When videos of Comfort Emmanson’s dramatic ejection from an Ibom Air flight hit the internet on August 10, most people debated aviation safety and passenger behaviour.
But for Nollywood filmmaker Biodun Stephen, the viral moment carried another lesson.
In an Instagram video, Stephen addressed the moment Emmanson’s bre*sts became exposed during her tussle with flight attendants and security.

According to her, the incident was proof that going braless and pantless in public can lead to embarrassing situations.
She stated:
“I warned before, but people dragged me,” she said. “If you know you want to fight, wear pants and bra first. The lady wore leggings, but I don’t believe she wore p*nties. Everybody saw what they weren’t supposed to see.”
Ibom Air explained that the altercation started before takeoff when Emmanson refused to switch off her mobile phone, violating aviation safety rules.
The confrontation escalated into a physical struggle, with security eventually forcing her off the plane
In her video, the actress also referenced past instances when she advised women to always wear underwear, but was met with criticism.
Stephen added:
“I’m saying it again. Wear your bra, wear your pant — so that when the spirit of Hulk Hogan enters you, you’ll be ready for battle.”

Stephen's video fuels backlash
Stephen's advice to ladies has drawn backlash from netizens.
@depejufoods:
"Aunty Biodun e jor now. I kuku remember when you made those videos. Ọrọ agba ti pada come to pass bayi."
eniolatito:
"As soon as you said “Stop going pata-less” I knew what this video was gonna be about. Lol. The young lady’s situation is quite unfortunate. Soooo many things could’ve been avoided or at least better managing if better reasoning and decision making were applied. That said tho, I think she can actually sue someone to court for exposing her like that online without her consent."
@lovefulleverywhere:
"That doesn't excuse the animalistic behaviour from the staff."
@_aliveandwell_:
"They say respect the old , yet is the older women that are meant to fight for the younger generation and protect women rights are the same ones making jokes out of a serious situation and stripping young women, this is very distasteful and very disappointing. God help this country."
