It is now clear that the once laudable Obidient Movement has now been hijacked by hate mongers, violence merchants and seditious hardliners. Those who called it 2 years ago and people like me disagreed with are right now, even if they were not right then. They probably foresaw what the movement will become in the hands of hate filled triballists who see nothing good in their country but only interested in destructive criticism 24/7.
I genuinely feel for the few decent people remaining in the Obidient movement who genuinely wish nigeria well, and who sincerely continue fight for progress through better leaders. I salute them and continue to respect them because fact remains that Nigeria does need an overhaul of its leadership in many areas.
Unfortunately I can no longer pretend that the Obidient movement has not become a Cult of Hate in the hands of the vocal and powerful minority. It has and what a shame I have always believed that the Anger of youths is a GOOD thing since youthful anger often leads to progress in a country but what we are dealing with here is no longer just youth anger or legitimate dissatisfaction with the status quo but a situation where some tribalistic retards who think they can force, harangue and intimidate everyone to their own point of view now control the Obidient narrative.
Democracy does not work like tat and you can’t force anyone to your point of view by being obnoxious, toxic, intimidating, abusive and generally being gross and proud of it too So, while I will not tarnish the whole movement out of respect for some serious human beings still identifying with it, I will start calling our the hateful tribalistic wolves hiding in sheep clothing pretending they want a better govt when all they were after is the destruction of the nation.
This is even more urgent since it appears to me that Peter Obi himself who inspired the movement in the first place remain helpless in the hate filled grasp of this few but very vocal elements in the Obidient movement.
Watch out for my upcoming book on “THE TRIBAL HIJACK OF THE OBIDIENT MOVEMENT – How Tribal Hate Mongers Turned A Great Movement Into A Cult Of Hate” I won’t even sell it so you don’t accuse me of trying to cash out on anything.
I am not afraid of being dragged and trolled by this jobless elements. This insidious evil MUST be confronted . I am not APC or PDP or Labor. I am only on the side of Nigeria and Nigeria won’t do well if these clowns are not exposed or God forbid allowed to get near the seat of power, regardless of who wins! So bring it on
