DatNiggaDaz:Thank you for proving the article correct with your own mouth. You say “no one is attacking Pastor Adeboye,” then in the same breath call him a liar, accuse him of hypocrisy, and drag everybody into “fake certificate,” “data boys,” “snatch and grab,” “fraud,” and other recycled mindless street slogans. If this is not attack, then what exactly do you call it — praise and worship? This is the Obidient style I was talking about: when argument is required, abuse arrives first. Let us separate the issues. Pastor Adeboye did not say Nigeria is secure. He admitted insecurity has worsened. He spoke about terrorism, kidnapping, and the spread of insecurity. He also said security chiefs should be given clear orders and that sponsors of terrorism should be dealt with. The part you people hate is that he said the President cannot personally wear khaki and go to the battlefield. You can disagree with that. You can say Tinubu must take full responsibility because he is Commander-in-Chief. That is a valid argument. But instead of making that argument cleanly, you people went into ethnic labelling, personal abuse and religious disrespect. On your claim that Adeboye castigated Jonathan but now defends Tinubu, I challenge you: bring the exact quote, date and context. Because the popular evidence people keep circulating is false. That viral photo claiming Adeboye protested against Jonathan has been fact-checked repeatedly. It was not from Jonathan’s era; it was from a 2020 peace walk under Buhari. In fact, what the public record shows is almost the opposite. Jonathan visited the RCCG camp in 2015 and knelt for prayers. Adeboye prayed for peaceful elections. Around the same period, Jonathan also met Obasanjo in Abeokuta in the presence of Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo, a meeting widely reported as part of efforts to calm political tensions before the election. So where exactly is this story that Adeboye “castigated” Jonathan? This is the usual pattern: invent history, circulate it emotionally, then use it to justify abuse today. You can disagree with Adeboye’s latest position. That is your right. You can say Tinubu must take more responsibility for insecurity. That is a valid argument. But do not rewrite history to excuse your movement’s standard behaviour of insulting anyone who refuses to echo your anger. If Adeboye supported or prayed for Jonathan, he was a man of God. If he says something that does not condemn Tinubu in your preferred language, he suddenly becomes a tribal hypocrite. That is not principle. That is Obidient intolerance looking for a Bible verse. Even if he criticised Jonathan before, that does not automatically mean every present statement must be anti-Tinubu to prove consistency. Circumstances, wording and context matter. And please, enough of this “paid” nonsense. If my argument is false, rebut it. If I lied about Adeboye’s statement, show the lie. If Tinubu’s certificate is your issue, open that thread. Do not run from the topic and hide inside your usual insult basket. The issue here is simple: can you disagree with a respected religious leader without abusing him? So far, your answer is no. |

Ekpeitut:Nobody is saying Pastor Adeboye is above criticism. He is not. If anyone disagrees with his statement on Tinubu and insecurity, they are free to disagree. But let us not replace facts with vague memory. You said Adeboye was “far more vocal” against previous governments. Fine. Bring the exact quote, date and context. The most popular claim being circulated — that Adeboye protested against Goodluck Jonathan — has been fact-checked repeatedly and found false. The viral protest photo was from a 2020 prayer walk under Buhari, not Jonathan. In fact, public records show that Jonathan visited the RCCG camp in 2015, knelt for prayers, and Adeboye prayed for peaceful elections. Reports also showed Jonathan meeting Obasanjo in Abeokuta in the presence of Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo. So where exactly is this story that Adeboye treated Jonathan with fire and Tinubu with perfume? Even under Buhari, Adeboye’s 2020 walk was a prayer walk against killings and insecurity, not a partisan campaign rally. And even now under Tinubu, Adeboye did not say Nigeria is safe. He said insecurity has worsened, urged security chiefs to move fast, and called for terrorists and their sponsors to be dealt with. His controversial point was that the President is not expected to personally wear khaki and go to the battlefield. You can disagree with that. I may even agree that a Commander-in-Chief must ultimately be judged by results, not instructions. But that is different from calling him a tribal hypocrite or pretending he never criticised insecurity under this government. The real problem is that some people want Adeboye to use their exact political language. If he prays, they say he is silent. If he advises, they say he is soft. If he does not insult Tinubu, they say he is compromised. Criticism is fair. Abuse is not. So let us discuss consistency with evidence, not with rumours, recycled photos and emotional suspicion. |

Image123:That's a weak deflection. Whether someone supports Peter Obi or not has nothing to do with the substance of the argument. The issue is whether Pastor Adeboye has applied the same level of public pressure to this administration as he did to previous ones. If he has consistently asked every government to do better with the same urgency and intensity, then fine. But if his tone becomes noticeably softer when the government is led by someone he is perceived to be close to, people are entitled to question that. Dragging Peter Obi into every criticism of Tinubu or Adeboye is simply a way of avoiding the real conversation. As for calling Obi a "fraud runaway candidate," that's just political name-calling. It doesn't answer the criticism. If your defence of Adeboye depends on attacking another politician instead of addressing the point being raised, then you've already conceded the argument. |

oyichi:Thank you for confirming the point: insult is not an accident in your camp; it is becoming a political inheritance. You say no one is attacking Pastor Adeboye, then call him fake, insincere, double-standard, flamboyant, and “an insult to Christianity.” If that is not attack, then maybe abuse has now been renamed “constructive criticism” in Obidient dictionary. Now let us be honest. In 2023, several pastors and Christian voices openly leaned toward Peter Obi or gave him visible platforms. Pastor Paul Enenche shared a photo with Peter Obi and Bishop David Oyedepo and described Obi as “the way to go.” Punch and Channels reported it as an endorsement. Peter Obi also appeared at Dunamis in 2022, where he received massive attention from worshippers. The controversial Obi-Oyedepo “Yes Daddy” audio also showed how seriously Obi’s camp valued clerical influence; TheCable reported Kenneth Okonkwo accepted the audio as authentic, while Labour defended it against claims of religious bigotry. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome also made widely reported 2023 election comments involving the major candidates and what he said an angel told him. So let us stop pretending pastors in politics became a problem only because Adeboye said something that did not serve your anger. When clerics appeared favourable to Obi, they were “voices of conscience.” When Adeboye speaks in a way you dislike, he becomes fake, tribal and an insult to Christianity. That is not principle. That is selective outrage. You can disagree with Adeboye. You can question consistency. You can demand stronger language on insecurity. But once your response becomes personal abuse, you prove the very intolerance being discussed. The issue is simple: are pastors allowed to speak politically only when they support your candidate? |

BOOZELEE:My brother, it depends on what you call “the truth.” In 2023, when some church leaders openly leaned toward Peter Obi, was that “truth” or politics? When Pastor Paul Enenche posted Peter Obi with Bishop Oyedepo and declared him “the way to go,” was that truth or political endorsement? When Obi appeared at Dunamis and the church atmosphere turned into political excitement, was that truth or pulpit politics? When the controversial “Yes Daddy” audio involving Obi and Bishop Oyedepo surfaced, and even Kenneth Okonkwo admitted the audio was authentic, was that truth or religious mobilisation? When Pastor Chris Oyakhilome released his angelic-style election message that many interpreted politically, was that truth or spiritualised campaigning? You see the problem? If a pastor speaks in a way that favours Obi, he is a courageous voice of conscience. If another pastor speaks in a way that does not condemn Tinubu with the anger you prefer, he is selfish, fake, compromised and not telling the truth. That is not principle. That is selective outrage. The real issue is not whether church leaders should be questioned. They should be. The issue is whether your camp applies the same standard to all of them. If pastors must stay away from partisan politics, then say so consistently. If pastors may speak on national issues, then accept that they will not always speak your preferred political language. But do not call it “truth” when it favours Obi and “selfish interest” when it does not. That is not Christianity. That is political convenience wearing choir robe. |

CharlesCNG: ![]() Data boi, you are not gaslighting any one other than your own self. You are desperately looking for support for the failure you are defending and there is none that will come your way. Adeboye who is a Christian Pastor has now become someone to help whitewash the incompetence and cluelessness of the faaake muslim muslim ticket kriminal. Adeboye is lying and sane Nigerians know he is lying and he himself knows that he is lying. Nigerians are the culprits of insecurity in the hands mandate snatchers and grabbers and Adeboye telling lies because of tribalism and using the Jezebel in the house to whitewash a failed kriminal is DOA. When you lie, that this Chicago faaake certttifficcate holder is not to be blamed, it is what it is, a lie, and who ever said it is a liar. There is no insult there, that it what it is it. Your aim of using a Pastor to defend the incompetence of the faaake ocean tamer and divide the Christians is also DOA. There is no epistle you write that you aim to demonize those against the failed kriminal that will succeed You are a testimony to that fact yourself that you have to create many epistles of lies, propaganda and deciet against your nightmare which are failing woefully prompting you to create more meaningless desperate threads ![]() No peace for wick"d creatures |

Ekpeitut:This sounds neat, but it still dodges the evidence. You keep saying Adeboye applied “more pressure” to previous governments, especially Jonathan. Fine — bring the exact quote, date and context. Because the most popular evidence people are using, the so-called Adeboye protest against Jonathan, has been fact-checked and found false. The photo was from a 2020 prayer walk under Buhari, not Jonathan. In fact, the public record shows Adeboye did not treat Jonathan the way you people are claiming. Jonathan visited RCCG camp in 2015, knelt for prayers, and Adeboye prayed for peaceful elections and strength for him. On Tinubu, Adeboye did not say Nigeria is secure. He admitted insecurity has worsened, urged the President to give security chiefs a strict deadline, and called for terrorists and their sponsors to be dealt with. The part people are angry about is his view that the President cannot personally go to the battlefield. So the issue is not “consistency” until you prove the inconsistency with evidence. Right now, what I see is this: when Adeboye prays for Jonathan, context matters. When he speaks under Buhari, people mislabel the photo. When he advises Tinubu, he suddenly becomes compromised. That is not moral scrutiny. That is selective outrage looking for a witness. |

CharlesCNG:This is selective outrage disguised as a defence of decency. Yes, some Obidients abused Pastor Adeboye, and they were wrong. But let's not pretend abuse is unique to Obidients. Tinubu supporters and data boys have viciously attacked clerics, journalists, critics,ex president Jonathan/his dear wife and even Peter Obi. Also, criticising Adeboye's comments is not the same as abusing him. You're deliberately conflating the two to shield his statement from scrutiny. |
| Re: Why Are Obidients Attacking Adeboye? Intolerance Is Becoming Too Loud To Ignore. by Image123(m): 8:48am On Jul 01 |
Ekpeitut:What level of public pressure, urgency or intensity do you refer to? What pressure did he put GEJ or fPMB to? He simply makes comments once in a while from his pulpit or programme. Meanwhile he openly endorsed and prayed for the same GEJ in ways he's never done for Tinubu. Recently, he gave Tinubu 90days or something. 2 days ago, he said things are worse and they've brought insecurity to him. What greater things did he do to GEJ. Did he shut down his government or campaign against him. Let me understand better. |

DatNiggaDaz:Slogan boi, thank you for confirming the entire point of the thread. You say nobody is attacking Adeboye, then proceed to call him a liar, tribalist, whitewasher, and drag his wife with “Jezebel” language. If this is your definition of non-attack, then your dictionary must have been printed by the Ministry of Obidient Outrage. This is exactly the behaviour being discussed: once someone does not speak in your preferred anti-Tinubu tone, you people don’t argue — you combust. Adeboye did not say Nigeria is secure. He did not say Tinubu has solved insecurity. He acknowledged the spread of insecurity, called for urgent action, and said security chiefs should be held to task. His only offence is that he did not reduce the matter to your usual slogan of “criminal, fake certificate, snatch and grab.” That is why your response is full of noise but empty of substance. You call me “data boi” because I bring context. Fair enough. I would rather be a data boy than an abuse boy whose entire argument is certificate chants, tribal accusations and emotional gymnastics. If Adeboye lied, quote the exact lie and rebut it. If his reasoning is wrong, show why. If you believe the President must take fuller responsibility as Commander-in-Chief, make that argument cleanly. Many reasonable people can even agree with that. But all this “fake Muslim-Muslim ticket criminal,” “Jezebel,” “wicked creatures,” and “no peace” only proves that[b] insult is not an occasional Obidient mistake; it is becoming your political operating system.[/b] You people keep saying you want a new Nigeria, but you cannot even produce a new argument. Same abuse. Same slogans. Same conspiracy. Same anger. So please, Slogan Boi, leave the fumes and face the issue: did Adeboye deny insecurity, or did he call for action while making a point about the limits of personal battlefield command? Answer that, not your imaginary certificate choir. |
| Re: Why Are Obidients Attacking Adeboye? Intolerance Is Becoming Too Loud To Ignore. by CharlesCNG(op): 9:22am On Jul 01 |
Ekpeitut:nobody said abuse is exclusive to Obidients. Political abuse exists across camps. Tinubu supporters do it. PDP supporters do it. Obi supporters do it. That is not the argument. The argument is more specific: in this particular Adeboye episode, the loudest and most vicious attacks I have seen are coming from people using Obidient language, Obidient talking points and Obidient grievance templates. I also never said all Obidients are abusive. That would be unfair. But many of the people who turn every disagreement into abuse, call everyone paid, tribalist, fake, compromised or wicked simply because they refuse to echo Obi-aligned anger, are usually Obidients. That pattern is too consistent to ignore. |

BOOZELEE:Please lend your own brain to the conversation first before asking others to use theirs. I never said everyone criticising Adeboye is Obidient. That is your own invention. What I said is that many of the loudest, most abusive attacks on him are coming with the familiar Obidient fingerprint: “paid,” “tribal,” “fake,” “data boy,” “criminal,” “certificate,” “snatch and grab,” and zero engagement with the actual statement. If it quacks like an Obidient, insults like an Obidient, dodges facts like an Obidient, and shouts “data boy” like an Obidient, forgive me for recognising the duck. There is a difference between criticism and abuse. A person can disagree with Adeboye without being Obidient. But when the response sounds exactly like the usual Obidient insult factory, people are allowed to notice the manufacturer. So no, the issue is not “anyone against Adeboye is Obidient.” The issue is: why do so many Obidient-style responses collapse into abuse whenever someone refuses to condemn Tinubu in their preferred language? Use brain, yes. But first, stop using straw man as walking stick. |

Ekpeitut:Can you tell us how many times he has spoken to power? Maybe once each during Buhari and Jonathan and he was younger then. The problems of obedients is that, Nigeria must burn down because their preferred candidate came 3rd in an election, and Anyone who is not blaming and attacking govt of the day, they must come for him, but if Satan is being critical of govt of the day, it automatically becomes their friend and lord. |
