VDM AND MR. JOLLOF

I had just boarded a flight and about to take off when I was tagged to a video post about a rage incident between VDM and Mr. Jollof, two social media influencers who should know better than the unacceptable behaviour and subsequent gloating video made by one of the individuals.

Because the aircraft was about to push back for taxiing, and I needed to switch off my phone, I quickly asked the poster for two basic details so that I could quickly forward a screenshot to our CPOs to investigate and get me details which would help me do my job on arrival at transit airport.

I just arrived at the transit airport to find my comment riddled with chaotic insults and labels by people who think that asking questions of the same social media folk who I attend to, day and night, on social media, is an aberration.

I will ignore those insults for now.

Procedurally, the airline should report the incident to the NCAA, and my department would forward to legal for advise and appropriate action/advise.

Since I have not received such a report yet, I will say this before I board my connecting flight:

There is no tolerance for unruly behaviour aboard an aircraft. Both individuals will face the full strength of the law. It is even more shameful when one considers both of them partners in educating their millions of followers to avoid unruly behavior.

While waiting for information (I have reached out to our staff for details now that I am on ground), one wonders if the pilot had both passengers deplaned or if they were flown to destination. If it was the latter, there will be consequences.

The actions of both men put the safety of all other passengers and the crew at risk. It also put the safety of the aircraft at risk.

The NCAA has exerted a lot of energy and resources in educating passengers about the dangers of unruly behaviour and its consequences.

In this case, no matter what led to the fracas, there is no excuse that makes it acceptable.

Subject to the speed of information, I will put out a proper statement before boarding my next flight. Otherwise, I will do so on arrival at destination.

You are right.

But it does not happen in the exact moment that the incident occurs. First, aviation security must deboard and arrest both passengers and taken to the investigation room.

After questioning, a decision is made to prosecute them. Prosecution is not instant.

What could happen faster is the airlines placing the unruly passengers on a no-fly list, and even that would happen after management meetings, debates, and action.

This event in Asaba just happened. I was boarding a flight out of Nigeria when the report from an X user got to me. As soon as I landed at the transit airport, I made calls. I have been informed that both passengers were deplaned (this is good) and taken to interrogation room.

I have asked why the airline has not forwarded an incident report and I am told that they are presently in a management meeting. This is normal, too. Even abroad.

What I can assure you is this; the NCAA will do its part. Our officers in Asaba have been tasked to find and report the exact actions taken by aviation security, pilot, and other personnel. This may go beyond just the two passengers. How long did it take for security to arrive? How long did the incident last before the pilot called for security, if he did.

If the passengers were arrested, are they still in detention? If they were released, why?

When all of these are decided, appropriate ramifications would be dished by relevant agencies.

I must note that the NCAA does not have prosecutorial powers. The Authority, as with previous cases, would surely advise the airline to blacklist the passengers and write the AGF and the IGP to prosecute the unruly passengers.

Your post is not wrong per ramifications. It is only that those ramifications cannot be dished out on the spot. Action will be taken.

This fight no make sense atall. I love VDM so much and I'm a Ratel fan but he for no condescend this low to fight. Anyways, it's good for publicity sha. Number one rule to maintain relevance is "always give people give people what to talk about, be it good or bad".


What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Next thing is to make them ambassadors nau

I wouldn't be surprised if this was planned, anything to trend these days.
But who do we blame but NCAA who made KWAM1 and KWAM2 ambassadors rather than making an example of them. This is the result.

No prosecution should take place in this case

After all kwam 1 was not prosecuted

There is this popular saying, whatever is done for the Israelis must be done to the Gentiles

Since I have not received such a report yet, I will say this before I board my connecting flight:

Watery beans loading, lessons need to be taught 📌💯

Hope what is good for Mr A is also good for Me B

And the aggressor should be punished

VDM should known better, na him set ring light talk plenty during KWAM 1 incident.

Now his detractors and haters have legit point against him. I'll wait for his video after this lol

Who was the aggressor? humans have an instinct to defend.

Those guys better go hire a driver for long distance travel or they just restrict their business to their states.

They deserve a travel ban.

Nigerians and ther love for making foolish people famous shaaaaaaa🤢

Imagine if the flight was airborne,aborting a crash would have been more difficult but as usual,the argument will be about who is for or against who and certainly not about the the outcome of this irresponsible act.

The ratel movement is all about supporting bad behavior... what do you expect from a movement where 98% are illiterates 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sack Keyamo first before dealing with this people

Double post, kindly ignore thanks

So...based on past behaviours of the NCAA, that would mean Aviation Ambassadorship for the 2 of them, right?

Right?

VDM is flight risk to people he's not in tune with. He needs to be banned from flights. What a disgrace

Why would they fight?

Pathetic!

Nigerian Awiation Authority should ban them both

emiye:

VDM was the aggressor. Threatened to slap someone way older than him and approached him to physically assault. I won't blame Mr. Jollof for throwing the first punch. Delta boys no fear nobody.

christistruth01:
Kwam1 was on ground

This was in the Air

Plane was still on ground on this case. They were deboarded before the flight took place.

2 hediots. They should ban them
And this VDM dun finally enter the hands of politicians he has criticized in the past. They will make sure he gets the deserving punishment.

Right?

That only applies if you are friends with the supreme leader and can sing sycophantic songs. These ones will be placed on flight ban.

GrammarNazi1:
Why would they fight?

Pathetic!

Adult-KIDS displaying as public nuisance.


Shout-out to all chess players earning via online.

Thank you bro very reasonable question.

emiye:

Yen yen yen.


Write-up filled with loquaciousness yet saying nothing.

Nothing will happen to them.


Nothing at all

VDM finally fallen into the trap of some top government officials.

They will use this to frustrate VDM

Ratels are dogged, never say die fighters, like your leader. Is he exhibiting good publicity by fighting on a commercial plane?

VeryDarkMumu is not wise for fighting on the aeroplane because he can be banned from flying for a period of time and he will have to contend with bandits and kidnappers on Nigerian roads
