up to a point she had to slap Akpabio. Take a look at the below link and think twice why you must defend and extol evil. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ADpcoGbNv/[/quote] |
Nope. The case in court is for defamation not secual harassment. She hasn't lodged that yet. She sued Akpabio for the comment made on Facebook by his team that all she knows is to use pancakes and wear transparent clothes. quote author=enambobo post=134405246] Which case? The case in court is sexual harassment and not indiscipline or disregard for Senate rules.[/quote] |
Does Natasha look to you as someone who can be harassed sexually except by her consent? You check am. A lady that from the first day she entered the senate she owned her own. Men only assualt women who cant expose them. Women that can't own their own. Not every woman can be intimidated. Natasha that fought for her right before she came onboard the Senate. Akpabio isn't that stupid. Plus, she is his friend’s wife. If anything had gone on between those two, I can almost say that Natasha enabled it and for selfish reasons—to blackmail the SP. As much as I’m not a fan of Akpabio, Natasha is a snitch. Weaponizing sexual assault that she enabled. She isn't innocent. All Natasha would have done is go into Akpabio’s office with a phone to record his sexual assault and warn him to stop or she will expose him. Case would have closed since. If she didn't do this, the Natasha that I am seeing is because she was playing game. quote author=ugodson post=134404896] They never sleep with your wife or girlfriend before and is your close friend tha did. Thats why your mouth is shape[/quote] |
Why call Obidients into this? Even Senator Ireti Kingibe didn't support her approach to this. Must everything be party or ethnic based in your perception? Cherrybae: |
Some things are just clear to see, but as Nigerians we are just carried away by sentiments. We think Natasha is for the masses and Akpabio against thr masses so we pitch our tent with her not taking the pain to see through her allegations. Why would a married man(Akpabio) continually assault his friend’s wife(Natasha)? What made him so confident that Natasha won’t report him to her husband( who is Akpabio’s friend even before he married Natasha) Natasha could have threatened to report him and even threatened that she has recorded his advances to her and would show it to Mrs Akpabio. Natasha is smart, if she didn’t enjoy the assault and wanted it to stop, she could have. If it continued, it is because she was enabling it—perhaps, to use it as a tool against him to do her bidding. In the end, she only cried foul because things didn’t go her way. So those trying to make it a women’s right infringement are choosing not to be discerning. Natasha didn’t cry out because she was fighting for change. She cried out because she was called to order for her unruly behavior in the house which was highly televised. And to save face, she had to weaponize the sexual advances— if there was any. Some persons are just wired to having their way and they don’t care who they bring down doing just that. If Akpabio sexually assaulted her and she didn’t indulge him, she wouldn’t need a displacement of her seat, to call him out. Bigchief46: |
I don’t think your outburst is necessary—seriously. I’m not an APC ally. I don’t have any connection with Akpabio, either. It’s true the guy in question often pushes his loyalty to the roof. And so that may have instigated your anger, but critically analyze the Natasha Akpabio saga. It has nothing to do with APC or opposition party. This is about discerning the Truth. Akpabio may be guilty but one thing is certain: Natasha cooperated with him. No man will continually sexually assault a married woman without a form of consent. Particularly, his friend’s wife. (Yes! Natasha’s husband (Akpoti) and Akpabio have been friends before he married her) The real question is why did she hide it from her husband. Not once did she think she should tell him or did she confront Akpabio to stop. Why? So she didn’t think too much of the advances from Akpabio until it didn’t favor her. She only screamed about sexually harassment when her seat was changed and it wasn’t just unique to her. She could have dealt with that issue. But No! She wasn’t happy that Akpabio would dare change her seat after he said he likes her. So she chose to use something as serious as a sexual assault that she enabled to gain leverage. Don’t let someone push your head into a fight that isn’t yours because you can’t discern. A woman who isn’t enjoying the advances from a man won’t wait to have her seat changed to complain about sexual assault. It simply means the issue wasn’t the sexual assault. Richlolly: |
Senator Natasha: Beauty and Brains — But Wisdom Deficient? Let’s be honest — Senator Natasha doesn’t care about the cost of rice or garri in the market. That’s a fact. So let’s not be naive when we see attempts to instigate women to carry placards, rallying around her as if this is some great fight for women’s rights. This is not about justice — it’s about an agenda. If Senator Natasha was truly about the people, we would have heard her voice when Senate President Akpabio casually spoke about bad governance or made light of the rising cost of living. But we didn’t. Not a word. The only time Senator Natasha spoke up was when the Senate decided to discipline her for flouting internal rules — suddenly, she remembered the sexual harassment allegations against Akpabio. Let me be clear — I have no alliance to Senate President Akpabio. I do not undermine sexual harassment. I frown at it. Yet I frown more at those who weaponise it. Now, let’s also call a spade a spade: what happened with the seat reassignment was wrong. It was disrespectful. They reassigned Senator Natasha’s seat without informing her — and that was the bone of contention that led to the commotion. It doesn’t matter if that’s “how it’s always been done.” That approach is flawed. I actually relate to Senator Natasha because I’ve experienced something similar. There was a time I attended a program in a church I belonged to, and as a member of a prominent unit, I arrived early and took a seat with the unit, waiting for the program to start. I had attended rehearsals leading up to the event, so as far as I knew, I was exactly where I was supposed to be. But just as the program began, I noticed some unit members whispering, and then, someone tapped me and pointed to the leader of the unit. I looked towards him, and he didn’t speak to me directly — he just used his hand to gesture that I should leave. No explanation. Nothing. I kept wondering why I was being asked to move — especially since the program had already started. The auditorium was packed by then, so I had to walk to the back, embarrassed, looking for a place to sit — still unsure of what had just happened. It wasn’t until the program ended that I went to the leader and asked, “Why did you ask me to leave? I attended rehearsals. What happened?” That’s when they told me — I was under suspension. I was shocked. I asked, Suspension? What did I do? They said a mail had been sent. A mail I never received. A mail I never acknowledged. So there was clearly a lapse in communication. But here’s the key difference: Even though I was embarrassed and upset, I didn’t cause a scene. I didn’t shout or disrupt the program. I waited until after the event ended to seek clarification. And yes — I was hurt. Later, I sent a text message to the leader expressing my frustration — a message they felt was too harsh. Because of that, I was summoned by the leadership of the unit. But despite the tension, it was handled internally. We resolved the matter within the structure — without public drama. That’s the same approach Senator Natasha should have taken. The Senate has internal conflict resolution mechanisms. Instead of escalating the situation publicly, she could have: 1. Addressed the seat reassignment privately through the right channels. 2. Expressed her frustration without causing a commotion during the sitting. 3. Pushed for justice internally first before going to the media. But she didn’t. She went straight to Arise TV — not because she wanted justice, but because the system no longer favored her. That’s not how you fix a broken system — that’s how you burn it down. Let me address some issues the Senate commotion drives home. 1. Loyalty Doesn’t Mean Burning Down the House Let’s talk about loyalty. Loyalty isn't about taking nonsense from an institution or person. It is about dealing with nonsense with sense. Burning down a building because there are cockroaches isn't loyalty — but recklessness. Why burn down when you can fumigate first? Yes, Senator Natasha is in the opposition, but opposition doesn’t mean recklessness. The Senate may have issues, but you don’t tear the institution apart because you’re upset — you work within the system to fix it first. By running to the media, Senator Natasha didn’t just attack Akpabio — she dragged the entire 10th Senate Assembly into the mud. Now, instead of being seen as a woman standing for justice, she’s part of an Assembly that’s being ridiculed as chaotic, disorderly, and unserious. That’s not a win. It’s not a badge of honor. It’s a stain — on both her and the 10th Assembly. A Married Woman Who Values Her Integrity… Here’s another thing we must address: 2. Senator Natasha is a married woman. A married woman who values her integrity and does not condone sexual harassment would have spoken up immediately when it happened. Not months or years later — and definitely not as a reaction to having her seat reassigned. If Senator Akpabio had indeed harassed her, the wise thing to do would have been to confront him directly: “Stop this nonsense or I’ll report you to my husband.” Let’s not forget — Akpabio was already friends with her husband before they got married. She had a powerful, direct route to warn him. If Akpabio continued despite the warning, then the next logical step would have been to report him to her husband. If he still persisted, she could have escalated to Senator Ireti Kingibe — a respected female senator and leader in the Senate and her “mentor”. And if all else failed, she could have formally reported him to the Senate Ethics Committee. By the time she went through all these channels, she would have built a solid case against Akpabio. Her claims would have carried weight because there would be proof of multiple attempts to address the issue before it became public. But she didn’t do any of these. Instead, she tied her sexual harassment allegations to her seat reassignment — making it seem less about justice and more about retaliation. What happened to all the people she could have involved to mediate and protect her space in the Senate? She didn’t use them because, let’s be honest — the sexual harassment wasn’t the issue. She didn’t present any proof that she wasn’t complicit or comfortable with the situation until it became convenient for her. It’s hard not to wonder: was she truly harassed, or was she simply weaponizing the narrative because she was losing favor? Then finally, let’s look at: 3. The Truth vs. “Your Truth” At the heart of this is the distinction between: • The truth and • Your truth. Your truth is about how you feel — your pain, your anger, your experiences. But the truth is about wisdom — knowing how to channel those feelings the right way. If Senator Natasha had pursued the truth, she would have: 1. Addressed the sexual harassment when it happened. 2. Raised the seat reassignment issue through the proper Senate channels first. 3. Used her husband’s relationship with Akpabio to mediate. 4. Corrected the system without making a public spectacle of the Senate. But instead, she blurred the lines between fighting for justice and fighting for attention. And now, the 10th Assembly is known more for commotion than for change. In Conclusion Here’s the truth: Loyalty means addressing wrongs the right way — without tearing down the house you belong to. Justice means standing firm — not conveniently switching narratives when the tide turns against you. Wisdom means knowing that timing matters — and that a just cause can lose its weight when pursued recklessly. Senator Natasha didn’t fight for justice — she fought because the system stopped favoring her. That’s not the same thing. Let’s be wise. Shalom.

Where is Obaseki, how? Didn’t he finish his two terms? What do you guys call betrayal? For Christ’s sakes, no state belongs to any former governor. This ain’t done in democracy na. Why are we like this? Does everything have to be papa and pikin based? No institution grows through godfatherism. Make your mark and let others lead. Let governors and presidents choose who they aspire to be like in leadership style like we see in the west where they aspire to be better than the best of the best of their leaders. We should stop enabling godfatherism. It places a huge demand on the state. Servicing these godfathers is at the expense of the populace. Let’s wake up! highchief1: |

Well said.

This is the problem with this country..no one is asking Mercy Eke where she got the money from or who bought her the vehicle,you ,you are online here doing tribalism, happy that a girl with no known source of income bought a Lamborghini and no one is asking questions of how she got it ,no company,no industry.. nothing to explain how she got the money from or who bought it for her and the person should explain how much tax he or she has paid to the Authorities,none,EFCC is quiet FRIS is quiet LIRS is quiet and una wan make Nigeria be like America where you can't be driving such vehicle without explaining the source of it. You blaming Yorubas that they are envy Mercy Right..no worry ..I hope you saw what happened in the east where close to 30 dead bodies were retrieved from a river mostly young girls ,some with private part removed ,breast removed etc ..and you are here supporting and been tribalistic about a girl buying a Lamborghini that most actress in USA does not have .[/quote] |

Dear Nairaland, You are not reflecting my posts because it isn’t applauding Wike? Interesting! Do platforms still do stuff like these? Please, feel free to not just delete my post, but my handle as well. I truly don’t care. The truth must be said. Now, when people attend burials, they should consider that the dead were once the living. No man is immortal. Yeah! That was to Mr Wike. P.S: Feel free to delete again. quote author=CapitalLens post=134361148][/quote] |

You didn’t hear how much she has tried to push the Ajaokuta stuff but Akpabio didn’t allow it to be read. Then she had to meet him privately and he said she should make him happy and it would get audience? These are the reasons she claims she is being intimidated. Komu1048: |

Please, this is not scripture you quoted here. When Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman, what did He tell her? John 4:18 New International Version The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband…” Why did Jesus recognize all the marriages she ventured into and called the men the Samaritan woman’s husbands except one? Regina is married to Ned. They are not sin partners. Their marriage is recognized under the law and traditionally so you can’t say they are committing adultery. Every woman that marries him knows that he is going to marry more wives so technically, they already gave their consent. So it isn’t adultery. Adultery is a sin against your partner. So even when you seem forgiveness from God, you must seek forgiveness from your partner. You commit adultery when you indulge in extra marital affairs and when you don’t get your wife’s blessing on taking another woman wife. This isn’t the case here. We saw in the Old Testament how Sarah gave the go-ahead to Abraham to indulge in sexual relations with her maid. That isn’t adultery. His wife gave consent. The first 5 commandments in the Ten Commandments are sin against God. The other 5 are sins against your fellow man. In the case of the Samaritan woman, “the man that you are now with is not your husband” signifies a sin partner. Because nothing contractual was done. I know you genuinely love the Lord but please, learn to do an exegesis of the word so you don’t keep quoting scriptures out of context. Shalom. Righteousness2: |
With all this your grammar the question is: does Ukraine have what it takes to retaliate? The US have been bankrolling their war against Russia not even Europe. Isn’t it wisdom to calculate the costs before you keep pressing against your enemies?. It is your lot that set them on this journey in the first place. Now they have started building with no cement to complete it. The Europe you are gingering with all your grammar, you think they don’t know what it takes to support their own or speak against America? They do but they can’t. Because they are either broke or selfish—minding their business. That’s the same position America wants to take—-putting America first and not spending money recklessly in a war that they aren’t profiting from at the expense of the American people. Russia is the bigger party here. So it is common sense to liaise with them or rally around them to see how the war will end. People are dying in droves in Ukraine, why not compromise for a ceasefire and then go back to yeh drawing board and recook something? It is wisdom to lose a battle to win a war. The Ukrainian president just needs to know that. Everything in life is not gragra. Namaster: |
The Bible clearly states that the borrower is servant to the lender. This is a pure case of it. Don't sell your birthright over porriage. Nothing is actually ever free. America has sponsored Ukraine war against Russia and now, thry are at their mercy. A real lesson for everyone. LegacyB: |

. She even went ahead to add the Senate to the law suit, just imagine such missap from a so-called lawyer.
