        It took me 3 minutes to complete the exercise after arriving at the poling station. Smooth.

        At Bidii Primary in Buruburu, the initial queue was about 700m long but moving, it took about 40 minutes to get to the polling center.

        This is a business opportunity, especially for those hawkers selling groundnuts, mayai boiled and other bites

        Don't you realise that in that station there are several queues each being served concurrently? To make work easier
