Cruise as usual. To some Nigerians, this is entertainment. But what is really happening here is the ruling class and their descendants protecting their interests through collaboration. The Adelekes have more in common with the Wikes and the Tinubus than they could ever have with ordinary Nigerians. Davido’s ranting on social media during the elections was never simply about you. You were being used as leverage in their internal power struggles. You were the pawns on their chessboard. Now that they have made peace, they celebrate together while some of the same people they mobilised are left mourning and some disappointed. The reality is that, they will always protect their interests. You are their bargaining chips. They are not enemies. When their interests clash, they will use you as bargaining chips against one another. When they reach an agreement, they will put their differences aside and move on. Leaving you to mourn, feel disappointed and carry the consequences of their interest. You are disposable when they no longer need you, and reusable when they need you again. And the worst part is that they are not even afraid to demonstrate this to your face. And you are too stupid to see it. If there is anything you should learn from this, is that whatever power these families have is ultimately because you gave it to them. And you can decide to take that power away from them, by organising and showing solidarity with your class. Stop allowing yourself to be recruited into the personal and political battles of people whose interests are fundamentally different from yours. Start by boycotting. They are nothing without you. But they are everything with your ignorance.
