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.

Social commentator Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has once again dragged the Dangote Group into the spotlight after yet another accident involving one of the company’s trucks. This time, the victim is a 22-year-old graduate, Precious Olurotimi, who had her hand amputated after a crash that has now sparked anger and calls for justice online.

VDM, in a strongly worded video, accused the company of turning a blind eye to the reckless behavior of its drivers. According to him, Precious, a fresh graduate of FUNAAB, had her dreams cut short because of negligence. He alleged that representatives of Dangote Group once visited her after the incident, took photos, and never returned to follow up or offer real help.

This new revelation comes only weeks after another heartbreaking case, one that involved the younger sister of reality TV star Phyna. She was also hit by a Dangote truck, a crash that led to the amputation of one leg and placed the other at serious risk. That incident generated massive public outrage, with celebrities like Kate Henshaw and VDM himself demanding justice for the victim and accountability from the company.

For many Nigerians, these repeated stories have become too familiar.

Dangote trucks have gained a reputation for accidents on highways, with critics accusing the company of putting untrained or overworked drivers behind the wheel. Social media users flooded VDM’s page with comments, some expressing heartbreak over Precious’s situation and others pointing to a long pattern of similar tragedies.

One user wrote, “Dangote trucks and accidents are like twins.” Another added, “This happens to many people, but only those who get loud enough manage to find justice.”

The growing outrage has put fresh pressure on Dangote Group to respond more responsibly, not just with words but with actions. Beyond calls for compensation, Nigerians are asking whether the company will finally confront what many see as a culture of recklessness among its drivers.

The Federal Government has been dragged before the court in a dramatic new case that puts Nigeria’s aviation industry under the spotlight. Public interest lawyer Ayodele Ademiluyi is suing the government, Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo, and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), demanding ₦500 billion in damages for what he describes as gross injustice and mismanagement.

The suit comes after two separate airport controversies that has trended. On one hand, Ms. Comfort Emmanson was swiftly prosecuted and penalized for allegedly disrupting a flight. On the other hand, Fuji legend KWAM 1 was accused of stopping a plane mid-air but walked away without any arrest or trial. To make matters worse, he was later appointed as a brand ambassador for the aviation sector.

Ademiluyi argues this double standard makes a mockery of justice and shows how deeply flawed the system has become.

In his filing, Ademiluyi is asking the court to:

• Order the government and aviation regulators to take decisive action against KWAM 1 and others involved.
• Award ₦500 billion in damages against the Federal Government, the NCAA, Ibom Air, ValueJet, and other listed respondents.
• Push for a complete overhaul of Nigeria’s aviation sector, which he says has been crippled by selective justice and impunity.

Speaking on the case, Ademiluyi warned that Nigeria cannot afford to run an aviation sector where rules only apply to the powerless.

“When a woman is jailed for disrupting a flight but a powerful man can stop a plane and get rewarded for it, what message are we sending?” he asked. He stressed that the matter goes beyond individuals and touches on the integrity of governance in the country.
