All these procedures will only apply down south. They know how they sort themselves up north. As usual southerners will remain the guinea pigs with their full consent.

Voter education

There are many more candidates on the ballot this year and so the space for you to place your fingerprint has reduced. Therefore, voters are advised to vote with their index finger, rather than their thumb. The ink might spill into another space if you use your thumb and that will invalidate your vote.


Very good.. That's how I'm gonna vote for PDP to get Nigeria working again cheesy

grin The supermod changed the title and added the word "INEC" to it.

Someone else said that the parties are not doing voter education, instead they are insulting each other.

In actual fact, I got these materials from the parties, not INEC. The parties are educating their members, but most non-members are not aware of these things, that's why I created this thread.


There are even more materials that I want to post, but most of them were created by political parties and I'm looking for more neutral sources.

Come saturday I will make sure I vote the cameroonian back to his country.


Could you substantiate that he is from Cameroon?


Abi you just read about it online by a fool and you chose to believe it.


Very funny set of people.



This is bias, why using APC as an example, it shows partiality.


Another unregistered party should be used or unknown parties that don't exist, using it as an example.

Even if he uses PDP, SDP or AAC, it's not still right.


Learn to be even when addressing the public and not bias.

PRESENTATION:


I meant were I read the index finger awareness from.

Virtually all the political parties have been educating their members that they should use their index finger. They've been doing this since last year. In fact, this thread was inspired by a song that Professor Osinbajo sings at every campaign rally to remind APC members that they should use their index finger.

My thought was that the political parties are doing this voter education, but what about people that are not members of these parties. Most of them do not know about this issue and that's why I created this thread (so that everybody will know).

In fact, if you look at the pictures that I posted in the first post, you'll see pictures of many of the political parties educating their members about the issue.

Picture below: Professor Osinbajo singing the song in Abeokuta yesterday. You can see that he is holding up his index finger.
