Show me the political nonsense that Adeboye said about gej.Then the political nonsense he has been saying in support of the drug baron to redeem members
I saw your post on Bishop Oyedepo as you claim to be a winner. For me i no longer worship at winners Bishop Oyedepo is man of God I still highly respect. His stand for choice of candidate has be clear since 2023.Don't go posting lies. And the pastors trained under him still makes it clear like pastor Paul Enenche. His vote wisely against poverty, hunger and insecurity is clear against the drug baron. You are to fake

You accused Pastor Adeboye of political endorsement, yet Adeboye has never openly stood on the altar to say: “Vote Tinubu.” He has never mounted the pulpit to present APC or any party as “the way to go.”

But you are defending Pastor Paul Enenche, who openly and carnally pushed Peter Obi, and you are defending Oyedepo’s “vote wisely” as if “vote wisely” means “vote Peter Obi.”

That is the hypocrisy.

When a pastor says something you can twist in Obi’s favour, you call it courage.
When Adeboye makes a general comment that does not fit your anger, you call it nonsense.
When Enenche openly endorses Obi, you call it prophetic clarity.

But if it was truly prophetic clarity in 2023, how come it did not come to pass? Obi came third. He lost clearly.

If another pastor had openly endorsed Tinubu, you people would have called him paid, corrupt, fake, hungry and compromised. But because Enenche’s pulpit faced Agulu, suddenly carnality became prophecy.

This is not spirituality. This is political double standard wearing choir robe.

And please, God does not read Obidient manifesto before deciding what is right. Poverty, hunger and insecurity are real issues, but your interpretation of them is not automatically the voice of God.
Enenche’s political preference is still a pastor’s political preference. It does not become “Thus saith the Lord” because Obi is involved.

The Bible says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. So when pastors drag partisan carnality onto the pulpit and package it as divine direction, they are not sanctifying politics; they are reducing the altar to campaign furniture.

If Enenche, Oyedepo or any pastor wants to campaign, let them campaign as citizens. But the altar should not become a polling booth.

As for “prophetic clarity,” Isaiah 55:11 says God’s word shall not return to Him void, but shall accomplish what He pleases. So if people want to dress their political preference as God’s position, then they should also have the humility to ask why that “prophetic clarity” collapsed at the ballot box.

The Lord will validate what He supports and openly repudiate what He rejects.

And as for calling me fake, no surprise. The modern Obidient behaves like the Pharisee: anyone who does not bow before their political idol is fake, blind, compromised or paid.

But I will say it again: Obidients don’t hate political pastors; they only hate pastors whose pulpit is not facing Agulu.

Shame on those who try to use God’s pulpit to smuggle their political idols into people’s conscience.

Prof Odinkalu's Selective Environmentalism With Obi Colouration. by CharlesCNG

Nobody serious should oppose ESIA compliance. If Anambra State is building a second airport, industrial city or aerotropolis in Ndikelionwu, the government should publish the relevant environmental documents, consult host communities, show compensation plans, disclose mitigation measures and remove ambiguity. That is basic governance.

But Odinkalu’s argument is not just about ESIA. It is wrapped in political suspicion.

First, this project has not been entirely “secret.” As far back as September 2025, Punch reported that Anambra officials spoke of a proposed airport and industrial park in Ndikelionwu, with the airport MD describing it as part of Soludo’s smart megacity/aerotropolis vision.

The same day, the government later pushed back, saying the report was speculative and that technical investigations were being done to determine suitable transport systems for the Anambra Mixed-use Industrial City. So the fair criticism is poor communication and policy inconsistency, not necessarily “secret airport” as if bulldozers landed from heaven at midnight.

Second, asking for ESIA is legitimate. Declaring the project doomed, secretive and a future white elephant before demanding and reviewing the actual documents is politics wearing environmental lab coat.

Third, the word “aerotropolis” is not automatically fraud. Many serious airport-city projects combine aviation, logistics, industry, housing and commercial corridors. The question is not whether the word sounds big. The question is whether Anambra has the traffic, funding model, land-use plan, investor structure, environmental approvals and long-term economic logic to sustain it.

That is where serious people should debate.

But because Soludo is involved, some Obidient-adjacent critics suddenly become environmental saints. If this was Peter Obi announcing “Anambra Dubai-Taiwan Airport City,” the same people would call it visionary, disruptive and world-class.

Let Soludo publish the ESIA. Let the host communities be consulted. Let compensation and ecological impact be clear. But let us also stop pretending that every Soludo project is automatically suspicious because he once told Obi hard political truths.

Environmental accountability is good.

Political bitterness wearing ESIA helmet is another thing entirely.

Streetinvestor2:
Tell us what pastor Paul enenche says about the drug baron too
We support obi and we are called Obidients as our brand name
Or you have Obidients now supporting the drug baron because the drug baron can create fake of everything..lol

So what does it matter whatever political nonsense Pastor Paul enenche says? he was expressing his own personal opininon. Please check out my just uploaded article on that.

Pastor Paul Enenche and the shameful 2023 Politicisation of the Pulpit.

During the 2023 presidential election, Pastor Paul Enenche did not merely express a private political preference. He publicly endorsed Peter Obi, describing him as “the way to go,” while his enormous religious platform gave that preference the weight of spiritual authority.

A pastor remains a citizen and may support any candidate. But the pulpit is not an ordinary platform.

It is where worshippers expect to hear: “Thus saith the Lord,” not “Thus advises my preferred political camp.”

When Jesus entered the Temple and saw sacred space being converted into a marketplace, He overturned the tables and declared:

“My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” — Matthew 21:13

The lesson is unmistakable: holy ground must not be converted into a marketplace of private interests.

Turning the pulpit into a campaign rostrum similarly risks trading spiritual authority for political influence. Congregants may struggle to distinguish a pastor’s personal preference from divine instruction—especially when political endorsement is wrapped in prophetic language, prayers and religious symbolism.

Pastors who wish to campaign should do so openly as citizens—from political platforms, town halls or campaign grounds.

But the altar belongs to Christ, not APC, PDP, Labour Party or any candidate.

The pulpit must remain a compass pointing souls toward God, not a billboard pointing voters toward politicians.

When pastors drag partisan politics onto the altar, they do not sanctify politics.

They diminish the pulpit.

Elsanchez:
I never mentioned the name of any Politician but I can see Peter Obi is a threat to you lots.

At this point, if you can't see that this current regime is a failure, then I suggest you donate your brain to the furthering of science.

According to you; The pulpit should guide conscience, not become in any candidate's campaign stage.

You clowns should have advised the drug peddler when he rented fake bishops to paticipate in his campaign during the last elections.

Not that I care about the rubbish these so called 'God of men' have to say, at least if they come out plain, they will save their gullible members the time used in praying for a 'God sent candidate'

My friend, thank you for proving my point yet again.

You began with "I never mentioned the name of any politician," yet the very next paragraph is about Tinubu.

So who is really obsessed?

You also called me a clown and suggested I donate my brain to science.

Unfortunately, neither insult answers my argument.

My point was simple:

If you condemn pastors for using the pulpit to campaign, then condemn all pastors who do it—not only those whose politics you dislike.

That is called consistency.

But that still does not answer the question before you.

Was it right for pastors to use the pulpit to canvass support for any presidential candidate?

Yes or No?

Notice how you have carefully avoided that question.


So I'll ask once more:

Should the pulpit be a place for partisan political campaigning, regardless of who the candidate is?

That is the issue.

Everything else is deflection.

Major General John Enenche is no APC propagandist.
Major General John Enenche (retd.), former Director of Defence Information and elder brother of Pastor Paul Enenche.
He openly backed Peter Obi in 2022 and served briefly on the Labour Party campaign council.
He is also the elder brother of Pastor Paul Enenche, another prominent Obi supporter.

Yet when Enenche appeared on Channels Television after the rescue of the abducted Oyo pupils and teachers, he did something increasingly rare in Nigerian opposition politics: he acknowledged the truth.

He praised the security agencies and government for the successful operation. He said Nigerians should be proud of the operatives and give them the encouragement needed to do more.

But he did not become a government praise singer.

He also identified weaknesses, demanded greater innovation and urged the authorities to close the security gaps that allowed the victims to remain in captivity for 56 days.

That is responsible opposition.

It recognises success without surrendering the right to criticise failure.

It asks questions without manufacturing answers.

It demands improvement without dismissing every achievement as propaganda.

This is the difference between an Obi supporter and an Obidient Doubting Thomas.

An Obi supporter can admit that a government he opposes has done something right.

The typical reflexive Obidient first asks whether the development helps Tinubu politically. If it does, he doubts the rescue, invents a ransom, imagines a terrorist exchange or demands that security agencies prove reality to his personal satisfaction.

Even Peter Obi welcomed the rescue and commended those involved. Yet some followers remained more partisan than their candidate.

General Enenche has demonstrated the proper role of opposition: applaud what works, interrogate what fails and propose what should improve.

Opposition should be a watchdog, not a denial machine.

Patriotism is not pretending that government never succeeds. And criticism is not automatically credible merely because it is hostile to government.

When overwhelming evidence confronts us, honour requires acknowledgment.

General Enenche understood that.

The obidients should learn from him.

Olofofo247ng:
THE CRIMINAL AND FEMI GBAJA

The criminal said he never met Femi Gbaja.

The criminal said he spoke to a man on his late friends phone but does not know if that man was Femi Gbaja.

The criminal said he does not know if Femi Gbaja is innocent or guilty.

The criminal is a known 419 who has scammed many & whose criminal friend, partner & colleague died in mysterious circumstances in a so-called fire.

The criminal was fired from his former job for doing 419.

The criminal admitted to meeting so many Government officials & foreign dignitaries under false pretences pretending to be what he is not.

The criminal admitted that the fraudulent & fake organisation he headed had offices at the Federal Secretariat & a vast allocation allotted to him in the budget.

The criminal admitted to having 300 staff & workers working for him in that fake organisation.

The criminal was clearly not working alone but was part of a criminal organisation which was working closely with many other criminal elements, scammers, murderous souls, 419ers & corrupt elements in the system.

Whoever those criminal elements that he was working with are I have no doubt that Gbaja was NOT one of them.

I say this because a man that is part of a criminal enterprise & mafia-like syndicate will not be the one to be the whistle blower or expose the crime as Gbaja has done.

A man that is part of a criminal enterprise will not sue one of its primary players & leading figure for 10 billion naira in a defamation suit as Gbaja is doing!

That is basic logic & only the dull or malicious cannot work that out or refuses to accept it.

Most damning is the fact that the criminal has now run away & refuses to hand himself over to the security agencies.

If you have nothing to hide & a story to tell why should you run?

My view is that the criminal & his late partner fell out over money & that the former took the latter out.

My view is that there is an orchestrated campaign by certain elements to destroy Gbaja & get him out of his position in order to make the President vulnerable.

Let me repeat it in case you didn't get it clearly the first time: the Gbaja they are all accusing was actually the person that investigated the matter, exposed the activities of the criminal & his fake agency & reported both to the DSS, the EFCC, the ICPC, the Police & the other security agencies for N/A.

He did this not today but well over one year ago.

It is only in Nigeria that the man that exposed & reported the crime & that insisted on the perpetrators being investigated with a view to being arrested & prosecuted are accused of committing that same crime that they exposed themselves.

It happened to me in 2008 with the Aviation Intervention Fund.

I was accused of stealing 6.8 billion naira that was stolen before I became Minister, that I exposed as being stolen, that I probed & that I reported to the then President and the EFCC.

Despite this I was arrested & prosecuted for 7 years to the day for committing a crime that I exposed, that I reported & that took place before I became Minister.

I won the case after 7 gruelling years even though the media pronounced me guilty from day one. For those 7 years the media demonised me & my family & called us criminals in the press every day & they had no interest in considering the facts or knowing the truth. All they wanted was my neck & my blood.

It took 7 years & 3 separate judges later before I was cleared, acquitted & declared "not guilty" on every count & each & everyone of my accusers paid a heavy price for their wickedness.

They are trying to put Gbaja in the same mess but it won't work because he has risen to the occassion, fought back, come out with the facts clearly, set the record straight & done no wrong.

He also has the confidence of a President & Government that cannot be intimidated or fooled by media trials or evil men who seek to destroy one of his brightest & best men who has done NO wrong.

To this extent it is like music to my ears that Mr. President has directed the ICPC to investigate the entire matter & report to him within 30 days. I have no doubt that at the end of it all Femi will be fully vindicated!

I urge urge him to face his work & ignore his accusers, malevolent detractors & trollish destroyers.

Most of their hate is borne out of nothing but envy & "bad belle" & we have seen this many times before.

He will surely prevail & his accusers will pay a heavy price for their lies & their evil.

As for the criminal that calls himself an Ogbomosho Prince even though he is far from being one, he will be caught, exposed, prosecuted & be sent to jail for the rest of his life.

He may also have questions to answer about his partner in crime's life that was mysteriously cut short in a fire!

As they say every day is for the theif but one day is for the owner.

The criminal has been exposed & he will be brought to justice for his criminal ways, his greed, his evil, his false allegations against innocent men and for bringing our great nation into such disrepute.

God will see to that!

This Is What Happens When Politics Blinds Judgment.

It is amazing how quickly some people suspend critical thinking once an allegation appears capable of damaging a political opponent.

Instead of asking, “Who is the accuser? What is his record? What is the evidence?” they immediately ask, “How can this be exploited politically?”

That is dangerous.

An allegation is not evidence.

An accuser does not automatically become credible simply because his story is politically convenient.

If a person has a documented history of fraud, deception or criminal conduct, that does not automatically make every allegation he makes false. But neither does it make those allegations true. They must be independently investigated, tested and corroborated.

Only a desperate opposition pronounces guilt before the facts are established.

In a serious society, the bigger questions would be:

Was there a criminal enterprise?

Who benefited?

Who enabled it?

Who covered it up?

Who exposed it?

Those questions deserve careful investigation, not partisan conclusions.

Justice demands consistency.

If anyone, regardless of status, is implicated by credible evidence, let the law take its course.

But reducing a complex investigation to “one man must be guilty because an allegation was made” is not accountability.

It is political opportunism masquerading as principle.

A mature democracy investigates first and concludes later.

It does not outsource guilt to social media mobs, partisan headlines or opposition talking points.

People keep speaking about Atiku in 2027 as if 2023 will simply repeat itself. But politics does not work like photocopy.

In 2023, Atiku was not just Atiku. He was the presidential candidate of the PDP, a party with decades of national structure, governors, senatorial candidates, House of Reps candidates, state assembly candidates, local government actors, polling-unit agents and old political networks.

That structure mattered.

The North-East numbers make the structure question even more brutal.
In 2023, Atiku dominated the North-East with about 1,737,846 votes, roughly 50.58% of the zone’s valid votes, against Tinubu’s 1,185,458 votes and Obi’s 315,107 votes. But Atiku was not carrying those votes by personal charm alone; he was carrying the PDP machine of the zone.

That machine has changed. Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, who was a PDP governor and a major Atiku home-zone pillar, has now defected to the APC.

Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas, elected on the PDP platform, has also moved to the APC. Bauchi’s Bala Mohammed has left the PDP structure too, even if not into APC.

Look at the other side of the zone. Borno was already APC territory in 2023, and Tinubu won there with 252,282 votes. Yobe also leaned APC structurally, even though Atiku scored 198,567 to Tinubu’s 151,459. These are not empty states politically; they are Shettima/Zulum/APC strongholds with deep ruling-party machinery.

Now add the bigger 2027 reality: APC currently controls Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Adamawa and Taraba, while Bauchi’s PDP structure has been destabilised by defection politics and opposition fragmentation. So anyone casually projecting Atiku’s 2023 North-East votes into 2027 is doing political copy-and-paste without checking the motherboard.
In 2023, Atiku had the PDP machine behind him in key North-East states. In 2027, much of that machine has either been weakened, ported to APC, or forced into survival politics.

How To Spot An Obidient On Nairaland: A User Guide.

Not everyone who criticises Tinubu is an Obidient. Not everyone who supports opposition politics is an Obidient.

But there is a pattern.

If it quacks like an Obidient, insults like an Obidient, dodges facts like an Obidient, and shouts “data boy” like an Obidient, forgive me for recognising the duck.

You can usually spot them by the familiar feathers.

First, they rarely answer the issue. If you raise facts, they attack your motive. If you ask for evidence, they say you are paid. If you question Peter Obi, they say you are working for APC. If you defend a point they dislike, they call you “data boy.”

Second, they confuse abuse with intelligence. Instead of argument, you get insults. Instead of data, you get slogans. Instead of reasoning, you get “fake certificate,” “snatch and grab,” “criminal,” and other recycled chants.

Third, they practice selective outrage. When a pastor, activist or elder appears to support Obi, he is a voice of conscience. But if the same type of public figure says something that does not serve their political anger, he becomes tribal, fake, compromised or useless.

Fourth, they dodge facts like rain. Present figures, they change topic. Present history, they shout propaganda. Present voting patterns, they reply with emotion.

So no, I do not call people Obidient simply because they disagree with me. I notice the uniform: abuse first, evidence last.

If it walks like selective outrage, quacks like political intolerance, and swims comfortably in insult, I do not need DNA test to know the species.

You can deny being Obidient, but if your argument came from the usual insult factory, do not blame me for identifying the manufacturer.

ogododo:
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu’s administration is struggling under the weight of its failures.


ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the Tinubu administration has failed in the areas of security, economy, healthcare, education and virtually every measure of human dignity.

Posting on X, Abdullahi said the current administration which has shown much disdain for Nigerians, has extended the same gesture to city abroad in search of better opportunities.


He wrote: “It is sad that this government, which has shown such disdain for everyday Nigerians that are struggling under the weight of its failures, has now chosen to extend that same disregard to honest Nigerians who have japa’d in search of better opportunities.

“A government that has failed, and continues to fail, on security, the economy, healthcare, education, and virtually every measure of human dignity has no business lying to Nigerians and the world that things are better for the Nigerians in Nigeria, than they are for Nigerians abroad.


“Until this government can guarantee safety, create jobs, restore economic stability, and inspire confidence at home, it should either fix Nigeria or stop lecturing Nigerians who have simply done what the government itself has failed to do: secured a better future for themselves and their families.

“For perspective, and a little bit of respect, Nigeria’s total oil export earnings in 2025 were US$31.5 billion, while official diaspora remittances for the same year amounted to US$21.8 billion.”

https://dailypost.ng/2026/07/12/tinubu-govt-struggling-with-failure-in-security-economy-health-education-adc/

ADC’s Catalogue of Complaints: Where Is the Alternative Plan?

As usual ADC's spokeman disguises political exaggeration as economic analysis.

The comparison between oil exports and diaspora remittances is especially theatrical.

Oil-export earnings are payments for commodities sold abroad. Remittances are private funds sent home by Nigerians overseas. Comparing both figures as proof of failure is like comparing a company’s sales with money sent to employees by their relatives. Both bring foreign exchange, but they are not the same thing.

More importantly, large remittances did not begin under Tinubu. Nigeria has received billions from its diaspora for decades.

The ADC has mastered the easy part: listing problems.

Where is its alternative?

Will it restore fuel subsidy?

Will it revive multiple exchange rates?

How will it fund healthcare and education?

What is its security architecture?

How will it create jobs without increasing debt, taxes or inflation?

A serious opposition does not merely shout that the building is uncomfortable. It produces a better architectural plan.

Until the ADC presents a detailed, costed and coherent programme, this remains political commentary—not an alternative government.

aswani:
Let's tarry a while, I think Peter Obi said he'll sue Sahara reporters. Maybe he will do so tommorow.

Walahi for all we laugh at Peter Obí and his Obidients and their delusion of victory at the polls, the fact that someone so tainted can even be hailed as a hero by so many should be studied.

Tainted by Pandora papers, tainted by religious bigotry, tainted by making the wrong decision of parties to hop to like a tadpole, tainted by claiming he won elections without proof and tainted by letting NDC walk all over his supporters and tainted practically everytime he opens his mouth.

Yet he still has a small minute percentage of the country as rabid fans that can go to battle for him online.

Crazy stuff!

Peter Obi wanted the advantage of religious mobilisation without the responsibility of owning the words when the tape entered public market.

It takes total complete intellectual dishonesty for a man to describe an election as a religious war in private, deny it in public, threaten lawsuit when exposed, and then quietly move on when the noise dies down.

So the fair question is simple: does Peter Obi still believe elections are a religious war in 2027?

If he does not, let him say clearly that reducing Nigerian elections to Christian-versus-Muslim mobilisation was wrong.

If he does, then Nigerians should know that behind the soft voice and “go and verify” slogan is a politician willing to weaponise the pulpit when it suits him.

You cannot preach competence in public and whisper religious war in private.

That is not leadership. It is intellectual fraud.

YesDaddyTill203:
The Religious War partner in crime with Obi, the Agulu religious war bigot.

I came ot the conclusion that Obi is complete scum when Obi denied the authenticity of the religious war tape, even though the other person on the tape did not.
It only goes to show the level of Obi's depravity, shallowness, and narcissistic tendencies.

It takes a pathological liar, a scum, and a real sore loser to deny something so open to the rest of the world.

He said he would sue the Gazette; that was 3 years ago. He has yet to sue them.

The issue is not even the tape alone. The issue is the denial.

Peter Obi allegedly told Oyedepo that the election was a “religious war,” yet when the tape became public, he denied it and called it fake. Premium Times reported that Obi and Labour Party described the audio as “fake” and “doctored,” while also threatening legal action.

But years later, where is the major court victory against Peoples Gazette? Peoples Gazette reported in 2023 that Obi threatened to sue them, and the outlet stood by its story. In 2025, Peoples Gazette reported that Obi’s spokesman said Obi had no plan to sue, only that he had threatened legal action.

That is where the intellectual dishonesty comes in.

A man cannot allegedly frame an election as a religious war in private, deny it in public, threaten lawsuit when exposed, and then quietly move on when the noise dies down.

So the fair question is simple: does Peter Obi still believe elections are a religious war in 2027?

If he does not, let him say clearly that reducing Nigerian elections to Christian-versus-Muslim mobilisation was wrong.

If he does, then Nigerians should know that behind the soft voice and “go and verify” slogan is a politician willing to weaponise the pulpit when it suits him.

You cannot preach competence in public and whisper religious war in private.

That is not leadership.

That is political sanctimony wearing choir robe.

ILoveNG:
Igbo Christian don drop quote

In other words, you are saying that before he counts Yoruba Christians against Tinubu, he should aptly first check whether Obi’s 2023 sympathy votes in the South-East are still in one piece.Aptly said.

agulion:
I don't think any reasonable yoruba Christian will vote for a Muslim Muslim ticket again

Before you worry about “reasonable Yoruba Christians,” you should first worry whether reasonable Igbo voters will still give Peter Obi that near-monolithic ethnic sympathy vote in 2027.

Because 2027 is not 2023.

In 2023, Obi enjoyed novelty, emotion, protest energy, religious anxiety, and ethnic solidarity. But by 2027, he will have more people to contend with in his own region and political backyard.

In the South-East, he now has Soludo to contend with. He has Umahi working strongly with Tinubu. He has Hope Uzodimma. He has Alex Otti’s own political calculations. in Enugu state , he has the formidable and very popular governor to contend with.
He also has the reality that many voters may ask: “After all the noise, what exactly has Obi built politically?”

So don’t assume 95% again like it is family inheritance.

As for the South-West, Tinubu is not going to collapse there because of Muslim-Muslim ticket noise. The same Yoruba Christians you are trying to speak for are not political robots. Many voted Tinubu in 2023 despite the same Muslim-Muslim ticket, and many more may still vote for him in 2027 if they believe his reforms, appointments, infrastructure and political structure favour their interests.

In fact, Tinubu is likely to do far better in many Yoruba states than he did in 2023 because he will be running as an incumbent president, not just a candidate fighting internal party wounds, naira scarcity anger, fuel scarcity frustration and protest votes.

So bookmark this: the real question is not whether Yoruba Christians will abandon Tinubu.

The real question is whether Peter Obi can keep the emotional 2023 coalition from scattering before 2027.

ThiefnubuBandit:
When APC slaves hear 'vote wisely', they begin to jerk like spoilt engines. Shows you that these creatures have nothing useful to offer.

My friend, you got it mixed up. it is actually Obidients who jerk like spoilt engines and flap around like rain-beaten chickens whenever they hear “vote wisely.”

To normal citizens, “vote wisely” simply means: don’t vote emotionally, don’t vote with anger, don’t vote with social-media noise, and don’t vote for a man who cannot clearly articulate a serious alternative beyond slogans.

That is why the phrase triggers you people.

Because deep down, you know that when Nigerians calmly ask, “What exactly is Peter Obi offering?” the answer starts shaking like NEPA light in rainy season.

Obi is not fit simply because he has turned opposition politics into victimhood theatre. Every setback is persecution. Every criticism is demarketing. Every legal hurdle is conspiracy. Every ordinary civic issue becomes oppression.

A man asking to lead 200 million people should have more than complaints, catchphrases and sympathy.

Where is the detailed security plan?
Where is the economic transition plan?
What exactly will he reverse, retain or reform?
How will he build national consensus beyond online anger?
How will he govern without structures, governors, legislators and broad coalition discipline?

Instead, his supporters spend more time abusing voters than persuading them.

So yes, we will vote wisely.

And for many Nigerians, voting wisely means rejecting Pity-Party Peter, the candidate who campaigns with a handkerchief and calls every mirror an enemy.

Elsanchez:
He should come out plain and say it as it is, not sitting on the fence.
Vote out the incompetent, highly corrupt criminal druglord.

.....Thats for people who believe in the caricacture called elections in Nigeria.
As for me I don't think the elections are free from manipulations from those occupying power.

I agree with you — let every pastor come out plainly then.

Like Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, who openly went spiritual-political before the 2023 elections , and spoke as if heaven had sent election memo. The rest is history to the eternal shame of any so called man of God who spoke when the lord has not spoken.

This Precisely is the hypocrisy of you lying bloody Obidients: if a pastor mounts the pulpit and says anything that sounds favourable to Tinubu, immediately he becomes “paid pastor,” “APC bishop,” “false prophet,” “stomach infrastructure clergy.”

But if the same pulpit is used to market pity -party Peter Obi, suddenly it becomes “prophetic direction,” “moral courage,” “speaking truth to power,” and “vote wisely.”

You people don’t actually want pastors to stay out of politics. You only want pastors to campaign for plastic Peter.

If Oyedepo says “vote wisely,” you translate it to “vote Obi.”
If another pastor says Tinubu is the better option, you call him corrupt.
If a church member votes APC, you say he is blind.
If a church member votes Obi, you say he is spiritually awake.

That is not democracy. That is political Pentecostal remote control.

The pulpit should guide conscience, not become in any candidate's campaign stage.

And by the way, if you don’t believe Nigerian elections are free or credible, then why are you crying that Obi was not voted in? You cannot reject the system only when your candidate loses and quote democracy only when it favours you.

Ezeama400:
Same sentence “Vote wisely” that makes some people get triggered..

Triggered? Not at all.

I am an APC / Tinubu supporter, and my family has attended Winners for over 20 years. So nobody is triggered by “vote wisely.”

In 2023, I heard “vote wisely” and I voted wisely. Many Winners members also heard it and voted according to their conscience — some for Tinubu, some for Obi, some for Atiku.

That is the part Obidients don’t understand: church members are not remote-controlled voters.

And I assure you, in 2027, many, many more will still vote wisely — not emotionally, not obediently, but wisely.

The funny thing is that Bishop Oyedepo made almost the same kind of civic statement in 2023: get your PVC, vote wisely, consider character and capacity. That is not the same thing as saying “vote Peter Obi.” It is a general democratic appeal.

Christians are citizens, not remote-controlled voters.

If “Yes Daddy” automatically transferred Christian votes to Peter Obi, then what happened in the South-West in the 2023?

In Ogun State, where Winners Chapel’s headquarters is located in Ota, Obi got 85,829 votes, while Tinubu got 341,554 and Atiku got 123,831. That means Obi did not even get 25% in the very state where Winners Chapel is headquartered.

In Oyo State, Obi got 99,110 votes, while Tinubu got 449,884 and Atiku got 182,977. , so Obi’s share was only about 12.2%.

In Ondo State, Obi got 47,350 votes, about 8.59% of valid votes, while Tinubu got 369,924 and Atiku got 115,463.

In Osun State, Obi got 23,283 votes, about 3.17%, while Atiku got 354,366 and Tinubu got 343,945.

So are we now saying there are no Christians in Ogun, Oyo, Ondo and Osun? Are we saying there are no Winners Chapel members there? Of course not.

The same thing applies to Kwara and Kogi, two North-Central states with significant Christian populations. In Kwara, Obi got only 31,166 votes, while Tinubu got 263,572, Atiku got 136,909, and Kwankwaso got 3,141. In Kogi, Tinubu won with 240,751 votes, and published results show Obi far behind in the state.

So the “Yes Daddy delivered Christian votes” argument collapses under simple arithmetic.

The truth is that many Christians heard “vote wisely” and still voted Tinubu, Atiku, Obi or others according to their own judgment. That is democracy.

Obidients should stop behaving as if every pastor who says “vote wisely” has secretly endorsed their Agulu Messiah.

Vote wisely in 2027 is going to be a massive vote for tinubu.

Why haven't you shared the post to your data boy wassap group admin ? You need that 2k to feed your family

Please, if there is truly a WhatsApp group paying ₦2k per post, send the admin’s number.

Let me invoice them properly, because with the amount of Obidient tears I have been mopping here, ₦2k is too small. I deserve hazard allowance.

But jokes aside, calling someone “data boy” is not a rebuttal. It is what happens when your argument has finished, your anger is unemployed, and your keyboard starts begging for relevance.

You are shouting ₦2k because facts have beaten your argument and collected its transport fare.

Irony1:
Your last statement is gaslighting people. You cannot takeaway the right of people to be suspicious especially with govt being insincere. Please stop all this nonsense abeg.

My last statement was:

> "Some people don't want scrutiny. They want sorrow to remain politically useful."

That is not gaslighting.

It is an observation about a pattern of behaviour.

Please read what I actually wrote.

I expressly said:

* Government should be questioned.
* Security agencies should be scrutinised.
* Nigerians should demand transparency.
* A full briefing should be provided.

So where exactly did I deny anyone the right to be suspicious?

What I rejected was something different: turning suspicion into a verdict before the evidence arrives.

There is a world of difference between saying:

> "I don't trust the government's account; I want more details."

and saying:

"They definitely paid ransom" or "They definitely exchanged terrorists."

One is a question.

The other is an allegation.

One seeks evidence.

The other assumes it.

It is you who should stop the nonsense of reading without understanding and rushing to conclusions.

aswani:
That is an easy question, Obidients as one are very unhappy that those children have been returned alive and well.

They'd rather more evil happened to those innocent children so they could gorge themselves on it in their useless threads that they expect sane human beings to view and post in.

You are right. This obidients are really sick people.

Instead of relief, they rushed to suspicion.

Instead of gratitude, they rushed to conspiracy.

Instead of celebrating rescued children, they immediately started searching for a fresh grievance.

That is why I describe it as the Politics of Blood and the Disaster Merchant Syndrome—a mindset where every national tragedy is first viewed through the lens of partisan advantage.

When good news arrives and your first instinct is disappointment because it weakens your political narrative, something has gone badly wrong.

The children came home alive after 56 days.

For any decent human being, that should have been the headline.

Everything else—including scrutiny of the operation—can follow.

It is pathetic that these people have allowed politics to so conquer their humanity that they cannot even rejoice when a child returns home !!

Nothing is more despicable, disgusting and morally bankrupt than turning the suffering of innocent children into campaign material.

givedemwotowoto:
Like I previously wrote, it's impossible to argue objectively when people don't understand democracy. You haven't demonstrated that you understand democracy so I will use an analogy here (Google the word "analogy" if you don't understand it).

In a country like US with a history of racism, if a black person does something and is punished by a white person in authority, then evidence surfaces that a white person did something similar but wasn't punished by the same white person in authority, the question of racism or racial discrimination arises.

When the question of racial discrimination arises, it's no longer about whether a person should be punished or not, it becomes a potential civil violation or criminal investigation on the white person in authority.

Similarly, if a government or its agency is seen as targeting a major opposition candidate, we have crossed the boundary of a regular parking infraction, we're now in the territory of political witch-haunting and threat to democracy, because strong opposition is a core part of a working democracy.

If you guys don't understand this simple democratic principle, then there's no way we can have a productive discussion on this matter.

Your analogy collapses because it assumes what it is supposed to prove.

In your racism example, there must first be credible evidence that the same authority knowingly treated two similarly situated people differently because of race.

You have not established the equivalent here.

You have simply asserted political persecution.
I said this before, i will say it again:In a real democracy, being a major opposition figure does not turn a parking violation into persecution. In the U.S. or UK, if a former presidential candidate’s driver parks wrongly at an airport drop-off zone, the car can be ticketed or towed. Nobody will call CNN to announce dictatorship.

More importantly, selective enforcement does not make the underlying rule disappear.

Democracy protects opposition voices; it does not convert airport drop-off zones into Obi diplomatic territory.

See, Iddo Market , use 500 to rent truck, PUSH IT

It comes with more dignity, more peace of mind, more profit, good physical therapy, etc etc 🤗

NL resident Data B0i work no be better work Bros 🙁

Thank you for another practical demonstration of my point.

I wrote about narrative policing.

You replied with "Iddo Market," "data boy" and "rent truck."

Not one sentence on the actual argument.

That is the Obidient playbook in action:

When you cannot answer the point, attack the person.

When you cannot challenge the argument, manufacture an insult.

So keep the nicknames.

I'll keep asking the questions you keep avoiding.

As our elders say, "The man throwing stones at a tree is usually the one disturbed by its fruits."

Curious345:
Heediot . Make sure you share my post to your wassap group admin too. So you get paid . Porking data boy

Thank you for proving my point.

When arguments run out, the Obidient Abuse Boi arrives.

I wrote about abducted children.

You replied with "heediot," WhatsApp groups and "data boy."

Not a single fact.

Not a single rebuttal.

Not a single answer.

Just insults.


Every time you replace evidence with insults, you advertise who you are : an obidient

The children are home.

That should have been enough to unite every decent Nigerian.

Instead, you chose abuse over analysis.

Thank you for confirming exactly what I wrote.

Irony1:
Oga don't blame people when they make such insinuations. The govt has never shown sincerity right from time. Leave partisan support and let us speak truth, in the past govt will claim no ransom was paid only for the same bandits to come out and declare that Ransom was indeed paid.

My friend, this is what I call Suspicion-as-Evidence Politics.

Nobody is saying Nigerians must swallow every government statement like communion. Government should be questioned. Security agencies should be scrutinised. Public claims should be tested.

But distrust of government is not a licence to manufacture conclusions.

There is a huge difference between saying:

“Government has a poor trust record, so we need more details,”

and saying:

“They must have paid ransom or exchanged terrorists.”

The first one is accountability.
The second one is allegation without evidence.

If we say we will never believe government because government has lied before, then society collapses into permanent conspiracy. By that logic, even when soldiers arrest kidnappers, rescue children, or kill terrorists, we must still reject it because “government has lied before.”

Past dishonesty may justify caution, but it does not automatically prove present guilt.

So the proper position is simple: demand details, ask questions, request transparency, but don’t jump from suspicion to verdict.

If anyone says ransom was paid or terrorists were exchanged, let him bring evidence. Not vibes. Not “government used to lie.” Not “bandits said so in the past.”

Evidence.

Until then, the decent thing is to first thank God the children are alive, appreciate the security forces, and then demand a full briefing.

But some people don’t want scrutiny. They want sorrow to remain politically useful.

CharlesCNG:
Can somebody close enough please talk to Peter Obi?

Not every microphone is a calling. Not every interview is an opportunity. Sometimes, silence is not emptiness; it is strategy. For a man seeking to lead a complex country like Nigeria, Peter Obi talks too often, too loosely, and too compulsively.

The tragedy is that every new interview that should strengthen him often ends up shrinking him. Instead of deepening his appeal, he begins to devalue his own brand. Instead of sounding presidential, he sometimes sounds like a man chasing applause from a restless fan base.

Leadership is not a running commentary.

A serious leader must know when to speak, what to say, how much to say, and when to allow silence to carry dignity.

The more Obi jumps from one issue to another — court matters, party disputes, security tragedies, economic claims, electoral fears, and vague accusations that “they” do not want him on the ballot — the more he exposes the thinness behind the carefully polished image.

Great leaders do not answer every bell. They do not run after every headline. They do not convert every national tragedy into political oxygen. They speak with weight because they speak with restraint.

Obi’s problem is becoming clear: he mistakes visibility for authority.

But public life is not a market square where the loudest trader wins. Sometimes, the most powerful statement is the one withheld.

Someone should tell him: reduce the interviews, refine the message, deepen the thinking, and stop demarketing yourself with your own mouth.

Because in politics, as in life, silence is sometimes not weakness.

It is wisdom wearing a closed mouth.

Panic Peter: The Candidate Who Chases Every Headline.

Peter Obi is slowly becoming Panic Peter — the politician who appears to treat every breaking news item as a campaign invitation.

A school is attacked, he rushes in.
A court gives a ruling, he reacts.
A tragedy happens, he speaks.
A rumour spreads, he comments.
A political storm gathers, he is already standing beside the microphone.

Now, there is nothing wrong with a leader speaking on national issues. In fact, silence can sometimes be irresponsible. But statesmanship is not noise management. A serious leader must know when to speak, how to speak, what to say, and when to allow facts to mature before turning tragedy into talking points.

That is where Panic Peter keeps demarketing himself.

He often reacts too quickly, too emotionally, and too politically. Instead of sounding like a calm alternative government, he sometimes sounds like a man trying to harvest every headline before it expires.

Great leaders do not chase every siren. They assess, verify, consult, and speak with weight.

Panic Peter’s problem is that he mistakes speed for seriousness.

But leadership is not ambulance chasing.

Sometimes, the most presidential response is not the fastest one.

It is the wisest one.

aswani:
Which I wholeheartedly embrace so why all the attention from you in that case?

You called me paperweight and now a nobody, nutin spoil. Why not focus on others that will be worth your while?

Welcome to the Obidient control-the-narrative mindset.

First, notice he first accuse you of not entering their propaganda threads, as if you are under contract to validate their talking points. Then he complain when you open your own thread or contribute where you choose.

So what do they really want?

They want to decide where you speak, when you speak, what you speak about, and which political topic deserves your attention.

That is not debate. That is narrative policing.

He says you are “nobody,” yet he cannot ignore the nobody. He says your posts are not worth his while, yet he keeps returning to read, quote and respond. Can you see how “nobody” has become compulsory reading to this headless mob ?

This is the contradiction: they want to dismiss you as irrelevant while behaving as if your opinion is a national security threat.

The truth is simple: they don’t hate your attention.

They hate that they cannot control it.

hegelian:
You are a data boi if you own it or not.. You are only here for one thing, to defend the failure called tinubu.. You only surfaced on thread talking about obi and never in any thread discussing the suffering if the people or the failure of the govt..

Obidient abuse boi spotted again.

“Data boi” is what you obidients call anyone who brings facts to a shouting contest. Own it or not, your problem is not that we defend Tinubu; your problem is that we refuse to support Peter Obi.

And no, I am not the only one here defending Tinubu. Millions of Nigerians voted for him. Many still support his reforms. Many believe the pain is real but the old subsidy/fake-dollar economy had to be dismantled. Many of us can acknowledge suffering and still reject your empty alternative.

That is what you people don’t understand.

Criticising hardship is easy. Everybody can do that. The real question is: what exactly is Peter Obi or Atiku offering differently?

Beyond “cut cost of governance,” “move from consumption to production,” and “I will secure Nigeria,” where is the detailed plan? What will he reverse? Subsidy? FX unification? Tax reform? Borrowing? CNG transition? Coastal road? Student loan? Local government autonomy?

You people shout “Tinubu failed” as if shouting automatically turns Obi into a blueprint.

My brother, anger is not manifesto. Insult is not policy. “Data boi” is not rebuttal.

If Obi is the alternative, present the alternative.

Stop hiding empty politics behind name-calling.

Kukutente23:
It's possessed not "pocessed"
And how do you know there are no Obidients among the soldiers and other security forces that carried out the rescue
Do you have all their names and political background
Are you also saying the security forces that failed to rescue the chibok girls in 2014 were BATists?
The fact that those kids were kidnaped from their school and had to spend weeks in captivity is a failure already given the high number of kidnaping incidents that have occurred in this country
Think before you type

While you are correcting the spelling. Now correct your logic too.

When we say “Obidient” here, we are not talking about every Nigerian who voted Obi or every person who may privately like him. We are talking about a recognisable political behaviour: people who hate every good news if it does not damage Tinubu, convert tragedy into campaign fuel, insult security agencies when they fail, and become uncomfortable when they succeed.

That type of Obidient cannot be in the rescue spirit. It is like asking whether a fire extinguisher can also be the arsonist holding petrol.

Of course, some soldiers may have voted Labour, APC, PDP or nobody at all. That is irrelevant. Once they risked their lives to rescue children, they were acting as patriots, not as disaster merchants. like obidients.

And please, stop this senseless argument that because kidnapping happened, the entire rescue is meaningless. No government anywhere can guarantee that crime will never happen. Even the United States, with all its technology, still has school shootings, terrorist attacks, kidnappings and violent crime. The issue is not whether crime can ever occur; the issue is whether the state responds, tracks, rescues, arrests and prosecutes.

If your argument is that under Peter Obi no child will ever be kidnapped, no terrorist will ever attack, no criminal will ever operate, then show us the plan.

Not slogan.

Not “I will secure Nigeria.”

The actual architecture.

Because so far, Pity-Party Peter has more complaints than blueprint.
