Nigerian music video director, ThankGod Omori Jesam, popularly known as TG Omori, recently expressed his skepticism towards democracy. He believes that power-hungry individuals exploit the poverty prevalent in the continent to manipulate and purchase votes during elections. He opined that a monarchical system of government might be more suitable than democracy.
TG Omori's perspective came to light during his appearance on the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast. In discussing his views on Nigeria, he disclosed that he did not participate in the elections, deliberately abstaining from voting. He elaborated on his lack of belief in democracy, describing it as a "freaking scam," particularly in Africa, where affluent individuals can manipulate the system to their advantage. TG Omori emphasized that as long as hunger remains a powerful tool, democracy will continue to have a price tag.
The 28-year-old video director also shared his personal experiences of witnessing people selling their votes during his younger years. He believes that this practice underscores the influence of hunger and poverty on the electoral process in Africa.
