Nigerian rapper Lanre Dabiri, better known as Eldee, recently shared his thoughts on the effect of the impact of Nigerian elections on the citizens.
During a podcast with NMF, Eldee stated that the last election held in 2023 was rigged and Nigerians have since moved on, accepting the outcome of the rigged polls.
He mentioned that election rigging occurs frequently in Nigeria, and those responsible face no consequences, remaining in power.
He said, "We have elections. They rig them, and we accept the outcome of the rigging and we move on. This happens repeatedly, and nothing changes. The individuals who rig elections and kill people to get into positions of power, they remain in power and we just move on like nothing happened. So, if there is no consequence at any point, then people are not going to care.”
Eldee, now based in America, produced major hits in Nigeria such as “Bosi Gbangba”, “Ota Mi”, “Today Today”, and many more.
Below are some reactions from Nigerians on social media.
@kelvin_alaneme; @eLDeeTheDon just summarised the unfortunate Nigerian 🇳🇬 situation. His diagnosis of our national malady is spot on!
@papiJayIvieDenz: the truth and nothing but the whole truth.
@tdonlee: This has gone too far and we need to tell ourselves the truth. The three main candidates did this and the one that did it better won but we've reduced it to the winner alone.
@ThreeLeftThumbs: The last one was the most egregious of all. The first time I’ve seen the physical embodiment of the expression “daylight robbery”. Only it was accomplished overnight.
@segunoloye83198: Eldee the don..Weldon my brother it been a while..this Tinubu tenure has makes people’s who haven’t be heard for years coming out to speaks it shows Tinubu has failed woefully and with the ways he’s handling the economy he will continue to failed.
@ion4real: I remember listening to "Me I go yarn" by El Dee before he released "Am off to Yankee" when he was about to travel to the USA. A real OG who says it the way it is.
@kazuchinni: Abnormality has become the norm.
Many of them are here arguing blindly frequently.
The basic duty of a political leader is seen as a superb effort ; its like governance is rocket science
@UGONNNA_:L If everyone is held accountable for their wrongdoings, irrespective of their connections, status, or power, it would serve as the hard reset our country needs for a total revamp.
