10 types of people we are going to meet at the
polling unit on election day;
1 The gentlemen/ladies
These are the types of people the will visit the
polling unit just to fulfill their mission which is to
vote peacefully and after that, go back to their
home without any problem.
2 The elders
These people(mostly men) are always between the
age 70-80+ you will always find them sitting
under a tree or any shaded area within the polling
centre lecturing young men about the history of
politics and how the country was going from bad
to good and vice versa.
3 The I Too Know (ITKs)
These are the categories of people that you will
see jumping from one place to the other as if they
are INEC chairman. You will never see them at
rest, they can even go to the extent of teaching the
INEC officials their works.
4 The ushers
You will always see these categories of people on
the queue looking very quiet but when they see a
person trying to manipulate the queue, they will
just walk to him/her and say something like “Oga,
please go and join the queue at the back, we that
have being on the line are not animals” they will
never leave you until you do the needful.
5 The coordinators
They are more like the ushers but something
special about them is that they are not always on
the queue, if they see you trying to sneak into the
queue
6 The confused ones
Looking at them only, you will deduce that they
are confused. They will always be looking as if
someone is about to kidnap them or you will
always see them asking questions silly like
“Brother, will they collect this PVC from us after
we are through?” or “Sister, shebi Buhari the PDP
presidential candidate?” They are always annoying.
7 The VIPs
These are always the big men of the hood, they
will just drive down to the polling unit with their
expensive ride and walk up to the INEC officials
with a bottle water in their hands and do all the
necessary stuffs and drive back home immediately
8 The spacebookers
I usually wonder if that’s what they do to make
money on that day or they are just naturally
mumus. They will be on the queue for hours and
when it’s almost their turn to vote, someone will
just come from nowhere and take their place then
you will see them leaving.
9 The lookers/observers
Some are not even there to vote but to watch
people arguing or fighting, you will always see
them at alert with their phones getting ready to
snap/video any funny or fist throwing event that
takes place at the unit.
10 The fighters
Their own mission is to come and cause violence
at the polling unit, they will mistakenly hit you or
march you, instead of saying sorry, they will turn
it to fight. Be careful when dealing with them
11 The traders
I usually love the courage of these people coz any
opportunity they see, they will use it to promote
their business. You will see them early in the
morning already offloading bags of pure water,
snacks, groundnut, coolers of rice and other
foods some will even bring their tables to roast
boli(roasted plantains) at the polling unit, they are
always desperate to make money.
12 The pickpocketers
One of my teachers defined them as “Dem no be
thieves ooo but if they pass, something go lost”. All
they need to do is to just look at your pocket and
they will explore everything inside it then you will
see them passing your side 24/7 or trying to form
familiarity with you, my brother be watchful or
else they will steal you sef.
keep calm and vote wisely
May God help us.
