I was amazed that no one else has posted on this watershed Nigerian election. This will be the first peaceful transfer in Nigeria from one civilian government to another. Also it represents the corruption and 3rd worldness that Nigeria still has. The new president is, as typically, a Northern Muslim who has graciously promised to not impose mandatory sharia law on everyone.

“There’s nothing that human beings do that is perfect. Only the book of God is perfect,” said Yar’Adua, who is Muslim.
