NIGERIAN VOTERS' VIEWS Abdulkadir's view prior polls Voters' views: Polling day Send us your views

Today the elections were very calm at my polling station in Kano.

Polls opened only an hour late at 1100. I went around midday and everything was in progress by then.

There was no intimidation this week. This is because the trouble-makers do not have a stake in the presidential polls. It is only the state elections that are relevant to them.

There was nothing else to do there so I returned home where I have just been relaxing.

Voting was calm where Abdulkadir cast his ballot

I have been talking to some of my colleagues over the phone about what happened where they were and they have been updating me.

A colleague of mine outside Kano told me that there have some irregularities where he is - all the ballot boxes were transferred to a traditional leader's house and there are many soldiers harassing and punishing people.

At least that was not the case where I voted.
