For where? This does not represent what is on the ground.

The elites whom Thisday must have interviewed do not do the voting, the poor people do.
And these are the people thronging to receive Buhari everywhere.

Buhari has no support in the SE, SS, and practically no support in SW. His core supporters are in the North. He may even lose parts of the Middle Belt. So enough with that nonsense.

He will be able to get that percentage not because of PDP, but PDP will lose a lot more states. That will be the pattern. Buhari is held like an anathema in the South so his popularity base is very narrow. For Ribadu its a no show.

I enjoy reading from Beaf because he appears to be very intelligent despite all the Beafings he encounters on NL.

Re: Jonathan Leads With 60%,pdp May Lose 4 States by hackney(m): 6:32pm On Mar 22, 2011
Cant help but think that any president vying for a second term will always get it.
The contrary has never happened since independence.

(they just hijack every aspect of the election while the masses show passion for good contestants that have no chance
in the back room)

Still, the poll has a lot of value. Especially given that it was done by Ipsos. This is an international firm with lots of experience polling.

Ipsos 4 Nija no be the normal Ipsos oooo, Oyinbo wey be say go look me and look you and say we resemble each other,  (are you cousins) yeah we are, 

If den go Oojuelegba sure they must have asked the same person walking up and down 20 times not realising its the same person,  LOL,


I remember Jimmy Carter (OBJ's padi as an observer giving his views about a polling centre he visited during the last election), he said, I went home late after polls closed, the turnout was very low at this centre, but when they started counting I started to think back (did we have this many people voting at this particular centre), Hmmmmmm 9ija 9ija,

den don stuff the yeye box, hmmmmmmmm (Akala styleeeee)

Ipsos ko, na Iponri, or Ijora,  LOL

Nduka u don start again, money don land your account, Omo ita, Behd boy, wey no wan grow up,  embarassed I begii this nor be "This Day Concert" nor come sharara/shakara us for here joooooo with Ipsos yawa jooooo, Filee', dont toshit,  lipsrsealed u see Jay Z or Beyonce for hia

Poll or no Poll, Jonathan will win, His Popularity is overwhelming, Known by Market Women, Professionals and others. It is a clear fact that Jonathan will win and that is why the PDP is trying to take advantage of his Popularity in Lagos to sway vote for the PDP governorship candidate but it is not working and it won't work because Lagos is working.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard."
-- Henry Mencken

The Ides of March are indeed here. In less than 3 weeks, Nigerians will go to the polls to decide (nominally at least) who will lead them. We shall all see whether the elections will be free and fair. The clock is ticking.

To tell the truth, I am not surprised at the results of the Thisday/IPSOS poll. As distasteful as it sounds, the facts on the ground favour the PDP. The truth is, it does have the resources and structures to win. Sad but true. It is galling that the opposition could not get it together and form a viable coalition to struggle for power. BUT THERE COULD YET BE A TWIST IN THE TALE. The key thing though is this: THE ELECTIONS MUST BE, AND MUST BE SEEN TO BE FREE AND FAIR. Despite his many faults, ex-HOS M. Buhari is spot on in highlighting the implications of free and fair elections, a point which is perhaps lost on many listeners: Nigerians will have to live with the consequences of their choices (particularly at the federal level) for the next 4 years.

It is those consequences which give cause for concern. We can all be assured that the hell Nigeria is at the moment is nothing compared to what lies ahead in the next four years if the PDP is voted in. The signs are crystal clear. On this board, there are a few die-hard supporters of the GEJ regime, men (and women too! grin) who have made it a point of duty to excuse and rationalize the many failures and excesses of the PDP-led administrations of the past 12 years. These people are clearly being paid to defend the indefensible, and I have nothing to say to them. There are also some of my countrymen & women on this board who do not live in Nigeria, and perhaps ignorantly, have decided to cast their lot with the ruling party. For this group I feel a mild irritation, but some education about the realities on the ground is usually enough to put them right.

My greatest contempt and ire however, is reserved for those of my country people who live here, work here and feel the fire, (day after day, night after night, 365 days a year) and perversely, still want to vote for 4 more years of serfdom. If this is not an advanced case of the Stockholm syndrome, I do not know what is. Nigerians rolled over and allowed deeply flawed elections to take place in 2003 & 2007. The cack-handed and duplicitous Obasanjo administration failed to deliver on so many counts, before “handing over” to the UMYA administration in 2007. That administration also failed to deliver, although interestingly, its many failures are scarcely remembered today (largely because of the death of UMYA). Truly, death forgives all.

The circle is now complete. Those who have ears - let them hear. Over the next 4 years, the PDP (if voted in next month) will carve up the commonwealth (on a scale never seen before) into little fiefdoms for party hacks to do with as they see fit, no questions asked. Over the next 48 months, the PDP will engage in the annual hollow ritual of passing budgets in which recurrent expenditure dwarfs capital expenditure (and the last week of the year in every federal ministry records more activity than the previous 51 weeks. The initiated know what i’m talking about here). The diesel & generator mafia will get even stronger despite energy & power tariff and price hikes. For at least part of the next 208 weeks, there will be a spike in violent crime, as those guns and bullets brought in to “persuade voters” find their way into general circulation and are then used to separate Nigerians from their property.

When these things start happening, I will personally curse out anyone on this board who complains, particularly if their posting records indicate that they were pro-PDP in the runup to the elections. Yes sirs, we must live in the hell we have created without whimpering or murmuring.

Actions have consequences. We must never forget that.

The poll is crap at it's best, wonder how Nigerians could be so so dumb to want GEJ as their president SMH in utter disbelief,

ThisDay newspaper has been known for this ignoble business with PDP. Any time there is election in Nigeria, this paper usually go to town with concocted lies as opinion polls that is usually done in their hotel room and some Ghana Must Go bags from Aso-Rock filled with money to deceive Nigerians. This Day is one of the media organisations in Nigeria that should be taken as enemies of democracy and people of Nigeria.

What Nduka Obaigbena through ThisDay has done is to jump-start the rigging process for PDP so as to sow seed of confusion in people's mind b4 elections are held. Nduka Obaigbena should tell us where he conducted his opinion polls. With all that have been happening in GEJ campaigns, it will be idiotic to say that Jonathan would win the election by a whopping 60%! Is Obaigbena telling us that Jonathan will win North-East and South-West? Where did he get his figures from? This is just corruption in the highest order.

This is one of the reasons why Freedom of Information law is very paramount because if the law is now in operation Nigerians could easily ask Obaigbena to make known all the data he used to roll out his concocted figures for his ignoble polls.

Obaigbena is an example of Nigerians that should be stoned on the Streets of Nigeria for his conspiracy against Nigerians and Nigerian democracy. What Obaigbena has done is like a coup de-tat against our democracy. I am not saying that opinion polls should not be done. In fact I would like to see more of it but it must be credible and not a cash & carry business that Obaigbena has been doing for PDP since 2003.

WHY DO THE HEATHENS RAGE AND IMAGINE A VAIN THING?
HE THAT SITTETH IN THE HEAVENS IS LAUGHING

Jonathan's luck is only useful for supplanting his principals
He has never won any election in his life
HE ISN'T WINNING THIS ONE EITHER.
A word they say is enough for the wise.
