The recent attacks on Pastor Enoch Adeboye over his comments on insecurity and President Tinubu reveal something troubling about the Obidient movement: many of them do not merely disagree; they desecrate.

Pastor Adeboye’s point was not that Nigeria is secure. In fact, he admitted that insecurity has worsened and that terrorism and kidnapping have spread from the North into parts of the South. He also urged that security chiefs be given strict marching orders and that sponsors of terrorism should be dealt with. His only offence was saying that once a Commander-in-Chief gives instructions to security agencies, he should not be expected to personally wear khaki and go to the battlefield.

Reasonable people can debate that position. They can say the President must do more. They can argue that command responsibility must be measured by results, not merely by instructions. That is fair.

But what did some Obidients do? As usual, they entered abuse mode. Suddenly, Adeboye became the enemy. A man they once quoted when it suited them became useless because he did not echo their preferred political anger.

Worse still, some now accuse him of ethnic bias, suggesting that he is defending Tinubu simply because Tinubu is Yoruba. This is one of the oldest tricks in Nigerian politics: when you cannot answer a man’s argument, explain his ancestry.

Curiously, this accusation is never applied evenly. If a Yoruba criticises Tinubu, he is praised as courageous and objective. If another Yoruba supports Tinubu, he is dismissed as tribalistic. If a Yoruba elder supports Peter Obi, he is celebrated as detribalised and enlightened. But if a Yoruba pastor says something that does not condemn Tinubu in the language Obidients prefer, he is suddenly an ethnic apologist.

That is intellectual dishonesty.

People support or defend political positions for many reasons: conviction, ideology, policy preference, institutional understanding, personal experience, or yes, sometimes ethnicity. But it is lazy and dishonest to assume tribal motive only when the opinion favours the candidate you oppose.

The real question is not whether Tinubu is Yoruba. The real question is whether Adeboye’s argument is right or wrong. If you disagree, answer the argument. Do not hide behind ethnicity because the facts are inconvenient.

This is the deeper problem. To many Obidients, every institution must bow to their politics: church leaders, traditional rulers, courts, media houses, INEC, security agencies, intellectuals, activists — everybody must either worship at the altar of Obi or be insulted.

That is not democratic engagement. That is political intolerance wearing activism as perfume.

No society grows when every disagreement becomes a licence for abuse. You can disagree with Adeboye without insulting his age, his faith, his office, his ethnicity, or millions who respect him. But restraint is difficult for people who treat politics like a crusade.

The tragedy is that this behaviour keeps pushing decent people away from their cause. They claim to want a new Nigeria, but they attack every voice that refuses to sing from their hymn book.

If Pastor Adeboye must be corrected, correct him with argument.

But if your first response is abuse and ethnic labelling, then the problem is no longer Adeboye’s statement.

The problem is your intolerance.

For when a man cannot answer your argument, he often settles for explaining your tribe. And when facts become inconvenient, ethnicity becomes the emergency exit.

The issue is not that Pastor Adeboye expressed an opinion. The issue is that many Nigerians remember a time when he was far more vocal about the failures of previous governments. That is why his recent comments have attracted scrutiny.
You cannot build a reputation for speaking truth to power and then appear to lower the standard when your preferred leader is in office. Consistency is the foundation of moral authority.

When previous administrations struggled with insecurity, corruption, fuel scarcity, or economic hardship, Pastor Adeboye did not hesitate to call for urgent action and national repentance. Today, insecurity has become even more widespread, kidnappings have reached communities once considered safe, millions are battling unprecedented economic hardship, yet his public criticism appears noticeably restrained. Nigerians have every right to ask why.

Saying that the President only needs to give orders ignores the very essence of leadership. A Commander in Chief is not judged by the orders he gives but by the outcomes those orders produce. If insecurity continues to worsen, then leadership must be held accountable. That principle applied under previous governments and it must apply now.

It is ironic that some people who once applauded Adeboye for challenging those in power are now asking Nigerians not to question him. Respect for a pastor does not require silence in the face of apparent double standards. Public figures who comment on national issues should expect their past statements to be measured against their present ones.

Reducing every criticism to "Obidients are attacking him" is also misleading. Many of those questioning Pastor Adeboye are not doing so because of Peter Obi. They are doing so because they expect consistency from someone who has long been regarded as a moral voice in Nigeria.
This is not about tribe. It is not about religion. It is about credibility. If the standards used to judge former presidents are abandoned when the current president is involved, then people are justified in pointing out the inconsistency.

Nobody is above criticism, whether politician or pastor. The same courage required to speak against yesterday's government should exist today. Otherwise, people will inevitably conclude that the message changes depending on who occupies Aso Rock.
That is the real issue. Not ethnicity. Not political affiliation. Consistency.

It is people like you work and get paid by a faaaake certttifficcate hollldderr that has made the country be what it is. You are lying and no one is attacking the Pastor

Since you data boiz are desperately searching for acknowledgement where your messiah has failed in every spheres of life you jump all lies and support it.

Pastor Adeboye knows himself that he is lying. You know that Pastor Adeboye is lying just as you lie always fir your messiah the faaaake certttifficcate hollldderr. The money you get from your faaake guru str*tegist to push the lies further has exposed you as those who lie about every failures of the roasted electricity fraud

No öne is surprised that you are jumping on the lies of Christian to defend the incompetence and cluelessness of the fraud you snatched and grabbed for
No one is attacking Adeboye. He is being called for defending what he castigated under our son GEJ. That is hypocrisy Mr data.

That means all reasonable Nigerians are Obidients. Is that not wonderful. The pastor in question has revealed who he really is and people of good conscience can discern that he has been a pretender all along.

And what's wrong with anybody supporting anybody in the first place,whats wrong with anybody having an opinion tiday and feeling differently about it tomorrow......the legendary ikemba Nnewi,dim odimegwu ojukwu that bravely fought a war of secession which to him at the time saw it as a war of freedom and emancipation for his people but was on record to have later declared that he agreed the war wasn't the best option at the time,someone who fought for and represented biafra still ran for office in the same country he sought to secede from.......that in anyway never diminished his person as a hero in the annals of our history and nobody from his tribe ever saw cause to ridicule him for having a different view after putting 3m of them to the slaughter.

Adeboye is an individual and has a right to his opinion which must be respected by everyone,you do not have to attack his person,thats the highest point of intolerance, how many apc supporters to you see insulting or harassing apostle suleiman or any clergy that is considered a hardliner against their party?

Truly, brain is not a requirement to be a tinubu supporter.


Just look at this child's reasoning. So sickening and disgusting.

That man's reputation has gone south, this administration revealed who he really is, an insincere, double standard in judgement, fake character who is just out there for his extreme flamboyant life style, to call this one a pastor is an insult to Christianity

They learnt it from nnamdi kanu.



After 2027 Peter obi defeat, they will all go back to their original mantra of Biafra or ☠️.

It’s 100% about tribe. And I’m not even saying this cuz of Papa Adeboye, im saying this cuz it didn’t start today… Even you, everything you said shows it all about tribe..

You wanna criticize Papa Adeboye regarding Jonathan and your only reference is 2014. Did Nigeria started in 2014?

Was it not this same Papa Adeboye that personally adopted Jonathan for Nigerians in 2011? Even allowing Jonathan to use the RCCG alter to speak to Nigerians? If you had no problem with Pa Adeboye supporting Jonathan im 2011, then why you having a problem with Pa Adeboye withdrawing his support for Jona in 2014?

Tinubu was now 3years and few months on the throne. Was it Jonathan first 3 years Baba Adeboye spoke out?

Again, Was it only SW that protested in 2014? Why the only emphasis on SW? We surely knows the answer, so you can keep fetching water inside basket!

Infact, despite all the support from the west in 2011 for Jonathan, it was all nothing for the west except hatred… The same eastern people that are showing hatred today, were the same people showing us hatred under Jonathan..

Una Agenda is DOA..
Una Agenda can never agend..

I blame the media arm of the church for being docile and not give it back to them. The bullying is becoming too much and agenda driven.

This why how they spread the lies that he protested against Jonathan at Ojota but is silent during Tinubu. Only God knows why the church allowed that to fester before being debunked recently.

The thing is, regardless of what Adeboye does, the church has committed the original sin by not surrendering her alter to their Messiah.

In fact the church and it's members must be extra vigilant this time around because these lots could go to any length to cause a security breach just to mock the church.

I am not obidient

I just hate church leaders who don't say the truth because of there selfish interest and Adeboye is one of them.

Thank U Sir

U shall live long.

Because that's what their elders taught them unfortunately.
Adeboye still complained bitterly about insecurity two days ago. They don't want that, what they actually want is support for their failed agitations.

It’s because their parents didn’t bring them up properly

BOOZELEE:

And the truth is that we should vote for Obi. SMH. He'll still lose terribly again. Sane people will not vote in terrorists and their enablers.
Anyone that doesn't support your fraud is evil and demonic, what kind of strategy is that one? You think Nigeria is that backward to fall for such useless nsogbu tactics?

BATified2023:
but oyedepo is a good man cos he's supporting obi right?

They can't say that. The agenda is clearly tribal for those who see. Wait for Sowore or that AriseTV OAP or Ednut or Oyedepo to cross line, then you'll hear the story of betrayal they really believe in.

OBIDIENTS attack everyone.

OBIDIENTS attacked Adeboye
OBIDIENTS attacked Wole Soyinka
OBIDIENTS attacked Sultan
OBIDIENTS attacked Ooni of Ife
OBIDIENTS attacked Oba of Benin
OBIDIENTS attacked General Gowon
OBIDIENTS attacked Sowore
OBIDIENTS attacked Deji Adeyanju
OBIDIENTS attacked Wike
Etc


OBIDIENTS instantly taken you as the enemy once you don't blindly support the fraud and liar called Obi

But must yorubas, igbos and hausas live together as a country.... These too much hate between yorubas and igbos, is it not better for igbos to go and have their own country so that yorubas and hausas can enjoy Nigeria in peace.

You criticize tulumbu, they tag you obidients
You criticize too much insecurity and deaths due to the incapacitation of current government, they say
"can't you see the coastal road?

You look at the coastal road and question the way and manner the contract was awarded and who it was awarded, and how much was disbursed, they call you PAINED

The thing about this government and their supporters is that, you're not supposed to question anything, if you ask questions about how the resources is used, they tag you igbo and obidients


What is yorubas constant obsession with igbos that they tag every one not supporting evil as igbos and obidients ?

I expected that when a government is criticized, the government and their supporters come forward with explanations and plans on how to make amends and build the country through transparency so that everyone will stop asking questions.

But rather, their response to criticism is launching tribal attacks, verbal and online wars on people that are asking questions... If you feel attacked by a mere question seeking explanation then you're deliberate in your incompetency in governance
