When he was in his prime, I believe Boris Yeltsin could have drunk any world leader you'd care to name right under the table - a true Russian if there ever was one...

Boris Yeltsin, despite his shortcomings as a president, will be remembered as one of the heroes of modern. Russia. Maybe the best legacy he left was Vladimir Putin, who has seen his popularity ascending with time.

It's all politics!.Rigged or not,there are no guarantees that the other politicians will offer more than the returned winner. Let's stop the bickering & move on.

As a peace corps volunteer in a rural village, the B´óÏó´«Ã½ is often the only english i hear for weeks at a time. That makes you all feel like family. So while i have never met alan, i am deeply saddened by his disappearance, and i pray he will be reunited with his own family very soon.

What would have been a suprise is if the opposition candidate had won. The election was decieded long ago.This election has taken us back ten years.

The winner was pre ordained by the government & party but the low turn out speaks tons about a rerun!

My Nigeria friend told me politicians in his country are criminals whatever side they're on. And he's not going to waste time voting for people who are only interested the well being of their immediate families.

Bravo to the Electoral Commission, News Media and the Electorate, Long live Nigeria.

KINDAMA, FREETOWN.
The elections in Nigeria are flawed and must be considered null and void.

LEYLAND - USA
Having another rigged election in Nigeria is not going to be useful at all. Peace may be more important than democracy at the moment in Nigeria, since fair elections seem impossible.

JIMAM - UNIVERSITY OF JOS IN NIGEIRA
I agree that the elections have been flawed but despite all this I strongly feel the they should not be cancelled because there are some positives. In my state Plateau, we voted the current Deputy Senate President out of office despite the Millions he spent.

It just unfortunate that the leaders of Nigeria continued to paint the citizens bad infront of the international community.EU should sanction all of the Obasanjo govt.

The ballot papers had on serial numbers,on that basis n that basis aloof the court can annull the elections.

We knew the winner b4 the election! Why the argument!

Dr Nzewi
It appears that the PDP out-rigged the other parties. They all did. Whoever wins let it be. Nigeria must progress.

There was no election in Nigeria, the incoming Government must fail within months.

The elections were rigged people were denied to vote.

Karo Umukoro, Nigeria
Even if we add all the other losing parties votes, they won't equal to the winning party's votes. So let all Nigerians accept this result.
