In developed countries, campaigns are run by manifestos, intellectual debates and factual evaluations, however in third world countries like Nigeria, politics run slightly differently in an unorthodox manner. Campaigns are more entertaining and rudimentary to enable the politician get his point across to the electorate in the most effective manner that does not involve any critical level of reflection or thinking. Dino Melaye is a veteran Nigerian politician and has been on numerous campaign tours, so this campaign thing is more of a second nature to him, he knows how to work the electorate with his catchy jingles and his captivating dance steps, these are all the little things the locals can relate to. In his latest campaign, he took a dig at his arch rival, Governor Yahaya Bello of the state when he asked the electorate to vote for him because he is taller, finer, more educated and better in bed than Yahaya Bello.
Such tactics can be seen as outrageous by many, but this is the reality of Nigerian politics, this is the language the masses undersatd, you can watch the video below:
