The acclaimed artist’s remarks have resonated with many, prompting discussions about national loyalty and the complexities of global political relationships.
In a statemen on X, Vector expressed his panic at the apparent support some individuals show towards election processes in countries he perceives as having historically exploited African nations.
He tweeted, “I will never understand Nigerians / Africans who show some form of solidarity with election process in nations that fuck us all for a living,” he wrote, stirring a mix of agreement and backlash from his followers.
The rapper’s statement reflects a growing sentiment among some Nigerians who believe that African nations should prioritize their internal political matters over external influences.

Reacting to his tweet, @diet_diety said, “Vector international politics concerns us all that’s how countries become superpowers by knowing and interfering with world politics’’
Another users @Ussein_Adeh, said, “I don’t get. But you know the truth Bruv!
This country don do me worst..infact this hardest part rn! You don’t get it! Standing solid for the election process in nations doesn’t make you jeopardize people perspective!”
However, this tweet is not Vector’s first foray into political commentary; the rapper has been vocal about various social issues affecting Nigerians, including corruption, governance, and economic disparity. His latest remarks add to the ongoing dialogue about the responsibilities of African citizens in the face of international dynamics and the need for a united front against historical injustices.
