Outcome: IBBUL Campus Gist Ambassadorial Award 1.0

As we've kept to our words that the online award poll will last for 50 hours, we hereby present to you the outcome of the award which ended at exactly 20:00 hours Nigerian time. The whole process was quite fascinating as IBBUL Campus Gist gathered. Amazingly, not only Nigerians voted. Some nominees were able to pull crowd even outside Nigeria to support them in clinching this Ambassadorial Award.

On this note, we would like to clear some issues that arose during the poll. Some people were of the view that the voting should strictly be meant for IBBULites, matric numbers should be used so as to avoid multiple voting. This wouldn't still change anything but will rather make things worst as a student knows at least 5 of his course mates matric number, so you see? But however, the concept behind this online poll was borrowed from the Headies Award of HipTv Nigeria. Believe me, non Nigerians vote too. The voting process is not confined to only Nigerians. The believe is that the number of people you can pull to come support you should determine your strength and victory. Anything social media poll, restriction is almost close to impossible.

Also, those that were asking for how the nominees were brought about, 5 days ago we published a broadcast asking people to nominate either themselves or another person for the upcoming Ambassadorial Award of which we got a positive response.

To those suggesting that same process should be used for SUG award night, it is not in our capacity to decide that but rather, the Students Union.

Also, on the transparency of the poll! I want us to understand that no election in this world is 100% transparent, not even USA election, not even Nigeria's election, not even the SUG and NANISS election. If anyone gives a doubt about SUG and NANISS election, we should be called upon publicly to show IBBULites that those scrab elections are not in anyway transparent. On IBBUL Campus Gist Ambassadorial Award, we ensured that the transparency was drew to excellence, even though we couldn't get to 100%. The solution to a transparent poll/election is nothing but our mindset. Sincerity!

Nevertheless, before finally revealing the outcome of the poll, IBBUL Campus Gist wish to sincerely appreciate, first, the effort of those that visited our blog to cast their votes. Secondly, we wish to appreciate the cooperation the entire IBBULites exhibited, making the process a healthy competition. Thirdly, we wish to appreciate the cooperation of each and every nominee. Finally, Glossy Makeover, for assisting us to making the Ambassadorial Award a success, we say a very big thank you to you.

Finally, as we broadcasted earlier, if you are expecting a mega award as a winner of your category, then this poll shouldn't be for you.
As this is the first online poll to be conducted in IBBU, we wish to apologize for any hitches you came across as we'll improve better in subsequent ones.

Here comes the moment we've all been waiting for...
At the end of 50 hours, an estimate of 18,756 people visited the blog to cast their votes for different nominees. Recall that you are allowed to vote for a single category. And here comes the winners of IBBUL Campus Gist Ambassadorial Award 1.0

Similarly, a mini poll was conducted to harness students reaction on the 2 weeks break extension.

The outcome:
43% were very happy
34% were happy
14% were sad
8% were very sad
Doing a little arithmetic, 43% + 34% = 77%
By implication, 77% of the students are happy that the break has been extended
