Insecurity has become a part of our national life. Nigeria is fast becoming the crime centre of Sub-Saharan Africa
Young citizens in the country are not shy to fight for their political interests online, and the social media is almost the most militant political space in Nigeria. The democratisation of the public space has allowed the voiceless to be heard. Many people who hitherto may not have had access to traditional media are constantly spewing their political views and consuming other people’s opinions on social media.
It has been empirically proven that vote buying tends to be more prevalent in poorer societies, although a distinction has also been made between programmatic and non-programmatic distributive politics. Nigerian electorates are mostly poor and their votes are ready commodities which they transact to earn some pittance that would fund their next meal.
The progressive degeneration of security across the length and breadth of Nigeria has far-reaching implications for the growth and economic well-being of citizens. Evidence abound that there is a relationship between the rise in criminality and the economic climate of a country. In this case, insecurity and the economic climate is pushing citizens to the brink.

The electoral campaign we are witnessing may be the most social media intensive election campaign ever in the history of Nigeria.
