Your are contradicting me, and you end up listing the aspect of Nigeria dirty politics i was addressing in my previous post. I'm not try to defend my field of study rather am just teaching you the basic of politics. Just as the name implies game, every players would state out strategies to win the opponent but it must played according to the rules of the game. In west they respect and follow the electoral guidelines of the game of politics, even when they use the media and other social platforms to campaign and to project their agendas they do it within the ambit of the rules. so there is no way i will accept that politic is a dirty, when is not dirty in some countries, its only dirty in Africa, because the politicians doesn't respect the rule of laws nor obey the electorate laws.
I see where you dey come from, and you make sense for some points, but e good make we look this matter well.
See, we know say Africa politics get im own wahala, but to talk say politics clean for the West no go too correct. Even for Western countries, politicians dey use dirty tricks, dem dey use propaganda, big money influence, lobby groups, and sometimes dem dey even rig systems quietly wey no dey obvious like Africa own.
For example, for US, big corporations dey sponsor politicians with heavy money to push their own agenda, na why dem dey talk say “money dey control politics.” We don see how media dey controlled to favour one candidate over another, and how some laws dey used to suppress votes in some areas. Even for UK, we see how Brexit campaign get plenty propaganda and misinformation wey later affect the country.
Politics everywhere na power game, and sometimes the players dey bend the rules without breaking am outright, but e no mean say dem dey play am clean. E just mean say dem sabi hide the dirty parts pass the way e dey for Africa.
I agree say politicians for Africa suppose respect rule of law, but make we no deceive ourselves say politics dey 100% clean for anywhere. Na why them call am a “dirty game” for many places, because behind the scene, plenty manipulation dey happen.
No vex, I just dey share my own angle, and I still dey learn from you too.
