Whenever Tinubu wants to attend any invitation, he always ask his close friends if Peter Obi is invited, and if Obi is truly invited, Tinubu will never attend that occasion

Pascalloyd:
Let me tell Nigerians a secret

Did you know that president Tinubu avoids Peter Obi like a plague?

I totally agree with you if you’re talking about corruption, obi is a learner when it comes to the person you mentioned and his wife and they are really above him in that area…

When you’re talking about drugs, obi cannot lace his shoes



I totally agree with you on those basis… but if you’re talking about

INTEGRITY 100 of your boss can never equal to one obi


You know why integrity is not important in that country called Nigeria ?

Because the masses are even more corrupt than their leaders, Tinubu is a saint if compared to the mindset you and your goons have…

Today, I experienced a profound shift in how I view power and leadership in Nigeria. My respect for Peter Gregory Obi didn't just grow; it transformed. Let me walk you through exactly what happened, and why it felt so revolutionary.

If you have ever attended a high-profile Nigerian burial, you know they rarely feel like actual funerals. They often devolve into political carnivals. The standard operating procedure for a "Big Man" arriving at such an event is designed to be disruptive: a convoy of blaring sirens, heavily armed security operatives forcefully clearing a path, the scramble of photographers, and the inevitable interruption of the priest's sermon so the dignitary can take a highly visible seat in the front row. The focus immediately shifts from the deceased to the politician.

I was in Ibusa, Delta State, attached to the entourage of a General for the burial mass of the late Senator Nwaboshi. Because of the caliber of the deceased, the church was a who’s-who of political heavyweights. The State Governor, former governors, and top dignitaries were already seated at the front. Our security team had set up a wide, tense perimeter, bracing ourselves for the chaotic entrances that always accompany late-arriving VIPs.

Then, Peter Obi arrived.

There was no siren. No advance team shoving people out of the way. He slipped through the doors with the quiet reverence of an ordinary parishioner who was simply there to pray. He navigated the crowded aisles without drawing attention and quietly slid into a regular wooden bench right in the middle of the church, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with everyday citizens. He understood something that many leaders forget: a funeral is a sacred moment of grief that belongs entirely to the mourning family, not a platform for political visibility.

For a while, the service carried on peacefully. But eventually, the protocol network caught wind of him. Our security radios started crackling with urgent, hushed chatter: "Peter Obi is inside. We have eyes on him in the general seating." For the church wardens and political protocol officers, this was a crisis of hierarchy. You simply do not leave a former governor and presidential candidate in the middle pews. A small team hurriedly made their way to his row, visibly anxious, and whispered an invitation for him to follow them to the heavily guarded VIP section at the altar.

His response was a masterclass in emotional intelligence and humility. He politely but absolutely refused.

Speaking softly to ensure he didn't interrupt the ongoing mass, he explained his reasoning. He told them that moving now would cause a stir. He knew that the moment the congregation noticed him walking down the aisle, the whispers, the standing, and the excitement would completely hijack the service. He refused to steal the peace of a grieving family just to satisfy the expectations of his political status.

He stayed right there, in the middle of the crowd, bowing his head and participating in the mass.

Watching him sit there, I realized something profound. We are so conditioned to associate power with noise, disruption, and VIP tags that we have forgotten what true dignity looks like. By actively rejecting the spotlight to honor the solemnity of a family's loss, Peter Obi showed that genuine influence doesn't need an entourage to announce it. It was the loudest silence I have ever witnessed in Nigerian politics.
