I just finished watching Network news on NTA and I saw a PDP commercial. It started with a video of 'Buhari as a former dictator' to a slogan' A dictator is always a dictator' and finally, vote for Goodluck Jonathan- Always a civilian.
This is just one out of several.

This is so wrong. The rule of thumb states 'Never ever use negative campaign tactics. Instead of opponents to focus on what they've achieved or failed to achieve, they channel their energy to showing us the supposed shortcomings of the other person.
I think we all know who the real culprits of this negative campaigning are, and honestly, they are encouraging poor voters turnout, creating a worse image of themselves, increasing indifference and possible election violence.

In Civilized countries, even the incumbent would have been sued for slander and libel.
Please learn to campaign by showing us your proposed manifestoes and stop telling us Military rule is a bad thing or that someone from another religion shouldn't rule because from all indications, Nigeria had the best years during the military era and besides, who says ours is the superior religion?

I don't usually comment on fridays

But when I do,

I make sure it has to be FTC

Do you know why they don't bother about intelligent manifestos? It's because we (as a people) like to fight dirty. Who cares about issue-based campaign? Just tarnish the opponent's image by all means and afterwards, go around town sharing indomie, money and bags of rice and the people will vote for you (after all, the masses are easily bought over by cheap stuff).

We really have a long way to go in this country.

The masses (electorate) must learn to look beyond negative propaganda and cheap gifts handed out by politicians.

That's the only way real and positive change will come, if not, we will keep dancing around in circles.

.That is how desperate they tend to be. They are campaigning against the other parties . This is cos failure runs in there system..... Who cares about them... If dem like make dem say he worse pass Devil.. It go change nothing...

The 1st Lady's Secret Advice To Mr President

https://www.nairaland.com/2203727/1st-ladys-secret-advice-mr

The thing tire me self. But OP, even though you said the truth, u kinda sounded like a 'change' agent.

Instead of opponents to
focus on what they've achieved or failed to achieve,
they channel their energy to showing us the supposed
shortcomings of the other person.

I first thought its only the presidency that involve in this stupid act until I see their supporter online with same behaviour.
instead of they (saTANist) to try and sell their candidate, his plan, manifesto, they will rather abuse buhari as a response to a failed promise by GEJ.

even our guy that decamp because of protection too has activated dat negative campaign method.

see attach pics

it seems all PDP are control by the same remote, same behaviour fayose, ayedee, FFK, etc exhibit.

#SAI BABA

God bless you OP

A very bad trend which has a very bad result. The ordinary Nigerian is the one that suffers the outcome not the politicians who have made arrangements for their children to elope once anything happens ( that is if they are still around),while the supposedly foolish 'supporters/fanatics' are waiting to collect the bullets.

As much as I can remember,it all began from the APC camp, PDP picked it up to counter APC's negative campaign effects. It all started with the exit of Amaechi and his team from PDP, since then they have carefully (with oil funds) stirred this nation into chaos. That's the truth.

And it will be very foolish of Nigerians to let themselves be led into chaos by these few mad fellows who have lost conscience and who do not really care for their supposed followers.

Hit like for #APC in you believe in change

The problem that we have is the President himself- a President who prides himself on his own weakness and incompetence and whose love of false prophets and strange women knows no bounds and has no end. A President who is as confused and as clueless as the comic character called Chancey Gardner in the celebrated 1970′s Peter Seller’s Hollywood blockbuster titled ”Being There”.
A President who does not understand the meaning of the word ”class” or ”honesty” and who breaks his own word consistently.
A President who has abdicated his responsibilities, destroyed his own political party, divided his own country, alienated his own friends, humiliated his own mentor, abandoned his own people, brought ridicule to his own faith, cowers before his own officials, betrays his own governors, scorns the international community and breaks his solemn oath to protect and defend the Nigerian people.
A President who does not even have the nerve or the guts to call to order any of the numerous Jezebels that control him. He is the problem we have in our country today and until he resigns, is impeached or is voted out of power nothing will change and Nigeria will continue to go from bad to worse. That is what you get when you vote for a man who never wore shoes to school.
May God deliver our country**

Lol,

A dictator is always a dictator!!!

I like that someone is speaking out against this trend. The facts remain that there would be life after elections. I detest any form of negative campaign and if you do that, you lose my support. Its so inhumane to call anyone names for mere political posts that you would leave after a stipulated time. If you want me to vote for you, its simple. Tell me what you can do and if I like I vote for you not telling me your opponent is evil. The negative campaign by the ruling party on the main opposition party was one I followed keenly, the silence from the opposition camp made me smile even though so unwarranted comments were made, it goes to show that we can rise above hate and propaganda and that's a good thing cause our developing democracy need it more than ever now.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Say no to violence
vote for peace.

Good point OP

I too am distressed at the level of negative campaigning.....both on TV and even on the internet. It seems that Nigerians prefer campaigning by abuse, rather than campaign of ideas and issues.

That is why sometimes....I wonder if Nigerians really understand what democracy is. Many seem to think it means putting their brother in office above all else.

Very true. Instead of each party to focus on telling the electorate what they have in mind to do, laying out their agenda and manifestos, they instead engage themselves in smear campaigns to score cheap political points. Arrant nonsense. Your works are meant to speak for you but when you have nothing to show, you become desperate.

God help us all.

Another clueless move

PDP has nothing to campaign with that is why they resort to slander. Voting for APC is the best choice cos APC will perform not only to impress the electorates but also to ensure they get a return ticket in 2019.

PDP on the other hand will. spend the next four years looting our treasury to recover the billions they have injected into hate campaign, sponsored documentaries, bribery of pastors and traditional rulers, etc.

Nigerians be wise for once.

Nice one op

Im sorry but what we are practicing here isn't democracy. Every democratic act we do is a direct opposite of what is done in civilized nations. Here the ruling party damage people's hard end reputations in order to win elections. Government of the people indeed.
