German doctors hands off Yar'Adua



A thick cloud of uncertainty may have enveloped the health status of Nigerian President, Mr. Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, as his German medical consultants have, allegedly, “thrown in the towel because the man is already over wired as a result of past surgeries”.

Yesterday, the President did not perform any state function as expected according to Aso Rock insiders. Rather, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan who has been receiving unprecedented cooperation from Yar’Adua’s aides presided over state matters. No official reason was given for Yar’Adua’s absence.

This is coming on the heels of reports that President Yar’Adua, “again slumped into coma” at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, penultimate Saturday before resuming from his two weeks break.

Yar’Adua, who is said to have “ingenious ideas” on how to lead Africa’s most populous nation, has his poor health standing between him and his vision of “social and political re-engineering.

The Nigerian leader is said to be living almost exclusively on a diet of pigeons allegedly prescribed by his band of marabouts as possible cure for his many ailments which includes Churg Straus Syndrome, an alleged lung cancer and kidney related disease.

He was said to have been removed and flown to Lagos. He was said to have been revived at Pastor T.B. Joshua’s Synagogue church in Lagos. But sources close to Pastor Joshua denied that President Yar’Adua was ever brought to the miracle center.

The synagogue source said “yes Pastor Joshua was not here last weekend, neither was Yar’Adua brought here. They may have met elsewhere I wouldn’t know, what your asking me is new to me.”
An Aso Rock source confirmed that indeed Pastor TB Joshua has been consulted while all other marabouts have been relegated to the background at least for now.


While every needed “state of the art equipment have been flown in to Nigeria, pointblanknews.com gathered that it is not likely that the German doctors would want to continue with further treatment.

The usual impeccable source said that “some American experts may have taken over the treatment of the president.”

When Yar’Adua returned to the presidential villa at the beginning of the week, there was no reporter or photo journalist from independent media companies on hand, rather his official photographers were hurriedly called in, the president still looking gaunt and frail was propped up for a photo-up which was circulated to demonstrate that he remained in good health and always good to call the shot.

@Asha80 How Ironic will it be if you are to die before him?

Another excellent thread highlighting the unhealthy obsessesion of the NIgerian press with the President's health. I wont even bother with this one.

The least you can do is pray for him. He is really a good man.

You are missing the point. Every body have the right to a private life -whether or not they are in public office. Secondly the press should not have cultivated a childish habit of prying and speculating about people's health state. It is despicable and disgusting.

Funny how you avoid all simple common sense and opted for the damn right ignorance route. Do you not see anything wrong with the obsession going on here? Please answer that question.

But why do they have to fly in state of the art equipment and german doctors to cure him. What wrong with our own Federal Govt Hospitals and Doctors?  

@Elrazor

Do you think it is only in nigeria that the press is obssessed with its leaders.Do you think you can compare nigerian press obsession to british press?

If you read the other thread that is discussing this topic as well, I have already explained what I feel the British press do here. In a nut shell, they do NOT have obsession like the Nigerian press. Gordon Brown do have one eye and this have not been a topic for the press to dabble in week-in week-out. On the flip side, the comedians however do mock the people in the government as it is a long standing tradition here.

Because they are not state of the art enough to cure his disease.

could that be because their own case is conclusive, as in his spokesman or whoever is in the office will CONFIRM his health status. If the president can come out to say what exactly is wrong with him once and for all there wont be speculation upon speculation but if he is criss-crossing countries without telling his own people what is wrong with him then you really cant blame anyone for speculating. Bush, Cheney, Blair and co had heart operations; even before going for treatment they told their country people! you never see them claiming to go for lesser hajj or sunny holidays in Florida
I'm very sure one can get other presidents health details online if you look hard enough

People have a right to know if their public servants are fit for work. Dick Cheney's battle with heart disease is no secret nor did when George Bush fall from a bike.

So how many days will he actually dedicate to carrying out his duties as head of state? His illness seems to be taking up too much of the country's time here. Why does the man not step down instead, rather than taking the whole country on this ride he seems willing to take his own life on?

Why are some people upset because of the speculations? Its obvious this man is sick as a dog,a state of the union address is in order.
He is stage managing the photo ops, Nigeria is not North Korea, Nigeria is supposed to be a democracy right? So the people who voted(YEAH RIGHT) for him NEED to see their SERVANT-LEADER.
The senate should be looking for ways to tell him to step down and install Goodluck( WHAT A RIDICULOUS NAME) as the president but then everyone will get tribal and start yapping about Northerner, Southerner, west side, east coast etc.
Funny enough,the same people who can't figure this out want a UNITED STATES OF AFRICA.
