The same way people online hate Dbanj whereas he keeps selling out shows, will be the way Jonathan will win on February 14. You will think that going by the level of hate shown to him by Nairalanders and other blogs, that he will have an empty concert venue, but reverse is the case. In essence, people should stop deceiving themselves just because they have been paid a few thousands, online ratings do not mean actual votes. Nigeria does not start and end online. I want a better Nigeria, but I can't risk the alternative presented by the APC.

There is no point arguing or insulting each other. one man one vote, Feb 14 is 12 days away. My point is just that the percentage of Nigerians online is not up to 10 percent of the total population. About half of the 10 percent are Nigerians in diaspora that won't even vote, whereas some people have already made themselves winners judging by online votes.

I agree that you have concern about APC but I rather try them out this time around. PDP has had 16 years with trillion of dollars to prove themselves but have failed woefully. If APC screw up in the next 4 yrs, they will be voted out. This is the beauty of democracy and we need to start holding our leaders responsible for their actions. I do believe APC will win the next elections because most Nigerians want change and pdp doesn't stand for change.

I understand your point about trying APC as an alternative, but I am not convinced that APC is different from PDP after all, most of their members defected from PDP. To be honest, I am not concerned about what party, I am more concerned about the candidate. I refuse to see any credible intent in the so called alternative. I am not a fan of Jonathan either but going by factual analysis, the underlying threats of presenting this candidate is more scary than the present situation. Please remember that 1 year is enough for a country to digress to worse days talk less of 4 years. I believe that not any change is required but the right change. The alternative doesn't appear to me as the right change.
