We will know when the time comes, if it has been truly hijacked like you said.

That's the way of Nigeria.

Tinubu movement was hijacked by tribalism especially in the wake of his losing Lagos. Ditto the Atiku movement.

Tinubu won because the atiku movement was hamstrung by Muslim votes not being enough and because of the division between him and obi.

Every Nigerian politicians plays tribal games.

That's why I can't vote for any of the big parties

The obidient movement is the vilest political group I have ever seen. The group was hijacked by IPOB and bigots from the South East to project Igbo agenda. And because Peter Obi himself is both an ethnic and religious bigot, he feels satisfied by their actions.

You are pisting this when Ojukwu is demanding MKO should be killed because he won the freest election in the histiry of Nigeria till 2015.

So also was the tinubu movement, especially in the run up to the governor elections in Lagos.

You think you are talking to only igbos like the rest of us no get common sense.

Ekpeitut:
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.

Obidients are a faceless group of individuals who want a better country. They believe Peter Obi can deliver a dream country to them.

Peter Obi himself don't know the obidients in person.

Simply call them Obingo because nothing obidient about their character. They attack anyone not in same view with them

When you lie to yourselves you expect Nigerians to believe your lies too ba ?!

Ekpeitut:
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.

The more you igbos trubalistic intentions are exposed the more you fail to take responsiblity.

Who do you refer as Ronu n e bi pawa ? Are those not trubakistic Tinubu suppirters. When BAT tribal supporters are called out no sensible one of them come out to defend their foolishness the Igbos like you come out defensing the foolishness n senselessness of obidient ipob across all platform.

Blame yourselves not others, take responsibikities for your foolish action, no one will take them for you.



AustineE1:
Dr Ope Banwo,your continuous mentioning of 'hate filled and tribalistic obidients',is some how making you guilty of the same crime you accused them of.You seem to be fanning the embers of tribalism by constantly laying your emphasis on tribe.
Accepted there are obidients whom are tribalist but your argument may seem to suggest that Batist(supporters of Tinubu) are any different,it is a known fact that the fan base of Tinubu and its sole agenda is built on tribal hate and worst forms of nepotism.
I'm surprised,that few of you the enlightened ones,do not care to call out the group for it's obvious agenda of trying to divide Nigeria on the line of tribe.Even his appointed officials openly carryout this tribal agenda.Which is obvious to every Nigerian.
Re: The Hijack Of The Obidient Movement By A Few Tribal Hate Mongers - Dr Ope Banwo by jaxxy(m):
I have to say sadly I agree with ope banwo. Obidients while a great Movement with very good gbas gbos reactions which is very necessary for our corrupt politcal space however lack tact and emotional or political intelligence on dealing with themselves when disagreements arise they go super toxic and even ethnically offensive.

it is no doubt majority of Obidents are igbos followed by delta/Benin, Middle belts, yorubas and Hausa/fulani but it is not by any means shape or form an igbo movement. it is for GOOD GOVERNANCE and beyond Peter Obi... I hope and I believe the assumed Leadership of the Obident movement sensitize the members and general Public on the purpose of the Obidents movement so everyone is on same page and aligned and not just assuming.

If Obidents do not show tact in disagreements amongst themselves they will not be united enough to work together or attract others to their fold which is important.

Peter as the 1st benefactor and inspiration for the Obidents must show more leadership. He's abit lacking in strategic leadership skills and seems more concerned in an opportunistic possibilty or self ambition.

This is very important to build anything of value and continum.

It will be an achievement for PO if he could get 50% of what he gor in the last election.
Re: The Hijack Of The Obidient Movement By A Few Tribal Hate Mongers - Dr Ope Banwo by UpaIweka: 6:38am On Jun 15, 2025
For your mind you self think yourself an obidient 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Those that made the group thick are talking a nonentity of no repute whatsoever de shook mouth.


Ekpeitut:
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.

Since you say there is no difference between Obidients and Batists, why should I then leave my brother and vote your brother?

Or, you think we've forgotten how Peter Obi got votes in Yorubaland while you have all your votes to your brother.

Let's all be tribalistic and see who will lose. 2027, you will see shege.

Dr Ope Banwo led the Naija Lives Matter structure within the Obidients Movement. He developed an app for the movement. However he has had a few clashes with Obidients.

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.

His second clash occurred after the elections when he tweeted that the elections were over and he was going to reconcile with his friends that he argued with during the campaigns (he reconciled with Segalink). He said that everybody should move on since elections were over. Obidients attacked him for this message.


This present clash occurred because he has been away for Twitter for a while and he came back to see that Obidients were attacking Akin Olaoye (Akin Tollgate) and accusing him of being a mole. He condemned the attacks, but he was also attacked by Obidients.

Propaganda. I pity the youths that will vote in their enemy.
How have they fared in the previous years? Majority of these people are doing well financially, so nothing concern them with the struggles of the average man.

Yes — I know the clowns dragging Akin don’t represent the Igbo people. But unfortunately, a disturbing number of loud-mouthed Igbo Twitter boys and girls have NOT condemned this filth — and that silence is shameful. Absolutely shameful.


This is what he is yet to understand about these obidient lunatics.

They never will condemn any bad or evil being perpetuated by one of their own.

Even here on NL, they will attack you if you respond in kind to one of their feral ipob but will never condemn the ipob lout who was on rampage castigating and insulting others over their tribe , religion and politics.
Re: The Hijack Of The Obidient Movement By A Few Tribal Hate Mongers - Dr Ope Banwo by TemmyT002(m): 7:02am On Jun 15, 2025
Hmm.
What if those leading the attacks are actually working for APC underground?
Because this Obidients stuff is becoming an Igbo-centric movement. I am not Igbo, even though I look like one.
I am a 'concrete' Yoruba man but I support and still support Peter Obi because I believe he is the best man to lead Nigeria.
But I no longer support the Obidients. They should gerrout. Most of them are tribalists.
Those leading the attacks should be investigated.

YES HE DOES!!!! but lacking in some areas. Nobody is perfect.

Buhari also lacks
Obasanjo doesn't lack as much but has other leadership issues with practice and/or ethics. Same with tinubu.

But there are critical leadership skills u must not lack no matter what to be an effective leader.
Re: The Hijack Of The Obidient Movement By A Few Tribal Hate Mongers - Dr Ope Banwo by SuperEagles: 7:12am On Jun 15, 2025

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

At all at all, they should face whatever comes to them. Their foolishness didn't let them know that as a yorubaman in 2023 being politically correct means voting your own , they allowed people that voted their brother deceive them not to vote their own brother. Phoolz

Na so we all thought every opposition political party is for good governance until we changed from PDP to APC only to realize there's no difference between 6 and half a dozen.

Anybody that has lived through the day of PDP and now lives in the days of APC will know that LP, OBIDIENTS ETC are just opportunists looking for ways to get to the cookie jar, not that they love is more than the present occupiers
