Xkale1996:
Obi will never rule this country, make obedient dey play as long as president elect will do the right thing, northern vote will go to Tinubu 2027

Sorry.

lailo:
Abeg, stop using the word Obidients. Just say "the igbos", that is the true identity. No more no less.

You should be more concerned that Soyinka lacks proper communication skills.

accordadoga29:


They thought everyone would be daft to vote for an illiterate with upper iweka accent.

A colossal failure who could not commission a single project when he was a governor.

A religious warrior who knew he would lose because he has no track records as a governor but thought the only way he could win votes would be through religion antics.

A youth at 62.

A pathological liar.

An illiterate who did not know what green energy is.

A man who gets advised by a mad man.

A fake messiah who sheds crocodile tears on the national tv.

Nigeria does not need a female president at this critical time.

God bless every finger that voted against the serpent. It doesn’t matter if the vote was for Ashiwaju, Kwankwaso or Atiku. You saved us

Ode !
Here is the educational qualifications of a man you called illiterate . Please, if there is anyone in your lineage or village that has such , kindly mention. You are even permitted to lie. Just lie . Google is your companion

Have you ask yourself why Nigeria is now far below those they fed in the past ?
This rubbish you posted and individuals you are projecting here is the reason
Thank you

>>>> ATTENTION
DEAR NAIRALAND MODs , IF THIS INFORMATION I HAVE GIVEN HERE ABOUT OBI IS FAKE , BAN ME THIS MOMENT

ADVICE
MR accordadoga29, don’t let those those interests is only their pockets use your heads to hate and spread fake information about their political opponents. They have borrowed billions as usual. Hope your name is among the so-called poor Nigerians without information about their number as they claim
As it stands , your unborn children are already owing gbese for monies you know nothing about , with no good roads , street lights, security etc to show for it and all you do is fight for those robbing you

Jakpon:
The truth is that a large percentage of the so called obidients are IPOB miscreants who had been trained by Nnamdi kanu to be abusive, vile, uncouth and asinine

You need to read the disparaging comments they wrote about Pastor Adeboye and RCCG simply because the respected man of God, out of divine wisdom, did not use the pulpit to promote the candidacy of Peter Obi as other pastors did.

See the poster below me refering to Professor Wole Soyinka as a man with words but no action. This is the same Wole Soyinka, a Yoruba man, who spent eighteen months in prison during the civil war, because of his involvement in the Biafra cause. Meanwhile their own Biafra leaders like Ojukwu, Achebe, Azikiwe etc, were all hiding from one under ground bunker to another until Ojukwu cowardly ran away to Abidjan.

Former President Obasanjo whom they now regard as an hero because of his hypocritical and self serving stance in supporting Peter Obi's presidency, succeeded late Benjamin Adekunle(Black Scorpin) as the C.O of the 3rd Marine Commando Division. This is the Division that finished off their fathers during the war.

Today this headless mob who have gotten their heads buried deep inside Peter Obi's rectum, see Obasanjo as a friend while Soyinka is a villian.

How did you pls if that is what u mean hen it mean thal all tinubu suporters are thugs and thieves

Misterc:
In as much as he's one of our Most Respected Nobel Laureate.....
I must say Professor Wole Soyinka is just all words and no actions...

@Op, how old are you? Just asking

BUT WAIT OOO
Is Fmr President Jonathan not from your Region?

Bonapart:
How did this man [b]became [/b]a professor.

He became a professor by learning to say "How did this man become a professor?", not "How did this man became a professor."

baralatie:

You mean you don't understand what he wrote?

Soyinka lacks proper communication skills,no be by grammar.

This hyper ethnic bigot and blood sipping cultist should stfu already.

Xammie001:
It's Obvious you only argue based on Emotions and not HISTORY.
Go back to 1960 and understand why they won't give power to an IGBO man,The division we are experiencing today is Caused by a Man Named NNAMDI AZIKWE go and verify before you come here to talk as if igbos are the messiah of this country called Nigeria you are right and also WRONG.
You spoke about fulani killing people,WHAT are Igbos known for my BRO

Mr man,you sef follow the band of Igbo this and Igbo that,oga how you take know say I dey support Igbo presidency?na Igbo man be my problem?how una dey think sef?this tribalism wey apc throw give una really dey work oooo Kai!!!....for your information me na apc be my problem,apc out,make another party try luck...wether Igbo man rule or not,e no concern me ooooo,make apc comot shikena..

AbdulMagaji:
wole soyinka lacks effective communication.

I do not see intelligence on this write up

He was talking to intelligent people, so you won't understand.

AnambraPRINCE78:
YOU ARE EVEN MORE FOOOLISH THAN I THOUGHT.

YES HE WON ONLY IN HIS IGBOS YOUTHS AND UNKNOWN GUNMEN TERRORISTS HEAD

YOU CAN NOW GO AND KILL YOURSELF

Obi even won your state. A lot of your people are not senseless like you. They're Obidient and wise, and they voted for Obi.

baralatie:

You mean you don't understand what he wrote?

Soyinka lacks proper communication skills,no be by grammar.

mymadam:

@Op, how old are you? Just asking

Soyinka is just loud ,he lacks proper communication skills.
No be by grammar.

Misterc:
In as much as he's one of our Most Respected Nobel Laureate.....
I must say Professor Wole Soyinka is just all words and no actions....
If you're supporting Obi just say it...
If you're supporting Tinubu just says it straight up...
Rather than these sitting on the fence and all words...

He is supporting common sense, something which is rare in the Obidient movement. You don't have to be on either side of the political divide as is present in Nigeria today before you can have a say on something which has become very obnoxious in the society.

Xammie001:
Please the Most Learned Soul,How did obi win?
No insults just here to Learn

How else does one win a Presidential election in Nigeria if not by garnering the most votes and getting 2/3 of votes in 24 stats and FCT? Peter Obi met this requirement but you and I know how Yakubu transferred Obi votes to some else. That stolen mandate must be recovered.

You won't be saying this if you know the tribe he came from so well. They're cowards. You can never trust an afonja.

Sapiosexuality:
I agree Obidients are problematic but if he calls what they do fascism, how then will he describe those who insist that either you vote their candidate or you don't vote and who go to the extremist of extents to enforce that? How are Obidients more problematic than this other group?

funny enough he kept mute.

But have you forgotten the same Constitution said 2/3 which may include and must have majority votes as well

The case is already in court,so meet them in court .

Trash. The same gang that brought in Buhari are at it again. Soyinka does not have any moral right to talk in this political dispensation after his role in bringing this curse called APC in 2015.

Obi is a failure and bad omen

Only smart people will understand the link that connects these 3 excerpts from Prof. Wole Soyinka’s beautiful piece:

Coming to terms with an unpalatable projected eventuality – sorry – possible eventuality, counsels deep reflection, not demonization of the bearer of sour news. For the seriously committed, it requires pulling back the horns a little in order to regroup, rethink and resurge. Democracy is sometimes a long haul. Some of us have been at it for quite a while. I am well aware that the foregoing is further invitation for more nauseous bilge from the besotted. Please, be my guest. It is, after all, one of those special seasons of convergence of two seasons of self-flagellation.

And

This gross abuse of historic licence actually provides smug satisfaction for rookie activists. I advise them to seek out the school of survivors where pertinent lessons still exist for those with sufficient humility to LEARN before MOUTHING! Otherwise their world of false mythologies will collapse under their feet, and leave them dangling in the void.

And

Before I take myself off for – well, next port of call – the final word goes to a favourite maverick, propagated even as he matched his words by action. I suspect that in this instance we find ourselves on opposite sides of the strategic fence – that is democracy. This now coopted watchword of his formulation remains apt, applicable to all who strive for authentic social transformation: Your mummu done do!

Lol, wisdom definitely comes with age. Yoruba people are inherently different and about 400years ahead of Igbos.

A lot of you will understand these excerpts in the next few months. Some play victimhood, tears and emotional blackmail. While the smart ones strategise, plan and execute while using the carrot and stick approach.

Xammie001:
But have you forgotten the same Constitution said 2/3 which may include and must have majority votes as well

Read my first response well. Peter Obi got the highest number of votes, about 11 million votes. But his votes were stolen by Yakubu and given to his elect. We shall show this in court.He also got 25% in at least 25 States, FCT inclusive.

Their minds have been Poisoned by the Bad Belle ones who haven't yet recovered from the devastating defeat of Biafra which even God Almighty never Supoorted that was why everything that could go wrong for Biafra always went Calamitously wrong

To top it all Ojukwu who led them into the Disaster abandoned his own People and Fled

The first General in the History of Mankind ever to do so

This goatee prof ran away during campaign and election day only to come back weeks after election to disturb us with his irrelevant but biased opinion.

No pity for you whatsoever, whatever those headless mobs want to say about you is correct sir, because how you can not see these things about the obident movement before the election and you went on to support them is what surprises us, the movement is about Obi and Obi alone, anything apart from that is not welcome, even Obi himself is not permitted to say the truth he must say what pleases the headless mob he is carrying about,
So take whatever you see sir.

All the mad people have migrated from Facebook to twitter

FASCISM ON COURSE

It would appear that a record discharge of toxic sludge from our notorious smut factory is currently clogging the streets and sewers of the Republic of Liars. It goes to prove the point that provoked the avalanche EXACTLY! The seeds of incipient fascism in the political arena have evidently matured. A climate of fear is being generated. The refusal to entertain correctlve criticism, even differing perspectives of the same position has become a badge of honour and certificate of commitment.

What is at stake, ultimately is – Truth, and at a most elementary level of social regulation: when you are party to a conflict, you do not attempt to intimidate the arbiter, attempt to dictate the outcome, or impugn, without credible cause, his or her neutrality even before hearing has commenced. That is a ground rule of just proceeding. Short of this, Truth remains permanently elusive.
​
The ensuing cacophony has been truly bewildering. It strikes me as a possible ploy to smother recent provocations by other, far more trenchant issues, such as revelations of declarations of a religious war. If so, let it be known that I have long declared war against religious fundamentalism, the nature of which justifies the butchery, kidnapping and enslavement of students in the name of religion. That aspirant’s alleged gaffe cuts no ice with me.

Far more alarming was the grotesque fantasy of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court disguised as a wheelchair, zooming off in space to a secret meeting with other parties of the conflict. On its own, that is sufficiently scary. Swiftly, followed thereafter by a television tirade of intimidation, it strikes one as more than the mere antics by the mentally deranged. The tactics are familiar: ridicule, incriminate, then intimidate. Objective: undermine the structure of justice .

Just as a reminder: this writer was not being rhetorical when he declared, on exiting prison detention: Justice is the first condition of humanity. The instigating contest – Nigerian Democracy 2023 - has witnessed much that is innovative – largely in the retrogressive vein. Violence and ethnic profiling. “Spiritual” warfare in the shape of sacrificial rams to keep “disloyal” communites under restraint – in short, intimidation yet again! Easily overlooked however are those missives of violence directed against dissenting voices, real or suspect.

Such, for instance, were the virulent attacks and threats to the musician Seun Kuti, his family and iconic music Shrine. His crime consisted of nothing more than declaring the name “Obidient” derogatory to his sense of civic dignity and activist history. Such beginnings – and instances are numerous - have culminated in the open intimidation of the Court of Last Resort, even before proceedings have begun. By the way, I do agree with Seun Kuti; ‘Obidients’ is one of the most repulsive, off-putting concoctions I ever encountered in any political arena.

Some love it however, and this is what freedom is about. Choice. Taste. Free emotions. By contrast, I have no quarrel with “Yes Daddy”. Roman Catholics are used to saying “Yes, Father”. Secularists say “Enh, Baba”. The context and content are what matters, and lies – where established - raise bothersome issues such as Integrity Deficiency. Let us remind ourselves of the following: in any adjudication, society finds it unacceptable that a party to the dispute resort to influencing tactics by extra-judicial means – such as bribery.

Intimidation and threats are merely the obverse complements of material inducement. Those who fail to appreciate this are entirely free to their existence in an illusory world.

We shall add the following pointer for this particular electoral tussle - the news may be unpleasant, but here it comes. Quite a few pundits have set out in some impressive – not necessarily persuasive - detail the- possibility that the complainants in this presidential election are not as strongly planted on the victory podium as they presume – see, for instance – Ambassador Haastrup’s fascinating analysis in Newspeak etc. April 6. Right or wrong? That is not the issue. What the nations needs to know right now is if you are planning to send assassins after such negative analysts.!

Coming to terms with an unpalatable projected eventuality – sorry – possible eventuality, counsels deep reflection, not demonization of the bearer of sour news. For the seriously committed, it requires pulling back the horns a little in order to regroup, rethink and resurge. Democracy is sometimes a long haul. Some of us have been at it for quite a while. I am well aware that the foregoing is further invitation for more nauseous bilge from the besotted. Please, be my guest. It is, after all, one of those special seasons of convergence of two seasons of self-flagellation.

Fasting makes bearers of constricted minds even more light-headed. Delusions fill the vacuum. Oh yes, could these rabid parochial minds of easy excitation also kindly stop flattering themselves that one’s energies are consecrated solely to the nation space known as `Nigeria? The whines of “silence” are relative to the reading scope and world knowledge of idle complainants as well as their grasp of the chain of continuity. I choose my methods of intervention without the permission of social media border patrols, so where you find a gap, just pick up the baton where last deposited and stop whining and belly-aching – “he stopped talking all this while, why now?” etc etc ad nauseum . Flat, easy disposable lies that gain traction by repetition.

However, even more importantly, they remain irrelevant to the rights and wrongs of ongoing material issue. Sadly, these virtue vigilantes succeed with the ignorant and susceptible – especially among the younger, confused generation. The consequence is that the nation is plagued by fake CVs compiled by all kinds of amateur commentators, still wet behind the ears, who have too few truths to build on before they are corralled into positions of No-Retreat. Nowhere has this been more evident than in the effrontery of attempts to place the present contention on the same podium as the twenty-year old anti-Abacha struggle!

This gross abuse of historic licence actually provides smug satisfaction for rookie activists. I advise them to seek out the school of survivors where pertinent lessons still exist for those with sufficient humility to LEARN before MOUTHING! Otherwise their world of false mythologies will collapse under their feet, and leave them dangling in the void.
​
May I cease this opportunity, by the way, to condemn the sanctions imposed on CHANNELS Television which anchored the performance of the LP candidate. As stated, I watched the programme keenly – saw the valiant efforts of the interviewer to ensure fair hearing. I fail to understand just where the station could be faulted, except from a disposition for injustice. To sustain that penalty is to give joy to others who turn Internet into a soakaway for their rancid emissions, yet feel that others should be silenced. If CHANNELS feels up to it, I offer myself willing to engage Mr. Datti – or any nominee of his - on its platform on this very bone of contention – one-on-one – without the malodorous intervention of media trolls, and with the same interviewer as mediator. That should be taken as a serious offer.
​
Project NIGERIA, I must confess, has become near terminally soul-searing. Do I still believe in it? I am no longer certain but - first we must rid ourselves of the tyranny of the ignorant and the opportunism of time-servers. In any case, there is not much else to engage one on a foundation of ownership stakes. There is of course, always the possibility of a Revolution, with a clarity of purpose and acceptance of all attendant risks, including costly errors. Revolutions are not however based on the impetus of speculative power entitlement.

No matter, until that moment, the structures that ensure just and equitable cohabitation must be protected from partisan appropriation - be it from material inducement, fake news, or verbal terrorism – the last being the contribution of one who is positioned to assume co-leadership of the nation, no less. Revolution is not about lining up behind the nearest available symbol. When a symbol does emerge however, we are still obliged to examine every aspect of what is fortuitously on offer, and continue to guard our freedoms every inch of the way.

Before I take myself off for – well, next port of call – the final word goes to a favourite maverick, propagated even as he matched his words by action. I suspect that in this instance we find ourselves on opposite sides of the strategic fence – that is democracy. This now coopted watchword of his formulation remains apt, applicable to all who strive for authentic social transformation: Your mummu done do!

Nice piece from prof.

Everlastingson:
