The Anatomy of Unruly Obedients! Yahaya Balogun.

“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” - Seneca.

"When you are built to be tall, you will endanger your position if you lower your perspective" - Pastor T. D. Jakes.

"You can't teach a turtle the giraffe's decisions." - Pastor T. D. Jakes.

The two axiomatic expressions above were popularized by the American Pastor T. D. Jakes.

"When you imagine your future with indifference and selfishness, the idea you conceive will develop to become monstrous. The multiplier effects of your monstrosity will not only affect you, but it will affect other zombies and innocent people around you. Beware of what you wish for other people in life." - Yahaya Balogun.

Turtle-like Obedient supporters are plagued by self-hate and self-immolation. Many of them want their unserious candidate to become the Nigerian president, yet they are abusing and dismantling the formidable geopolitical structures that will assist boy-Obi in achieving his inordinate political aspiration. Is that not ojujucalaba or witchcraft?

Peter Obi and his band of political jokers seem utterly detached from reality. They thrive on outrageous nonsense and wilful or deliberate ignorance, showcasing their unruliness for the world to see.

The Obedient supporters seem to be trapped in a cycle of self-loathing, a complex web woven from their own insecurities and distorted perceptions. Their suffering, rather than being rooted in tangible experiences, and meaningful conversations appears to stem from a vivid and often twisted imagination, one that leads them far away from a grounded sense of reality. This disconnect renders them unable to reform their skewed thinking, which is heavily influenced by unfounded conspiracy theories and a misguided sense of righteousness.

In conversations, they come across as somewhat pathetic—almost incessantly chattering and squawking like restless birds, seemingly oblivious to the weight of their own words. This constant barrage often turns into an attack on those who dare to voice a different opinion, with reckless abandon that borders on the aggressive. In their minds, there exists an unwavering belief that they are the arbiters of truth, convinced that no perspective other than their own is valid or worthy of consideration.

The unruly nature of the Obedient supporters can be particularly unsettling during social interactions, where their pronouncements often evoke discomfort or even fear. Their relentless devotion to their ideology not only alienates others but also burdens their leader Peter Obi—who is, sadly, embarked on what many perceive to be a faltering political expedition.

This chaotic dynamic leaves little room for constructive dialogue or growth, turning what could be a meaningful exchange into a frustrating exercise in futility. Thus, the Obedient supporters become less a force of positive change and more a cumbersome weight, dragging down the uncoordinated aspirations of their leader Peter Obi in a journey marked by imminent failure rather than success.
