A plane passenger became furious when a woman seated in front of her deliberately blocked her view of the onboard TV screen. Fed-up, she decided to get even, and it was all caught on video. Was her revenge perfect or petty? You decide.
Although the details aren’t known, a video that was captured during an airline flight has gone viral after a furious plane passenger was caught getting even with a seemingly rude woman, who was seated in front of her…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
The encounter was so bad, some have even questioned whether it might have been staged, but it’s hard to imagine any woman would agree to what was done.
As can be seen in the now-viral clip, two women are seated, one in front of the other, on a plane. Whether or not the two knew each other is unknown, but what is apparent is that the one passenger was fed-up with the antics of the woman seated in front of her as the unnamed blonde appears to deliberately try to block the other woman’s view of the onboard TV by draping her long hair over the seat.
Obviously furious that the other woman’s hair was blocking her onboard TV screen, the fed-up passenger decided to teach the blonde a lesson. As tensions begin to build between the two female passengers, the one in the rear seat took matters into her own hands — literally — and it was all caught on video.
As the now-viral clip — which was posted to TikTok and quickly viewed millions of times — begins, the furious passenger is seen taking hold of the other woman’s hair with her left hand as she holds something small in the fingers of her right hand. And, it doesn’t take long for views to realize what’s going on.
As the furious passenger places the initially unknown item in the other woman’s hair, it becomes evident that it’s chewing gum as the fed-up woman mats and mangles the other woman’s hair around the sticky glob. She doesn’t stop there, though, as she is clearly irritated by the woman sitting in front of her, who keeps flinging her hair over the back of her seat during the flight.
After an air hostess walks by and looks the other way, the fed-up passenger continues to get her revenge. Seemingly finding that the wad of gum that she mashed in the other woman’s hair wasn’t enough, she dunks the ends of the blonde’s long locks in her coffee, but that’s not all. In addition, she takes nail clippers to the woman’s hair, snipping the ends, and worse: READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
After attempting to ruin the woman’s hair with the gum, coffee, and nail clippers, the furious passenger takes things one step further, sticking a lollipop in the woman’s hair as well, leaving it an absolute mess. Sadly, the seemingly clueless woman is still undeterred from putting her hair in another’s space.
Even as the passenger behind her flicks the blonde’s hair back over the seat, the rude woman flings it back into the other passenger’s space, again and again, seemingly unaware of the damage that has been done to her now matted and messy hair.
The level of revenge depicted is so severe, that many questioned whether it could even be real. Instead, some are inclined to believe it was fake and had been staged. One such viewer was quick to point out that the two women had on the “same” hats, suggesting that they were perhaps friends, Daily Mail reported.
“You would absolutely know someone is touching your hair,” a woman named Julieaanne also noted, while others even suggested that the woman was wearing a wig: “Come on that’s a wig! Totally staged! You think after she flipped it she didn’t feel all that stuff in her hair!” Staged or not, however, there is something to be learned from this; namely, respect for other people’s space.
Many of those who took the clip at face value surprisingly sided with the gum-mashing, fed-up passenger, despite how spiteful her actions might have been. “At first I was with the lady in the front, but after she kept throwing her hair back I feel like she got what she deserved,” one such TikTok user wrote.
Whether it’s right or wrong, there are people out there who would take similar revenge. So, let this be a lesson on being courteous and respecting other people’s space. After all, had the blonde passenger done that simple thing, her hair would have been safe from the supposed stranger’s hands. Simply put: Don’t be rude or someone might be ruder back.
Gen. Diya was crossed examined at the Human Rights Violation Commission (HRVIC) on the coup plan 1997 to overthrow Gen. Sanni Abacha, He bluntly denied the fact that he was part of the plan but he admitted he knew about the plan. He further explained that he was afraid of being killed by the Coup Master Planner if he revealed the plan.
Gen. Diya Oladipo then was appointed as Chief of Defense Staff. He was appointed Chief of General Staff in 1993 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994.

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.
A second coup since independence which happened on July 29, 1966, would see to the brutal death of Nigeria’s Supreme Commander, General J.T.C Aguiyi-Ironsi (the nation’s 1st military head of state) and his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, who was the sitting and 1st Military Governor of the Western Region…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest at the Government House, Ibadan, as he came to hold a meeting with traditional rulers in the Western region. Ironsi arrived Ibadan the previous day and unknowingly, he met his death during the counter-coup which is generally believed to be a retaliation to the January 15th 1966 coup in which prominent Northerners in power were killed.
The Northerners were believed to hold a grudge since the first coup as they lost leaders including Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Nigerian Prime Minister) and Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region). They tagged it an ‘Igbo Coup’ as no Eastern casualty was recorded in both the military and public service as even the West lost Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in the coup.

This counter-coup of July 29, 1966, led by General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was tagged the bloodiest coup by many in the history of Nigeria. Ironsi and Fajuyi’s death which still remains a controversial debate among historians because how they were killed isn’t clear but both bodies were found in a bush in outskirts of Ibadan. Read a comprehensive account of how Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed here.
Aside from the Head of State and Western Military governor, many other casualties were recorded in the army and most killed or maimed were Easterners, particularly Igbos. This will be one of the many reasons the country would go into a civil war the following year as the Eastern region tried seceding.
54 years after, we remember this gruesome act done in the Brown Roof City and how much has happened or changed since then.
General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.
He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.
He is held by some as Nigeria’s most successful coup plotter. When he was still a Second Lieutenant with the 3rd Battalion in Kaduna, he took part in the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup from the conceptual stage. He could well have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the coup the previous January as well…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Abacha fought for Nigeria in the country’s civil war against Biafran secessionists continuing to rise through the army ranks.
He was instrumental in the 1983 Nigerian coup d’état which brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power as well as the August 1985 coup which removed him from power. He announced the coup which removed the government of Shehu Shagari.
When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was appointed Minister of Defence in 1990. With Babangida’s resignation, an interim government headed by civilian President, Ernest Shonekan was formed.
Sani Abacha became the first Nigerian soldier to attain the rank of a full General without skipping a single rank in 1993. In the same year, he moved for the ultimate.
Shonekan resigned and transferred power to Sani Abacha in a move widely believed to be another bloodless coup. In September 1994, he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial.
Abacha is noted for helping restore peace and democracy to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the civil wars.
On his administration of the Nigerian state proper, he established The Petroleum Trust Fund aimed to address major economic issues facing the country at the time. Between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Kano, Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt was planned to be constructed each. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996.
There was a restructuring of major insurance companies that supported SMEs across the entire country.
Abacha mandated the PTF to publicise its accounts as it was the second-largest public corporation at the time. In 1997, the account of PTF showed that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realized a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.
It’s curious the sums which emerged after his death that he stashed in overseas accounts as the Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements overseeing an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997.

He also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997. His Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund is also hailed for infrastructural projects and interventionist programmes in education, water and health.
His wife is credited with setting up the National Hospital in Abuja viewed as Nigeria’s foremost national hospital, which was initially set up as a hospital for women and children before its upgrade.
Nonetheless, Abacha was ruthless with groups he considered hostile to his administration between 1993 and 1998. There was a crackdown on the civil rights groups, media and pro-democracy groups.
It was also under him that Nigeria became a perpetual importer of petroleum products as the refineries packed up. The emergence of the ‘foul fuel’ which damaged car engines and released a repugnant smell was in his time.
General Sani Abacha earned the title ‘Thug of the Year’ from Time magazine in 1995 after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha developed the habit of working only at night. Availing himself to be seen publicly rarely while being averse to granting interviews.
The events of his death on June 8, 1998, at the presidential villa in Abuja are murky and while the official account is that he suffered a heart attack, other accounts say he was in the company of two Indian sex workers flown in from Dubai when he died. He was buried on the same day, according to Muslim tradition, without an autopsy. This fueled speculation that he may have been murdered by political rivals via poison.
Foreign diplomats, including United States Intelligence analysts, believed that his drink or fruit (apple) was laced with a poisonous substance while in the company of prostitutes.
Abacha was married to Maryam Abacha with whom he had had seven sons and three daughters.
In March 2014, the United States Department of Justice revealed that it had frozen more than $458 million believed to have been illegally obtained by Abacha and other corrupt officials.
On 7 August 2014, the United States Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture in its history: the return of $480 million to the Nigerian government.
Stashed sums in other accounts have been discovered with the Nigerian government working to have the funds returned.
