Nigeria Election

Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan has blamed Barack Obama for his 2015 presidential election defeat to Muhammadu Buhari, alleging the former US president headed a global conspiracy to get rid of him.

But amid all this human drama, many animals managed to make big impressions with their wits, daring, sacrifices and cuteness.

At least seven people were killed Sunday in clashes between supporters of rival political parties in Nigeria's eastern Taraba state after a court nullified the election win of the state governor, police said.

Buhari declared before his election: "Corruption will have no place and the corrupt will not be appointed to my administration."
