I have seen a lot of "massive crowd" from the PDP and APC camps. However a quick analysis of the photos will show that most of these are hired, and the participants may not necessarily partake in the election.
How do you identify a hired crowd?
look through the photo and check if you will find females amongst the crowd. This is the easiest way to know if they were hired or not. Its easy to get guys in the streets, joints or school.s Just bring a bus and they will filll it up. (my friends did this so many times in school).
This can't happen with females. Even runs girls won't enter such a buses. That's why you will see that most campaigns arenas are filled with guys.
Because they are easy to buy.
Did you notice our US protesters are mostly guys?
Sadly most guys don't vote. Females are the highest voters. On the elction day, most guys will either be playing or discussing football and girls, only a few will come out to vote.
However, women, girls and older men will troop out to vote.
Last presidential election, majority of my neighbors didn't vote, they were outside analyzing the election while voting was ongoing. Their Wives and daughters voted.
Also women are more loyal than guys in politics, if you can get a woman's assurance to vote for you, then they will surely vote for you. However, guys can swear to vote for you and an hour later vote anyone that gives them money.
Compare Akpabios campaign and that of Udom Emmanuel and you will realize what I'm saying. There are lot of female groups in Udom's camp, while the Akpabio crowd is filled with guys.
Well, February is already here. Vote don't fight...
