How To Spot An Obidient On Nairaland: A User Guide .

Not everyone who criticises Tinubu is an Obidient. Not everyone who disagrees with Pastor Adeboye is an Obidient. Not everyone who supports opposition politics is an Obidient.

But there is a pattern.

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.

You can usually spot them by the familiar feathers.

First, they rarely answer the issue. If you raise facts, they attack your motive. If you ask for evidence, they say you are paid. If you question Peter Obi, they say you are working for APC. If you defend a point they dislike, they call you “data boy.”

Second, they confuse abuse with intelligence. Instead of argument, you get insults. Instead of data, you get slogans. Instead of reasoning, you get “fake certificate,” “snatch and grab,” “criminal,” and other recycled chants.

Third, they practice selective outrage. When a pastor, activist or elder appears to support Obi, he is a voice of conscience. But if the same type of public figure says something that does not serve their political anger, he becomes tribal, fake, compromised or useless.

Fourth, they dodge facts like rain. Present figures, they change topic. Present history, they shout propaganda. Present voting patterns, they reply with emotion.

So no, I do not call people Obidient simply because they disagree with me. I notice the uniform: abuse first, evidence last.

If it walks like selective outrage, quacks like political intolerance, and swims comfortably in insult, I do not need DNA test to know the species.

You can deny being Obidient, but if your argument came from the usual insult factory, do not blame me for identifying the manufacturer.

Adeyemi Martins name Will not ring a bell

This is a name that has received billions under this administration with an agency that exists only on paper.

How else can one define corruption

CharlesCNG:
Obidient deflection spotted.

My brother, I am not the only contributor on Nairaland, and I am not under obligation to open a thread on every tragedy, every policy issue, every kidnapping, every court case, every election, and every national crisis.

You and your fellow Obidients are free to open threads on any topic that interests you. I am also free to open threads on topics that interest me. That is the basic meaning of a public forum.

But this is the simple democratic principle many Obidients struggle with: there is no compulsory unanimity of opinion in a democracy.

Nairaland is not your WhatsApp group. It is not an Obidient prayer band.
It is not a place where only anti-Tinubu anger must be allowed to breathe.
It is a forum where different sides can argue, disagree, rebut and present competing narratives.

If you care about the abducted children, open the thread. I will not stop you. If you want to discuss insecurity, discuss it. But do not use tragedy- as you obidients do- as emotional blackmail to dictate what another person must write about.

That is bullying, not activism.

Your real anger is not that I failed to open a thread. Your anger is that I keep opening threads that challenge your political comfort zone.

And I will continue to do that.

Because some of us are determined to stand up to this anti-democratic Obidient habit of abuse, intimidation and narrative policing on Nairaland.

You want everyone to hear only the sound of your own angry voice.

Sorry, this forum is still open to other voices.

Open to voices of deception, propaganda and deceit while Nigerians suffer

yarimo:
2027 kwankwaso will know what is really Andrew liver salt in Kano state

The Op will not open thread about more than 30 Borno kids writing Neco that was abducted by Boko haram..

It's always about demeaning opposition, is Opposition the problem of Nigeria?.
APc has proven to bereft of ideas on how to pilot the affairs of the country..

Attack Kwankwaso all you want. it won't bring back the oyo children in the bush

Tinubu is a failure

Ttalk:
What do you say to a pastor who want the President poisoned?

Your attempt to divert the thread is dead on arrival

Lifestone:
Cynic spotted. What you refused to understand is that that you don't like the government does not mean everything they do is bad. This is a good reform

They'll pump more money into the program and it won't get to the corpers..

just another avenue for some to loot

why not increase the allawee once
they can save and venture into entrepreneurship after service

Aptly put

I would suggest they use this additional funds to increase the stipends of corpers..

instead of extending the duration on camp..

lawani:
The only advantage the bandits have over the armed forces is that their exact location is not known

Do you know that the terrorists know when the army will attack them..
They seem to be getting information ahead

This shows they have another advantage given to them by the government

Pardoning and releasing terrorists back to the society favours no one but the terrorists

Dotherightthing:
Shame on you
They've been rescued

Propaganda doesn't run a government
more than 40 kidnapped
10 students escaped

Go to English Alhaji page for the whole gist,

This government is shameless

They don't really care about the country

don't care about your security
don't care about your welfare

only about their personal interest

Dotherightthing:
Gerrout
Daddy G O will never support Obi

Oyo kids are in the bushes
Daddy GO is busy defending incompetence just like you..

It's okay for the world to see that You and Adeboye operate on the same level.

Reference:
Was about to say something rather similar but deleted it. He should just stop these statements on the country and this government. He is beginning sound like a spokesman and that is toying with his well earned reputation.

He's an APc spokesman
And he's doing a good job
forget about any reputation

Validated:
Baba please 🙏 let's focus on making people make heaven. Leave Nigeria politics alone, you have built an enviable reputation that some of us adore. Do not soil it for political alignment or support. Nigerians are angry with Tinubu for POOR performance.

I know that you're disappointed

But Adeboye is just a man, has flaws and greedy, he can't help himself, he has dined and drank with todays politicians that has ran this country to the ground..

believe me he would have been singing a different song if it was a Jonathan presidency, how else can you define a hypocrite

Shame on anyone who leaves God to look up to man.

TemplarLandry:
This is serious.
These scallywags will be rounded up soon.

Rounded up soon by who?

A useless president and party tormenting Nigeria since 2015.

keep fooling yourself

madridguy:
Thanks to the Christians countries like the US, UK and France that brought this upon the black person.

Everyone were living fine in Libya during the Ghadaffi era before the evil people brought their evil networks to fall his regime and turn the once prosperous country into a terrorist hub.

As expected..
let's blame the victim and exonerate the despicable Muslims looking for any possible means to kill and maim...

To be freed as repentant individuals tomorrow and the business continues

APc can't fool me

Lithiumite:
All the obidients shouting tinubu is stealing your petrol money,prices are going down and will get back to the pre war rates should take note......propaganda can and will never help your candidate win and you guys crass ignorance about basic economics shows you and your leaders can't solve our problems.....how can you claim you can fix what you don't even understand.

oyo kids are in the forest with kidnappers under Tinubu regime and you're not even ashamed to come online

Peacecore:
Maybe with massive rigging sha

How did he land in Abuja

adaxme:
What can one billion buy ??
200 m was Worth more

before Tinubu 200m was block money..

Today 1b can't even get a choice mansion in Eko Atlantic

Peacecore:
As it is your area does it mean the people voted Tinubu or brothers, Asogwa and co? Go and write it down, Tinubu is not getting 25% in Enugu or Anambra. He'll get that in Imo, Ebonyi, and maybe Abia.

Tinubu can get whatever he wants to get anywhere...

Go and write it down

Good One

Oyo forest must be free whether Tinubu likes it or not

Dalohad:
When you hear names like

Asogwa
Ajibo
Ugwuanyi
Ugwuoke
Ojobo

Just know you are referring to an Nsukka man.

Nsukka Deje

Rigged election

But the Governor is trying...

Peacecore:
This is just a local election contested by Nsukkarians only so relax, Tinubu's not beating Peter anywhere in the South East though he'll have good outing in Imo and Ebonyi.

This is my area and I can tell you to forget about 2027 elections.. there was no election and in 2027 worse will occur..

Nigeria has no redemption
it went downhill since 2015

Gentledove2001:
Some people will cry today, their social media president no wan talk about the election, they will tell me that is different from presidential election. By 2027, they will know that politics is local and they would continue the hash tag "not my president" until 2031. I don’t want Tinubu to win but for the agulu fake statistics man to win let Tinubu continue.

Let Tinubu win and let Fulani continue to concentrate on their conquest over there..


You come online and brag about how sophisticated APc is in rigging elections.. and yet feel shameless doing so.. there's nothing anyone can do about that..

The worst election in the history of Enugu State..

Shame on Nigeria

Rapmoney:
26. Even if na only shadows we see, we go still know them.

Emeka ike and ini edo

eepeepook:
I’ve never heard of her in my life.

no one have heard of her

she's paying seun for publicity

Kanwulia:
What is this? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 What does Tinubu take Nigerians for?

Afi “MASTER STRATEGIST”!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Enugu North election was rigocracy

Tinubu has already won this election

he has South East in the bag

see election

kennyz247:
Nigerians no know there problem, imagine a sane person still voting APC at this point...

This is my local government

do you think election counts

Tinubu has already won 2027 ... until we restructure our electoral system

Menclothing1:
I have a country Nigeria that’s my identity that’s the passport I use to move around the world
God will destroy all terrorist sponsored people living in Nigeria

I didn't know God was your elected commander in chief.. kudos

Menclothing1:
You and your family will burn first and the country will stand

for your mind

A country that pardons terrorists and incarcerats those exposing evil acts of terror is a country?..
so you have a country..

agulion:
Most of us Yoruba Muslims do not support islamic bandits and Terrorists (BAT), it is very painful this islamic terrorists are doing all this evil in the SW, it may look suspicious due the fact that some of us Yoruba Muslims are silent

Yoruba and fulani are one

BAT 2015
