Our politicians in the north are waking up , they also want to hold their ground on the social media ...Social Media is Power

Infact let the number of social media aides rise to overtake that of Covid 19 cases in the world. A govt that prioritizes social media aides rather than projects and achievements just got ready for propaganda. A lot of them will be on Nairaland soon to sing praise and worship to his credit for just peanut earnings. The day he is no more relevant in politics, these aides may become so jobless that they may be selling sugar cane on wheel barrow. It's the worst full time job to do.

If this is what it means to wake up, then I pity the states they govern. Politicians who spend so much on social media aides are only looking for online propagandists who will cover their incompetence by praising non existent dividends of democracy in their states, and fight critics.

Yea, you are very correct , but also look at it from the angle where our people can reach the leaders through their social media aides , cos the oppression with the masse is much an dthe leaders are't aware of it , so many things are happening in the streets that the masses cannot reach the leaders but with social media present , it's possible but the big issue is also using it to oppress the people .

misplaced priority.

recruiting characters that lie to the people is counterproductive.

dear buni pls provide the deliverables, social media is deceptive

the aids will only show the leader what will boost the leader's ego.
Criticisms and cries of people through the SM will effectively be suppressed by the aids.
If the leader can not access the social media himself/herself, then it is useless.

Misplaced priorities
