Musa Yar'adua Is The New President Of Nigeria!

Na wah o i thnk sey na0atiku go win god bles naija

same here bro.

Please check out "The Yar'Adua We Didn't Know" in General Discussion

I said my congrats to him last december and i'm not repeating it.

I say a BIG SORRY to those who wasted their valuable time voting (esp. for someone else)

Next time, vote for the obvious not for the best man 

I'm glad i didn't even register in the first place, but i'm a veery good citizen.

Nigeria  - BBC- Big Blind Country- Ebami Eda.
  I did  not think that Yar''dua and Andy Ubah would not be president select and governor select respectively because INEC spent of its time pursuing court battles against Ngige and Atiku .  What happpened to 4 billion Naira awarded to RELTEL to digitally transmit  results? Another farce. Mr Iwu is a paid agent of OBJ. I blame National Assembly for some of these problems. They confirmed Iwu's appointment. They enacted the electoral laws  that INEC hinged on to almost deny opposition the chance to contest. They enacted the laws that will establish election tribunal without any time frame.  A tribunal can sit for 3 year before  giving out a verdict. Why can't election tribunals complete sitting before handing over- the same way it was done in Mexico.

Finally, why don't we set a national election day so that every legal tussle has to be won 3 months before election.

Of course the politicians know that Nigerians will accept (over time) whatever is throw at them, just so that we move on. We need to stand up and ask our leaders to give account. If we keep harping on "he was the most credible candidate among the northern candidates" we'll never progress.

If he was the best (he has credibility, though), why did they have to hang a burden of credibility of electoral malpractice on his shoulders? Why not conduct a transparent electoral process and let him win? Why must they drag the name of the country in the mud? It goes to show that the Federal Govt and PDP were really afraid of the other candidates and nurse some fears that if given a level playing field, there is the chance of someone springing a surprise on their candidate. Yar'adua need to clear so many things about the legitimacy of his mandate before he can be taken seriously within and without Nigeria, whether or not he's an angel. The (fair) electoral process is what gives an elected officer the power to act. Whatever decision he takes, he's supposed to take on behlaf of the people but when he's not legitimately elected, all his acts would be illegal. This is not a case of "the end justifying the means".

What we do not realise is the fact that the courts may still nullify the election(s) and call for a fresh election and by then, Obasanjo and most governors would have been out of power and may not be there to deliver the polluted mandate to him.

Besides, the earlier we start setting things aright in our country the better and easier it will get for us.

Iyke-D

I got no investment in moribund Transcorp as not  to want a total make over for Nigerian polity. Its self delusional to think this selection  will  take us  to the promised land.   I thought  Atiku was the ONLY problem in Nigeria. Even without Atiku in OBJ's government, the election was still a sham.

9ja4eva exactly.

i think that even if the election was as free nd fair as the most righteous person in the world going to everybody's house with the ballot boxes for people to drop their votes,musa umaru ya'aradua would ve still emerged as the president. i think he has the most fans.

We don't have to bother ourselves over something that is over. Because u guys should know that ELECTIONS TRIBUNALS will just end up wasting our time with no good outcome. Come to think of it, Yar'adua is not that bad, he will just end up making our country **Hidden and Insignificant** just like Katsina state. Who among u know Yar'adua before october last year? just a few i guess.

Do you need a soothsayer to tell you that Yar'dua is going to be like his master OBJ. Have you checked his state on JAMB to see that only 3442 people out of  5,792,578 applied to sit for JAMB in 2006. Does he have any reason to give as to why he has not done anything in last 8 years with regard to  mass illiteracy in his state? People say that he is less corrupt, when you have over 90 % of your population as illiterates, who can raise an eyebrow when it comes managing of state's resources?

EU commission assessed all the governors in Nigeria. I know for sure that Yar'dua did not make it in the top five. Embattled Chris Ngige of Anambra out performed him.  We know  Donald Duke as the brain behind Obudu Cattle Ranch and Tinapa.  What does Yar'dua really have to show us? He has an ailment and yet has not built any hospital to cater for his medical need. I am tired of Nigerians always praising mediocre.

Is not a shame that war torn Congo could hold an election that measured to a decent standard? Is not a shame that Irag could organize an election, likewise Afghanistan. Folks will say that America oversaw the whole process? Do we need America to organize polls for us? By the way, Palestine organized a free and fair election.  Look at how low we have gone as a nation.

@adconline,


Why all the anger? 

Don't concern yourself, but let me worry about my investment in Transcorp, its
my money - but thank you for being so caring, I will get back to you in about 6
months, okay? 

Promised land? Why do everybody keep talking about promised land? Which
promised land are we talking about? As far as I know, such leader is yet to be
born in Nigeria, the political institutions or culture is not there and the people
are not ready. Lets worry about the basics first - like improved power supply,
water, Lagos - Benin road, and schools before we talk about space and the likes.

Finally, those wishing to have a Liberia or Congo in Nigeria, you truly have no
idea what war does to a people or to a nation. I will prefer my Nigeria the way
it is any day than to subject it to a Congolese or Liberian experiment.

By the way, how is that great new democrat of Nigeria, your friend Atiku doing, I
haven't heard a word from him this past couple of days - maybe the Sultan has
placed the phone call, you get my drift. . .

i hope you all will overlook the numerous mistakes in my contribution and get the message.

I was grown up in nija but nija stil remain nija
because the politice that take place in nija is bcomin wose
but people are changing  because every one is bcomin wise

All Yar'Adua fans, you can be happy now that your credible man got an appointment via incredible means.

Yar'Adua is not a sickler and never had a kidney problem as you all claimed, but yah,  something remains clear here that, No Elections were held and some people were declared winners, Voters were forced to vote for someone they don't like, lots of voters lost their lifes and above all, the Alphabet edited Agency which has been existing since the time of IBB helped in burying the profound transition of our democracy.

Developing countries are passing through same expiriece, United States of America once passed through this section, and those that their fathers contributed nagetively to the development scheme of the united states are still regreting it, while their generation to come will live to, too.

Just like, Obasanjo, Atiku, Yar'Adua, INEC, them them, and all their team have contributed right now, I know strongly in my spirit that Nigeria will not remain the same, and then, History will judge us all,  all our great rigging.

Apology will be not necessary in my case because I already said "Keep Your Mouth Shut" so, the next line of action is here,  ACCEPT YOUR TEMPORATY FAITH, NIGERIA.

Regards,

Segoye2
