This goes to show how unpatriotic some Nigerians can be.[/b] U'll never find an Indian or Chinese smearing the image of their country.[b] I wish the bastard well
I continue to say the U.K is not the best of places to study and settle down anymore.
Nigerians should take their hard earned wealth and go to other countries like Canada, Australia, Sweden there you will find peace of mind and respect.
Exactly!
Nigerians are just...
This reminds me of the first time I travelled to Philippines... My friend was busy telling me how nice the country is n so on... She didn't even mention the fact that some part are not safe, she only said I'd not move around at night.

No, you were right the first time, he's an Obidient Yoruba Muslim man.
He may not really be an a**le as a person, but his brazen unapologetic ignorance is a trademark of "obidience."

I would have expected more of a critical response and an incontrovertible proof from a supposed lover of classic literature/epic historical movies, but alas, you're a Nigerian man.

First, I can't remember telling anyone that I love classical literature/epic historical movies. (This doesn't mean denial or acquiescence by the way)

Second, critical responses as you call it are often a waste of time on Nairaland, as the person you're addressing is often set in his (or her) ways and nothing you say can actually have any effect.

I have read several online comments from Nigerians pouring out blame and insult on EMDEE over his quite "expository and provocating comments which he made about migrating Nigerians in his recent interview with the BBC.

Although I do not completely share same sentiments as many on this issue, I however agree that EMDEE really goofed big time and deserves some attacks he is getting.
However, let's not be carried away by our anger, but let us also endevour to learn a thing or 2 from this particular blunder. So that we will not find ourselves in the kind of mess Tiamiyu is in presently.
For I believe every error in life is a lesson
for the wise.

1.) Be careful with the media. The media has so much power. It can make you or break you. I am sure Tiamiyu must have been very excited at the idea of being invited by the BBC for the interview. Not knowing it will create so much issue for him later on. Yes, it is an admirable and wonderful opportunity to be called to speak by a powerful platform such as the BBC, but you have to understand and weigh the implications. It is not just about you always.

It is not every engagement you must say YES to. It is not every post you must comment on. It is not every topic you must raise online. Or every thing that must be said online. We have to be very careful with the media.

For a fact, many of us have done much worse than Tiamiyu in de-marketing this nation, and in exposing our dirty linen in public, but we feel Tiamiyu has done worse because his was on BBC. Lol.
Each time you go online and post that Nigeria is a slum or a zoo, you fail to realise that others around the world see what you post. They visualize you based on what you call yourselves.
Your words are powerful. Once let out they either Make or break. Be careful.
You said all. Kudo. I am with you bro.

Would he have spoken the truth if the question was about his own atrocity or misdeeds ?.....when you don't know much but think you are Albert Einstein that is how you will land yourself in trouble.

If UK Was so sure Nigerians does not need the education why were they still asking questions, that was how a French diplomat asked a Nigerian the meaning of japa but that one was smart to confuse her...May God help Tiamiyu and his mouth

Absolutely.

Just keep spreading ignorance about just because.

Malign a group of people, slander some, post incorrect comments when you have no reason to do to. When others do that as well, I wonder what it'll all collectively come to.


You must think you know how to use words that don't mean nothing to distract me. 🀣

I have had shares (and more views) on that my response to you, lmao.

When I engage with people online, only a part of it has to do with whom I am quoting.

I always feel bound to correct any misconceptions in the public when I can. Even if it's one observer who gets to see it and they adjust their perspective, I am good.

As it stands now, you have absolutely no basis (or proof or screenshot or tweets or anything) to tag that dude an Obidient.

It was a bold-faced lie, a maligning, a character misrepresentation of a group of people on your part.

I don't care if you agree with me or not, but it remains the truth.

Yes, the same way you didn't tell anyone anything was the same way I didn't state anything categorically.

I don't spread ignorance, that's the stock in trade of obidients. Everything I say is either unquestionable fact or my opinion. Until there's a law that prevents me from having my own opinion right or wrong, I owe no one no apologies.


You must think you know how to use words that don't mean nothing to distract me. 🀣

Definitely not what I intended, if that's the effect my words have on you. I like to use words that tend to best capture my thought processes at every point in time


I have had shares (and more views) on that my response to you, lmao.
Lol. People share or like your comments when they agree with your points. Sometimes just because they find it amusing. As per views, that may not be avoidable. While I'm sure that may be a good boost for your self confidence and general mental well-being, it usually has no effect on me ( you can check my signature for confirmation, if you feel like)

A common ground, at last. I didn't even take note of your moniker until this latest reply


I always feel bound to correct any misconceptions in the public when I can. Even if it's one observer who gets to see it and they adjust their perspective, I am good.
Hats off to you on that. It's a noble endeavour I must say. That may make you a better person than I (no sarcasms intended) because I don't really care about things like that.

If you're talking about Emdee, I can assure you he's 100% obidient. I've seen his various posts on Twitter condemning PDP and all things even remotely related to Tinubu, and posts outrightly supporting LP and Obi. I could get you screenshots, but to what end?


I don't care if you agree with me or not, but it remains the truth.
The very reason for my initial rhetorical question, to what end?

You're not only calling someone out for their own lack of objectivity, but you posted a screenshot of their own comment to SHOW it.

Just decided to do your work for you for the fun of it.

An average Obidient NEVER hide his/her support for Peter Obi dfkm. grin

You cannot support Peter Obi and be able to keep still. You will want to show you belong to our "cult."

The only generally silent followers of Obi would be public figures and key people in other political parties. Tiamiyu, from all indication, doesn't have anything to hide/lose by supporting Obi. There is NOWHERE in his Twitter history that he campaigned for Obi. Go search it. I found only two posts in which he mentioned Peter Obi's name (one of them below).

Now first screenshot is your proof that he's an Obidient? Anybody who criticises Tinubu or Nigeria is automatically supporting Obi? What kind of reasoning is that, lmaooo? cheesy

For good measure, I found his posts criticising Atiku too, but you know an interesting thing I also found?

He has a number of posts gushing about Sowore. In 2019, he was a STEW (Sowole Today Everywhere) chanter. I could not find any from recent years, but I saw one from 2022 where he more or less showed his admiration for Sowore. Nothing more. And absolutely zilch on Peter Obi.

So where did you see anything he did for Obi 'outrightly' again?

I know so many people who didn't fuk with any other presidential candidates as well.

I know so many people who criticised Tinubu but never supported Obi still.

Entertain yourself below.

Lol.
We seem to agree on a lot of things, albeit for different reasons.
The jokes are beginning to write themselves indeed.
The key here is context, mon soeur, context. She blatantly denied what she did and I pointed it out to her with proof.
In your case I didn't see any need for that.

I am still waiting for you to backup your claim with a proof or we admit that you believed a lie or an half-baked narration and ran with it, and we move on.

This is why I love the game of chess, war and life in general: sometimes when you're patient enough, your opponents (permit me to use that word, for lack of a more appropriate one) would reveal their hand.
So I guess you were trying to pressure me to reveal screenshots because you already prepared a whole speech in wait. grin Thus proving my point to a great extent that trying to convince some people is not really necessary (To what end?)
But let me even indulge you a little bit longer: from your own 'research' now you found out he criticized Tinubu severally, he criticized Atiku as well, even the also-ran Sowore, but was quiet about Obi. But he's not an Obidient? He went as far as criticizing Sanwo-olu, trying to "prove to him who owns Lagos ", but he's not Obidient?
Okay.
Continue.

PS Jokes and quarrels aside, I must commend you for remaining civil throughout this conversation. You may just be one of the extremely few obidients I find interesting in a good way

God, what a load of bollocks is this.

Are you kidding me?

To be very honest, I am using the utmost restraint here to keep at insulting you.

Contrary to that your 'PS', you on the other hand are so bland and unstimulating this is becoming such a bore.

You're just running and running around in circles, deluding yourself with some cloak of intelligence and a "people-reader". You're not shit.

🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

Oh, thank God my very first response to you was a speech. Thank God. Go back to it. And through my posts too if you wish. I didn't "prepare" anything. I didn't have any hand hidden to be revealed, just wanted to show your lazy dishonesty for what it was.

YOU made a claim. YOU refused to defend it. And me that was countering you went to even see IF I can confirm what you're saying just to be absolutely sure I wasn't in the wrong and this is what you're saying.

Alaye, it has nothing to do with you.

If I need statistics and researches and theses to defend my posts, I do it. So much on my main.

Even before my boyfriend can respond to one of my text, I have sent 40 to him, so get off whatever high house you're trying to climb.

It doesn't take me nothing before cooking up paragraphs (the way the time-frame of this post will show).


Now for all of your intelligence, you should have been able to figure out the screenshots I posted evidently show that the man is a Sowore supporter. There is no where in his tweet history where he has ever criticised him.

How can he be an Obidient, and not FOR ONCE post anything related to his affinity for Obi or his supporters? If this were a court case, is all you've been writing what you're going to put up as a defense?

You obviously know how to bring up screenshots to defend yourself, but suddenly it doesn't matter in this context.

When you posted that comment to Angelf.rost, were you hoping to change his mind? πŸ˜„

But you cannot post a simple, single picture to me, yet you're still arguing with me o, because it's online and nothing ever changes. I am the one doing this for the sake of others who may be coming across this interaction, what are you doing it for? Your ego? 😞

So silence on something means an agreement? There are so many things going on in the world today that you've never spoken on, does that mean you support those things? Can you hear yourself?

He even used the hastag #NigeriaDecides. If you were a great sociopolitical observer, you'll realise that it's mostly neutral commentators who use that hastag. He didn't even use #TakeBackNaija in THE LEAST to show he was biased towards Obi's movement. His past political posts that I've seen so far were always tagged with #RevolutionNow.

LMAOOOO. Pray tell, does Tinubu and his cronies "own" Lagos? Yeah, who owns Lagos? Is it not the citizens? Does everyone, legally, not have as much right to lay claim to the state?

Alaye, you nor get talk, jare. You don't have nada. Nada to believe anything.

The fact that he is silent on Obi is more of an indication of his non-support than otherwise. There are other candidates I'm sure he did not speak about too. Why didn't you say he's a supporter of those ones?

Again sef, why is it easier for you to be doing this than for you to simply show where he outrightly supported LP?

Don't latch onto my claim to slip out of this.

If you say he outrightly supported Obi in some tweets, then you should not use the fact that I said he was silent about Obi to prove what you said. His lack of criticism of Obi to mean his support ain't your point. Your words are that you saw where he outrightly supported Obi and LP. So prove that.

Abi you've been finding you've not seen? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Eyaaaaaaa.

I can understand.

PS: I even attended to something for a few minutes before sending this "long piece". And sure, it was "pre-planned".
