I am not a public figure that cows to bullying - Abike Dabiri-Erewa replies Oby Ezekwesili after she cautioned her for calling a Twitter troll "Ode"
Chairman of the Nigerians In Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has said she is not a public figure that cows to bullying. She stated this while replying to former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, who cautioned her for calling a Twitter troll ''Ode'' an abusive word in yoruba language which can mean ''dumb, foolish, stupid,'' and so on. Ms Dabiri-Erewa had knocked a Twitter troll who referred to her as ''Mumu woman'' which means a foolish or stupid woman. Ezekwesili spotted Abike's Tweet and felt it was inappropriate. Tweeting at Ms. Dabiri-Erewa, she wrote; ''Dear Abike @abikedabiri, What is this? . Kai. This is messy. Please clean it up. Quickly. Please.'' Responding, Ms. Dabiri-Erewa, wrote; ''I’m done on this . But out of respect for you , will ask, Clean what up? It’s okay for some untrained, uncouth guy to refer to me as “ mumu”, and I can’t call him “ ode”I’m not a public official that cows to bullying pls.''
