Why politicians deceive voters with fake lifestyles by obembet(op): 10:14am On Jul 11, 2025
I stil wondering why Most Nigerian politicians humble themselves to the lowest whenever they are looking for support from Nigeria.

But immediately they find Thier way to power, you will never see the hawks it again.

I don't think any Nigeria should be deceived with this method used by Fayose, omishore, Rochas, atiku etc

This style of campaign has worked in the past and was busted by the Obidient movement and throughly condemn. No politician worth his salt will engage in such practices going forward.

Only for them to turn around yesterday and start defending the same practice

The Nigerian electorate will forever be gullible if the future leaders also fall for this scam then what does the future hold.

It then begs the question : is this Obidient movement really about wanting a better nation or just a political tool in the hand of a seasoned Nigerian politician.

The way the leaders of the movement have been doing ngolo Kanter work since yesterday to make this acceptable is also alarming

Nigeria needs Leaders who genuinely identify with the Plight of the Masses, not just for sake of winning public sympathy for electoral votes.

Does Obi look fake to you?

He's the only genuine politician among them

Lols... I’m a fan of Peter Obi but honestly, am so disappointed. It’s all fake!

I’m from Ekiti State so you see that Fayose you mentioned was truly loved. Fayose was so blunt so to me, it was not a game to deceive voters. Fayose can blast anybody in his/her presence either before or after election. Na street man normal normal but now nko, people don hate am.
Re: Why politicians deceive voters with fake lifestyles by njokuuche77(m): 11:07am On Jul 11, 2025
Lol, and you used Peter obi photo as your first reference point. I know what you did here. grin

The truth is, Nigerians are very gullible, including you and me.
We fall for packaging over principles, drama over track record.
So when politicians fake humility to win support, it works because we reward it.
Even the OP, who i guess is a woman probably wears makeup to ‘package’ herself, just like politicians do before elections.
The difference? One is for social acceptance, the other is for power and control.

We all play the game on different levels. So before we point fingers, let’s admit that this culture of performance runs deep, from Instagram filters to campaign trails.

It's only politicians desperate for powers you see them do this

The servers has been appointed by the organizer only for Obi to distort the occasion in order to score cheap goals he no dey work
Re: Why politicians deceive voters with fake lifestyles by Kingpele(m): 11:09am On Jul 11, 2025
Is politics trying to identify with the masses in a deceptive way...moreover most of the pictures are understandable, u don't expect someone to carry your own food in public or do u expect some one to fed u...is personal duty to oneself before u go use pride chop poison....but tinubu picture is prophetic ,he was revealing that his supporters will be largely corn eaters (agbadorians)

I always say it's unfortunate that Obi cannot win and become president. There are some of us who would have wanted him to win anyway if anything to show that he's not what he claimed to be grin

I have a strong belief Obi would make a very terrible president no joke. Its just unfortunate he cannot win.

Because they know Nigerians want "humble" leaders. That was why they said Buhari could not afford a presidential nomination form.

But it's not always about politics. Some of them are actually humble and eat with ordinary people, but because they're in politics and there's a camera, people will interpret it as political.

Anyway, it's wrong to think that just because someone is humble, they'll make a good leader. You can even have integrity (not chop money) and be a failed leader if you don't know how to lead and run things effectively.

Because that is what human ears like to hear and eyes to see, SWEET SCENARIOS THAT CANNOT SUSTAINABLE, humans emotions use to tend towards pleasure and retract against pains.

Isn't woman alone that falls to sweet talks, even man.


FAYOSE THIS, FAYOSE THAT, SINCE HE LEFT GOVT, HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE DISPLAYED SUCH LOW LEVEL KIND GESTURES? IF CON-MAN WANTS TO GO FOR SENATE TOMORROW NOW, HE QUICKLY REMEMBER STREET PEOPLE, BEFORE YOU KNOW, CLOWNS WOULD START RUNNING AFTER HIM AGAIN.
