2027: ”Politicians don dey collect their white native from tailor hand. Very soon now, you go begin see dem for roadside dey buy corn, dey help roast bole with women” – Comedian, I Go Die
Popular Nigerian comedian Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Die, has slammed Nigerian politicians for reusing deceptive tactics as the 2027 presidential election draws near.
In an Instagram post, the comedian cautioned Nigerians to be wary of politicians who stage false humility just to win public sympathy and secure votes.
He expressed frustration over the electorate’s repeated naivety, noting how many politicians pose as humble during campaigns but vanish after getting into office.
I Go Die also referenced iconic leaders like Obafemi Awolowo, contrasting their genuine legacy with today’s politicians who, according to him, continue to depend on outdated and dishonest campaign strategies.
He said, “2027 dey near… Politicians don dey collect their white native from tailor hand. Very soon now, you go begin see dem for roadside dey buy corn, dey help roast bole with women, enter market like say na dem suffer pass you, chop for mama put like say na their house. Fake humility just to win your heart.
“But once dem win, dem go disappear like spirit. You no go see dem again until next election. Same old script since 1960. No innovation, no sincerity.
“Na the same format dem Awolowo use that year na una still dey use today. Zero creativity. Zero change. Na why Nigeria still dey where we dey.
“We do not need actors, we need thinkers. We do not need visionary leaders, not recycled lies.”
