The head of Nigeria's electoral commission said yesterday that the first results could be announced starting today. Attahiru Jega, chairperson of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that they hope that they will be able to declare within forty eight hours. The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon congratulated Nigeria for holding a "largely peaceful and orderly" ballot this past weekend. However, there were technical problems with new devices to read bio-metric voter identity cards along with the delayed arrival of election material. Jega said that 348 polling stations across the country were affected, including 90 in the financial hub of Lagos in the southwest, including two in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja.

To help us look at the weekend's happenings we have on the line:

• Japheth J Omojuwa: A Nigerian blogger, socio-economic and political commentator, environmental consultant, Social Media expert and mentor.
• Martin Ewi: Researcher based at the Institute for Security Studies in Johannesburg
