Kobolander:Wow! What a way to be "smart"! Quoting you: "She understands the intimacies of rushing to present evidences in high profile cases of this type" Again, wow! It means to be "smart" means entirely a different thing to you. Before making allegations against anyone, one must be sufficiently armed with irrefutable evifences, facts and figures. You don't "rush" to make allegations only for you to take eternity to present evidences. Your drama queen is not "smart" after all. @hotseat |

JimRohn:Legislators and Senators should be more diplomatic and engage in consulting to solve challenges not confrontational and exhibiting behavior associated with tugs. Her projects are clearly not in doubt, they are seen and known. That was not the reason for her challenges in the Senate. (1.) She was unruly, disrespectful, disorderly and disruptive in the Senate because her seat was changed. (2.) She made an allegation, on social media but not in court, of sexual harassment against Apabio (Senate President) but she is still to validly substantive her allegations. That is not fact. A fact is proven and validated She is not speaking the truth especially because Prof Mgbeke (Dr Sandra Duru) punctured all her claims and accusations on social media, especially her allegations of sexual harassment against Apabio. Till date, she has not been able to deny or debunk the counter accusations and claims of Sandra Duru. That was Natasha Apoti being manipulative, deceptive, mischievous and criminally assassinating people's character. That is not Natasha Apoti speaking truth to power. No body in the red chamber sees or recognizes her, she is sinking into oblivion already. I can bet most of her colleagues will prefer not to be associated with her due to her undiplomatic, confrontational, disruptive, disorderly, disrespectful and unruly conduct. Bad character repels good people. Again, she is a mother but not our mother, not Nigerians mother. You call it - "an outspoken, results-driven senator holding a corrupt system accountable". We call it dramatic and some episodes best described as Nollywood movie scenes. That is what I see of all her charades. Conclusion: If you have her ears, do warn her to become reasonable, diplomatic, apologetic and improve her communication and relationship skills especially with her colleagues. I hope it isn't too late for Natasha Apoti to thread softly otherwise, she may become a convict and even get jail term when the two other litigation cases against her are decided in the courts. |

SmartEnergyng:Senator Natasha messed up by trying to use blackmail to have her way. That’s the only thing she did that was out of line, which you failed to mention in your epistle. Don’t personalize this. Senator Akpabio may be innocent of the accusations, but he’s still everything that a senate president shouldn’t be. This senate house is still the worse. |

JimRohn:She didn't file any petition on her allegations until observers pointed it to her that it was a fundamental error to have not filed her case against Apabio before the Senate. It is on record that Natasha Apoti Uduaghan has not filed any case of sexual harassment against Apabio, before any court in Nigeria or abroad, till date. Check your facts. What evidences are you talking about? What evidences has she provided: can you itemize the evidences and quote your sources of the information? In everycourt, a person alleged to have committed an offense or crime is perceived innocent and called an accused until a court of competent jurisdiction convicts the accused and sentences him/her, then he/she is declared a convict. You can't sit there and declare Apabio guilty because you are not the court of Law. You can not rely on "her words against his words" to fault someone, she needs to present solid evidences or alibis that corroborates her claims. Please, the concrete and 100% proof is non negotiable in the court of law. Natasha has courage that you appreciate and extol, that is your opinion. However, what you describe as course is unreasonable, unwise and undiplomatic to us. At that level in politics, you need to be highly diplomatic and strategic. She has shown little of that and she can best be described as a misfit in the Senate. Conclusion: what is the truth that you understand? The person that seriously need to tender apology now is Natasha Apoti Uduaghan, I hope it isn't too late for her. |

This is outright delinquency on your part. You sponsored adverts , media houses, campaigns and a lot against the Senate for your recall. Now that you have been recalled you failed to resume . This is not against women in politics it's just a call for women / ladies to step up in their call to service to the nation . Convener - beta9JA |

CHAT GPT 1. Grandiosity & Sense of Self-Importance Senator Akpoti has publicly positioned herself as a champion of women’s rights, challenging high-ranking officials on the Senate floor. After claiming sexual harassment by the Senate President, she asserted: “I am not apologising for speaking my truth,” and framed her six‑month suspension as "an assault on democracy" popsugar.co.uk +15 theguardian.com +15 en.wikipedia.org +15 . Such bold self-portrayals and grand declarations are reminiscent of grandiose narcissistic traits—a hallmark of a heightened self-image and quest for admiration sciencedirect.com +2 popsugar.co.uk +2 vocal.media +2 . 2. Attention-Seeking & Need for Admiration By filing high-profile allegations and engaging in high-stakes public drama—such as the sexual harassment case and seating confrontation—Akpoti has drawn intense media scrutiny and public reaction . This pursuit of visibility aligns with the characteristic excessive need for admiration commonly seen in narcissistic individuals coursesidekick.com +15 en.wikipedia.org +15 vocal.media +15 . 3. Entitlement & Expectation of Special Treatment Her refusal to abide by Senate seating rules—continuing to speak without recognition and ignoring protocols—contributed to her suspension for "persistent acts of misconduct" en.wikipedia.org . Such behavior signals a sense of entitlement and expectation of favorable treatment or special status, core markers of narcissistic traits birminghamjournal.co.uk +3 en.wikipedia.org +3 reddit.com +3 . 4. Exploitative Tendencies & Manipulation Senator Akpoti has been accused—by forum commenters and critics—of making unsubstantiated allegations to gain political advantage. One Nairaland thread described her as a “serial blackmailer and a pathological liar,” asserting that she "accused public figures of crimes without evidence" nairaland.com +1 en.wikipedia.org +1 . This reflects tendencies toward exploitative or manipulative behaviour, which can serve self-promotion or political gain europepmc.org . 5. Intolerance of Criticism & Defensive Reaction When her claims were dismissed and she faced suspension, Akpoti strongly reacted—labeling the Senate a “cult,” appealing through the UN, and later securing a court overrule of her suspension en.wikipedia.org +1 theguardian.com +1 . Such hostile defensiveness in the face of criticism aligns with narcissistic rage: when a narcissistic individual's ego is threatened, they often react defensively or angrily |

adenigga:Well said! The Senate is not a campaign rally or a personal brand-building stage—it’s a place for serious national work. Senator Natasha needs to realize that viral photo-ops and emotional soundbites don’t translate into legislative impact. Nigerians are tired of theatrics; we want results. If she truly cares about representation, she should start by acting like a lawmaker, not a loud activist with a title. Enough drama—time to get to work or step aside |

Wallade:I'm looking at the fact, Senate Over-Short its boundary! as stated by the court, so why not use discretionary measure and recall her, having realized it, after-all, the court didn't restrain senate from reinstating her. I thing village attitude of those days is been imported to the of senate, because you see issues like this dragging with all manners of excuses, amongst 109 no body is speaking-up. if we must grow fast such attitude is not needed, rather, we should deliberately make use of any opportunity to resolve issues, and not always relying on Nigeria court that can drag simple issues for several months/years, which an uneducated elderly Man in my village can settle in few hours. |

correctyourself:The Senate didn't overshoot it's boundaries - the rules and regulations of the Senate is silent on the number of days, weeks, months or period a punishment could last on any senator. The court recognizes the power of the Senate to punish any senator. That is the fact that you should be looking at. She must serve her punishment and comply with the rules. Don't also forget that the Senate requested her to tender apology for her unruly, disruptive and disorderly behavior on that day. She has not does the apology till date. |

efemena5050:Your entire sermon only proves you’re more concerned with lecturing about ‘tone’ than addressing the real rot Natasha has been courageously exposing. Let’s get a few things straight: 1️⃣ Your so-called ‘objectivism’ is selective. You preach about civility but ignore the institutional injustice that forced her to fight back. If the chamber truly respected due process, there wouldn’t have been any need for ‘childish tantrums’ — yet you blame the victim while excusing those who provoked her. 2️⃣ ‘Fire + Water = Something’? Your analogy falls flat because what you’re suggesting is blind submission. Sometimes, when the system is rigged against you, calm silence doesn’t solve anything — it buries the truth. Natasha’s ‘fire’ is exactly why corrupt power brokers are rattled and desperate to silence her. 3️⃣ ‘Acts on impulse’? No — she acts on courage. If she waited for endless fake committees and manipulated ‘certified copies,’ they’d bury her victory and spin another lie. Her decision to assert her mandate shows resolve — not recklessness. 4️⃣ Don’t mistake spinelessness for wisdom. Your so-called ‘cranium application’ is just cowardice dressed up as ‘caution.’ Meanwhile, Natasha’s consistent stand for fair representation and accountability speaks louder than your pages of moralising. 👉🏼 Bottom line: You can wrap your patronising jabs in fancy Bible quotes all you want — but truth doesn’t bow to fake decorum. Natasha will keep confronting the hypocrisy you’re too afraid to name. |
| Re: Why I Postponed My Resumption- Senator Natasha by JimRohn: 2:23pm On Jul 09, 2025 |
Wallade:Your entire position sounds polished but falls apart under real scrutiny — so let’s set the record straight: 1️⃣ You preach ‘diplomacy’ but ignore injustice. When a senator is unlawfully sidelined, her seat moved without explanation, and her voice suppressed, she has every right — and duty — to challenge it directly. Diplomacy does not mean rolling over when bullied by a system protecting its own impunity. 2️⃣ ‘Unruly and disruptive’? Yes — disruptive to the status quo that fears accountability. Nigeria’s ‘Red Chamber’ is no shrine of decorum; it’s a hotbed of political games. Natasha’s refusal to play submissive puppet is exactly why she rattles those who hide behind procedural gimmicks. 3️⃣ Your ‘facts’ are conveniently selective. Her sexual harassment allegations were stated openly, and her legal team is handling them properly. Social media spin and your so-called ‘Prof Mgbeke’ distractions don’t erase the point: instead of facing the claims through credible, transparent investigation, the Senate leadership hides behind character smears. Why so afraid of due process if she’s lying? 4️⃣ ‘Nobody recognizes her’? That’s wishful thinking. She’s recognized by the ordinary people who see her tangible work on the ground — roads, schools, markets, empowerment — unlike the career benchwarmers you praise for empty handshakes and photo-ops. Good character isn’t meek silence while corruption thrives; it’s the courage to confront rot head-on. 5️⃣ Your jail threat says it all. When all else fails, you resort to intimidation — typical of a system that can’t win on facts, only on technicalities and power plays. If you were so sure she’s guilty of anything, you’d welcome open court and let the truth stand. Instead, you’re desperate to paint her as a criminal before any verdict. 👉🏼 Bottom line: Natasha doesn’t need your fake coaching on how to ‘thread softly.’ Nigeria’s problem is too many spineless politicians threading softly while the country rots. She’s not your mother — true — but her courage embarrasses the ‘fathers of the nation’ who have sold this country for decades. Keep your bet — Natasha stands tall, unbought and unbowed. Let’s see who history remembers: the woman who fought or the puppets who trembled. |

Lanruze:Repeating ‘get a life’ on loop only proves you ran out of real points the moment Natasha’s courage exposed your hypocrisy. 1️⃣ I’ll ‘get a life’ the day your type stops pretending you have the moral authority to lecture a woman doing more for her people than you’ll ever do with all your keyboard sermons. 2️⃣ You whine about ghostwriters and content creators while spending your own time glued here recycling the same tired insult — that’s the very definition of idle. Meanwhile, Natasha’s ‘content’ is roads, jobs, light, and real empowerment — far beyond your echo chamber. 3️⃣ Keep chanting ‘get a life’ like a broken record. The reality is Natasha’s work is bigger than your petty distractions — and her supporters will keep defending her integrity, whether you rant or not. 👉🏼 Next time, bring an argument — not a parrot routine. Now run along and try to be relevant for once. |

JimRohn:Go and download the event in the Senate on that day for better understanding. The Senate President wasn't the person that changed the seat physically, it must have been authorized by the Senate leadership and supervised by the chief whip or deputy chief whip. It is regularly done in the Senate for all senators especially due to decampings from party to party in the Senate, it is not that they targeted her. No one bullied her and no one is asking her to roll over the floor for anyone. The Senate is hallowed and esteemed chamber. Every Senator is expected to conduct themselves in orderly, respectable, distinguished and diplomatic manner, especially when in the house. She was unruly because her seat was changed. Because she felt her seat was moved to the back. It was not only her seat that was changed. No one is asking her to be submissive but we demand that she respects herself. Whatever issue she has with any house leader or her colleague, she can take it up outside the Senate or their private places but in the Senate, we demand that she respects the leadership of the Senate, especially the presiding officers. She can conveniently take the accusations to public space on social media but not to charge or sue Apabio to court. Which of these two moves will get her justice? The social media will whip up sentiments in her favor and get her sympathy but the social media will not get her justice, she can only get justice in a competent court. So why didn't she take the matter to court till date? Besides, ask her again: where are her proof of sexual harassment. The onus of proof rests on the person making accusations, even in the court of law. Her colleagues don't recognize or respect her conduct. She is sinking into oblivion already. Her constituents may recognize her but if she doesn't learn to get things done among her colleagues without creating disruption, confrontations, nuisances and throwing tantrums all over, she will not be relevant in the Nigerian political space. She has to learn diplomacy and effective communication skills. No one is intimidating her. It is simple: if you make fake and false allegations of sexual harassment against someone and the competent court find you guilty, that is tantamount to criminal assassination and defamation of the other persons characters, it also can be interpreted as an attempt to destroy the marriage of the other person, traumatizing his wife and kids, extended family and loved ones. Where it is proven in court that you went to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) of the United Nations, without the authorization of the Nation (Federal Government or National Assembly) to lodge false and unsubstantiated accusations of sexual harassment, misrepresent fact about the circumstances(reason) of your suspension from the Senate (alleging the narrative that you were suspended because you accused the Senate President of sexual harassment against you) and embarrass the Nation (Nigeria) in such an esteemed platform. That can be interpreted as treason and criminal felony. Her likes are disgrace to womanhood. Fathers of the nation don't see her anymore because she has lost relevance. She doesn't deserve any attention of the fathers because that seems to be what drives her fantasy. They have chosen to ignore her but we will see to it that she takes responsibility for her actions, she will pay the price for her offences, where it is determined that she committed those offences. Conclusion: I can't coach her, I don't even know her in person and I don't want to know or meet her in person. She should be schooled by authorities and facilitators in the disciplines that concerns communications, diplomacy, human relationship management, emotional intelligence, psychology and office etiquette. My bet remains on the table, we shall see. |

If using my skill to defend a woman who actually delivers roads, markets, and hope makes you uncomfortable — good. Unlike you, I don’t hide behind fake moral sermons while watching honest leaders get attacked by hypocrites. Keep stalking — Natasha’s impact will still outlive your insults. |
