    • I'm Kenyan but from what I understand about African politics there is a candidate that wins the internet youths but there is the largest demographic that isn't on the internet.

    • He will not win in spite of the fact that he may well be the best candidate. He will not win any of the Northern states.

  • Fix Nigeria or Split Nigeria, Shame on Tinubu for refusing to retire at 88years and Shame on Atiku for buying his way through everything.

  • 1:28 Silly mistake or malicious lie? Nigerias minimum wage as at Feb 2023 is 30,000 naira. 100mil naira is 3,333x our minimum wage, or 277.78x the yearly minimum wage.

    • I had to pause the video and run straight to the comments to make sure someone addressed this. May you live long... Lol. I think they mixed up the $230000 with the N30000 minimum wage. Divide both and it's 7.7. Still a silly mistake. It's the confidence in with she said it that makes it more brazen

  • In Nigeria, everyone contesting are just personal gain. Every candidate have use the average Nigerian feelings and emotions to play them. I'm saying it even the 3 top candidates, everyone is using the problems of Nigeria against us, you can believe whatever you want

  • Everything does not have to be made a feminist problem... Especially Nigerian elections... Using the number of females actively running for offices as a measure of the level of political participation of women in the country is a slap to face and an insult to all the women party leaders and party groups who work effortlessly to ensure their preferred party candidates win elections. Nigerians are not dumb. Despite our differences, we, men and women vote who we think is the best candidate and we would continue to do so not minding if those candidates are male or female.
