Every time His Excellency Mr. @PeterObi speaks about how the system tries to silence him, I listen. But I never imagined I would witness it firsthand—until Saturday, 31st May 2025. Let me walk you through what happened.

I accompanied Mr. Obi to London Business School, where he engaged in a Fireside Chat hosted by the Africa Business Club. The theme?
“From Promise to Prosperity: Charting Africa’s Development with Political Will and Vision.” A powerful and inspiring session with Q & A.

After the event, we boarded an Uber to Brentford Community Stadium, where Nigeria faced Jamaica in the Unity Cup Final. At the entrance, we ran into D’Banj, who came to perform at the event. We slipped in and sat near the Nigerian team.

The match ended 2-2 and went to penalties. As it got intense, the crowd—mostly young Nigerians—started chanting: “Obi! Obi! Obi! Obi!”
Some players began noticing him too. To avoid becoming a distraction, Mr. Obi quietly stepped back, cheering the team from a distance during the penalty shootout. But after Nigeria won, some officials invited him to their post-match photo session.

True to form, he politely asked them to get clearance from the officials. Suddenly, everything changed.
One of the officials, after a phone call, returned with a hardened face and shouted: "He is not allowed to take pictures with the team!" Just moments earlier, the same officials were been visibly excited about Mr. Obi’s presence. The transformation was disturbing. It was clear someone had given a directive. The atmosphere shifted instantly.

One player, still determined, tried to greet him after the photos. But from the pitch, a voice thundered:
"You have been told not to greet him!"
Security physically blocked the player from reaching Mr. Obi.

The player, visibly upset, walked off the pitch straight to the dressing room. It was shocking to witness. Even efforts to see the team even in the dressing room was met with same instructions from above. Unbelievable! Meanwhile, both Nigerian and Jamaican fans continued swarming Mr. Obi for photos. They didn’t care about politics—only the man they respect.

I left the stadium thinking:
Even in football, a sport meant to unite us, politics has been weaponised.
That moment deepened my resolve: In 2027, we must build a country where no one is silenced based on party affiliation. A nation where everyone is equal. ✊🏽🇳🇬

Yinmu. You claim that he is being sidelined yet his Fidelity Bank, his cash cow, is daily making billions in profit.

This table you are shaking with your lies ehn, you will soon hear from Baba Sowore and Reno Omokri

Exactly, we know how they hate to hear the truth.
Very clear Indication they are intimidated by Peter Obi, they fear his popularity and patriotism.

Fvck Obi

Summary 😒😒


On Saturday, May 31, 2025, a firsthand revealed the systemic efforts to sideline His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi. After speaking at a powerful Fireside Chat at London Business School—hosted by the Africa Business Club under the theme “From Promise to Prosperity: Charting Africa’s Development with Political Will and Vision”—Mr. Obi attended the Unity Cup Final between Nigeria and Jamaica at Brentford Community Stadium.

During the match, young Nigerian fans chanted his name, and players began to recognize him. To avoid causing distraction, Mr. Obi stepped aside during the penalty shootout. After Nigeria's win, officials initially welcomed him to a celebratory photo with the team. But suddenly, following a phone call, their tone shifted. One official harshly declared that Obi was not allowed to be in any photos. A player who attempted to greet him was stopped by security under direct instruction, visibly shaken by the hostility. Even private efforts to meet the team in the dressing room were denied.

Despite this, fans from both Nigeria and Jamaica continued to approach Mr. Obi warmly, undeterred by politics. The experience revealed how political bias has infiltrated even sports—an arena meant to unify. The incident affirmed the author's belief that Nigeria must work toward a future where no citizen is silenced due to political affiliation and where equality prevails.

They have started propaganda with their media arm, generating ridiculous news of Amaechi popularity gaining momentum to displace Obi as the third force.

As in ehh...Those guys are funny.

That is What Sentiments Can Do to a People, When You Patronize Religion And Party Over Character, Capacity And Competence

APC never wants to take half of what dey dish out to other politicians...

Fvck Obi

Bitterness of this people at its peak.

Packaged fraud for the gullible FOOLS

The urban bandit in abuja and his gang of clowns everywhere love corn and darkness.

Peter Obi wan take picture with the Nigerian National Team players for his political propaganda? That man never ceases to amaze me.

It's very pathetic. Apc has reduced Nigeria to the lowest of low.

Same way nairaland is trying to silence every voice that's not ing apc propaganda and tribal agenda.

APC has killed everything Nigeria in everyone and come 2027, it will die a natural death.

If this is true then it is actually very bad

Princess Faith Chukwu

Take pictures with officials, is he part of the NFF delegation? Obi is a politician and everything about him would be viewed from the political lens. There's no silencing him here, bring another story

Bible has said it already. Why are they so afraid?
