OBI AT A CROSSROADS: Is This the End of the Obidient Dream?

Walaata Papers has been tracking the political missteps of Mr. Peter Obi, and things are becoming even more chaotic.

The opposition coalition has now issued a stern warning to the former Labour Party presidential candidate, warning him not to abandon the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections.

Why? Because leaving the coalition might not just be a simple move—it could mark the end of Obi’s political trajectory.

Let’s get real. Obi is reportedly uncomfortable with the direction of the coalition, especially now that it appears he may only be offered a Vice Presidential ticket—a position far beneath his ambition. Is this the real reason he’s thinking of walking out?

But where does he go from here? Remember, Atiku is still a looming force in the PDP, and everyone knows he won’t let Obi win the primaries. So was the Labour Party exit premature? Is the ADC move already crumbling?

His constant party-hopping—from APGA to PDP to Labour and now flirting with ADC—has begun to damage his credibility. Once seen as a principled reformer, many now fear he’s turning into just another self-serving politician.

ADC insiders like Comrade Abayomi Bello are already sounding the alarm:
“If Obi ditches this coalition just because he doesn’t get the presidential ticket, he risks total political isolation. Nigerians will stop seeing a visionary—they’ll see a man obsessed with power.”

Even the youth who once believed in the Obidient wave are growing disillusioned.
Where’s the consistency? Where’s the leadership? Where’s the plan?

Peter Obi needs to decide—is he building a nation or chasing a title?

Our take? The earlier Obi makes up his mind on what he truly wants, the better for what’s left of the Obidient movement.

Are you still Obidient? Or have you finally seen the signs?

Is Obi still the answer in 2027 or has he lost the plot?

Was working on uploading our supplements to the website when MI's Nobody featuring 2Face came up. Youtube Music has a way of randomly playing old hits cos I haven't heard that song in a while.

As I listened, it reminded me that 2Face in his prime was untouchable sha.
That voice. His lyrics. That face. His understated swag. His laid back demeanour.

Kai kai. Heavily talented guy!

If he blesses you with a feature, that track was bound to explode. Like Street Credibility with 9ice. Like Nobody with MI. Like Ole with Sound Sultan.

King of the charts. Person wey do sotey dem comot 2Face as his name, give am 2Baba.

A legend through and through.

I enjoyed the reminder that the man was and is still HIM! Forget. He is HIM!

"The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart"Gada we move...

May the soul of the departed once rest in peace.
Honestly nothing really last forever

Breaking News:“Buhari Could Have Long Been Dead If He Had Chosen Treatment in Nigeria” — Femi Adesina

–Lagos Reporters

Former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to late President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina, has said the former Nigerian leader might not have survived if he had insisted on receiving medical treatment within the country.

Speaking on Channels Television on Monday morning, Adesina defended Buhari’s decision to consistently seek medical care abroad, particularly in London, both before and during his presidency.

“Buhari always had his medical in London, even when he was not in office. So, it's not about the time he was president alone,” Adesina noted.

He stressed that Buhari’s decision to stick with foreign medical treatment was based on survival, not pride or preference.

“You have to be alive first to get certain things corrected in your country. If he had said, 'I will do my medical in Nigeria just as a show-off or something,' he could have long been dead because there may not be the expertise needed in the country,” Adesina said.

The statement has reignited national debate over the state of Nigeria’s healthcare system and the repeated failure of successive governments to invest adequately in local medical infrastructure.

As tributes continue to pour in for the late president, Adesina’s remarks offer a deeper insight into the health struggles Buhari faced behind the scenes and the realities of a broken system he led for eight years.

TRIBUTE:

WE WILL ALL BE LESS WITHOUT BUHARI.

By Mallam Garba Shehu

Muhammadu Buhari was the rarest of individuals to grace political life anywhere in the world: an incorruptible servant of the people. He was not motivated by pride, or by riches - the accumulation of which repelled him. He was drawn to public service, discipline, and patriotism, and the unity of Nigeria as a one nation and one idea.

In his long service, first in the military he campaigned to keep Nigeria as a single country, and later briefly holding the position of head of state, he fought to tackle rampant corruption.

Later, as a converted democrat after the return of elections in 1999 he campaigned relentlessly to liberate Nigeria from becoming what he feared would be an elected, but corrupted, one-party state. Without Buhari’s refusal to back down, the disparate democratic opposition may never have united, and there would be no true multi-party system in Nigeria today.

Once that unity was achieved, Buhari – who else? – was chosen as the opposition’s flagbearer. In 2015 he became the first candidate to win election over an incumbent, for Nigeria the first-time power changed hands peacefully between the victor and vanquished.

His two terms in elected office coincided with worldwide economic challenges, and the threat from terrorism in the Sahel. He tackled both, creating new and welcome welfare programmes, and decisively breaking the power of Boko Haram.

Facing down accusations of favouring the north, he created ranches for northern herders to protect the livelihoods of southern farmers, saving lives and fostering better relations.
A deeply religious man, he was the opposite of partisan – enlisting a southern pastor as his two-time running-mate and regularly writing about Christianity and its relations with his own Muslim faith.

After assuming office, he struck up a lasting friendship with the Archbishop of Canterbury, with tolerance and modesty as well as religious fervor being attributes they shared.

After retiring from office, he returned to his farm and tended to his cattle, staying scrupulously out of the public eye and away from politics – always and intentionally refusing to comment. It was more important for this modest man to give a wide berth to his successor than to express any opinion, believing intervention in political affairs by ex-leaders was rarely merited, and more often a sign of a vanity he would never personally countenance.

Muhammadu Buhari led a life full enough for many men. He will be remembered best by his own words: “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”. He was the best of Nigeria, and we are all less without him.

BREAKING?
One down, many to go.

I remember when Abacha died, there was dancing in the streets. Anytime a tyrant dies, there is always jubilation; people are that their tormentor, who almost looked invincible, has kpaied.

Some of the ruiners of Nigeria run to foreign lands to die.

Not in the hospitals they left to rot. Not among the people they claimed to serve. But in the comfort of a foreign land far from the chaos they created.

You see life? It has receipts.

This is how they will be leaving, one by one.
The wicked, the heartless, and the greedy who sold a nation and thought they’d escape judgment.

Let them fly to London, but you can’t fly from truth.

Let this be a warning to the rest of them:
The people may be quiet, but karma is not sleeping.

We, the citizens of Nigeria, have the last word.

The University of Calabar Dental Department's license has been withdrawn.

Over 300 students have been asked to leave after spending 7 years in school.

They are being advised to learn a trade or do other things.

The quota was 40 annually, but the current VC admitted up to 900 students illegally.

A state of emergency needs to be declared in education.

Once they start replying you with “whatever or if you like”
Just know that your relationship has 10mb left

Be careful what you hear about somebody, you might be hearing it from the problem.

Not every story told is told with pure intentions. Sometimes the loudest person in the room, the one playing the victim or acting like the innocent party, is actually the root of the issue. People who cause pain, chaos, or destruction often try to rewrite the narrative before the truth has a chance to surface. They will speak first, speak the most, and speak in ways that gather sympathy, hoping others never stop to question their version of the story.

They spread rumors, twist facts, and leave out their own faults—because if they can make someone else look bad, they can keep hiding behind a mask. It’s a tactic of manipulation and self-preservation. And the sad truth is, many people fall for it without ever asking the other side of the story. That’s how good people get misunderstood, and how toxic individuals continue their damage unchecked.

Always remember: there are three sides to every story—what they said, what the other person experienced, and the truth that lives somewhere in between. Take your time to observe. Watch patterns, not performances. Listen to your intuition, not just the noise.

Be slow to judge, quick to question, and wise enough to know that the person pointing fingers might be doing it to keep you from seeing what’s on their own hands.
