Is the  outcome of 2023  general elections in Nigeria not good enough reason to snub  Nigeria?

A tip of the ice berg. We are still in preliminary process. No reputable organization will openly merge with Nigeria since after this election due to the stigma of corruption and fraud Nigeria will be clearly known for. Just wait and see.  O sese bere.
