So now Tinubu and APC are also responsible for Aisha Yesufu fighting NDC and Seriake Dickson drawing boundaries? Are you people ever tired of this addiction to excuse-making? Must every internal quarrel be blamed on outsiders? At some point, adults take responsibility. Not every fire in your house was started by the neighbour; sometimes your own people were the ones playing with matches.

Obi lives rent free in Apc and data boys head .
Everyday Obi this Obi that.
Shame on Yekini and his myopic supporters

Obidients attacked everybody — APC, PDP, ADC, Tinubu, Atiku, Soludo, Yoruba, Igbo, anybody who no kneel before their political altar. They turned insult into strategy and abuse into activism. Now that the same fire they lit is burning back toward them, they are suddenly crying foul. But what is good for the goose is good for the gander. He who throws pepper in the market should not complain when the wind blows it back into his own eyes. If you make bitterness your political language, do not act shocked when others become fluent in it too.

ruggedtimi:
Dickson dey talk too much oh.

Dickson’s core line is simple:

Obi is the party’s candidate, but the party is bigger than any one entrant
supporters cannot claim to back Obi while running down NDC itself
joining a platform does not mean capturing it overnight

it is “nonsensical” to support Obi while disparaging him (Dickson) as party leader or disparaging the platform carrying Obi’s ambition.

ImoleNaija:
Who is dragging who everyday?

Does Tinubu even know or care about Obidients' existence?

Maybe Obidients movement does not support you with enough data to see the clip. See 👇

"Why will (self-acclaimed) supporters of NDC be raising unnecessary issues that even the APC is not raising against NDC?" Dickson said.

A movement that fights on too many fronts soon discovers a painful truth:

when you make enemies everywhere, you may wake up one day and find yourself surrounded. unfortunately obidients are too politically daft to understand this.

River Wey No Get Bank: The Obidient Flood

River wey no get bank na flood. That proverb fits the Obidients perfectly. A movement without restraint soon becomes a danger, not only to others, but to the very man it claims to defend. Instead of helping Peter Obi build allies, too many Obidients attack everybody — parties, elders, rivals, even fresh partners in new coalitions. The Aisha Yesufu–NDC and Seriake Dickson drama is just another reminder that when followers refuse boundaries, they become a burden. Politics is not won by flooding every field with anger. It is won by channeling energy with discipline. A river with no bank destroys villages; a movement with no limits destroys its own candidate.

Harvesting Enemies for Obi (Part 1)
On President Tinubu

They attacked Tinubu morning, afternoon, and night, then act shocked that Tinubu’s camp now replies. He who throws stones in the market should not forget that his own roof is made of glass.

A wise politician plants friends. A foolish movement plants quarrels. That is the tragedy of the Obidient phenomenon. In their hunger to defend Peter Obi, many of his loudest supporters have turned politics into a pepper market, flinging abuse at everybody in sight — Tinubu, Atiku, APC, ADC, NDC, Soludo, Dickson, Keneth okonkwo ,Wike , Onanuga , elders, allies, and even those who merely ask inconvenient questions.

Now the harvest has come.

The same people they insulted are answering back, and Obidients are suddenly behaving like men shocked that smoke has entered the hut they set on fire. But the proverb is clear: **he who spits into the air should not complain when it lands on his face.**

Politics is not won by gathering enemies like firewood. It is won by gathering allies like yam seedlings. A movement that attacks every bridge will one day discover that it has built itself an island. And islands do not win national elections.

The Obidients mistake noise for strength, abuse for courage, and blackmail for persuasion. But a drum that makes the loudest sound is not always the one leading the dance.

In the end, Peter Obi’s real problem may not be his opponents outside the gate. It may be the loyalists inside the compound, busy harvesting enemies where a smart politician should have been planting friends.

Very good!

Can the kindly use the same technology to track the kidnapped children?

If it were that simple, no country in the world would still have kidnappings. Drones and surveillance technology are powerful tools, but they are not magic. They work best when there is timely intelligence, clear coordinates, usable terrain, communication intercepts, and enough care to avoid killing the very victims you are trying to rescue. Terrorists move hostages through forests, villages, and human shields. So yes, the technology should be used — and it is being used — but rescue operations are not video games. The goal is not just to find children; it is to bring them back alive.

Ritchiee:
It is not everytime that we knock our security agencies,let us encourage them when they do well.
Werey,those bandits they caught in Abuja,na your yansh dem dey track them?
While there are some bad eggs among our security agencies,we should acknowledge that they currently trying going by the number of bandits and terrorists they have been able to track and arrest.
I just hope that they do more to delete insecurity in Nigeria.

Thanks bro.
To say government is complicit in insecurity as if soldiers and security personnel are also arranging their own deaths is not only illogical, it is unfair and unpatriotic. Our troops are dying in the line of duty, our officers are being ambushed, and many families are burying sons who wore the uniform of this country. You may criticize government strategy, demand better leadership, better equipment, and better results — that is your democratic right. But do not insult the sacrifice of our soldiers by talking as if they are partners in the evil that is killing them. A nation that mocks its own defenders weakens itself twice: first before the enemy, and then before its own conscience.

LordIsaac:
I agree with Dalung on this.

You are agreeing to complete verifiable falsehood. Google is your friend but some of you are so intellectually lazy that you cannot do basic fact check.
It is false to suggest the security agencies are sitting idle or fighting terrorism blindly. They are already using drones, air surveillance, and precision strikes to track and disrupt terrorist operations. The problem is not total inaction; the problem is that the threat has also evolved, with insurgents themselves now using armed drones and adapting faster than before. Reuters, AP, and other reporting show both realities at once: the military is actively striking and foiling attacks, but the insurgents remain dangerous and adaptive.

KomonSense:
The government need to prove to us by their actions that they are not the one sponsoring the bandits and terrorists.

Criticize government failure where it exists, but do not lie that the security agencies are doing nothing. Drone-supported surveillance, precision airstrikes, and upgraded combat systems are already in use. The battlefield is active, the enemy is evolving, and the state is responding — however imperfectly. Politics should not erase facts.

willyben:
This guy called Image123, my prayer for u is , let either ur family, brothers or sisters or wife or kids go through thesame things those innocent children are going through in the hands of these EVIL MEN cos ur support of this EVIL REGIME IS TOO ANNOYING

And my prayer for all those of you turning insecurity into campaign material be cursed for your evil and satanic ation. that all your 'ur family, brothers or sisters or wife or kids go through thesame things those innocent children are going through in the hands of these EVIL MEN you are the ones that are evil and that will be punished. by the way, here is the truth: Criticize government failure where it exists, but do not lie that the security agencies are doing nothing. Drone-supported surveillance, precision airstrikes, and upgraded combat systems are already in use. The battlefield is active, the enemy is evolving, and the state is responding — however imperfectly. Politics should not erase facts.

sleeknaija:
You guys are always passionate when defending failure of your paymasters.

please go and do a basic research. The assertion is verifiale falsehood y a misguided and so irresponsible to turn insecurity to 2027 campaign material.

Jeezuzpick:
Does it mean that what he said is false, though?

Yes , it is false . Nigeria’s security agencies are already using advanced surveillance and air power, including drone-supported operations, to track, disrupt, and strike terrorist positions. Reuters reported in March 2026 that Nigerian troops, backed by precision airstrikes, repelled a major Boko Haram/ISWAP assault on a military base in Mallam Fatori, killing at least 80 insurgents after anticipating the attack. AP reported the same operation and noted that the attackers themselves used armed drones, while the military responded with air support.

There is also evidence that Nigeria is expanding this capability. Punch reported in May 2026 that the Army had acquired advanced TP-2 combat drones while the Air Force carried out fresh strikes on terrorist positions in Borno. The Ministry of Defence also said in May that the federal government is committed to modernising the Armed Forces through technology and local capacity development.

CodeTemplar:
Same way they have men & mobility to quell protesst in all 36 states but not to go after 50 terrorist at a time.

In moments like this, Nigeria turns into a marketplace of megaphones—everyone shouting, few people weighing facts. One camp cries, “Electronic transmission is dead!” Another celebrates as if democracy just got a brand-new engine. But seriousness demands we separate *law from lore, **text from temper, **facts from fear. Here is the plain truth. The controversy centers on one surgical edit in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, 2026: the removal of the word *“real-time”* from Clause 60(3). That single word would have made real-time electronic transmission mandatory. Its removal was defended on the grounds that poor network coverage could endanger elections in some areas. What many voices deliberately hide is this: the bill does **not* abolish electronic transmission. It largely retains the 2022 framework, where transmission is still permitted *in a manner prescribed by INEC. So this is not technology versus darkness. It is **mandatory real-time transmission versus INEC-regulated transmission. So why the panic?
Because panic sells. Fear is the cheapest fuel in Nigerian politics. It is like a trader who breaks your cup so he can sell you his bowl, or men who shout “fire!” in a crowded cinema and later pose as rescuers.

The real political lesson is simple: once discretion exists in law, the true battlefield becomes **implementation, transparency, and oversight*. Citizens should focus less on theatrical outrage and more on enforceable safeguards.
in subsequent write ups i shall dwell on what these enforceable safeguards are and introducing smart elections guard pro and how this system was successfully deployed in the Anambra governorship election of Nov 8. Stay tuned.
