Social Media, Nigerian Youth And Politicians by Lucaking(m): 2:25pm On Aug 08, 2016
A warm reception he expected, an aggressive entry he got. "Join twitter they said, they never told me the level of disrespect and bashing is this much here. Everyone seems angry" Jimoh Ibrahim OFR (Ondo state gubernatorial candidate). A tool every office seeking politician must reckon with, the greatest weapon conferred upon youths across the world. "Children of anger" he called us yet we flourish and excel on the social media platform.

This is not a call for us to lose our sanity neither do we toss away our high moral standards. Remember a stone throw at the market place might hit a family member, we are not vulgar! We are cultured and we are African. Social media is a strategic and important electioneering tool, the youths are vital ingredient in any electoral process, we occupy and dominate the social platform, Nigerian youth and Social media are inseparable.

Rather than letting them create a division between us, the style and game is always creating a split: religion, tribe and region. Edo is here, Ondo is next, It is time to dig deep into their personality, it is time to look into their love for service and not unachievable propagandas, even though we have ended up with the inconclusive national electoral commission, to a large extent we own the votes. It is time to look beyond the recharge cards, customized exercise books, shirts and wristbands.
