Nigerians Celebrate Devils in Politicians While the People Suffer

Nigerians Celebrate Devils in Politicians While the People Suffer

There’s something deeply troubling about Nigeria—and many of us have become so used to it that we barely question it anymore.

Nigerians are celebrating devils.

We are not just being led.

We are celebrating the very politicians who make life harder for us.When Politicians Become Masters of Deception every election season, it’s the same pattern.

Convoys.

Promises.

Noise.

Hope.

They speak like saviors. They sound like they understand. They tell us change is coming.But once elections are over, reality returns like a slap.

Darkness replaces light.Broken roads remain broken.Hospitals stay empty of equipment.

Graduates remain unemployed.

Yet, somehow, these same politicians are praised, defended, and even worshipped. A Painful Reality I remember a man in my area who lost his child because there was no oxygen in the hospital.

That same week, a politician responsible for public welfare was trending—for distributing branded T-shirts.Think about that.A child dies due to negligence…And we celebrate the politician connected to the system responsible.

This is how Nigerians are celebrating devils without even realizing it.

We Celebrate Our Own Suffering this is the contradiction.

We clap for politicians who create hardship. We defend politicians who ignore our pain.

We argue online for politicians who wouldn’t recognize us in real life.And in doing so, we strengthen the very system that keeps us down.

The Dangerous Cycle the problem is no longer just bad leadership.

It is blind loyalty to politicians.

Supporting individuals without accountabilityDefending failureNormalizing suffering When people say, “That’s how Nigeria is,” what they’re really saying is:“We have accepted it.”The Truth We AvoidLet’s be honest.

These politicians did not become powerful on their own.We gave them that power.

Through:Our Votes our silence Our tribal and personal loyaltyUntil Nigerians stop celebrating devils in politicians, nothing will change.

A New Direction If Nigeria must improve, the mindset must change.Stop clapping for politicians because of promises.

Stop defending politicians because of loyalty.

Stop supporting politicians who fail repeatedly.

Start demanding results.

Because leadership is not entertainment.

It is responsibility.—Final Though tA country where Nigerians are celebrating devils in politicians will continue to suffer.

The question is: Are you still clapping?
