Even in kenya 🇰🇪 Ruto was not the one people voted for..Raila won the elections
You are liers this is the best and most honest election I have ever seen in Nigeria…. Why are you lying?,🤔🤔🤔
You so wish, some are old clips and of course there were isolated cases. However, we believe by God's grace no any breakdown of law and order will be witnessed. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.
This election was rigged. The west should know that this is far from democracy and sanction Nigeria accordingly
There wasn't any sweep winning by Tinubu, it was 100% rigged by Tinubu and Atiku.
This is a big fat lie
You’re all a bunch of election deniers.
The Western Countries and all the International election observing and monitoring bodies enjoy deceiving Africans that they care about a free and fair election. They don't care. They just come to serve the interest of the African governments by helping them to rubber stamp heavily rigged elections. When have they even put enough pressure to to have a rerun when most of the elections held in African countries have always been riddled by malpractices? When? These observer should never be allowed in anymore if they will only come and rubber stamp stolen elections.
93 million registered voters, yet only 27% actually voted. Btw, how do muslims win in the south of Nigeria, which 50-80% christian. 😂
Why can't these people be more civilized? It's 2023 stop choosing to be a 3rd World Country. Jesus Please Help Them Grow Up
Some of the comments are hysterical. Nigerian people stood and sided with Putin,and complained about the west and blamed the west for everything. Now Nigeria is having problems . It's called Karma. Ask Putin for assistance instead. The west is too busy helping Ukrainian refugees from Putin. . You reap what you sow .
Praying for nigeria from Nairobi
The fact that you had to use such a sensational headline.
There were pockets of violence in some states, doesn't mean the whole Nigeria has erupted to violence. The election was flawed and there is a lot to be achieved on. The ruling party would have won regardless cause they were the only party with the spread. It was a very tightly contested election
Nobody is putting any hope on Tinubu. There's no hope in him. The word hope does not go with his name. He just shows us that he is not about fairness and justice. He's only interested in stealing. He stole the vote and he will steal the money and the lives of the people.
My Africa 😭,what Happened to Peter Obi's win😂😂😂😂😂
Hey @NBC new why the propaganda those videos are old video no protest after the presidential election as at 24hrs ago stop black-framing Nigerians go and look for another news pls
This is a crying shame! What can that country ever do right besides corruption? 😢
Just give Obi the presidency. LP deserves a chance to govern
As a nigerian, this saddens me sooo much. We the people voted for peter obi, and we got Bat.
This needs to be settled in court, as those who participated in this vote rigging need to be held accountable under oat. All the inec officials need to be called to court cause u could see it on the irev portal how many cancelled numbers and whiteout markers were deployed…. This so called election result was and is a scam. OBi won period.
It's so confusing how people cannot see this happened here
Voting in Africa is largely ethnic/religious. It's possible Tinubu won. Obi won in his South East backyard, Lagos, Abuja n Christian areas in the North. Tinubu won in his Yoruba backyard n a number of Northern states, perhaps because he is Muslim, same thing to Abubakar
WE WANT OUR REAL RESULTS YOU CHECK YOU CAB SEE HOW THE RULING PARTY AND INEC OFFICE MANIPULATE RESULTS
Let them BURN ASO ROCK TO THE GROUND..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
My praise goes to every Nigerian who came out to vote.
Where were all those police and military when election were bieng stolen, manipulated and rigged on a broad daylight.where were all those police when thugs were attacking people who queued to vote.
Where were they when an inocent woman was bitten almost lost her sight while voting
Stop sharing the wrong information to the world, Yes we are not happy with the outcome. There’s no violence anywhere in Nigeria as we speak.
International community, please run to our aid in Nigeria. There is a massive injustice on the people's choice. We can't allow massive corruption to continue.
quite a misleading headline.
Who? Where? State the Area? Enough for propaganda. Nigerian are happy & we have accepted the results for the betterment of our great nation.
Why do they have paper ballots 😩😳
INEC RIGGED THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTION IN NIGERIA.
Why are the NBC media talking about our election, when there were more deadly news about terrorist killing in both East, North & South for the past years? Your media didn’t cover those.
If all of a sudden you start covering our elections, then that means there’s an interest and your government is partially or wholly involved in the shambles called election. They are accomplice to the rigging of elections in the country.
We all know what the interests are. You want our resources, you gain by dividing the people of Nigeria, you sponsor killings, terrorism and use that period of crisis to come into our country illegally and mine our resources (though in cooperation with our own evil government and political leaders). Yet you don’t report these type of news. Biased
If NBC wants to stand out as a good media house, report all news and be explicit about it. Don’t be hypocrites.
A day will come when Africa shall fight back her oppressors and regain their freedom. Nothing lasts forever.
What an evil media NBC!!
The US and the rest of the world must support the Nigerian youths or watch African countries turn into autocracys. This is the last chance to save democracy.
This is the worst election since 1999. WE WON'T ACCEPT THIS FAKE RESULYT
The entire election is a sham, none of the electoral body's promises on how the election will hold was kept.
God Bless Peter Obi 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👑🫶🏾🙌🏾
They rigged and manipulated the results in broad daylight. Very disheartening 🤦🏽♂️💔
I mean if an entire country is voting for their president and this third world country has to count them by hand You are not going to get the results that Saturday night lol.
