If there’s anything I’ve learned on campaigns and democratic culture in Nigeria, particularly with regards to march 28 2015 presidential election, it’s not only how easily the combination of grassroots supports, in terms of human and the capital resources you have can be the difference between winning and losing, but also the inevitable factors of the thin line between, religion, ethnicity and politics in its primordial sense. This was exactly the outcome of the election.
In all of these melodrama, the social media particularly facebook became and was a widely utilized platform for the effective realization of these primordial religious, ethnocentric political goals. With an unremitting effort of all dedicated members of the two major political party; PDP & APC and people who share in the ideal to support their presidential candidates with knowledge and expectations of what is and what is to come, Mobilized a generation of social revivalists who to an extent helped to shape and influence opinions, thoughts and feelings, subject to before and after the election outcome. These inspiring thoughts will serve you in a number of ways in understanding these subject matter. Godbless Nigeria.
