On NTA Live,
Umaru Musa Yar'adua is our next president.
May God bless or rather help Nigeria.
Well done.

If it's a hoax, <<snip>>

yaradua has been decleared  president  after a free and fair election last saturday. me am cool with the result of the election. are you?

Seun it is true. It is no hoax. Yar Adua polled 24 million, Buhari 6million, and Atiku polled 2million.
We thank God - all the detractors of this country have been put to shame. Forward ever Nigeria

The BBC has confirmed it - Yar'Ardua has won the election.

 
The ruling party's Umaru Yar'Adua has won Nigeria's controversial presidential election, according to official results.
But European Union observers says the polls were "not credible", with more than 200 deaths in the past week.

The two main opposition candidates have told their supporters to reject the results and want a re-run.

Mr Yar'Adua gained 24.6m votes, while his closest challenger Muhammadu Buhari had 6.6m, the election commission says.

its true, its on bbc / reuters too. http://africa.reuters.com/world/news/

Voice of people is the voice of God, the Nigerian electorates has spoken, this is indeed victory for democracy and not for selfish interest.

The electoral process was in no way perfect, however if Nigeria's electoral process saw the emergence of those who represent everything that has made Nigeria the mess it is today then it is not worth having.

I have never been a great fan of Yaradua, but I do think he repersents the much needed generational shift. I welcome his emergence as president and hope he lives up to expectation of Nigerians.

Surely you guys can see that this is not right!

This has not come as a suprise we all have anticipated that this will be the out come. May God help him and i pray that he turns things around and serves this country well.

am not realy surprise,cos i knew it right from the onset

While Yar'Adua's legitimacy is indeed questionable, he is the best candidate and his less-than-perfect victory should be accepted by Nigerians as a compromise for peace, security, and contuity of economic reforms.

Also and on a positive note, here comes a financially prudent and responsible leader.  Let's hope he appoints TECHNOCRATS to draft Nigeria's future.

This statements was so candid as if it was from the pen of Olusegun Adeniyi, the ThisDay columnist - 'Right of Reply'

Well said, i could not agreed less.

if  20+ million voted for the asthmatic guy

and 6 million for the shameless thing

2 million+  for the greeedy fellow

what happened to the other million + voters

Seems like even half of the country's population didnt vote.

Demonstration of craze , crazy demo indeed.

Baba lo n soro

it's not a surprise atleast we knew the result before hand

my vote was wasted simple,

i didnt expect anyone else to win

All i count on is that: God knows what his doing

The courts will take care of complaints for now.  The supreme court's autonomy was demonstrated by granting Atiku the right to contest.  Conspiracy theorists: Yes, it could have been OBJ presenting this as en excuse to reprint the ballot papers, delay their arrival, etc. to distort and manipulate the outcome.  I still think Yar'Adua has some integrity while both Buhari and Atiku have absolutely none!

I knew he was goin to win but ahhhh com'on, 70% of the votes thats over riggin it makes no sense at all, now opposition party have a real case to present to fight this result

PDP acts better than Nollywood stars.What a script dt was perfectly acted.How on Earth would Yar Adua win South South States?God will intervene in no time.I cnt wait.

congratulations mr president (elect). may you do what is right in the eyes of man and God.

read on thisday that mantu has been defeated by AC candidate. good for him. im sure it is because he did not support the 3rd term

Demonstration of craze , crazy demo indeed.

Baba lo n soro

Only about 40million people are legally allowed to vote. (18+)

The election was like an AIDS test, what's da result?, Not positive.Yeah like an AIDS test you take though you know nothing is wrong with you,you just try to fulfil all righteousness  

Not a surprise.
Every sensible follower of events would have known what the outcome will be.

Nigeria still remain the best in elections. America or Britain would have taken about 24hours to know the result of their elections but in Nigeria, we already know the result before the election.

God bless Nigeria.

What do you expect! when a TRUCK LOAD of ballot papers already THUMB PRINTED in favor of the sickler (i mean yar adua) was seized in the north; not to talk of the millions not captured by the media. BABA is just talking Nigerian for another joy ride.

New:

Only about 40million people are legally allowed to vote. (18+)

so wat u mean to say is only about 40million+ people are above 18 in nigeria?

actually the number of registered voters is ~62million according to INEC.

this was a sham of an election

Ballot boxes didnt get to polling stations, early papers were not enough and alot of votes were considered VOID,
