It doesn’t take much to notice the obvious. Election season is fully upon us. Even if you’ve been a hermit, or away from the digital world of information, you would still have seen the onslaught of posters on our roads in recent times. Different candidates trying to look picture perfect and sell you a vision of what Nigeria would be if you put the power in their hands.

Here are a few ways you can stay safe and vigilant this election season and on the actual day of voting.

Have an election kit
First, just in case you didn’t know, or you miraculously forgot (I say miraculously because the buzz around this election, would make it hard to), Election Day is February 16th. There is no moving the day, except to allow citizens to go to their nearest polling station to vote. It will most likely be a very long and trying day. I advise you to have a bottle of water or an energy drink, some snacks and some painkillers (please don’t swallow your painkillers using your energy drink). Also dress appropriately, wear comfortable shoes and a face cap and sunglasses or have an umbrella at hand to act as a shade from the sun. And one last thing, carry a massive bag of patience. �https://theladysroom.ng/stay-safe-during-election-season/
