True or False?

Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan enjoys an 81% approval rating says U.S. polling organization, Gallup. In addition, according to the organization, 64% of Nigerians approve of the country’s leadership.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s ratings was similar to the positive ratings of other African leaders though his was higher than average. Other featured African Presidents include the President of Botswana who enjoys an 81% approval rating and the President of Guinea who enjoys an 80% approval rating. The President of Angola received the lowest approval rating at just about 16%. Check out the full rating table here:

If they had said "approval ratings by the international community" then I'll say TRUE, but the average Nigerian does NOT agree with this. The average Nigerian hasn't benefited "directly" from GEJ leadership just like his predecessors. Let's look at it this way

1. Boko Haram menace - Like how many bombs and its victims has it claimed?

2. Oil subsidy removal (though I support it, but the timing and approach was WRONG)

3. Oil subsidy SCAM (Marketers, NNPC folks and their like should have been roasting in Jail, YET nothing)

4. Almost every sector in Nigeria needs sanity,

I can continue to go on and on, but for someone to tell me he's enjoying an 81% is just plain LIES. I do not agree with the statement, therefore, as to your question, the answer is FALSE.

^^^Exactly my thoughts too.
I don't believe this represented the true feeling of Nigerians.

The Gallup poll or whatever was obviously paid for. Else I challenge them to go ahead and provide further details. Sample space - margin of error, etc.

Less than 40% of Nigerians approve of his govt. And even amongst those who "approve", many only do so cos they prefer him to a northerner.

I have always made the case that even if the South or South-South wanted to rule, what we've seen so far under Jona is far from being the best that the region can offer.
And he knows so himself.

I agree

Now we know where beaf has been.
Maybe he was rigging this gallop poll deciiding whom to vote and whom to chase away from the polling booth.

ITS A PAID ADVERTORIAL BY THE PDP GANG

na today yansh dey back I beg ma I hear better News that poll is nothing but the doing of paid international PRO to me personally I think he is a good man

He he. U can't get that number even in Bayelsa. Statistical parody.

Gallup captured the true reflection of how Nigerians feel about Jonathan

One thing am certain about is am ain't among those that approves the retardeen's handling of situations in this country.

here we go again, im sure the poll is accurate; since i have stated again and again that a few people can only take hold of a whole nation such as nigeria and hold it hostage and rule over it for so long and plunder it so ruthlessly with no consequences and for so long without the tacit approval of the people!

what about all those drum beatings and dances yall have anytime there's a new ruler...no matter how he gets there, guns of politics


pls. i have also tried to inform nigerians that they r some of the most self-unaware group in the world!

so, no one should be surprised...it is known in psychology that there is quite often a huge difference between what people say they feel and their actual feeling. lol

Arrant nonsense

They probably polled his fellow politicians.

lies! lies!!lies!!!.
andy uba the then special adviser to obasanjo was caught in usa over money laundry via our presidential jet -what happened? america collected all the money and let the idiot come home to a compromised ribadu that told us it was a civil case.

Maybe they meant 18%

Unfortunately this story is only credible if it criticizes GEJ....Left, right and center I see MUGUS

Its actually "galloping" poll! oshisko!

INSULT UPON INJURY

Great! whomever conducted or concocted this fake result, may his life be as good or as RUINED as Nigeria is...whatever is the true picture.

I agree completely with you. The poll must be accurate and reflective of Mama Ngozi's view of the current leadership especially given that her three daughters are now forced to walk 6 miles to school since the oil subsidy grand theft removal. I'm sure the poll also includes the thoughts of Musa who by streak of unlucky fate happen to have lost an eye to the ugly menace of Boko Haram.... perhaps you are even right...none of these guys mean what they say, all those screaming blood of how tired they are about the incessant pains and burdens visited on them by their leaders only do so for the media attention...they all seceretly admired the president's bowler hat and his 1 billion naira appetite..


You know what? I've infact just spoken to 4 of my friends and the 4 of them voiced their approval for President Jonathan, never mind they've not been to Nigeria before, who cares?....I should now publish the results of my findings about how 100 percent of Nigerians approve of the President's leadership!

They must be crazy.............Have we forgotten about the Fuel Subsidy matter? That issue is still boiling HOT and no way GEJ can have such high approval rating.....

anything GEJ gives some people e-rectio-n.

Hah!
I dey laff!

Tis set of statistics was probably collated from MEND and other creek militants.

It's hightime we realised that
only ACN & CPC supporters critisize GEJ. Poll is correct.

Ofcourse now.

Rubbish!!

The poll is correct.I ran a poll on GEJ amoung ma friends,about 10 of them.8 appoved of GEJ.

doctokwus: Maybe they meant 18%

Or rather 8.1%.

Probably True, Cos most of Nigerians crying foul now will Still vote him come 2015. Again, dey'll be votin for goodluck not pdp. Again, dey can't vote for any northerner Cos dey 're religious bigots. Again, GEJ 'll be d best alternative of d pack! Bunch of hypocrites!

THE research was conducted only in Otuoke, Bayelsa. lol
