Any person supporting Obi to win presidential election with a mushroom party and ethno-religion campaign strategy is hallucinating and will come back to his/her senses latest on Sunday.

Agreed. Even in the US online polls said Hillary Clinton was going to win but Donald Trump won. Talkless of a country like nigeria where online does not represent what the vast majority

Are you aware that Clinton actually won the popular vote in that election?

In other words, she got a higher number of votes that Donald Trump.

Donald Trump only won her based on Electoral College System of Voting in America.

Since 2011, whoever is the most popular on social media ( i.e getting the highest number of likes and positive comments) end up winning the South.... Northern votes is another ball game entirely. And it tends to change the dynamics.

I think Tinubu will come second in the south (behind Obi) and second in the North (behind Atiku) but will manage to get 25% votes in 24 states (he will definitely not get 25% in most SS/SE states but we get in SW/NW/NE/NC) and have the highest votes overall.

U understand d game....obi might win south but not with big margin as tinubu will do all it takes to make sure he destroys obi sympathy vote in SW while he manages to get a good number of votes in some places in SS and SE.....I think tinubu will have over all in highest in NC maybe with slight margin and he surely will come second too in NE and NW behind atiku, he surely will win some state too in d north......with dis I can project tinubu as d winner too

Obi will do well in SE and SS but will have challenges in SW, he will win NC state of Plateau, Abuja with close margin and maybe benue...I don't see him winning any state in d north and he will encounter difficulties in getting 25% in most northern states......we can't underrate him as he stands a good chance too..

Atiku might win delta or lose it with a very close margin but aside that I don't see him winning any state in d south, he might even encounter difficulties in getting 25% in some southern states, I don't see him winning any NC state, he might have a good outing in kwara, niger and kogi and nasarawa with good margin even if he won't have d overall highest votes.....he won't win all d northern states and he will struggle to win some but in all he will have overall highest in d north with a reasonable margin...

Kwankwaso stand no chance in dis race and d more he refuses to merge with any of APC or PDP the more he do damages to some votes but I don't even see him winning any state in d north and he might not even get 25% in any southern states

Prior to the 2019 Presidential elections there were several online polls conducted, many of those polls predicted the candidate of the PDP, Alh Atiku Abubakar as the winner of the election, however in a twist of event President Muhammad Buhari of the APC won the election.
The 2023 Presidential elections is just three(3) days from now and there have been several online polls predicting who will become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Majority of the polls conducted predict Peter Gregory Obi as the winner, even polls conducted on Nairaland forecasts Obi as the winner.
In my opinion the reality is that all these online polls do not really matter because those who will vote are not even online and we witnessed this in 2019 when Atiku was favoured to be the winner over Buhari.
For example I can say that some of the people who voted on Nairaland Presidential poll have not even attained the legally approved age to participate in an election, there are Nairlanders who are below the age of eighteen (18) and they also voted for the candidate of their choice online but in reality they don't have their PVC talkmore of voting.

Below are some polls conducted on Nairaland prior to the 2019 elections.

Dear Nigerians, the only way your online opinion can really count and become a reality is when you go to your polling units and vote for the candidate of your choice.
Don't just vote online, exercise your right as a Nigerian, your candidate will not win if you only vote online and refuse vote physically.

No talk say I no warn you, no be say you go dey say dem rig election because your candidate win online and no win for election day, e fit be because you no go comot go vote.

VOTE NOT FIGHT!
DON'T SELL YOUR VOTE!

May the best candidate win!!
God bless Nigeria.









Stop lying. None of the credible polls have been online polls. None. Unless you do not know the differecne between reporting the outcome of a poll online and conducting one.

You may be right but not the kind of polls conducted by Bantupage and ANAP.
Bantupage went to every single LGA in Nigeria with the exception of Zamfara state to sample opinion of Nigerians.
ANAP obtained numbers of voters who have collected their PVC and called every one of them using scientific methodologies.
Since 2011, all ANAP polls have been accurate.

The challenge with ANAP Poll is the partial result analysis that gave them out as partial.

You have a very high level of REFUSED AND UNDECIDED (which are more than the declared polls combined together), and you came out with a result that a particular candidate is leading

All Obidients are not ashamed of mentioning the name of their preferred candidates, so, if you have a REFUSED to mention or UNDECIDED yet, it calls for caution in your final report

ANAP Polls predicted Peter Obi's win without the UNDECIDED AND REFUSED. If you add the percentage of REFUSED to all the other candidates, then Peter Obi's lead is gone and he will be trailing at second or third position

Obidients are daft. When did anap call every registered voter? And bantupage did not visit every local government. These are lies.

Hillary actually won the most popular votes but Trump won the electoral college votes, fortunately for us we don’t have electoral college in Nigeria so by that logic it means Obi will win the most popular votes and then declared the winner
A win win for us
