Days after the result of the 2023 presidential elections were announced, popular Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa took to her social media timeline to share her opinion on cyberbullying, especially those trying to force their candidates on others.

In a lengthy statement, Toke compared cyberbullies to thugs on the streets who bully people if they refuse to vote for their candidate.

She said:

“From bullying people who stayed quiet for reasons only known to them (they don’t owe you anything), to bullying those who spoke but didn’t say what you wanted to hear, then the drama online from some public figures to the countless Instagram lives and the need to fight everyone who didn’t support your choice of candidate, what exactly is the problem????”

Toke further appealed to social media users to stop complaining about election violence as there was not much difference between them and thugs on the streets aside from the fact that they are educated and have access to data.

She said:

“Vote your vote and focus on your focus. There is really no difference between you and the thugs at polling units, just data and education as Darey put it.”
