Candidates With The Highest Number Of Supporters May Not Necessarily Win by peeJ1: 10:17am On Jan 20, 2015
I noticed something and i feel i should share it
with you.

I've been meeting people and when we get to talk
about
the 2015 General Election, i noticed it's always a
two
sided affair as expected- the GEJ and the GMB
supporters.

I also noticed that for every 10 people i meet, 6 are
backing GEJ for 2015, while 4 are backing GMB.

Something else drew my attention, i was able to
find out
that out of those 6 supporting GEJ;
2 don't have a voters card,
2 have but are not willing to vote,
the remaining 2 have voters card and will vote.

Now, in the case of GMB, the case is quite
different,
even tho the odds doesn't really favour him having
4
supporters out of every 10, he may well be on the
winning end if GEJ supporters don't get serious.

Now
listen carefully, tho GMB has only 4 supporters as
compared to GEJ 6 out of every 10. All of GMB's 4
are all willing to vote.

My conclusion is that at the end of the election,
the
winner will not be the man that has more
supporters, the
winner will be the man with more vote.

Doesn't matter how many of you want GEJ or
GMB, if
you do not vote, you may well be building castles
in the
air.
Visit any INEC office today and get your Permanent
Voters Card (PVC).
It is your vote that really
counts,
not just the supports and shoutings in the sun
during
campaigns.
Talk is cheap, if you really want him you will vote
him.

Support your candidate by VOTING!

All we want is #Change. Nigeria must be better. Elect Buhari/Osinbajo before Nigeria is stolen as well.

I'm wondering ooo

Recently have been doing sampling everywere I go and find people in group(With PVC) and the ration is always arnd GMB 7: - GEJ:3..

Just even check on Nairaland each time some ask for Like for GMB and share for GEJ I notice the ratio of GMB is always higher..

Even out of those wanting to vote for GEJ they feel they their vote won't count even if they vote GMB cos of "Incumbeny powers"

I really hope GEJ won't perform IBB stunt..

Even where i go the ratio is GEJ 8: GMB 2...buhari's two come from those who are mostly nairalanders without PVCs...Then you have the block votes from SE/SS.

Self-deceit and delusions of grandeur.


Whoever has decieved you should be scourged, drawn and quartered! FYI, it's Buhari's, supporters that are more motivated to collect their PVCs, at least as far as lagos is concerned. Funny enough, judging from reports from my home state (delta), the general would get a sizable number number of votes, but not the majority , especially in the urban centres.

Again with the sampling, my sampling has been 8:2 in favor of GMB. Another sampling you can take a look at is any online poll, GMB trouncing GEJ like crazy. All these unscientific sampling do not mean anything, it all depends on the kind of people you know and location.
