Yar’adua Orders Investigation Of Maltreatment Of Nigerians By Foreign Airlines

hmmm,  so from your analysis of this case, what is the possible threat or provocation here?? British Airways asked some people, among whom where Nigerians off a plane for disturbances is a threat to the Nigerian people ?? Or which one is the provocation???

Lets just hope the next president has heart disease, we might get the cardiac facilities in LUTH upgraded then.

What are all these "I love America pass my papa and mama" people yarning again?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the only American (dead or alive) that was ever voted for the presidency of the United States four times was a cripple! He was on a wheel chair, a clear handicap, and still led the United States even as the battles against the Third Reich and the rest of the Axis powers intensified during WWII!

So, what is all this talk about Yar'Adua's "handicap"? 

Your main man Dick Cheney has not heart, literally and otherwise! But still had time to rule the US (GWB is just a moronic figure-head, at least let's admit that).

No one is making excuses for Yardie - but seriously, being right in Nigeria 24/7/365 is now the magic tonic that will turn things around? Lets be more realistic.

Abacha probably made the least foreign trips of any kind of a president and we can see what happened. Obj was junketing around the world for more than weeks at a stretch, still the governance of the country did not fall apart when he wasn't there. The quality of the man's ideas about turning Nigeria around are what matter. Nigerians are a little to taken by this 'strong big man' thing and fail to focus on how to solve the problems. Yardie's health is NOT the issue I repeat.

The 'microwave' generation folk should know also that turning things around does not necessitate a physical presence, it requires a deep understanding of the issues and revolutionary thinking, and a faithful and committed army willing to go out there and fight the ground battles to make the changes, not a pontificating head in Abuja alone.

What good have all the other people who sat in Nigeria all the while made? This is unfortunately another distraction being foisted on the nation, we have much bigger fish to fry - Yardie will be ok and will return soon enough, he signed the budget before he left, made sure there was no vacuum after the Bayelsa judgment and is very much still in charge, Sickness or no sickness.

Did you hear that he went to Pakistan and Afghanistan for his triple and quadruple bypasses?

Of course his head would have been served on the table. Besides we have nothing close to that right now in nigeria

It's not even the going that bothers me, it's the using of this as excuse for almost no visible progress both now and back when he was governor for 8 solid years in Katsina. Somepeople actually feel this should be an excuse. Aaaggggrrrhhhhh

For all we know, the guy is healthy and just has a bump of some sort, but there are Nigerians already making excuses for him using his HEALTH as reason?? aaaarrrggghhh

you saw what happened to the governor,what happens to your own presidents?
They reward him with better more experienced Indian ashewo

 
what we have makes pearl harbour look like a new yam festival in Owerrinta

Physical presence/good health, take your pick I just like yanking your chain my good man, you have a point

I'm shocked if his health is being used to excuse his poor performance, that is absolutely no excuse - he said he would deliver, and we are waiting for him to do so, no one should accept any excuse such as that. I am aware that educational performance went up in katsina, so did road construction, I went through the place quite frequently in 05/06, so I do not believe any such excuse is being given.

He does seem to have been significantly unprepared for the challenges on the ground or underestimated them. OR he is judiciously planning to make sure there are no false starts - I'd rather have results after a well thought out plan than Obj's hollow promises of power after 6 months which did not come through in 8 years. Again, his health is NO EXCUSE for non-performance.

My take is this,  again I say, Dick Cheney has gone under the knife, infact died over 5 times in the past 8 years, the man is almost a living corpse, yet you know, the world knows that man is active when it comes to his job. I don't care if he has to do it from his sick bed, heck even from his dying bed, all I ask is that he, yaradua, do the freaking job he was hired to do and stop stalling unnecessarily. Simple!! If he can not, step down,  is that hard???

like david said if the doctors ask him to be on bed rest for 3 months (as they already advised he needs to remain till his condition is under control) or say he requires weekly visits until he's stabilized should he defy doctors orders and return home.
Better yet should he fly to Germany weekly for follow up visits.

If this makes him equip even one hospital and sends doctors for advanced trainings,at least his illness would have benefited some others just like his dialysis unit in Katsina which  may have never been built but for his condition,is now a blessing to kidney patients in his state.

One year is enough to supply constant electricity and water to at least  one city outside of Abuja
They can do a test case.
Pick a city out of a hat and use it as a case study and a model that all local governments and states must follow or else there'll be questions they need to answer.

True.

But why hasn't that happened? The "negative forces" in Nigeria are way more than the "positive forces". Yar'Adua is fighting an uphill battle!

I have sources in the presidency and I can tell you it's not easy ruling that country called Nigeria.

Apply for One year OFF and manage the research. _{It is so easy to sit in one comfort zone and complain}
