  British Airways hostess sacked over racist chants against Nigerians
  
  British Airways has sacked 23-year-old air hostess, Joanne Wickenden,
  who shot a racist video where she was seen ranting and insulting
  Nigerian passengers.
  She sparked outrage after the video in which she was seen in her
  British Airways uniform before flying from London Heathrow to Abuja on
  Friday night.
  
  According to MailOnline, Ms. Wickenden told officials at British
  Airways that the video which she uploaded via her Snapchat was ‘just a
  joke’, adding that she was set up by a British Airways colleague who
  recorded her and shared the clip.
  In a statement on Tuesday, British Airways said Wickenden no longer
  works with the airline as their staff were expected to be of utmost
  professionalism when representing the airline.
  “She no longer works for British Airways. We expect the utmost
  professionalism from our staff when they are representing British
  Airways,” it said.
  Meanwhile, Ms. Wickenden, who wants to be an actress, told journalists that she is not a racist.
  
  “I am not a racist.
  “I have been framed by another British Airline employee. They were
  encouraging me, egging me on to say things. They were recording me and
  sent it around to our friends, she said I don’t want to fly anymore,”
  she said.
