It is irrelevant in Naija elections.

A tinubu miscreant is in pain hence the long epistle.
The fact the obi wins all opinion polls online means that most literate and enlightened people who understands what leadership is all about are solidly behind obi.

I like your choice of words, "IN A TWIST OF EVENT", which can also mean rigging and other election malpractices other than that, the online voting is a true reflection of the on ground reality. What you see as the outcome of the online voting and expression of people's choice is not far from the truth of what you will see in a few days time.

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.








Anap polls v not gotten it wrong.

They v been right till date.

Anap has projected in their polls the that Obi will win the 3rd time

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

Obidients are daft. When did anap call every registered voter? And bantupage did not visit every local government. These are lies.
Lies because you are not exposed or educated enough to either know the happenings in your country or understand polling methodologies.
America is not Nigeria. You cannot poll the opinion of electoral college. If the election was conducted in Nigeria, Clinton would have won.
Believe whatever that makes you happy.

Online poll victory is nothing more than a joke,
Going from one church to another saying muslim-muslim should be rejected is a personal opinion
Visiting and dancing with masquerades is just a drama
Praying like muslim in the north is ordinary hypocrisy, Islam reject hypocrites totally



The only thing that matter is queues on Saturday and who the people voted

Online Polls are not 100% accurate but if out of 10 opinion polls 7 are pointing in a particular direction, then you can't discount them.

Also opinion polls posit the voice of the people ceteris paribus all other things being equal. If there is massive voter turnout nationwide, there is no voter buying or intimidation and elections are free and fair, then barring any unforeseen occurrence, polls will align with the eventual vote.

Saying opinion polls don't matter is another classical APC misinformation tactic. APC is striving to do anything no matter how underhanded to stay in power knowing that they have failed woefully in delivering on their promises.

A joke that has been correct since 2011 is no more a joke unless you have a strange concept of the word "joke".
Delusion is when reality is stearing you on the face and you deny it because it doesn't favour you.

I knew it! The different nonsense polls Mods have been pushing to nairaland front page of LATE is just to DISCREDIT all the AUTHENTIC AND TRUSTED and INTERGRITY POLLS whose results have shown that Peter Obi will win with a WIDE MARGIN.

I even posted a comment that this was thier end game and gbam! Urchins are very predictable with thier bullsh***t propaganda..

Online polls don't matter?

In 2011, GEJ won all online polls. 2011 ANAP/NOI polls, GEJ won.

In 2015 then General Buhari cleared all online Polls. 2015 Elections ANAP/NOI Polls, Buhari won.

In 2019, ATiku won on most "Twitter polls", but ANAP/NOI polls still gave it to Buhari.

ANAP/NOI polls projects that Peter Obi will win 2023 elections. Peter Obi is winning every online poll available.

On Saturday..... Well, Saturday isn't far.

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.
