Dear NDC @NigeriaNDCHQ, you have to speak up immediately. INEC @inecnigeria is intentionally denying Nigerians from registering for PVC, collecting their PVC'S or transferring their voters card.
Majority of those affected are people that wants to vote for OK, and the NDC.
INEC is intentionally frustrating Nigerians from registering for PVC, collecting their PVC's, or transferring their voters card. From no network, to network failure, to having just one computer, or outright office closure.
It is all intentional and deliberate.
But come to think of it, I have not recently seen or heard any APC chieftain, candidate, or supporter encouraging APC members to go register or collect their voter cards, like the opposition is doing. Especially now that we just have 19 days left.
Well, why should one be afraid of the outcome of the court when his brother is the presiding judge.
I just infiltrated a top info.
Do you want to see what i discovered? Himmmmmmm
2027 opposition politics has just started. Pidom will be blowing hot.
Are you sleeping?
Retweet if you want me to post.
The event is tomorrow.
11:45pm if i am convinced.
For the fifth year in a row, @fijnigeria has been longlisted for the Press Freedom Award of One World Media, a UK-based press organisation reputed for recognising outstanding journalism in the Global South since 1988.👇🏾
Currently Atiku Abubakar is very low on funds. He is seeking for funding to execute his 2027 presidential election campaign. As of today there are no aggrieved governors left in the PDP in either south-south or south-east whom he Atiku could milk for funding, then nominate for VP
On the 16th of March 2026, Pidom will temporarily return back as an investigative journalist.
I will resume the expose of private documents and top secrets i currently have on Abba Kyari vs NDLEA's case.
If Pidom is convinced, and the evidence is overwhelming, i can give all
As a public office holder you should aim at being praised a hundred years after your death.
Personally, that would be my barest minimum.
Getting carried away by the praises of sycophants while you are in office is the greatest disservice you will do to yourself!
Listen more to the critics!
In 2017, a conspiracy theory that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari had died in a London hospital and was replaced with a body double called ‘Jubril’ from Sudan surfaced in popular discourse. This occurred after Buhari had spent three months undergoing medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness. The President’s location outside of Nigeria, in the country that was its former coloniser, gave shape to different versions of the conspiracy theory, with suggestions that British and/or Nigerian political elites were behind the replacement of the President and were hiding his alleged death.
Anxieties around the President were initially provoked by a tweet on 19 May 2017, in which Eric Joyce, a British politician, tweeted that the President was dead. President Buhari had last been seen in public two weeks earlier. Eric Joyce’s tweet triggered Nigerians who were looking to escape a repeat of the power vacuum that had been experienced in the country after the death of a previous sitting president, Umaru Yar’Adua, who died in similar and somewhat mysterious circumstances in 2010.
Narratives that the President was a clone emerged in public discourse following President Buhari's public reappearance and return to Nigeria from the UK in August 2017. The first identified online appearance of the clone conspiracy theory was a YouTube video created by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a secessionist group in southeastern Nigeria, in September 2017. The group had been seizing opportunities during election windows to insert itself into broader political debates by whipping up regional sentiments of marginalisation and political apathy. It had used a range of mainstream and social media channels to call the attention of the international community to its agitations and illegal detention/trial of its leader. The body double conspiracy theory was picked up in the Nigerian media and widely spread through different forms of popular communication in Nigeria, resulting in Buhari publicly acknowledging and confronting the conspiracy theory. On 2 December 2018, Buhari insisted during an event in Poland: ‘It’s [the] real me, I assure you’. The IPOB leader responded, tweeting:
If Buhari is not dead and replaced by Jubril from Sudan, why won't the Nigerian government sue Eric Joyce, a former British lawmaker for peddling lies? They can’t because they know I am speaking the truth. @AsoRock @ericjoyce@NGRPresident@UKParliament@NGRSenate@WhiteHouse
In this article, this conspiracy theory that President Buhari was a clone is addressed as an opportunity to question the superficial confidence with which conspiracy theories have been dismissed as aberrations and negative externalities of digital ecosystems, and their supporters as threats to an ostensibly deliberative public sphere. While not pitched in defence of conspiracy theories, it seeks to examine them without the comfortable protection of post-enlightenment normativity, and to remind how injunctions to ‘speak civil’ or ‘think rational’ tend to reproduce tropes from a colonial past, dismissing or erasing other forms of knowledge/reasoning used to make sense of the world and/or to speak to power.
The arguments and analyses we advance here are closely related to those we presented in a previous article (Gagliardone et al.,

2021), where we empirically illustrated how this explorative, rather than normative, approach allows us to grasp how individuals do not simply fall for, embrace or support a conspiracy theory, but can ‘do’ specific and distinct things with/through them. In that article, we comparatively analysed how conspiracy theories circulating at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic were seized by some Nigerian users and politicians as opportunities to criticise the ruling party, while in South Africa the same conspiracy theories became a vehicle to voice deep-rooted resentment towards the West and corporate interests.
