OBASANJO/ SHELL PREPARE TO LAUNCH YET ANOTHER ODI-STYLE MASSACRE: SEND GOVERNMENT DEATH-SQUADS TO OKERENKOKO A reprisal military action capable of making the infamous "Odi Massacre" a child's play is afoot at Okerenkoko, the coastal village where an armed local militia group gunned down no fewer than four soldiers and left several others.... (This Day)		GUARDIAN'S OPINION POLL FRAUD ...it is obvious that the Guardian poll is anything but scientific. The sample should be a reflection of the electoral register. The selection bias is such that Guardian should not have published it all. It is a useless exercise that proves nothing. Unfortunately, Guardian portrayed this charade as �a scientific socio-political research initiative�. Nothing could be further from the truth. To lend credibility to this nonsense, Guardian lists its consultants and coordinators as: The Co-ordinators: Dr. Jide Oluwajuyitan, Mr. Henry Onifade, Mr. Andrew Yacim and Mr. Gani Odusanya. Consultants: Dr. Adidi Uyo and Professor Adigun Agbaje. (BNW)
