As Nigerians, we’ve been through enough—enough betrayal, enough selective justice, enough lip service. And yet, we’re here again, witnessing Peter Obi, a man vying for the highest office in our country, practicing a brand of selective silence that is not only disturbing but fundamentally flawed for anyone aspiring to lead a nation as complex and demanding as ours.

When it comes to national issues, Peter Obi has been strangely silent, particularly when his own base or the Southeast are implicated. The latest example? The case of House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh allegedly assaulting someone—a clear-cut issue of abuse of power. Yet, from Obi? Silence. Not even a whisper. Contrast this with how quickly he springs to life, microphone in hand, when incidents occur in other regions. Whether it’s the North or the South, Obi doesn’t hesitate to weigh in, sometimes even prejudging cases before any investigation has been launched. His speeches flow like the Niger River when he perceives an opportunity to score political points outside his stronghold, but when accountability hits closer to home? Not a word.

This isn’t just a slip in character—it’s a critical failure in presidential caliber. Leadership demands consistency in values. Nigerians can no longer afford leaders who pick and choose when to stand with them. Justice isn’t supposed to be regional or conditional, but Obi’s selective moral outrage makes it seem otherwise.

Now, take a look at Atiku Abubakar. Despite his personal closeness to Senator Abbo—the same senator who shamefully assaulted a young woman in a intimacy gadget shop—Atiku made a statement that made Nigerians take notice. He didn’t mince words, didn’t dodge accountability; he publicly condemned Abbo’s actions, stating they were unbecoming of a senator and called for due legal repercussions. He didn’t hide behind friendship or affiliations. He displayed what a presidential candidate should: a readiness to hold even close associates accountable, a commitment to a standard that is supposed to apply to every Nigerian equally. That’s the mark of a leader with a presidential mindset—someone prepared to make the hard calls, even when they cut close to home.

Peter Obi, for all his touted prudence, lacks this backbone. And the silence isn’t limited to him alone. Many who should have condemned Alex Ikwechegh’s actions have turned mute, their outrage suspiciously absent. This silence from Obi and others reveals a culture that prioritizes convenience over principle, comfort over courage.

Nigeria cannot afford leaders who speak when it suits them and go silent when the waters get choppy. Real leadership requires speaking out not just when it’s convenient but when it’s necessary. We need leaders who don’t just occupy the spotlight but hold it up to everyone—including themselves and their allies. Peter Obi may have been a fine governor, perhaps even a great one. But presidential material? True leadership requires more than economic savvy or regional appeal. It requires an unyielding commitment to justice that transcends friendship, geography, and political calculations.

In the end, Nigeria deserves a leader who sees this nation as a whole, not as fractured segments where allegiance depends on the audience. Until Peter Obi can stand firm, without regard to where his support lies, he will remain a regional figure at best, a man whose aspirations reach the presidency but whose actions reveal the limits of his leadership. A great governor? Maybe. A presidential figure for all Nigerians? Hardly. And for those watching—those who still believe in holding every Nigerian to account without fear or favor—it’s time to demand more from the people we consider presidential contenders. We need leaders who have the courage to hold justice high, even when it stings their closest supporters. That’s real leadership. That’s what Nigerians deserve.

Oga, Obi is not your president, tinibu is your president tell us what timibu has done or said concerning this.

Leave Obi alone he is not the cause of Nigeria's backwardness under tinibu. Everytime Obi, Obi, Obi why call Obi when you lots connived with inec and stole his mandate.

muykem:
In 1993, Peter Obi was a protégé of Arthur Nzeribe in the Association for a Better Nigeria (ABN). They secured a midnight court injunction that nullified MKO Abiola's presidency. Obi personally delivered the court verdict to Nwosu and stopped the further announcement of the election results. This ultimately led to IBB stepping aside for Shonekan, in an arrangement with Abacha. Abacha became Head of State and expectedly did not forget Peter Obi's role ⁹ìin his ascension to power. As a reward, he tasked Obi with decongesting the Tin Can Island, where Obi made billions of Naira and subsequently became Chairman of Fidelity Bank.

Peter Obi reciprocated by joining others to convince Abacha, to transform from a military leader to a civilian President. His main contribution was bankrolling the formation of a Youths group called YEAA (Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha) headed by Daniel Kanu. The Group introduced the "One Million Man March" as a political campaign strategy in Nigeria. Peter Obi later adopted this strategy at the beginning of his presidential campaign in 2022. The Abacha project came to an end with the death of Abacha.

In 1998, when the ban on politics was lifted, Peter Obi became a founding member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). This is the point that most people know as the begining of the political journey of Peter Obi.

History will not forget every role played by any human being.

Ok, now tell us how awolowo killed Igbo children with his hunger strategy and later gave their parents 20pounds out of the millions and thousands they have in the bank.
And also tell us how tinibu embezzled and still embezzling Lagos state funds till date.

AntiZikist:
Monday is now the Ibo Sabbath

Mumu people

The same way June12 is for sad waste.
Mumu tribe.

AntiZikist:
Why are you skipping Mondays ?

Lolz 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are we talking about "Mondays" or the road that leads to imo state from Anambra?
Besides, mondays are for protest in respect of MNK.

AntiZikist:
Lolz.

That road is now competing with Zamfara -Funtua road and Sambisa expressway .


If dem born you well enter that road and see if dem no use you do ise wu

All the useless things you've been saying here, only happened in your head. The nature of my job made me to, always waybill things to different parts of SE and SS daily except on Mondays. And the drivers am using don't complain of any negative thing, concerning the road you are talking about.
You are lying. Am not surprised anyway, after all lying is something that has been part of sad waste people.

AntiZikist:
Isn't it the same road that the Suoersport's video crew where attacked and killed on their way to Uyo to cover the Super Eagles qualifier match ?

And so what? So that's the reason why the road was abandoned in your brain.

AntiZikist:
Keep decieving yourself.

Orlu and Orsu are now ghost towns.

The road leading to Imo from Anambra is now abandoned by commuters all because of your cannibal terrorists.

The reason why your useless leaders are calling for Kanu's release is so that the terrorist in chief will call his lunatic squad to order and if that fails to happen, you will then shamelessly go begging the FG (that is Nigerians) to come and clear your mess of a region.

If them born you enter Anambra -Owerri road and see if dem no go kidnap you and if you no settle , if dem no go use you do ritual and roast your corpse chop.

You are the one decieving yourself. Hate and evil thoughts is what is making you to say and, believe that the road leading to imo from Anambra has been abandoned by commuters. How can you be in Ogbomosho cave and be telling us what is happening in Igbo land?

You liars and propagandists talk as if people no longer reside in SE. For your info I stay in the East you can't tell me about SE.

Corporate2020:
Na Ogun go kee him Mama.

After picking up arms against the rest of the country, what do you expect? Kisses and hugs?

Who picked arms against the country and how?

AntiZikist:
Projection and perpetual victimhood are signals masking an underlining deep ambition.

Stale!
You so much hate the truth with passion.

AntiZikist:
And your yeast is now a savage jungle filled with cannibal terrorists going about kidnapping, raping extorting , kidnapping , pillaging , robbing butchering and consuming you guys .

The 'zoo" is far better than that your Hobessian shithole.

Why is Orlu and Orsu a ghost town? Are you going to have your Biafra and be living in the zoo?

Continue ..
.

Anything that will ensure you get sense by force I am in support of.

The bolded is nothing but state sponsored attacks coupled with media lies from lagos, Ibadan compromised gutter press. All in a bid to paint IPOB black so that the good people of SE will hate anything IPOB and Kanu.

The good thing is that we know the truth and our real enemies.

If what you see as having sense, is to accept Nigeria and T-pain just know that you've failed.

ElSudani:
UGM sympathizer.
The unfortunate thing is that they are killing their own people more than anyone else.

Why are you so angry and bitter over what she said? Were you expecting us to believe the army and the compromised Nigerian media just like that?

You must be a joker.

MadamVanessa:


Fulani bandits are twerking effortlessly everyday in the north,no single arrest have been made. They even have social media page, notably " tiktok" were they upload their videos and often make a caricature of the idiotic uselèss government of the zoo, insult their fóolish INEC appointed president, yet the terrorist in uniform for once haven't made a single arrest. Una go arrest tire na, bunch of uselèss idiots .

Thank you my sister. I have never seen a jungle like Nigeria in my entire life.

AntiZikist:
Nigeria a zoo but your useless Biafra is now a jungle

Zoo is better than Nigeria because, there is orderliness in the zoo and there's nothing like ebi mpawa, sku.ll mining and IDP camps in the zoo. But all these things are in Nigeria nyafu nyafu.
But in SE people are living in peace, they don't shout "ebi mpawa" and there's no IDP camp in SE.

AntiZikist:
Cannibal, what I am very happy from what the OP posted is how the Nigerian security forces have washed their hands off from protecting you guys from your criminal terrorists .

Orlu has seen to many of its residents and indigenes fleeing their homes to places like Owerri or even outside Imo and that your yeast.

I am happy that you chose to suffer in silence out of shame.

You guys can't complain about your so-called "gallant freedom fighters" now.


Those criminals are no different than Fulani bandits in their activities. They are levying taxes on hapless residents of your yeast. Collecting outrageous amounts in the name of property taxes. Before you bury your dead, get married or even do Thanksgiving you must pay them a hefty sum. Is this not why all your so-called big men are now holding marriage and burial ceremonies outside your yeast?

What I love is how you idiots can not cry to the FG for help now that it has become abundantly clear that all the criminal activities and acts if terrorism in your yeast are carried out by your socalled freedom fighters?

You are on your own. When e too hook una, you go cry to Tinubu to save you.

Loads of junk from a sad waste bitter cannibal/sk☠️ll miner.
Leave SE alone and face your sad waste people that are still in IDP camps bene republic.

aswani:
Not so much agreed though they themselves fritter away their resource allocation monies.

However, under Eastern Region, they won't see shishi. In fact Biafra would spend a good chunk of its time fighting minority separationists.

They are better if as states in Nigeria than under Biafra.

How do you know all these?
I hate it when people say negative things out of hate.
What benefits have those minority tribes benefited in Nigeria apart from marginalisation and odi treatment?
The gold in zamfara is for the zamfarans alone, but the oil in Niger delta is for the whole Nigeria and their elites.

aswani:
So Eastern Regional government (aka Ndigbo) will control Eastern minority oil.

The fact that oil producing communities have been identified and have been given their own states to (mis)manage their oil revenue is much better than a BS accord.

The big question is, do they control their oil now that they are in Nigeria?

Elusive001:
They won't come to this thread bro.

They cannot face the truth. They are allergic to it. The good thing is that they are having Nigeria of their dreams. Thank that Danjuma and Gowon are alive to witness it.

Helinues is this true?

ipobcannibals:
Ipob terrorist has spoken….may that biafrau.d happen to you and your fellow ipob cannibals will feast on your flesh alive, just as a hyena eats its prey alive—Ewu!

Ogun sku.ll miner terrorist is on the prowl doing what he knows best. May nizooria under t-pain happen to you and your fellow sku.ll mining terrorists.
May your sku.ll be mined the same way you mine that of others amen.

Ezi!

Sultanofpiglets:
Your two brothers ...

If you have two brothers that died in the SE, because they came to extort and kill IGBOs. HELL IS THEIR PORTION.

If they DIED in the SW because of your brothers that are Organ harvester's. Don't stress because your region is already CURSED


If they are almajiri in the NORTH they are cursed...

But...if .

YOU DONT HAVE brothers , but you say all this to INSULT the SE and all they HOLD DEAR, your generation and unborn will be wiped out by those you appreciate and support.

I will kill a 'CHICKEN' to secure this prayer for you, the person behind this 'okoroawusa' Moniker.

Your own don BE...

Useless fvcktard

Okoroawusa the Igbo wannabe that's what I call him.
These are people we need to run a DNA test on to ascertain if they were fathered by Yoruba or Fulani. Am not doubting his paternity because he is against kanu no. Am doubting his paternity because he is against anything Igbo including Peter Obi.

Ojiofor:
Mbanda gidgiddy Sultanofpiglets.
Some of you are umuoma boys terrorist human flesh eaters.Then come online to whitewash a satanic cult called ih.pob created by Eze ndi ekperima Nnamdi Kanu to terrorize ala Igbo for financial gains.
Then anyone who dare to say the truth become a fulani blood to these murderous vampires from the pit of hell.

Abeg who is this ezi ohia? Can you imagine, the ezi is accusing people without evidence or proof that's uncalled for. If you know you are saying the truth why not give us evidence or proof of all you've been saying.

Ezi!

Ojiofor:
A criminal that is facing treason charges already will sue me for what?
You are such a joke.

The joke is on you since can't understand simple english.

Ojiofor:
The only proof anyone needs is the state of insecurity in Igboland as result of Nnamdi Kanu's criminal leadership in Igboland.

I talk am you don't have any proof. That is to say if Kanu and his group decides to sue you to court, for character assassination you will be jailed for sure because you don't have any evidence.

Ojiofor:
We have seen where he have led once a very peaceful dynamic and happy region into.Now everyone lives in the fear of unknown gunmen he created and those who can afford to have already relocated to a more peaceful region.Is his leadership a curse or a blessing to ndi Igbo?It is even a curse to Nnamdi Kanu himself.

What you and your cohorts have against Kanu is mere accusations and propaganda courtesy of Nigerian media lies. You don't have any verifiable proof to show apart from media lies and propaganda.

coputa:
They Are Helpless And Can Only Watch As Their People are Kị́lled and Injustice Prevail Against Their People - That's Exactly The Plight Of Ndị́ Igbo In Nigeria

Tinubu has not only refused to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He has also refused his lawyer's access to him for the past month.

These things are happening and no Igbo governor, Senator, traditional ruler, or religiou leaders is talking.

But how can they talk when their position is at risk? Should they talk tough about the injustice meted out to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, their everything will be lost.

How can a Senator talk when their corruption is staring them in the face. Do you want the Nigerian government to deploy EFCC, DSS, and NAFDAC against them? They will always have something to blackmail them with.

Asking Traditional rulers and Church leaders in the East to talk is like forcing the deaf and dumb to talk. They get goodwill donations from the government and talking against the evils ravaging his people will not only mean poverty for them but also facing a jail term.

Should a top businessman dare comment on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's unjust treatment by Nigerian government, his goods will be ceased, and his business destroyed. Do you remember Ibeto Cement? That's what Igbo people suffer in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a wị́cked country that hăte Igbo people.

Brothers your governors and Senators are all helpless. They are complete slaves to the one Nigeria Fulani-controlled government.

Do you think if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a Fulani man or Yoruba man he will still be in jail?

Kabiru Sokoto was the one that bombed Madula Catholic Church kị́lling more than 70 people. He was Fulani and a Northerner. He was taken in by a Northern Senator. He was later arrested and also freed. That's after kị́lling lots of people.

As I write this, no Fulani herdsmen terrorists are in jail or under trial for kị́lling many Nigerians in their villages. 300 hundred were murdered in Agatu Benue State in just one-night attack. More than 30 kị́lled in Uzouwani Enugu State. To this very day, no Fulani is standing trial anywhere in Nigeria.

Sunday Igbogho was quickly freed. He is Yoruba, claiming to be fighting for the Oduduwa Republic, but the Nigerian government doesn't find him a threat.

But Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, an Igbo, the leader of Indigenous people of Biafra asking for referendum, has been held for four years now by the Nigerian government. Even when the court freed him, the Nigerian government still refused to free him. They have kept him away in a DSS dungeon, and now they have refused his lawyers to see him.

It is a helpless situation for every Igbo out there in Nigeria. I watched a Video of Kanayo O Kanayo talking about how he travelled from another Yoruba state to Lagos without seeing a single police or military checkpoint. But from Enugu to Anambra and Onitsha to Owerri, you will see hundreds of military and police checkpoints. Igbo land is under military cage. They have imprisoned us. Igbo land is now a giant prison yard. And we all are prisoners.

Forget the affluence. Forget the security men following these Igbo governors and Senators. They are all puppets enjoying little from the oppressors in other to control all of us for the Fulani control government. Yes, I said Fulani controlled Nigerian government because even Tinubu is also under their control, while Fulani is directly loyal to the British government.

My dear friends,

We have to keep educating our people. We have slaves, puppets and petty thieves as political leaders in Igbo land.

Shameless people who can't even stand tall to demand justice for their brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. When Orji Ụzọ Kalu was under persecution by the Nigerian government, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not keep quiet. He spoke out loud and demanded he should be released. This outburst helped.

None of these people are Igbo leaders. None. Leaders should be courageous to defend their people. Not people who will celebrate someone who committed genocide against their people and ask his people to forget the kị́lling of 3.5 million of their people.

Ndi Igbo, you have only one leader, and his name is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Elochukwu Ohagi, Philosopher, Teacher and Activist, 2024.

This is the honest truth. Whether people like ojiofor likes it or not MNK remains the only true leader of Ndigbo and Chukwu Okike will continue to bless him.

Bigkoko:
It was a fine working day when Asari dokubo the fat, clearly obesed hog from Buguma or Okrika in Rivers State, started the same hubris his likes are known to do; throw jabs at the Igbos! Omooo, the Igbos who are renounced for their doggedness, strenghth of will and Never-die akpu obi. Naim thius fat smellydisased hog say he fit sell off as slaves...all becuase he was looking for Chief Maiguard contract of oil & gas installations at his backyard! Nothing wey hungry no fit cause!

As usual he was warned and adviced that his correct path, and partnership leads noway, because na from crawling we dey take know pikin wey go waka fast fast...... the fat hog didnt listen. from one demeaning name to another, and all these while cheered onto his disgraceful path by yoru-muslims and other Ronu adherents.

Now, jungle don mature. That common sense wey small boyi boyi boys in Onitsha, newi, Aba get, naim this agbeya no get! so na today you know say yoru people na betrayals? When betrayals meet each other, they must betray each other. So your mama no teach you this common sense?n Na this kind person fathers dey deceive small children enter bush, bundle them sell to slave raiders. The blood still flows. Anyway, Asiwaju try for this one!

See our dear patriotic fat hog. The moment small money touch him hand and he reason to set up school, the mumu forget Niger delta, but quickly go Benin Republic go open school! This one too, na freedom fighter! Tompolo go just dey laugh the diseased hog!

Words on the street has it that the fat, lazy hog was only rewarded with a photo shoot and handshake right in front of Aso Rock...and ever siince then he has been clearly blocked from even having a phone call with his friend, ati father Asiwaju.


Hear him on his video to undersatnd the mental health of some people the Ronus cheer as supporters of sons of oduduwa, and antagonists of the Igbos!

Asari Dokubo the controversial Ijaw Militant leader has released a video lamenting the betrayal of of the Ijaws and Niger Deltans by the yorubas after the ijaws worked and voted their son Bola Ahmed Tinubu into power.Asari in the video vowed that the people of the Niger delta will henceforth only work with the northerners by firming alliance with them.

In the video he said “ I apologise to our fathers Melford Okilo and Prieye that they were not wrong for forming alliance with the north , and as young men we will now start same alliance ( with the north) now. As from today I will work ! Work work ! to form alliance with the north and crush any other opposition, because for those who hate us, we do not mean anything to them, whatever Ijaw people do do not mean anything to them !!……..All over Ijaw land we will spread the message that it is only northerners that can work with Ijaw people !…. We cannot work with Yoruba people they are betrayers !!!….. We risked our lives vited and did everything and this is what we get ?!!

Another one down remaining rino omockery helinues take note.

Lionnation:
Mumu man very unstable idiot be focused no , always chasing after crumbs from politicians. Fool

Oh! He is now a fool to you because he chose to speak the truth now? Were you not among the sad waste people that were cheering him on all social media platforms when, he was fighting Igbos for the sake of this tinibu? You are now disappointed in him because you think, he will keep pointing his gun towards Igbos and never in tinibu's direction

For your info, rino omockery is next so, you and your cohorts should get ready.

Jemis:
Who take this man serious again

But you Sad waste people were hailing him when he was fighting Igbos
It's remaining rino mockery, we are patiently waiting for his fallout

masterfactor:
Kanayo should go and rest, Places like the south west, south south, North West and some part of North Central don't have such military presence. The elders of the South East, sat down and watched Kanu and his urchins turned the south east into a war zone, Now the chicken has finally come home to roost, they are all crying fowl. What a man planted so shall he rip.

It's not about typing rubbish on NL with your cheap phone, it's about the negative outcome of the military extortion checkpoints in SE.
One day the people will revolt against it and you will be among the sadists that will be saying rubbish here on NL. Leave Kanu alone he is not the cause of Nigeria's backwardness.

mightyhaze:
not well but better than tinibu


Meanwhile tinibu in my local dialect means add to the weight or add to the suffering

Exactly nwannaa

helinues:
Even those who never held dollar before also dey shook mouth about the currency exchange

Hian

This your rubbish na talk? Do we need to tell you that dollar rate effects most of our goods in the market, especially goods that are not made in Nigeria.

I now believe it when people say that, the number one criteria of becoming an APC member is, to stop making use of your God's giving sense of reasoning.

Nomercie:
Seriously

Before nko?

helinues:
But Ojukwu who convinced his people to convert their old Nigeria currency to worthless Biafra pounds which was a deliberate scam was what?

Is it not the same scam method, Ralph of Massob( He sold Biafra passport without having a single embassy), Nnamdi Kanu and now Simon Ekpa have been using to swindle their own people?

If Boro was a joke, then Ojukwu was a pure comedian and a coward. He started a war and eventually ran away

The bolded is a big fat lie. You lie too much and that is the reason why, am always on your mentions countering your lies and propaganda.
Ojukwu did not start any war, gowon and his gang of criminals did.
