Abuja, Nigeria. December 6th<\/sup>, 2014<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This press statement has been necessitated by the malicious story published by SaharaReporters with the sole intent to bring to disrepute\u00a0 NOIPolls Limited and its founder Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. It is clear that the online website went on a fishing expedition designed to mislead stakeholders and the public with sponsored lies and innuendos.<\/p>\n

To state the facts:<\/p>\n

NOI POLLS WAS SET UP IN 2006, LONG BEFORE OKONJO-IWEALA RETURNED TO GOVERNMENT AS MINISTER SO IT COULDN\u2019T HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT GOVERNMENT<\/strong>
\nNOIPolls was founded in 2006 by Dr Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, she was not a serving minister nor in Government at this time. Shortly afterwards she went on to become the Managing Director at the World Bank.\u00a0 For Sahara reporters to imply that she set up this company to \u2018burnish the image of President Jonathan\u2019 is completely false and again points to a very biased and subjective reporting style that is completely flawed and should be disbelieved. More of this can be seen on our website or on this linkhttp:\/\/tinyurl.com\/oee7fo4<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that showcases our seven (7) years of polling.<\/p>\n

IN LINE WITH GLOBAL PRACTICE, OKONJO-IWEALA IS NOT CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN MANAGING THE COMPANY OR ITS DECISION-MAKING\u00a0<\/strong>
\nDr Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is also totally de-linked from the company and DOES NOT interfere with the operations.\u00a0 The Company is run by a Management team which is headed by Myself. Again details are all public and have been for as long as this company has existed, why Sahara reporters decided to publish a sensational piece without researching the company points to the incessant need to bully Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and anything that has her name on it. This MUST STOP.\u00a0 NOIPolls\u00a0 is a going concern with\u00a0 50 HQ staff members, a workforce of 40+ interns and 300 field operatives.\u00a0 That figure moved\u00a0 up from 5 staff in January 2012 to now clocking almost 400 persons in Jobs that have been created over a 2 year period. That is the testimony of hardwork and commitment by my team to build a sustainable enterprise and promote the true voice of Nigerians which Sahara\u00a0reporters is desperately trying to squash.<\/p>\n

NOI POLLS HAS BEEN CONDUCTING POLLS ON PRESIDENTIAL APPROVAL RATINGS SINCE 2007<\/strong>
\nApproval ratings; NOIPolls has been conducting approval ratings for Nigerian Presidents since 2007, we have only had two presidents;\u00a0the Late President Yar\u2019dua and now President Jonathan. The first approval rating was done\u00a0in 2007 when the maiden\u00a0NOI- Gallup National Poll was conducted.\u00a0\u00a0Please see link\u00a0http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mnb6v63<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0the result of the\u00a0first approval rating for Late\u00a0President Yar’dua.\u00a0We started monthly approval ratings for the current President in January 2013. Again please see linkhttp:\/\/tinyurl.com\/kl2hfut<\/a><\/p>\n

THE MONTHLY OPINION SURVEYS ON THE PRESIDENT\u2019S APPROVAL RATINGS ARE RIGOROUS AND CREDIBLE AND REFLECT BOTH GAINS AND LOSSES IN PUBLIC PERCEPTION FOR THE PRESIDENT<\/strong>
\nAs fair minded and apolitical persons have observed, the approval ratings have not been static: they reflect changes in public perception of the president\u2019s work. Not too long ago, it was 74%. The effort by Saharareporters to discredit the polls is evidently malicious and lacks credibility.<\/p>\n

NOI POLLS TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP WITH GALLUP USA COVERS METHODOLOGY AND SIMILAR TECHNICAL ISSUES; IT DOES NOT MEAN GALLUP IS INVOLVED IN DECISIONS ON THE MONTHLY OPINION POLLS<\/strong>
\nNOI Polls never claimed that Gallup was involved in the monthly approval polls. WE have been in a technical partnership with Gallup since 2006.\u00a0 First contract was for 5 years, ran from 2007 \u2013 2012. Another was signed in 2013 and is still running. It\u2019s a pity that in the rush to discredit a reputable firm, Sahara reporters have made very obvious mistakes;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The report states that Sahara reporters asked Gallup if they were involved in conducting the November\u2019s approval rating; of course they cannot be involved, we are in a\u00a0TECHNICAL\u00a0PARTNERSHIP with Gallup, this means that\u00a0they have taught us a methodology which we have adapted to the Nigerian context. This partnership does not mean that NOIPolls will have Gallup do all our polls. It means that we have perfected what we have been taught and only review methodology when necessary. To assume and then ask if Gallup is performing polls on our behalf shows the level of thought this report has if at all any. Can we please stop this colonial mentality? Nigerians are very capable of running operations smoothly<\/li>\n
  2. Every year NOIPolls and Gallup do a national poll called the NOI-Gallup National survey, this is the flagship product of the partnership AND THE COMMERCIAL ASPECT of the relationship.\u00a0 Gallup mentioned us as a client and that is because they are paid for data collecting on this national survey. Again this reports can be found on the website.\u00a0 So we have both a TECHNICAL and COMMERCIAL relationship with Gallup USA.<\/li>\n
  3. The Reporter\u2019s disturbing bias is clearly seen in not understanding the methodology used for the monthly polls, hence asked Gallup if they are, from the US conducting a monthly telephonic poll. Quite laughable being that the reporter also published our methodology.<\/li>\n
  4. If Sahara reporters does have staff working for them, a visit to the NOIPolls Opinion Polling Center (the NOPC) would have clearly shown the Pollsters at work in the call center administering the survey via telephones to Nigerians across the country and not sitting at their tables falsifying a poll.\u00a0 This would have represented a fair and unbiased approach to reporting, however obviously this is not their style of reporting. Again showcasing terrible reporting and an intent to discredit NOIPolls and our founder.\u00a0 Also we have OPEN DAYS for the public where anyone is allowed to walk in and see these pollsters at work and try to also make calls and administer a poll.<\/li>\n
  5. Methodology as taught by Gallup shows that 1000 sample size is representative of the Nigerian Adult Population (87.9m). Gallup uses same sample size for a population of 350 million Americans. Our methodology is scientifically proven and if Sahara Reporter had done an indepth research on global polling methodology standards, they will realize this.<\/li>\n
  6. Finally, we have on our website two members of the Gallup team as members of our team, would we be as bold to do this if no relationship existed?\u00a0 I daresay that Saharareporters was totally\u00a0mischievous\u00a0in this approach to\u00a0questioning the Gallup staff about a monthly poll and not a partnership.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    GALLUP HAS AN ESTABLISHED LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH NOI POLLS<\/strong>
    \nDr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s excellent relationship with Mr Jim Clifton helped to get the partnership with Gallup off the ground. And we are very grateful with Mr Clifton and Gallup for their support. This partnership will not be broken by this sponsored and malicious report by Sahahareporters.<\/p>\n

    \nNOI POLLS IS RECEIVING GLOBAL AND CONTINENTAL RECOGNITION FOR ITS RIGOROUS PROFESSIONAL WORK<\/strong>
    \nLooking at the Gallup\u2019s well being index, NOIPolls has been conducting the Personal Well Being index of Nigerians monthly for 23 months now, we have been given global recognition for this, we are only two African countries doing this survey on the continent. If the reporter again (I am truly tired of saying this) had done the job required of him, he would have seen clearly that our results mirror the same with Gallup findings.<\/p>\n

    As Daniel Patrick Moynihan is famous for saying \u2018Everyone is entitled to their opinion but not to their own facts\u2019.\u00a0 In this case Saharareporters has totally misrepresented the facts and shown a total bias and ineptness to reporting. As we say in NOIPolls, our mission is to ensure that the voice of Nigerians are heard, the voice of one should never represent the voice of many!! In this case, Saharareporters is being used to push an agenda, the voice of one is not acceptable to us!\u00a0 If they disagree with the results of our polls, all they need do is send us an email, we get a lot of those and we respond and ask that the people come in to evaluate our work and methodology. We are a transparent and accountable firm.<\/p>\n

    This misbehavior on the part of Sahara reporters has to stop! Reporting should never be done this way.\u00a0 The media should always remain objective and ensure they have all their facts correct before going to press.\u00a0\u00a0 The results from the polls are key to the work of our media partners all over the globe. The ability to rightly analyse and interpret the results is obviously what is missing in Sahara reporters capabilities and so the sudden flight to finger pointing and discrediting.<\/p>\n

    Finally, I would like to thank you for taking out time to read this long press release, NOIPolls has worked really hard and still is, to champion the importance of opinion research across the region and the continent.\u00a0 We have put Nigeria on the global stage by changing the narratives about our beautiful country. At last the voices of Nigerians are being put on a platform and on display for the world to see.\u00a0 We are telling our story!\u00a0 Shame on those that have chosen to disrupt a change process that is long needed in this country.<\/p>\n
