 WHO ARE THESE OBIDIENTS?  Let me make this clear from the outset. I am a member of the APC and a supporter of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.  This contribution does not in any way derogate from that and my analysis is more of an academic and intellectual exercise than anything else.  I am NOT a supporter of Peter Obi and I have NO intention of becoming one. I am however interested on what his supporters represent and stand for and that is the subject of this essay.  They are worthy of my attention only because their rise and relevance in the political configuration of our nation, just in a matter of weeks, is meteoric and phenomenal.  In order to counter and defeat them or to keep them in their place we must at least attempt to understand them and figure out how their minds work.  The following are my findings.    Those that are the supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, are known as 'Obidients' and they are EVERYWHERE....

 ASUU: now the real strike begins For the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the real strike may be about to start -- for the democratic right to be paid for work not done.  That's the "real deal" for the veteran and glorious "strikers", moving from victory to victory! Mallam Adamu Adamu, the taciturn minister of Education, just threw down the gauntlet: the Federal Government won't pay ASUU for the six months or so they had been on strike.  To up the ante, Minister Adamu said every other striking university union had agreed to settlement terms and were ready to call back their members. It was only ASUU that demurred -- and no prize for guessing right: it wanted the government to agree to the full payment of its striking members, even if they had not taught anyone, in the past six months!  But why isn't anyone surprised? "All contentious issues between the government and ASUU had been settled," the minister claimed, "except the qu...
