Stop Fake Humility, I Go Die Tells Politicians
Popular Nigerian comedian Francis Agoda, widely known as I Go Die, has criticised politicians for staging acts of humility as the 2027 presidential election approaches.
In a post shared on Instagram, I Go Die urged Nigerians to be cautious of politicians who suddenly appear relatable—buying corn by the roadside, eating at local food stalls, or mingling in markets—just to gain votes.
> “2027 dey near… Politicians don dey collect their white native from tailor hand. Very soon now, you go begin see dem for roadside dey buy corn, dey help roast bole with women, enter market like say na dem suffer pass you, chop for mama put like say na their house. Fake humility just to win your heart,” he wrote.
He warned that such gestures often disappear once elections are over:
> “But once dem win, dem go disappear like spirit. You no go see dem again until next election. Same old script since 1960. No innovation, no sincerity.”
