Nigerians descends on Abike Dabiri for calling Twitter user ‘ode’

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has come under fire for using a vulgar word in response to a Twitter user’s brash comment.

The former lawmaker, who was responding to the report of an ongoing fracas between the Indians and Nigerians at the University campus near Delhi on Monday, was met with the rude comment by a social media user.

Reacting to the insult, Dabiri-Erewa called the user “ode” – which means “fool” – adding that the said user went to Indonesia to engage in cultism and drugs.

However, her response has come under fire from those who felt disappointed and expected more from an “employee of the Nigerian government.”
