Nigerians fume as young boy who was promised heaven and earth during presidential election is neglected
In what appears to be a disheartening turn of events, Nigerians are expressing their disappointment as the young election hero, whose viral video of chasing Peter Obi’s convoy captivated the nation, has allegedly been left empty-handed despite grand promises made during the presidential election campaign.
The incident has reignited debates over the credibility of campaign pledges and the treatment of citizens who actively participate in political processes.
During the presidential elections campaign, the young boy was promised a myriad of rewards ranging from scholarships abroad to substantial financial compensation.
These assurances were intended to recognize and appreciate his bold act of running after the convoy of Peter Obi, the former vice-presidential candidate, in a fervent display of support.
However, five months have elapsed since the general elections took place, and the promised rewards have failed to materialize, leaving the young election hero disillusioned and causing Nigerians to voice their grievances.
Social media platforms have been inundated with expressions of frustration, highlighting the broken trust between politicians and the electorate.
@mandemluvme said; “U go dey trust politicians?😂😂😂”
@mali.k_3 wrote; “Obi😂😂😂”
@jah_rock_ said; “I did not trust this man right from day one… fake man”
@thisleksam said; ‘That’s politics for you”
@bvenza wrote; “Just da play you da hear da play.”
@b_o_w_a_d said; “Peter obi talk say he won give him one post then ?

A fresh Senior Secondary graduate has sent out a stern warning to ladies as she tells them to hold their boyfriends well.
The young graduate has shared a video on her social media page advising the older ladies to hold their boyfriends well because she is done with school and in the market.
According to her, she is now in the dating market and has also learned the skills of snatching boyfriends and husbands from their ladies.
The video shared by the young graduate has attracted a lot of reactions from social media users.
Seun wrote; “They learn this rubbish from social media. It’s now cool for kids in secondary school to say stuff like this. It’s a short distance from saying to doing.”
Blossom wrote; “Boyfriend wey pesin suppose hide from secondary school pikin no be boyfriend”
Fatima wrote; “I hope this video gets to her parents so that they can beat her very well.
