I am not calling you names. My problem with you is that your position on this Natasha vs Akpabio matter is anything but objective. Your posts are still there for anyone who wants to read them.

None of us was there when these alleged interactions took place. We have the woman's account of what allegedly happened, and the man has not spoken up so far. Best for us to keep an open mind and avoid taking sides prematurely. For some reason however, you have gone after this woman with a battleaxe. Is there more to it?

I am simply and objectively looking at the issues as she presented it:

Natasha created a drama with Tantrums and shouting incident against the Senate President, she used derogatory and disrespectful statements, and she behaved in an unruly and disruptive manner on that day. She was removed from the house.

Then she was refer to a disciplinary committee and she came up with accusation on Arise TV today that the man has been suppressing her, targeted her and hinder her because he was flirting and trying to harass her sexually by flirting with her in December 2023 and February recently.

I listened to her events description and I found some holes in her story:

She never disclosed these flirtatious moves to anyone, her husband even asked her a couple of times but she didn't open up, according to her.

It was nothing to her then, according to her, but it suddenly became something after she exhibited such unruly and disruptive and disrespectful behavior on that day. It became something when her matter was referred to disciplinary committee.

She could have reported the incident to the disciplinary committee of the Senate when she alleged that Apabio flirted and sexually harassed her again in his office in February. But she didn't and only had to make those allegations on Arise TV.

I think she set out to blackmail the Senate President, despise him and put the Senate at disrepute. The Senate is bigger than the both of them and never have we seen this kind of allegations from a senator to a Senate President.

Is this behavior expected of a senator?

Is she the only female senator there that the Senate President wants to knack her pekus?

Is there no better, matured, civilized and official way to handle sexual harassment that she could have engaged instead of this shameful drama, unruly and disruptive behavior she has exhibited?

Sequel to this allegations at Arise TV now, the Senate President should also face a disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations. I hope she has enough evidence against him and she is free to sue him to court for Sexual harassment too.

Now, how does that sound like I am pitching my tent with the Senate President? How does that mean I am not objective or being sentimental like you guys?

Even if it is eventually established that she was sexually harassed by the Senate President, does that justify the behavior she exhibited on that day? We should excuse that behavior on the floor of the Senate because she has been sexually harassed in the past, before that day, that no one was aware about?

Can you listen to yourself?

She can't fool me

God1000:
Donald trump should go to hell, he's a big embarrassment and a disgrace to his office, you don't talk to another president that way

Trump is a vile bully, his behaviour was appalling, Zelenskyy has shown strength and dignity that trump could only dream of

I don't know what Donald Trump thinks he is?

What if these children are supposed to do exams or mid term tests etc?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Not true.

Your criticism was not limited to her outburst on the floor of the senate over the matter of seating arrangements. Your post is still there. I did read it before I quoted you.

Quote what I said, if you don't understand me, so I can explain.

Is this the nonsense you want us to tolerate down South West?

Ojuntana:
You should be locked up among wild pigs

I am not a wild pig like you. I am a sane and civilized human being, unlike you.

bluebay:
May your wife be bleeped by her boss then let’s hear you cry

May it be unto you as you wish me. We shall see how you will handle it too.

My wife respects herself, her carriage and dressing does not invite such flirtatious moves so I don'think any of her bosses will ordinarily try that with her.

However, in case it happens, I expect her to confide in me otherwise, I would strongly believe she was gonna play the game, if I find out later.

Ojuntana:
Dimwit

You belong among cows

You should be with the Kasongo folks too - bush pigs - roaming the wild and dirty mud.

Isn't a court affidavit suppose to triumph in any case and have a solid legal backup?

Abi na me deh overestimate court affidavit since?

O think it is strong but if there are evidences that negates it, then it can be nullified

Ojuntana:
You're a dull rabbit just ribbiting aimlessly
What attack a woman saying her own side of the story
I'm sure you're an agbado dunce

Smart Rabbit, how are you doing there?

Did you call me Agbado dunce? I wish you the same.

Idiot!

Ojuntana:
Keep quiet
Akpabio has a case to answer

Did I say Apabio has no case to answer.

You are senseless

Zulu11zulu:
When you want EFCC to do their job they will go mute,

They are busy harassing innocent Nigerians and do if they don't know what is happening between wike and Supreme Court judges.

Wike using our taxes money to buy judges, he beuld house for judges just for them to favor him.


If EFCC fail to investigate them then something is wrong with them.

Here we go again

Owologbo:
Close your mouth if you lack the ability to think.
Hiring stupid people like to defend rubbish online should criminalise.
If you have sense, you should be demanding for their voice calls from their network provider.
I'm sure your empty brain didn't take you to where it's written that he called her severally at odd hours.

You that have sense, demand for the call logs now. Is it too much for you to demand? In fact, since you were there all night when he was calling her, just present yourself as a witness to it naaaaa.

Idiot, na my position dey pain you abi? Don't worry, u never see anything.

Since you just woke up, quickly find some snippet to drink if my statement dey pain you too much and you just can't take it.

You will be the next person Natasha will accuse of sexual harassment.

She spoke well, I am impressed.

Xisnin:
If Akpabio goes down(a political fall), you are going down too.
There is nothing to prosecute in such ambiguous statement even with evidence.

Where is the threat exactly unless political grandstanding is now a crime.

My brother, you know lawyers can interpret all kinds of things, na for court they can establish threat or otherwise.

That is the reason I assumed that she was probably right to allege threat.

Natasha matter tire me abeg!

efemena5050:
If ur sensible and cultured enough u will understand the concept of self opinion. I gave my point based on my discretion u this unfortunate being decided to insult me for the opinion I made as though I directed my post to u.Now ur talking about parental upbringing.like I said check ur life and tell me if ur living .this faceless forum is giving u impetus to even talk to people ....ur a worthless, nitwit with so my forms of indiscretions......check ur self na Useless person ........learn this: leave people to their opinion. vile piece of rag

Idiot, you are still talking. Shey you said you want to do me something. I expect you to have carried out your threat instead of just talking thrash.

Is it not obvious that your parents either did a poor job raising you or you suddenly unlearned the proper training and chose to be wayward.

Who is unfortunate between you and I? Your parents wasted their effort to make you responsible, cultured, mannered and respectful but you turned out to be a shame and despicable being. So much that you can't even come through with your threats.

You should thank your stars that you are on a faceless platform like nairaland.

Chest beater; Idiot.

Anuofia!

efemena5050:
this the problem with faceless forum. A lowlife that don't even have anything to offer will just spill gibberish at u for stating ur point without making any recourse to him.....pls who r u?
Do I know u?.....be careful before something unfortunate happen to u......y the insult?
Did I channel my opinion to u?......Am I not free to make a statement........seems ur tired of living this ur worthless life.......

What do you have to offer?

See this unfortunate soul, you want to do something - what can you do - idiot.

Did anyone stop you from being stupid or foolish? It is only our responsibility to point uour stupidity to you and hope that you stop.

It is up to you to stop being stupid

efemena5050:
just like the the mother that gave birth to a waste like u.....check ur life and tell me if ur living.....As if I even directed my write up to u

Let me add that you are not well trained, your parents either did a terrible job at raising you or you became wayward due to environmental influence. You are a pevert, damaged and uncultured kid in adult body, unfortunately it is too late to re-mould you.

If I not living, would I respond to you in the first place.

People like you are just passing through life, life didn't train or mould you. That is why you are such a waste and an idiot!

loffyloffy:
This is Terrible journalism from the Arise news crew, see how they are rudely interrupting the senator , I assume because her answer is different from their expectations.

It is really dissapointing

I have always known that they are oftentimes unprofessional in Arise TV

professorPABX:
I am just hearing that Reno OMOKRI was also accused of making advances to her at a function during Jonathan regime. She must be sensitive to her beauty .

Refusal of advances is not an excuse to disrespect the man and the institution he represents. That is too childish. It is only little babes that behave that way for people to know the man has made advances to her or to show people they are bedmate.

What beauty? Is that character Beautiful?

DemonSlayer:
What sort of journalism are they practicing in that their channel. You'll carry your leg go for interview they'll be busy trying to control what you say as if they want to beat you, then immediately try to twist whatever you say into something sensational that'll make headlines. Nawao for this journalists.

The presenters on that Arise TV station are actually rude and unprofessional several times.

efemena5050:
Women remain their own enemies......among all the senators who the foolish nature of akpabio this foolish woman was the first to come out and inverlidate her owns genders claim .....women can never support themselves bcus of hate and jealousy.....women are more in number than men in Nigeria but for one woman to come and contest u will never see any woman voting for her.......

You are the foolish and senseless one here

CreativeOrbit:
You need to take your medication regularly.

Mr Fake-Doctor, kindly take your medications too before advising or recommending drugs to me.

MrDoGood:
I can see that you're dumb and not smart.

Really, that fits your description. Maybe you should look into yourself for the dump and stupid man.

Ignoramus!

Xisnin:
She spoke up because she is scheming bastard who is looking for Akpabio's good grace.
The issue isn't about who follows or doesn't follow rules, it is whether Akpabio harassed Natasha.
Whether Natasha is an armed robber, kidnapper or what have you is irrelevant.

Guess the number of mushroom women groups who have also come to Akpabio's defense?
Someone is obviously running a PR.


You don't even know how the senate works.
Do you think senators are expected to be personal friends who hang out privately?

The only way to avoid the female senators is to resign from the senate!
Even in the most wokiest country, no sane person will take such a decision.

Let alone Nigeria where you can get away with anybody.
Nobody will refuse to vote for Akpabio again because of the allegation and
neither will it affect his political career.

Obviously, you didn't watch the video, it is attached to the article so play it and listen.

Senator Ireti doesn't sound like someone scheming, she was put on the spot by Natasha that she knew about the sexual harassment and senator Ireti just defended herself by baring it all. Why would you be insulting and calling her terrible names because she told her story as she knows it?

Why wouldn't Senators hang out and spend time with each other privately? Why can't they be personal friends? There is no rule against that.

If you listen to Ireti, you would hear her saying the four (female) senators are quite close. She even mentioned herself severally visiting Natasha at home, at an instance she was even offered food and they dined together. She also mentioned another female senator visited Natasha at an occasion, she even said she was speaking for all the female senator so that should inform you that everything she said to Arise TV, the other female senators already discussed and agreed about it.

So please don't misinform us on nairaland and stop insulting Senator Ireti for telling her side of the story.

neutralmind:
Even if it's true. Ireti should be more sensitive

How sensitive? Can you explain?

Xisnin:
Kingibe should have shut up and not get in the middle.
Not one senator has jumped to Akpabio's defense.

If Natasha accused another member of harassment, I would have asked for
evidence but you see Akpabio's women issue is an open secret.
If you know, you know.

She had to speak because she is a woman like Natasha. There are about four women in the Senate like she said.

If other male senators speak about it, the Nigerians supporting Natasha would say they want her pekus too.

In fact, most men in the Senate will now be avoiding the female senators before they will make allegations of sexual harassment against them

Fiscus105:
Can Ireti explains order 10 of senate rule for us.

The Order 10 that stands as SOS.... No matter where you are in the senate, that Senate President must allow your voice to be heard first.

Even if they want to change Natasha seat, why changing her seat to extreme rare side, where she would be "almost" completely cut off from scene in national assembly.


I won't surprise if Ireti start using yanch to attend international conferences and seminars.

You want to lecture a Senator about the rules of her house?

your last statement just shows that you are mentally unbalanced.

You see how stupid you are

liver123:
what consequences are you talking about. Nonsense. Infact we deserve the kind of leaders we have in this country

Wait for the consequences, you will soon see it.

In your life, know this and take it, whether you like it or not:

For every action that you take, there will be consequences: You are only responsibile when you take responsibility for your actions and face te consequences.

That Senate is not entirely a lawless place, they have rules and where there are rules, there are punishments when you break the rules.

That is sacrosanct., whether you like it or not.

janeedema:
And if what she says is true It should be swept under carpet because it is a non-issue, right? Ladies who have turned down flirtatious men can easily understand her plight. Often, it comes with hostility from them. Maybe bruised ego.

I am not saying she is saying the truth but I am not dismissing her stance either.

The drama that has ensuring e between them clearly shows there is no smoke without fire. Are they the only ones in the Senate?

Did anyone say it should be swept under the carpet?

There are civilized ways to take up such matter and you are expected to nip it in the bud early, not when you have become unruly and disruptive in the Senate and you are now throwing that card that he has been flirting with you.

Why did she not inform her husband when it first happened, allegedly? The husband had to ask her twice, on the way home and even in bed, according to her and she kept insisting that Apabio didn't say anything to her.

Why did she not report to the police and write the Senate President through her law firm to warn him to desist from flirting with her? That would have been an evidence of the flirtations trail today.

Why didn't she officially report the Senate President to the ethics Committee of the Senate on that day she went to his office and he made that statement?

See, we are no fools. She can't take me for a ride with her shenanigans.

CreativeOrbit:
What a moronic statement!!! Why do you people like to grasp at straws instead of accepting your folly and learning?

You mean to have me fooled and sentimental like you?

If my opinion is moronic then that would make you unintelligent and it indicates you should probably not be on nairaland.

In case you don't know, every one is entitled to their opinion on nairaland, however offended you are about it.

I guess that is too complicated for you to comprehend, idiot.

gbigbega:
You only get this type of response when you are talking with people who denegrate women and have been paid to slap down reasoning because of some money paid into their account. Please lets be respectful. So she is embarassing the senate when she alleges that the senate presidents flirts with her - what kind of society and mind bending keyboard worriors are here on Nairaland.

You can put your own coloration to my statement, I don't care. Call me a woman denegrator or whatever, I honestly don't care.

I can't respect a woman who has chosen not to respect herself, a senator at that. A senator that wouldn't even keep her unruly, disrespectful and disruptive behavior to her house, she had to bring that behavior to the Senate. That is who you want me to respect?

There are civil manners to handle sexual abuse or harassment from any man, including the Senate President, but not to drag the Senate in mud and embarrass the Senate because you want to allege that you have been harassed.

Is the harassment her reason for the disrespectful, unruly, disruptive and unbecoming behavior she exhibited in the Senate on that day?

You want me to excuse that behavior because of respect for her?

You think I am being paid by PDP, APC or LP or whatever party?

Is this about party to you?

Who cares about your party in the Senate? Are all of the senators and representatives not acting the same way in the various houses that I will call someone saints and some devils?

The LP senators and representatives that promised to be different before election are there doing the same things and behaving the same way in terms of embezzlement, corruption and treatment to Nigerians and here, you think I am loyal to a party or one of the politicians.

The Senate is not a place for radicalism, unruly acts or disruption. There are several approach to achieve your desires in the house without being unruly and disruptive or giving in to sexual harassment.

She has to face the consequences of her unruly, disrespectful and disruptive behavior in the Senate, if it is suspension, so be it. I will not respect Natasha as long as she continues to be disruptive, unruly, uncivilized and lack decorum.
