Nigerian outlet The Nation released an article on Thursday that coins a new term: "Bannonized," meaning to destroy.
The article titled "Why Tinubu is being ‘Bannonized’" discusses Nigerian political figure Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The article reads: "Aside from Nigeria, I don’t think any presidential candidate in any of the prominent countries in recent history has been attacked with so much viciousness.
"Donald Trump versus Hilary Clinton comes close. In the United States, ahead of the 2016 presidential election, there were campaigns to stop her from becoming the first female president of the country. Steve Bannon, from whom I coined the term ‘bannonized,’ was employed for that hatchet job. And he did it very well.
The article describes Bannon as "an American media executive and political strategist who was hired by Trump for the sole aim of mudslinging."
"He threw so much dirt at Mrs Clinton that it almost became part of her. The term ‘crooked Hilary’ became like a slogan of the supporters of Trump. Bannon once said that 'my goal is that by November 8, when you hear her name, you’re gonna throw up.' It is the same thing that the Nigerian version of Bannons seek to do to Tinubu. They want to make him a pariah. They want people to hiss whenever they hear his name.'"
