Chairman of the Nigerians In Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has said she is not a public figure that cows to bullying.

She stated this while replying to former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, who cautioned her for calling a Twitter troll ''Ode'' an abusive word in yoruba language which can mean ''dumb, foolish, stupid,'' and so on.

Ms Dabiri-Erewa had knocked a Twitter troll who referred to her as ''Mumu woman'' which means a foolish or stupid woman.

Ezekwesili spotted Abike's Tweet and felt it was inappropriate. Tweeting at Ms. Dabiri-Erewa, she wrote;

''Dear Abike @abikedabiri, What is this? . Kai. This is messy. Please clean it up. Quickly. Please.''

Responding, Ms. Dabiri-Erewa, wrote;

''I’m done on this . But out of respect for you , will ask, Clean what up? It’s okay for some untrained, uncouth guy to refer to me as “ mumu”, and I can’t call him “ ode”I’m not a public official that cows to bullying pls.''
