I was always of the opinion that the Population and Housing Census should have been planned to hold before the elections due to the fallouts that may likely occur. Even before the elections, a good proportion of the citizens have always questioned the essence of the census since the government cannot even do the most basic of their responsibilities.

With all of the transgressions that happened with the elections, a number of people have flat out aired their opinion that they would not be taking part in the census, justifying it by the refusal to allow them participate freely in the elections as residents. Something like this will defeat the purpose of the census.

I think the NPC will need to do a lot of re-orientation and pacification to sell the importance of this Census to the citizens. Otherwise, they may end up with scanty data or false data.

We will survive

I will not be counted unless I am in my state of origin during census.
