The Candidate Test: How to Spot a Fake Leader Before You Vote: Mass Reader Edition

Nigeria has a hiring problem. You verify a "London-used" phone for three hours before you buy it. You ask for references before you employ a house help. But on election day you hand your future to a man whose certificate you have never seen. Adaeze interviews fifty candidates a month at her Lagos bank — she would never hire without a CV screen, reference calls, and background checks. Last election she voted for a senator she had never investigated. The Mass Reader Edition of The Candidate Test gives you seven tests to run on any candidate before you vote: CV audit, wallet test, team check, debate test, the final exam.
