“What we ordered”: A multimodal framing analysis of the memetic representation of the Obidient movement in Nigeria
1 Introduction
Prior to the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, many Nigerians were already losing hope in democratic governance in the country. This is because the successive national governments run by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) were regularly marred with allegations of corruption and general maladministration (Kreck 2019). However, the emergence of a third political party, the Labour Party (LP), in the 2023 presidential election, brought a shift in the Nigerian political landscape. Many people saw the LP and its candidate, Peter Obi, as a formidable third force, ray of hope and breath of fresh air (Emameh 2020). On his part, Obi leveraged the despicable political situation to portray himself as the coming Messiah by offering to provide what preceding administrations could not give Nigerians.

Nigerian Alternative Heritages
In July, a program funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs titled ‘Nigerian Alternative Heritages’, was launched by IFRA-Nigeria and the Cooperation and Cultural Action Service of the French Embassy in Nigeria. This program will be running until June 2026. It aims to bring together Nigerian and French forces to identify, promote, protect and disseminate “alternative” heritages in Nigeria. They are alternative because they have been forgotten and are therefore in danger of being lost in the long term, or because they are recent productions by minority, marginalized and/or protesting groups, institutions and players. In pursuit of this objective, this program focuses on digitizing and promoting archives at the National Museum of Lagos, those of architect Demas Nwoko at the New Culture Studio in Ibadan, and the militant archives of the Center for Democracy and Development in Abuja. Some of the objects exhibited at the National Museum of Unity in Ibadan and the National Museum of Lagos can be considered as “alternative heritage” because they have a common use and are not considered “artistic” as some other more famous artifacts.
This program is structured around three axes.
- Digitization of photographs of everyday objects at the Nation
