Facebook have become very iniquitous and a big “cyber real
estate”. More than 3 million Nigerians are
currently using Facebook. If Nigeria election
is to be conducted on Facebook it looks like Goodluck Jonathan would have a
home run. In addition he is apparently as popular worldwide as Bill Clinton
among facebook users, of course he has more than 33% of Nigerians that use Facebook as Fans.
Even the Madiba may want to watch his scores with verified facebook likes of 1,932,186
compare to GEJ’s 1,119,570. Even though General Muhammadu Buhari
have fierce followers on the street of Kano and Maiduguri however on the social media network, these have not impacted on his
Facebook fans numbers; just about 10% of the number of GEJ fans. It maybe true what Buhari detractor say that he is a tribal leader and more popular in the far-Northern Nigeria.
Internationally Angel Merkel would be green with envy with the volume of fans GEJ have. She may be wondering why she a leader of one of the World Power bloc could not command such a verified face book like- just 418,222.
Forget Nigeria entertainment Stars! Even though some students would delay purchase of their stipulated
handouts and would rather go for their shows. Most of them do not have fans like Mr
President. Forget those non-verified fan likes. But Jolade Einkede did it, she
is almost as popular as Mr President world-wide but Nigerians at home would
rather care about the man in Abuja.
However the
Presidency would have to watch Tope Alabi, Kokomaster,Wiz-Kid and Don Jazzy
with 523 954,456,186 ,452,950 and 447,947 fans respectively. If it is based on
popularity one of them should be given a ministerial slot.

Wondering
why Nigeria would vilify the president on one hand but click the facebook like
button on the other hand is intriguing. It is near impossible it is the Federal
Civil Servants that have been sent a “powerful memo” to accomplish the task. Some may be suspecting that since he had
But GEJ
would definitely fear the Man of God in Lagos-Pastor Adeboye not just because he has direct access to God
but also because with one word or directive on his face book he would reach as much people as
Mr President.
