What is it about this man that government is scared of?

SmartEnergyng:
Typical arrant nonsense from peter obi....
Peter Obi’s penchant for swooping in on national tragedies to score cheap political points is as shameless as it is despicable. Time and again, he has shown a disturbing pattern—surfacing only when blood has been spilled, not to offer real solutions or long-term engagement, but to issue teary statements, chase headlines, and posture for the cameras. His response to the Benue crisis follows this tired script: empty outrage, performative empathy, and not a shred of genuine effort to understand or address the complex roots of the conflict. This isn’t leadership—it’s opportunism draped in pious soundbites. Nigeria deserves better than a man who treats national grief as a campaign strategy.

omo I just tire for una.....who's voice has bin condemning d attacks in almost all part of Nigeria if not Obi.....make una free d man abeg

IkeOnyia:
Peter Obi is too stingy. If he will go there to donate 500 million naira to the affected victims, I am sure that the governor will welcome him with arms wide open. But he will instead go there to donate 10 million and use the rest of the time to do photo op with the grieving victims and make political speeches. That is why Father Mbaka rebuked and cursed him for that his low-life mentality.

Ha ve you seen 10 million of your own before

ZACHIE:
In what capacity would you have been stopped, Peter?
You are just one of several ex-presidential aspirants and no more?

You don't even have a known party affiliation right now! No. Stop overreaching yourself. No one will stop you from gaining popularity from other people's misfortune, as usual.

So na professional mourner, not so? Only in his case, he pays to do the weeping and moaning.... Hmmmn...

gidgiddy:
Every Nigerian has the right to put their mouth in anything that concerns Nigeria

then y is obi not concerned about what happens in his own region?

Y is he running to Benue when same happened in Enugu?

Y is obi not trying to quench d fire in his home before becoming d saviour in another man's land?

givedemwotowoto:
Thousands of your kinsmen are calling you people out everyday on social media, they can’t stand the president, they can’t stand tribal bigots, they’re no longer afraid to put their names and faces out there. All this propaganda you do on nairaland is noise, they’re not buying it. Rest

y is obi more concerned about happenings in Benue more than that of Enugu?

Exgee:
Go and ask your president, cos the last time I checked, OBI is neither the president nor governor of any state. He has no political post either. He's just an ordinary Nigerian like you and myself.
What stops you from doing same within your neighborhood in your own little way?
Everyday, OBI OBI. Una no dey tire. Some of u deserve what you're going through from these wicked Nigerian Politicians

if obi is an ordinary citizen, y is he putting his mouth into everything?

As if we aren't wise, the agulu packaged fraud only talks about what happens in other regions, he will never say a word about what happens in his region.

We sight hypocrite when we see one

He is not a chef mourner for fun he deserves his title Obi is a professional mourner, allow him to tour all the mourning sites in Nigeria

Factcheck0001:
obi is not needed there


People were just killed by ipob in Enugu, y obi no visit Enugu?

He doesn't visit when it happens in igboland

He only cares about non igbos so much so that the violence in igboland can be overlooked.... But will quickly put on his mourning clothes the moment disaster happens outside igboland as if he were waiting for it to happen.
That's why he was christened "agbotikuyo" one who delights at hearing news of death

i disagree with obi on this . a leader must have the courage and willing to lay down his life for his flock or what he belief is a good and just cause. is there a 24 hour curfew in benue state? how can the governor threaten you and you chicken out.

With the way most people are angry on this thread, one would think Obi is the president while the president himself is as useless as a used diaper.

Yes Obi is the president.

He is online president, the Ezemourner 1 of Obodo Nigeria

If he talked about Enugu, you people will say he only cares about his Region. If he talks about Benue, you people will say he doesn't care about his Region

Meanwhile, herdsmen are killing people in every Region but you guys care more about what Obi comes out of Obi's mouth than the fact that your government cannot stop the herdsmen

Peter Obi is a master of moral posturing—loud on virtue, but vague on verifiable substance. His politics is less about solutions and more about sentiments dressed as strategy.

You don’t get to fool the people twice. The illusion is over. The audit has just begun.

Tribalism is one of our main issues in Nigeria how many enugu state politicians visited enugu, that's how BAT wants to go to benue,someone's saying also come to Niger... All the states in Nigeria are one irrespective of tribes.

Benue governor refused obi from coming to Benue before maybe that's why he's asking, besides this killing is maybe even more than the plane crash they're counting the bodies they saw what about the ones they haven't found.

ZombieDredd:
you are barking up the wrong tree.........................................

There’s a reason silence is golden—especially when your words do more harm than good.
Every time Peter Obi opens his mouth, he chips away at the carefully packaged image his supporters worked so hard to build.
Obi’s political appeal thrives on curated outrage, not grounded reform. His message is often clean, but conspicuously empty.

oga let obi take care of his home first


Let him take care of Enugu first


It's like charity doesn't begin at home with u people


Your house will b burning n u will b chasing rat in another man's house

givedemwotowoto:
Cho Cho Cho. Nigeria definitely needs a compassionate leader like Peter Obi over a man who will “make out time out of his busy schedule and go visit Benue people” over a week after the incident happened, after the pope called out the incident before the country’s president

Did you just call peter obi a compassionate leader? You must be joking!
Obi is the human equivalent of a press release—polished, strategic, and always careful to say just enough without being pinned down. His genius lies not in leadership, but in impression management.

gidgiddy:
Some of you that don't won't Obi to be President are acting as if Obi is the President

Peter Obi Is His Own Undoing—Every Word Strips Away the Illusion.
Every word he utters is calibrated for applause, not action. Obi doesn’t lead conversations—he echoes them.
He is an epitome of what i will call the Aba trader syndrome.

guy don't send mail to me


Tell me anything u want to tell me here

Are you going to Benue under what capacity?

Please sir, don't visit there if Tinubu has gone there. This is because the APC is so satanically programmed to believe that a humanitarian act is a devilish act. They won't do it and won't allow kindhearted humanity to do.

mrvitalis:
APC did worse
Tinubu said worse I'm sure even you said worse

So because APC did it, Obi should do it too?
So why are u people condemning APC in the first place and praising Obi since they are thesame

Stop being rude and arrogant pls. There's absolutely nothing u can do for me that I cannot do for myself. Stop it!
Were u expecting me to drop it here so they will ban me?
Oga, learn to respect people
