There was heated exchange between Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi of Ebonyi North and former minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili during a senate hearing for the alleged s#xual harassment petition filed against Senate President Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The exchange was at the National Assembly during a session on the Senate committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Relations.
Senator Natasha was represented by her legal aide, Abiola Akiode and petitioner Zubairu Yakubu.
The confrontation started when Yakubu attempted to speak while Committee Chairman Nedu Imaseun was still speaking. He was asked to mute his mic. But when Oby Ezekwesili tried to intervene,he was cut off abruptly by Senator Nwebonyi.
Irritated by his outburst, Oby Ezekwesili chided him saying;”Comport yourself and stop making noise”.
Her admonishment provoked an angry response from Senator Nwebonyi who retorted back;”shut up your smelling mouth,look at you, You’re a fool at 70 what do you mean? Why are you talking to me like that?,I will not take it,you’re an insult to womanhood , people like you cannot be here”.
Oby Ezekwesili replied; ”You’re a disgrace to the senate, you cannot violate my rights, you’re a scoundrel,I am not a hooligan”.

This senator should be removed. Gush!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGbam! A disgrace to the Senate...in short this Senate na same WhatsApp group dem be.
DeleteIn all his years, he cannot achieve what this great woman has achieved 💪
Is it not funny that you are angry about his response but have no problem with her 1st calling him a fool, she went on to call him a scoundrel and a hooligan.
DeleteShe is not denying saying it but all you activist wannabees can see is that the man is at fault.
@18:26, use recommended glasses 🕶️ to read next time.
DeleteThe newebonyi is so mannerless. See all the outbursts just because someone asked him to stop making noise
ReplyDeleteImagine calling her a fool at 70 later they will say Natasha is lying.
ReplyDeleteOur leaders disgracing themselves for the whole world to see.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are in same WhatsApp group.
DeleteThis current senate has made a name for themselves in the negative.
ReplyDeleteHonestly negative is an understatement sef
DeleteDisgraceful lots
It was really disappointing to see. 😠😠😠
ReplyDeleteYou went into someone’s house with the intention to intimidate him because you think so highly of yourself, tell him to shut up unprovoked and expect that he will keep quiet because you are a woman? This woman needs to learn self respect. She carries herself like a hooligan sometimes and it’s unbecoming of her personal and political pedigree.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know that her intention was to intimidate him, can you hear yourself? Do you think the senators response was cool? Haba now. The way some of you think sha.
DeleteShe didn’t go there to be a witness or she would’ve agreed to be under oath. She went to intimidate the senators and even told one of them to shut up unprovoked. When Nigerians like one person and hate the other, you never say the truth so I’m not surprised. You hate the APC and it’s not that I like them but because of that, you refuse to say an obvious truth.
Delete14:07 do you know why and what made Dr. Oby Ezekwesili to tell Senator Nwaebonyi to 'shut his mouth'?
DeleteYou could tell an an adult , "Don't be silly" because of a consistent unbecoming behaviour.
It was actually Nwaebonyi that started the name calling - he called Dr. Oby Ezekwesili a fool, a whore, a hooligan and a disgrace to womanhood.
She responded that she is not a hooligan rather he is the hooligan, scoundrel and a disgrace to the Senate.
Senator Nwaebonyi is a tout. On ARISE TV, he was also verbally aggressive towards the female interviewers and could barely control his emotional outbursts. Very pugnacious in communication ❗🤦🏾♀️
This is not ordinary anymore
ReplyDeleteMaybe the devil has put the spirit of confusion in their midst so that they won't do their jobs and they will use the time they can use for something productive to fight and argue and querrel
What were they doing before, let that confusion continue because they’re all clueless. See representatives na tueh!
DeleteYou tell a grown ass man, sitting senator to shutup on live tv without provocation?
ReplyDeleteWere you there to determine that there was no provocation?
DeleteHoly moly!
ReplyDeleteI feel irritated reading this.
I don't wish to watch it rah-rah.
They will soon start throwing blow o..
ReplyDeleteNa wawawawa ooo
Hello iya Boys
Chika o 🤣🤣 E no dey hard dem to fight o 🤭
DeleteOnly God knows the kine shege his wife will be seeing from him at home
ReplyDeleteThe senator was so harsh with his words, so rude. Nah waaa
ReplyDeleteUseless man with mouth odour.
ReplyDeleteI pity his wife.🤧
These adults hennn! This is shameful.
ReplyDeleteKai! What a mess! What kind of senator is this?
ReplyDeleteI see everyone blaming the senator but this woman told him to shut up first, she started it. Double standard is very real
ReplyDeleteI don't know why the narration up there isn't as it happened
DeleteTelling him to shut up was as prompted by his combative words.
DeleteYou thought Dr. Oby Ezekwesili just said, will you shut your mouth for nothing?
Omo, I can only imagine what goes on in this mans house. Omo!!!!
ReplyDeleteOmo, I can only imagine what goes on in this mans house. Omo!!!!
ReplyDeleteSet of shameless adults. These are the people that make law for us in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteI watched his interview on Channels where he said she told him to "shut up" or was he lying
ReplyDeleteAuntie Oby’s choice of words may not be appropriate but senator nwaeboyi overreacted to say the least. The emotional intensity with which he replied was disproportionately excessive and can be equated to histrionic personality disorder.
ReplyDeleteThey are all public figures and should know better than to be found in the gutters. Unless “nature has set upon itself to bring them to decline and dissolution because they have survived their usefulness” (William Graham, paraphrased).
I loved the way mama treated him like a baby crying for his toy! She gave him an icy treatment while he was barking all over!
