This is not an attack on the political candidate Peter Obi - but curiosity about his avid young supporters who preached sainthood. 


It's a popular culture to switch political parties in Nigeria and also, a popular culture to criticize politicians who do so. In 2023, Peter Obi was polished by Nigerians as the Messiah - and I felt confused... Did they mean the perfect man for the job? Or the better man for the job? - the views I got pointed to the former and it became clear to me.


Labour party which became the Church of the Saints, was publicized with all virtues you could think of - and it felt so sacred that people didn't mind being card carriers of the party. The sacred party in the shortest time ever, began having cracked walls and pillars due to inferior building materials - and everybody in it now wants to run out before the building collapses on them. Some have escaped successfully, some are still acting brave with faint hearts staying in the building because they don't want to be caught cowardly running out of the building - but eventually one of them just did recently - but he ran out majestically. 


Now that the Super Star of the Labour party has been exported to the ADC, will the Obidients cross-pollinate? - Or would they tag the Super Star as part of the "Old Block"? - or would they do damage-control and say - "It's not by what you wear that matters to God, but your heart?" - I dunno...


But what I do know is that - Peter Obi is a fantastic actor, playing very good scripts and doing the job of a Politician as it should. Obidients on the other hand, are the pieces of papers used for the scripts and flung out to the wind after use.

... not just the Labour party though, but other parties do that too.


The nail point: politics is technical-sportsmanship and not some emotional battle. Politicians play it like a game; their supporters play it like war. 

The Obidients probably have a new party since their motivations are attached to the Person rather than the party. 


The moral question is: if they will be disobedient to their idol or continue to be obedient.

It's simply the very hot FaaYaa 🔥 in their nyasch 🤗

No one mastered hypocrisy pass the Obidients. They careless to practice what they have been preaching

This isn't a spam - a technical issue caused this and I cannot delete the duplicated post.

On the contrary, I do not dislike the responses. The responses show diversity of human thinking which I think everybody likes.
