Lady shares experience with Ibom Air
A statement by the airline revealed that the drama started when Comfort refused to turn off her phone.
As Nigerians analysed the issue, a lady identified as Itee Itoro Akrasi on Facebook shared her experience with the airline.
She said she had never turned off her phone while flying and proceeded to share her reason.
Itee partly said in her post:
“I have flown Ibom Air multiple times and never have I ever switched off my phone, Never also did I ever put the phone down throughout the flight because I used that time to edit videos or read articles. If Comfort put her phone on flight mode then you all are being really unfair! - (I'm trying to be nice with my words)
“To our moral polices and securities, Comfort was well dressed in that plane, she had a track suit and trousers on with her hair and hair band then the inner top. We all saw it in the video she made before the fyt.
“Now let me tell all of you who think because you wear bra and pantiies, you are very decent that you are just busy bodies who think the world revolves around what you've grown up to believe. You are highly judgmental!
Reactions trail lady’s Ibom Air experience
Eno Akpabio said:
"This matter is long. It's quite unfortunate. I was ashamed at their behaviour."
Happiness Hapad Njoku said:
"Exactly...even those that wear mini skirt, short gown to expose hot legs to look sexxy want to tell others what is decent and not, what is right to wear and not....Are they not the same?"
Churchill Favour said:
"Nigeria is so unfair to women, it it was a man they would never harass him like that. The hostess sef will be using soft voice for him. But she felt it was a young fine girl, and some matured women have unspoken beef with young girls."
Sophia Daniel said:
"Omoooo. I wish I was a lawyer, or a judge. I pity her so much. May God have mercy on us."
