As INEC officials round off their duties at different polling booths all around the country, we bring you our top fifteen favourite photos from this year’s general elections and why we love ’em.

This old man was led to his polling unit by caregivers. He was led back to the home after exercing his franchise. Patriotism at its best!

The lady who got the ring from her boo in one of the polling booths in Lagos, how romantic.

We are inspired by the level of humility showed by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.

This elderly woman was spotted at Daura, the hometown of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, about to validate her voting card.

This mallam was spotted at a polling unit making smart money.

Mrs. Osinbajo drove herself and her husband, APC vice presidential candidate Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to the Eti-Osa polling unit for the accreditation process. How kind of her.

Internally displaced people from various camps in Maiduguri, Borno pictured waiting in line to be accredited on Saturday morning before casting their votes.

Despite the heavy rain, Lagosians stood up to be counted on the side of democracy.

When a dodgy INEC official with fake papers was arrested.

When a politician was spotted distributing money to voters.

Governor Fashola and wife, Abimbola stood for two hours on the queue before voting. Due process was followed.

Our celebrities don’t just talk, they act ...go Banky! Go Pasuma!

This photo has been trending for hours now, we are not sure if this polling queue is for real but it somehow made it to our list.

When the First Lady arrived her voting centre in Otuoke, all eyes centered on her attire… yes, she came prepared- style wise.

We hope he is just ‘testing’ the accreditation device because he looks under 18. What do you think?

Seeing Lagos look this calm and peaceful is something we would always love to see.
