However, it is time for them to grow up and make substantive reports and interviews rather than constantly harping on the same tired narrative involving one man.

Here’s the challenge again: one week without mentioning Peter Obi in any interviews with guests when Obi is not the

Obi is a household name, period. Mentioning him tends to get peoples’ attention. Secondly, as explained earlier, news outlets want views, pageviews, and traffic. It is entirely understandable why media outlets would want those things.

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

However, so many opinion-makers continue doing it because they know it will get them views and allow them to stoke what appears to be a permanent ideological feud.

There are many reasons why Obi’s name keeps resurfacing in Nigeria’s media landscape. For one,

as Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati, Seun Okinbaloye, and others of doing precisely that whenever they invite guests who bring up Obi’s name. Many viewers have made it clear that they dislike such an approach because it distracts from the actual topic of discussion.

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

It is a pity that so many people in the Nigerian media landscape feel the need to bring up Peter Obi in almost every political conversation when there are more substantive issues to discuss. It is also a shame that so many feel the need to constantly accuse broadcasters such

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

So, many in the media landscape want to keep it that way. But it is time for responsible commentators to step up and realize that their job is to report news fit to print or air, and not to constantly rehash the same war between Obi and Tinubu merely for pageviews and views.

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

It is not as if the news anchors covering Obi’s presidential campaign were entirely wrong. After all, Obi is a prominent personality whose name commands attention. Reporters and opinion-makers know that. It is also true that Obi’s presidential run grabbed attention and traffic.

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

Peter Obi “came third,” what is the virtue in constantly talking about him as if he came first? It is entirely unsurprising that so many people feel compelled to ask Obi supporters to stop bringing up the man in virtually every discussion about Nigerian politics.

have been asking guests in their shows to discuss the economy, government, security, or party politics, only to veer back to Peter Obi, whether the show’s topic was about Peter Obi or not. If, as some commentators and news outlets were claiming shortly after the 2023 elections,

One Week Without Saying “Peter Obi”: Challenge Some Media Outlets May Not Survive

Here’s a challenge for political commentators and news anchors: one week without talking about Peter Obi in interviews where he is not the invited guest.

For too long now, opinionated anchors

@sowore @officialABAT @nnamdikanu remembering that seeking validation from outsiders often comes at the expense of one’s own. I understand your ambition for more federal appointments, but keep in mind: one who turns against his own people rarely earns genuine trust from others.

@sowore @officialABAT @nnamdikanu To Joe Igbokwe, I saw your reply to this post on Facebook thus my response to you:

Could you take a moment to look at the profiles of those who liked your post? It appears that the majority—around 90%—are Yorubas, with only a small fraction from other groups. It’s worth

@LugardPrin42812 @MichaelOmodara3 @PO_GrassRootM You’re not a serious individual! Who helped Buhari to get there? Is Buhari a PDP member? If Tinubu cannot make progress in one year…why did he make dangerous retrogression in the economy? Let him take the economy back to the eras of those you condemned (PDP or even Buhari).

@GospeloDave @bummiearo @AfamDeluxo @pauladefarasin Lol…

@icemays @BOGbadams You need to see so called intellectuals on my secondary school platform who supported and still support Tinubu till date. It’s so unfortunate!

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

@aslentoye @BOGbadams You’re right but he can’t run with it because he doesn’t know what to do with it

[Moses Ihenacho @IhenachoMoses]

@Adonis4all @BOGbadams But I still see a bunch of Yoruba guys defending his government even in this disturbing hunger ravaging the country.

@BBQ__Hills @chude__ Now to think Southern Nigeria? Funny you! I thought you said “Youruba Ronu”? Now, Southern? Nonsense!!!
