That Peter Obi Criticised President Tinubu For Not Wearing Black Mourning Clothes To Benue Shows He Knows Nothing About Islam

Something is seriously wrong with this social media content creator called Peter Obi! Is the man okay at all? People died in Benue, and both the Federal and State Governments are trying to find solutions, and this Agbotikuyo is complaining about the type of clothes the President wore to Benue? Really?

Imagine him saying "The President arrived not in mourning cloth but in celebratory agbada attire, like it was an occasion for joy."

Is Peter Obi aware that President Tinubu is a Muslim and that in Islam, it is not Sunnah to wear black when anyone dies?

That is why I and others have repeatedly said Peter Obi lacks the broad-mindedness to be Nigeria's President. The fellow is too selfish to think beyond his narrow political, cultural, and religious beliefs.

He wants everyone in Nigeria to conform to his own low cultural values, irrespective of their own religious background.

That was why, in 2022, his campaign donated so-called prayer mats to mosques with his images on them.

Mr. Obi does not attempt to understand Islam, even when Islam is the dominant religion in Northern Nigeria and parts of the Southwest.

And even in Christianity, there is no requirement to wear black to funerals. There is no such doctrine or culture in Scripture.

The wearing of Black is purely a European cultural practice that has been blindly adopted by people whose cultures are not well defined to the extent that they need another culture to plug gaps in their own ways of life.

For Peter Obi's education, it is haram in Islam to wear black to events such as burials, funerals, and memorials for the dead. The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalaam) is that the dead are to be buried in white clothes.

A hadith of the prophet (SAW) and narrated by Ibn Abbas states, "Wear white clothes, for they are the best of your clothes, and shroud your dead in them."

It is sad that Mr. Obi is so wrapped up in his narrow self-interest that he makes zero attempt to understand other cultures that have existed in the geographical location now known as Nigeria for a thousand years.

Mr. Obi's insensitivity to Nigeria’s cultural diversity, along with his tribalistic focus on only his Igbo kith and kin, makes him unsuited for the highest office in the land.

My counsel to Peter Obi is this: If you like wearing Black mourning clothes everywhere, due to your love for bad news and negativity, do not expect others to be like you.

You are a Roman Catholic, which is a minority faith in Nigeria. While Nigeria has freedom of religion, if you, Peter Obi, expect the rest of us to behave like you and observe your cultural and religious practices, then you had better focus on becoming the Governor of Anambra, where you had previously spent two terms of eight years causing religious division between Catholics and Anglicans.

Finally, I urge the Muslim Ummah to remember that this is a man who was caught on a leaked audio threatening "religious war" against them. And this latest criticism shows he is dead serious about that threat!

Of all the many things Obi said in his tweet, the only thing this guy called Reno managed to grab was cloths?

Is this guy such a dunce? Peter Obi never said anything about Tinubu wearing black cloths, what he said is that the President should not have dressed in flowing Agbada as if he going to a party, while he is going to see traumatised people

Peter Obi touched the fact that a public holidays was declared, children made to sing for the President under the rain, people made to line up and greet the President

The State is in mourning, they just lost over 200 people

But all Reno Omokri cares about is defending Tinubu's right to wear flowing Agbada in the face of death and destruction

He even lied that Obi said Tinubu should wear black.

This áshãwó kobo kobo have found his voice

When did Peter Obi say that Tinubu should wear black clothes?

Peter obi is the dunce here as he sees everything from igbo perspective. There is no type of dress specified for attending burial or condolences. During janaiza prayers for the dead, the leading imam is inrobes most times.

Mourning is an area of specialisation for Obi No one is contesting that, Obi should have been the one who visited Benue with his black attire

Can you define a dunce?. please

Is the tweet doing justice to my question

This Peter of a boy really needs to learn to shut his mouth.
I fouyit so childish that he went about ranting about the presidents choice of cloths.

This boy ia not mature enough to run a country like Nigeria.
He will destroy this country

Minister for Obi vs Minister for mourning

Peter Obi acts and speaks like someone with mental problem. So he doesn't know that muslims don't wear any particular colour of cloth to mourn the dead, even after he visited many mosques to distract Muslims from his yes daddy audio recording in which he revealed his true intentions against them?

What Obi should be explaining to Nigerians if the nuts in his head are still intact, is why he is now dressing in Indonesian national attire when he wants to be President of Nigeria. Is he not tired of disgracing himself?

Didn't read it, and I am already bored from Reno's japping. See how he drafted Islam into his narrative to create imaginary hatred towards Obi.

Obi will never be President.

That's the summary .

Deal with it.

People don laugh Peter obi tire on twitter. Like was he expecting Tinubu to wear a black robe like agbotikuyo

The president should have dressed casually to that place

Agbada was not needed at all, he is not going there for official paparazzi, people are being killed and he dey listen to his boys

Instead of moving into town to assess things himself

Peter Obi's account is not monetized

Reno Omokri's account is monetized.

Who is the content creator? It is Reno Omokri.

You do know its not so long that you guys began wearing clothes?

You do know that the whole Catholic mother wrapper that emanated from your SE was how Catholic church got new converts by sharing free wrapper so your grandmothers can attend mass decently .

Pathetic.

No surprises there.

Obi always acts in bad faith.

He has no morals.

That's why he uses the death and grief of others to score political points for himself.

It's all about him.
