Nigerians would edge you on till you enter your waterloo and they'll dump you.
Okay, let's assume it this way.
Peter Obi was arriving Benue and the sponsored thugs wielding rifles and other weapons stopped him.
He wanted to charge through but his security details advised him otherwise.
He insisted and took his team which was very few in number, and charged through the armed thugs.
The thugs resisted and the scuffle started. Of course, they easily outnumbered Peter Obi and his small team.
In the brief altercation, Esther lost her right eye, MamaPee lost all her front teeth, Mr Paul's head got broken, Zekeri got stabbed and Peter Obi got beaten mercilessly.
After the destruction, the security team comes on media to tell Nigerians that they actually warned Peter Obi against going against the thugs but he insisted and risked the lives of his team members and at the moment, no one knows wether Zekeri would make it out alive from the ICU.
The FG would come out and condemn the attack and condemn Peter Obi for being reckless.
Akin Tollgate would assess the situation and claim that's the reason why he left Obidient movement because Peter Obi is not actually thoughtful.
Omojuwa would write another epistle asking for the prosecution of Peter Obi for disturbing public peace.
The Benue govt. makes a case that one of the thugs was actually killed by Peter Obi's team and they're holding Peter Obi responsible.
The Channels TV and Seun immediately platforms the thug leader to narrate his distorted version while intermittently playing clips of Peter Obi fighting through the thug.
This same people attacking for not fighting today, would begin to write pages how Nelson Mandela achieved a lot without fighting.
They'll ask why should they vote in a man who can't handle his emotions.
The next week, Benue govt. with the help of FG frames Obi and sue him for violence and manslaughter. DSS is petitioned to detain Obi in the interest of public peace.
The next day, Peter Obi is picked up and detained in the room next to that of El Rufai.
Some youths come online and make noise for a few days, while APC floods the TVs with 'professors' and 'intellectuals' to defend the arrest.
And the whole opposition politics is messed up, and the ADC sacrifices Peter Obi for political gains. All hope is lost.
And 10 years later, Peter Obi is remembered as the man who stopped Nigerians from removing Tinubu.
Politics is politics.
Emotions are emotions.
Power is power.
Emotion is not power.
Every sensible human being understands the importance of Peter Obi's refrain in the face of sponsored violence.

Biggi: what is your partener(Tram) good at.
Temi: he is good at lying. He is a liar, a deceiver.
Tram: I guess that's working on you.
Temi: it's bot working on me, its working on your people.

I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.
I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.
This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.
Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.
A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.
A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
