Vector questions solidarity with foreign elections amid US polls

Nigerian rapper Vector has sparked a heated debate on social media by expressing his concerns over Nigerians and other Africans showing solidarity with foreign election processes, particularly the US election.

Vector's tweet pondered why people would show concern for countries that don't reciprocate the same interest in their well-being.

Reactions poured in, with some fans attributing this phenomenon to citizens losing faith in their leaders, while others cited misplaced priorities. However, some fans speculated that the comment from Vector was aimed at fellow artist Davido, who had recently cast his vote in the US election.

Meanwhile, Vector's statement reflects the complexities of global solidarity and the expectations surrounding international relationships. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, questions arise about where to draw the line between showing support and prioritizing domestic issues.

I will never understand Nigerians / Africans who show some form of solidarity with election process in nations that fuck us all for a living.
