The Effect Of Social Media On The 2023 Election by Victoxy(m): 12:27pm On Aug 29, 2022
A lot of tinubu supporters will always drive the narrative that social media is not a polling unit and elections are not win there,yet they are scattered all over the net trying to market their candidate. Does that really make any sense?. Why no leave the SM space to the noisemakers and do you "Tactical Work" underground,like baba tinubu.

The truth is,2023 election results will be mightly affected by 4 major things. Social media, religion,tribe and betrayal.
Social media has garnered more influence than 2019,the last election. A lot of people are joining and a vast majority of the youths spend their time there. If you think this wouldnt affect it,you are clearly wrong. We have several categories of youths in this election. The ones that have never voted before,the new ones that registered for a PVC because of the election and those that only follow the trend. These are all we need to clear the youths votes. PDP's victory at osun is an example of youths following the trend. Most of the active youths on social media are from the SW,SS,SE,NC and NE. That's 5 major region region,what else?. Obi is currently the trend and people are doing what their mates are doing cause they don't want to be left out and they know their votes will only make it a complete package. A 17 year old in 2019 will already be 20 this year so automatically he is eligible. So all the 20,19 and 18 year olds are eligible to vote and they must have carried such grief, especially those affected by ASUU strike.

On the tribe issue,we all know that the Norths will always want to retain power and the SE will always be behind their man. Then we have NC,SS and SW. These regions are not in this category and they are so,for different reasons. That would bring us to the remaining factors.
NC,no candidate so they are going for whoever could convince then but, remember, religion and social media effect will take a great toll. It is not the job of the candidates to do their job. Tinubu,not even a chance cause the effect of APC will drastically lower his chances, especially when people don't go for him

SS,closest side to SE,they would surely go for obi and Atiku. Religion will also take its course,as majority are Christans plus they are also youth under the social media trend part,so it is all easy for the smarter one.

Then SW comes to mind,the home of social media dominance,home to several immigrants (they are so deep our states that they can speak our language better than us,lol),home to several vibrant youths,home to several big churches and most populated,home to several big men of God,home to a lot of intellects.
Not trying to praise them,only trying to point out the set of people he is trying to cajole.
The yorubas will show him that we cannot be treated like puppets and betrayal will just be a word.

All his hopes are that SW is covered,lol. Social media influence will snap all his dreams. He consequently appointed dumb urchins,who in a bid to divide the Yoruba and Igbos,are only making their bond stronger. I was speaking to one of my friend yesterday after service and he told me how the IPOB thing is being misused by people and how they make it seem as though the yorubas and Igbos are enemies online. Thats why i laugh whenever i see the urchins try to fuel enemity,dead on arrival. Yorubas are the major ones defending the ipob stuffs on nairaland,cause they know it is not true.

To cut the long story short,my advice to all the Obi-dients out here is that,if they give you money,please collect it, spend it,and vote for the best man. It isn't a fight of one region,it is the fight for Nigeria. Let's show them that the youths are powerful and our electoral prowess is unmatchable. That is,if obi bleeps up,we could easily displace him,that is what all those urchins do not know,they think we are doing it because of obi and all that. Lagos is currently being controlled by tinubu and we don't want the same for Nigeria. We want to use obi to show them that any government that does not do a good job will be replaced immediately.

This is a freedom fight for the masses,stop selling your common sense to defend a man that will turn it to his personal property. If after this,you still go around doing nonsense,then, it is well.
