Is this not confirmation of the systemic injustice towards I-gbos in Nigeria? Tinubu has succeeded in destroying completely the image of Yoruba people in the eyes of other Nigerians. With all he has done, it is glaring that there will never be a Yoruba presidency again in Nigeria after his gone. It is indeed a shame that his tribesmen are not left out due to their complicity by their hatred, biased sentiments and continued support of every evil callous actions of his government. Nigerians from other tribes are watching and taking notes of who the yoruba people are, what they represent and their shared values especially when it comes to hate, tribalism, truth, justice and national inclusivity. Just like how Buhari's presidency exposed the hypocrisy of the fulanis, Tinubu's terrible divisive government will cause the yorubas an irreparable national damage as no Nigerian from other tribe may ever trust or want to support a Yoruba presidency ever again after 2031 if Tinubu succeeds in rigging the 2027 election. Nigerians will never forget the injustice, lawlessness and extreme hateful tribalism of this Yoruba government. Nigeria may be better off restructured or divided.

It is okay for you to have your victory dance once more in 2027 but note that it may be your last as far as Yoruba presidency is concerned. Nigerians especially in the north will never support it again.

seunmsg:
Those who came before you said all these and more. Today, Tinubu is president. After the 2027 election, you will still come back and say the same thing if you’ve not learnt your lessons by then. Won’t bother wasting my time on you.

I do agree that Tinubu may be the last Yoruba president in Nigeria, not because of his corrupt actions and draconian policies but because of the complicity of the Yoruba people and the role they played in supporting the attrocities of his government. A typical example of what I mean is the comment made by seunmsg a yoruba man below and other comments/actions of the yoruba people in support of Tinubu's bad government. Nigerians from other tribes are watching and taking notes of who the yoruba people are, what they represent and their shared values especially when it comes to hate, tribalism, truth, justice and national inclusivity. Just like how Buhari's presidency exposed the hypocrisy of the fulanis, Tinubu's terrible tribalistic government will cause the yorubas irreparable national damage as no Nigerian from other tribe may ever trust or want to support a Yoruba presidency again after 2031 if Tinubu rigs the 2027 election successfully. Posterity will always be the final judge after all is said and done.

seunmsg:
Between 2015 and 2023 Ibo like you, Mrvitalis, Racoon, Penguin2, CSTRR etc all claimed that a Yoruba man can never be president or vice president of Nigeria ever again after Osinbajo’s Vice Presidency. Guess what, Osinbajo’s tenure ended and Tinubu is now the president. He will also be president till 2031.

So you see, Ibos making this type of statement is not new. We will produce the Vice President again in 2031 and then take over from the north after 8 years. You will be here at every point in this journey as usual to make claims like this while the Yorubas and indeed the rest of Nigeria keeps laughing at you.

Yes in Nigeria, evil politicians have weaponized tribalism to keep the people divided while they plunder the nation's resources.

sirray001:
nothing like tribalism there unlike here in Nigeria

What exactly did the i-gbo people do to you? In my opinion, it is wrong to demonize a group of people just because of the action of a few bad people. The mob hate mentality been peddled by divisive agents may have influence you but it does not change the fact that i-gbo people are not all bad people just like your tribesmen are not all good people. Try to detoxify your mind from APC Nairaland tribal propaganda.

jaymichael:
Rage against you ibos is a waste of rage. You ibos are too inconsequential in the grand scheme of things in this country. We ignored you irritants and your annoying antics for so long because we know and see most of you are mentally sick and badly raised, until you started believing your own lies and hype.
We are only just returning the favour you keep dishing out for years to let you understand that you don't have monopoly of madness. We will deal with you aura for aura
You think you can do to us what you did to PMB and the North for 8 years. You joke. Hope you understand now, you sick weirdo.

If we were bandits, the Nigerian police wouldn’t come near us -Sowore/Iroegbu

Your hate-ful utterances does not change the fact that you love injustice and your evil political oppressors. Nothing will give you more joy than to see Nnamdi Kanu killed on the alter of your hatred for i-gbo people. My only consolation is that you and your loved ones still live in Nigeria, you like other Nigerians will inherit the consequences of what Nigeria will become at the end of Tinubu's tyrannical lawless government.

sreamsense:
You out of all people is even pointing to Obi that he failed. That failure started from you. You will write all these voluminous text book based articles but nothing sensible will be found. With all the random human right laws you were quoting yesterday, I was expecting you will be in the front row during protest in Abuja as I told you to know if you are serious. It is when you got there that the police closed gate, what a cowardice excuse?

You should be eating dinner now with KANU lawyer and his brother because their watery beans must be ready by now. Before you blame Obi, you have yourself to blame first, you are ignorant of what you are really doing and obi is too big to be dragged along that lane. Next time, make sure all your family members are on the front row of the protest and wear same cloths so we can take you more serious when KANU Biafra is achieved

The truth is that many Nigerians are too scared, selfish and sectional to support a nationwide protest and the evil Nigerian leaders knows that Nigerians can not come out en mass to protest against them.

richiemcgold:


How many people soldier go kill for this crowd na?🤥

This is how a supposed nationwide protest should be. Not a scanty gathering of less than 38 men claiming nationwide protest.

Peter Obi has proven that he is a sectional leader who seem to care more about his political gains than being a selfless defender of justice which he pretends to be. He is too petty and cowardly to be the revolutionary leader that Nigeria needs at this critical time. There is no excuse that will exonerate him over his failure to support the peaceful protest and speak against the injustice on Nnamdi Kanu his tribesman. You've accused IPOB of violence but intentional omitted the government's own side of violent conduct that triggered the crisis. I understand you are an Obidient member so your outburst in defence of Peter Obi is borne out of emotional sentiments and not based on facts.

Adaisback:
You can keep lying to yourself. There is nothing peaceful about ipob protest. They are very violent and they used to loot people's shops and businesses. Infact it is the shop owners that used to call the police many atimes. You need to jam ipob protest on your way travelling, walahi, your heart go comot. You will see young girls climbing on top of buses and shouting on top of their voices as if they are on hard drugs.Some will even collect money forcefully from commuters. Nothing peaceful about them at all.
So keep peter Obi out of your madness. He is not a terrorist, KANU is. Peter Obi is not only for the Igbos and he no dey do Biafra with you people. Peter Obi is for all Nigerians and incase you don't know, Edo state is the headquarter of the obidients and KANU is not an obidient member

That's fine since such suit will need to be filed by Buhari's family. It is not a treasonable offense.

WhizdomXX:
So what if he is charged for that tomorrow?

Hmm well I never said in my post that I was a saint.... If Nigerians had trooped out en mass for the protest I believe Tinubu would not have been able to easily get away with tyranny. I was at the protest ground and was denied access to the unity fountain. There were so many other Nigerians in their cars who drove by, seeing the injustice been done by the police towards the few protesters chose to look away and drive off. It was easy for the police to disperse protesters because the turnout was low. I think if many more Nigerians can let go of fear, selfish sentiments and tribalism, sacrifice to participate in peaceful protests, it will go a long way even though Tinubu's shameless APC government will still deploy armed men to try to arrest them. Peaceful protest is now a crime in Nigeria.

lamentor78:
You are also part of Nigeria problem don't try to be a Saint here, we are all part of the problem.

You think it is funny right? The injustice been perpetrated by this government will definitely get to you one day, may be then you will have a better understanding of the damage Tinubu has done to Nigeria.

jaymichael:
Nothing supposed concern Biafrans with Nigeria's constitution and justice system.

Don't you feel any shame supporting tyranny?

malali:
Only condition the government will release Nnamdi kanu is if he produces Jubril el-sudani.

He thought he was a clown ? Its now our turn to clown him as well.

And the Jubril el-Sudani he produces must have the tattoo on his left leg as he has always described.

It is indeed a national day of shame! As Tinubu's shameless government once again trampled on the consitution by criminalizing a peaceful Abuja protest, with heavily armed police men firing live bullets, teargas at peaceful protesters at will without any provocation. It is unfortunate that the only crime these protesters committed was to exercise their fundamental human rights to demand for an end to injustice in Nigeria, to demand for Nnamdi Kanu to be released.

Tinubu in 2012 alongside Buhari and other APC political figures currently part of his government shutdown Abuja the federal capital for over a week in protest against then president Jonathan's fuel price deregulation policy. He has overtime enjoyed the freedom that comes with democracy. It is sad that now as president, he has denied Nigerians that freedom he enjoyed by ensuring that they don't protest or speak out against any of the atrocities been commited by his lawless government. Any one who still foolishly believes that this government is democratic, can now see that Nigeria is been ruled by a ruthless dictator.

We have no democracy any more in Nigeria, what it is been practised now is dictatorial civilian administration pretending to be democratic. For all those who are happy over the injustice that was done to Sowore and other protesters, remember that tomorrow, it will be your turn. You will face the monster that you've emboldened and no one will be there to speak up for you or help you.

Today's protest may not have achieved it's aim of restoring Nnamdi Kanu's freedom but it has exposed Tinubu's tyrannical brutal leadership, the lawlessness of his government and the pervasive injustices that exists in Nigeria for the whole world to see. Tinubu has succeeded in destroying what is left of Nigeria's democracy!

And you are happy about that right? Tomorrow you may be treated unjustly by the same government you are hailing now and no one will be their to speak up for you.

madridguy:
Kudos to the Nigeria police. The arrested people should lock along side Kanu the terrorist.

Cmanforall:
Saw a photo of Sowore running

I am still at unity fountain and police men have sealed up the place. Nigeria is not a democratic country.

I am not a politician neither am I working for a politician. Is it my profile activity that is important or what i have to say? I expected you to tell me if what I said about Obi is not true. I can choose to post my opinion on any topic that I find interesting and you can choose to post yours as well. I've laid out my opinion on Peter Obi, if you are not happy then refute it objectively instead of attacking my profile. Has Peter Obi not been silent over the continued injustice towards Nnamdi Kanu by Nigeria's government? Again, I ask what has he done to help Nnamdi Kanu?

HisSexcellency:
The kind of politics we play in this country can never bring about progress and development to this country. Successful countries all over the world didn't get there through this route we are going. The bitterness, envy, pull him down syndrome, the '' if not me, then nobody else" mentality, clannish, tribalistic, and religious bigoted mindset will only lead to collective stagnation and gloom.

I just went through your profile, your moniker created in April 2025, which I believe is an alternate account. The account has been mainly passive on the forum, but all of a sudden in the passed one month, you've created over 30 topics here, all in politics session. All of these topics show your kind of person and the type of things that run through your mind on a daily, and you're supposed to be a youth.

I was at the protest ground and still currently close to the unity fountain maitama area. Heavy armed police men have sealed up every where. All protesters were disparsed by police. It is a shame that the government chose to attack protesters.

Malali I already know your intention as you keep peddling half truths and lies against Kanu and IPOB all over this platform. You have not once called out the government for it's role over the violence and killings in the south east. Your hate won't stop the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

malali:

When Nnamdi Kanu was saying the president was dead and had been replaced by a cloned Jubril El-Sudani from Niger republic.....did he produce a single witness to corroborate this or testify to the allegation ?

LMAO

Now, all of a sudden you know that a witness is needed to make outlandish claims ??

Can you explain how I've no point? Seem you are part of the Obidient movement. Peter Obi can not be trusted.

DMerciful:
You have no point!

Nnamdi Kanu was charged for terrorism and not about what he said regarding Buhari. Nigeria's government has failed to produce a single witness to testify how Kanu was directly linked to any killings or violence in the south east.

malali:
Only condition the government will release Nnamdi kanu is if he produces Jubril el-sudani.

He thought he was a clown ? Its now our turn to clown him as well.

And the Jubril el-Sudani he produces must have the tattoo on his left leg as he has always described.

A joint detachment of defence and security operatives has forcefully dispersed the Omoyele Sowore-led #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protesters in the Maitama Area of Abuja.

The protesters, which included Sowore, Barr. Aloy Ejimakor and others had gathered around the Nigeria Communications Commission NCC headquarters in Maitama, chanting “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now”.

They were also heard cautioning the police against teargassing them just before sounds of gunshots were heard, and they scampered to safety.

My answer to your question is irrelevant because I don't have an ambition to be the president of Nigeria. When you decide to become a public figure or occupy a public office like governor or vying to become a president of a country then you should be able to develop the thick skin required for the office. People will call you unprintable names and say all kinds of things about you. Peter Obi can not use that as an excuse not to support the movement to release Nnamdi Kanu if he truly believes in what he preaches regarding justice, competent principled leadership and accountability.

malali:

Kanu smeared countless people, shot off wild accusations without regard for consequences, and now he’s the one behind bars while some of those he slandered are forced to beg for his release. Imagine being branded “LGBT” falsely in public and then being expected to champion the freedom of the man who ruined your reputation. If someone had lied about you like that, would you lead a protest for them?

Peaceful protest is not illegal. Nigeria government's violent campaign against IPOB brought about tragic consequencies, destruction of lives and properties. You keep parroting the same false narrative on every thread about Nnamdi Kanu.

malali:
Peter Obi wants to stay squarely within the law.

Nnamdi Kanu’s campaign brought tragic consequences, lives lost, homes destroyed, livelihoods ruined by coerced sit-ins and unrest. Any reasonable person should avoid association with that brand of disruption.
Kanu’s actions warrant severe punishment; a long custodial sentence (40–50 years) would serve as a deterrent to others who gain satisfaction from violence, theft of property, and the destruction of people’s livelihoods.

I understand that Kanu had in the past spoken negatively about Peter Obi sleeping with other men. If this is another reason behind his silence over the injustice towards Nnamdi Kanu, then it shows that he is too petty to be Nigeria's president. It shows that his strong principled stance against injustice is a farce.

Earlier this year, Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson was dragged almost naked off a plane after assaulting airline personnel. Peter Obi in his usual antics of reacting in a bombastic way to every national issue, released a press statement in which he said.

“We must end this selective treatment of the poor or less privileged. If justice must be served, it should be served to all, and it must be served fairly."

“The rule of law based on justice for all must remain the guidepost of our democracy.”

Ever since #FreeNnamdiKanu movement started, Peter Obi strangely has gone silent, he appear to have suddenly lost his voice, his usually way of dominating the news cycle seem non existent, unlike the case of Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson, Peter Obi appears to have lost his strong stance on justice in calling for an end to the unjust treatment of Nnamdi Kanu. I had wondered as it was not clear to me initially as to why Peter Obi who usually loves to grace the front pages of newspapers on every national trending issue will choose to be silent and stay away from supporting the release of Nnamdi Kanu until Sowore made a revelation about it. While responding to a question asked by Seun Okinbaloye whether he reached out to Peter Obi, Sowore said, "Well, Peter Obi interestingly never got back to me. I found out two days ago that he had responded somehow, and I think it was a measured response.

“He said, ‘Okay, you know, they shouldn't have arrested him.’ I think Peter Obi and his people feel like this is some kind of ‘steal the show,’ we don't want to be part of it kind of thing. But anybody who is sensible would understand that where there's injustice, you don't look at who is fighting for what is a just cause. You think about the cause.”

I watched a video of his response regarding Nnamdi Kanu and all what Obi could say about it in summary was a lame response that Nnamdi Kanu should not have been arrested in the first place. Peter Obi has always portrayed himself as the face of the oppressed in Nigeria, he has on several occasions portrayed himself as someone who believes strongly in justice. It is indeed a shame that he chose to politicize joining a peaceful protest to demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu by staying away simply because he is not the one that started the movement or leading it. Just as Sowore said and I agree that "where there's injustice, you don't look at who is fighting for what is a just cause. You think about the cause". The fact that Peter Obi, an Igbo man can not rally his base to join the October 20th peaceful protest in soildarity to demand for an end to the continued injustice towards Nnamdi Kanu, shows that Peter Obi cannot be trusted. It is a confirmation of his true selfish motives that he cares more about politics than justice even when it has to do with his tribesman.

Peter Obi failed Nnamdi Kanu when it mattered most....
