I watched video of Oriyomi Hazmat yesterday furious about how Peter Obi and his supporters have always been attacking president Tinubu, attacking his supporters without ever been positive about the Nigeria progress.

I have never seen such bitter people before in my life. Just because they are in the opposition, they are not interested in wishing Nigeria the best. Not to talk of appreciate all the efforts of the president.Hahaha

One thing I can assure them is, they will reap all what they have been sowing

Oga mi, I am not sure what you mean by reaping what they are sowing and I genuinely hope there will be no violence or bloodshed involved.

You and a lot of others on here are doing a grand job in repelling Obidients and showing them up for the emptiness of their being.

It is a shame that genuine political discourse is dead and buried on here just because Peter Obí came third in the fairies elections ever held in our great country Nigeria.

What pains the most is that you are no longer allowed to be neutral, picking up good points from all sides of the political debate, you must be labelled and fall in line on one side sha so that people can use their different monikers to besmich your character.

Too bad.

Tradefair Demolition: Peter Obi, Omogeye Among Others Storm Tradefair Complex!!

What a great response clarifying what the situation is by the State Government. It was restrained as well, Lord knows if I wrote that, I would have brought Peter Obí down a peg or two in the press release.

I am not sure what Pete Obi's end game is, he is playing with fire with this Ndigbo heroism at all costs tribal politics.

Unless of course, he knows he is dead politically at national level in the Federal Republic of Nigeria and he is looking to position himself strategically as a politician in the Republic of Biafra.

They desperately want to force Jonathan into the race to cut Obis support in the south south.
I just hope he is not naive to fell for that

Not true as Peter Obi has nothing in the South, if elections are called today and he returns to LP, like Olumide Akpata in Edo State gubernatorial elections, he is coming a distant, and very distant one at that, third.

SeraphicWind:
Hello Nairalanders, I don't know if I am the only one that have noticed this very evil pattern in Nigeria especially here on Nairaland forum. This pattern is always enforced by the supporters of the current president of Nigeria whom I honestly doubt their sanity.

What pattern is this?

You as an Obidient are doubting the sanity of others, is this a case of pot and kettle or sand and log of wood I wonder?

Whilst you have a point somewhat about Tinubu supporter's blanket defence of their man, guess where they learnt it from?

Genuine political discussion is dead here, and we know the group of people that killed it, because you can't state your honest opinion without being pidgeon holed and your opinion subsequently dismissed or bring insulted and abused for having the audacity to state it.

Don't start a fire and start crying when it consumes you please.

Everybody is just saying what they want sha, I don't know which is more ridiculous, Peter Obi saying he would do only one term or Atiku saying he will step down for a younger candidate.

And Dino hasn't even opened his mouth yet, anyway at least we know what ADC thinks of the electorate.

Streetinvestor2:
How does this stop the hunger and poverty created by SW president.
If u don't have answer then close this topic.
U must tell nigerians

So any thread that doesn't have the answer of how to "stop the hunger and poverty created by SW president" should be closed?

That is the only thing we should talk about for now àbi? Can't you Obidients fund your own portal that you can control what people say and leave others to say their own on this one?

Look at the effontery of confidentiality talking about shutting people down just because the are challenging Peter Obí.

If this is how you Obidients behave in opposition. Lord help us if Peter Obí ever becomes President, freedom of speech would certainly be non existent.

Tok ya own make odà pipo tok dere own.

Despite Uzodimma closing markets, businesses etc so that Owerri, capital of Imo State, could receive Tinubu, it flopped big time

Tinubu came to Owerri accompanied by over 20 Governors, but only about 200 APC supporters came out. Much of the rest of Owerri didn't bother coming out

Maybe they thought it was a Monday.. ... Bikonu I jus dey play ó.

It is surprising to me that President Tinubu's daughter's office didn't clarify things before heading to the palace.

Iyalọja and iyẹki mean the same thing even though the latter does a bit more, well a lot more in truth, around the market.

Wasn't there an issue in one of the markets, either Ekiosa or Ọba market, were an Esan woman was looking to install herself as Iyẹki and the Benin women in the market were kicking against it. I hope this installation is not in the same place as that will be adding fuel to the fire.

I like the passive aggressiveness of the Ọba (gha to kpere baba) sha, gently putting people in their place like he did to Olumide Akpata.

Obasanjo stressed that education and knowledge remain the most potent tools for Nigeria’s survival and development.

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned that Nigeria’s surging population poses a grave threat to national stability, cautioning that failure to address it could unleash a crisis worse than Boko Haram.

Speaking on Tuesday at the inauguration of the Bakhita ICT Centre at the Catholic Secretariat in Sokoto State, Obasanjo stressed that education and knowledge remain the most potent tools for Nigeria’s survival and development.


“By the year 2050, people like the Sultan will be here. I am not praying to be here 25 years from now,” Obasanjo said.

“We will have the problem of 400 million Nigerians that have to be provided with food, work, that have to be satisfied. If we fail to prepare for that, Boko Haram of today will be a child’s play. We have to take care of it now.”

The former president urged Nigerians to embrace unity in diversity and reject divisive narratives being pushed by external actors.


“If our diversity is taken along with good governance with everybody being included, then we will get there. Not only will we be respected, we will be counted among the leading nations of the world,” he said.

Obasanjo also commended Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah for spearheading the ICT project, describing the new centre as a facility for all Nigerians—irrespective of ethnicity, religion, or gender.

In his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, thanked Obasanjo for gracing the occasion and urged Nigerians to emulate his commitment to promoting unity.

The Sultan stressed the urgent need for collective action in tackling insecurity and fostering development.

Representing Governor Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Dikko, the Chief of Staff to the state government, praised both Obasanjo and the Catholic Diocese for the initiative.

He assured that the state government remains committed to promoting technology education as a way of creating opportunities for future generations.

Oga, you yourself are very responsible so some of the population explosion. How many children do you have?

Are you people not seeing the white scamming African through meme coin, do you know how much Nigerian have lost to fake memecoins hype to high heaven? We are our problem, when the white scam black it's not sin but when black scam white it's sin. I'm not supporting evil but there should be justice and balance

You are supporting evil.

Stop scamming people, you will eventually be caught.

Even though they control both houses, they still need at least 60 vote for the bill to pass and they will need some democrats to be on their side for that to happen

Ah so it isn't a majority vote situation, ok thanks for explaining

We referring to Ladoja telling Atiku say na we dey power, so I cannot support u against my Yoruba brother even though we are good friends from our SDP days.

I am not Yoruba, and to the best of my knowledge. Yoruba is probably the greatest & most recognized respected tribe from Nigeria, so why will a Yoruba person want to deny being Yoruba?

Nor mind SeeWahala. I don't know who paid him to be policing monikers upandan.

Zooposki:
Im just happy she is not my friend. If not, na series of thunderous slaps she for chop for my hand to reset her dull brain. Just imagine, after 13 years? You no ask him why him wait 13yrs?

She is bearing in her imperfect relationship, going through the ups and downs and pushing on in her life despite it all.

You that you have your own perfect relationship, you want to use your hand to destroy another person's imperfect own, just because it doesn't suit your own definition of whatever, what exactly do you women gain with this attitude?

All the political parties started since 1960 has led Nigeria where?

Maybe your own might be different sha, who knows. Maybe when you too see money swirling around, you will hold onto your principles instead of cashing out or fighting over money.

FreeStuffsNG:
The shutdown comes hours after the Republican-controlled Senate failed to pass a government spending bill.

Is it coincidental that 48 hours after he gave Palestinians 48hr deadline for Isreal " to finish the job" in the continued genocide in Gaza, his own government was shut down? 🤔 It can only be the God of the powerless and vulnerable.

Will he blame Putin, China , Hamas or Antifa for this too?

He will rather give tax to billionaires, fund the genocide in Gaza and shut down his government than fund Obamacare that gives subsidies to his vulnerable citizens. This is eedi. He has lost it completely and I pray he gets it back before all the babies, children and women in Gaza are completely killed by his proxy war on Palestinians.

Is this the first time ever that a party that is in the white house and controls Capitol Hill are shutting down their civil service?

Anyway, na dem vote for am.

A Nigerian woman is celebrating as her longtime partner finally made their union official, 13 years after they first got together and started a family. The couple exchanged vows at the Lagos State marriage registry, where the bride looked radiant in a white gown, carrying one of their children. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The bride shared that she had been with her partner since 2011, recounting a journey filled with both challenges and joy, including frequent quarrels along the way. Despite the ups and downs, she expressed immense gratitude that their love story culminated in marriage.

She joyfully stated:
“After 13 years in this relationship, maybe even 14, since 2011 when I first met him, it’s now he decided to marry me. I’ve already given him two children. I really tried; it wasn’t easy. After all the fights, we’re here today.”

The groom, meanwhile, kept his remarks brief, acknowledging that various factors had delayed their wedding but opting not to go into specifics. He shared:
“There are things I’d rather leave for God. As the saying goes, not everything seen from the top of the palm tree can be spoken about. Let God be the judge.”

The couple’s story is a testament to love, patience, and commitment, inspiring many who have faced long journeys before officially tying the knot.

I celebrate with you madam, hopefully the formslisation of your relationship doesn't cause even more challenges as I am sure you know being officially married means jack.

Oga you sef no try, 13 years.

Some of our past and current leaders deserve this type of judgment for plunging this rich nation into extreme poverty with their massive looting of our treasury.

Isn't this the guy that took over from Mobutu, or is that the other Congo, anyway wàhálà nor dey finish for óbodo Africa.

Our so called saviours, especially millitary ones, will always come and treat us worse that the ones they replace (and I know Kabila was not a soldier before any smart Alec turns up).

Pat Utomi and President Tinubu are best of friends, something is cooking here.

Nobody should take this news at face value as there is some politics being payed in a "hiding in plain sight" manner.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/09/jonathan-will-contest-return-to-aso-rock-as-president-in-2027-jerry-gana/

Goodluck contesting makes zero sense to me as he is a weak leader seemingly only able to surround himself with crooks and vagabonds.

It feels like some people realise President Tinubu has South South in the bag, like Peter Obi has South East and Atiku has North East, and want to split those votes somehow.

Brilliant art of politicking in truth, to me this looks like "The voice of Esau but the hand of Jacob" at play.

2027 will be interesting, let's hope Peter Obí finds a party by then whose platform he can contest on. If Obidients don't spoil it for him.

Dalohad:
How about the online Agberoe bullies of our Yorubaland. Should they be allowed to run amok online unencumbered?

This thread is based on the South East, however to answer your question, churlish "Agbero bullies of Yorubaland" need to learn to sometimes (mostimes sef) ignore Obidients provocation.

gidgiddy:
Nigeria has long failed, and what we should be thinking about is peaceful dis-integration let the their component units of Nigeria have the seperate countries, and develop according to their talent.

Why not start a Political Party on the platform of that same peaceful integration and see how many people will join you and if you will be able to have elected members in state and national parliaments?

Would be interesting to see if Obidients would have still wanted Nigeria dissolved if Peter Obí had won?

Shawarmagirl:
Chai Kwara once a South West State is gone and conquered by Fulani, now Northern State.

Chai, Peter Obi once had a bona fide chance to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which is now gone as he was conquered by President Tinubu in the cleanest elections ever held, and now is only reduced to playing opposition politics.

I am not surprised to read this, Ndigbo are great people, the absolute salt of the earth.

Aligbo and Ndigbo get a bad rap and that is totally unfair, totally.

Obidients need to stop all this bad behaviour, they are tarnishing the name of a wonderful tribe, very unfair and unacceptable to boot.

Happy birthday to a super country, not perfect but what or where is?

If I had to start all over, there are lots of things I will do differently, being a Nigerian is not one of them.

Now I know that Reno is sick 😷

There is nothing Reno can say that you will accept so rest.

ekineme:
Thank you for your concern for his H.E PO, now kindly face your own candidate, your opinion is not needed here.

So on a website dedicated to Nigerian politics, people should not be allowed to pen their opinions because it doesn't align with yours.

Why not start your own portal called Obiland and only allow eulogising of Peter Obí there.

Honestly we dodged a bullet in this great country of ours, imagine if Peter Obí had won the elections, Obidients for don kpai us all finish nor gree us say pim.

Danisaint112:
By their statement you shall know them. I'm not surprised seeing people like you who love twisting words to suite you narrative.

Did you watch the video at all, you and your fellow obidients are the ones twisting his words. He clearly referred to "political power".

Please feel free to tell me exactly in the video where he said what you stated.

Winnin009:
Normally. See as he even perpetrate the thing. Very foolishly.

Same number
Emails tied to you
Accounts tied to you

Omo! Dem suppose flog am first

Honestly it's not his fault, when some come across money so easily, dem go lose guard kwik.

Ever since he's made his ill gotten money, Ọga has been surrounded by yes men, money is no object as babes just they do turn by turn ontop him bed.

It's a distortion of reality and as soon as someone suggests to go and flex in US, he buys his first class ticket and is ready to go. It will shock you to know he planned or agreed the trip in less than a week.

The house always, always wins in the end.
