Nigerian rapper Vector recently took to social media platform X to express his frustration with Nigerians showing solidarity with foreign election processes, particularly in countries that significantly influence Nigeria’s well-being.
His puzzling statement read, “I will never understand Nigerians/Africans who show some form of solidarity with the election process in nations that fuck us all for a living.”
The post garnered various reactions from Nigerians, with one commenter attributing this behavior to societal distrust in leaders. Vector retorted, “Our society doesn’t trust itself.” Others explained their interest in America’s election, citing global politics, energy prices, supply chains, and freedom.
Vector highlighted the irony of focusing on foreign systems rather than addressing domestic challenges. He emphasized personal responsibility, stating, “They will stifle the growth of their own land and selves by their thinking.” This sparked a debate about the role of social media in shaping public opinion and political engagement.
