i dey laugh oh. 

It appears these BB fans know little about the determinants of electoral victory at the national level. I have interviewed literate BB fans in lagos and shockingly discovered that 80% of these fans dont even know the party logo. So wetin go happen for rural area now? kai it appears we will have 2 presidents after april 9; One  for the internet which of course will be BB, while the actual president on ground will be GEJ.

They have helped provide cheap popularity by singing PDP's "UMBLERRA" while ignoring their own logo. How ironic. 

It is so sad for Nigeria on whole  - and at the end of day we are all going to be losers if 80% of eligible voters are all illiterate - I witnessed once at polling both where an old man was asking his handlers which one should i thumb print.

If you had said illiterate fans dont know the CPC logo then your post would have made sense but saying the literates are ignorant of the the CPC logo is a lie and an insult to anyone you call a Literate Person

Actually it is quite possible that there will be literate people who don't know what the logo of CPC is. It is not about them being able to read or not. They simply don't know what the logo is.

Very few have even seen the logo. To make matters worse, majority who have seen the logo have no idea about what the logo represents! What message is the logo passing across? Take a look at parties like ACN and PDP. You do not need a pastor to preach any sermon about what the logo represents. But CPC ?!

I hope you know what you are talking about? My theory is hinged on the thinking that a large proportion of rural/illitrate voters will have to be properly enlightened on how their "love" for Buhari translates into votes for him. In election periods like this its taken for granted that the party Logo has been made visible enough that the average literate voter knows it anywhere. In this case of CPC at least at the moment it is not so. When ACN started there was a sustained publicity of the "broom" so that street support can translate to votes.

The logo is a pen that actually looks more like a Dagger(bugashi/jihad)

Same thoughts here. Anytime I see the logo, I remember SHARIA!!!

i thought the CPC logo was a light blue canvass with an inscription of CPC in black  - hence this makes theory invalid  , knowing what the logo is not - i say, is not relevant  - therefore i am guessing that many would looking for the word CPC or the name Buhari which i believe is well known around the country

So how many people for kaura namoda,katsina ala, gombe,kabba,ikot epkene sabi that one na?

I have brought this out to show that a lot of Buhari's rural supporters will vote "wrongly" on election day.

Buhari will hold gej responsible 4 dis

While this could be true its very worrisome and even before now I did think to myself that the CPC do not have any symbol.emblem that will enable a lot of illiterate voters vote them or something that  makes them to stand out on ballot papers.Very worrisome indeed.The Concept wasnt well thought out in designing the party flag.logo unlike the case with ACN and PDP

can someone paste the logo here?

^^^^^^^

No try am o.
To paste IBN AYATOLLA BUHARI logo for my thread? No try am. Anyway if you see any dagger for ballot paper, that one na im be CPC.

Hahahahahahaha.

This thread has proven beyond reasonable doubt that "A lot of people do not know the CPC logo"

It took a long time before ACN was able to register the broom in the minds of supporters and CPC thinks they can just come overnight and get the same result. That tells us just how "good" a strategist Buhari is. BB team please tell more people about the UMBLERRA story. The voters need to hear that story.

Hersc the logo 4 U

Here is the logo 4 U

@OP
very true and funny. They even forgot to publicise their logo.

This is some serious shizzle o.

I just did the survey in my office and in all, an average of one in five people know CPC's logo.

Popular logos were 'Umblerra' and the Broom!

The logo is a pen that actually looks more like a Dagger(bugashi/jihad)

Goodluck to your LIFE, You are blessed

the cpc logo is a pen, a focus on education

nuff said

And so they drove off the cliff.

80% of what number of people did you interview.
And even if they don't know the logo, cant they read CPC?
My guy there is the element of miracle here that will shift the whole thing the BB way. With free and fair elections, forget it; Jonathan can do nothing. Except they go the usual style: The Owu style; the Do or Die politics.

Olorun O de ni fun won se.

BB for 2011!!!

^^^^^^^^

You have already conceeded defeat.

If you are depending on a miracle then say so. you have said that anyway. If in the end you lose it will only mean that the miracle you were expecting did not happen, not that it was rigged.

However can identify "PDP", "ACN" logo or name will be able to identify CPC as well. CPC in Nigeria today from North to West is a name that attracts people's attention. If you look at the logo, it captures the name as well - very unique. It is going to be very easy for anybody to recognise. Even if some people make

Even a blind f[i]oo[/i]l will be able to tell when h/she sees the logo!

Besides are votes cast based on the knowledge of the party's logo? If I'm confused, all I need to do is ask . . .

People are just dumb

@na_so

Bros, you for lef matter!
The very same thought has crossed my mind, but I no wan post am before okubras begin wear coat! LOL!

GEJ needs to sort the Imams, there is just one more Friday to go. Tell dem say CPC logo na umblerra and pen na for America and zionists!

OP, you are correct. Yesterday on the news on NTA they actually went asking people to describe the logo of PDP, CPC and ACN, most people knew what PDP (obviously) and ACN were, many didn't know what CPC was.


If the ballot boxes are to include the logo ALONE, many people may not be able to vote for BB if they wish to. Maybe in the North they will be able to spot the logo without having the words CPC in full view.


They really need to think fast.

@Beaf

I understand what you mean, sincerely i thot about that too, as in why tell you enemy where he is failing, but I feel the election is in the bag already for GEJ. Even if they start massive sensitisation now, they lack the structure to penetrate the key rural areas.

@ujujoan

Before you start the usual NL style of veiled or open abuse may be you need to read my post again and understand.

 If the name PDP,ACN,CPC is not written on the ballot papers,how many literate voters will be able to locate the party they intend to vote for by identifying the corresponding symbol/logo? When you answer this question you will be able to appreciate what will happen to illitrate voters in rural areas who will depend wholly on the symbols.

@londoner
thanx. you said it all.

PDP is a popular party and it's only natural that people will be more familiar with their logo. But that won't make someone who doesn't support them vote for them!

Don't you think a guide will be at pooling centers to show which logo represents which party?

As right as you are that people are not too familiar with party logos, the idea that it somehow spells defeat is just plain dumb!

@Ujujoan, I dont remember saying it will spell defeat.

The fact is that many people are not very familiar with the logo, especially as they are not used to the party (which is relatively new). I know that people will obviously know what the PDP logo looks like.


I have to say though, ACN has made an effort to make sure that people know the broom is synonymous with them.


In every rally that I have seen them in the crowd is full of brooms in hand. Being in the Uk I do not have any exposure to any posters etc of any Nigerian political party, but ACN has made an effort.


Very effective.

In all the many thread here showing crowds and crowds of Buhari supporters, I cant say I have noticed any pronounced effort in this regard. Especially in places where Buhahi has not held rallies or he has not targeted aggressively, it may be difficult for those late deciders to identify his party.

Not everbody is a staunch supporter of the party who they will eventually vote for, it could even be one one issue or even a protest vote against PDP, maybe those people will have an easier time recognising ACN on the ballot box.

In an election which may be in the hands of those on the fence, this becomes important.

Isn't it curious that the same NTA that refused CPC air time is now going around trying to assess people's awareness of the party's logo?  Which devil are they serving?
