Meet Joel Popoola: British genius of Nigerian descent behind digital democracy project


A British citizen of Nigerian descent Joel Popoola, the founder of a digital democracy project, Rate Your Leader, has said the app will soon be launched across all the states in Nigeria.

Legit.ng notes that Popoola said it is important for politicians to use the app to build relationships of trust with the electorate. He said: "Rate Your Leader is a cutting edge bridge between the elected representatives and their electors. The app will help politicians to listen, connect and engage with the voters within their constituencies, providing them with the tools to improve their voter reach, target and broadcast to voters at the touch of a button, encourage people to register to vote, and engage directly with voters without fear of abuse."

According to Popoola, the app will help leaders to know what matters most to the people whose interests they are serving. He said it will be extremely difficult for politicians and electorate to register multiple accounts on Rate Your Leader

Popoola grew up in Gbongan, Osun state where he had his primary and secondary education.
