Yesterday, social media went agog with claims that the seasoned Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has abandoned the Obidient Movement after he expressed his disagreement with a view point of a popular Obidient.

He took it upon himself to clear the air, confirming he is still on board with the Obidient Movement idea.

On Sunday at 4:30 PM, David Hundeyin quoted a new source with the false claim and put out the clarification:

"You people want this nonsense to be true so badly that even TVC News reported it, as if an opinion I tweeted is national news.

For the record, offering criticism to a movement is not the same as "distancing myself" from it.

Not all of us can be followers of drug pushers who treat their political affiliations like cult membership.

Go out and touch infinite amounts of grass."

fuckingAyaya:
And you expect somebody to sit down and tune to TVC? I rather watch pinky and the brain

LoyalKwaraMan:
Thank you so much David for refuting their lies. Thank you.

See why no matter the propaganda about IGBOs..we will still love them more that kriminals like TINUBU as exposed by David and Sowore.

One of such posts on Nairaland amplifying the now debunked rumour bore the sensational headline:

The Obidient Movement Is FINISHED, David Hundeyin Agrees With APC Fellow

DesChyko:
You literally had all the time in the world to confirm the meaning of debunk on your "smartphone" before posting this.

But no, you chose to expose your rock solid ignorance to the world.

JuanDeDios:
No. You, sir, have poor comprehension skills. If you call me a thief and I come out to say I'm not a thief, I have DENIED it. Period. That is the right word in this context.

Debunk has a restrictive use - for example, if you show the public a phone and say I stole it, and I later show PROOF that the phone actually belonged to me. That is when the press will say I have debunked your allegation. A mere denial of an allegation, like Mr Hundeyin did, does not call for the word "debunk".

DesChyko:
Lol.. Ignorance is bliss. You must have assumed you're speaking to a novice in the use of English.

Go fool someone else.
