Following the explosive interview in which Professor Wole Soyinka called LP/Obi and its supporters "Gbaju e", I deem it necessary to explain the meaning of this phrase to the non-Yoruba speakers who might not know the meaning, its weight, and imports of it for Obi and his supporters.

"Gbaju e" is used in Yoruba language to describe fraudsters. The use of the phrase became popular during the raise of "419" and scammers in the country. When we call a person "Gbaju e", nobody wants to have anything to do with you. It is an indelible social stigma that nobody wants.

Calling Obi/LP "Gbaju e", therefore, is a serious issue as it robs Obi/LP of credibility now and in future. It puts a toga of dishonesty on the person of Obi and those supporting him. "Gbaju e" are those who don't care how they get anything including hoodwinking others. They just want to get it... This is what fraudsters, 419, scammers, etc, do. For a presidential candidate to be tagged a "Gbaju e" (i.e. a fraudster), it speaks volume.

And this label is coming from Professor Wole Soyinka. I, therefore, don't know how this won't stick, and how Obi wants to remove this indelible negative mark from his forehead.

OP, thank you for explaining the "Gbaju e" from your own point of of view

Let me ask you and please be truthful so that you don't become a "Gbaju e"

If you place Tinubu and Peter Obi side by side, looking at their origin, ancestry, educational qualifications and background and their activities while in government, whom amongst them will you describe as "Gbaju e"

Maize247:

Only a Gbajue will come third in an election and expect to be declared winner...

Only Gbajues will be shameless enough to want to impose a Gbajue on Nigerians through cyber bullying and intimidation.

OBIDIENTS = GBAJUES
