The words in the image below are those of the senator who had an almighty spat with Mrs Oby Ezekwesili. The former minister appeared to think that Nwaebonyi and nwa boi are interchangeable and that entitled her to speak to the guy like he’s an oso ahia. Of course, Nwaebonyi refused to be castrated by the glowering Oby and gave as much as he got or a likkle more.
While doing so, he kept reminding all and sundry that he is a sitting senator, as though it is alright to shoot insults at anyone aside from a sitting senator. He could have stood up to be a standing senator. I think he’s more pained by the fact that he was insulted, very unfairly, as senator, not as a human being.
The evidence of that is what you find in the attached image. He thinks he is a few streets ahead of Ezekwesili, who was a minister. I suspect he’d have no respect for her or anyone who has never been in public office.
Oby has also continued sprinkling bilge all around by inanely flipping Nwaebonyi’s refusal to be treated with the dignity of a garbage bin as reflective of men’s disdain for women. She has conveniently forgotten she instigated the explosion of rage. She probably remembered, but thought that flecks of anointing from her church’s 100-day fasting would stun Nwaebonyi into speechlessness. Women, she obviously thinks, are entitled to lavish hugs, fist bumps, back pats or the quasi-poetic “your waist will make good movements” when they say “shut up; you’re a hooligan” to men.

I doubt Oby wouldn’t go bald with anger within minutes if she was told to please shut her gob and got called a hooligan by a woman. If a man did that, she’d have been belching tanker fire-size flames.
Back to Nwaebonyi. Something is wrong with the guy. Natasha, he went on to say on TV, isn’t one of Nigeria’s most beautiful women. I disagree with that because she looks 10/10 to me and we can have a lengthy debate, but I wonder why this had to come up at all. A little worse also came up and for which the Senate needs to take him to an eye clinic. He described Natasha’s complexion as “chocolate colour”. Iyen Natasha to pon bi oole aawe? The guy na maikafo.
