In a post shared on his Instagram page, the comedian, whose real name is Francis Agoda, warned Nigerians to be wary of politicians who, in a bid to gain public sympathy and votes, resort to staged displays of humility.
Listing the humility, he mentioned buying corn by the roadside, helping market women roast plantains, or eating at local food joints.

He lamented that despite decades of witnessing the same political playbook, Nigerians still fall for these antics. According to him, these “actors” vanish after the elections and reappear only when the next campaign season kicks off.

“2027 dey near… Politicians don dey collect their white native from tailor hand. Very soon now, you go begin see dem for roadside dey buy corn, dey help roast bole with women, enter market like say na dem suffer pass you… Fake humility just to win your heart,” he wrote.
“But once dem win, dem go disappear like spirit. You no go see dem again until next election. Same old script since 1960. No innovation, no sincerity,” he added.

“Na the same format dem Awolowo use that year na una still dey use today. Zero creativity. Zero change. Na why Nigeria still dey where we dey,” he said.
