He was racist.

He knew he was causing such disaffection, he wore a bulletproof vest when he was in public.

Aren't we racist/tribalistic and wicked to our fellow Nigerians

Ibos vs Yorubas vs Hausa vs Fulani...

You should honestly be mortified. Your president catches a sneeze and suddenly it’s a first-class ticket abroad, while the hospitals here resemble abandoned warehouses. Imagine the irony if you ever fall sick and realize there isn’t a single functioning facility in your own country to save you—what a tragic epiphany that health can’t be padded into the budget or stolen into your pocket. Speaking of budgets, I’m quite certain this current budget was drafted in splendid isolation—no research, no strategy, just generous room for padding, looting, and creative mathematics. Bravo.

You all cant just do anything without mentioning Peter Obi

Man's a living legend.
How can a man whom you claim came in a distant 3rd position be giving you all sleepless nights.

Are they also affiliated with the Obidients?
This situation echoes the very concerns Peter Obi has consistently raised — that public funds must not be spent recklessly. Unfortunately, we continue to witness leaders like Wike and Tinubu behave as though they are beyond accountability, using our collective resources without transparency, as if Nigerians have no right to demand answers.

Hehehe.

Dangote sabi say di guy man dey always like name things afta imself.

helinues:
Please tell us the motives behind the ones he has been attending

Between the ones he has been attending and the Buhari's burial, which should be important?

None of your frigging business!!

He doesn't owe you any explanation. For goodness sake, the man's a private citizen.

Oh, so political strategy now includes attending funerals as a PR stunt? Interesting.

Peter Obi doesn’t need to turn a burial into a campaign rally to prove his popularity or respect. Leadership is about principles, not photo ops. But hey, what do we know?

I feel indifferent. It’s unfortunate that in his eight years as president, he didn’t prioritize building a world-class hospital as a lasting legacy for himself and for Nigerians. Instead, he chose to spend public funds on treatment abroad. Nonetheless, may he rest in peace.

Lol.

The "guy man" skillfully dodged the real issue — Abuja public schools have been shut for months, yet no word on that.

A new Nigeria is truly PO (Peter Obi) abeg. We want a functional system we can proudly bequeath to our children.

We need a Nigeria First leader, not this ... (fill the blank spaces)

While Abuja public schools remain shut, President Tinubu is busy in St. Lucia, awarding scholarships to their students. Our own children are at home, classrooms locked, futures hanging in the balance — yet he prioritizes foreign applause over local progress.

Nigeria must be great in our time. We won't stop speaking until leaders learn to put Nigerians first. Give them Back2back, until they get it right.

helinues:
Keep your votes in 2027

So you voted for President Tinubu with the expectations of getting hand out right?

Are you not getting paid for being a complete nuisance here?

What is good for the goose, is good for the gander
Lalude abeg collect your money.

Tinubu lacks the ability to inspire genuine followers , there’s no organic love for him. People don’t truly believe in his vision; they’re simply looking to cash out under the guise of campaigning. The proof is plain to see: data boys on Nairaland get paid stipends to whitewash his drug-tainted, poor governance image and attack H.E. Peter Obi.

You sit comfortably gloating, oblivious to the chaos unfolding—until the entire nation becomes one sprawling IDP camp. This is what happens when leaders parade incompetence as governance. You’ve failed to resolve the same security crisis that forced thousands from their homes, and now your APC-led disaster is dragging the rest of us into the same pit. The suffering in existing IDP camps is already inhumane, yet your government responds with rhetorics mocking IDPs. Keep mocking.

esnbrutality:
Same you celebrated the pictures posted on this same platform when it was IGBO youths killed senselessly by the same Military establishment.

Now you are having feelings abi...

Good day...una never see anything.

Dey play

Are you its EKPEITUT
I can never do such. I'd never mock the dead no matter the circumstance.

So be double sure before you throw accusations around online

There is be a law against posting pictures of our fallen gallant soldiers. Learn to respect the dead, this men have families.

I mean imagine coming online only to see the body of your loved one in this condition.

Rest in peace to the gallant men who laid down their lives.

It’s heartbreaking that your ultimate sacrifice was made under a government that may never truly honour it.

When reports claimed that over 200 "bandits" were neutralised, there were no images, no proof — just silence. But now, as our soldiers fall, we’re met with graphic, demoralising photos plastered across the media.
What exactly is going on?

When Peter Obi says Nigeria is a crime scene you lots start attacking him. Just look at the monumental corruption that Tinubu's body language is encouraging.

Truth be told, we cant continue like this. We all should be begging Peter Obi to lead this country.

The fact that you're getting closer to the day you die.

This isn't strange,he's only continuing where buhari left off.

No vision, no plan, no clue — just old slogans, recycled excuses and empty promises.

Tinubu’s presidency is proof: you can’t give what you never had.

Absolutely! Peter Obi is on a righteous rampage — giving them “back to back” with surgical facts, icy composure, and that signature clarity. Peter Obi is not taking any prisoners. He’s not just opposing; he’s decoding dysfunction, torching incompetence, and dragging corruption into the daylight — all without raising his voice.

While others waffle in excuses, he’s raising the political bar so high even seasoned looters need a ladder. And let’s be honest — you can’t cut Timlubu any slack. After two years of national drift and abysmal leadership, mediocrity doesn’t deserve mercy — it deserves a microphone and a mirror. Abeg loud am!

Timlubu never passes up an opportunity to gloat about holding the office. It’s as if deep down, he knows he didn’t truly earn the trust or mandate of the people—and so he overcompensates, clinging to the title with a desperation that betrays his own insecurity about its legitimacy. His constant self-congratulation feels less like confidence and more like a man trying to convince even himself that he belongs in a position he was never truly qualified for.

Whose brilliant Idea was It to reintegrate "Repented" bandits and terrorists into the military? The consequences are too obvious.

Only in a country so deeply broken would such a reckless policy even be considered, let alone implemented. Nigeria's security architecture is already overwhelmed by corruption, infiltration, and sabotage. And now, instead of tightening the ranks and rebuilding trust within the armed forces, we're handing uniforms and weapons to people who, just yesterday, were killing innocent citizens and ambushing our soldiers.

Let’s be clear: bandits and terrorists do not "repent"—they regroup. They exploit weakness, they study systems, and they infiltrate. By absorbing these so-called “repentant” insurgents into the military or national programs, Nigeria has effectively invited the fox into the henhouse. We're arming those who once destroyed entire communities, displacing millions and turning entire regions into war zones.

Why would anyone make this decision unless they were either spectacularly incompetent or actively benefiting from the chaos?

This is not just a bad policy—it’s a national security disaster. One that places every Nigerian at risk. And if history is any guide, these so-called “repentant” terrorists will resurface again—stronger, smarter, and deadlier—because we keep opening the gates and handing them the keys.

A nation that ignores history is doomed to repeat its worst chapters — and Nigeria is now paying the steep price. We were warned. Pa Ayo Adebanjo, a voice of conscience and elder statesman, pleaded with Nigerians not to entrust Bola Ahmed Tinubu with power. He didn’t whisper it—he shouted it, backed by truth and documented history. But tribalism, propaganda, and elite manipulation drowned out the warning.

This is the same Tinubu whose murky past includes a forfeiture of $460,000 to U.S. authorities over drug-related proceeds. Not an allegation — a federal court document. Yet somehow, that wasn’t disqualifying enough for the ruling elite and their INEC collaborators.

Now, under his "renewed hopelessness" agenda, Nigeria is collapsing. Inflation is devouring salaries. Insecurity is back on steroids. Hunger is knocking on every door. And what is Tinubu’s response? Empty speeches, foreign medical trips, and cosmetic appointments.

This isn’t just incompetence. It’s wilful sabotage masquerading as governance.

To those still defending this tragic regime — history won’t be kind to you. Nigerians are awake now. And no matter how long the night, the morning always comes.

The persistent slaughter of innocent men, women, and children in Benue State is nothing short of a national disgrace — and the Nigerian government's inaction is criminal. For years, the people of Benue have cried out for protection against marauding herdsmen and armed militias, and yet their pleas fall on deaf ears. What kind of government turns a blind eye while its citizens are butchered in their ancestral lands?

This is not just negligence — it is complicity. The federal government, with all its security apparatus, has failed spectacularly in its most fundamental duty: to protect lives and property. Instead of decisive action, we see cowardice, indifference, and sometimes even veiled justifications for these atrocities. Communities are razed to the ground while Abuja issues empty press statements and meaningless condemnations.

What excuse does the Nigerian state have for this level of dysfunction? Why are military operations swift and brutal in some regions, yet sluggish and impotent when it comes to Benue? Is it because the lives lost are mostly poor farmers — people without political clout or economic leverage? If so, it exposes the rot at the very heart of our so-called democracy.

History will remember this government not just for its failure, but for its betrayal. The blood of Benue people stains not only the hands of the attackers but also those in power who stood by and watched it happen. And if those in authority cannot or will not protect their citizens, they have no moral right to remain in office — they should resign in shame.

Enough is enough.

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads (my humble self included) out there! Your strength, love, and guidance shape the hearts and futures of those you care for. Today, we celebrate the quiet sacrifices, the big hugs, the life lessons, and the endless support you give every day. Thank you for being our heroes. 💙👔 #HappyFathersDay

SmartEnergyng:
You don’t need to call the Obidient movement hateful when it keeps screaming it from every rooftop.
The anger of youths, when channeled constructively, is indeed powerful. But the Obidient movement confused raw rage with strategic reform. What started as a hopeful wave of youth-driven change quickly turned into an online mob—loud, tribal, intolerant, and allergic to dissent.

Your critique, while laced with eloquence, reeks of selective amnesia and intellectual dishonesty. It’s easy to reduce a mass movement to hashtags and hyperbole when you're comfortably detached from the realities that birthed it.

Let’s be clear: the Obidient movement was not a digital tantrum—it was a visceral response to decades of state failure, elite impunity, and generational betrayal. If the anger felt raw, it’s because the wounds are real. Dismissing that energy as “mob behavior” conveniently sidesteps the fact that traditional political structures—those you now romanticize—have thrived on silence, suppression, and rigged legitimacy.

You accuse the movement of intolerance. But perhaps what you really mean is that it refused to defer to the old guard’s monopoly on failure. The so-called “digital tyranny” you lament was simply people rejecting gaslighting and euphemisms in favor of blunt truth. And yes, that truth was uncomfortable—for those who built careers defending a broken status quo.

You ask what Peter Obi built after 2023. A fair question. But maybe a better one is: What did decades of your “national balance” and political coalitions deliver—beyond recycled incompetence, nepotism, impunity, looted budgets, and patronage dressed as governance?

SuperEagles:
Yet you 2 can not create a thread on that.

Instead you are labouring in vain to deflect criticsm from obidient (Igbo) senseless tirade on SM against obidient from eveey other tribe.

It's laughable how any call for accountability and competence is instantly reduced to tribalism by people like you. Your predictable deflection says more about your bias than any point you're trying to make.

What exactly has blind tribal loyalty delivered for Nigeria? Corruption? Insecurity? Collapsing infrastructure? Surely you're not immune to the same disastrous governance the rest of us are enduring.

The Obidient movement was never about a political party or tribe — it's about Nigerians who are simply tired of recycled failures. People are hungry for real change, not stale rhetoric. You don't have to like it, but you can’t ignore it. Let that sink in.

DMerciful:
Obidients this, Obidients that....for goodness sake 200 persons were killed in Benue yet Obidients is your problem

The level of insensitivity from APC and its supporters is honestly sickening.

Over 200 Nigerians were slaughtered in Benue, entire communities wiped out — and instead of addressing the genocide happening under their watch, they’re busy obsessing over Obidients.

This is what happens when power becomes more important than people. When propaganda matters more than lives. When a ruling party loses its moral compass so completely, it can’t even acknowledge the suffering of its own citizens.

Obidients this, Obidients that — is that your priority when bodies are piling up in Benue?

Shame on every single enabler of this silence.

Tflex01:
His first clash occured when he was asked to pay some money to join a Peter Obi Support Group and to collapse his Naija Lives Matter structure into the support group. He refused. That was in 2022.

This is just rubbish (pardon my french)

Who asked him to pay? Is he not an adult? If someone demanded money, he could have asked questions, verified the source, or simply walked away. But to now spin this into a grand "clash" with Peter Obi? Please.

Let’s be clear: Peter Obi has never asked anyone to pay a dime to join the Obidient movement. And he certainly doesn’t need anyone to "collapse" their structure into his. People joined the movement willingly — not because they were offered cash or forced to merge anything.

This weak attempt to rewrite history and paint himself as a victim is dead on arrival. If your excuse for not standing with the Obidient movement is some shady payment story from 2022, just say you were never really committed. No need for fiction.

Obidients joined because of values — not transactions.

Wickedfact:
You demand accountability from others but praise your own.

What did Obidients say when Otti praised Tinubu and what did Obidients say when Makinde praised Tinubu?

What did Igbo Obidients say when Ozigbo left LP and what did you say when Okupe left LP?

What did you Obidient Igbos say when Tunde visited Tinubu and what did you say when Cubana Chief priest visited Shettima?

Nobody wey no get brother.
In 2027, you Igbo Obidients will learn painful lessons.

Oh, so now the big strategy is digging up who praised Tinubu and expecting Obidients to cry tribal tears? Cute.

Let’s be clear: when Otti praised Tinubu, Obidients dragged him. When Makinde did, he got the smoke too. Nobody got a free pass — not even Okupe, who was Peter Obi’s campaign DG. He left, and guess what? We moved on. No tears. No tribal kumbaya. Just standards.

But of course, you already know that. You just need a new narrative to distract from the fact that your entire movement relies on dividing Nigerians by ethnicity because you have zero vision to sell.

This isn’t 2015. Nigerians are wide awake. Obidients are not bound by bloodline loyalty — we’re driven by principles, and if that threatens your recycled political machine, good.

So if you think 2027 will be about teaching “Igbo Obidients” a lesson, go ahead — try it. We’ll be right here, teaching Nigeria the lesson that tribal politics is dead.

It has become clear that the APC’s latest tactic is to use random, unverified social media accounts to falsely label the Obidient movement as hateful. These posts are then amplified by their media allies in a desperate attempt to discredit Peter Obi and distract from the real issues Nigerians are facing.

We must not fall for this cheap manipulation.

The Obidient movement stands for accountability, progress, and peaceful democratic engagement. We do not speak through anonymous trolls, nor do we engage in hate. Every political movement has bad actors—but it is intellectually dishonest and cowardly to use fringe comments to smear an entire group or its leader.

Stay focused. Stay peaceful. And don’t let propaganda define our voice.
