A proposito di questo titolo

 Ayobami Adekojo walked away from corporate life to dive headfirst into one of the most brutal arenas in the world: Nigerian politics. As a political strategist, polling firm founder, and policy advisor, he's worked on presidential campaigns, sat in governors' strategy rooms, and watched history get decided in hallways most people never see. But this conversation goes far beyond elections. We unpack why the Nigerian diaspora fundamentally misunderstands how political power works at home, what actually moves a voter, and why the 2027 election is already decided before most people have even tuned in. Ayobami breaks down: The biggest misconception about Nigerian politicians: "They're some of the smartest people in the country" The real mechanics of power: wards, delegates, governors, and the machine The flat rate: what every presidential candidate quietly pays delegates Why the average Nigerian voter wants something elites would never expect How social media has quietly made politicians more accountable than ever The EndSARS autopsy: the vacuum, the bad actors, the moment it slipped The 90 minutes inside the PDP primary that handed Atiku the ticket How Tinubu outplayed Osinbajo, Amaechi, and Buhari to win APC The Emefiele playbook: hubris, dollars, and why he didn't flee The 2027 prediction: "The easiest reelection in 19 years" The honest autopsy of 2023: why Peter Obi split the vote and couldn't win Why Atiku and Obi on the same ticket was the only path to beating Tinubu What the diaspora must understand before running for office back home This isn't just about Nigerian politics. It's a masterclass on how power actually moves in a country that punishes naïveté at every turn.
