I just wonder how I got to become a Nigerian. The suffering is too much. Tinubu should either step down or fix the country. Or return it to where buhari left it.

I just trekked back hungry after looking for a job. May God help everyone currently facing pain.

Who told you all LP ers are Obidient? As an LP candidate you may pull ers from APC, PDP, and others. It depends on the politician involved.

Smelly hypocrite
In Lagos, it is LP from top to bottom, but outside Lagos, you know how to ditch LP and good candidates from other places.

They have no regards for anyone, even their parents. These set of individuals are the downfall of Peter Obi. I just retracted my steps when I saw that majority of them are rude, uncouth and degrading.

Those are typical Nigerian lingo of irresponsibility:

If a politician is caught misbehaving: detractors.
If a politician is challenged on malfeasance: opponents.
If the masses vent their frustration: Obidients.

A group of elders in Edo State has strongly condemned what they called “unwarranted barrage of insults and abuses” being directed at the Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare II, by ers of the Labour Party and its gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata.

The elders, who operate under the umbrella of the Edo Socio-Cultural Advancement and Good Governance Initiative, expressed shock and disappointment at what they described as a “childish, unwarranted and unacceptable behavior” of some Labour Party ers across various social media platforms.

DAILY POST recalls that the 2023 presidential candidate of LP, Peter Obi and Akpata on Saturday paid a courtesy visit to the Oba’s palace shortly after inaugurating the party’s campaign office ahead of the September 21 governorship election.

During the visit, Akpata while seeking the of the traditional ruler, repeatedly referred to himself as a “son of the palace” in both English and the local dialect.

But Oba Ewuare II later countered the claim.

According to a video clip making the rounds, the Oba swiftly dismissed his assertion, stating that he had asked one of his chiefs to Akpata’s claims, only to find that the candidate had no direct or distant links to the Palace.

The development did not go down well with some of the LP guber candidate’s ers, with some of them verbally attacking the Oba on various social media channels.

However, in a press statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, spokesman of the Elders’ group, Comrade Melvin Irabor, said the Oba was not out of place in correcting Akpata’s claim to be the “son of the palace.”

“Our Oba was not out of place in correcting the erroneous remarks and insinuations by the Labour Party candidate, Barr. Olumide Akpata, for claiming to be the ‘Son of the Palace’,” Irabor said.

He noted that they were inundated with a “barrage of abuses” on the revered Oba of Benin by Akpata’s ers on platforms.

Irabor read out some of the “disappointing comments,” including one by a who described the Oba as a “useless ruler,” and another who suggested that the Oba would have “warmly received” Akpata if he had brought “money full of ‘Ghana must go.'”


The group emphasized that the Oba of Benin, as the “mouthpiece of the gods and the revered royal father of the kingdom,” has a responsibility to stay apolitical and correct any candidate making “erroneous remarks and insinuations.”

"Every candidate contesting in this election has the and blessings of our Oba. He is the father of all and he wishes every one of them well,” Irabor stated.

The elders warned the Labour Party ers to desist from hurling insults on the Oba, stating that such actions would be considered an “affront on the palace.”

They called on all political parties to conduct their campaigns in a “democratic manner and keep the campaign issues-based.”

The Oba of Benin was right in correcting Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata in the palace and it was done amiably. I saw the video on this discussion forum yesterday and I didn't see why anyone would get riled over that correction because even though Olumide is from powerful aristocratic lineages from Benin and Usen (a town founded by Oranmiyan's older brother from Ile Ife (Ufe or Uhe), he is not a "son of the palace" as one of the long line of princes in the Benin kingdom. It was a slip of tongue or wrong choice of words. The Oba and Olumide ended on an amiable note. It wasn't a case of humiliation to discerning folks like me.

It was highly irresponsible for some bloggers, YouTubers, and some misguided ers of the LP to twist what happened and begin to hurl insults.

Abeg this is election period, someone can use the opportunity of what oba said to set the obedients up just to spoil the candidate chance. How do you know the obedients? Anybody can assume that to chase havoc
Nobody is setting anybody up. Everybody already know the antecedents of Obidients. So it's nothing new. They insulted Pa Adeboye, Prof Soyinka and several others.

There is nothing like "Hate Peter Obi because of his ers"!.
Those who "HATE" Peter Obi do not "hate" him because of OBIdients,they do so out of the FEAR of the Socio-political and socio-economic change and UPSETS he'll bring to their STATUS QUO or Political illusions,they only use OBIdients as SCAPEGOAT to FEAR Peter Obi(And possibly his tribe).

Do non believers hate JESUS because of CHRISTIANS?

Now every DICK and HARRY....or Tinubu's PROXIES in and out of Nairaland or through a so-called and FACELESS Group(because of some DEMONIC Political interests and Agenda)will just take ADVANTAGE of a negligible SNIDE REMARKS by some faceless children on FACEBOOK and use it to try to TARNISH the image of LABOUR PARTY and Peter Obi.

We know the game.
They have failed

Hahahaha my Benin people I waned you that embracing obidient is embracing destruction of your revered culture and tradition.

I told una no state in Nigeria and no tribe in Nigeria allow obidients to raised their ugly heads in their domain except Benin, they are all bastards, evil, cursed, satanic, disgusting an veemry useless.

I warned una to chase them out of your land orelse every bit of your cultural Valeu will be destroy, they are the descedants of the biblical "Beast 666" chase them out of your land they are selectively heavenly curse Nigerians. What you are seen from obidients today is as a result of generational selective heavenly cursed human from their birth. Alex Otti dissociated himself from them because he realised who truly they are in the spiritual world.

They tried to destroy SW but those people too strong for them to be destroy.

They tried to destroy the North they lost.

They tried to destroy SS it failed only Benin dem get.

They tried to destroy middle Belt it failed.

They tried to destroyed Imo, Ebonyi and Abia their party stronghold it failed only Edo fell for their evil destructive antics.

By 2027 we will totally and brutally destroy obidients its a promise...

So because traditional rulers should stay out of politics you expect the Oba to keep quiet and allow a commoner to be parading himself as a prince?
