Political bullying is a major problem for Nigeria during elections.
Over the years, it has resulted in many bad things such as loss of life and serious injuries during campaigns or on election days.
As soon as the campaign starts we get the politicians to hire thugs to make dia deals to make sure they say no one wins the election.
Right now, some of the youngsters that politicians often hire as political thugs don’t realize the mistakes and say they don’t shapeshift.
“There’s nothing good about political bullying and I don’t realize that now, not just bullying and tricking Pipo, it’s not good at all.”
“We do all kinds of crazy things for politicians, but what do we get in return? There is nothing to highlight. In fact, at that point, we look at politicians who even hire thugs and tell them we won’t get the job and we’re going to pay.” Sagiru’s tok.
I add that it’s hard to end political bullying completely, but it’s the best solution for well-behaved beta guys to get into politics and relate better to youth when we have a bullying mentality.
“Date one go give di young wey wan do thuggery and beta pipo wey enta policy di chance to unite to defeat bad politicians wey dey use thuggery to win Elections”.
Di man wey get im own family now, lets say most of di young wey dey work as political thugs don’t like or enjoy wetin dem dey do and assuming beta option dey, dem go take am.
It is also said that the main reason political thugs are successful, especially on Election Day, is because they are sent to polling places by security, they are usually small and outnumbered by thugs.

Sagiru tok says that my journey towards political bullying started in my neighborhood many years ago and I and many odes started as stubborn children who didn’t hear anything.
“Na dat stubbornness that politicians want and na wetin dem wan make us use help to achieve selfish desire.”
E tok say that politicians are divided in two; In the first group, note that if they win the election, they go help thugs live in beta dia and in the second group, own dia na only to use thugs for selfish purposes.
“A lot of times the second set of own day not just to lie, say to go help him, but in the real sense, they just want to continue to use him as a bully when the election comes around.”
‘My mission to stop political bullying for Kano’
Sagiru said that he wouldn’t think he would sit down with the politicians to solve the problem of political bullying.
E dey de di posición dice di clave para resolvar di probleme di thug politicians na di thugs themselves.
“If you make a deal with the politicians they will most likely say they will go bankrupt so do whatever it takes for siddon with the thugs and make them see reason and give them options.”
“Na why we decided to form a group when we called ‘Kano ba banga’ (Kano against political bullying) to see how we fit together to solve this problem.”
The young man says that all the political strongholds in Kano get the main political bully to take over the bullying activities for them.
Sagiru says they are going to continue working to see the political bullying of Kano being one of the biggest and most important states for Nigerian elections, be reduced.
