Whether you him or not, I don't really care. I'm not trying to discourage your or separate you from your mandate. But his departing there to Rome for the Pope's demise to commiserate with them is UNNECESSARY and the height of EYE SERVICE.

A simple tribute will travel far and serve better. He's becoming an upscale Sanwo Olu because of politics, who kept on visiting every Dick, Tom, and Harry...for mere political points.

Why must everything be politics to you? If PO wants to be a monk, how does that affect your life? Those who go to Hajj, do they take permission from you?

A private citizen utilized his time and resources as he deemed fit yet you, battling whatever economic demons that's afflicting you, are the one complaining. Are you his wife or side chick ? The wickedness you people exhibit in this country is mind blowing cool

But he's a devout Catholic. I see nothing wrong in what he has done with his own personal funds. Why does it hurt you so much? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Totally unnecessary...na one of the useless things wey Nigeria dey waste forex on be that. It's a classic example of the pointless stupidity of the Black Man

Meanwhile agbado dogs should not rush to like and comment on this post, their political deities i.e. Nyesom Wike, Shettima, Tinubu etc are a thousand times more guilty of this type of stupidly wasteful behaviour

Some of you play bad politics. Peter Obi is a private citizen and businessman. He is a catholic. His younger brother is a priest. His state has two living cardinals who are personally close to him. He accompanied them to pay their respects and them in the coming conclave and someone who should have no opinion on the matter decides to criticise because of hate, nothing more. Shame

You guys are just sickening as human beings. This man met the pope for at least three times in his lifetime, he is a devout Catholic, he has blood brother as a priest and a blood sister as a reverend sister. Two living cardinals are from his state. He used his personal money to travel to Rome. He has been going to Vatican since he was a governor. What part of his going to Rome is politics for you? You that does not see anything wrong with your president going to to sell your country to Lebanese brothers!

Hatred can really make people go nuts!

Someone went to pay his last respect to his spiritual father and you are calling it unnecessary.
We think everything is politics.
My Aunt's and her husband in Texas are currently in Rome to attend the funeral of the Pope.
Thousands of Roman Catholics faithful from Nigeria and around the world also made the trip to Rome.
Because they are not Celebrities or public figures that is why they are not on the news.
If not for poverty in Nigeria, are most Roman Catholics in Nigeria not supposed to travel to Rome to bid their Pope farewell?
When TB Joshua was buried, so many of his that traveled to Nigeria from other countries of the world to attend the funeral and pay him his last respect was also UNNECESSARY?

The Joke in Nairaland is getting out of hands.

He is overzealous, i have told you......If Obi ever becomes president, he will err on the side of ethnoreligious bias. The pope is an important person. Its breach of protocol for him to go and start taking pictures and flooding the media space.

He is a private citizen and he is usurping the state visit, state response. If he was in Russia, Putin will not tolerate this behavior, even Trump in America will not tolerate this behavior. He needs to learn that there is nothing like office of serial presidential aspirant.

He does these things then tries to play it off.He is like a peacock. Half of what he does is for the camera. Learn to do somethings discreetly. Let people just hear about it. Not carry your own photographer around. People will not take you serious. Thats why they call you a social media candidate.

You definitely have no knowledge about Peter Obi.
The man is a member of St Gregory in the Roman Catholic church. They are the Popes personal guard. So tell me why he will not attend the burial like most of St Gregory. That hip is the highest to any non celebate member of the church.

Nothing like that.

I suspect the OP is Just being religiously BIASED. smiley

If the World Number 1 Islamic leader dies today, If Tinibu travels to Mecca for his burial and stays for 7days, many Muslims will not see anything wrong with it. smiley

I when Pres Goodluck Jonathan knelt down before Pastor Adeboye for prayers,
some Muslims and Christian's like Catholics and Anglicans were not too happy with it.

Most Nigerians have Religion or Church Denomination Bias. undecided

Dat's the Problem of This OP. sad

He is a private citizen, holds no public office, so what's your business where he goes? Would you have said this if it had been Atiku who went to Rome?

You are not aware if he holds any position in the Vatican that required him to attend... So you are assuming and talking from a place of ignorance

Too it's his money and his 100% free time so how it's that a problem to you?

they are not playing bad politics, they are working for what they paid them for. Believe me, with APC in power, 100 years, this country will be backwards because they empower youths that suppose fight for their country to be praising them and pay them peanuts. They really make sure poverty win in this country and use it for their own purpose. It left to sane citizens, which are few to take back the country country from their oppressors. But that can't happen because they are few. So all of us will be using it like that.

Peter Obi was at the front row when Pope John Paul funeral took place many years ago , was at the installation of the Pope Ratzinger that followed . His blood brother is a Catholic priest and two of his sisters are nuns in Catholic Church. Why would he stop something he has been doing for the past more than 20 years now? Would he stop that because of you ? Your opinion is irrelevant to the issue, if you don’t like it stop reading news about Peter Obi to avoid dying from high blood pressure at an early age

So many people have responded well to this OP so there won't be need to add more response. If he cannot make out something meaningful why OBI is in Vatican. Then mine would make him sensible either.
Please, don't use this kind of brain to raise your kids... Na disaster....
