Standing infront of an aircraft is akin to holding passengers hostage.

Standing in front of a moving plane is not akin to holding passengers hostage.

Obi too like clout chasing abeg. No be every matter u go dey seek to use achieve political score.

There's class and hierarchy all over the world,and even in developed world, there's always a preference for the wealthy over the poor. Did k1 assault any of the airline crews like the psycho girl did, slapping an adult airline crew member.

So make Obi rest abeg.
Imagine what you are writing. You are practically justifying the abnormality of justice being lighter on a class while heavy on another. We are all Nigerians and it seems we deserve what we get. People that make an effort to highlight or change those abnormalities for our own good we rubbish and attack them. The sowore that led a protest of retired police owed pension was still brutalised by the same police. Obi has spoken of this glaring issue of the law having different weights for rich and poor yet you call it clout. Are you a kid not to realise the anarchy this is likely to cause, the damage to society, a breakdown where justice is selective. Look beyond your nose, you could be the one affected tomorrow, abi are you in the higher hierarchy (using your words). Tomorrow it is you guys that will shout "common man" is oppressed when injustice comes close to home.

KWAM 1 act was more dangerous and shameful. It was a nationwide embarrassment, but, uptill now, no serious sanction where even the pilot has been ban allegedly for life, days later, they're banning a lady who is a nobody without fair hearing or court hearing. If the lady has a good lawyer, she might just have a case here cos we've only heard from one side

The justice system must be equal to everyone
You are right

Justice for BOBRISKY

There are things lions, tigers can do that sheep’s, antelopes dare not try..

You wanna enjoy life? Strive hard to become a lion/tiger/hyena..

Obi is actually diagracing himself up and down in the name of playing politics. I don't know if he ever watched the video of what that woman did before writing this nonsense he wrote. The woman physically abused airport workers and air hostess.
If you own a company and somebody walked in beat up your workers, I ask him if he will keep quiet.
The other two cases he referred they did not touch anybody.
Re: Comfort Emmanson: The Poor Must Not Be punished While The Rich Walks Free - Obi by Kog45(m): 9:29am On Aug 12, 2025
I respect Peter Obi but he need to ask question before making any comments...who took Comfort to court?FG or Ibom Air?Ibom Air..... another question has Valuejets charges K1 to court?No...Federal government cannot act on behalf of Valuejets but good NCAA already informed AGF and IG on K1 case,so let's wait and see......

Thhis is truly sad. Nobody has even heard Ms. Emmanson’s side of the story before such a severe punishment was decided. Justice should listen before it judges, and compassion should guide our actions. I hope she’s given the chance to speak and be heard.
What else did you want to see and hear with the way the woman was physically abusing people?

1) It doesn't say anywhere in the law that what Kwam1 did is an act of terrorism as others erroneously said.

2) The law says hinders or impedes, Kwam1 did not hinder or impede a moving plane, the plane never stopped when he was in front of it, instead he was almost crushed if not for how he quickly moved himself.
Re: Comfort Emmanson: The Poor Must Not Be punished While The Rich Walks Free - Obi by tinsel: 9:32am On Aug 12, 2025
Obi is calling a woman who can afford to pay more than 200k to fly and beat up people as a poor person. This is quite disgusting . The woman is simply a lunatic and nothing can justify her act.

In simple terms Nigeria is a jungle not a civil society. You see your life?

For the records, I'm totally against Obi presidency.
Where is a civil society? Where’s is located?

In USA, Joe Biden pardoned his son!

Can an average American Man with a son in jail pardon his son?

I agree with HE Mr. Peter Obi.
Justice must be fair to all, regardless of status.
We will get there surely!

Is that not the job of the court
To determine allegations?
Who are you to say whether or not he impeded
It is an allegation that is the job of the court
I am not here for online trial

Allegations were serous enough to warrant a 6 month ban from flying for Wasiu and need to be determined by court
The question is should he have been arrested and charged to court
He may be acquitted and we don't have unnecessary discussion about different rules for different people
Just like we had when BOBRISKY was jailed and Cubana settled

This man is becoming a daily nuisance just because of his faint hope of becoming president. He's so idle that he reacts to everything. Other opposition members are not this jobless to jump on every topic.


Such a person can never be president in a sane society
Thats because people like you dont want to see thr injustice he is pointing out, until it happens to you

Be wise, and focus on the topic next time, it's not by force to quote me when there is nothing meaningful to type.
The joke is on you. You tried to disparage a man for speaking against injustice, or how did his defending the lady translate to tribal!sm? Hoping no one speaks up for you when you need it. Very pathetic soul.

https://x.com/PeterObi/status/1955152035839381701?t=1UHazUIi0NLzRzAwG9WT-w&s=19[/quote]That lady was assaulted, humiliated because she is a nobody. Justice must prevail, as what aviation law said the air hostess can prevent her from disembarking. Why was she dragged down. We are really unjust culturally if we support the abuse on her, which law said life of no flight is the punishment. A former lawyer usurping the power of the court. Equity has no place in us as a society. Thanks to Obi for give and honest reprimand.
