Nigerians on social media have reacted to President Donald Trump declaring victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the US Presidential elections.

Trump, the 45th President of the United States, declared himself the victor in a speech to supporters as he stands on the cusp of a historic political comeback.

Speaking to Republicans at his campaign headquarters in Florida, he said he would usher in “a new golden age for America.”

With the results currently at 266 to 205 in favor of President Donald Trump, he will need one more state to officially take him over the winning threshold of 270 electoral college votes.

He told supporters in West Palm Beach on Wednesday morning: "This will truly be the golden age of America - that's what we have to have.

"This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again."

Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a Trump mega-donor, was with the Republican nominee as the results came in.

He would be the first former president to return to the White House in more than 130 years.

In more good news for Trump, his party is projected to win majority control of the Senate.

While the news of his victory made headlines across the globe, Nigerians on social media have been reacting since.
