Comedian Seyi Law lists the different kinds of political supporters in Nigeria
Comedian Seyi Law took to Instagram to list the different kinds of political supporters in Nigeria. Read below:
It goes without saying that there are different kinds of
political supporters and they are all in the support systems for
different reasons. Let's categorise them ased on these reasons.
INTEREST SUPPORTERS: This category is filled with a lot of
the rich guys, a few contracts seekers and the hopeful financial
beneficiaries. It is all about selfish interests. He will work in our
favour kind of guys. Let's invest and pull the He-Owe- Us cards. These
guy are in all the parties.
PAID SUPPORTERS: This category is the flock of the hungry.
These people are mostly common in Africa. The political class keep them
hungry through lack of education, inflation and unemployment. A few buck
and they throw caution to the wind. They are very gullible, but can
influence electoral results a great deal.
EDUCATED ILLITERATE SUPPORTERS: This group is the saddest
group. They are only as educated as the course of study without broaden
knowledge. They are shallow minded and can read stupidity into meaning
discussions. I call them the BRILLIANT FOOLS. They can argue out of
context and are very loud. They can't be easily corrected, but a little
tweak in their direction and they are brainwashed.
ETHNIC AFFILIATED SUPPORTERS: These guys are dangerous to a
good political process. They play the ethnic cards very well. They are
the ones who shout, he is our thief, you can touch him. They bring
ethnicity into every political discussions and no other tribe is ever
good enough no matter the achievements. They are quick to dismiss
achievements with a few wrongs. They always want to play the perfection.
GENUINE BUT PARTY BINDED SUPPORTERS: This category is that
of the few good guys who know the truth, but have been caged or
imprisoned by party affiliation and deep relationship. These guys are
the ones that tell you the truth and their frustration in private, but
are mute in public due to fear factors. I call them the COWARDS. If you
can't say it in public, keep it in your privacy. I don't care.
ELECTION DAY PAID SUPPORTERS: The reason I didn't add this
people to the Paid supporters is because they only come out on election
day and.
Vote for the highest bidder: These guys can vote multi
parties on election day for different offices according to the highest
payers. They are just the uncouth fools.
THUG SUPPORTERS: Dangerous and armed. They cause chaos at
rallies and election venues. The sad thing is most lose their lives on
money that is not worth it. We know them so I won't eleborate.
PATRIOTIC SUPPORTERS: These are the real MVPs. They are
politically neutral. They speak for the good of all and don't hide under
political correctness. They speak the bitter truth. These people are
hardly spoken about in public and highly abused. Only few of them are
young are willing to risk it. Just my observation, you may have more, do
educate us. Thanks
