The Power Of Social Media You Underrated! by Ratello: 12:48pm On Feb 15, 2019
The Power Of Social Media You Underrated!

I have listened over and over again on how many people ignorantly talked down on the influence of the social media in politics especially in the area of elections and I feel like clarifying the importance and power of the social media in changing the course of election, as we saw in the case of Donald Trump, through his Twitter and Facebook pages. He was constantly posting pressing questions and thought provoking narratives against the incumbent government of Obama and his adversary at the poll, Hillary Clinton, at last, Trump won. You know why? Information is power! When you are informed, you are reformed and when you are not informed, you are deformed. Trump revealed many secrets in the dark of Hillary as Secretary of State towards her Country, America, especially in the over 30,000 secret emails that she wiped off her inbox in order to conceal some classified Informations many Americans thought would have been vital for American security and also show some shady transactions in the diplomatic world Hillary must have involved herself in. Trump loves controversies for going that deep against Hillary and the Democrats Party. On the date of the Presidential Debates, he proved to the whole world they he was not bluffing by accusing Hillary of that weighty allegations as he repeated it again before her and really scored a big point with that strong allegations to which Hillary had no clear cut answers which eventually paid off for Trump on the day of election, he won!

Coming down to Nigeria, the same scenario eventually played out as Atiku Abubakar, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, made use of the social media (Facebook and Twitter) to sell his candidacy and programmes to the millions of Nigerians who visit these sites and through that made himself a household name that really intimidated the influence of the sitting President, Muhammadu Buhari. It must be cleared that Atiku himself got involved in direct messages on his social media inboxes and also interact directly with his fans and supporters hence; their criticisms, eulogies, condemnations of his personalities have been of great benefits and importance to help him fraternise with the problems of  many Nigerians (especially the youths) which actually helped him to carve a fantastic "Working Template" he titled, "Let's Get Nigeria Working Again" (GNWA), which took over the social media cyberspace like a storm. Constant visit to Atiku's social media pages will always leave you with a message of hope and something to ponder on for that day as revealing messages about the inconsistencies, incompetences, lies, shenanigans, wrong policies and other economic vices embedded in this kleptomaniac government of Buhari that couldn't sell itself to Nigerians through the social media are shown to the world to see. Atiku tapped into the huge resources of what the social media can do in influencing decisions on time and now he is reaping the fruits. Virtually every online polls conducted between him and Buhari had gone his way because he had some catchy phrases to drive home his points and policies for a better Nigeria.

The question now is, how is Atiku's influence on the social media reach out to the Northerners with their wheelbarrows, small wares, sugar cane sticks, onions, tomatoes and pepper, wristwatches, and small transistor radios who choose to listen to his "BBC Hausa news transmission and their popular fast pacing local music"? How is Atiku's influence on the social media reach out to the local market women and men in the southwest and the local fishermen and women in the south-south parts of Nigeria what happened to the artisans too and the less privileged who hardly visit the Internet? How is Atiku's influence on the social media reach out to the local farmers in the interiors of Middle belts of Nigeria like Benue, Kogi, Plateau, Kwara, Nasarrawa and our few brothers and sisters in the Southeast who have vowed not to be involved in any Nigerian project since their "Biafrans Dream" is all what they see? The answers to all this is very simple. Every Social Media constant visitors and account holders are "Strong Influencers" that can affect the aforementioned ones above towards taking a decision as we go to the polls through the power of information they (influencers) have which these locals don't have. Most of the Talakawas (the poor masses up North) are influenced by their leaders who are the elites and their benefactors that are constantly in touch with the latest information which they can manipulate to convince these ones to take decisions which are almost obeyed without thinking otherwise. Top politicians in the South are highly revered and whatever they tell their subjects to do are very weighty and can influence many to do the needful These are the simple analysis on how elections are won and lost. You can still inflience that man, woman, boy or girl who can vote to consider voting for Atiku Abubakar as we go to the polls, trust me, it is not too late to preach it. Atiku Abubakar had paid the supreme prize to be Nigeria's next President, let's rally round this great job creator and unique unifier for a Nigeria that works for all!

Peace!!!

Tomorrow will re-emphasized the fact that social media plays little or no role on who becomes the next president of this country.


Just watch out and see how Buhari will emerge victorious and shame you and your social media projections
