Pat Utomi For President In 2007
I know that Pat UTOMI will capture a lot of VOTES from:
the youth
the enlightened
the corporate-world
the academia
the business sector
But I still have my reservation about:
the market women
the bike men
the market trader
As for me, he has my vote!

The Nigerian Press & the Election
It's a known fact that the Nigerian Press/Media Houses have left a lot to be desired; and that there's a need for drastic reforms by its key-players.
That the Nigerian Media/Press is in the "pocket" of politicians is also a known fact.
With a few weeks to this Historic Elections, the Press owe it to Nigerians to portray the TRUE personalities of all aspirants/candidates, with STRONG emphasis on the Presidential aspirants/candidates.
We also need objective and accurate feedback from polling centres on election days; can we rely on the Nigerian media houses to accomplish this?
Agreed, a few media houses have made remarkable inputs with objective coverage; but for some media houses to "praise" known corrupt politicians is going too far.
Among other things, the Nigeria Press/Media Houses will be a good avenue to educate the populace about the need to change our MORAL VALUES in Nigeria for better.
Since the Press do not seem to know what is expected of them, can we as Nairalanders, in our usual manner, LIST out the QUALITIES we DESIRE in an IDEAL MEDIA HOUSE.
Maybe, they'll take a CUE from us . . .
MAYBE. . .!

Opinion polls & Rigging?
We have GSM almost at every nook & cranny of Naija.
Text messages, emails, online voting.
Free or premium-priced sms will serve to encourage respondents.
Information/adverts placed on TV, radio, newspaper, bill-boards, flyers, posters, multimedia adverts, etc are but a few.
Some media houses did something similar during international beauty pageants, etc.
All it needs is the right publicity mix, the right media noise at d right places portraying the importance and benefits of same should pull a good level of participation by the populace.
Internet access is also there; at most multiple entries from a singular cell-phone or computer IP address culd serve as a check to disqualify such.
It can be done!
Just a thot!

Opinion polls & Rigging?
Conducting An Opinion Polls Will Stop Rigging?
Let the MEDIA conduct an OPINION POLLS fast!
I wonder why uptill now the Nigerian Media houses havent thought it PROPER to conduct a GENERAL OPINION POLLS in this country like it's done in other places?
This has lots of Advantages and it's also an avenue to allow the aspirants re-strastegize, if need be.
All these while, we have been hearing their campaigns, and what I've heard so far SUCKS!
No originality
The same LIGHT, WATER & ROAD issues; that will be left undone when they get into office, only to be used for next dispensation.
It also serves as an Opportunity for the people to show what they have in mind before the election proper, and in places where it's been done, it also helps to checkmate rigging to a large extent,
Someone once mentioned that the NIGERIAN MEDIA is VERY LAZY; and I'm beginning to agree that it's true!
Why can't the Media conduct a general polls on the situation of the Aspirants?
THE MEDIA. . . ?

Pat Utomi's Visibilty: My Concern
For one, the issue of Pat UTOMI's VISIBILTY has been one of great concern to me. I havent been seeing the kind of 'effizy' (effects) I see from other aspirants.
Though we all know that oftentimes money gets thrown around to rent the crowd/people that have been used so far, but they are making the NOISE; and the effects they draw usually transcends to other people, passers-by, on-lookers, and of course the media footage!
Now, many Nairalanders (and Guests) positively feel that Pat Utomi is the guy for Naija Presidency, but that is not enough to get him there.
HOW CAN WE AS INDIVIDUALS SUPPORT THE ACTUALIZATION OF THIS DREAM!
From what I have seen, the UTOMI's methods so far hasnt created the "effizy" I'd expected. In as much as I feel that an aspirant shld do all the noise making, but there are many of us here who have the means to influence other people in a bid to solicit support for Utomi.
Infact, I have a few pals and we JUST carry out DIRECT & INDIRECT campaign in our offices, computer school (where I take lessons), church, fellowship, on a bike ride, and every opportunity that presents itself.
I am convinced that as an Individual, if I want something that much I shld be able to make sacrifices to achieve it.
Many of us can do this on-our-own.
If you are a registered VOTER and u feel UTOMI deserves a chance, GOOD, go out there and "talk the UTOMI talk".
Even if you were not able to register as a voter, or do not currently reside in Nigeria, you may be able to talk to people to cast their votes wisely.
Your suggestions here could also be useful in this regards.
I strongly believe that U & I can make this change!

Pat Utomi For President In 2007
Can Pat Utomi Deliver?
This thread started with a topic that interested me and when I peeped in, I saw totally different talk.
In fact, my answer is YES, Pat Utomi can Deliver!, and in every capacity.
I don't see what d talks about rotational presidency has to do with it.
Personally, I don't see Buhari or Y'Adua as a better option. The former had been there and as far as we are concerned, the main "action" personality was Idiagbon; Y'Adua on the other hand is, as far as I can percieve, a papa's boy!
Or shld I mention Uzor Kalu or Atiku; no don't faint, I wont.
So, what are we talking about then?!
Let's talk about ISSUES here. It's about time we left the old "reality" ways and did things the right way.
We can indeed JUST elect anyone from Nigeria, no matter his/her sectional or geo-political background. It wont start tomorrow if we don't start it NOW!
My point is that, as the current YOUTH of this nation, we owe it to our FUTURE, to the generation un-born this singular act of VOTING right, VOTING well, VOTING with a focus.
The Future is not tomorrow, nay, the FUTURE is NOW!
Pat has began his TV "shows", so we'll definitely hear & see more of him.
For me, I'll vote for Pat and he'll definitely win.
\o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ All hands in d air for the 2007 President Utomi!
Cheers
