Wearing the wrong kind of outfit can either get you in trouble with INEC officials or leave you very comfortable and with body or feet aches.
Legit.ng has compiled a list of some items to wear to vote.
Check them out below:
1. Sunscreen
It is not guaranteed that your polling unit will provide you with proper shelter to keep you from the sun.
Seeing as these processes often take hours, wearing sunscreen to protect your skin from sunburns cannot be over emphasis. Protect your votes and your skin too.
2. Sneakers
The worst thing you can do to yourself as a fashionista is to wear a pair of heels or dress shoes to vote.
For an exercise that requires a lot of standing, it is often advised to opt for comfortable shoes like sneakers or loafers. While flat sandals are not a bad idea, it won’t prevent your legs from getting dusting and dry.
3. A hat
Along with sunscreen, a nice hat or baseball cap is also a good way to keep your face protected from the sun while looking cool at the same time.
However, avoid wearing branded hats belonging to any party, to your polling unit.
4. Breathable clothing
The weather currently is pretty hot and thus, wearing thick clothing at this time is heavily advised against.
For an exercise that will be done outside, wearing thick jackets, shirts or even dresses to go vote isn’t exactly the brightest of ideas.
5. Comfortable pants
The election process often can be pretty dicey in most part of Nigeria. Wearing clothes you can easily run in, is advised.
Bottoms like leggings or sweatpants are great options.
6. Minimal jewelry
Keep your expensive jewelries at home. Stick to simple stud earrings or hoops.
This way, you keep the attention of thugs and miscreants off you.
It is a few hours to the D-day and enough time for you to curate your voting look. Get busy!
Reactions as Blessing CEO flaunts Pete Obi-inspired nails: “Hope you can vote with it”
Blessing Okoro, who is better known as Blessing CEO, is taking this election to heart, and her latest Instagram post may just be proof.
The controversial relationship expert recently got her nails done, and the design was heavily inspired by Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The long artificial nails carried a painting of Obi, his party’s logo, and the popular ‘Obidient’ tag associated with supporters of the presidential candidate.
