Yet you 2 can not create a thread on that.

Instead you are labouring in vain to deflect criticsm from obidient (Igbo) senseless tirade on SM against obidient from eveey other tribe.
It's laughable how any call for accountability and competence is instantly reduced to tribalism by people like you. Your predictable deflection says more about your bias than any point you're trying to make.

What exactly has blind tribal loyalty delivered for Nigeria? Corruption? Insecurity? Collapsing infrastructure? Surely you're not immune to the same disastrous governance the rest of us are enduring.

The Obidient movement was never about a political party or tribe — it's about Nigerians who are simply tired of recycled failures. People are hungry for real change, not stale rhetoric. You don't have to like it, but you can’t ignore it. Let that sink in.

The egg is on the faces of Ope Banwo and non ibo Obidients. The Obidient movement was always a tribal movement. You were gaslit!

You think you are talking to your fellow Igbos.
Don't worry, when the time comes, you will see.
Go and rest you racist and tribal bigot. For your shallow mind, you think Obidients is all about Igbos, when reality sets in you go lament.

Na South Eastern Obidients remain for Labour party.

Others are being purged as expected.
Those naive non Ibos in the Obidient movement should thank their God that Obi did not win or else they would have gotten the ruddest shock in their lives


Every revolution movement has at its core a tribal/racial agenda and whenever the revolution succeeds , the tribal /racial agenda is exposed.

Every gimmick and dirty tactics being deployed by the obidient isn't new but goes back to the Russian Bolshevik movement who after seizing power did not waste time rollibg out their ethnic agenda by ensuring all powers are consolidated in their grasp while they went about purging the movement and new communist government of others not of their ethnic stock.

Its also worth noting that every communist movement like our Obidient Marxists, has a racial/ethnic supremascist agenda fueling it. This is why Hitler made that now plagiarized statement that "not all Chews are Communists but all communists are Chews".

Fulani supremascist agenda was what motivated all Fulanis to support Uthman Dan Fodio. Naive Hausas deceived by false rreligious and societal reforms joined the Fulani jihad to wage war on their kings. After the jihad, all powers went to the Fulani and the Hausas are now slaves and subjects of the Fulani invaders.

Same thing happened in Russia with the chews seizing power.

The Zikist Marxist movement that emerged prior to independence had an ethnic supremascist agenda to enthrone ibos into all positions of power post independence. That movement inspired supremacists like Achebe , Ifeamjuna, Ojukwu , Nzeagwu and co. You can't talk of the Jan 15 Ibo coup without referencing the Zikist movement. Ifeanjuna who instigated other ibo officers to join his mutiny was a Zikiist during his days in Ibadan College . Ifeanjuna joined the army specifically to carry out a coup in the future just as Ojukwu who was a card carrying member of the British Communist party (Oxford campus branch ) initially joined the army as a lowly recruit to instigate future communist uprising and mutiny from within.

The Zikist were inspired by false ethnic chauvanism and pride. The Zikist movement by and large led to the avoidable and senseless civil war. The civil war and perpetual ibo victim hood , inspired Biafraism which has Zionist ideology embedded solidly within it. Biafraism aka Zio Marxism as professed by IPOB is at the core of Obidient movement. That is why Obi thinks himself as the new Zik and the obidient are exactly like the pre independence Zikist movement. Just as Zikism that once promoted a Marxist one Nigeria but later morphed to a Zionists nationalist movement , so also are the obidient (present day zikists) one and the same with ipob Biafraists.

They can easily switch to either Zikism (Obidient) or Biafraism (IPOB) because what matters to them only is to enthrone an ethnic agenda and if they can't get it through Zikism aka Obidient movement , they switch to Biafraism aka IPOB mode.

Only a naive person will be blind to their antics

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.

You don’t need to call the Obidient movement hateful when it keeps screaming it from every rooftop.
The anger of youths, when channeled constructively, is indeed powerful. But the Obidient movement confused raw rage with strategic reform. What started as a hopeful wave of youth-driven change quickly turned into an online mob—loud, tribal, intolerant, and allergic to dissent.

Instead of building alliances and institutions, the movement relied on insults, cancel culture, and emotional blackmail. You couldn’t criticize Peter Obi without being called a sellout, a tribalist, or worse. That’s not democracy—that’s digital tyranny.

The Obidient movement was misguided because it mistook social media virality for electoral structure. It ignored the real Nigeria—rural voters, political coalitions, and national balance.

Now, it’s unraveling. The hype is fading. The bullying no longer works. And Nigerians, especially the youths, are asking real questions: What exactly did Obi build after 2023?

You can't scream your way into power. Nigeria needs leadership, not loud voices. And those who built their political capital on tribal outrage are watching it crash—under the weight of its own intolerance.

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
Obi will only do well in the south east in 2027, and he wont be allowed to rig the way he did in 2023 in the south east

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.

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.
This is a typical Obidient reply. They beat around the bush to avoid accountability and devoid themselves of any guilt lol 😂

Your critique, while laced with eloquence, reeks of selective amnesia and intellectual dishonesty. It’s easy to reduce a mass movement to hashtags and hyperbole when you're comfortably detached from the realities that birthed it.

Let’s be clear: the Obidient movement was not a digital tantrum—it was a visceral response to decades of state failure, elite impunity, and generational betrayal. If the anger felt raw, it’s because the wounds are real. Dismissing that energy as “mob behavior” conveniently sidesteps the fact that traditional political structures—those you now romanticize—have thrived on silence, suppression, and rigged legitimacy.

You accuse the movement of intolerance. But perhaps what you really mean is that it refused to defer to the old guard’s monopoly on failure. The so-called “digital tyranny” you lament was simply people rejecting gaslighting and euphemisms in favor of blunt truth. And yes, that truth was uncomfortable—for those who built careers defending a broken status quo.

You ask what Peter Obi built after 2023. A fair question. But maybe a better one is: What did decades of your “national balance” and political coalitions deliver—beyond recycled incompetence, nepotism, impunity, looted budgets, and patronage dressed as governance?

There is no Yoruba man who supported Igbos with the Biafran mentality and didn't come back crying. None.

Fajuyi laid down his life for his Igbo guest, Igbos said who asked him to.

Banjo led the ONLY Biafran offensive during the war. He was executed by Biafrans while Ojukwu was allowed to flee.

Soyinka was jailed for supporting Biafra while Achebe was busy nacking college girls in America. Achebe's kinsmen are insulting Soyinka today.

Seun supported Gbadebo and Obi last election. Till today, Obidients are desperately trying to bring him down.

Any Yoruba that supports Obi and Obidients at this point, you are basically suicidal.
WickedFact, if wickedness is your calling,wickedness you will meet....

Now listen; While Soyinka was in Jail,Achebe was at the heat of the war front in BiafraLand...not "knacking" College girls in the U.S; that's Wicked of you to say.

Soyinka and Obidients...not Igbos...disagrees politically....as even I and my biological father often do....how does it amount to "Ingratitude" from "Igbos"

Why do you guys like IGBOnizing normal Democratic or socio-political atmosphere?

Victor Banjo was given Command of the most important and most successful Battalion in Biafra.After Overrunning and capturing swathes of Federal territories,as he was about to Capture the Capital(Lagos) and capture Gowon and end the War,he choose to Switch Loyalties!! He betrayed his Igbo friends so badly.E good? Are you like that? What usually causes these amongst some of you?

Now People like Dr.Banwo and a few Yoruba Obidients are Switching Loyalties to Support APC...disagreeing Politically with Obi's supporters...which is normal... Why turn the issue to a tribal war between Igbos and Yorubas?

The core of the Obidients are in Plateau,Kaduna,Bauchi,Gombe,Taraba,Borno,Adamawa,Nassarawa,Benue and Edo...Not even in the Igbo states(Who're always afraid to come out and Vote due to IPOB)

But you choose to twist facts and turn them to wickedness!!

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
U cannot use apc and pdp scenarios to generalise every opposition or u will cancel out everybody. u have to learn from the mistakes in judgement and apply that to critically access others going forward based on right markers not blanket generalisation which doesn't help anyone.


Also supporters are different from members or leaders. Don't judge a party's principle on its supporters base cos anybody can support u. judge the leadership.

Imagine Soyinka (GCON) was jailed for Biafra...whereas Achebe was no where to be found during those days.

Achebe, who cannot untie Soyinka's shoes is today being godified by the i.pob.

The Obedient movement wasn't hijacked by anyone, it was founded on ethnic and religious bigotry.
"Founded on it" is stretching it.

I'm no fan of Banwo or Segalink or Omokri. I supported Obi for the presidency because I believed he'd make a marginally better president than Tinubu or Atiku.

The above disclosures having been made, hate-filled ethnic champions have always been the dominant voice in the Obidient movement. I don't know if the ethnic entrepreneurs are the majority or minority in the movement, but they're certainly the most outspoken - hence they shape public perception of the group.

It's really hard to understand the intentions of most members in that Obidient group. The group most times look like a setup to push out a very dangerous narratives against the Yorubas while hiding under the hate for Tinubu and anger for Nigerian politicians. When a Yoruba person or politician do something, the reaction is always different compared to others e.g Wole Soyinka , Tunde Onakoya, Baba Adeboye etc

In any ways, a group that demonize one politician but idolize another obvious thief is not to be taken seriously by any sane human being.
Oga broaden your horizon...grow your mind...

The main Leaders of the OBIdient movement have always been Yorubas and Edos and Middle-beltans and now Hausa/fulanis; The major decision makers; Obasanjo,Akin Osuntokun,Pa Adebayo,Afenifere,That lawyer Activist imprisoned by Afe Babalola,Aisha Yussuf,Pastor Ituah Ighodalo,Saad Abubakar(Sultan of Sokoto),that former SGF from Adamawa,T.Y Danjuma and etc....

No single Igbo leaders are OBIdients; They are all Tinubu supporters..

All Obidients know these leadership and support structures.So they can't be foolish to hate Yorubas as your simple mind thinks...

OBIdients just want people to be principled in bringing a possitive change to Nigeria.Simple

Right on, bro. Let them know—2027 will not be a replay of 2023. The sympathy wave has crashed. The illusion has faded. Nigerians, especially the youths, are wiser now. The next election won't be won on vibes, hashtags, or emotional blackmail. It’ll be about structure, substance, and truth. 2027 will be a reckoning, not a revival tour. So they better brace themselves—because the next social media war won’t be fought with hype, but with receipts. No more free passes. No more victimhood. This time, every lie will be called out, and every fraud will be exposed. Let the games begin.
