It’s election season again in parts of Nigeria, but one question lingers:
Do young Nigerians still believe their votes count?
Let’s talk about the fading trust in the ballot and what it means for our future 🧵
(2/🧵)
After #EndSARS, youth political awareness spiked.
But the last general election left many feeling disillusioned — from delayed results to legal drama.
So what happens when hope fades?
(3/🧵)
You can’t blame anyone for feeling tired.
Many first-time voters saw the process as rigged, and participation dropped in local elections.
The system feels broken — and trust, even more so.
(4/🧵)
But does not voting fix anything?
Or are we silently giving more power to the same political class we criticize?
(5/🧵)
Change is slow, frustrating, and sometimes painful.
But giving up only makes the work harder for those still trying.
(6/🧵)
Voting isn’t the only form of civic power —
There’s advocacy, organizing, digital accountability, and yes, community action.
If we can’t win nationally, can we start locally?
(7/🧵)
The truth?
Democracy doesn’t work by default.
It only works when people participate even when it feels pointless.
(8/🧵)
So I ask again:
Do Nigerian youths still believe in voting — or have we handed over the system out of frustration?
Let’s talk. 👇🏾
