Leaving The Cult: My Epiphany!

Gai, please kindly send an emoji if you can hear me clearly please kindly drop an emoji if you can hear me clearly Gai, please kindly drop an emoji if you can hear me kindly drop an emoji guys if you can hear me Alright great thank you very much A very good evening to you my fellow Nigerians Thank you very much for joining this space I do not take it for granted the time and the energy that you've reserved To be a part of this interesting conversation because I promise you this will be very interesting To begin with special greetings to everyone special greetings to Buwamokaro Jury Awards may never be able to express my gratitude for the kindness the support even the reprimand That I've gotten from different quarters Thank you Anika and the honorable lady who gave me the privilege to speak on their platform yesterday I'm just a regular Nigerian and I'll be honest. I'm deeply humbled by the way most people have reacted I love this morning when someone said in my mentions that oh omar you've been crashing out Well, it's easy to see my volley of tweets as a crash out but they're far from it I posted all those tweets from a cool calm and collected headspace I'd like to observe a moment of silence for an amazing brother One of the pioneers of Twitter spaces prior to the 2023 elections The great Waju Akimanyuels May his gen 2 so continue to rest in peace You played your part Waju And I just just like you told me during our last private conversation before your passing It is disappointing to see What's a movement driven by a shared passion and the enthusiasm of young Nigerians as morphed into They say you will prevail When good people choose to say stay silent For those of you who might be wondering why now Well Patience is a true virtue of every genuine omar you are because as I out as would say For cooking wood, you do The ability to play the long game is a strength that every politically aware person must exit it Contrary to what most of the present day members of the obedient calls may believe I did not join the obedient movement just for the records On this wonderful app that belongs to the great Alan Mosque I was one of the founding members of your movement even before the name of the audience was coined I chose to throw myself in the mix of Nigerian politics despite having a long existing accounts on this platform that was solely Used to follow my favorite football club as now I'll discuss football banter with people from abroad actually just foreigners I will discuss football those were the days of uber social I'm sure anyone who has been on this app for such a long time would remember uber social Then he wasn't just using the twitter app you have to have uber social and it was really good. It was healthy And as the 2023 elections were approaching. I remember in 2022 Myself and a lovely lady called Derry we connected And we decided to start hosting spaces It took a while before we settled on a name for the platform Eventually we came up with people's parliament because we wanted a platform that would give everybody a voice Irrespective of where you belong to You know in the political divide We felt it was important for young Nigerians to be able to lend their voice to the conversation We felt it was important for us to have a politically aware youth Demography because at that time Many of us realized that most young Nigerians were not particularly interested in politics There was a feeling of apathy a lot of people had settled for the fact that well, you know Anybody would win anyway. It was just a selection. It was never really an election What we decided to throw ourselves in the mix Anyone who understands You know all these times that I'm talking about Would remember there was this space that was held at the time where Segalink The great Segalink and the Jardin of Juhard they very heated exchange with Nigerians I can't recall the name of the host of that space but Saddam spoke there and that was how I met Saddam And what is now known as the violin space began. I struggled to remember whether I messaged him or we did But we started hosting spaces. I remember that I missed a number of episodes I think one or two at least stages of the episode of the spaces I think we presented the first and second one together And then I got busy and then I took a break and by the time I got back n6 are joined and what you now know as the violin space began And it was good. Oh, it was really good. We had a great time at the early stages of it And that was how n6 Saddam and Omar became a thing Now the reason for this preamble is not because I want to bore you with small talk But providing the background is extremely important for the discussion we're going to have tonight When this whole thing began, Peter Oby's campaign for the 2023 elections was just about to take off I remember people would come on myself and daring space back then And they would ask also who were supporting or who are you guys throwing your heart in the ring with and all of that There was simmering anger from young Nigerians particularly because of NSARS I mean today is 20th of October so God bless the souls of the departed People also had concerns about the existing political order People were really angry towards the boi government and we just wanted something different And what I would blame on useful exorbitants and a slight dose of political naivety We thought we were being part of a national project We campaigned viciously And during that campaign We definitely made more adversaries than friends One of them is Arle on the cotton for one of the Think you're about first movement I remember I invited him on one of our spaces To have a conversation and he dealt into an uncomfortable part of Nigerian history I'm based on the fact that we had a viewpoint that the project at that time was a pan-nageral project I Did my best to limit him from being able to express himself Arle on the cotton for ice I deeply apologize for the way you were treated that day You do not deserve it because history is very important I'm a student of history myself and I understand that it is impossible for anybody to truly understand The makeup of present in Nigeria You're what people will say If you don't know where you're coming from It's difficult for you to know where you're heading to And of course subsequent events proven and right Because history has actually come to repeat itself They say those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat the same mistakes Well, I guess I didn't learn enough lessons from that And we repeated a number of mistakes But we all failed to were part of a greater good Well, I met some amazing people and we found the background group to coordinate the violin space and provide our own virtual support for a candidate We genuinely liked for different reasons For me, it was the fact that he was younger He seemed approachable and he demonstrated Analy desire to listen to young Nigerians Personally, my conviction was rooted in the fact that It would feel great to have a president who was supported into office by Nigerians And even if he doesn't have to write within four years Well, we would vote him out, that was what we believed Just like Ghanaians would do another working democracies across Africa Over the course of eight months Many things happened Elections came And Ashifajibullah met in the moon The rest is history But having given you this background Over the course of three years, I've observed deeply What the obedient movement has morphed into Sorry, I'm trying to accept my speakers Yes, thank you very much I've observed what the movement has morphed into I've observed how many of the things that I predicted And this is not me trying to sound like a prophet Sometimes, are people, are euro-bath people, they say If you look closely, you see your nose Tehomaddejusiliyarii mo I saw a number of things happening And I realized that this is going in a direction that Wasn't making much sense I realized that in large number of people Within the campaign had Motives that were not particularly pure A large number of them had similar in resentment for people over their ethnicities But of course a large number of them held those beliefs to themselves Because they didn't want to Maybe show their hands too early The campaign was brutal And I played a part in it I played a huge part in And what the obedient movement has become Has become right now I was very tough On most opposition members I was very tough on a large number of people They would come on our spaces Initially started as friendly banter Initially started as You know we just trying to ensure that our voice overshadowed theirs Well with the benefit of hindsight that did not really And that does not really seem like a particularly wise way to go about it But as elections approached Reality started to dawn on me You're within a campaign and you can You can see how things are going You can see the half of that nature At which critical things Were being handled You can see how A large number of important events Were Surely arranged And it was getting To the point where I kept telling myself Like is this election actually winnable But also I mean I have people on this space I hope what somebody is here I'm looking forward to having my dear brother I did you really want me I hope he joins us As soon as possible We're looking at it at the time And I was thinking to myself Do these people really have what it takes to win an election You're looking at Out of my reference and events For instance the day the obidati campaign Was supposed to campaign in the motion state On the morning of that campaign I'm really looking forward to our day You've been here We had an emergency call with a prominent obedient A lady on this platform I mean she's here Madam Isha is who And we started talking about mobilizing For the campaign in the motion state And I realized that This is not good preparation I understand Nigeria to To some extent I mean I'm not the I'm not a perfect person Neither do I have a complete understanding of everything But you know that They say if you prepare to If you fail to prepare You should be prepared to fail And I knew that the chances of winning that election You know Was quite slim But I also relied on the fact that Many people were very angry Young Nigerians believed in the cause of What the PO campaign was about Well Elections came And As you are the volumetric one As far as I'm concerned Whoever gets declared By iNEC Is the one that won the election I don't care how much evidence You claim to have That you cannot bring out If you have any evidence That you won the election Well you might as well just bring it out The truth is Volumetric will won the election And it was declared As the candidate And I'm going to reference something That obedience might bring out Just so you know That I'm not afraid of Whatever you're going to come up with Around the time that the election results Where to be announced I was one of those who were Clamoring for Peter O'Bits will actually lead the protest I mean You know In Nigeria Because of NSAS Whenever people hear the word protest It's almost synonymous to violence And people would be thinking Oh Things are going to go left and all that And I get I get where that fear is coming from NSAS Did a number of many of us And it's totally understandable That people felt nervous That Okay Things might Get Overboard The protest might be hijacked But I'll use the example of Uganda You're wearing muslims And it has been in power for God knows how many years Close to three decades And is that different Opposition members In that country Kizabisij was one of them Before Bobby Wine came To prominence Kizabisij led protest many times It was arrested But it kept going Because of what he believed in And I thought to myself You understand that Young Nigerians are angry So I'll expect you to At least lead a peaceful march As a matter of fact If you are part of the protest I am very confident It will be very difficult for people To hijack that protest Number one Number two Your presence alone Would give it the level of Attention that he deserved Plus the international press Were in Nigeria at the time The Bwari government was on its way out And I could bet my life on it Bwari was not ready to start shooting At Young Nigeria Six months before The end of his tenure It was Bobby just He ran the election in a way That you could tell that It was a game of Let the best man win So I felt like there was an opportunity here For you too Even if you do not win the election If you did not win the election outrightly It is well within your rights As a presidential candidate To dispute the conduct of the elections Of course we understand that the elections were They were flawed in many ways And that is the Nigerian election We are still growing democracy We don't have perfect electoral systems yet Countries like America and the United Kingdom They can hold an election tomorrow But our own election Take years for us to prepare for But it didn't do that And I started hearing stuff Like oh Focus on the judiciary That was when I started laughing at the affoli Like Oh, Nega Zua Absolutely joke as him Because if you believe That the judiciary is going to hand an election to you Then you don't really know what you're doing You don't know what you're doing Because In the history of Nigeria In 1999 There has never been a president That has been removed By the judiciary All that has been appointed By the judiciary It has never happened The moment I make declares you As the winner of an election Everybody can go to sleep It's over And once the elections were over I used to tell them on spaces back then There are people on this space On this space right now Oh, we testified to the fact I used to tell them that Look once these elections are over I may I'll go back to my private life It's not that deep At the end of the day We tried our best We did what we could do Bola Maitreya was one of the elections We can only pray That his governments Is kind and benevolent Enough to put the interest of Nigerians At the forefront of its programs And in all honesty I also saw one thing Because it's very important for you To put things in perspective Especially when you feel like Planeas failed Okay, so what's Plambi I was thinking to myself We got six million votes That is That is very strong for a first time Presidential campaign Six million votes is no joke In a country like Nigeria You can harness that You can build the Labour Party Into a stronger force And we return in four years The four years is back now, isn't it? We are back at that for four years You don't reach Generally elections would hold So we can all maintain the order in this movement We can try and coordinate better We'd lend from the mistakes we made in 2023 In 2023 The Labour Party barely had polling agents And anybody here can fact check me On the morning of the 2023 elections I remember placing a call To the Labour Party chairman In legal state Pastor Diwakong She can dispute it if she thinks You know if I'm lying And I called her and I was like What's going on? And I realised there was no situation on the room Bro That was very realistic Started to download me like I've stuck my neck out for these people For eight months of my life I don't even have a bloody situation on the room on the election day How serious am I supposed to take you Okay fine Yes, you don't have a situation on the room It's understandable That's fine We can still re-strategize And we'll find our way back Most of the obedience One of them said in my mentions today That oh you disappeared before elections And I laughed at him Because I was thinking to myself On the day of elections On my previous accounts Who were you guys sending your sheets From the polling units Two Or sorrow you can fact check me They were sending me slips From the polling unit And I was posting it on my Twitter account So that we can have some fun Oh my Oh my You did take those lunatic serious Oh yes Sorry Oh my So that you can have a deal Sorry What was that Please I'm sorry What was I did I don't want to take you Yes Yes Yes, so done Yes please Everyone is going to speak Don't worry This is not an echo chamber I'm not trying to give you guys any long speech I just need to give you a background to this whole thing And you know I I thought to myself like All right It's fine Even if we We don't win elections this time around We can re-strategize And then I started hearing stuff like I remember I was getting private calls from Setting obedience All that ones actually Not the young ones All that ones I don't want to mention their names People that we used to coordinate in the background And they were calling and they were like Now you know That elections are Well The presidential election We need to focus on Legos And back GRV And I'm like I'm going to minute Okay Big ups to GRV Is a very brilliant individual in his own right And I have so much respect for him But It doesn't have any Public record of governance So even if I'm going to campaign for somebody At least this should be someone that I believe In his ability to get the job done And honestly I was asking myself I remember I used to have this conversation I can't wait for your day to be here I remember having a conversation with our region I was telling him that GRV Governor of Legos Are you going to govern people like Muda Ashiru or Basal Like are you having a laugh I really They will smoke you in no time I'm sorry But I just don't see you doing it At the end of the day It's about what I believe in Isn't it And then the rhetoric started to become more dangerous It started to become louder Oh We have to we have to do everything possible I remember when the Labour Party campaign Train came to Legos The National Youth Leader of the Labour Party Prince Kennedy are a hano To There's a video of him on the internet This is not something I'm making up It's on fact check me Where he was screaming on the streets MCO Luama Show yourself You know Come out Let's see you Hano's thinking to myself Like really bro You just want to put young people in danger Like Only in your came for located banning Like you don't use a small hand to receive A bigger bit and like you know You can't be that stupid At the end of the day Decoram and wisdom is very important In the way that you approach things And these people were loud They were boy stuars So we're going to do this We're going to do that Okay, election don't finish We are lead protest Senior Man of the lead protest All right How about you, the other people Are you going to coordinate Nobody was willing to do that Then I just I would you into my private life And I just kept on doing my thing At the time I wasn't very active on Twitter I think I was still hosting people's Valencian and so on and so on But I wasn't really interested in everything And to be honest The election really really deflated me I have a friend on this space Olu me de Is a friend that I've known for years That I respect so much Is a brother to me actually Is a proper APC guy Hard call APC guy And this is where Politics in Europe, Ireland Is very different from What do you people understand As politics on national level As a young Nigerian in 1999 When I was living in the badong With my family, but then we had neighbors When Olufala was Contesting as the candidate of the Alliance for the democracy And Olufala was contested as the candidate of the PDP I remember both of our neighbors Voted for separate people The doctor living close to us voted for Olufala The other person Our neighbor at the time Was the minister for justice in our state I remember He voted for Olufala And in the evening at the end of voting They came together They sat down They bantered They had a laugh And people moved on That's the kind of politics that our voters Been used to Elections will come Towards elections There will be banter People would talk And all of that When elections are done People will go back to being friends Life will continue And then we hope for Governors Good Governors ​Por 2019 enterities, I got the cause of thosebecause of these.... ​But no. ​This did not go down like that. ​Know after 2023 Presidential elections was when the rhetoric started becoming more dangerous行 by people like this. ​And I am looking at my Luosle weekies and I am looking at the handles. ​And I am pointing to these things like... ​Eh nae Lu, promoted, shades of drapeandia, gash Palestinian� ​ videoligけてms Kate at the ceux of this world were advised. Ayo, can you mute yourself? Ayo, and I was looking at the like, I'm gonna mimic these were guys that were on the same side. What is going on? Oh, you're a bad people. You see them in the comments section. So, some of the posts, something that will get you about you. Or be there to tell you that they are not the ones that are posting those things. But the stuff will have like 2000 likes. It will have like 1000 tweets. And I'm like, is there a troll farm where this thing is coming from? Or is there a troll that we are seeing that are reposting and retweeting these things? But if you talk to them, I remember I was having private conversations with certain people and I was like, what's going on? I don't get it anymore. They'll be like, no. And that's why I referenced the late Waju, AKA Manuel's. The last conversation I had with Waju, it was myself, Ayo, DG, and Waju on the phone that day. It was a workshop conversation. And I was like, Waju, well, you're the buzz. aux a Slovenian dividend co-ordinió in the southwest. We crowd-funded for himself, fopine to entered the hinterlands of our state. Places like Banki-Barapáë, Murl-Nlate. Places that it would normally not venture into as a young Nigerian was this business in other places just to go and convert for votes. wou'd arranged all of this incentives all these voting incentives, wou'd now our politics works in Nigerian. and will go there, distribute to people, have conversations growth change new connections, …and I was telling her, what is happening? It just feels like there's an ethnic undertone to this whole thing. I'm talking about the ethnic undertone. When we started those same spaces, I remember there are certain handles, like all those IPO behind those, they would try and come on our spaces back then. And this is where I'm going to give Saddam a credit. I'm not going to lie. I don't, I'm not going to start discrediting someone because maybe we're not on the same side. Saddam was very intentional about not giving IPOB guys a platform. As a matter of fact, I give them more room to talk on people's polyamins. Dan Saddam would give them on violin space. And this is the gospel true. Saddam would shot them out. He was always like, guys, these guys, I don't really buy them. They are disciples of the Cano, they've perpetrated a lot of violinists and the Saudis. They don't know what they're doing and all of that. But then as the obedient movement started to grow, you realize that most of these people with IPOB flags started to switch their flags to LP flags. The common spaces, you see them, they are sweet, they know they switch. And maybe they did that because they felt like would give them a platform to speak. And they started talking. And you would hear them sometimes, they would try to delve into the whole sessionist agenda who shot them down. But immediately the election ended, the 2023 presidential elections ended. It was almost like the same people that I called obedience started to become more sympathetic. So these same IPOB guys that were shot down at that time, they gained more prominence. And the conversation was no longer about the issues. It was about, oh, you know what people are these? Oh, this country is that. Nigeria is never going to be okay. And unlike Cala, you are. Bibli, so quick, but roughly Jerusalem, we are not too fed in my share. They wait for you up for now, which one come be saying that there is no going to be this. I still know people living in Nigeria. He's not really that deep. If we don't win this election, I know that one will come now. And then legal selections happened. Obviously, there was an element of violence in that legal selections. And this is not, this is not a one time occurrence. The election that brought President Yara into office, Yara Dua himself admitted that he was one of the most. Dubia selection that had ever happened in this country. So it's not a case of. Oh, this is a one time thing. This is something that we've never seen before. Well, I really, really have an interuble or only I don't get it. And then the rhetoric just became darker. And in that conversation with Waju and Ayodhiji, I would you. I remember what you was like guy. I don't know. I feel like I've played a part in something that might blow up into a very nasty situation. And I'm like, why do you feel like this? So this because I just feel like this movement has been hijacked by some people. At that time, I shared the same sentiment. I remember even Jimmy who is still a part of the Bibli movement now. I remember telling Jimmy in a private conversation that Jimmy there is a lately conduct tone to this campaign. There's something that is not right about the way things are going. But obviously I was almost like a lone wolf. And for me, I'm very opinionated and I believe in what I believe in. If I believe in something and I no longer believe in it, our work life is not that deep. That's how I was raised. You have to have a voice of your own. So the whole thing kept going on. One day, this is where the tweets that Osaru screenshoted some days ago would be very. It will come in really handy. Osaru, I don't know if you can put that tweet on the jumbo. Trump, please. And I posted that tweet. I use the picture of Michelle Alozi. Please kindly put it on the jumbo. Trump out like to read it. I use the picture of Michelle Alozi in a giant footballer. I don't know if you remember the female world cup that they played where somebody stamped on Michelle Alozi's back. And she was laying on the floor and she just raised her hands like, can you see? And that picture obviously went viral. And I use that picture. And I also, Osaru, please, I would like to see that tweet. I really want to read it out. It's very important just to provide context before I start bringing it speakers to speak. And I was like, come. One day is, I think that day was Wale Showing Cup. Wale Showing Cup called the obedient movement fascist. And you see that fascist terminology. It has become very relevant because I'll say reasons why I consider it very relevant. In fact, before Wale Show was posting the tweet on the jumbo. Just be a minute. The only person in the history of world politics that has carefully sidesteped internal party politics to find his way into power. Is a man or was a man in 1930s, Germany, a certain adult Hitler. Humanity sides step every form of internal party politics, from the zone Nazi party. And somehow scheme this way into becoming the president of Germany, of course, we all know how that ended. I'm not saying there are similarities, but look at the rhetoric for the love of God. Just look at the rhetoric. Look at the things we're hearing. Look at the things these people have been saying. And it went on and on. And I'm like, where does this stop? I remember post elections. A lot of you APC members, you're bashing Akim now. Well, deservedly so because you felt like, okay, maybe he played on the other side. But Akim was one of the prominent voices. Even within the obedient movement at that time. And myself and Akim are not close. Honestly, he probably doesn't even know who I am. You remember, I'm sure he remembers him from the obedient movement. But I remember Akim was always like guys. Even when we were hosting spaces, Akim will be like, oh, my, let's turn down the rhetoric. Let's just let's be civil. Let's have conversations. Even was the name of his friend, the other one that lives in the UK, Uluomar Debbie, that one we had like a proper, yeah, proper exchange. I can't see from the jumbo troen or sorrow. I think your post-Teddy Tan is gone now. You know, I can't see it yet. And we had this really tight exchange at the time. Akim was always very vocal about how we should chill out. And even post-election. I can't keep on speaking about we can keep things civil. It doesn't have to become this dark. Yes, not that the tweet is there. Let me read it. So I said that day. So it was the day Wale Shuringka described the obedient movement as fascist. I think it was the day after, of course, the usual reaction. They started dragging him. Wale Shuringka is crap. Akibir has a better legend, a better legacy than him. Akibir is the Wale Shuringka is this. And I'm like the same Wale Shuringka that went to prison during the D'Afrale World because he was trying to play a mediter between both sides. It's the one that we're now dragging by his balls. What's going on here? So I remember I posted this tweet. I said, imagine coming online every day to see your roots being denigrated. Your culture being ridiculed. Your school has been dragged by their balls. And your kings being crucified. And on the other hand, you're outside you photon. Yet you have to act like it's cool. So you're not libel the bigot or more. They almost took my life. Honestly, that's probably the most viral tweet I've ever posted on this app. The comments, the quotes, they were. You, it's a proper lesson in gas lighting. Premium gas lighting. Thank you very much. I hope you're happy. You're here. It was a proper lesson in gas lighting. They said a lot of things. I'm not making it up. If as a matter of fact, if I still had that account, you can go and find it. If it was like if I could access the account of the vacancies, honestly, like the started saying on sorts of things, your kings are thieves, your pastors are these. You really just, it doesn't. I'm like, bro, the same Euroba people on the spaces that I even I hosted at the time. They were old women. Old Euroba women who donated their hard earned money into this movement. Millions of NARA people that I know is not like somebody told me donations that some of us knew where they went to. And you start dragging everybody. Euroba girls are trash. Oh, they were dirty. I'm like, I have sister zoo. I have cousins that are Euroba people. And I'm supposed to just chill like this is all good. And that was it for me. And I'm like, you know what? I can't be a part of this. At the end of the day, it is what it is. If you like, knock your head for a while. The truth is, as you are, you will admit, you never lost an elections in 1992. If you're a realistic Nigerian political observer, you know for sure that there is no way it's seven one term in office. It will save two times. That is the reality of things. Yesterday when I was on that space and some APC members were like, oh, you know, as you are, I'm like, oh, you think you can come to this side and I started laughing because I'm thinking, what am I going to bring to the APC now that Bulletin Noboot was not ready? Have is the greatest political mind. They don't like, I mean, the word strategy is not in badly abused. Is the greatest political mind alive in Nigeria right now? You can see it in the makeup of the country. This is the first time you're seeing opposition groups aligned for president. This is the first time you're seeing GovNos fall in line. This is the first time you're seeing politicians from different sides of the divide. Pay, you know, allegiance to one man. And it is what it is. At the end of the day, if it manages to pull the country in the right direction, I'll be happy. I'm not praying that the country should fall apart because my candidate did no win election. It's okay if my candidate does no win. As long as the country is moving in the right direction, it's okay. And I know people who say, the whole the country is bad, of course, so we dance. They have their own extraordinary view of Nigeria as far as their concern Nigeria right now is bad. Everybody is suffering. Things are terrible. The average man is these. All of that is that. But at the end of the day, let's be realistic. Which president would come into power right now? And would not have to go through hard years of reforms to get Nigeria to where we want it to be. Things are badly damaged. I'm sure even president in the room himself, when he got into office, I'm sure he must have been amazed that the level of damage that the body government did. That is the reality because the body government was in mess. We all know that. That is not rocket science. And there are so many metrics that you can use right now to to assess the tenor book government. As matter of fact, I was telling someone in the private conversations data. They keep saying, oh, I'm supporting tenor book and all of that. And I laughed to myself like, okay, let's even assume that I'm supporting him. We say we want a president that would fight corruption. The first corruption case on that is administration was that of beta. Where is beta. You know, she's been kicked out of government straight off. She's gone. The other day when the post our road conversation was happening. And they were talking about, oh, how is going to go through the east, west road and all of that. Dave, you might did a 360 the next day. The government released the statement. I would like to believe that is an example of a government that listens to the pulse of the people. I mean, so. And as a Europe of person, I would like to believe that this serves my interest. State policy is happening right in front of our faces. Militia force headed by Sunday go has been approved by. Amotea has been approved by Southwestern governors. Sunday go as the zone militia that is trying to tackle the invasion of all of these marauders into a region. Me too, belt and that I've spoken to between yesterday and today are saying that they are region. Feel a certain level of representation on that is administration. Okay. Then who am I to say that the country should follow apart simply because my candidate did not win. But anyways, all of these sounds I can make him brief for a piece. So let's keep that. Get into the crocs of the problem. I've had this Twitter account for a while. I gave it a different name. I was always just observing our popping every now and then as you can see you can't go on the account. You see that it was created in 2023. I would go and I'll be seeing all sorts of things. All sorts of vicious attacks on Europe people. You are voting to new. You are supporting to new because it's your back. You are doing this because it's almost okay. You know what maybe it is time to undo what I played a part in. And then I started posting those tweets. I went on that girl's space. I joined the conversation and the space rather and the honorable yesterday. I can't I'm still I'm still trying to find a name. And then this morning I woke up while I was walking and I was thinking to myself like, you know what? Maybe I need to let people understand where I'm coming from because most of these obedience, they'll come into your mentions. Oh screw you. We don't care about you. The movement is bigger. Nobody's bigger than the movement and I'll lock my head off like nobody's bigger than the movement. You you guys are a bunch of freaking jokes. A bunch of freaking jokes and this is what I'm going to get a little vicious. Look at the quality of people in your movement right now. And look at the quality of people you used to have. As one of the tweets I posted today, you went from brilliant minds like Chris and Wacobe are the Ricardo, so Nana Kazari brilliant people that would represent you in media spaces to run the pitas and goodness gracious me. The pitas are mama pee. You see videos of them dancing in more of Jesus Christ. Anyways, as I was posting those tweets, then I saw certain people. Some Eurobars who were posting on the tweets out the voted pit out be and how the the rhetoric after the election affected them. And now they started to feel a sense of disappointment. I'm like, okay, let's host the space so that these people can get the chance to talk. And please if you're one of those who voted PO in 2023 and you've seen this was because right now when you speak, obedience will make you seem like, oh, you've been activated. APC said they're going to be activated. 4000 leaders are influencers. First, I'm not an influencer. As a two days ago, this account at less than 50 followers. So what actual fork are you talking about? At the end of the day, I challenge anybody who is a member of APC here to come out and say if they've ever had any contacts with me, or if I've ever made any, you know, any any gesture towards them to be a part of the APC. And maybe I'll get a gig or something like that. I think what these people do not understand, you struggle with the reality of the fact that your behavior is enough to alienate people. Your behavior is enough recruitment strategy for the APC. They don't actually need to do anything. Like your silly behavior is more than enough. And then you go and open your mouth and say, oh, you're not doing Peter or be a favor. Hell yeah, I'm doing me favor. What do you mean? Is the politician who is aspiring for public coffees and we converse support for him over the course of eight months? People donated their money. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean we're not doing me favor? As a matter of fact, if you tell us that is the best thing since sliced bread, all right. Fine. That's totally understandable. All the rhetoric that you guys are when you come to me, are you saying stuff like, oh, are you not suffering? Is the new book don't worry. Support your drug lord nigga. I cooked most of this rhetoric for you guys. Bring the corner out of your pocket. I already did. I was probably I was probably the first person to use that line against anybody that you have caught in your pockets. Go and bring it out. So now those rhetoric now on the use against me. Do I sound like a joke to you or do I sound like someone who doesn't understand it? You know what people say? I tell you, I'm going to push in here. I know where you guys are coming from. Before many of you joined the obedient movement, I've been there. So you're not going to come now and you start telling us what we already knew. Other political parties are campaigning. A D C, they are campaigning. They are doing grassroots mobilization. APC, they are doing all of their stuff. You are here on Twitter just insulting the living day light out of anybody who deals to speak different. And your telling me is not a cult. The first day I did to post a tweet that did not go along with your group think you descended on me. And I'm not the first. There are so many victims of your viciousness. And you continue to tell us that, oh, don't worry. It's for good governance. And then you have all these tricks that you use. It's almost like only the 43 formation. So what they will do is one of them will post a very bigoted tweet towards maybe your bar people or any other ethnicity. And then you react to it and they will tell you, oh, ignore them focus on the bigger picture. We have a country to save by Leo, Jeff Ryan, because I don't get it. You have a country to save, but I should sit down there and listen to you as you denigrate every possible ethnicity in the country. You have a country to save and then your comeback. Their next line is, oh, just before an obedience, they are just APC supporters who have who are trying to make it a little bad. You're crazy. Like you are actually crazy. The level of gas lighting and emotional blackmail. It should be dead and buried by now. If you really don't have anything to campaign with just shut the fuck up, man. Like shut your traps because you're talking nonsense. It has become obvious that your ethnic agenda, your ethnic bias as completely overshadowed enemy nationalistic tone that the obedient campaign might have had at its initial stages. So what are you talking about? And I'm sure you're going to go into your coven and all your spaces tonight. And everybody goes, there's all we know him. He's a relevant. Is this please what gave you the impression that I'm looking for your relevance? I had a 10,000 followers on the previous account. I deleted it. It is not retrievable. On the people's parliament account, I had up to 2,000 followers. I deleted it. Because I don't want to be followed by 18,000 mad people. I'm not a member of a cult. I didn't join secret cults in uni. Why should I be an adult and I'll be a member of a cult? Why would I be an adult if the father of a child and I will not be able to speak my mind? What level of nonsense is that like what do you think? What do you take people for? People donated their hard earned money. People put their time and resources. I recorded three separate jingles for Peter will be using my voice. I spent 8 months of my life holding spaces three days a week. And you come here and tell me, nobody's bigger than the movement. Nobody's bigger than the movement. Mr. A don't go. Nobody's bigger than the movement. Mr. B don't go. He don't know. He doesn't work or be a scorn. A lot of people are gone. I don't want to be mentioning names yet. The brilliant minds that made your movements. They're stepping out one after the other. And one came into my comments when he was like, you can't say I went from that to RMK. The same that you have insulted, ,"There was nothing you did not call him on this, if I have the time I will dig up your tweet." I just don't have the time. So what are you people saying? You think you are dealing with fools. You think your strategy of emotional Blackmail will win you an election in 2026. For the love of God, this is not politics. This is bitterness disguised... carefully disguised as a clamor for good governance. And yes, you are the ones who know good governance better than everybody. The same region that voted that t t a a some of the some of the worst governor since 1999. But no, we do not vote them. They read the elections. Please, those elections that they read. Now votes. Now Twitter votes. They take they take gada they vote. Like what the fuck do you think you're talking to? Your gas lighting your emotions. Gala amot. Oh my gala amot. Change your name. Like there are videos of a vote buying within your region. And I did my best not to make nothing about this whole campaign tribalistic. But at the end of the day, I guess my naivety caught up with me. Niger is tribalistic by default. Make everybody good defending a box. It's in Amir Rubamman. A Rubamman is an office. I don't care what you think. And I honestly do not care. Heaven bears me witness. If he serves eight years and Niger progress is so beat, he would even serve eight years. All this one with the top four. And I'm plenty talk. It will serve eight years. That everybody on this space, every realistic human being on this space knows for sure that Tinu Buu will serve eight years. The greatest chance. Now, this is another very pregnant fact that I need to point out. The greatest chance for your position to be united in this country. Your candidate has truncated it. Your candidate waited for the ADC to be completely formed. And then he decided to bring your bunch of psycho fans into it. You guys got here. And you started demanding for the ticket to be handed to him on a platter. The same thing he did in the PDP. He avoided primaries. Went to LP to get the tickets. After I got the ticket from LP, it couldn't like out the freaking fork. Can you not build a liberal party? Bola Metinubu held on to Alliance for Democracy. Some of us, we were not, we're not political. We like it's not like we started following politics yesterday. Bola Metinubu held on to the Alliance for Democracy from 1999. Despite federal might being viciously against him. Obas Nguyen is one of the most, one of the top first presidents you can ever go against. Bola Metinubu stood against him. He held on to that AD structure. He held on to Legos in a political sense. Money to entrench himself and entrench his political base and spread that tentacle across the country. ACAPC, Alliance for Democracy, metamorphosed things to so many forms. I think at some point it was ACN. At some point it became, I think I don't know maybe even AC. No, but it was once the presidential candidates. This month took the back seat. Many times when he could have put himself forward. That is leadership. I'm very sorry. No matter how much, as a matter of fact, screw it, I'm not sorry. I'm not a Chris. It took the back seat and decided to play the long game. Even when it did not seem comfortable, it played the long game. It made an alliance with the Guari by CPC and they formed the APC. Playing the long game. I mean, when I go, nobody knows whether tomorrow is guaranteed. Damand waited 80 years. It could have died in the course of 80 years. That is patience. That is political strategy. For 80 years, your man could not even fight the likes of a bio-mirrag ban B, a ragui and slim inside Libopati. At some points, they turned everything upside down on him. There are pieces that I wrote on my medium. There's one on my medium channel called The Rock and the Barbell Tower, where I wrote about how this guy is struggling to integrate the obedient movement into the Libopati. And things that I believe should have been done to actually give that Libopati a footing. No, that did not happen. Instead, allow your switch to, oh, don't worry. When the opposition is formed, we are going to join a DC set of their own structure with a tick-quad, the forefront of it. People started coming together and then you stepped into the party and now you are demanding for a ticket that, oh, it will be or nothing. Do you really think people are stupid? Like, do you actually take everybody for a fool? Like really? Why are you so scared of party primaries? I mean, if you're so popular, why can't you not go through a primary intellectual electoral process in the democracy? Why? I don't get it. I am struggling to. ahti. A.D.C. came. I was observing all these things on Twitter. This people will cross anybody in A.D.C. Oh, one support you are tickling peace. It will be on nothing. I am letting you continue. Well, I have news for you. You know who is about to continue. How about that? How about that? Now, the interesting part is you left the A.D.C. again. And then popped into an D.C. Let me tell you one very interesting thing that happened some days ago. Simida Kolo, when he posted a video as a reaction down on the video, I don't even know why I was doing Shalai for you people. Because honestly, now, personally, I don't have the coin explaining itself. I don't... You've insulted somebody's wife. Somebody's wife, too. Something she went through as a minor. And he still decided to do a video and come and be explaining to you a bunch of clowns on the internet. And of course, I expected your initial regular reaction. You went into his comments and started insulting him. But why was that guy? He was a little bit shy. He was like, I don't know. He was like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But why was that guy? In that video, that guy was mentioning the political parties. And he couldn't even remember the name of the NDC. He couldn't remember. And I'm telling you, that is the reality of a large amount of Nigerians. They don't even know what party your candidate belongs to. Is the other Marata of Nigerian politics? Anybody who follows football knows our Marata. He's played for the Diculous amount of football clubs. You don't even know where he plays for right now. Your candidate is the other Marata of Nigerian politics. He has pop from one party to the other to the other. Without anybody else? He doesnt trust it because nobody knows who. Today is IAPA, tomorrow was EFCC goiffy and undould be the fire not moins Instituts East EE of pes t tu Japanese proverb that says if you get on the wrong train, the long guy takes you to get off. I mean, I don't know how then the complete term. People can see that you can't see that. Those no even seem to know what is doing politically. People can see that you guys are insulting, delivering the light out of anybody. You don't appreciate the efforts of people that contributed money. You don't appreciate the efforts of people that contributed their time, their resources to your like nothing. Nobody is sacred. You can insult anybody no matter how much they've done for you. There's a specific lady that was a prominent member of the U of B. D. Attic campaign in 2023 in the Kato. And I'm sure that lady didn't know I was even observing things. There was a time when I can't remember what she said. The amount of personal attacks in this girl's comment section, this woman's comment section, next year and apologies. And her thinking to myself like, is it this deep? Like how do you have no respect for people's efforts? No matter how much people contribute to you people, no matter how much effort people give to you guys. One, I did you, you mean me is here. There was a time this guy called me with his team. I remember proud to 2023 elections they went for a campaign and maybe they was, I don't even know whether they go stranded somewhere or they were taking a break. And it was a video call and I saw the team. I was looking at it and thinking, these people are not even getting paid for what they are doing. Going to I did this comment today. You see insults upon insults upon insults. How? How does that make any logical sense? How? How does it make any logical sense? And then your candidates would still go around and Jesus Christ from consumption to production, from consumption to copyright, money, money to parkour. It just goes on and just says also you start to sound like a broken record. You at the end of the day, the things that you're actually supposed to be doing, you're not doing it. You just one day you're on tick tock. The next day you're on, you want to do, they want to do, you just to pelake him out and say, he wants to have a stream with him. And I'm like, and you're expecting that people who are serious about their political future are not going to step out like seriously. Now just don't take hold them. Do you think they are stupid or you think they don't know what they are doing? People made enemies because of you people. People alienated family and friends. My friend who do media on display from I blocked him right after 23 elections. I blog, I had to apologize to that guy. That I read on the cacán for guy. Did you level of disrespect? I showed that guy on my space or my space is back then. I had to apologize to him publicly today. People did all of that for you. And now it comes for nothing. The moment anybody has a different opinion, they have con in their pocket. And you cannot, the level of self awareness is, it's scary. Because you can't even see the fact that people don't need to be paid by the APC for them to get tired of your bullshit and just walk away from you. You can't come to terms with that. It's almost like you're struggling with that reality. People are legit tired of your rubbish. People are so easy. A lot of people will be wondering, oh, sorrow used to be an obedient. These people call the above of being in a homosexual. I understand that you guys may not have traditional rulers in your region that you revert. But that's not the same across the French cultures. The non-tenants revert their emiers. You revert their kings. They adore people revert their kings. You don't just go around and say because your own culture is like this. You won't knew Nigeria. You are fighting for good governance. I said in a game really, there's a urbat proverb that says Coperny to atoni. Coperny to atoni. Coperny to atoni, cowerny to malumilane. I said, you're all alone. January is almost here. You see that 6 million votes you've got. I want you to recreate the recreated this time around. Thank you very much. I originally, please go. Oh my goodness. What a moon", oh my goodness. What a moon. I'm a hodigui hino. Yes, I'm a hodigui hino. How about I end? I sincerely do not know where to start from. Because I mean, I can keep hearing that I'm going to log. I can definitely not get tired of it. It is well. Okay, so let me just start and give my sunscreen. Alright, now, so. Oh my, I've already said it in old notes. Now, but I like to say this was that my own shots know monologue on this. The first time I voted in 90, I was 27 and I voted for Yara Duan. I like giving this band rally's view. Because it's very important for a lot of first time voters, very those who join politics in 23 to know that when it comes to the next election, we are no means. Now, I voted for Yara Duan in 27. In 2011, I voted for Yara Duan. In 2015, I voted for Duan. In 2019, I voted for Attitude. In 2023, I voted for Peter O.B. So as a Yara Duan band, I have not been able to add the opportunity or the privilege or the thoughts of voting in February. So I think I am in the best position to, I mean, to make claim of the fact that when it comes to making political decisions, void of the usual ethnic coloration, I think I have been able to at least withstand this to a like extent. Now, but I didn't say that. You see, one of the mistakes, because I don't want to go into some of the things that I want to repeat some of the things that I'm actually, you know, said. Now, one of the mistakes, you owe lots of people, especially this would be the interest. Right? Those ones that are caught, there are caught in that particular group. I don't want to blanket everybody there because I want to believe that I took categories of people or three categories of people in that group right now. We have people who are genuinely, you know, they have this natural, you know, hatred and dislike for APC, which I actually do. So let me just really say that. All right, and I still maintain that even till now. So I'm not saying this as somebody who has any form of, you know, affiliation or affinity for APC. All right, but that does not in any way mean that I would now, you know, I will feel less a urban man because of the fact that I dislike APC as a party. For goodness sake, in the entire region of Southwest, we have different political parties doing whatever it is that they know how to do. We have a code in options that we have, you know, APMPDP in all your state, we have the APC doing that in everywhere. So in any case, there's no point in trying to like make it look like that when you are APC means Southwest for goodness sake. Two weeks ago, there was a, you know, in look at the election and the state, right? And the entire seat was one by APC. Okay, so let's just address. I mean, let's just know your set you down. Now, but what is where I think I need to just know share it. No, a little bit of my own, I should like my own pain. You see, ladies and gentlemen, I keep saying it. I keep saying this way is our humanity because I think that something has been missing since 2023. And that is the fact that people have actually confused their anger. Southwest, they are emotions and they are desire for a better Nigeria, not a good Nigeria or for this Bushy Google governance, but a better Nigeria for bitterness, which craftness. And they've not been able to know differentiate between the two. Therefore, they think that in their, in their own wisdom or desire for a better Nigeria, there's nothing that they cannot destroy along the way. Right? Now, of course, I need to go back to the things that I mean my own busseller. Oh, I already jealous for a second. I'm can still hear him. Oh, man, it's real. Yeah, your back all the way now. Please go ahead. It looks like I did just getting a call.
