Businessman Surprises Ibom Air’s Comfort Emmanson with iPhone 16 and Contract
Comfort Emmanson, the young woman who became the center of attention after her clash with airline staff on an Ibom Air flight, has received an unexpected turn of fortune. A Nigerian businessman, known as Oga Uby, has offered her a brand-new iPhone 16 Pro Max along with a four-year brand ambassador contract under his logistics company, Tubex Logistics.
The announcement drew reactions online, not only because of the high-end gadget but also because it symbolized support at a time when Comfort has been in the eye of controversy. Uby explained that the gift was to replace her lost phone and to give her a fresh start, while the contract would provide her with steady income and recognition as the face of his company.
Comfort’s story had earlier taken a dramatic turn when videos of her refusing to switch off her phone on a flight went viral. The situation escalated into a physical altercation with the crew, leading to her removal from the aircraft and a stint in detention. The case quickly divided public opinion, some condemned her actions while others felt she was unfairly treated.
The matter gained even more attention when Ibom Air slammed her with a lifetime ban, a decision that was later overturned after pressure from the Minister of Aviation and growing public sympathy. Her eventual release brought relief, but the saga left her in the spotlight as one of the most talked-about passengers in recent times.
Now, Oga Uby’s intervention has shifted the narrative. Social media users have praised the businessman for stepping in, with many describing his gesture as a reminder that a person’s lowest moment doesn’t have to define their future. Comfort herself expressed gratitude, calling the gesture more than she ever expected and thanking him for believing in her despite the backlash.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
