#OmojuwaPolls: President Jonathan’s Disapproval Rating Reaches 84 Per Cent

This polls were inspired by some other poll saying over 50 percent of Nigerians approve of the President’s work. That didn’t readily reflect the reality on the streets of Nigeria. That prompted a need to carry out an open online poll. This involved no mathematics or calibrations, just the direct result of how people voted based on whether they think the President is doing well enough or not. Like most conventional polls, we polled 1000 respondents. We didn’t decide who to poll, respondents were at liberty to vote based on their interest in the question. The results are attached below.


Of the 1004 people who answered the question of the poll, 51 people (representing 5% of the sample) said they couldn’t tell if the President was doing a great job, while 114 voters (11%) answered in the affirmative. An overwhelming 839 voters voted ‘No’ representing 84% of the sample. The poll ran in April of 2014.

This is nothing close to perfect but it does represent the views of some 1004 Nigerians who cared enough to answer the question. There is a new poll on the right hand side of this page if you are reading on a non-mobile platform or below this page if you are reading on a mobile platform. Like we did with the polls we didn’t agree with, if you don’t agree with this result, you can conduct a new poll. Just be kind enough to make it as open as we made this. Thank you for taking part in the #OmojuwaPolls

Jonathan Got Drunk As Usual In Brussels? What He Said… by: Dr. Peregrino Brimah

Whenever the President of Nigeria travels overseas to ‘represent’ the nation, its people hold on to their seats fearful of what the outcome will be. So far it has been one of two things; a. President Jonathan gets drunk and is AWOL at his turn; or b. The President gets drunk and inebriated and speaks unhinged, disgracing Nigerians and shocking the world with his utterances.

His recent performances in the US (where he told Obama that for him to fix the world, he must fix Africa, and for Obama to fix Africa, he must fix Nigeria [Man in tank alert!]), Namibia and now in Brussels were the ‘b,’ type. Apparently, stopping himself from getting too drunk to appear as was the order of the day earlier in 2013, when he was noted to have missed his appearance in Ethiopia at the AU’s 50th anniversary and later that year when SaharaReporters broke the embarrassing news to Nigerians that he got drunk celebrating his birthday and missed the Invertors Summit meeting in the United Kingdom; the president this year has been able to show-up (barely), but has made the most depressing, provoking and racist utterances at his external appearances.
