Nigerian singer Skales has sparked reactions online after expressing strong dissatisfaction with the current political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The conversation started after media personality Oseni Rufai asked on social media who people would be voting for in the next presidential election.
In response, Skales stated that he does not intend to vote for any candidate.
“To be honest none!!!”
When questioned further by another user suggesting that such a position means he may not have done enough research on available candidates, Skales doubled down on his stance, saying:
“I don’t see any good candidate that can take this country to a better place.”
His comments quickly generated mixed reactions online, with some users agreeing with his frustration while others criticized the idea of disengaging from the electoral process.
In other news… Social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reacted to the remand of activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore at Kuje Correctional Centre.
In a post shared online, VDM criticized the Nigerian justice system, alleging that the circumstances surrounding Sowore’s remand raised concerns about fairness and due process.
According to him, the charges against Sowore were linked to comments made about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and he questioned the court’s decision to revoke the activist’s bail.
“Omoyele Sowore has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Center until Wednesday. All I can see here is corruption in the justice system of Nigeria. According to the charges he called President Tinubu a t!ff and they asked him to prove it. He was in court but the court revoked his bail and claimed he was never in court, even though there was video evidence.”
The remarks quickly generated reactions on social media, with users expressing differing opinions on both Sowore’s case and VDM’s comments.
Some reactions gathered online include:

“It’ll take 20 years for Nigeria to be better, bkus in the next two decades most of these old takers go don answer the clarion call.”
@austylno3
“Tomorrow they will tell you Tinubu fought for democracy when his busy looking for appointment from Abacha.”
