When Nigerians travel abroad, politics can feel remote. After all, you're in a new country, trying to settle down, pay expenses, and plan for the future. However, neglecting local politicians is a huge mistake. Whether you favour politics or not, local officials have a direct impact on your daily life. Local officials impact your surroundings through decisions on housing and schools, as well as policies on healthcare and public transport. If you don't pay attention, you risk living under regulations that do not benefit you.

Many Nigerians are obsessed with Nigerian politics, paying close attention to what happens in Abuja or Lagos, while disregarding politics where they live abroad. But the truth is, the politicians near you abroad, may have a bigger impact on your life, than those back home. For example, local council decisions affect your taxes, housing allocations, waste collection, and even community events. MPs, mayors, and councillors shape policies that determine how immigrants are treated, what opportunities are available, and how funding is distributed. If you don’t engage, you miss the chance to influence decisions that affect you directly.

Engagement does not necessarily include running for office, but that is an option. It includes registering to vote if you are eligible, attending neighbourhood meetings, and staying informed. It entails supporting candidates that understand immigration issues, and advocating for legislation that promote inclusion. Nigerians abroad frequently underestimate the strength of their combined voice. When we organise, we form a powerful voting bloc that politicians can't ignore. However, when we remain mute, we allow decisions to be made for us.

Being politically aware will also protect you. Immigration, healthcare, education, and benefit policies are all subject to frequent change. If you're not paying attention, you can get caught off guard. For example, a new policy may need updating benefit verification, or funding for immigration programs may be reduced. Staying engaged keeps you one step ahead and allows you to adapt quickly. It also helps you avoid spreading misinformation, which is common when people don’t follow official updates.
