It is easy to see why someone like Dayo Amusa would feel disillusioned, as Nigerian politics often demands deep pockets and compromises that can quickly deplete a celebrity’s personal resources and social capital. While some celebrities genuinely want to drive change, the system is notoriously structured to favor patronage over policy, which often leads to them being used more for their influence to mobilize crowds rather than for their actual vision. Realistically, genuine service becomes incredibly difficult when the political entry cost is so high, as it creates a cycle where participants are more focused on recouping their investments than serving the public interest. However, I believe that celebrity involvement can still be valuable if it focuses on grassroots advocacy and voter education rather than direct political candidacy. Ultimately, true change will likely require systemic reform that makes running for office accessible to people with great ideas but limited financial means, rather than just those with deep pockets.
