Topic: Lawyer activist ask candidates to better spend their money on bet than election (Read 90 times)

Can you name any country that has transparent politics and no electoral fraud? Including powerful countries like Germany, France and especially the United States?
If you are also interested in the upcoming US election, you can easily see the two candidates constantly badmouthing each other, even using tricks to eliminate their opponents or abusing their power to call for their opponents to be imprisoned...they will do anything to win. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and that is how politics works and the nature of politics.The election is entering its most important phase, I would not be surprised to see more fraud and accusations.

It can be said that politics and elections in the United States this time have exposed and reflected the evil, rotten nature of the political system.

 He has a point. You know the last time the likes of Peter Obi and Atiku contested, we know how it all turned out. Some of the politicians know who's going to be the next in line and the process of electioneering is a waste of time and a bid to fulfill all righteousness.
 Adeyanju's advice may seem absurd, like he's trying to derail people from participating in elections but we can see that there hasn't been any thing positive that has been gotten from elections and those candidates that look like they have got the good of the country at heart won't be given the opportunity or if they finally look like they are making headway, they'd get cheated out of it.
 I know that every country experiences electoral malpractices of some kind but in Nigeria, it's become a normal thing and for someone of Adeyanju's calibre to give such an advice, it means he has given up on believing that any good can come out of these activities.

It is really disappointing living in a country where there are lots of electoral malpractices happening during elections. Anyone may decide not to vote, take up political positions or even invest in any candidate they feel has all it takes to represent the people because they are afraid the higher powers will still win it all. But the sad truth is that, not spending on elections or completely disassociating one's self from electoral activities will not put an end to the political abnormalities in the country. Deciding not to run for any political position will give the ruling party clean victory without stress, making their work easier.

If truly the opposition parties know their worth, they will not yield to any pressure from the ruling party. They can take over the government if they prepare their minds for it.

You are correct; this board can be used to discuss the political matters of any country, especially if you want to get the views of people from other countries. But most times we discuss the political situations in mostly the US because it usually affects the crypto industry.


It will take only true democrats to lose elections where the head of the Electoral Commission is his appointee. And we rarely have such politicians in Africa. I could remember that the only incumbent president that have lost election in Nigeria is Goodluck Jonathan. I totally agree with Comrade Deji Adeyanju that Bola Tinunbu will not lose elections regardless of what the opposition does. Even if he loses, the Electoral Commission will rig it in his favour.

But there is no harm in trial, the opposition can join forces together and fight to win him. If it happened in other parts of Africa like Kenya and Liberia, the opposition could also win in Nigeria.

The activist is very correct with his postulations, in a typical Africa Electoral system, it's almost impossible to win an election against the incumbent powers, the reason is not because opposition parties are not viable, the reason is the incumbent will use their vector powers to rig the Elections in collaboration with the Electoral umpire.

So if the activist is telling opposition parties ahead of time the possible reality they will face in 2027, I don't think it should be taken out of place. Personally as a Nigerian, I'm pained seeing that citizens don't have the powers to successfully elect leaders of their choice without undue interference by the powers that be in an acclaimed Democratical setting.

Do you know why the likes of deji are still relevant in the Nigerian media space? It's because he's been an active voice in the Nigerian political space and it's easy to allocate him a position of a media aid to a particular political candidate just like the way ajuri ngelale made these kind of noise and today, he's the media aid to the president.

Contesting in an election most expecially in the Nigerian context of the election is not just because you're hoping to win at the election. Some persons even before picking the expression of interest form knows that they don't stand a chance to win but will still go on to do it because they know that through election they get to project themselves and show that they are relevant politically.

Most Presidential candidate always gets compensated after the election and are mostly given appointment and that's what most of them hope to achieve. Observe that somewhere close to the election day, at least 70% of them will step down and join a given party and that's if they lose a strong threat to the two major party (i.e The PDP and the APC). The idea is to contest and gather a good amount of support and at the end push it all to a superior candidate who will give you an appointment if he eventually wins. It's all about smart games.

For deji To talk that in place of such possibility that they use thier money for gambling means that deji is just being hypocritical even when he knows how the political game works.

I'm not in doubt that the Nigerian local board members in the forum would relate better to the post but if I may ask, why can't my country Nigeria political affair be discussed here when other countries political and economy affairs are also being discussed here?
Just being concerned because I know either global economy or in the crypto world has Nigerian not been a minority of not worth being a attractive for global discussion.

Bro I think this post should have gone directly to the Nigerian local board.
It is not right dropping this message in general.

We're always getting it from different dimensions. An African, Nigeria activist also a lawyer identified as Adeyanju passed his forthright candid warning on the 3 different presidential candidates from different political parties who contested the 25 February 2023 Nigerian presidential election with the president Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to waste their funds and resources on the forthcoming 2027 election with the hope of winning the incumbent president as Tinubu.
Actually the political system of Nigeria is undoubted that the incumbent president (s) is always favoured by the electoral constituted bodies known to be Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who supercedes the conducts of national elections in the country.
The activist has laid his prediction against the upcoming 2027 that even if the 3 different presidential candidates collaborates against the incumbent president as Tinubu, they'll all fail with his analysis that the presidents influence superceded the INEC meaning electoral constituted bodies would always be answerable to favour Tinubu in a short note that the INEC is automatically candidates to the president.

Funny enough, the activist has asked those aspiring candidates to better use their campaigns monies to play 2 Odds where it'd be potential to profit them because that of the election would be a wasted money and resources. Don't waste money contesting against Tinubu and INEC, spend your money on bet. Adeyanju tells -
Being sincere, understanding the political system of Nigeria, if the upcoming 2027 is included in the bookmaker gambling, I'd afford to bet on the president Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win with a highily amount of stake because I'd be sure of walking away with a boom profits in returns.
I also don't see the express of the activist of Adeyanju as a biased approach other words, he's absolutely saying the truth.
