TG Omori stated this while featuring in the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast.
He said,
“How do I feel about Nigeria? Nigeria is a jungle. I did not vote. I was in SA [South Africa during the elections]. I intentionally didn’t vote.
“I don’t believe in democracy. We were supposed to be led by kings. I feel like democracy is a freaking scam in the sense that super rich people can always buy their way through it. Not around the world but in Africa. As long as hunger is still a tool then democracy will always have a price.”
The video director said he has witnessed people selling their votes when he was younger.
