Only Zombies Are Obedient – Femi Kuti by Niece: 9:46am On Aug 12, 2022

London born Nigerian musician, Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti popularly known as Femi Kuti has expressed his disdain for supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, insinuating that they are a group of slavish characters who, like zombies, are incapable of thinking for themselves and making their own decision.

The musician said he is a smart and independent minded person who can’t be ordered around like a zombie. Peter Obi supporters are known as “Obedience,” as zombies, he added.

Zombie was the title of a studio album released in 1976 by his late father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, when he excoriated the Nigerian soldiers as a bunch of robotic and senseless individuals. The song, which went on to be one of Fela’s greatest hits, followed a raid on his residence in Lagos at the time.

“You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there zombie,” Kuti opined during a performance at the Shrine Thursday night in Lagos, wondering why Obi’s popularity has surged exponentially in recent months.

“How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obedient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obedient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful,” he said. “Are you all okay in this country?”

Obi’s candidature has garnered grassroots support from young Nigerians who see him as a better alternative to other candidates in the 2023 contest.

Peter Obi's campaign is propelled by a horde of young Nigerians who describe themselves as “Obedient” followers on social media

wink grin True that. That's why Obi can do no wrong in their eyes (which is a recipe for dictatorship). Same way they were 'Obidient' to Mazi Kanu is the way they're Obidient to PitObi. In other words, Obi is a repackaged MNK. We've all seen what Kanu's zombies are doing to their homeland; you dare not speak publicly against ipob's terrorist activities in igboland else you lose your head, it's like they're under seige and can't do anything about it.

Can Nigerians withstand an army of intolerant, acerbic, and belligerent Obidient zombies/'zombidients' with presidential backing?

This fool has messed himself up with narcotics. Just look at the nonsense he wrote and ask yourself if this guy is okay at all.

This fool at 40 is so dum.b he couldn't decipher that "Obi-dient" is coined from Obi, the name of the Labour Party presidential candidate? Why is he angry that Nigerian youths are trying to force a change and move the country away from the status quo of rot and decadence?

Anyways narcotics and bigotry is a deadly combo that will mess anyone up. Someone that ought to be a role model is busy disgracing himself.

Shame on you Femi, the legendary Fela Kuti would be disappointed in you.

It just a fact going by the way people are abusing the use of the word 'obedient'. No Nigeria politician is obedient. Obi is Obi

Obi himself knew how far he can go with this election unless it's not in this same Nigeria. Abiola was winning Tofa due to some factors, Obasanjo won because the North selected him and also Jonathan. Atiku is going to win 2023, the system has been in motion since 1914, adjusted in the 1960's, boosted in late 70's and 1999.
Who remembered what happened to Awo and Zik in 1979 & 1983?

The North hold the ace. See what happened when Atiku went for wedding last week, see the crowd, obi is not marketable in the North, forget media hype. PDP knew this and decided to jeopardise Wike's presidential ambition because they are experienced and knew they can't sell Wike in the SW not to talk of the North

Yes BVAS will help in the South and it will still help in the North......

But what we need is restructuring the nation, we can't continue this way.

And lastly, what had changed over the last 3years? Was Obi not Atiku's boy that decided to run away from pdp when he knew Wike will be contesting? I like Obi but he still need to learn the game. Was he not the one that specifically promised not to leave apga grin.... Why will you swear staking your family ?

It is unfortunate, Femi Kuti can never reason like our late icon, Fela Kuti. Femi Kuti does not understand what it means to be 'OBIdient'. His thinking is only limited to the peripheral.

Same way buhari was a saint in their eyes in 2015.

That mf was the governor of Anambra and that place was still a shit hole when he left.
Wonder what would happen if he becomes president.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want tinubu to become president too.

Yeah, maybe peter obi knows about running a country's economy and can stop state sanctioned inflation.

He's still a politician and politicians can't be trusted.

The reason people are campaigning for obi is because he is the lesser evil and we don't have a choice.

It doesn't mean that he would stop corruption or army would stop killing innocent folks or police would stop collecting bribe or nscds ogas would stop bunkering.
Nigeria would always be a zoo. The best thing we can have is a good economy. That's what people are seeing in peter obi.

Right. Na why all of Una dey swallow Obi's lamba without question; as long as Peter Obi said it, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, it automatically becomes truth. A typical Zombie would defend the indefensible to please his master. 'Zombie own na one way, na joro jara joro'. cool

I have no time for brainwashed BATstards who are paid 30k to promote a brain dead criminal suffering from Parkinson disease.

Millions of Nigerian youths from North to South, East to West are the ones spending their own money, time and resources to campaign for Obi because unlike you, they want Nigeria to become better for themselves and future generations.

Everyone is not like you, and your types will be shamed by the masses in the next election!

Is there any person that would contest for presidency or any elected office that would not be a politician? The moment you are registered with a political party and indicate an interest to vie for any office, you are a politician. The aim is the go for one who has decent principles, is fit, intellectually sound and ready to serve with every effort towards redirecting the trajectory of the country positively. Not those that believe that they are masters every other person must bow down to because of tribe or age.
