Mrs Ezekwesili immediately took to twitter to announce her detention. She said she was heading to London to appear on the BBC Hardtalk programme but was prevented from boarding her flight by security operatives who confiscated passport. She was later released and allowed to board her 8a.m British Airways flight. See her tweets after the cut...

If the Truth be told Mrs Obi Ezikwesili's Campaign is no more clear, the hidden part of her agenda is a lot more than what we can see. She probably, was pursuing a just course initially, but right now that course has long been overtaken by her partisanship with the GEJ Government and her affiliation with the Nigeria’s Islamic Political Party (APC) and her quest for intellectual appraisal with her Boss at the World Bank - Nigeria's Minister of Finance, Dr. Okonjo Ngozi Iweala.

This isn't fair. SSS and Police have become a tool of harassment to the citizens of her own country. Pls vote wisely come 2015.
This woman needs to see a psychiatrist...She has OCD.
Why are they detaining her? for what? is it because she's among the the few people in Nigeria that still have human sympathy by feeling the pains of others? what nonsense, what kind of people are ruling us in this country. Enough is Enough.
Yes! You tell 'em Ms Oby. Good luck on your Hardtalk appearance.
Champion of democracy.
Kimmy *****
Oby ekwensu,jst get a back sit.You are taking this bringback our girls campaign too personal.
###############GOD punish##############devil
This country is just a movie...
At this rate, Oby, worry about your life and forget your rights...get a bullet proof car, house and body if possible or don't return to Nigeria...
Naija government democracy..tnx God for u Ma
This is human rights abuse! Why was she detained? SSS bunch of idiots, always intimidating people. Mrs Obi should take the matter further.......

Is this the democracy that we fought for? How can the SSS just be looking people up and harassing them simply because they are not on the side of GEJ. Na wa o
Democracy indeed.this govt has no direction.
Cooldavoe@yahoo.co
Circus circus circus !!!,drama drama drama!!! My country Nigeria is a reality show on her own. See her last tweet and she blasted sum guy on twitter 4 wrong spelling months bk. F. Minister of education cannot spell RIGHT and no body shud tell me is typographical error cuz she shud av known dat b4 she replied dat guy. Bsides am not taking sides btw her and d president as far am concern she shud be d least of GEJ problems cuz his just giving her 2much attention and room 4 her 2 display,his concern shud be abt bringing bk d missing chibok girls and not allow dis woman distract him,dats if d girls her truely missing. My bluved commedy of a nation God ll help us. My opinion am entitled 2 it.
DEMOCRACY MY BLACK ASS. ABEGI MAKE UNA LEAVE THE WOMAN IF SHE DECIDES TO FIGHT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT NA SHE SABI... IF SHE COLLECT POST FROM THEM TOO NA SHE SABI. ALL JOIN LET THE MUSIC PLAY ON....
I am ashamed of Nigerians that come on here and start saying 'she's taking this thing too personal' or 'what did she do as minister'... That is not the point at hand, over 250 girls are missing and it looks like it's not going to stop!! Or is it when they come for your biological sisters that you guys will start taking this seriously?
LINDA YOU HAVEN'T POSTED MY COMMENT. ABEG NOW POST AM SHARP SHARP. I USED CAP TO WRITE.
When I read comments here I just bend my head in shame for this country, where none of our youths know their civil right its a pity that some people can read useless meaning into a comment she made of her right. Even if she did nothing then does it warrant the SSS to harrasse any citizen u see once u re not supporting GEJ this is democracy not military or dictatorship regime, she has every right to say what she likes am not seeing any democracy in this current govt am sorry cant support impunity and mediocre

She should shut her mouth? u are an Imbecile, Idiot. u people keep on suppressing the truth with ur bleak minds.
Bonario thank u jare u talk true. If linda like make she no post my comment.
If she's not carefull, she will send herself to jail all by herself(Na only her waka come)
Have u forgotten dat it has been said dat Nigeria is in a state of war? So I strongly believe the SSS are doing a great job. Let them keep checking these people and their moves
If she's not carefull, she will send herself to jail all by herself(Na only her waka come)
Abeg abeg, dis woman should just take several seats jor.......all of una na d same
aikejiuba@yahoo.co.uk
i dont know y u dont post my comment linda but anyways is ur blog u can do what ever u like but just tell that oby ezekwesili to shut her dirty big mouth cus she one of the major problems we r having in this country woman,man. if u like dont post my comment
Oby, stop using the Chibok girls! What you are doing is political! How come when you all are of government that is when you have all the answers to Nigeria's problems? You can fool some Nigerians but you can't fool all Nigerians. WE CAN SEE THROUGH YOU, Oby aka Gregory akabuogu!
You are a fool
Can't she talk?
Former minister of education can't spell right, how thoroughly disappointing
Hv u eva tot of wia u wil spend eternity? Or just 2 enjoy gay life on earth & battle in hell 4eva? Tink & reason well. Free ur dear life frm gay
Arrest her. This woman sef to do. Unnecessary attention seeker, They are killing the country pretending they want her interest.
SSS detained Oby Ezekwesili and gave her 3G network to tweet right ??
When Elrufia and @Ciaxon was taken, una see dem tweet ??
Check d time frame between her tweets.. *10 mins*
Oby was stopped and question/passport checked and detials taken as it has been happening to many citizens oo..
Or Does Chibok girls give her imunity ??
When it happens to me, it's due process but if it happens to Oby, it harrasment, human right infringment and undemocratic....
..
If she had been a beta Education minister in her time, probably Chibok girls would have been in a beta state !!!
..
Abeg stop d noise
Madam go a sit your jobless arse down. where were you when Abacha was ruling? where were you in OBJ's first term? until Dr Iwuala rescue your broke ass. Democracy this democracy that. you are irrelevant no wonder World bank laid you off. you simply don't have anything to offer.
madam do go "omuogwo' nah if you don't have anything to do.
I'm sometimes surprised at the way we view things. There has been so much condemnation of what Oby is doing. I think most people are missing the point, she's putting pressure on the authorities to ensure the return of the abducted girls and we are saying she is seeking attention, she failed as a minister, she was PDP etc. The question is, are girls missing? have they been rescued? do we want them back? Honestly, apart from Bringbackourgirls campaign, who else is talking about this abduction? Some girls were kidnapped the other time and no one said anything, now some1 is talking and we are casting aspersions. I sometimes feel we deserve what we get as a country.
I like her strength and courage but I'm tired of her lamenting everyday over flimsy excuse.

Mama OBY pls 1 question for you: how was the educational system when you were minister? Don't b throwing stones wen u weren't better either. We all getting tired of ur drama pls take several seats back.
Hmmmmm, my lovely nation... Her citizens hate d truth and its been swept under rugs.
It is indeed very unfortunate to sit and read about comments made by most people on this blog.Anyone who criticizes a government now does so because they do not have a government appointment. If she were a minister now, we will criticize her ministry for non-performance.Now she is asking the government to be accountable we say she should be quiet because she does not have an appointment. People like her do not need a government appointment. Governments should be grateful to have her on their cabinet. Those making such derogatory comments, what have they done to demand for the release of the Chibok girls?Nothing!!!...But the few who are courageous to dare the government and demand accountability are called names and disrespected. The only way we can begin to change our country is if each one of us becomes an Ezekwesili in our own environment. Gradually the whole country will begin to change.
Na grammer u dey spk...
U think u are above d law. Y nt tell us wat u did cuz d SSS can't jst detain u for nothing
Wetyn bring Jonathan enter this one.....na Jonathan seize her passport?
from the comments here it is so sad to see that so many people have air between their ears. functional illiterates. Nigeria is really in trouble
Real comma!
all of you harassing this woman, what are you doing outside your comfort zone, what are you doing to make a difference. are you saying everyone should just keep looking with minds full of apathy. no one is perfect but we need to do something and if this is the cause that has captured her heart and passion so be it. what is yours. start living and stop existing. what are you doing to make a change
They have every right to ask her questions just like they do to everyone once in a while. Who does she think she is? Bloody attention seeker.
Instead of us all to band together like every civilised nation does in times of trouble, she has decided to be a torn in our flesh. If she was indeed detained, she wouldn't have made the flight and heaven would not fall. Rubbish.
Amaka.
Nigeria Jaga Jaga. (Linda's Man)
Is it because she is shouting? she is on the security watch list.. she ma sef has K leg....she shld sleep jor hiss
The noise is because it shouldn't have been seized in the first place!
Exactly. He can't and is not doing his work so he has now turned into a bully!
Looool...guess this (dats if d girls her truely missing) is certainly not typographical error. lol @ the use of 'her' and the spelling of 'truely'. It's actually *are* and *truly* Olodo
Valentine u always make foolish and immature comments...... How will people know the truth? Y should SSS seize her passport ? Is she wanted or a threat to national security? Mature ple like u should learn to contribute intelligently to national discourse instead u always talk foolishly ..... Pls grow up and stop being a nuisance to humanity
Your comment is the most stupid here..... May tragedy visit u and ur family, may u find no body to speak out for u..... By advocating for govt to bring back kidnapped girls u dare to say she is bringing down our image? What image does Nigeria have? Get ur head out of your stupid arse and start thinking right......
Steve go back to yaba left..... U need to top up your meds
We say No to the abuse of power! Someone got to say it louder.
Valid point. Very valid
Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely think this amazing site needs much more attention. I'll probably
be back again to see more, thanks for the advice!
