All hands should be on deck to keep Nigeria one and stable.

A political handshake from the South to the North should be encouraged.

God bless Nigeria and Nigerians 🤗❤👍

Why didn't these intellectuals you are talking about raise their voices when people were being chased and killed not to vote in Lagos? Somebody was stabbed in the face, while some others lost their lives. Heck, many people were disenfranchised from voting because they came from a particular region of the country. Did you see Soyinka condemn all these? No you people won't see all these. But when Obidients talk they are termed toxic and dangerous. Stop using the word "intellectual" to support people who support oppression. The professors that connived with political leaders to rig elections, are they also not intellectuals? Make una rest abeg!!

Offpointng:
When I say these clans really cannot do or make significant progress without the SW and Yorubas, they do come for my head. I thought they said Yorubas are betrayals and tribalistic?? Why has Obi been moving from one Yoruba elder's house to the other? What happened to all the Onowu's court in the SE? why is he not visiting any of them?? Are they so Inconsiquential??

Pls we urgently need answers

My post is for intelligent Nigerians who are smart enough to distinguish between persons who have the will power to make the country great and those whose only interest is to enlarge their estate through suppressive, subversive and criminal means

Benwallt:
Obi is the most vile and destructive political dingbat in the history of Nigeria politics. If I were Soyinka I would have hired a very muscular bodyguard that would help me slam the door in his face.

Gbogbowa:
now you know achebe daughter pls show us shoyinka son or daughter that can stand chima, children of hate

Y0urUncle:


Obi is only doing that to foster national unity and oneness, not because you guys are relevant.

Any political group that wants to drive change of political order in a democracy MUST tolerate contrary opinions, voices of dissent and acts of opposition.

The current Nigeria democracy is no doubt benefiting from highly active and youthfully vociferous opposition that Obi-dients provide. However, their lack of tolerance to slight deviation of opinions is TOXIC and DANGEROUS.

This negative attitude will always be RESISTED by every true intellectual. The reason is very simple: intellectualism and flow/exchange of ideas flourish when every shade of opinion is heard. Intellectual abhor herd mentality.

So when intellectuals like Prof Soyinka, Prof. Soludo and others like them stoutly detest and vehemently counter Obi-dients and their lack of tolerance, you will appreciate where they are coming from.

Change of tactics needed and I am happy Peter Obi himself is leading the way.

Most detribalised and most presidential Nigerian alive today.

The man who single handedly killed money politics in Nigeria, he gave Nigerians hope, he made us realise that it's Possible.

If Nigeria miss Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed, it won't recover in the the next 20 years.

What an elder can see while sitting down, a juvenile won't see even if standing on a baobab tree.

His quietness is not to expose chimamanda's foolishness. He can't join issues with a girl that is not even old enough to be his granddaughter. There is wisdom in silence. It speaks volume. It is not a sign of cowardice. You can see that Chimamanda quick ran to romance the prof. in a picture some days after the interview.

Nice, he's building new bridges of love and unity.

But I think there's something fundamentally wrong with Nigeria, good people with good intentions are not given the chance, I don't know why

Stop been a bigot and a demented tribalistic human and reason with your brain. Everything is not about Yoruba or Igbo. It’s about truth and justice and fairness in the world. Stand by it and stop deceiving your generation with hatred for your neighbors.

Here Peter Obi demonstrates what so many having been saying from the start of his presidential bid: more than anything else, his rabidly intolerant supporters were the ones who cost him any chance of victory, by alienating everyone who wasn't in perfect alignment with every single one of their opinions. Just compare and contrast the vicious insults and personal attacks they unleashed upon Soyinka's head with this statement by Obi in which he forthrightly acknowledges what all his ignorant and bilious supporters couldn't: that Wole Soyinka paid an unimaginably high personal cost for the Igbos during the civil war, and has more than earned his right to speak out on public affairs without fear of frothing mobs calling him every foul name in the book.

Lol!

Obi has gone to make sure Baba Soyinka has not slid into depression after Chimamanda schooled him into silence.🤣
