Why Is MC Oluomo Pleading for Kwam 1?

Why Is MC Oluomo Pleading for Kwam 1?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Why is MC Oluomo pleading for Kwam 1? That is the question many Nigerians are now asking as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, openly begged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to forgive Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, also known as Kwam 1, after an alleged breach of aviation regulations.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria accused the 68-year-old musician of bringing alcohol on board a ValueJet Airlines flight to Lagos, an act prohibited on domestic flights in Nigeria. This reportedly led to an altercation with a flight attendant before take-off. The incident prompted swift action from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, with Kwam 1 placed on a six-month no-fly list for both domestic and international flights.

In his appeal, MC Oluomo described Kwam 1 as “like a prodigal son” who had acknowledged his mistakes and was sincerely apologetic. He pleaded with President Tinubu, the NCAA, and the Aviation Minister to temper justice with mercy, lift the ban, and allow the singer to fly again. His statement read in part:

“I humbly and fervently appeal to you to exercise mercy and forgiveness towards Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1). Like a prodigal son, K1 has acknowledged his mistakes, is sincerely apologetic, and is willing to make amends.”

Selective Mercy in Nigeria

But why is MC Oluomo pleading for Kwam 1 while no one of influence is pleading for Comfort Emmanson, the young woman recently remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly assaulting an Ibom Air crew member? Nigerians are now drawing comparisons between the two incidents and questioning the selective way mercy is applied in the country.

If MC Oluomo can plead for Kwam 1, then we Nigerians are also pleading for Comfort. Comfort is a human being too. Her offence may have been disruptive and wrong, but so was Kwam 1’s. In fact, if we are to be fair, Kwam 1’s offence, attempting to interfere with a flight’s movement is no less serious. In the case of Comfort, the law came down hard and fast. In the case of Kwam 1, a powerful union leader is already publicly begging for leniency.

Why This Matters

The aviation authorities have every right to enforce discipline and protect safety. But Nigerians are watching to see if the same rules will apply to everyone, whether you are a famous musician or an unknown passenger. Until that happens, many will believe the system protects the powerful while punishing the powerless.

Bottom Line

That is the uncomfortable question this case raises. In a country where mercy often depends on who you know, we must ask ourselves: are we building a nation of fairness, or a country where the “ogas” at the top decide who deserves a second chance? If MC Oluomo can beg for Kwam 1, maybe we can all beg for Comfort too, because selective mercy is no mercy at all.
