Stella Oduah Used An Expletive During An Interview?

My friend was discombobulated. During an interview with Nigeria's embattled aviation minister, Ms. Stella Oduah, a journalist asked if she was concerned that critics were raising issues about the remodelling of airports she was doing.

Oduah flared up: "Who the Bleep are they? Who the Bleep!" By the time Joe Obi, the minister's aide began pleading with journalists not use the word "Bleep" in their reports, the damage had been done. When Oduah later said that an accident is "an act of God", my friend was not surprised. He had known the woman for long.

Now, she says: "You know they hate me because I'm an Igbo woman!" So we dare say: "What the Bleep has tribe got to do with theft, corruption and mismanagement? What the Bleep has being an Igbo woman got to do with inflated cars that are nowhere to be found?
