An intestinal problem has forced President Jonathan to cancel a planned surprise visit to the Super Eagles in South Africa, medical sources in London said today.

The Nigeria president, who is on a whirlwind three-nation trip to Egypt, the United Kingdom and France, had planned to surprise the Super Eagles in South Africa following their qualification for the final of the African Cup of Nations last Wednesday.

However, in London Mr. Jonathan came down with an intestinal disorder referred to as Amoebic Colitis and he underwent testing at the London Clinic on Harley Street. The clinic is highly favoured by Nigeria’s rich and powerful.

A medical source told Saharareporters that Mr. Jonathan's situation is not worrisome but that the persistent nature of the condition meant the president had to undergo some screenings. It was not clear why he did not undertake the screenings in Abuja, where State House has an excellent clinic manned by a largely idle staff.

Meanwhile, former Nigerian dictator Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was also sighted at the InterContinental Hotel in London limping on one leg. Mr. Babangida was helped into a vehicle by two aides on his way to a hospital in the city.

It was not clear if President Jonathan previously knew of Babangida's stay at the same hotel but the two met briefly as Babangida struggled to get to his car.

Mr. Jonathan is expected to arrive in France on Monday, according to his itinerary, but it is unclear if his health issue will force a change. Mr. Jonathan’s wife, Patience, last month returned to hospital in Germany following new health concerns.

The president has detailed the Senate President, David Mark, to cheer on the Super Eagles to victory in their final match against Burkina Faso tomorrow.

A presidency source said the President plans a massive reception for the Super Eagles in Abuja on Tuesday night.

Following decades of irresponsible management of the Nigerian economy, including failure to develop the health sector, Nigeria’s leaders and their families routinely hurry off to the developed world to squander valuable foreign exchange even on minor health procedures.

Two years ago, Babangida’s wife died in a hospital in California. Prior to that, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s wife died in a hospital in Spain.

@Saharareporters owner-have u ever made a statement as u do poke nose on other peoples own?seems ur happiness is when others are sick.ur mood of news reportage is too bad,I doubt if u studied jornalism or u just venture into it to escape hunger

No source, no link.
Anyway, we all are humans, even a machine can't work at 100% efficiency.
Even the healthy ones are advised to go for a periodic checkup.

Have a nice checkup sir.

Jonathan went to an hospital in abroad just because of desentry(complicated term, amoebic colitis)!
What has he to justify the allocation for the health sector in the annual budget when he couldn't recieve a treatment in our hospital?
Moreover, why is it that it is only the sahara reporter that sees all these kind of stories.

I don't really care

Let the french people care since na there una ministry of health dey

More reason why SR is just plain junky media, imagine the first paragraph, such an illness, it was immediately he traveled abroad that he came down with such an intestinal disorder? Are they trying to tell us that for such a sickness, GEJ waited for a window opportunity (his trip), to go get checked out?

Now look at the second paragraph, "BUT THE PERSISTENT NATURE", so if this sickness is persistent in nature, I guess it waited perfectly "Just in Time", when GEJ traveled out, it showed up immediately. If it was persistent all along, AND it's not a worrisome situation,

A. Is it obvious that Abuja has screened him and probably he's on some kind of treatment?

B. Why make a big deal of it?

Again, SR and their useless lies...

My friend you can either stick to lies or say the damn truth. Mrs Clinton was in hospital and yes they reported it, but how Faux news and MSNBC reported it are different. One was factual while the other was more so perpetuating lies, nonetheless, it doesn't stop them from being media sources, but one does a gr8 job of misleading the public.

Oh btw, this isn't about Clinton or U.S. media but SR. What they're trying to inform the public isn't GEJ stopped by the hospital, but trying to state an intent of GEJ patronizing foreign hospitals meanwhile Abuja clinic is there.

Omo_Tier1: I need to set up committee... I brb..

And anoda committee to review your committee

must he go to london, why cant they build the same type of hospital in Nigeria with all the money they are wasting around
