Nigerian Lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju has advised young Nigerians to channel their energy into more productive activities instead of following politicians around ahead of the 2027 general elections
He made the remarks on X, as political activities begin to gather momentum across the country, warning that such engagements often do not translate into meaningful personal progress.
According to him, spending years following politicians around is not a wise or rewarding use of time.
He also noted that many young people who attach themselves to political figures, even those who eventually get appointments, still struggle financially and find it difficult to sustain their basic needs.
He said: “Go back to school and get a MSc or PhD. Don’t waste 4 more years doing nothing.
“It’s better to buy a deep freezer to be selling ice block as a side hustle than following Nigerian politicians up and down. Do something tangible with your life.
“Nothing will come out of following politicians around. Almost all the people I know following politicians up and down since 2010 are still poor and jobless.
“The ones in government following politicians around are also hungry and can barely pay their bills.
“Following politicians up and down doesn’t end well generally.”
