This morning, I woke up to learn that the passenger, the young Ms. Comfort Emmanson in her twenties, has been banned from flying for life—once again showing how our system works, proving the truth of Anacharsis’ words that “the law is like a spider’s web: it catches the weak, while the powerful break through with ease.” There is everything systemically wrong and unjust about this authoritarian decision. What due process was followed over night leading to this sanction? Have we exhausted the avenues of justice and compassionate resolution on this matter? It is a tragic irony that a young lady in her twenties can be banned for life, while we—her parents —commit worse crimes against humanity and are celebrated; those in positions of authority perpetrate far greater offences that harm the nation deeply, yet move freely in comfort, shielded from consequences, and in Ms. Emmanson’s case, the authorities acted with lightning speed, but the same urgency is absent when dealing with the influential and politically connected. If this young woman, who indeed acted wrongly, now seeks to apologise, who will hear her cry in a country where the pain of the poor is invisible and the dignity of the less privileged is often disregarded? Justice must be consistent, or it becomes oppression in disguise. This must change. Justice must be equal for all. There must be room for compassion, for rehabilitation, and for understanding when misconduct stems from frustration or displaced aggression. Power must never determine who is punished and who is pardoned. May God heal our land. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO https://x.com/PeterObi/status/1955152035839381701?t=1UHazUIi0NLzRzAwG9WT-w&s=19 53 Likes 4 Shares (Share⤴) Re: Comfort Emmanson: The Poor Must Not Be punished While The Rich Walks Free - Obi by LagosOrigin: 7:54am On Aug 12 It should be equal rights for all Nigerians because this country belongs to all of us.

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 36 Likes 4 Shares (Share⤴) Re: Comfort Emmanson: The Poor Must Not Be punished While The Rich Walks Free - Obi by PulaPower: 8:54am On Aug 12 Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that in the ecosystem..
