Read This Interesting Tweet Between Abike Dabiri, Ezekwesili and A Nigerian Youth
Category: Nigeria News
A former Minister of Information, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has knocked the
Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, over a
Twitter reply by the NIDCOM boss and she RESPONDED.
Dabiri-Erewa
had called a tweep ‘Ode’ (a Yoruba word for foolish person) while responding
to the tweep’s comments about her.
Ezekwesili, who described the
response as “messy”, asked Dabiri-Erewa to “clean it up”.
It all
started on Monday when Dabiri-Erewa threw more light on a fracas that occurred
at an Indian university, which also had students from Nigeria.
Dabiri-Erewa partly said, “Calm has returned to the campus. A few
injuries were recorded, and further investigations are ongoing. The Nigerian
mission had made it clear that the Indian authorities would be held
responsible if anything happened to any of the students.
“There is
already a written commitment by the Indian Authorities to protect our
students. Any student feeling threatened should please report to the Nigerian
mission in Delhi immediately.”
In the comment section, a tweep
identified as @sensegiver1 said, “She should go to Indonesia and see how
Nigerians are treated. Mumu (slang for foolish) woman supporting a failed
government. She’s equally part of the failure. Eye service!”
Responding to the tweet, Dabiri-Erewa said, “Ode! You go to Indonesia, carry drugs, do cultism, and come begging to be rescued from death sentence . Thank God for NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency) now saving people like you from death row.”
Reacting to the NIDCOM boss’ comment, Ezekwesili tweeted on
Tuesday, “Dear Abike, What is this? Kai. This is messy. Abike Dabirie clean it
up. Quickly. Please.”
Dabiri-Erewa, in her response to Ezekwesili
said, “I’m done on this. But out of respect for you, I will ask, ‘Clean what
up?’
“It’s okay for some untrained, uncouth guy to refer to me as
‘mumu’, and I can’t call him ‘ode’. I’m not a public official that cows to
bullying, please.”
