Another BBN Star Causes Confusion At Airport With British Airways Over Downgraded Ticket
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A few days after bbnaija star, Khloe called out Delta airline over her missing baggage, another Big Brother Naija star Erica Nlewedim has sparked commotion at Lagos International Airport after British Airways reportedly downgraded a ticket from Business Class to Economy without explanation.
Erica who took to Instagram Live to share her ordeal said airport officials also threatened to seize her phone.
The reality star claimed she initially tried to resolve the issue calmly but grew frustrated when an official, identified as Stanley, called a uniformed officer on her.
During the Livestream, Erica identified the staff member as Stanley and explained her situation: “I paid for business class and they are trying to downgrade me to economy and I didn’t come late.”
The reality star expressed concern about how she was being treated, saying, “What happened before? I wasn’t recording; I was on my own and then you called a uniformed person on me and said I was recording.”
Erica stood her ground, demanding that her ticket be returned to business class.
She told the airport staff, “Don’t bring problems my way and I won’t bring problems your way. Now you’re telling me, please. I came here all nice and you told me you wanted to put me on economy. What the f8ck? Did you all not collect the money? Give me what I paid for.”
“You guys haven’t seen my mad side in four years, and it’s out now,” she said partly.

‘Putin waiting to meet me as soon as possible’ to end Ukraine war – Trump
The US President-elect took to the stage AmFest in Phoenix to talk about his contact with the Russian leader.
He told the crowd: “President Putin has said he want to meet with me as soon as possible.”
Trump went on to brand the war “horrible” and stated it needed to end. It is not known whether or not this meeting will take place in person. His comments at the event in the US come as Putin met with another world leader.
Putin held talks in the Kremlin today (December 22) with Slovakia’s prime minister, Robert Fico, in a rare visit to Moscow by an EU leader since Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Fico arrived in Russia on a “working visit” and met with Putin one-on-one. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s RIA agency that the talks would focus on “the international situation” and Russian natural gas deliveries.
Visits and phone calls from European leaders to Putin have been rare since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine, although Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban visited Russia in July. Orban’s visit drew condemnation from Kyiv and European leaders.Fico’s views on Russia’s war on Ukraine differ sharply from most other European leaders. The Slovakian PM returned to power last year after his leftist party Smer (Direction) won parliamentary elections on a pro-Russia and anti-American platform. Since then, he has ended his country’s military aid for Ukraine, hit out at EU sanctions on Russia, and vowed to block Ukraine from joining NATO.
